Steps

1. 1

   Preparation

   You don't have to take your time at the last moment 1 Play the part you're most comfortable with! (and as the contests progress you will really find what is most pleasant to you) "Thinking about the moveable with your costume If you don't feel it the scenery for a first is NOT indispensable 2 Adjust your performance as needed! When you repeat it, you see what you feel or don't do by staying comfortable. You're in a suit. You need to know if you are not embarrassed in your movement (quite to change part of the costume OR simply change that part of the performance) If possible Show your parents/kids/friends... People with whom you feel good (even better if you relax before, games, jokes etc...)

   
2. 2

   The Day of Convo-

   Check the organizer's instructions! (time, place in the convention, prejudice, competitions...) -mark (or ask the organizers) The competition booth The scene where you pass The lodges The place of prejudice 2 You'll validate your presence, you'll have a chance to predict: The judges will take you apart and you will (usually 2 minutes) explain how you made your suit --->

   
3. 3

   Prejudging

   The judges will look at your suit in detail! Upside down everywhere to see your techniques aren't afraid they're super nice First what you bought 2 Materials, techniques used, lining ... paints ? And if you feel it and you have time to talk about the choices of materials (to stick to the work, because it corresponds to the character ...etc) It's not the same nonsense I did at first!! Don't spend 30 seconds explaining that you did wrong "this part" and how bad it is, What's wrong? Move on! There are plenty of nice details to show <3 It's over

   The competition

   We finally get there!! Eat a little to avoid a drop in tension :3 WATER WOOD We'll announce the order of passage ;) And we'll have to put ourselves in line. (usually if this is your first contest and you specify it in the comment section of the registration TU will NOT be the first) 2 When the contest starts! Look at the others! Encourage them! Generally a solidarity is created and we find ourselves all motivated! It's kind enough.

   The Great Moment

   It's your turn. ♪ Concentrate on the soundtrack ♪ ♪ You're your character ♪ The people came for the contest ;) so they don't look at you "happily" they look at what you're going to do as an animation, the ones before and after you you are in a set NO you're not alone! Don't run away! Necessary photo time

   On stage tips

   Don't look at the public if you're not comfortable, take a look at the "horizon" as far as possible just above people! (I personally look at the lights above the exit doors to "occupy" my eyes in case of stress on stage) Or: look at your friends/parents/accompanied... :p if they don't make you grimaces If a piece of your costume lets you down on stage: no worries it's happened to the big one and it can happen to you, made as if nothing was, don't worry about it! The staff will get it back for you if you don't think about getting it back when you don't finish STRESS. What if you're wrong? Choreography, gesture... no one knows it continues! No worries
