They maintain constant character roles
All of Loonie Times mascot performers and spotters have years of experience, and many have been with the company for years! We interview and hand-pick all our actors, mascot performers, and spotters for their professional and energetic characteristics, as well as their background in entertainment.
It’s crucial that when mascot performing, our team members maintain their energy and enthusiasm. We train them to break character only when necessary, ensuring a seamless experience for our audience. Additionally, they create a vibrant and engaging atmosphere that leaves a lasting impression.
Mascot performer training
Every performer undergoes rigorous mascot training to ensure seamless interaction with audiences of all ages at any kind of event. The role places significant physical demands on performers, requiring specific physical abilities to maintain character and engage crowds effectively.
As an active mascot, performers must be prepared for extended periods of movement and interaction. This demanding role, a unique type of job, requires both physical stamina and creative flair. Ask how we can put a little character into your mascot today!
Being a mascot performer can also be a lot of fun as you often work with well-known brands like our performer who worked the Toronto Pride parade in the Metrolink go-Bear costume.

Professional mascot performers know how to connect with different audiences. They’ll move with ease and confidence, ensuring the magic of the character stays intact throughout the event. They can adjust their energy and antics to fit a lively music festival or a retirement party, ensuring everyone enjoys the mascot’s presence.
Additionally, hiring mascot performers is important for safety purposes.
- Trained performers are aware of their surroundings and know how to carry a costume properly.
- They know how to avoid accidents.
- They are trained in how to interact with children, especially with younger kids who might get overwhelmed.
Your mascot must have a mascot spotter/handler, not only for the safety of the mascot performer but also for the safety of the public! Mascot costumes typically have restricted vision, making it hard for the performer to see their feet, the sides, or low-lying objects.
When operating in a busy street, the mascot handler is even more critical.
- They act as an extra set of eyes, guiding the performer and ensuring a clear path.
- They know how to prevent overheating and fatigue, especially during extended appearances, frequent breaks are essential.
- The handler also watches out for potential hazards and alerts the performer to excited youngsters approaching for a hug.
