Great tips! Boy do I miss CONS! May I add another tip? Comfortable footwear. If your feet aren't happy, your whole day will be ruined.
YES! Good tip
Totally agree with the comment of asking groups for help if you're alone and a stranger is creeping on you! I was going to a late night panel with friends long ago (waiting in a long line) and a random girl came up to me, hooked her arm through mine and started talking to us as if we were all close friends. I was super confused before I realized she was trying to escape someone! She asked if she could sit with us at the panel, I agreed and it was a great panel! I never got to say goodbye, but random girl if you're out there; I hope you were able to escape whoever was harrassing you after that panel!! We've all been there; innocently talking to someone when the conversation turns sour or weird, but you're still in a line or un-escapable area :(
your entire UA-cam channelled is just a cosplay conventions on daily youtube life so we are always at a convention.
That's so sweet omg 🥺
Me watching this with no plans to go to a convention, ever-
@@barookies me but i'm going this month! 😭😭
@@schzophrnic AAAA if u didn’t already go have fun!! Or if u went I hope u had fun! (Sorry for late reply loll)
@@schzophrnicme but im going in 3 days 😭
@@barookiessame :,)
Omg, I remember when I first Cosplayed at on con and my dress got caught in the escalator!! 😭🤣
You've lived my nightmare 😭
@@ChelleBelleCosplay Aww, it's ok, I realized quickly that everyone at cons are super sweet and helped me out :') is was so scary I WAS LIKE 11, lol
what character did you cosplay as?
this is so helpful. I've never been to a convention and I honestly am a clueless little bean lol
I'm so glad it was helpful!

*Perfectly balanced, as all things should be*
Me and my friends are planning on going to cons over the summer as the sdr2 characters so thank you so much for making this! (I'm going as sonia btw 😂)
PAIGE! A confirmed Sonia Queen! I love it, have fun!!!
@@ChelleBelleCosplay Thanks boo, and I hope you have a wonderful day! 😁
That sounds so cool! I hope you guys have fun if you go!
im probably gonna go as casual chiaki in a con that will happen in 2022.
sonia>>> (I’m saying this as a kazuichi kinnie, for a grain of context)
Chelle: There are two cosplays I physically can’t sit down in and they don’t come to cons with me.
Me: You have not seen Kaitlyn sit down backwards in their Squidward cosplay have you 😂😂
Bold of them not to simply sit on the fluffy plush legs behind her butt
Oh they’ve tried haha. But it makes sitting in chairs hard so they have to sit backwards like a thug
No need to sit when you got that drip (I'm kidding children, please do better than me.)
IS THAT FAMOUS LIP SYNC BATTLE CHAMPION APOCALYPSE UNICORN????
When I went to my first con I literally started crying because I didn’t want to ask people for pictures even tho I really wanted too. I didn’t enjoy myself as much as I’d hope so this truly helps a lot! Thank you!!💛
Oh no, I'm so sorry you felt that way! People are genuinely so friendly at cons, I hope you can get some photos next time!
@@ChelleBelleCosplay hopefully with these tips I can enjoy myself next time I go!
AA TYSM- I WAS ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO GO TO A CON WITH MY FRIENDS tomORrOw BUT OUR FRIEND’S BIRTHDAY PARTY IS TOMORROW SO WERE GOING TO ONE IN OCTOBER ✨🍒
you don’t need to answer but is it in Illinois, I’m going to one in October!
Thank you so much for this! I’ve gone to a convention before, but never as a cosplayer. Thank you for all the tips! (I’ve only been to one con, I wasn’t there for all that long)
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Going to a convention and cosplaying at a convention are so different, lol. I'll have more videos in the future just for cosplayers!
I always ask if i can take a picture but sometimes i ask to NOT look at camera and to CONTINUE what they was doing because i want to take picture of how people have fun at con
Me wanting to go to a convention: 😊
A slight problem.
*People*
Life hack: wear a cosplay that you can hide in (like a giant pikachu mascot costume). People will want photos, but you don't have to talk lol
Awesome video! Personally I always bring a little safety kit with me at cons as well. This usually includes over the counter medications and personal medications. Band-aids too!
This is a great tip! I bring what I call my "emergency kit" with the same things, plus some cosplay repair gear! I plan to do a video about in the future 😊
Ugh I want to go to a con again so badly but with work now its nearly impossible to get the time off.
Thank you so much for this 💖! I have been cosplay for 1 year and a bit and i wanna go to a con after corona and I was so nervous but excited. Your a huge insperation for me!
Aw, thank you so much, that makes me so happy! I hope you have fun, your first convention is so exciting! ❤️
2 years late but me and my friend are going to our first con in about a month, and this was super helpful! :)
I'm so glad! Have an amazing time!
Me and my best friend have a con in literally ten days this helped a ton!
I'm so glad, I hope you have a ton of fun!
I have been attending cons consistently since about 2018. And attended my first con back in 2015. And I understand all of these rules. But I remember my early days in cosplaying, and I didn't know these rules as I didn't realize that watching videos or had friends to tell me about what were general rules, suggestions or anything about how to survive a con. Here I have, years later with over 10 cons under my belt as well as over 30 cosplays under my belt. And have been wanting to share my take on what are general rules for cons
Thank you! Even if I don’t plan on ever going to a con, these are still really helpful!
And theres me.. (not the only one ik) who started cosplaying for Halloween
Same.
Thank you! This was so helpful cuz I’m gonna be going to Anime Boston next week, and this is helping me prepare so much! And I just can’t wait, thank you so much for the tips
Thank you so much! I'm going to anime magic this year in Angie and hopefully Sayaka and maybe Monomi! Its my first convention ever and this video is gonna help so much!
IM GOING TO MY FIRST CON IN NOVEMBER AND I'M SUPER EXCITED!
Thank you for this video! I'm taking a friend to their first convention and I've been trying to find videos that can help them prepare for the experience. This is the most comprehensive video that I've found so far!
You have everything on point
9:15 I understand this. I will never take a photo of someone without their permission. If I did my parents would probably take my phone away lol. They’ve raised me to be a kind, loyal girl, not a creep
Went to my first con a few weeks ago and had that same overwhelming feeling, I was shaking so bad my bestie had to hold my hand for a while haha. Im going to another con next month, hopefully more emotionally prepared!
Love your videos! I have a MHA panel with a bunch of friends in September and nervous even though it’s a fair bit away
This week i have my first Anime convation, thanks for the tips . I'm so excited 😊😀
Have fun!
Thanks for the tips, im going to the comic con in july, super stoked for my first time. Also doing a little partying in san diego afterwards 🎉
Im 13, Ive been asking to go, they are finally letting me today. Im so excited! Though the prop is the only thing I made myself, itll be fun.
Going to Visioncon this year, and I’m stocking up on con knowledge bc it’s my first con! And I’m going in miku cosplay! My first cosplay, and my first con!!
Hi I’m going in serial designation J
I just finished my first cosplay and am going to my fist con this weekend. Good that it's a full set of 3d printed armor that I can't even sit down in let alone go to the bathroom. XD I already have planned a backup outfit though.
Ty for the tips!:D ✨💕
No problem!
love the hamster in the thumbnail!!
Omg thanks, I literally finished the thumbnail just as the video went live because I was hunting for Hatsune Miku hair😅
Whenever I get to go to a con I don't think I'll ever wear a super complex outfit as I will forget that I can't do everything I can do in a normal outfit and end up ruining ithfh
sonianevermind
@@bsdelisee y e s
I don't know if you included this, but usually there is also a cosplay catwalk!
thank you! helped quite a bit!
I'm glad! 😁
Thank you so much! If restrictions lift more then i will be going to a con and im so nervous and this helped alot! Also could you maybe do tips for young cosplayers/new cosplayers? Also love your vids!❤️
Edit: the con is quite far away
I'm so glad this helped! I hope you have fun, hopefully I can go to a con soon too! ❤️ Those are great video ideas, thank you!
Thank you for making this video! I’m going to a convention in a month and I’m so nervous!!!
I'm glad it was helpful, I hope you have a blast!
I’m putting together a Ranboo cosplay, I hope to go to Sakura Con this year and meet some other nerds like me- I’ve been to one con in my whole life and I didn’t cosplay there
Thankyou so much for these tips! Im going to a comicon this weekend and i had no idea what to do. This helped so much!
Glad I could help! I hope you have fun!!!
good pfp i approve, thank you for reminding me yttd exists😌
I’m cosplaying My Invader Zim oc and genderbent Crypto from Destroy all humans soon XD
I seriously needed this since I have not been to a con in months
I'm going to my first convention in May! I'm super excited after waiting years.
Have fun!
I didn't come to this video expecting to see my face on screen for two seconds, but here we are lmao. I'm honored.
I'm going to a con really soon and I have very bad anxiety but this helped a lot with what to do and how to ask for help thx
Thank you dear
Great video! @6:52 my next costume consists of my regular clothes and a lab coat, so basically my whole medical career makes for a loooooong cosplay test run 😂; @10:50 this is so important, I wish I had been given this piece of advice at my wedding reception, I basically starved for the whole day because as soon as I tried to sit down and eat/drink anything someone would grab me and drag me around to take pictures - it sounds silly but I got a nervous breakdown for 2 days afterward, so please people let's be decent human beings and respect boundaries!
im hoping to get a tenko chabashira cosplay and go with my friend who would be cosplaying tsumugi shirogane to megacon in august!! thank u for posting this
That sounds awesome, have fun!
@@ChelleBelleCosplay thank you so much!! your video was really helpful
I have been cosplaying for 7 years and been to like 5 cons im here for ideas and bc Im lazying and don't want to make my cosplay.
Update: this even helped me even tho I have been going to cons and at katsucon my parents freind actually worked there and it made me feel more comfortable bc there was so much ppl lucky I getted to chill behind the counter
Great video. Watching from London UK.❤
Thank you
Ooo I see the monomi prob!!
watching this to prepare for tekko 2021 :)) if it doesn’t happen i’ll literally unalive myself
your so underrated, you deserve like 100k subs. i hope u get there one day!
This is so sweet, thank you! 🥺💕 I'd love to get to 100k someday!
@@ChelleBelleCosplay wow you actually saw my comment! ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ
I try to respond to as many as I can! :D also side note I use that little cat emoticon ALL the time with my friends and I love it ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ
@@ChelleBelleCosplay wow i love the cat emoji too! also i love that you try to respond to everyone
Cosplay seems fun! Although Im still 14 currently but i want to try cosplaying sometime on the future haha
You can still cosplay I'm thirteen and I cosplay.
I'm glad you mentioned furry cons among all of that, cosplayers and furries are essentially the same thing. I do plan on going to both furry and cosplay cons in the future but right now I'm still new to both and young so yeah.
ima go to super on in may so tysm
I'm glad it was helpful, I hope you have fun!
I'm going to Kumoricon tomorrow (Not a cosplayer)
I really wanted to learn proper etiquette. Thank you so much
That's awesome, I hope you had a great time!
@@ChelleBelleCosplay I did! The convention was so fun, and I got a lot of pictures with really cool cosplayers!
The video has really good tips
Glad it was helpful!
I have a question.um can you make a vid on how to style a wig?if no its fine cause i just brought my first cosplay and i dont really know hoe to style it😅
Thank youuu! These helped a bunch. Im like super excited because I'm going to a con in june as Toga UwU
I figured since she has a gas mask in the kidnapping bakugo arc thing that her design would work :D
That's so smart, omg! I hope to go to a con in August and I have to pick a cosplay with a cool mask lol. I hope you have fun!
@@ChelleBelleCosplay
I really want to go to a convention, but I don’t think I Can travel to far or leave state and i don’t know if I can save up enough money, and I don’t even know how to know when or where conventions are.
Also I’m currently working on my first costume!!! I’m making dragons wings and stuff
my wig sometimes itches me im going to a convention soon can u make a tutorial of how to get ur wig from itching to non itching it would help me so much!
thank u sm :cries: im going to a con when covid dies down a little more, most likely being next year or the one after that, so im just binging tese vids
there’s a con in my country which is going to start next month, and i really want to cosplay but also take photographs, since im kinda of a beginner photographer who wants to practice.. >_
The *only* con where I live is on for 2 days every year.. but since it’s every year I actually can save up some money to buy stuff👽
I'm the black sheep of my family because I decided that instead of a quinceañera I'll go to a convention
IM GOING TO A CON! i started cosplaying at 11! and this is my first con.Im going as curces baby i made my whole cos myself me. As a 12yo
I’m a *master* at holding my bladder, I can hold it for 15 hours straight
I am going there with my bestfriends and mom so it's gonna be really fun i am going to kibecon in finland espoo in sellon kirjasto
I’m going to a con on the 24!! My first one ever
That's so exciting, have fun!
The only convention I’ve ever been to is a Doctor Who convention. I was like 9? I got to hug an Ewok(idk why an Ewok and wookie were there) and see one of the doctor’s and a dalek!
lol watching this in full cosplay less than a week before my second con haha
Im going to my first in may as toga and i am thinking of bringing one of those fake retractable knifes and i dont know if they are fine to bring can anyone tell me? Tysm
I'm going to my first convention in 2 month's. My friend's don't want to go anymore and my family isn't into anime. Do you have advice for going alone?
17:19 * Sad Zenitsu cosplayer noises* xD
I’m going to a con in January, this is a small question but do you wear your cosplay and go straight to the con or do you go to a hotel first and get into your cosplay?
It depends! If I'm staying at a hotel for a convention I usually arrive the night before it starts, so I'll go to the hotel first. If I'm just going to the convention for a day I'll go in cosplay straight away.
Not me watching this 6 conventions later
How do panels work? Ive watched so many danganronpa ones and have always wanted to be in one!
Good question! I've never been in a character panel, but usually you apply before the convention with your idea, and they give you a time in the schedule!
So I’m a MAJOR fan of danganronpa and I’ve been watching videos on UA-cam we’re cosplays set up panels were they do things like play games and talk with a small room of people. Now I may be stupid but this seems like something that would be fun to be in the audience for or even set up one of the panels and do the talking and activities. I am just not sure if this is a regular panel that you can sign up for or attend or if it’s something special so if someone could tell me that would be amazing.
Yup, that's a panel!
@@ChelleBelleCosplay ok thank you so much
Omg my mom said we can go to Comic con someday.
I live in Australia and since they have removed masks and can go somewhere, I can finally go to cons😙
watching this to prep myself for the lip sync I agreed to participate in at my first con & i’m super nervous
im going to my first convention in a few months and i dont really know what to expect. one thing i want to know is what is a good amount of money to bring? i want to buy things there but how muchmoney should i bring?
Everyone spends differently, so instead of saying one amount, I'm going to list some prices for things you can buy and you can decide how much you'll need!
Stickers: $1-3 each
Pins: $1-3 each
Enamel pins: $10-15 each
Charms: $15+
Small prints: $5+
Large prints: $20+
Plush: $20-50
Figures: $50-100+
There's more things available than just those, but that's a general list of what should be there!
@@ChelleBelleCosplay thank you!! gotta save up my money lol
heyyyy :3
Hi! 👋
I really wanna go to a convention but i live in Missouri and almost all the conventions are in St Louis and i live almost 4 hours away and there's no way i could convince my mom to let me go T-T
thats how i feel! mechacon stopped running in new orleans and now there’s no more anime cons 😭
My question is, can i go without a cosplay? Im going to a convention in 2 days, wich is definitely not enough time to get a cosplay atm and i dont want to be the only person there without one
100%! Many people go to conventions in normals clothes, you definitely won't be the only one ☺️
The amount of struggle you have when you habe to go to the toilet in an attack on titan cosplay
Drink water!!!!:D
Tip number 6 😉
Especially if you have a bulky costume.
a question: can people go with only the wig and casual clothes?
definitely!
I'm new to cosplay and don't know how to talk to anyone
Question: whats the minimal age for going to a anime cos con?
Most conventions are for all ages, but many require that young people attend with an adult! Check the website and ticket options to find out. Usually there will be "youth tickets" for a certain age range (like ages 0-14 for example) and to buy a youth ticket you also have to buy an adult ticket.
Chelle : google search your location's convantions
Me already knowing that in Romania there aren't any conventions: :'(
East European Comic Con is in Bucharest in August ❤️
I was wondering, is it okay to vlog at conventions? Just checking, because I could accidentally get somebodies face in it.
Generally speaking, it is okay. Legally, you are allowed to film people when they are in public, but I try not to film people without their permission. When I vlog conventions, I ask the people I'm with for permission to film them. Sometimes I send my video to my friends to review before I post it, so I can take out anything they don't want online. My best advice is to use common sense and ask for permission when you can!
Does conventions exist in Sweden??
NarCon, Fantastika, and Heroes Comic Con Stockholm!
@@ChelleBelleCosplay oh thank you!!
I don't understand people who don't ask for permission you get a better shot and a pose!
I want to cosplay the dsmp but I’m scared I will get made fun of :{
Cosplay what you want! Conventions are usually very positive and friendly. As long as you're kind and respectful, no one should care what you cosplay.
It's okay people care mostly about themselves and even if they do make fun of you don't listen to them.
@@ChelleBelleCosplay I remember you replying to this! Im replying just now to tell you I know cosplay whatever I want and Im not scared! Thank you :)
😭❤️😭❤️😭❤️😭 this makes me so happy!!!!!
