Here is a once a week series just for those create original characters and cosplay as their original characters! Dress as your OC for the entire series. Any type of OC is welcome. Even if you aren't completely finished costuming your OC, that's fine! Wear what you have so far and join us! Here's how the series will go. Day 1- Get to know you and your OC! We spend our session introducing one another to ourselves, our OCs, and explaining all the fun details and back stories of our characters. Day 2- OC Role Play Panel. Each cosplayer will improv act and react as their character as Mama Cosplay holds a general question panel. The questions will be easy to answer for each OC as Learners begin to get comfortable acting out the personalities of their original characters. Day 3- We work together as a group to build a multi-verse for the original characters in our class. Each Learner will participate to help create a world where all of our OCs come together and must interact. What has happened to bring them together? We focus on story details in this section. If time allows, we begin to improv act as our OCs in this new multi verse. Day 4- OC Multi Verse Improv Experience. The Original Characters will improv scenes from within the multi verse created the week prior. Mama Cosplay will help lead the group and make sure each character has a chance to participate. No improv acting experience is necessary to attend. Mama is a skilled improv leader and will help your Learner get comfortable with improv role play as their beloved OC. This is a fun, accepting, friendly, and loving experience where ALL OCs will be welcome and treated with respect by all members of the group. Thank you for your interest!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Is your child a cosplayer or wanting to be a cosplayer? Do they want to join other cosplayers online in a safe, happy, encouraging space? Do they want to learn from cosplayers paid to speak at conventions, events, and are sponsored by costume companies? Do they want to be a part of a friendly cosplay community? Then please read more about our organization, Cosplay Is Life here on Outschool!
Our leader! Mama Cosplay! Mama Cosplay is known worldwide as the "Internet Cosplay Mom." Mama has a large social media following due to her portrayal of original anime characters, and her engaging, loving, encouraging way with children. Not only is she a cosplay mother figure, but she's also skilled in all areas of cosplay. Mama knows it's more than just having the cosplay skills. You have to be able to connect with children AND be able to communicate in a manner that makes the child excited to learn more. Mama excels at cosplay education with clear communication presented with pizazz, energy, and enthusiasm. Mama has over 100 wigs, even more costumes, cosplay accessories, and an endless supply of makeup. Mama is a top cosplay influencer, which means companies provide her with any costume item she wants. She is also paid to speak at cosplay conventions and is a cosplay cabaret show producer! She's also the mom of 3 child cosplayers, one of which is also a professional cosplayer! Mama has developed over 50 unique, original cosplay classes and events since she began her educator career with Outschool. Top sellers include Mama Cosplay's Cosplay Prom, The Cozzies Cosplay Awards, Crimes Against Cosplay, cosplay parties for every holiday, private cosplay instruction, and private parties.
One thing we must mention is that Mama is also known for bringing shy learners out of their shells. Many children begin her classes feeling awkward, and with much social anxiety. The transformation that happens in her classes is incredible! Soon those shy children are social butterflies and many have gone on to become big names in the cosplay industry, and/or surrounded by new friends, and many are now looked up to as mentors for young cosplayers.
Bucky- every cosplayer's big brother.
Bucky is an outgoing, bubbly, fun, inclusive instructor who quickly rose to popularity here on Outschool because he's close enough in age to the students that he relates to their generation, but old enough to lead them properly and with much enthusiasm. Bucky loves to cosplay from many fandoms, is an avid video gamer, and is very enthusiastic when it comes to all things cosplay and anime. Students love Bucky so much they have made Bucky cosplay playing cards, Bucky fan art, and Bucky memes. You can find Bucky on the schedule every other Sunday.
Lore: (Mama's child) Lore became a professional, sponsored cosplayer at age 15. Lore is sponsored by major costume companies, wig companies, and makeup lines. Lore was a teacher's assistant on Outschool for a year and is now an official Outschool cosplay educator. Lore leads the Five Nights at Freddy's cosplay group, the DSMP group, The Scariest Cosplay Group, and more!
Ari- Ari is a professional chef and leads the Cooking With Cosplayers series.
If you want your cosplayer to learn from cosplayers who represent the very best in the business, and will properly guide your child through every aspect of cosplay, please give the educators at Cosplay Is Life a try. Mama truly cares and wants your child to leave class feeling happy, encouraged, praised, and enthused!
