Cosplayer Spotlight: TheRealWeaponX
Greetings, Vocal readers. Happy New Year to everyone. A new decade has arrived and that means more cosplayer interviews, like the one I'm about to tell everyone about. For almost two years, I've had the pleasure of interviewing nearly 30 cosplayers. I got to know a lot of interesting things about them, especially the hobbies they do outside of cosplay. My first cosplayer spotlight of 2020 begins with TheRealWeaponX, a cosplayer from California that portrays the X-Men character, Wolverine, accurately and well. Before 2019 came to a close, I had the chance to interview him. I hope everyone enjoys it and get to know more about him.
Mark Wesley PritchardPublished 4 years ago in GeeksGiovanni Morassutti latest interview
The acting profession is brutal. As an actor you are rejected most of the time. It is part of the business. My suggestion is never to take it personally and to take the profession more like a lifestyle than a real job. You might make a couple of films per year and sometimes the money is not that good. This uncertainty makes you very fragile. I’ve suffered from depression and gone to therapy. You have to work on yourself in order to do what you love. Along with therapy, yoga and sports are good ways to release tension and relieve suffering.
Fred GoldmanPublished 4 years ago in GeeksCosplayer Spotlight: Anastasia Manson
Greetings, Vocal readers. I'm back with yet another cosplayer feature. 2020 will be here before you know it and planning on closing out 2019 with a bang. I recently had a chance to feature Anastasia Manson, aka Midnight's Kiss Cosplay, and it was really great to know more about her. I want to remind everyone that if you like any of my articles, including the cosplayers I interviewed earlier this year, please feel free to send me a one-off tip, which is located at the end of every article. No tip is ever too big or small, because it helps me and other Vocal creators write better stories. Also, be sure to join Vocal+, a premium membership with new features and benefits. Thank you in advance for the support you have shown to me in 2019. In the meantime, get to know more about Anastasia and enjoy the interview.
Mark Wesley PritchardPublished 4 years ago in GeeksCosplayer Spotlight: Wesley Jermaine Thompson
Greetings, Vocal readers. I'm back with another cosplayer interview. I love interviewing different cosplayers and getting to know more about them. Between the summer of 2018 and now, I've interviewed over two dozen cosplayers. Cosplayers from other countries to here in the United States, every one of them were amazing. The next cosplayer that I got to interview recently is Wesley Jermaine Thompson, a Steam/Dieselpunk cosplayer from Florida. Before I get started, I want to remind everyone that if you like any of my articles, including the cosplayers I interviewed earlier this year, please feel free to send me a one-off tip, which is located at the end of every article. No tip is ever too big or small, because it helps me and other Vocal creators write better stories. Also, be sure to join Vocal+, a premium membership with new features and benefits. Thank you in advance for the support you have shown to me in 2019. As I've stated in my last article, I'll have more cosplayer interviews posted here on Vocal in the coming days, so please check them out, once they are posted. In the meantime, please enjoy my interview with Wesley.
Mark Wesley PritchardPublished 4 years ago in GeeksCosplayer Spotlight: Key Jones
Greetings, Vocal readers. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. The month of December has finally arrived and we are weeks away from saying goodbye to 2019 and hello to 2020. To end the year on a positive note, I've had several cosplayers who have recently contacted me to be interviewed and a few of them are coming in the coming days. Recently, I had a chance to interview cosplayer Key Jones. Before I get started, I want to remind everyone that if you like any of my articles, including the previous cosplayer interviews I've done earlier this year, please feel free to send me a one-off tip, which can be located at the end of every article. No tip is ever too big or small. Your tip helps me and other Vocal creators write better stories. Other than that, I hope you enjoy my interview with Key.
Mark Wesley PritchardPublished 4 years ago in GeeksJessica Sherr and Her Bette Davis Show Ain’t for Sissies
Long before Jessica Sherr received acclaim for her one woman show on Bette Davis, she learned how easily things can go awry onstage. “I was in Frosty the Snowman, and right before I went on, I sneezed,” Sherr remembered. “My mom didn’t have time to wipe my nose and through the whole dance I was crying.” The attention she got, though, made her realize that, “this was it.” But what the three year old didn’t realize was that not folding in the face of pitfalls would be an ongoing two step that has led to success.
Rich MonettiPublished 5 years ago in GeeksCosplayer Spotlight: Walter 'Kidkryptonite' Johnson
Greetings, Vocal readers. As I prepare to head to Little Rock for Arkansas Comic Con this weekend, I decided to do a cosplayer interview to pass up the time. One of the things I love the most about interviewing a cosplayer is getting to know more about them and share my articles about them to my followers on social media. Recently, I had the opportunity to interview Walter 'Kidkryptonite' Johnson. His cosplays are amazing to see on my social media feeds. I hope you enjoy my interview with him.
Mark Wesley PritchardPublished 5 years ago in GeeksQ and A with 'ANW's' Allyssa Beird
(Q) Jason: What is your pre-game routine, if you have such a thing, before an ANW run? (A) Allyssa Beird: I know a few ninjas have specific foods they will eat, or a certain warmup they will do. I don't have anything too specific that I tend to regularly do before my runs, though I do ensure I have warmed up sufficiently and have visualized the course a good handful of times. So, I suppose, the visualization is the most regular thing I will do that is more specific than just warming up. I find a quiet place, close my eyes, and try to run through the course in real-time, timing myself after a few run-throughs in my head. I play through a couple of scenarios to see how the time changes, if I can anticipate any issues or ways to be more efficient, and then I continue to warm up!
Fern Sutherland on the Record
With the sixth series of The Brokenwood Mysteries currently filming, I took the opportunity to put a few questions to New Zealand actress Fern Sutherland. For the past five series, Sutherland has played "by the book" Detective Kristin Sims opposite Neill Rea’s Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Shepherd on the New Zealand detective drama.

Shain ThomasPublished 5 years ago in GeeksCosplayer Spotlight: Isaiah Gieck
One of my favorite things about being a cosplayer is meeting people and forming friendships in the process. Not only that, but showing off my cosplays and enjoying myself at cons. I'm currently preparing for a con that's happening in my area in approximately a week. Also, I'll be attending Arkansas Comic Con for the first time in September. I'll be doing a review of that con on Vocal soon. If you haven't seen my last cosplayer interview, you can read it in the link at the end of this article. In the meantime, I'm back with another cosplayer interview. Recently, I had a chance to interview Isaiah Gieck, via Facebook, and got to know more about him. So sit back and enjoy my interview with him.
Mark Wesley PritchardPublished 5 years ago in GeeksCosplayer Spotlight: Joshua Meeks
It has been a month since I've done a cosplayer interview, but now, I'm back to do some more before I attend GlitchCon in almost a week. If you haven't checked out my last cosplayer interview, you can click on the link below. I recently got a chance to interview Joshua Meeks, via my cosplay page on Facebook. The reason why I interview cosplayers is because I want my followers and everyone on Vocal to get to know more about them. Other than that, I hope you enjoy my interview with Joshua.
