Cosplayer 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.

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.
Mark Wesley PritchardPublished 5 years ago in GeeksCosplayer Spotlight: Salina Curry
Interviewing almost two dozen cosplayers has been amazing. I got to know each and every one of them. To me, the cosplay community is one of many communities I'm proud to be part of. Whenever I go to a con, meeting people and enjoying the atmosphere are the two things I love the most about being a cosplayer. Being a cosplayer since 2014 has been a blessing. I've had my highs and lows, but managed to overcome so many obstacles, especially outside of cosplay. Not only that, but making lots of friends and having amazing con adventures in the process. I'll be attending cons outside of Arkansas, where I currently reside, in the future. That has always been one of my goals, so you'll be seeing more of me down the road.

Patrick Collins of Katonah Is an Actor with Character
In 1973, Patrick Collins’s Bronx background led him to teaching religion at John F. Kennedy High School in Somers. The Bronx upbringing also played a part in becoming a child actor in shows like The Guiding Light. His mother setting him on that course. But the fling with acting in elementary school didn’t have as much a say on his career path than the 13 plays he did as an undergrad at Villanova.

Kui-Fang Tseng recently completed her first lead role of a musical in Theater Row. Playing a North Vietnamese soldier in War+Lovers, she welcomed the story arc that her character had to carry. “There’s a beginning, a middle and an end," said Tseng. "You must build up the drama so the character changes, and the audience can experience the story." On the other hand, she did not initially pursue acting as a college student, but once she did, it was a revelation.

Director Dekel Berenson’s latest short film, Ashmina, didn’t exactly happen overnight. For five years, he set out on an adventure to explore the far ends of the world such as the North Pole and Mount Everest. It was on that trip to Nepal, in 2014, that inspired his latest, thought-provoking film. While in the country’s second largest city, Pokhara, to finish his training as a paragliding pilot, he encountered several local children who left a lasting impression on the UK/Israeli-based filmmaker.
