Host Zavage Cosplay interviews Bree Han about her cosplay journey where we discuss the rise of cosplay music videos,the lasting friendships they've made through conventions, and the dreaded post convention dinner scenario (IYKYK).

Bree Han is a professional voice actor and cosplayer of 10 years! Her first time cosplaying was her second convention at Oni-con 2013, and since then she’s made the transition to being a voice actor who also cosplays the characters she voices. Prior to cosplaying her own characters, what Bree loved most about cosplay was getting to be someone else for a day and feel confident by acting as another person. While that is still true, now there’s a certain special aspect to getting to cosplay a character that you are also the official voice of (such as Misaki from DMDP or Xiaolan from The Apothecary Diaries for Bree). The convention scene holds a special place in Bree’s heart as it introduced her to her passion of voice acting, and now conventions look a little different for her as a working professional in the field than they did before as a regular attendee.

All this and more on Episode 1 of the Cosplay Crunch! Hi! My name is Carol (Owl & Coffee on social media) and I've been cosplaying since October 2006 (almost 18 years now? Is that right???). I learned how to sew from my mom and grandmother because I wanted to learn how to make clothes for myself to realize the visions I had in my head, and that happened to coincide with the summer one of my best friends from childhood had gone to her first convention. She worked hard to convince me to go with her to her next one (Oni-con, in Houston) but I wasn't really convinced... until she mentioned that people dressed up. I'm not sure why, but THAT is what hooked me on the idea, and the rest is history! I always enjoy finding new and challenging things to create and I love running around conventions with my friends as the gremlin that I am! I have made so many friends and memories in my time in this community and I'm looking forward to many more!
