How to Crossplay
So you want to crossplay as a specific character who happens to be of the opposite gender. It's a little more complicated than simply learning how to crossdress, because you're trying to imitate a particular character. Study your character...
Method 1 of 3:
Researching
-
Picture 1 of How to Crossplay Study your character religiously. Play all of their games, watch all of the shows they are in, or read every piece of manga they grace the pages of. -
Picture 2 of How to Crossplay Research on crossplay websites. See if anyone else has crossplayed this character before- find out how they did it and if you can, ask them for tips. -
Picture 3 of How to Crossplay Make notes and sketches on how you're going to make yourself convincing.
Method 2 of 3:
Male Crossplaying as Female Character
-
Picture 4 of How to Crossplay Buy or make a costume; make sure that it will fit you. Shoes are a must. -
Picture 5 of How to Crossplay Get a bargain bra and pad it out with tissue paper, rags or whatever you have in hand. -
Picture 6 of How to Crossplay Grow your hair out or buy a wig if the character has long hair. Make sure your hair looks nice. -
Picture 7 of How to Crossplay Shave your legs, any facial hair you might have and, if they seem a bit beastly, your lower arms too. -
Picture 8 of How to Crossplay Practice walking and talking like a girl. Be sure not to overdo it or you will be less convincing, but make sure you practice especially hard if you're going to have to walk in high heels.
Method 3 of 3:
Female Crossplaying as Male Character
-
Picture 9 of How to Crossplay Get a friend to help you bind down your chest, especially if your male character wears a figure-hugging outfit. If you're not particularly busty, this isn't quite so necessary, but it's recommended if your character wears anything like a tank top. Use either a binder or a compression shirt for this. DO NOT USE ACE BANDAGES OR TAPE, as these can cause fluid buildup in your lungs. If you use a binder, make sure you know how to prevent injuries and fluid buildup in your lungs. -
Picture 10 of How to Crossplay Think about hair. Luckily most men in anime have long girly locks anyway, but if the character you've chosen doesn't, are you willing to have your hair cut short just to play him? If not, consider a wig. Even if you have long hair, you CAN fit it all under a short wig! Likewise, if your character is supposed to wear a hat, you can take advantage of it by simply tucking your hair into the hat. -
Picture 11 of How to Crossplay Throw yourself into the role, swaggering about like you imagine he would. Take on any of his gruff mannerisms (if crossplaying a butch man, it's likely he has nicknames for girls such as "doll" etc.)
