/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

This is the second gif. I'll admit, he make a good Eric.

I'm so confused by this. Who are they? Ariel looks like Minnie Driver and Eric looks like Jake Gyllenhall.

i don't know what it is but i really hate this type of face

>>6487279
Ariel is Tracy Hine. I don't know who the Eric is.

She's trying to gain attention by pretending she's synonymous with the character.

>>6487281
too many strong features that she accentuates even more with bad makeup

I have no idea who these people are but I'm not seeing the problem here.

Must be vendetta thread.

It's from her music video.

>>6487288
Never said there was a problem. I found it on tumblr and didn't know where it was from. Anon below provided an explanation and a link.

>>6487288

Not vendetta, just your standard dramu. Tracy Hine has been hated by cgl for a while.

Her mouth is xbox huge.

Apparently she's going to be at ALA. Ugh,

>>6487295
As long as she's not a guest, I don't give a fuck what con she's at.

You guys are so incredibly jealous, it's really funny lol

>>6487297
What exactly are we jealous of again, Traci?

>>6487296
she is having a concert there.

I'm gonna be honest, she's not exactly like amazing, but she's been polite to people as far as I know, unless I'm missing something here.

>>6487296
http://www.animelosangeles.org/ala/2012/bands/

She's listed under the bands.

>>6487300
Definitely not Traci lol
I doubt she'd care too much about 4chan's opinion, let alone care enough to reply.
But cool for thinking you're that important :D

>>6487293
>Traci is currently recording her debut pop album, where each original song has been written about something in pop culture today. So far she’s pulled inspiration from the Twilight Saga, and the celebrated video games Angry Birds, Tiny Wings and Mass Effect.

>>6487301
>>6487304
Well good thing I'm not interested in the concerts.
>>6487313
>Inspiration from the Twilight Saga, and the celebrated video games Angry Birds, Tiny Wings and Mass Effect.
>Twilight Saga
>Angry birds

How the fuck do you pull inspiration from Angry Birds?

>>6487304
>Look over list
>Sperbette
>Suzanne(aka Zaney) as a music guest
What?

>>6487320
I was wondering that....

And Stephanie Yanez....

>>6487323
Yeah. I don't think somebody who does fandubbing(even if she did wig a con contest) really should be listed as an music guest.

I have a feeling it's more to do with her being part of the con in the past as staff then anything.

>>6487327
And her work involves Promstuck and a number of mainstream fandoms. So she might be entertainment for those peoples.

>>6487323
Also looking over Stephanie, she actually has some more professional involvement. Even if it's not huge, but Zaney just has her fandub work. That'd be like the tripfag G being a guest at ALA.

>>6487329
>Work in homestuck related fandoms
>Chaz wanted to get Hussie as a guest at ALA
Geeze it makes sense now.

>>6487335
I think even homestruck fandom hates zaney. Can anyone verify?

>>6487335
>Chaz wanted to get Hussie as guest

WAT. No. Nonononono. Chaz gives the okay for guests and provides ideas, sometimes even saying "hey, i want this person here, so this is happening" but guest lists are almost entirely under someone else's jurisdiction. Chaz hates Homestuck and even commented on how there may be a problem involving the fandom crowding out other people who have already scheduled gatherings in specific areas like the patio.

If anything, this is just an unfortunate coincidence.

She made a music video. I only know this because a Facebook friend commented on her linking it from her page... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5o30kw8Zji0

I haven't watched it yet and, honestly, I'm afraid too. Her ego might make my eyes bleed.

>>6487379
Actually Chaz was openly looking for information on Hussie on the animecons forum. A good probability he was considering it at one point, but realized it would be to much for the con.

>>6487384
Plus, Hussie has openly admitted that he'll never attend an anime con as a guest since his product is western art and he doesn't want to intermingle the two, potentially taking away from the true spirit of the convention.

>>6487388
That's really considerate of him actually. Good Guy Hussie.

I didn't know her, but she's gorgeous and (as far as I can see) her cosplay looks pretty neat. Except for all the heavy make up going on, but that doesn't ruin it all, at all.

>>6487267
Can someone explain to me why doesn't she work for Disney? She has that one kiddie Disney princess party thing and she cosplays all the princesses, and I assume from this she has a decent sized fan base.

What happened?

>>6487382
That note at 2.51, jesus fuck she's killed her voice and the song so much in this video

I seriously don't get cgl's beef with her. I liked the video and she can sing just fine. She sounds a LOT like the original singer.

cgl, your green is showing.

>>6487491
she's a bit too old now, but even when she wasn't, she was too short for anything but the fairies and alice.

she may have even got those parts if she hadn't turned up to the auditions like a nutter, you're supposed to go natural but I hear she didn't do that. and once you have the rep of being a bit of a mental fan girl you got no luck.

that video was just awful. what was up with the weird Ariel costume the the half green weave?

JoEllen from Firefly Path created the costumes, i expected more.

>>6487504
*With the

>thinly veiled drama thread to make harsh comments about a woman enjoying her hobby
>urgh, shes so old and short! Her makeup is horrible! I hate her face and I'm not going to explain whhhhy....

Jesus, you women are bitter. Give it a rest already and do something productive.

>>6487492
I thought you were exaggerating at first, but that note...

It's not a badly sung song at all but you can tell that she forced herself a little too much on some parts. if she cut back and let the voice flow naturally it would have been nicer.

>>6487491
She's too short for the princesses. Also, she showed up to her multiple auditions with her "Ariel hair," layers and layers of heavy make-up like she wears for her princess parties, and a general try-hard attitude. All no-nos for face character auditions. It's also the reason she's looked down upon when she goes to Disneyland. It's one thing to be a faux-princess, but another to be one of.... THOSE... faux princesses.

I wouldn't care that she runs a faux-princess party service except she lies to her employees and clients about True Enchantment being affiliated with Disney on occasion.

>>6487507
fuck you this is /cgl/
if you don't like it, hide the thread and move on

I like her face, but I feel like she lacks the innocent features that Ariel has.

>>6487510
Some people just push their voices where they don't go, or they don't stretch it well enough. You need a good 15 minutes of stretch every day to build up your range.

>>6487510
Listening to her Youtube covers, she stretches her voice a lot. She tries to emulate the original singers but her voice isn't nearly as full or rich or strong, so it comes across very nasally and pushed and--most unfortunate of all!--devoid of emotion. What a cold rendition of Part of That World.

>>6487523
I feel like a lot of the disconnect is with her heavy, heavy make-up. Look at the better face characters at the Disney parks--now obviously they wear thick make-up because you need stage make-up to last for a shift, but her make-up is waaaaaay too harsh. If she went for softer reds and pinks, lighter mascara, more natural eyeliner, etc, she would look so much better.

Ok, I just watched the broadway version of Part of That World and, well, my opinion has changed. The poor girl version is just sad.

How has she not been sued by Disney yet? If they'll freak out over kindergartens with Disney characters painted on the walls, how is her "affiliated" costume business okay?

>>6487382
Ugh, those retarded arm movements, her nauseatingly exaggerated facial expressions... somebody has a serious case of Theatre Kid Syndrome.
Also, I'm not normally one to rag on people wearing heavy makeup, but wow, caking that shit on is really doing her no favours, especially the red lipstick she's so fond of. She looks so much less crazy with makeup like in pic related.

>>6487537
When you keep the names of the character in the public domain (Like Beauty instead of Belle, or Mermaid Princess instead of Ariel) and make your costumes a little bit different, they can't do anything about it. I'm surprised that she's been able to do that though. She's probably gotten many warnings.

>>6487519
Does she? I always wondered how that business was running. She's not exactly hiding her endeavours.

I can see though where the auditions thing ended up in a blunder.

>>6487539
less crazy but more housewife-y

>>6487537
There are hundreds if not thousands of faux Disney character party services out there. Disney looks the other way most of the time because there are so many. The smart companies toe the line ("Frog Princess," not "Tiana" "Little Mermaid," not "Ariel," etc, basically 'as close to Disney as legally possible') and, as another party princess once speculated, because faux princess parties are a great way for Disney to sell oodles of official party merchandise (You can't have a Rapunzel party without Rapunzel plates, napkins, etc). There have been companies which received cease&desist notices for blatantly infringing on copyright.

I do think Traci needs to be more careful, though, because some of her employee have said in public that they are affiliated with Disney, such as saying that Traci told them Disney invited them to be official princesses at D23 before (when in fact, they were just regular cosplayers) -- which could land her in hot water.

>>6487519

>>6487546
Yeah who in the hell is that guy supposed to be? (It looks like Traci did his make-up, too.)
