Telephone and Tayerr Goof Off Before a Panel - AnthroCon 2017

The lady running the "Fursuit Acting 101" panel was running late. While we were waiting, Telephone and Tayerr showed up. Knowing that shenanigans were about to ensue, I did what any sensible person would have done. I filmed it.

For those who are new to my channel, welcome! This video is not really the norm for me; it was just kind of a filler video. Apparently it blew up. Which is great! So, feel free to take a look at some of my other content and see what you like. =)

FAQ:

What is all this?
AnthroCon is a "furry" convention, which is a convention for people who are fans of cartoon animals. Some people, like those depicted in the video, choose to dress up as cartoon animals, wearing costumes called fursuits. These "fursuit performers" create a character with their costume, usually for entertaining those around them. It's like a combination between cosplay and improv performance. It's a lot of fun to watch, and I was very fortunate to be able to capture these two skilled performers practicing their craft.

Who are these fursuiters?
The squeaky brown one is Telephone, the green and black one is Tayerr.

How can I become a furry?
Being a furry is not a "club" or an organization that you join. And you don't need to do anything special in order to become a furry. You DEFINITELY don't need to own a fursuit to be a furry (75% of furries don't have a fursuit). A furry is simply someone who enjoys cartoon animals. So, if you like cartoon animals, and you feel like you relate to the furry community, then congratulations: you're a furry. It's as simple as that.

How is Telephone making those noises?
Ino89777, the performer who created Telephone, uses a custom-made squeaker made from a blend of (I think) 5 different bird calls.

Where can I get a suit like these?
You can buy a pre-made one via sites like The Dealer's Den or eBay, or you can get one custom-made by a fursuit maker (a freelance costume creator). You can find fursuit makers on FurAffinity, Tumblr, Twitter, DeviantArt, or Etsy. However, you can't get a Telephone or a Tayerr suit; every fursuit is unique, and the suit owners are very particular about who can use their characters.

Why does Tayerr have a white ring around their nose? I thought only Telephone could have that.
The ring around the nose is only a rule for Dutch Angel Dragons. Tayerr is not a Dutch Angel Dragon, so it doesn't matter.
