Join Mica Burton for a spotlight Q&A session. Burton is a cosplayer, actress, YouTuber, streamer and staff member at Rooster Teeth Productions currently working as an editor, recurring co-host and head of streaming at Achievement Hunter who edits and runs their live streams. Mica Burton has been cosplaying since early 2007, learning how to sew from her grandmother before she discovered that dressing up as her favorite characters could be a hobby. But before conventions were even on her radar, she had been watching anime and playing video games for as long as she can remember—even sporting head-to-toe Tekken merchandise at age 4. Her love of all things nerdy culminated in landing a job with the popular internet entertainment company Rooster Teeth, giving her the opportunity to be on-screen talent while developing her cosplay skills with the support of her coworkers and friends. Mica has had the opportunity to travel to conventions all across North America, sharing her love of cosplay with fans and fellow artists—whether it be guesting or attending for fun. Through speaking at conventions and continuing to strengthen her craft, Mica hopes to bring more diversity, acceptance, and positivity to the cosplay community, knowing that cosplay is where some of the greatest familial bonds can be formed.
