My best suggestion is look around on here! Look and Listen because this place is great! Also when you do anything annimate if you move. Move big Cartoon like movements. The most important thing is HAVE FUN!

Hey, Voice, welcome, from a fellow "Iowegien" (from Newton originally). I sure wish there'd been more clowns in Iowa when I lived there!

RD's right about the great props, but if you're looking them up online, they will be easier to find as "Rocco's D'Lites" or just D'Lites.

D'Lites are wonderful things, so many things you can do with them, so many ways to get into trouble with them, too (lol).

They are usually about $20 for a single and about $30 for a pair.

They come in red, blue, white, green, gold, and color changing. Red is the easiest to see in different lighting situations, but white is also pretty easy to see.

Good luck and have fun!
