For the Love of Cosplay: Heather Waters of Diablo Sound

9/21/2018

We like to think we have a fun and inclusive company culture here at Diablo Sound, which includes a lot of board games and “nerd culture.” We’re very proud of our employees and take a genuine interest in their interests. One employee in particular - Heather Waters - had great success in this year’s San Diego Comic-Con Masquerade, so we had to share her passion for cosplay with you. Enjoy.

How long have you been cosplaying?

For about 3 years officially. I had worn costumes to Cons before ever realizing it was a thing. I think the first costume I ever wore was a bunch of clothes I threw on - with a cloak and lightsabers from Target - and called myself a Sith.

If we count when I first decided to cosplay - after officially finding out it was a thing - then my first costume was a Poison Ivy-inspired 1950s dress that I co-designed with a friend who also made it for me. I didn’t yet know how to sew so I was relying on others to help at first. The first costume I sewed for myself was Kitty Pryde or “ShadowCat” from X-Men.

Why do you cosplay? That is, what got you into it, and do you do it for yourself, or for others?

It’s literally socially-approved year round dress up for adults, what’s not to love? But no, really, I have always thought the idea of being able to re-create and dress up as my favorite characters was awesome. I love the craftiness of it. It has helped me build so many new skills sets. I do this as a hobby; I’m not setting out to become a famous Cosplayer or anything. I do it because I enjoy creating something.

2017 is over, and everyone here at Diablo Sound has a lot to be grateful for. It has been a very satisfying year for us, and if you don't mind, we'd like to share a few of our success stories with you.

Diablo Sound has been an integral part of Universal Studios Hollywood Halloween Horror Nights since 2005, and this year was no different. Our company was responsible for audio content and system design, show control design and implementation, and installation and operation of all mazes and the backlot Terror Tram. We also managed all audio for events on the Five Towers Stage at Universal Citywalk, and provided mix engineering services for Margaritaville.
