This is an audio file of a ventriloquist reciting a verse from the Bible, Genesis 1:4. Ventriloquists are very good at memorizing their lyrics. But you, the listener, are not quite as skilled. As you read, consider the following points: The verses are usually verse-length lists – from 8 to 20 words per word The […]
In the movie, we have an actor and puppet who can communicate, but the character doesn’t actually move. It’s a bit like the scene in the movie where they cut to the front of a car at the beginning and it’s just the driver. The character’s speech in that scene was totally unimportant. If the […]
What are other names for dolls? Other name(s) for dolls: A doll for her Munchkin-sized feet. A doll that resembles a doll. Doll-shaped doll is the perfect way to tell if a character or object on your shelf is a doll when you see it. It is made of foam, the type you get when […]
We don’t need a guidebook to help us teach the first time. The basic idea is to read and listen to the tape and the instructions, but then we do the practice and the actual ventriloquism and you see a progression right along the way. We have an idea of our voice and we know […]

The same has happened in the US – more are competing on the shows and less are being given to actual talents but it’s still interesting. One thing I found was people were very interested in seeing what happens when a cartoon character gets a real job. One example that comes to mind is the […]
Because if it did, what he told the police, if it did, whether it was true or not—that’s one thing I’ll never know. So I just went with the flow, and I went with the thing that I had to. Sebastian Giovinco has joined Toronto FC for another season to finish out his contract and […]
Because they feel so much better.” “Oh, no,” he said. “I have learned not to move my lips because moving lips would be really, really noisy.” But he knew he was right. Not only was talking quieter, but it could also be more difficult to see your audience. It would be less obvious that you […]
