ventriloquist day jobs. J.O.B.=just over broke (don’t quit your day job)

as a ventriloquist you might need to get a real job in the real world to keep a roof over your head and food on the table. just because a ventriloquist has responsibilities is not the end of the ventriloquist career, no! There’s jobs that can help the ventriloquist career, here are some:

Driving jobs, if you get a driving job such as a Uber or taxi cab,you meet passengers every day those passengers can take a look at your business cards, fliers,etc in the back seat of your vehicle,they can listen to your show on your audio system, instead of you turning on the car radio,turn on your show, entertain your passengers with your ventriloquist show demo,but don’t be pushy if they choose something else let them have what they choose and there will be a passenger that choose your ventriloquist show,this is what you want,if you have to be pushy then it’s not going to be good for your ventriloquist business, you will get yes and no,the no you let go and the yes you keep in mind,maybe give a free t-shirt to wear with your name on it to a yes passenger,the passenger get a free t-shirt and you my friend get a walking billboard, I think a Lyft or Uber or taxi driver job is a very good job to have for a ventriloquist, your audience is in your back seat,make your back seat a comfort setting to build up your audience, while you drive them to their destination,I am sure people have smartphones but it’s the same old same old but now they have a show that they have never seen and heard before. It’s a good way to quickly demonstrate your ventriloquist act and very good way for self promotion,if you are doing a show at a comedy club don’t be afraid to give your passengers free tickets to the show,free tickets? yes when the club owner see people coming to see your ventriloquist act the club owner will be happy..

Wedding store: if you work in a store where they sell wedding dresses and things to do with weddings, it’s a good opportunity to get your ventriloquist act booked to be the entertainer at the wedding. You may be the cashier or the person that make the dress,it still give you a chance to ask if they would like entertainment for the wedding and hand them your business card if they say yes but always ask first,in a conversation setting only remember you are a employee on company time and they are customers, you are a ventriloquist I am sure you can create small talk or chit chat to get your ventriloquist act mentioned for wedding entertainment.

Truck driver: being a truck driver that travel from state to state is very good for a amateur ventriloquist,Why? because you get to travel, now I would say this would be good for the adults because you get to hit the comedy clubs, the night clubs and bars.. when you visit a night club go get the contact information on your down time, and if they have a open mic night,go! Grab your ventriloquist partner and get on every stage that you get on, hand out business cards every where your truck take you, when you get back home,make phone calls to all the places you visit and business people you met. the truck driving is a good job for networking and free travel, understand business people travel for a living so maybe you might want to talk to some business people about doing business as a travel person to get some notes from them.I think if you are a ventriloquist and your job is traveling that’s a very good thing, let’s say you’re a ventriloquist and your job is flight attendant,that means you get to fly and do your ventriloquist act in different countries,the smart thing to do is advertising your ventriloquist act social media in those countries that you fly to then in your homeland on your day off do shows, this is planting a seed of growth.
