CHOOSE A AUDIENCE.

a ventriloquist you will be on stage live in front of an audience because the art of ventriloquism is theater 🎭 but times have changed since vaudeville, understand radio created another way to perform as a ventriloquist. In these notes on choose an audience we will take notes and study on the ventriloquist career based on the audience business…when I first started entertaining as a ventriloquist, I was in middle school,I really wanted to become a night club entertainer and I was too young but I didn’t give up hope,in middle school one day me and my friend Marcel was walking pass a neighborhood night club and the up in age owner was out in the parking lot fussing to himself about the customers from last night leaving beer bottles and trash on the ground of the parking lot “if theses m-f-er!..n-words! think I am going to be cleaning up after them every mother F-N night they got another thing coming!” so Marcel and I quickly approach the elderly owner and slowly, gently take the broom and large garbage can from his hands, the owner look at me and Marcel,you guys want a job,we both said yes! we will clean the parking lot for you, the night club owner said when you guys are done come inside the club and see me, me and Marcel cleaned the night club parking lot and trash and wash dishes, etc,for quite some time, we’re about grade eight in middle.. I was going to tell the night club owner I was a ventriloquist but Marcel told him before I did, the club owner let me the middle school ventriloquist entertain during happy hour..it was a dream come true!!.. today I am a adult entertainer, even though I have entertained in front all audiences,I really enjoy the adult material that I use..the notes we take are based on just that content and material.

(Children audience or kid show business). being a kid show entertainer is very lucrative and it will be a long lasting career of many generations. my thing about being a kid show entertainer is that it effects your personal life off and on stage,this means no smoking, no drinking alcohol and watch the words that come out your mouth on stage and off stage, and being a role model and always setting to be a good person and you’re a open book for society..you will make a lot of money but that’s pretty much it.

______________________________________________ (Adults audience). if you are in the comedy clubs, nightclub, ship liner or shore liner boat, bars or concert halls you are a adult entertainer.being a ventriloquist in the adult entertainment venue is more freedom with in creating material and content, it’s a relaxing environment for an artist, being a adult entertainer is more business than the show, making the deals and networking to get the show done. in my opinion being a adult entertainer is real show business not like the children entertainer, it’s just my point of view of my experience, when I was a ventriloquist entertainer for kid shows it was mostly based on marketing and advertising, when I went into the adult entertainer ventriloquist business I had to get out and make deals,I had to audition,I had to have a profile file and I did self promotion…. I am a writer first then a ventriloquist but I am a ventriloquist first, confusing? let me explain. before I became a ventriloquist I would write short stories.. poetry and jokes..I had a small Manuel script company for my writing, I’d send my material to publishers and also back in the day they had theses places that pay for your material and there were also contests for writers to enter for cash and prizes I was in elementary School working on becoming a successful writer then in middle School I had found the art of ventriloquism and added it to my writing company and it’s been a match made in heaven ever since,the point is, I am a adult entertainer and I can’t write a kid joke, when I was a writer in elementary school my writing was very advanced, how can a ten year old boy write such controversy, so it’s much better if the words on paper can come to life then the reader can see for themselves that the writing is not very controversial, that’s why I became a ventriloquist so my imagination can be seen in the eyes of make believe… there’s nothing real here,only my imagination. being a adult entertainer your audience age level is on the same level as yours so there’s a common ground, if you tell a joke the joke is understandable, if you sing a song or poetry the audience can relate.

CHURCH ENTERTAINER ______________________________________________being a ventriloquist for charity events or fund raising can be fun and tiresome, I did church shows,and well, let me just say easy breezy, so if you’re looking for a simple gig try the charity events,do you get paid? yes, and no some charity events hire you, meaning they want you to raise money,they want you to get people to come to the charity events or party, your job is to get the crowd in a good mood to donate to the cause, as in help dogs that are blind in one eye see with two, just an example..the church entertainer is also in the church nursery, this is Sunday school, when the parents are in church you and your ventriloquist puppet entertain the children with songs and bible stories,do you get paid? as a staff member yes, other than that you will be donating your ventriloquist talent to the church. ______________________________________________ (Family and friends). The family and friends audience is basically for the amateur or the beginner ventriloquist, the family and friends shows are family holidays, friends birthday parties, family reunions, family weddings, friends Sweet sixteen celebrations and stuff like that, theses audience members are people that the ventriloquist is comfortable with, theses members are audience members that the ventriloquist practice on before stepping out in front of a real audience full of strangers and unfamiliar faces. for the ventriloquist that choose the family and friends audience as the base audience,this means the chosen audience,it is possible to make it a career, here we will take notes on making a ventriloquist career with the family and friends audience… first of all you must understand amateur versus none amateur,when you make this decision to make the family and friends shows your base audience the decision you’re making is no more free shows for best friends or mamma or uncle,no one!..next steps is what is the difference between the family and friends shows and the outside the family and friends circle, this is what you need to understand is that your family and friends audience is all you as a career, you will work for yourself, not for a manager or agent or night club owner,etc. If you choose the family and friends audience for your ventriloquist career this means you are strictly private, being private means just that..why is this writing so edgy, because these notes need to be taken seriously because now money is involved and you are now entering into the business world of show business.. your ventriloquist career for family and friends audience should be for members only, when you have a membership it will exclude from being in public view. next is turn your basement in to a stage or make your car garage into a stage, make sure where ever you decide to build your ventriloquist theater stage you have no windows..now here is the most important thing,why would family and friends start paying to see your ventriloquist show in your basement or garage, why should they become a member of your ventriloquist business career, what is so hot about your ventriloquist act that it’s so private the public can’t see it, you made your backyard into a ventriloquist theater, why would your best friend tell his family and friends about your backyard boogie…… The bottom line is this, for years you entertained your family for free, for years you shared everything with your friends,now that you have your very own ventriloquist theater in your basement or garage, ect..now we gotta pay money!!!!…you need to create a pretty good ventriloquist act,now that I think about it, this might be a hard act to sell but anything is possible.. check out the notes and go start your ventriloquist career with the family and friends audience. … when you choose to start charging your family and friends to watch your ventriloquist act or when your family and friends become your “fans” here are ways for your family and friends audience to pay you..#1.go fund me…#2. fans only page…#3.cash app ..#4. gift cards…the family and friends audience can be a very good show business money maker if you learn how to market your family and friends audience,making your family and friends audience your customers will take some education in business but you can study the strippers/striptease/strip show business or live dis jockey music/music dj business to get some knowledge on how to prepare for a family and friends audience business.some bartenders hire themselves out for private shows so maybe you can get some knowledge from bartenders even though they are licensed and have permits they can still give you information on going private,no doubt about the family and friends audience for a fee is for sure private shows…bachelor party are very private and will give you some ideas on the family and friends audience as a business, “show business” a bachelor party is family and friends celebrating together, it would be a good example for a study if you have no idea of running a family and friends audience business, simply put the bachelor party is a wonderful study for the family and friends audience business… remember this, when you begin to think about growing your family and friends audience business it should be by word of mouth and in secret, theses are private shows and they are always always always always closed to the public.
