Puppet and dummies.

on theses notes we are going to study a ventriloquist puppet and a ventriloquist dummy. a ventriloquist puppet is usually made of soft material, they can be in image of an animal or a human. a ventriloquist dummy or doll is usually made from a hard material such as wood, plastic, fiberglass,etc. a ventriloquist puppet is easier to make than a ventriloquist doll or dummy, basically a sock puppet would be the easiest way to make a puppet, a hand 🧤 glove can be made into a ventriloquist puppet. as long as the material can be created with a moving mouth,then so be it can be used as a ventriloquist puppet. The ventriloquist doll or dummy are not as easy to make, this is why they cost more money than the ventriloquist puppet, a ventriloquist puppet can be made in hours but a ventriloquist doll or dummy will take time. What is the difference between a ventriloquist doll or dummy? body size is the difference but you can take a ventriloquist dummy head and put it on a ventriloquist doll body and still have a ventriloquist dummy. A ventriloquist doll size is from 20 inches to 30 inches, the ventriloquist dummy size start from 35 inches and up, the 5 inches between are judgement inches,this means the image or appearance of the figure, it could be a doll or a dummy,as I mentioned earlier you can put a ventriloquist dummy head on a smaller body to travel and still have a ventriloquist dummy, also a smaller body use less space inside the ventriloquist travel trunk, so yes you can put a 42 inch ventriloquist dummy head on a 32, 33, 35, inch body,why do this? for many reasons, and one of those reasons would be because maybe a ventriloquist can only afford to buy the head, and not the full ventriloquist dummy, after buying the ventriloquist dummy head the body will be very affordable but remember even though the body cost less than the ventriloquist dummy head,the head and body must match, meaning you don’t want a giant head on a tiny body and also remember the body may be small but the head should be able to rest on it, meaning the head should not be too heavy for the body, simply because you want to be able for your ventriloquist figure to sit down on its own.
