selfpromoting Ventriloquist

on these workshop notes we are going to mention selfpromoting.

some people look down on selfpromoting and some say it’s a shameful thing to do but let’s take a look at two of the people that used selfpromoting, first let’s mention Howard Stern and second let’s mention Kim Kardashian and I also want to mention my company the royal kingdom presents production company has a selfpromoting studio. In my view of promoting your self it’s a good thing not a bad thing..you become a better business person of your product and your product is your Ventriloquist act.. so I say put your business phone number on your T-shirt and wear that T-shirt every where you go.. I remember a Ventriloquist that would take his puppet on the subway train to entertain the passengers riding on the subway, this selfpromoting Ventriloquist went from doing shows on the subway train to many television shows such as with Hollywood celebrities stars like Steve Harvey, the Ventriloquist character is very popular the character name is Cindy hot chocolate.. using social media should not be your main promoting tool, when you are selfpromoting your Ventriloquist career you want to make some noise and drop some jaws, you want to do something that is jaw dropping at the right place at the right time, the perfect opportunity can set your Ventriloquist career off like a rocket 🚀.. you see selfpromoters running on the baseball field during the big game sometime, knowing that they are going to be arrested or kicked out the ballpark but look at all the advertising and views that they have received for that short moment..as a ventriloquist you want to selfpromote wisely, you don’t want to be hated you want to gain more..more not less..but? sometimes the hate thing just might work in your favor…so think about what you are going to do before you do it..I think a Ventriloquist interrupting a weather forecast news person doing the weather live on location would be pretty good for publicity, a Ventriloquist figure asking the weather girl where’s the nearest Walmart or the Ventriloquist dummy just standing in back ground waving at the camera, yes that would be selfpromoting and some of the weather reporters might even chat with you and your character live on camera, you never know when you are in the right place at the right time, yes I ‘v seen news reporters on a location let people give a shout-out live on camera.. this is why I say you want more not less, don’t be rude, I mean yes sometimes selfpromoting is rude but try to get in smoothly and out smoothly but if you need to be rude to promote “your” product then be a gentle rude, but please make being rude a very last option or decision, some times being a selfpromoter you need to shove the product down people throats… What is the purpose of selfpromoting? the purpose is to grow your numbers to boost your own Ventriloquist career, to be seen, to be heard, a real easy way to selfpromote these days is becoming a troll on a celebrity or politician social media, kick up some noise in the comment sections such as the catch me out side girl.. as a ventriloquist selfpromoting I think you really want to brain storm on hitting and quitting, so the secret is to go viral and then lay low because what you want is more not less, watching your numbers go up on social media is going to be amazing but that’s not the point, your brand is the point, your product is the point, hit and get out the way,let it ride for a couple of weeks then resurface or return back to the public eyes.. going viral on social media can make you or break you this is why you need to hit the viral mark pack your bags and go into hiding..when you return back in public your product will be known to more people without questioning you, if you do the opposite your product may be damaged so throw the rotten egg in the classroom and go on vacation, when you return from vacation, they’ll remember your rotten egg and your product will have been removed from being damaged,can you understand that, I tried to explain it as best as I could… let’s try it this way going viral on social media is not a small thing, it could be permanent and it’s not just one location it is worldwide, the world wide web, =www= one photo of you can go viral, what ever you come up with in your brain storming remember to get out the way, let viral carry your product, and then return to the public after the viral has settled down, that is a good way to selfpromote your Ventriloquist career “going viral” and trust me I have personally been in a viral situation..I know the effects of it.

on the subject of going viral…mae west was a very popular actress during the radio days, she appeared on a Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy show where she really pushed the envelope, well, you can say that episode went radio viral, Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy went into hiding and mae west was banned from radio.

A Ventriloquist dummy holding up the lines at the airport will get you negative or positive views but we are not interested in views, we are interested in the growth of our product.. when you do a stunt or publicity stunt like this make sure you have all your selfpromoting material ready such as your Ventriloquist character wearing your T-shirt 👕 or your contact information on your Ventriloquist traveling trunk..this stunt is done on purpose so don’t take up to much of the public time.. doing this stunt people are going to take out their smartphones to record and take pictures of you and your character holding up the line.. you want reaction not interaction, pretending to be looking for your passport while your Ventriloquist character amuse the people waiting inline or digging through your small luggage bag with your Ventriloquist character looking around outside from inside… Your Ventriloquist character going through security at the airport would be interesting, especially a crowded airport, remember to have your promotional gear ready..it is wise doing public stunts like this, for samples only, a quick selfpromoting gimmick then move on.. when you get to the ticket counter, you check your pockets “where did I put my wallet” turn to the people behind you waiting in line, to apologize I am sorry for taking so long, then look in your small luggage bag and your Ventriloquist character stick their head out you push their head down, your Ventriloquist character stick their head up again to look around and you push your Ventriloquist character head back down and say “there’s my wallet”… you can design some of your Ventriloquist figure bodies just for selfpromoting and these bodies are not built for performing on stage.. they can be made of cardboard that is strong enough to support the Ventriloquist figure head, these bodies can be used for display such as sitting your Ventriloquist character in a chair at the airport wearing your T-shirt or a very light weight body for walking around bits and skits or standing in line at the airport.. also be sure you keep in mind when making the selfpromoting Ventriloquist figure bodies “portable” or small or compact or on the go.. a body built for not for performing, keep that in mind.

take advantage of people stuck in their 🚑🚑🚑🚑🚑🚑🚜🚑🚑 cars in traffic, one thing about being stuck in traffic, it’s all over the world. a Ventriloquist selfpromoting in traffic is a wonderful opportunity..I truly believe selfpromoting should be done in the physical, so that the viewing audiences can get the real live product, even if it is for one minute or even less than one minute. . when people are stuck in their cars in traffic you have a captured audience, this is a opportunity to put your money where your mouth is and give out your merchandise “your merchandise” for free, give it away, and it will help you in selfpromoting, give out some good stuff, this is a marketing tool, so when you invest your money in your giveaway items, it’s all about quality and not quantity.. take your income tax refund check and get some selfpromoting items made for good quality give aways, take your government check and get some cheap stuff made for free giveaways..when people are stuck in traffic ask first before you give the item away, because the rude selfpromoting is not a good way when people are stuck in traffic, try to cheer them up, ease their pain, “hello would you like a free T-shirt?” if they say yes gently hand them your free giveaway tshirt and move on, also let them see the item in a sample, like maybe you or your Ventriloquist character wear the T-shirt 👕. what should you put on the tshirts? put anything you like such as a joke or something cute or even a website but I suggest you put you and your character photo on the front and something creative on the back.

selfpromoting can be done by taking out an ad on a billboard along the freeway.. a ad of you and your character on a bus stop bench or even on the bus would be very good, social media companies are always looking for advertisers and advertising on social media is pretty affordable, it’s cheaper than advertising on a freeway billboard… don’t forget about the old school ways of selfpromoting, they still work today, old school ways such as recording your  own advertisement and playing it loud over your car loud 🔊📢 speakers while you drive or park in a shopping center parking lot, play your podcast show loud in your car at the college parking lot with your trunk open full of free T-shirts, with business cards, the old school ways are still usable today such as handing out flyers to random people, or at a public park you can use one of the picnic tables as your display table, then have some folding chairs for people to sit and watch you do a little sample of your Ventriloquist act,you will need a portable p.a. system or sound equipment, public parks are crowded on holidays so a holiday would be a good opportunity to grab a picnic table to setup for selfpromoting and if people show up and start 🪑🪑🪑 sitting in your folding chairs, pass out some sealed treats like a bag of potatoes chips and sealed drinks while they are sitting in the chairs waiting for you to give them a demo show, don’t be a cheap person if people show up to your selfpromoting shows such as this one on a crowded holiday in a public park at a display picnic table, they will see the chairs, the 🎤 microphone,  the sound speakers, the T-shirts,they will be interested in the event out of curiosity and then you will say ” lady and gentlemen boys and girls have a seat and a treat because it’s SHOW TIME!  I have done many selfpromoting at the public park auditoriums but the auditorium is not like a public park picnic table, the auditorium you need to make arrangements with the Park and recreation office..I did many many many selfpromoting at the public library, I also did selfpromoting at the boys and girls club, and other places but I quickly want to mention as a selfpromoting Ventriloquist you really want to keep moving and the public park auditorium or boys and girls clubs take time in planning, the picnic table selfpromoting shows and the public library selfpromoting shows were faster for me, I am just letting you know some situations may take longer than others, so if you can create fast and simple ways in selfpromoting your Ventriloquist career than that would be more fun and enjoyable I think but if you want to chase directors and leave emails, and wait on hold on the phone for along period of time, well, hey, go for it, it’s your Ventriloquist career not mine.

TROLLS 😠 🤣 selfpromoting Ventriloquist “The troll gimmick”

WOW! I remember those days 😁.. I did mention my company has a selfpromoting studio, this studio has equipment to get the job done… “being a troll” WOW! so I mention hate can also work in your favor…I am trying to find the correct way to explain “TROLLING” for selfpromoting purposes because I want you to be successful in using the trolling gimmick, now remember trolling is only for selfpromoting you’re not going to actually become a real troll you just going to use it as a gimmick… always be ready for a backlash and be prepared to go into hiding so that your product do not get damaged.. accept to be banned from platforms so choose your battle grounds wisely, accept to be attacked digitally so protect your equipment, hit and quit, so throw the rotten egg into the room and get out the way, no, trolling is not anything like viral, trolling is being a unexpected visitor or a unwanted visitor, or a party crasher.. if you do it right your in box should receive some messages and your email may just explode! and if you receive a banned from the site then celebrate 🥂.. make sure you get your promoting items for the trolling gimmick ready and all set up so you can be already prepared..remember you want to hit the comment sections good, be rude,be sexy, be loud, and be NASTY!,, and break some of the rules,be sure you read the rules and then do the opposite,make sure the chats and comments are going on at the time of performing your trolling gimmick, remember make some noise and drop some jaws,then get out the way… remember to have your  selfpromoting material ready before the trolling gimmick begin because being seen or heard for one minute is a big deal..

(please understand the trolling gimmick is a gimmick only.. a tool for selfpromoting purposes only…it should only be used very rarely or only once or seasonal if you need this tool, because I want you to understand that you do not want to cause permanent damage to your Ventriloquist career, read this note twice.)
