DON KING VS. HOWARD STERN refereeing Charlie Kirk.(self-promoting business)

well well well, this workshop class might be very controversial…I will need to water it down with a lot of water… this workshop is business theory only and business related only to give the Ventriloquist seeking upper level information…don king is known as one of the worlds greatest promoters mainly a boxer promoting in sports… Howard Stern is recognized as a world famous self-promoter.. Charlie Kirk speech platform style of a self promoter… when mention Charlie Kirk it may raise some eyebrows so let’s be clear and understand this workshop is a study and research of success in self-promoting..as you can see all three individuals mentioned are world famous with success and all that success is based on not MONEY but by promoting their money…wait..I need to be very careful in this writing.

As a Ventriloquist self promoter, you need not worry about the money that you spend on your very own Ventriloquist career today, as a Ventriloquist today is not for TODAY, as a Ventriloquist today self-promoting is for next week, do you understand… The performance you performed today is for the next performance and the next performance and the next performance after that. howard Stern before leaving old radio 📻 for the new satellite 📡🛰️ radio he buy the new devices with his own pocket money to give away to many of his listening audience members bringing the old radio listeners with him to the new radio, I witnessed with my own eyes this self-promoting business tactic, I was hoping to be one of the lucky Howard Stern show listeners to get one the new satellite radio devices for free but I had to purchase the device myself to listen to the Howard Stern radio show, Howard Stern leave old radio because of the f.c.c. complaining about his speech and also f.c.c. fines or something in that nature… don king really knew how to get you to zone in on his message, when don king put a event together you just knew it was going to be “SOMETHING” I witnessed with my own eyes don king promoting career..paypreview got a lot of money from me, and it was worth every cent.. when you self-promoting people will remember your brand and your product so be focus on what you going to represent before the development, this means when you see the name Ventriloquist Otto and George you know what to expect so when you see Charlie Kirk name in print there should be no surprises.. the college campus and the tent/booth is a self promoter set up, on a college campus you as a Ventriloquist have a captive audience, college campuses are all over the world, the college student audiences can grow your Ventriloquist popularity in the world as self-promoting..I have mentioned before when I left the night club entertainment business to go into the comedy clubs I spend a lot of time self-promoting at college campuses to build a audience for my comedy club Ventriloquist career and believe it or not believe it night club audiences are different from comedy club audiences it was like starting over starting from one person to two persons and so on and so on, yes! That’s called building a audience so you self-promote at college campuses hoping to get your numbers up for “followers” “fans” “customers” “groupies” “subscribers” and ect.. yes I did mention “groupies” hey they will for sure be helpful with your self-promoting.

You will need to buy “books” yes actual books written by don king 👑 and Charlie Kirk and Howard Stern.. reading the author writings will be just like sitting face to face.. when a artist writes something themselves it is inspired from their soul so that means author Howard Stern is the mind of Howard Stern.. author don king is the brain 🧠 of don king, author Charlie Kirk is the writer of the material.. to learn how to be successful in this category you have Three of the greatest promoters mindset..my production company has a self promoter section that has these books and writing on file.

I would like to remind you that Howard Stern is a Ventriloquist or I should say practice the art of ventriloquism once upon a time in his life, he has mentioned many times his involvement of the art of ventriloquism.. so as you can see where studying the art of Ventriloquism can lead you.

I suggest that you buy all of Howard Stern writings to learn from one of us before buying writings from the don king or Charlie Kirk..

remember as a self-promoter you need to shove the product down people throats..if you choose to be a self promoter you need to remember the song   “there’s no business like show business”…if you choose to be a self-promoter some people may think of you as a discussing little 🐖 PIG and that’s what you are a stage hog, a 🎤 MIC hog, a selfie 🐷 🐷 🤳 hog.. your favorite words are “look mom no hands” you take no hostages and you take no prisoners, there’s no “I” in the word team but there’s a “M-E”… there’s no skinny pigs and why is that because a 🐷 pig is always HUNGRY!!! hungry for success, hungry for achievements, never satisfied good is not good enough more is more! as a self-promoter you will be a cannibal that eat the competition, there is no competition far as you’re concerned, sing the old classic song “what you can do I can do better” your so called competition will be squilling like a 🐷 PIG when they see you.. greedy greedy greedy is speaking your language.. unfortunately this is the trained mind of the self-promoting business there’s no free lunch 🥛😋🥪 as a self-promoter, remember in the Bible Jesus had to feed the five thousand well someone had to pay to feed the five thousand and that person that paid was a little kid..the truth of the matter is when a self promoter was a infant when mother was breast feeding on one breast the infant self promoter was looking at other mothers, 🍼 🐄 do you understand the concept of the self-promoting business?

Now we should keep in mind the mighty power of self-promotion, it be a fast rise to fame and wealth so it very wise to prepare for that destination before arriving because as you can see for yourself with the three giants mention on this subject… what is the option of not being a 🐖 PIG for self promoter, well I think if you can find a skinny pig or a humble pig you can study them but what is the point in self-promoting if you don’t want to grow or succeed.. let’s say you are working at a job for ten years with no pay increases, no level up in the Job position, no change in title, so you go back to school, right?.. meaning you invest in your career for yourself, you do it on your own.. that is what self-promoting business is not letting anyone stand in your way to get what is yours NO MORE MISTER NICE GUY BUDDY!! so you are a 🐷 HOG! ten years is a decade that’s a long time working for a company with out recognition from the company that you work for..so you eat everything in site including the competition,” help I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” what should you do? Grandma has fallen.. remember you have been down for ten years on the same job has anyone help you up 🤔.. come on it’s sink or swim 🤔.. what would Jesus do? Jesus would take the little kids lunch to feed the five thousand and that will promote his name for over two thousand years… do you understand the concept.

In the beginning I mentioned that this workshop class on self-promoting business would be a little controversial..in the self-promoting business you are putting your money 🤑 where your mouth is and you might be writing with a lot of red ink, you might be gambling to roll the 🎲 dice 🎲🎲 not for a final cash out but to see eye 👁️ to eye in the snake eye with the third eye. It’s you and it’s all you *come stay down here with me look at all the kingdoms of the earth 🌎 that Adam gave to me and I will give to you if you stay down here with me*.

workshop for the singing Ventriloquist. 📒 🖊️

some Ventriloquists are a comedian comedy team, some Ventriloquists are a magician act, believe it or not believe there’s Ventriloquist dance teams and then we all  know of the traditional Ventriloquists in ventriloquism.

This workshop class is for the singing Ventriloquists… It’s a brief note taking class.

If you go to a concert of a singing pop star theses days you get a performance of acting.. that means PRETENDING.. Many years ago when you bought a concert ticket the performer had to WORK WORK WORK, today the performer is not much of a true entertainer for the audience… today’s generation audiences are just happy to be apart of something, to be accepted and included with a group, it’s not that the audience of this generation truly are there at the concert for the artist in concert they’re there because they were told be there.. in other words a time and date is set and the crowd show up, many years ago as a singer you hope for a audience to show up.

Many years ago a singer had to know how to sing, many years ago a singer had to have audience appeal or attraction… Elvis Presley would 😅 💦💦 sweat while performing for an audience on stage.. many years ago a singer like James Brown or Tina Turner gave energetic performances.. when you buy a concert for Tina Turner you didn’t buy the ticket to be accepted, you bought the tickets because of the artist or entertainer…so let’s get down to business..

What is this workshop topic class about today ? it’s about business marketing for today’s audience generation, taking advantage of the music industry strategy.. being a singing artist nowadays it’s not complicated like it was in the pass, today’s audience generation are programmed by master marketing puppeteers, not like in the pass where you actually had to build a audience but the audience today are already sitting manikins waiting to be used for display, such as a 🪧 protest, need people just give a time and place then the manikins arrive.. true story I was in a restaurant eating with someone, the couple sitting a table across from us get a text on their phone 🤳 they get up to leave one of the couples asking questions such as where are we going? what happened? why are we leaving? so me and the person I was with wanted to see what was going on so we followed the couple about three blocks to a crowd of people marching in the streets complaining about the raising cost of food prices ,well, the couple joined the marching in the street to add to the number of the complaining, take notes that the couple leaves a restaurant that they’re eating at to join a marching of people complaining about 🥑 food prices.. when a organization use social media app it is easy for them to use their marketing puppeteers.

When you become a brand name it will be simple for you to manipulate this generation audience.

Today singers they don’t actually sing the songs in their own voices, they lip syncing.. they synchronization with prerecorded soundtracks… and as a Ventriloquist because this workshop is a Ventriloquist workshop so as a Ventriloquist you know lip syncing is the art of ventriloquism..so yes singers today are cashing in using our art of ventriloquism.

If today generation audiences are paying for a “singer” to perform ventriloquism then us Ventriloquists can cash in on this generation also…I seen a famous rapper last week lip syncing to a crowd of her fans…

🐄 💰🐮🐮🐮 🥛 💰💰💰💰 🥛 🪙🪙👛

what you need: social media platform…a boom box.. a CD and a marketing puppeteer.. simple and it’s  🤑🤑💰💰💰💰🤑🤑🤑🤑 yes I did say boom box and I did say “CD” compact disc 📀 yes your songs on CD, playing on a boom box, lip syncing… you can witness for yourself…$$$… there’s no more artist like Michael Jackson, there’s no more Edgar Bergen or three stooges.. this generation audiences is one big group 🤗 HUG… and you can Brianstorm on giving this generation audiences a hug for profit or growth of your Ventriloquist career..if you are a singing Ventriloquist this is your time.

I am not a singing Ventriloquist but I could be  or anyone can be.. because of the audience for entertainment today…I gathered my thoughts 🤔 around this subject for many days, my research shows that when the world shut down for years then reopened again society and people changed.they were lost and confused,in search of the wizard of OZ..I noticed a lot of different things and places have changed after the world shut down……I am overwhelmed by how many popular and famous singing acts successfully uses the art of ventriloquism for profit..so take notes from this workshop, there’s singing acts out there taking your Ventriloquist act 🍞 and 🧈 so if they can take advantage of today generation audiences then you can also get a piece of the 🥧.

A.I. has written some untrue things about me…SO..Let me be clear, I am not bashing singers..in simple words before the world shut down for those three or four years a singer had to put in work..for an example the singer milli vanilli was nailed to the cross ❌ and buried alive for “LIP SYNCING SCAM AND SCANDAL AND HOAXES”so, before you write some 🐂 💩 do your resources first!!..I witnessed milli vanilli career from start to finish there was no social media in those days and the audiences were made of real human beings not manikins and when the fans and audiences found out that milli vanilli was lip syncing,well, maybe you can go witness for yourself if you can find some information on the history of singers milli vanilli career… today singers generation audiences are not the same as my generation audiences, in essence if at age 10 the bank told you no free money here for you then at age 40 the bank says free money for everyone what should you do at age 40, 30 years later? a scandal is a scandal no matter what generation…so.. the truth of the subject here is singers are singers and Ventriloquists are Ventriloquists, the singers today are benefiting from using the art of ventriloquism then why can’t the vent community do the same after all it’s their money that’s being taken away from them.

properganda notes _✍️

what is properganda? Properganda is a promotional tool and advertising to stretch the beliefs of the truth…is properganda a marketing skill, properganda is not marketing it is the very skilled of a sales tactic, it is a build up to a extravaganza of nothing.. it is a desperate scream in the wilderness.

You as a Ventriloquist can use properganda as a selling pitch..no need to speak for properganda because properganda can be done by using visual instead of sound…most politicians use properganda and you being a Ventriloquist need to study how politicians use propaganda for their success..no matter if  it’s politician or Ventriloquist entertainer propaganda is propaganda.

When you advertise your Ventriloquist act using properganda words are very important, you want to use eye catching words to your readers, and you want your properganda to big and loud.. for example “THE FIRST 10 PEOPLE THAT BUY A TICKET TO MY SHOW GET 50% off, what is the properganda?.. if people really want to see your show they believe that they are getting a bargain on a half price ticket so the people hurry to line up to get the 50% off but the 11th and 12th and so on people are late but they are already in line so they stay in line to pay the full price ticket 🎟️  but in reality the 10 there in line are your relatives or employees so actually there is no 50% off your tickets after more than 10 people show up you have met your financial goal for the starting point… another properganda example: your daughter just bought a brand new car for herself, the car is advertised in one of your shows advertisement WIN A BRAND NEW CAR A PRIZE GIVEAWAY! COME SEE VENTRILOQUIST SO AND SO, at your  show you have people put their name and contact information on a card, then you place those cards in a bucket 🪣, you pick a card from the bucket and announce the name that is the winner of the brand new car 🚗 your daughter is so happy to win! You hand her the keys and your daughter drive away in her “brand new car”…the names and contacts in the bucket you use for potential future customers such as selling your merchandise to them or asking for future bookings of your Ventriloquist act…. “PROPERGANDA” a little white 🤥🤍 LIE..the serpent told eve a little white lie in the garden of Eden could be the first properganda used… properganda is not illegal the only thing could be wrong about properganda is that it is a business tool that the wooden puppet name Pinocchio can never get away with.

YOUR PROPERGANDA STAFF?.. wth!!

A PROPERGANDA STAFF may raise some eyebrows because I didn’t know that they existed until I witnessed them for myself.

A properganda staff are a team of professionals that are put together to boost a individual  or a event promoting… In the team #1. a professional ass kisser they’re called the “ass-sistant”.. #2.you have the professional brown noser..#3 the loud mouth.. #4 the yes man or yes person and #5 the glamour doll this person is usually fashion and designer of making everything look GOOD and that also includes a individual…a glamour doll is a self promoter also they are in the fashion and decorators and designer world.

If you haven’t witnessed a properganda staff I will give you a visual of what some seem to be like.. let’s start with #1 the professional ass kisser this person job is to protect the person in charge interest at all “cost” this person is usually the leader  or head of the properganda staff..#2 the professional brown noser you will see in most business environments they are the ass kisser little “bitch” hey! That’s what they call them, I truly apologize but that’s what a brown noser is the ass-sistant little bitch, the brown noser take orders from the professional ass kisser..#3 the loud 🔊 mouth is a person hired because they have the gift of gab, “Gabby” this person is the ultimate propaganda, this person job is to talk it up, let’s say a group of people are standing in line this person job is to stand in line and talk about his boss business, let’s say his boss own a smartphone store, while standing in line the loud mouth says he just bought a brand new smartphone and got two smartphones free!! he takes out the smart phone from his pocket for people to see, the loud mouth might be talking to one friend standing in line with him or #4 the yes person but his voice carries all the information for many people to hear, address of his boss smartphone store, the telephone number of his boss smartphone store, the hours the store open and closed, thing like that, but what’s funny about the loud mouth is he is a human radio commercial..#4 the yes person, well, you wonder 🤔 if properganda is marketing after meeting the yes person, and the answer is no, the yes person is hired by the person in charge because they can charm anyone and sweet talk anyone, they can sweet talk a priest to set his robe on fire, a yes person can get you to say yes to buying or selling anything, they can convince a used car salesman to give them the piece of junk car away for free!most yes people are attracted and educated… #5 the glamour doll, have you ever walked into a office that was nice and clean, a beautiful person wearing stylish clothes walks you in to meet the person in charge, the glamour doll take your seat out for you to sit down, the glamour doll is there in the meeting maybe making coffee or even polishing her nails or she could be standing beside the person in charge to make sure everything is nice and neat and everyone in the room are comfortable, in some other settings a glamour doll is called other titles such as “eye candy” or “pleasure pleasers ” they’re fashion and decorators and escorts but the truth of the matter is all these people are little white professional liers for a purpose and that purpose is called “properganda”                                                           

So you’re sitting at one of theses properganda staff meetings seeing the person in charge yelling at his or her ass-sistant then the ass-sistant turns and yells at the brown noser then the little brown noser turns and yells at the yes person then the yes person turns to yell at the loud mouth and the loud mouth yells at no one… that is the ranks of the properganda staff team and I am very sure the loud mouth can’t wait to move up in the ranks..I do wonder if the glamour doll is part of the ranks, maybe they are the next ass-sistant inline for that position or perhaps the yes person.

A properganda staff is a group of self-promoters that are placed in advertising by someone that hired them to promote the interest of a individual.. this means a business or a person hire five self promoters to advertise their business or their interest with a bigger than life appearance.. it’s not marketing or marketer, it’s promoting advertisement combined, it’s the next level to a self promoters dream.. members of a properganda staff team are experienced in promoting themselves that’s why they are self-promoters, when five self promoters are put on a team for hire the ideas and brainstorming for the person in charge of theses five people can only lead to a successful properganda service.

workshop on how to make your booking 🗓️  📆 calendar 📝 pencil me in.

Welcome to the royal kingdom presents production company workshop! this class will give you information on writing in pencil on your monthly calendar but hopefully you can trace over your in pencil ✏️_____ with 🖋️ ink pen, this class is focusing on filling in blank date spots on the booking calendar.

What is a booking calendar?…a booking calendar is a monthly calendar that you use for your schedule events, your future activities concerning your craft and in this case your craft is the art of ventriloquism..the calendar has your performance dates, your meetings, your appointments, your to do list, your rehearsal times, your practice time, your study time, auditions date, upcoming events, birthday party plans, reminders, paydays, the booking calendar is only for your what when and where information for your Ventriloquism only not for your personal life such as walking your dog or feeding the cat unless you have a side job as a pet sitter to use the funds for your art of ventriloquism.. a booking calendar is not a regular monthly calendar, it is not for normal use.. a booking calendar is your Ventriloquism schedule if you were a dancer then it would be your dance schedule..a booking calendar is a serious notebook for your book keeping and documentation record.. others use booking calendars so for example a talent agent pencil you in for January 1 at 9am for a audition your booking calendar on January 1 should be in pencil “audition 9am for super star talent agency”, the talent agent booking calendar and your booking calendar will say the same on January 1.. if you ever choose to cancel a booking date on your booking calendar it is very important that you do before the booking date arrival, booking calendars are planned and planning, there’s a lot of things that are going on before the booking date,so in other words your words are gold for that booking calendar date so when you cancel it, it may cause a interference with the planning so if you cancel before the booking date maybe the planning can be saved and perhaps you can be bumped up to another date.

During your Ventriloquist practice time have your Ventriloquist partner say: “I have places to go people to see and things to DO!”

Let’s start your calendar not at the beginning of the year but as soon as possible, as soon as you finished reading this sentence go take a look at your monthly calendar then return to this class… when you look at your monthly calendar you may have chores and other responsibilities already scheduled for the days of the week and this is a booking calendar and booking calendars are for HUNGRY!! individuals..the booking calendar is created for opportunities, the booking calendar give you a headstart on the competition in a competing market…but let’s get you something to put on your calendar and the easy way is birthday dates, if family and friends are having birthdays coming up mark that on your calendar so what we want to do is plan for a birthday party for self-promoting opportunities, you are going to give a birthday party show for your family member or your friend now that’s not the plan, the plan is inviting people to the birthday party, you may need to make a investment in putting the birthday party together but your return on your investment will be in self-promoting and hopefully adding to your calendar.. you’re not going to charge any money for the guest at the birthday party, the birthday party give you an opportunity and that’s what a booking calendar is, creating a opportunity.. you will provide good entertainment with your ventriloquism at the birthday party that is the gift to the birthday boy or girl.. your goal is to at least meet someone at the birthday party to pencil in on your calendar… birthdays are 365 days a year and 24 hours a day, the birthday business can be a successful business and it was a very successful business for me as a Ventriloquist.

Your booking calendar is your 🔮 crystal ball it looks at your PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE, it also gives you hope… the booking calendar tells you where you have been and where you hope to go..a booking calendar is also a growth 📈 📉 chart from month to month it keeps records of your activity, it will show you your improvements, it will show you your ❌ cancellations, it will tell you your financial funding, yes if you get a paid show mark it with red ink on your booking calendar putting the amount is up to you but anytime you received money is document in red ink just like you see on the 📈 chart red is going up the chart 📉 and green or blue is going down the chart, yes I write the amount of the payment on my booking calendar because when I look back at last year booking calendar it tells me my show business financial funding growth…this go the same for hobby Ventriloquists or nonprofit entertainer Ventriloquist because you also get paid in tips any type of payment for performing is Red ink, if you don’t want payment of any kind you may use a emoji 💖 heart or 😊 smile on the booking calendar so when you look at the booking calendar you see what you love all over your booking calendar hearts 🥰🥰🥰 and smiles! There may be donations to your Ventriloquist act and even though you don’t want to receive money or payments for your Ventriloquist act if a donation is offered or given to your performance, I deeply advise you not to reject donations, you can always say that you will like to transfer the donation to someone or a organization but don’t reject donations.. donations are not like tips, a donation is giving from the soul so remember the differences in  “payments”- “tips” and “donations”, when you hear the word “donation” to you, be humble… and yes donations are written in red ink on your booking calendar.

Understand the ink colors may have different meaning in the business world for example red ink means financial loss and black meaning good financial gains and blue is the same as it is mention here for the substitute for black ink..the reason for red ink for your booking calendar is so that you see the activity directly so if you choose to use red ink the corporate business way just trace over the red ink with black ink that would be fine but In that case you will be writing in two inks black over red combined with both definition of the business world..but if you choose to only use for your booking calendar then no need to use the red ink the corporate business way, the red ink will be for you to see your booking financial funding information…but it is good to know the original meaning of writing in ink in the business world, red-black-blue ink and yellow highlights.

If you are at a meeting listen for up coming events, my showbusiness manager used to always tell me to keep my ear to the ground..

I want you to know becoming a volunteer of anything is a very wise thing because volunteers are always active and needed..as a volunteer you will be provided with situations to mark on your calendar that you can pencil in.. volunteers travel a lot also and volunteers meet many different people.. you may not understand so let me clarify the volunteer penciling in for your calendar, you are a Ventriloquist so as a Ventriloquist you are a entrepreneur entertainer this means networking is your business and the booking calendar is part of networking also part of self-promoting, let me give you a true story of when I first met real-life self promoters, when I was performing in comedy clubs the comedy clubs always had someone like a talent agent or promoters or producers or showbusiness managers or talent scouts visiting the clubs, they come to watch entertainers performing on stage and if they could use your act they would make deals and offers to you and hand you their business cards, self promoters would have a event coming up but no entertainers so they would go to the comedy clubs to pencil in entertainers for the event schedule.. some entertainers would ride the 🧥 coattails of self promoters because they provide many opportunities.. I hope that true story gives you an idea about the booking calendar.

Your school have many things that you can pencil in on your booking calendar such as school programs, your booking calendar is not only for performing it can also be for improving your skills or talent anything to do with your art of ventriloquism is written in pencil on your calendar.. such as shopping for a outfit for your showbusiness career or a appointment or pencil in to make a phone call or interviews or to practice or rehearsal time.. people places and things are what you want on your booking calendar..if your booking calendar run out of room get another calendar and pencil in more.

When you pencil in on your booking calendar.. on the date of the calendar write over the pencil in with ink if the booking was completed..if not completed leave in pencil and if you like to reset the booking for a later date if the later booking calendar date is completed then write over both dates with ink, if you choose not to complete the booking schedule for that date write a self note about the reason why. Remember the colors: pencil: upcoming, not sure, have not happened but possible…red ink: money, finance, financial, funding… black ink: guaranteed, one hundred percent..blue ink: a secondary to black ink..not first ink, some may and may not accept.. substitute..a note can be in blue ink but not red ink unless it’s a urgent note.. highlight with yellow 🟡 highlights markers is: read first… attention… important details.

Letting your phone ring, let your message box full up, even though your phone is ringing and your message box is full you MUST answer, maybe not right away if you can not but you MUST respond, because you are a business person for fun or profit, you have put in the time and now the returns are arriving.. you may receive a call from a potential customer that has been waiting all year to book you for their birthday party or a self-promoter have a event to pencil you in or a talent manager seen your Ventriloquist act but didn’t have a space for your act but now there’s a spot for your Ventriloquist act.

Always practice and rehearsal is very important for your booking calendar and always be ready to go! yes have a suitcase packed to go because you might get a unexpected opportunity to travel to another country for a big show business career deal.

So that is what a booking calendar is.. self-promoting, networking, meet and greets and keeping a eye on opportunities…they used to say in the old show business days “OPPORTUNITIES KNOCKING, open the door”

ventriloquism MANY FACES DUMMY

A very unique money maker for a money saver and space saver is called ‘many faces’.

A ventriloquist that is skilled in many different voices can use one Ventriloquist dummy for many different characters in one Ventriloquist act.

The Ventriloquist cover the Ventriloquist dummy body with a black sheet where only the Ventriloquist dummy face and head is seen.

Adding different wigs to the Ventriloquist dummy head with changing the dummy voice with a different personality will create many different characters.

A cowboy 🤠 hat can be added to the Ventriloquist dummy head then a southern accent voice can be given for a cowboy personality.

When changing the dummy personality the script should also be changed so that means a cowboy personality should have a cowboy script.

The ‘MANY FACES’is a skit or a bit so changing the Ventriloquist dummy clothing will not be necessary.

Using glasses 🕶️🤓 can also be used to create ‘many faces’ your Ventriloquist dummy can change from a cowboy personality to 😎🆒 cool little dude you can also add a cigarette 😉 🚬 for your cool looking dummy personality.

for boy to girl Earrings can be attached quickly by hanging from both sides of the dummy head with a long haired wig to change to girl dummy. 

A little piece of wig hair can be quickly fasten under dummy 👃 nose to add mustache.

A baseball Cap and with a baseball ⚾🧢 will change the scenery to the subject of baseball. make sure your conversation is based on strictly baseball.

A graduation appearance by adding a graduation cap 🎓 with a degree paper 🗞️ will change the scenery and script.

adding a doctor surgery mask 😷 to your many faces dummy will change the scenery and script, also adding some little hospital props from out of your pocket such as 💊 pills and other small medical items will be a great addition.

One Ventriloquist dummy is used for ‘MANY FACE’ this Ventriloquist skit or bit is not created to replace a Ventriloquist dummy or puppet this is a “short” Ventriloquist routine it is a time filler. It is entertainment for a short appearance a special feature for the Ventriloquist act.

Some show business bookers hire a Ventriloquist not for the full hour, some may ask for five minutes, some may ask a half hour the ‘many faces’ is to add on to the time and no need carry extra equipment because the performance is so short of time.

MANY FACES would be okay for auditions if needed because some auditions are short, some auditions are three minutes, five minutes,etc.

Remember to add humor to the ‘many faces’ and if you like add a song.

Remember to practice before presenting and remember rehearsal rehearsal rehearsal is very important.

Watching one character changing from one character to another is entertaining 🤠.

Ventriloquist act with audio books.

are you in the storyteller business with your ventriloquism? even if you are not adding new 🆕 ideas 💡🤔 for your Ventriloquist act is for the new changes in society. Today there’s books that read to you instead of you reading the book 📖. In this workshop class are some creative ideas to add a brief audio book routine to your Ventriloquist act.

After your audience has listened to the short story on the audio book you and your ventriloquist character or puppet perform a skit based on the story, or you can have your little partner ask questions about the story or you can have lots of comedy with your ventriloquist dummy about the story. Some audio books use famous celebrities voices for the reading of the audio book and there’s many are ventriloquist puppets that are made to look like a particular person such as Michael Jackson or Abraham Lincoln or so and so, Abraham Lincoln audio books will make great entertainment for a ventriloquist using a Abraham Lincoln ventriloquist puppet. While the audiences are listening to the audio book the ventriloquist can also be listening 🎧 or hiding out of view waiting for the audio book to end to enter with the ventriloquist dummy or perhaps pass out business cards to some audience members.

A ventriloquist using audio books with ventriloquism will bring something fresh to storytelling with ventriloquism..I do say reading books with your ventriloquist puppet to your audience is okay today, the audio book with ventriloquism is a new feature for your ventriloquism just a new twist to add.

As a very young ventriloquist I started as a ventriloquist reading story books with my ventriloquist dummy name Sammy to school kids.. ‘STORY TIME’ was a successful self promotion for me as a young ventriloquist..there were no audiobooks back then in those days but if it were I would have been very creative using them, public libraries always had special guests that were storytellers and my ventriloquist act was always booked as special guests, it was amazing seeing my Ventriloquist act name on giant posters inside the public libraries and outside of the public libraries.

the Ventriloquist business

Being a Ventriloquist is being a entertainer, a performer and a artist… when you become a Ventriloquist you are a entertainer first then you are a artist.. being a Ventriloquist is very different from all other entertainers.. being a Ventriloquist is not only for profit but for what ever the artist chooses to use the art of ventriloquism for. being a Ventriloquist give you many titles such as a teacher, a comedian, a singer, a writer, a pastor,a spokesperson, a master of ceremonies and so on and so on… once you have learned the basics of the art of ventriloquism the career begins.

This workshop note is to remind the Ventriloquist that the art of ventriloquism is beyond their career possibilities.

OCTOBER Ventriloquists

In the month of October is a business month for entertainment for Ventriloquists that invest in CREEPY AND SPOOKY shows. It’s the month of Halloween and for some companies Halloween is not for just one day but for the complete month of October… Halloween is a fun celebration for all ages so choose in investing in your audience wisely if you choose to make a profit from your investment…us Ventriloquists should thank the movie studios for making the art of ventriloquism spooky and creepy, audiences have now made owning a doll or owning a actual toy unusual and us Ventriloquists know that puppets and dolls and dummies don’t really talk on their own so as wise business persons us Ventriloquists make that belief a possibility.

Halloween 🎃🎃 is a very successful financial gain in all markets all around the world. The costume business is really booming and the candy business are really booming, the party all night business is a hot selling ticket… Us Ventriloquists got plenty money making moves on Halloween because some people may think the art of ventriloquism is spooky and people on Halloween are looking for SPOOKY SHOWS! us Ventriloquists want to invest in a spooky Halloween show every year because that Halloween holiday show will and can be one of our most profitable all year long.

We are going to have a theme for this Halloween investment workshop and that theme is “BILLY” from the movie “SAW” and this theme location can be anywhere or anyplace because in the SAW movies the puzzle game was at many different locations so if you like to change house or garage into a spooky 🪚 SAW location then that will be fine, there’s many parties on Halloween so many businesses that rent spaces will be expecting some custumers for business and banquet rooms for sure will be available for your spooky creepy SAW SHOW event…if you have not seen the SAW MOVIES you will definitely need to watch for research.

Billy is a Ventriloquist puppet in the SAW MOVIES. Billy is the theme of this Halloween event.

A theme party is a event only for participating persons, unfortunately theme shows are not for the public so that means you would need a guest list or a v.i.p. list or a invite pass or proof of receipt or something in that nature..all participants will look like the theme and that theme is BILLY from the movie “SAW”

I am sure you will create some scary games from the movie “SAW” that your audience can play.

Don’t forget to put on a Ventriloquist act performance with a billy puppet from the movie SAW for guests.. if you don’t own a billy puppet from the movie SAW then you need to purchase one for this event or party it’s just the right thing to do, you’re a Ventriloquist at a theme party or event your audience will be looking for Billy from the movie SAW to tell them spooky stories.

There’s many low price billy puppets from the movie SAW that you can use for once a year and there’s some very expensive billy Ventriloquist figures on the market..shop around you will find a saw movie puppet to fit your budget.. make sure the puppet mouth moves for spooky ghost stories for Halloween.

LET THE GAME BEGIN be created in your games for your billy SAW MOVIE theme party keep in mind that your audience came to the party to be afraid and freaked out. You want to give them a fun but spooky SHOW with the art of ventriloquism.

The billy mask, the billy tricycle, the billy suit, the billy puppet and the billy Ventriloquist figures are still on the market today..Billy is a global famous character.. finding items for this theme should not be that difficult.

If you choose to go public with this event that means it is not a theme party or event..it means audience can wear regular clothing and go to the show anyway they like. So it’s up to you on your audience preference.. yes during the show the Ventriloquist wearing a billy mask riding a tricycle would be awesome!

51-50 cash in on the American tax payer to fund your Ventriloquist career.

Welcome to get crazy money fast!!$$$ what you don’t know can hurt you, here is a true story a family went into a restaurant to eat dinner when the family some how wallet was missing the restaurant manager called the police because the food the family ordered was over a hundred dollars, a mentally ill man with a EBT food stamp card paid for the family bill the mother and the father with their children thank the mentally ill man for saving them from being arrested.. the mentally ill man give them a ride home in his luxury car. The family couldn’t understand by the man appearance and mental state of mind how could he be very successful… if you are a Ventriloquist then you have a image of some people may think is a disability, I surely don’t think so but us Ventriloquists should take advantage of every opportunity leading to society judgement so at the end we whisper “who’s the dummy now”… in the United States of America there are tax payer bills that pay money to the mentally ill, I am not talking about twenty dollars a month, I met a girl that was a Ventriloquist many years ago when I was in college that get a five thousand dollars a month government check for playing the dummy role, yes she was a Ventriloquist, she sit on her front porch of her home with her very expensive Ventriloquist dummy to practice and for rehearsal she told me all she was doing was practice and rehearsal of her professional Ventriloquist act, she was college educated but what the neighbors seen with their judgemental eyes was the opposite, the Ventriloquist received a unannounced visit to her home from the medical service department, the neighbors made reports to law enforcement causing many welfare visits to her house..after the Ventriloquist realize what was going on she began to play the dummy role and soon a doctor was handing her medication and a five thousand dollars government check, she keep the five thousand dollars check and trash the medication, to continue to receive a raise on her tax payer government check she sometimes practice and rehearsal  her Ventriloquist act in her doctor’s office, sometimes she includes the medical doctor staff in her rehearsal. This 51-50 is called a disability so being a Ventriloquist may qualify.. in the 51-50 your housing arrangement is sometimes included. I was shocked when she told me about this situation, she invested her tax payer government checks into her show business career she said the government said if she get a real job in the real world it will not effect her government checks because they look at it as getting better mentally but she didn’t need to get a real job in the real world because every year  the tax payers give her a pay raise..she had no idea about the 51-50 government check.. maybe now I understand why things are the way that they are today because people are pretending to be mentally ill for a five thousand dollars pay check and free housing.. she showed me a few of her government tax payer 51-50 checks..I asked her how long is this program she said she’s set for life as long as she keep practicing her Ventriloquist act on her front porch for her nextdoor neighbors to watch.

Here we accidentally fall into a situation because of society misunderstanding and judgement.. should the family in the restaurant be arrested for loosing their money or wallet putting them in a situation where they can’t pay for the food, should a stranger playing the dummy role pay for their food with their money that he owns.. the art of ventriloquism is a unbelievable art I tell you the truth after the Ventriloquist told me her story I was upset so I put my Ventriloquist dummy in a Ventriloquist trunk I went downtown to the health department to apply for the 51-50, I was interviewed in a private room with some kind of doctors, in the interview I practice and rehearsal with my Ventriloquist dummy a couple weeks later I received a 51-50 tax payer government check in my mail box, I was really angry, it wasn’t five thousand dollars but it was decent amount the reason  my Ventriloquist friend get five thousand dollars is because every year the amount go up, I cancelled the request and returned the check….true story it’s real I witnessed for myself.

This workshop is to inform Ventriloquists that there are cash money grab opportunities in the United States of America that tax payers give away for free. Not just for Ventriloquists, the Ventriloquist part is judgement by some people but anyone can play the dummy and get paid for it.

______________

If you can get a family member such as a under age cousin or your friend children to pretend to be sad and constantly crying the American tax payer will write you a check as the guardian, it’s part of the 51-50 but for a child..in this case you will be the caretaker for the child of the family or your friend children because you brought the child into the mental health facility and not the parents.. when your cousin or friend children go in for the interview if you drop a coin on the floor your cousin or friend children will start crying, when the interviewer ask you and your cousin questions the response is always sad, the tax payers have a money fund for 51-50 children but as the guardian you receive the check for the child..the tax payer also will give you money to buy clothing for the child, there’s also free rent provided for the guardian and the child, transportation is by request this means if the request a truck for the child transportation then the American tax payer will buy the child a truck. anxiety and depression are very important concerns of tax payers in children.

There’s a student program that American tax payers give to students with learning disabilities from other countries, this one is 51-50 for a student that is unable to graduate from any grade in their own country.. the American tax payer will write you a check to house and educate the student plus buy meals.. there’s no guarantees that the out of country students will become intelligent enough to graduate from a school in the United States but it doesn’t effect your funding from the tax payers.. this bill is from age 10 to 25.

So as you can see there’s a lot of money available for you to cash in on from the American tax payer..

there’s another one for mail order brides if you are an American citizen the American tax payer will pay for green card seekers, the American citizen receive a head of house hold status payment from the American tax payer for having a mail order bride or groom from another country, even though it’s under the mail order bride it also includes everybody bride or groom.. the American tax payer will pay the head of house hold green card seekers up to five years of marriage,two and ahalf years without green card and two and ahalf years after receiving green card, to continue receiving payment the American citizen divorce the green card holder then get another Mail order bride or groom you only need to live under the same roof for two and ahalf years then the green card seekers will receive their green card after that they can go live with someone else but has to stay married to the American citizen for two and ahalf years to continue receiving payment from the American tax payer after five years get divorce and get another Mail order groom or bride to keep getting paid..no, there’s no need to worry about the American tax payer asking questions about your divorce you can have four divorces of mail order bride or grooms that is twenty years of free money, someone told me they had Three mail order grooms he divorced three times back to back and the American tax payers didn’t ask any questions they just kept sending him money.. you may think the mail order bride Green card seekers funding is not that much money from the American tax payer so if I tell you how much you will get paid your head will explode, I will also mention you will also receive a tax return for your green card seekers household status, this means you don’t pay taxes on the payment that you received for marriage to a mail order bride or groom but you receive a yearly return bonus pay check.

If you are ever looking for financial gains remember that the American tax payer can be and will be your financial partner with know questions asked.. no need to worry these programs such as the 51-50 and this green card seekers mail order bride are legal.

Here we dig for 🪙 gold and found it in the American tax payer pockets.

When traveling to United States there are many government assistant programs for none citizens this means if you are a traveling Ventriloquist entertainer there’s support for you.

Getting a united state student visa is a opportunity to promote your Ventriloquist career in America, of course not during class time unless you’re really hungry for a showbusiness career then put that first before school but remember that the student visa will expire so it’s a opportunity to use wisely… you may ask about passports,I say a student visa is much more comfortable than a passport if you’re just starting your Ventriloquist career.. puting your student visa to work your university is a wonderful starting point to promote your Ventriloquist career.

let’s talk in a circle ⭕

We sit Indian style in a imaginary circle…. We chat about a few topics on this workshop notes..no need for taking notes unless you want to take notes, here in this imaginary circle we are just talking.

“SPONSORS” some Ventriloquists are depending on their sponsors for supporting their Ventriloquist careers, such as Edgar Bergen and Jimmy Nelson, I studied Edgar Bergen career digging deep, I did so many years of research trying to find the success of Edgar Bergen Ventriloquist career and one day the answer hit me in the face like a brick, for many years I kept the answer a secret for me until now, the secret to Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy Ventriloquist career, from my research is sponsors, Edgar Bergen sponsors were very generous and faithful to him.. Edgar Bergen sponsors were very supportive of Edgar Bergen Ventriloquist career, but when the sponsors begin to become lesser so did Edgar Bergen career… what is a sponsor? a sponsor is someone or business type that support you, and in return you give them recognition,it would be as being a fiancee or being engaged to someone, not quite married but part of the family… today being a Ventriloquist you can sponsor yourself just by supporting yourself, it’s pretty simple, instead of buying a bmw you take that bmw money to sponsor your Ventriloquist career,ride a scooter 🛵 instead..the money you make at your real job in the real world put some in a separate account for your personal sponsorship, it can be savings account or some type of business banking account card, or etc…if you get government food stamps take some of the food stamps to supply a event, yes government food stamps can be used for your Ventriloquist career sponsor, remember the subject at hand, we are talking about sponsors, and those government food stamps can be used to sponsor the food of your Ventriloquist show or party or event.. those government food stamps can buy beer in some places so now you have your very own beer 🍺🍻🍺🍺 sponsor..the government food stamps will also take care of 🎂 cakes and buckets of fried chicken… brain storm on sponsoring yourself, such as driving a bus in the day and being a Ventriloquist when you’re not a bus driver, making plans for your next event, doing this in such a way where the funding is being taken care of as your bus driving job is a sponsor of your Ventriloquist career.. can you understand the concept, so now you have two sponsors, a government food sponsorship and a bus sponsorship but the only difference is these are yourself sponsors and the others are for their own business interests..so Edgar Bergen loss revenue when he loss sponsors and if your bus driving job lose revenue then your Ventriloquist career lose revenue, see it’s basically all the same, you too can be just as famous as Jimmy Nelson and Danny o day, or Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy if you put your money where your mouth is.. make that four car garage in to a Ventriloquist theater or make it into a little comedy club and park the four cars some where else at no cost to you.. your garbage is now a Ventriloquist theater sponsored by your mortgage company..look at you! so far you have 3!!! sponsors for your Ventriloquist career!

FUNDING YOUR VENTRILOQUIST CAREER            

I talk about this with a sour cream and onion with garlic rotten egg breath… student loans, car payment and rent right out of highschool.

now I understand student loans are very important but if I could go back to my pass with the knowledge I have now, I would have taken those student loans and put it in my Ventriloquist career, it’s the same deal except you are studying for what you really love and want and not because you’re going to need a real world career such as a no showbusiness career such as a doctor or lawyer..if I can qualify for a $80,000 student loan, I can qualify for another type of loan, just something to think about, if a bank says you qualify and if you’re not in a very serious situation.. think about your Ventriloquist career, think about how that bank loan could support your Ventriloquist career.. for example if you really want a Ventriloquist career the student loans can support your Ventriloquist career and you take the doctor career as a plan “B” meaning try to take the student loans in two directions together, Ventriloquist career and doctor career…I remember paying high price rent, now I understand why people have roommates but I am a very private person and sure I did the roommate thing, I think some things are worth paying for such as privacy, so if you can find low rent, it will help you in funding your Ventriloquist career but remember there’s a difference between renting and owning… Let’s talk about weddings, I spent money on marriage items, just imagine taking that experience, that knowledge and that funding and that planning to add to a Ventriloquist career, getting married is a learning experience and a business experience, so take notes during wedding plans, the same places you get a wedding license you can get other business licenses the same places you get a divorce is the same place you go for your Ventriloquist career documents, some call notary offices, are you following me here… let’s talk about all that time and money you waste on dating and one night stands, why not turn that time and energy into your Ventriloquist career, when you go out on a dinner date, while you sitting down at the table give that person a stack of your business cards and tell them this is job interview, and that you are looking for someone in marketing your business, if the person says they’re looking for a relationship tell them this can be a business relationship, using your dating time is a good way to find people to help you in your business, I mean how many times are you going to do something over over over on the dating scene… imagine how many employees you would have had by now if you would have used your dating life as if it was you using it for hiring people to help in your show business Ventriloquist career, I mean if you’re going to spend money just to go on a date with someone get something out of it besides getting crabs and a transmitted disease and trust me it’s nothing fun about getting crabs all over your genital from having sex with someone, it’s disgusting, anyway moving on!..

think more about the things that you have, think about the people around, think about a positive way of living and don’t let the angry employees at the grocery store bother you, remember hurt people hurt people, just look at them 😞 and tell them to get well soon! any employee that treats a paying customer badly is sick, this means there’s a business selling shoes so you go in to the business, you see some shoes that you like, you take the shoes to the cashier, the cashier says to you the shoes cost ten dollars, you pay the cashier ten dollars then the cashier punch 🥊 you in your face and so remember to always say get well soon… invest in what you are passionate about, invest in something you love that is a hobby or a art, I am hoping that hobby or art is ventriloquism.

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.

royal kingdom presents production company workshop #rkpshows

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.)

As a robin hood you don’t borrow, borrowing is giving something back… today we have famous success Ventriloquists that are making a pretty good living having a Ventriloquist career. These famous Ventriloquists have no generosity for you the struggling artist of the art of  Ventriloquism. you travel for miles just to keep your Ventriloquist career afloat, some rich and famous Ventriloquists have help such as a agent, but some of us can’t afford an agent to find work for us, we have to go out to find work for ourselves. the reason the rich and famous Ventriloquists career are successful is because of help, such as writers and agents, so the robin hood theory is helping yourself to some of that help… no guilt on this subject, before continuing.. are you a Ventriloquist hungry to elevate your Ventriloquist career?..if yes continue, we will now learn how to steal from the successful rich and famous Ventriloquists and give to the struggling artist of the art of ventriloquism.

You would think the rich and famous Ventriloquists would cut you a 🍰 slice of that nice hot American apple pie 🥧 with the melted whipped cream on top that we call fame, you would think the rich and famous Ventriloquists would throw you a bone 🍗 with some meat 🍖 on it that we call sweet success.. for an example let a struggling Ventriloquist be a open act at one of their events or let the struggling artist know about opening auditions or about an agent that is looking for new talent or a movie part or you follow them on social media and they follow you back..little things like that, that would help a struggling Ventriloquist career,but guess what the rich and famous Ventriloquists do? They eat the whole damn 🥧 pie themselves and will not even let the struggling artist smell the meat on the bone.

find out who the number one Ventriloquists are today, that would be in this day at this time..terry fator…Jeff Dunham…Willie tyler… Megan piphus… being robin hood is taking their material to make for your own Ventriloquist act, even add some of their fashion to yours. the successful rich and famous Ventriloquists have their own joke writers, add those jokes to your own Ventriloquist act, these jokes are top of the line bought and paid for by professionals, use them freely for yourself.. the songs are also lucrative so use them for your Ventriloquist act, sometimes you can buy an exact copy of the Ventriloquist character and put the character in your headline advertising with character name, this is a attention getter, for an example Ventriloquist so and so with “LESTER” or “PEANUT” etc.. you can also get material and ideas from the rich and famous Ventriloquists videos and audios..also another option is to go see them perform live to record their live show performance, take the ⏺️ recording home to study, then duplicate the show into your very own Ventriloquist act, word from word, this act you can sell for your own Ventriloquist career for a lower fee than the rich and famous Ventriloquists, just remember to make it the same as you recorded live,when in rehearsal be dedicated to duplicating the original… your audience should have the same response that the original Ventriloquist had, why? because it’s the beer not the bartender… that act you recorded live of the rich and famous Ventriloquists can be used over and over once you have it in perfection. If it’s good enough for the Rich and famous Ventriloquists it’s good enough for you the struggling artist… what most Ventriloquists don’t know is “LESTER” is a collectors item, the original Ventriloquist dummy Lester is very very very famous, I would say it is up there with any of the Charlie McCarthy, and I would say in my opinion a original LESTER is a greater value than a original Jerry Mahoney, Lester is part of the Motown music history, Lester has met many many super stars such as Diana Ross and Mohammed Ali, the history of “LESTER” is famous a very unbelievable famous history for a Ventriloquist figure.

after stealing the rich and famous Ventriloquists act for your very own Ventriloquist career you might perform their own act better than they do, take that in consideration.. just a reminder Elvis Presley was a robin hood too!

FANTASY AND IMAGINATION alter ego.

on this workshop notes we will time in on what is real and what is not real. Why? because as artists of the art of Ventriloquism we want to become masters of the art, let me begin here..today we have very skillful voice animators that I see every day that don’t look like what they sound like, these days the phone is used for more than just talking such as taking photos and listening to music. Skillful voice animators or voice actors can change their voice to any age group such as an adult creating the voice of a child, doing this over the phone is the world of fantasy to a listener on the other end of the phone, to create a greater illusion  the voice magician or voice animator produces a photo for the listener creating imagination. what is fantasy? fantasy is a physical imagination, what is imagination? imagination is mentally.. on Halloween Day we can dress up as anyone we imagine to be creating the fantasy world on Halloween Day. when does the alter ego arrive? The alter ego arrives when the imagination and fantasy is combined to create the illusion of life, meaning the day of Halloween is everyday. making someone believe you’re someone you’re not over the phone is one thing but creating the illusion of life in the real world for real world purposes is another thing. a alter ego for a Ventriloquist can be a very good thing such as Charlie McCarthy was to Ventriloquist Edgar Bergen, in a interview Ventriloquist Edgar Bergen said he wished he was like Charlie McCarthy where he could walk in to a room and the room would light up, meaning Charlie McCarthy was welcomed where ever he went. Charlie McCarthy was Edgar Bergen alter ego for most of Edgar Bergen life.. some alter egos are hidden within a person, such as a personality change when a certain person come around and for an example your friend Paul says to you, Everytime Mary come around you start acting like a tough guy and you’re not a tough guy or for an another example your friend says Lisa you’re married why do you dress so sexy at the work place. in some situations our behavior in the real world were created in an imaginary world bring it out into the fantasy world, this is why Lisa doesn’t understand why she is not being treated like a married woman at the work place, this is why your friend Paul keep bailing you out of jail…Be it voice animators, be it alter egos, be careful what you create in the real world because trust and believe me you can’t put the genie back into the bottle.

LAZARUS COME FORTH:he cried out in a loud voice and he was dead came forth bound hand and foot with grave clothes.john11:43.

on this workshop notes we are sitting in a imaginary circle as we are just talking..this workshop is not a note taking study this one is a open mind workshop for the Ventriloquist that wants to rise up to another level but if you want to take notes that would be good for you…Let us begin with the vision of impossibility, such as turning water into wine or walking on water or can a actor on a movie screen create beliefs on the audience, yes, actor Kevin spacey in the movie the unusual suspects in 1995, movie headlines all over the country read “the greatest trick” the ending, no spoilers here because if you haven’t seen it go take a look at the artist of theater at work..as we sit in a imaginary circle I will mention some very closed minded topics and issues and to ask that you accept the words with an open mind, there are no note taking on this subject because it’s serve the possibility of rise in your Ventriloquist career. you can exit anytime, let us move a little deeper into us being Ventriloquists, and artist and artist are creators so we must always keep an open mind. what a wonderful magician David Copperfield and did you know he was a Ventriloquist too! yes the art of ventriloquism has sat beyond our greatest…let your mind wonder about a ventriloquist having a radio career for twenty years, look at the impossibility in that, but Edgar Bergen was a Ventriloquist that thought with a open mind. let us realize the new generation of the Ventriloquist is our time now. our ancestors statues spoke and today our statues speak. did Kevin spacey believe that the scene in the unusual suspects would become one of the greatest scenes in the art of cinema, did marilyn Monroe understand that the subway scene would be forever and ever remembered, what is a possibility to create impossibility…artificial intelligence is here, and what are the possibilities to create our artistic visions as Ventriloquists, have we seen the stepford wives in reality, what are the possibilities. can I fire my gardeners and save me some money because there are companies now that make grass and plants that don’t need any maintenance. as a ventriloquist will artificial intelligence be a Allie or enemy, or are we just entertainers.. I am sure sitting in this imagery circle, you are thinking with an mind of an artist and a artist is a entertainer and a creator..Today as a ventriloquist if you have the gift of voice imitating you can really use it with voice recognition devices,what are the possibilities and so can artificial intelligence, can you understand my concept, plain and simple we were here way way way before artificial intelligence arrival so let us study the arts and ways of our ancestors, our Ventriloquist figures are the statues today..Now let’s talk about social media, it’s a business, it’s a company, it’s has employees and bosses, and it has society thinking with a caveman brain today, this means just because you don’t see or hear them doesn’t mean that they are not there and I want you to take that in consideration to use as an artist, to be more clear there are undercover police officers that see a crime happening directly in front of their eyes and will not intervene, and your social media has a microphone and a camera and the same for the undercover police it goes the same for social media company they see and hear everything but will not intervene unless you said something they didn’t like in the comments, but if you are stuck on a mountain or something like that tough luck, well, if you’re stuck on a mountain just start making comments in your social media comment section and for sure you will get a response from someone,so Keep that in your back pocket for a emergency situation… I have seen Life like Ventriloquist figures, and I have seen Ventriloquist figures walk by themselves, what a great artist it must be to create that image, let our minds think beyond our ancestors traditions and step out and in the box of our ancestors art style..Edgar Bergen did wonders and amazing art going on the radio, it was like, people were saying, no! You can’t do that! a Ventriloquist on the radio! no way! that’s why we sit here in a imaginary circle with an open mind, I was watching a Ventriloquist on the television show America got talent, she didn’t use a ventriloquist figure, but a lot of voice throwing such as eating while watching the game on television as the announcer call out the plays and scores or something in that nature, I applaud her for originality, it was something fresh and something new. What will you create that will take your Ventriloquist career to a higher level, no need to rush any thing, take your time to create your art, you may think it takes five minutes to write a joke but sometimes it takes five months to make it a good funny laughable joke.

as we learned in this workshop about the undercover police officers and the social media company what you see and hear is an illusion… the artist creating art is the greatest gift of all…look at this shiny apple in the photo just like Adam and eve did in the garden of Eden and as Ventriloquists our powers are in sight and sound and hearing and our super powers of creating of silence…what are the possibilities of our abilities, the towers of Babylon had a possibility to reach the heavens so the god of universe said let’s go down and confuse their speech so that they can not understand one another..look at the illusion of life in theses dolls,yes dolls but I did include one human being just to see if you can find the real human.. as a ventriloquist you need to explore all images and material of your imagination.. when the god of the universe seen the towers of Babylon reaching his domain the gods said man has a very large imagination and we must put a stop to this because we do not know what they will do, you can read this for yourself in the Bible, the gods tremble of a human being with an imagination to create.

The illusion of life is very well created here. dolls all dolls except one, even though she’s not a doll the illusion of life is very creative.

Ventriloquist yes!

Welcome to the notes on yes! On theses workshop notes we’re going to answer with yes in hitting the road! yes! to transporting your Ventriloquist act and traveling locally with your Ventriloquist act. You may say That you can not do any shows because you don’t have a car to drive, I say yes you can do shows without having a vehicle to drive. When I was in eighth grade instead of going to school I was making money traveling doing shows with my Ventriloquist act, and if a poor ghetto eighth grade kid can do it you can do it. Yes in eighth grade I gave school the middle finger and grabbed my Ventriloquist trunk and hit the road, I dragged Sammy Ventriloquist trunk from town to town and from city to city and state. In highschool I traveled with a live band of musicians and was part of the management company. Even though I was a Ventriloquist I was a member of the band, and even though I was a member of the band the management company put me in the company as a ventriloquist. being a part of a band of musicians I get to really travel many places doing shows as the warm up act or the opening act. I say you too can travel with a live band of musicians to be their warm up act or opening act. I say yes to getting on your city public bus with your Ventriloquist trunk to go do shows, when I was in eighth grade I would take my maps and my Ventriloquist trunk with Sammy inside many times on the city public bus, and yes you can take a taxi, there I was in middle school having a taxi take me to do shows and back home, today it would be called Uber or Lyft or ride share..all around the world there’s cheap and affordable transportation.. there’s subways and trains and metro, and charter bus and in California I have traveled on Amtrak to go do my Ventriloquist shows, I want to say Amtrak was a beautiful ride and it was nice and fun, I really truly enjoyed traveling on Amtrak…yes I have put Sammy in a gym bag to travel to a near by show on my bicycle during my middle school days but today the way of the world public transportation and a smartphone for a Ventriloquist is Yes yes yes! as a Ventriloquist today you have no excuse to say no I don’t have any transportation to do a Ventriloquist show, in some of my cases the client or show booker paid for transportation, yes in some situations all is paid for, food, room, transportation,etc.. yes, being a Ventriloquist you can become a spoiled little brat, ha!ha!, and yes as a middle school Ventriloquist I was spoiled rotten, can you imagine a Ventriloquist ghetto boy in highschool staying at the Hilton hotel, can you imagine a poor ghetto Ventriloquist in highschool at the Tropicana for a meet and greet!! the Tropicana!! WOW!. yes you can do your Ventriloquist act, you just need to get out there and go!..stop saying no you can not and start saying yes to the art of ventriloquism. I tell you the truth, if you say yes and continue to say yes to being a Ventriloquist, no matter if you’re a beginner or amateur or professional or semi pro or old or young or rich or poor, the art of ventriloquism will always say yes to you.

HUMAN DUMMY makeup artist.

this workshop notes are for creativity and makeup on creating the human Ventriloquist dummy. as Ventriloquists we are artists also, that is why it is called “the art of Ventriloquism” as a artist you should not be afraid to be creative and to imagine. I have brought these notes on this subject of the human dummy make up artist to give you some ideas on making a human Ventriloquist dummy with using makeup, such as face paint, lipstick and eyeliner for the slot mouth and of course you will add your talents and imagination in creating your own human Ventriloquist dummy. Maybe add a wig and eyelashes for a more Ventriloquist figures look alike. a puppet with strings is when you add the strings to the arms and hands so this would not be a human Ventriloquist dummy but a puppet. be creative in using your makeup for your human Ventriloquist dummy, you do not need to stay with the basic look alike but your creations should look like a ventriloquist dummy, that means the audience should know it’s supposed to be a Ventriloquist dummy. so if you want to use blue face paint instead of the traditional color for your human Ventriloquist dummy then do so.any one can help you by being your human Ventriloquist dummy such as a spouse, a friend, a boss, etc. because the make up used to create your human Ventriloquist dummy is every day makeup that actors and actresses wear every day or you can use theater makeup or even beauty salons makeup. be sure to keep in mind to use removable makeup because there’s some permanent makeup on the market today, and I am sure you do not want your spouse to be your human Ventriloquist dummy permanently, so remember “removable” not permanent makeup. yes there are some people that get tired of taking makeup off and putting it on so they wear permanent makeup, yes it comes off but not easy like regular makeup. using your artist skills to create your human Ventriloquist dummy at your next event or party will be fun for the audience as they watch you create your human Ventriloquist dummy then bring them to life. I have brought some examples to give you some ideas of creating your human Ventriloquist dummy make up artist.

Ventriloquist team.

on this workshop notes there’s notes for the Ventriloquist that wants to team up with another Ventriloquist. ______________________________________________

(using the Ventriloquist mask): when two Ventriloquists team up to use the Ventriloquist mask it’s more fun for the audiences watching than using a volunteer from the audience. The Ventriloquists knows how to use the Ventriloquist mask and the Ventriloquists knows how to make it entertaining.

(THE TELEPHONE 📱 Ventriloquist team) this one may be kind of confusing for the audiences but will be a great illusion. two Ventriloquists having a speaker phone conversation going on at the same time. one Ventriloquist hold up a smartphone in his hand and the other Ventriloquist hold up another smartphone in his hand the two voices in the two phones carrying on a conversation with each other as the two Ventriloquists are listening.

(THE TRIPLETS using the Ventriloquist mask). Three Ventriloquists team up to use the Ventriloquist mask, we know the third Ventriloquist is the Ventriloquist and the other two are dummies. again I want to say a volunteer from the audience may not know what to do while wearing the Ventriloquist mask but a Ventriloquist knows exactly what to do while wearing the Ventriloquist mask, that makes it more fun and entertaining.

(THE STRANGER) two Ventriloquists team up, when the Ventriloquist on stage pick a stranger from the audience, the stranger is the second Ventriloquist but the audience have no clue that the volunteer the Ventriloquist chose from the audience is the teammate. The second Ventriloquist can make more ventrilqual illusions greater.

THE MANIKIN

On this workshop notes we are going to briefly talk about how the Ventriloquist can add another artist to their Ventriloquist show…..When I was doing live comedy clubs I ran into a old highschool classmate at a shopping center, I said what have you been up to these days, she said I am a fashion designer and fashion model, after explaining her art to me, I put her in one of my comedy clubs act, to help promote her fashion career. her name was Lisa and Lisa was a hit sensation on stage with the comedy bit that I wrote for her, that made the audience jump out of their seats with laughter. let me explain the bit I created for Lisa art and talents….Lisa was a human manikin in her little clothing store window in a shopping center back in the day,she would stand completely still with no movement at all in her personal design fashion store clothing window for the public viewing.. in my Ventriloquist comedy club bit I had snyder snyder snyder my other Ventriloquist figure and Sammy my other Ventriloquist figure sitting next to Lisa, Lisa face is makeup like a Ventriloquist dummy, as I stand in front of the audience introducing my act or talking about the weather Lisa move away from Sammy and Snyder Snyder Snyder and back to next to them, I turn to look back at Sammy and Snyder Snyder Snyder and Lisa but they are all in the original position as before, so I face the audience to talk about sports, now Lisa is directly standing behind me silently making funny faces and then she quickly returns back to her original position, I turn around to look at Sammy and Snyder Snyder Snyder and Lisa and they are sitting completely still with out movement. I say to the audience let me now introduce you to my Ventriloquist dummies, I pointed at Sammy, that’s Sammy, and then I pointed at Snyder Snyder Snyder, that’s snyder snyder snyder and then I pointed at Lisa sitting completely still, that’s Lisa! Lisa walk up next to me and I introduced Lisa to the audience then we talked about her fashion clothing store… how I performed the introduction, some ventriloquist trunks have wheels on them, the Ventriloquist can push or pull these trunks, I sat sammy on top of one Ventriloquist trunk then pushed the Ventriloquist trunk on stage, the second Ventriloquist trunk Snyder Snyder Snyder sat on top, I pushed that trunk next to Sammy on stage then Lisa was sitting on top of a third Ventriloquist trunk and I pushed that trunk up on stage next to Snyder Snyder Snyder,Lisa and Sammy and Snyder Snyder Snyder sat perfectly still sitting side by side.

SPEECHLESS

on this workshop notes I will share a private party trick that I call “speechless”. I hope you will do a study on this Ventriloquist trick and learn to perform it in your act. Let me begin by saying my way of performing this trick was very gruesome and scary for the birthday party audience, it was so realistic I could not sell it in my Ventriloquist act, meaning I had to stop performing it completely for live audiences, because in the show agreement contract you lay your cards down on the table and show your playing cards,this means the person booking you knows what to expect such as animal tricks or swallowing a flaming broom stick act, and when they seen in the show agreement contract the cutting my tongue off bit they said cut that bit out. What is the speechless bit? it’s a trick I perform with my sidekick Sammy, it’s where I tell the audience that there are rumors that I do all the talking, I take out my scissors and cut my tongue off, I grab a white handkerchief to stop the bleeding from my mouth, as the blood cover my hand and white handkerchief Sammy begin to sing, the bloody handkerchief becomes filled with more blood as I am trying to stop the bleeding from my mouth and Sammy and I exit the stage. I like doing this bit but as a closer because it leaves the audience puzzled and it is a mystery. what these workshop notes are on is you the artist creating out of the ordinary, something never seen before by a Ventriloquist, something fresh, something new or create something done by a Ventriloquist in ancient history. as a ventriloquist you are a artist and Ventriloquism is a art. The speechless bit was short lived because it was done too quick and too real where some audience members ran out side the room. let me explain how I did the introduction..” ladies and gentlemen,boys and girls there are rumors that I am doing all the talking, well that rumor is not true”..I quickly take scissors from my pocket and quickly cut my tongue off, I quickly grab a white handkerchief from my top pocket to cover my mouth and remove the white bloody handkerchief with a expression of pain then my sidekick Sammy begin to sing, while I look and show the audience my cut off tongue laying on the bloody handkerchief, gently touching around my mouth with the bloody handkerchief as more and more blood is around my mouth, Sammy end his song and we exit quickly with the ventriloquist in pain and speechless. When I did this bit I was a young Ventriloquist and I was really pushing the envelope in those days, I was a hungry Ventriloquist in creativity, I always had something new in the lab, always working on new bits and skits and jokes and characters and tricks. I no longer use the “speechless” bit so if you can find the secret ingredients of how I created it,it is yours, I no longer need the speechless bit, it’s no longer my material, I am retired from live on stage performances…if you find the secret ingredients you can keep the bit for your very own Ventriloquist bit, you may say if I had to take this bit out of my act why should you want it, I will tell you why, because this bit is a shocker and a attention getter if done correctly, the looks on the faces of the audience when they thought I cut my tongue off and Sammy was singing. I will give you a hint, in the introduction of the speechless bit be quick and use slight of hand, the rest is a simple singing Ventriloquist act and this bit should be no longer than a minute and a half and I suggest that you use it as a closer, because you’re “speechless”…. I will share what you need to put the bit together. #.1. a white handkerchief…#.2.the magician tongue…#.3. plastic silver color scissors..#.4. a package of red Kool aid…#5. a small pocket flat sponge…#..6.prictice slight of hand… when you finally put the pieces together, rehearsals and rehearsal the speechless bit then test it on a friend, make sure your friend stand about ten feet away because I forgot to mention this bit is not for close up and if done correctly your friend is going to be shocked 😲!.

Creating the illusion dummy.

on these workshop notes we are going to study and take a briefing on a Ventriloquist earning the name title master. first of all human beings are creatures that can easily be manipulated,in us Ventriloquists earning to become their master the Ventriloquist should practice and study the arts of animation. let us take a walk on the dark side of mastering the illusion dummy, in a better word the less intelligent, in other words the dumb, the stupid, let’s just call them big dummies..how is it done? how is what done? a question answering a question,study that… human beings are nothing more than a caveman today, what has advanced the intelligence of human beings are technology and the tools that they use for building.. many centuries ago the priest used statues to talk to the people of the villages to keep them in their power, the people of the village obeyed the commands or words of the statue, note that the priesthood were a group of Ventriloquists, you will find in ancient history that people worship talking statues for centuries, very much among the Greeks and Hebrews. What we need to do to create the illusion dummy? study that question.. what is an illusion? study that question and practice it, what is a dummy? a dummy is a person acting as another, a dummy is a stupid person, a dummy is fake, a dummy is a copy, a dummy is a…”illusion”… Let’s go a little deeper into our study and notes.. the beautiful girl driving the rich man to work or the rich man being driven to work by a beautiful girl, which one is the dummy?. a want to be actress sleeping with a very famous married actor that said he would help her with her acting career and the actress knows and has met his world famous wife,who is the dummy?..where can we earn the title of master among the human race of the creation of the illusion dummy, the answers are in our study as Ventriloquists just as our ancestors did in the priesthood. as a Ventriloquist our magic is in illusions, we are not quite magicians but we are magical. our ancestors were great for many centuries creating the illusion dummy, what happened to our ancestors? do you really want to know the answer to what happened to our ancestors of Ventriloquist priesthood?, let me mention the golden calf statue, go take notes on that subject, let me mention athens the capital of Greece, let me mention the apollo Greek god, and most importantly the young girl Ventriloquist that had the apostle Paul arrested in philippi in Macedonia.during our ancestors times of ruling the human population of some areas of the globe kings of many nations and kingdoms begin to see them as a threat in ruling over the power of the human population, some kings called them demons and some kings used them as gods of wisdom and communicators to the spirit world, some kings put them in prison or worse. many our ancestors of Ventriloquists went into hiding for a very long time, continuing to practice the art of ventriloquism. when our ancestors begin to come out of hiding, the priest were no longer using the art of Ventriloquism to control the human society. after the priesthood the generation of Ventriloquists were entertainers, artists, performers, magicians, and instead of religion the art of Ventriloquism became a art. Now we move forward,to the moment in time, this workshop notes are the subject of digging up our ancestors and breathing life into their old ways. How can we earn the title of master? was Adam a Ventriloquist that wanted to rule the world by creating the illusion dummy eve, and something we never really think about is that, is our first lady of the United States of America a Ventriloquist creating the illusion dummy of the president, earning the title master. To dig up our ancestors and breathing life into their art style will take a lot of study, because so much of their art and work has been destroyed. In my study some of the kings really depended on our ancestors so call super powers. You may think these notes are evil or going to be dishonest, again this workshop is to help you accomplish your greatness goals in your Ventriloquist career. Theses notes are for different students, someone may want to become a Ventriloquist singer, well, there’s a raw workshop notes on that subject.These workshop notes are on creating the illusion dummy, that means we are studying our ancestors and breathing life into their old ways of the art. Now let’s continue.

The caveman brain today truly believes there’s no responsibility in life or even consequences for their actions. even the governments today have returned back to the caveman ways of thinking, you would think the governments of the earth would be highly intelligent human beings with all that educated brain power, and this is why I am having this special workshop notes, human beings are living in the stone age today of the year 2024. The decision and choices that society makes today are not driven by knowledge and wisdom but purely emotional and guess what emotions are a illusion and that is one of the studies of this workshop notes. Let me clear that up for the caveman brain today “emotions are a illusion” why? how many times you have broke off a relationship with someone and begin the relationship again, how many times you have misunderstood a situation that caused you so much emotional trauma. Pay your taxes and pay your student loans and your loans back no matter what the government or anyone says,nothing is free caveman brain,nothing! if your government says free food come and get it, if your friend says free rent move in! NO! caveman brain. and here we are today digging up our ancestors statues.

as a ventriloquist looking for the title master you are going to need to read some physical books not digital but real in your hand books, here’s some ‘the art of war’ ‘author Tony Robbins’ ‘knock wood by Candice Bergen’ ‘vaudeville’ ‘ancient rome’ theses books are just to give you briefing on determination and a setting your mind. creating the illusion dummy, the Ventriloquist target is vision, the beautiful 🍎 apple in the garden of Eden, vision the beautiful girl, or the rich man or elegance beauty of the first lady the president wife. The second target is ears, or hearing, this one is very difficult because you need to be careful on the tone, the ears are very sensitive and the ears are near the brain,the brain will make a judgment then the body will respond with a emotion or emotions then the brain will tell the body how to react, our Ventriloquist ancestors were looking to control their people so the response of obedience is what they wanted not disobedience. If our ancestors talking statue gave a village child a tongue lashing the village child knew that he or she were being punished. the next target is silence, in creating this dummy illusion is a super power, this one is really based on after reading the book ‘the art of war’ one thing human beings hate is silence, why? do you really want to know why? because silence is a mystery, silence is not sight or sound. The next target is words, words are language in communication and words are gifts, choose how you use them wisely. our ancestors statues spoke words to kings of many kingdoms, and our ancestors statues words destroyed many kingdoms and our ancestors statues were worship idols for millions and millions of people, in some cases our ancestors statues challenge the gods of the universe. Creating the illusion dummy might be confusing to some people way of thinking these days, it is very popular today, they call it by the name “cat finishing” so don’t feel so guilty about the subject at study, we are not studying cat fishing we are studying creating the illusion dummy. earning the title master of creating the illusion dummy you will need to be skilled over time as you practice on your targets. Today’s society is no different than our ancestors, they’re still living with a caveman brain and soon you will be the master of that caveman or cavewoman, they will call you master master master! love me master, I will obey you master! here’s my car keys master, I will do anything you want master, control me master! I can’t think for myself master tell me what to say and think master!. can you imagine, amazing isn’t. It’s true I have seen it with my own eyes, it’s called codependent, it’s called vulnerable, it’s called naive, it’s called gullible. Were our ancestors a wolf in sheep clothing? The answer is our ancestors were intelligent humans beings and they were leaders of the villages full of people with a caveman brain so they had to find away to keep order and keep the law of the land. I mentioned our ancestors talents and art skills were not only used in the villages but were also used in the kingdom of kings. Should we use our ancestors style today to hurt people? no, again read again, the kings of the kingdom used our ancestors skills for their purpose to speak to the spirit world, our ancestors statues spoke to the tribes of the villages to keep them in order and so that people follow the laws and rules of the land, maybe some of our ancestors were priest that used their talents to hurt people. I am sure you are going to create a illusion dummy for your own good. Today The caveman brain 🧠 is not growing after all these years, even herman Munster wised up get married and moved into a castle. so this workshop is to dig up our ancestors statues and take advantage of the caveman brain today, yes I did say take advantage of the “caveman brain” the caveman brain today can not understand that a child way of thinking is not going to work in a adult body, for example at age five if you broke a tooth that tooth will grow back at age twenty five nothing is growing back. so who’s the dummy illusion the beautiful girl or the rich man that the beautiful girl is driving to work? The beautiful girl uses visual as a target and said these soft spoken words in a Marilyn Monroe tone “give me the car keys to your million dollar car and I will drive you to work and pick you up sweetie 😘” and the rich man says in a Fred Flintstone voice said “YABBA DABBA DOO!”….. what a world we live in today, wright?

‘CREATING THE ILLUSION DUMMY’ the caveman brain 🧠 today. #rkpshows

Ventriloquist figure maker Daniel cousino.

on this workshop notes are on mentioning a Ventriloquist puppet or dummy maker name Daniel cousino a retired postal worker. first I want to say Daniel cousino creations of Ventriloquist figures are wonderful of originality, they are one of a kind and built like the original Ventriloquist dummies were built and that would be HAND CARVED OUT OF WOOD!!.. I really did the research before bring the mentioning of the subject to the workshop so please get as much information if you are a beginner or amateur performer Ventriloquist. This workshop here to help you with as much information in showbiz as a ventriloquist and the art of ventriloquism as it can provide you with. The hand carved Ventriloquist figures are a very good investment for a ventriloquist career, they last a very long time not like the fiberglass or plastic Ventriloquist figures, that’s why many Ventriloquists use the soft puppet.. the good thing about the hand carved from wood Ventriloquist figures is that no two are alike and as a Ventriloquist this is what you want and that is your own brand. now I must say basswood is another kind of Ventriloquist figure making material, Daniel cousino uses real wood and trust me there’s a difference… take a look at Ventriloquist Edgar Bergen first Charlie McCarthy, Charlie McCarthy was hand carved from real wood by a furniture builder. here today the amateur and beginner ventriloquists have a chance to move away from the Ventriloquist dolls if they choose. There’s nothing wrong with the ventriloquist doll if that’s the Ventriloquist figure that you choose to use but I wish Daniel cousino was around when I was a beginner performer, because Ventriloquist figures were very very very very expensive and me and soft puppets just didn’t work out together. The funny thing is Daniel cousino hand carved Ventriloquist figures have the same features that the Ventriloquist doll does and so it’s basically a wooden Ventriloquist doll in a professional size and the price is not so bad either. if you are a amateur Ventriloquist that is looking for a more professional look for your career go talk to Ventriloquist figure maker Daniel cousino while the opportunity is knocking. because as I mentioned Ventriloquist figures are very valuable and very costly so if you’re on a budget this workshop notes should help you in some way. the Daniel cousino figures has a large head just like the size of the professional, the body size is up to about 42 inches, the eyes are stationary meaning they do not move, the head turn in a full circle, the hands are carved out of wood, the mouth is large for visibility and the price is good for a serious amateur or beginner Ventriloquist, now about the price, at this time, the prices I have witnessed for myself are the same price of a ventriloquist doll, I say contact the Ventriloquist figure maker Daniel cousino to get a update on pricing.. and yes these notes are titled Daniel cousino versus the Ventriloquist doll because us Ventriloquists need a middle man and I have heard many beginners and amateurs Ventriloquists say that they have dropped out of the art of ventriloquism because they can’t afford it, and I also want to quote Ventriloquist Willie Brown “it cost money to be a Ventriloquist”.. take notes in this workshop so that you don’t be one of those beginners that drop out of the amazing art of ventriloquism… like I have said before, if you like using the Ventriloquist doll, that is good, if you are on a budget but want a professional figure as of this date and time the art of ventriloquism has a wooden dummy maker I call him the middle man between the amateur and the professional but you can call him Daniel cousino.. https://www.facebook.com/Daniel.cousino.9

HATERS?

on this workshop notes are subjects of negative audience responses. the first thing I will mention is Ventriloquism is a art and being a Ventriloquist is being a artist..I have been called many bad names for being a Ventriloquist, I have dedicated most of my life to the art of Ventriloquism, and the negative person has dedicated their life to negativity. remember not to let anyone take away your dreams, your hopes and your joy and also remember this even the god of the universe has haters too!. you always hear the saying “what will people think” or “what will people say” I say if you’re not breaking any laws or hurting anyone, I think you should do your craft to your full enjoyment. the art of ventriloquism is not just for the performing arts, there’s so much more that you can do or become in the art of ventriloquism, so if you are worried about the haters you have many other options in the art of ventriloquism besides being a performer or in front of an audience. I will never forget Sarah palin was enjoying autographing items for her fans and this guy just kept talking trash to Sarah palin but she didn’t stop having fun with her fans as she writing her autograph she says to the rude guy”look where you are and look where I am, you’re over there and I am over here”. I was just amazed at that statement, you can see every one enjoying themselves except this guy, my mother always said mystery loves company. if you have haters that’s a good thing for motivation and determination, do well and they will hate you more then do very well and they’ll hate themselves, and guess what? you will also say “you’re over there and I am over here”. I suggest that you study kim Kardashian if you have a hater problem, she over came so many haters, she did so well she get the united states government to free a woman from prison. if you are dealing with slander as a ventriloquist, it’s all part of show business.. let’s be brief on the subject of slander in show business but first let me mention there was a children show Ventriloquist on television many years ago arrested for being in a online chatroom having a conversation about eating little children and cooking them, that sounds like the children fairy tale of Hansel and gretel.. now back to the subject of Ventriloquist slander, Ventriloquist Jeff Dunham have no idea what I am reading about him today and what I am reading is..I will not mention what I am reading about Ventriloquist Jeff Dunham because it’s hear say, the reading is based on his haters and they want his career to end,they want him to fail as a successful show business entertainer but I seriously doubt that Ventriloquist Jeff Dunham career will fall from grace unless he does something really really bad…now let’s continue on to the main ingredient of todays haters..many many years ago you had news papers and magazines, you had gossip news, you had secret photographers following the rich and famous to try to get a photo that they can sell to the gossip news or magazines. Today you have bloggers that need content for social media companies, Donald Trump called it fake news and what is fake news? let’s say a famous Ventriloquist is sitting in his car at traffic signal and the bloggers start blowing the horn on their car “hey buddy you cut me off back there and hit my car!! You’re drunk!” at this time the famous Ventriloquist is being recorded by the bloggers to see what the famous Ventriloquist will say or do,if the famous Ventriloquist get out his car angry, the bloggers have something to sell, if the famous Ventriloquist keep driving now the bloggers have something to sell “famous Ventriloquist in a hit and run accident read the story here in the gossip news section” some call this click bait.so yes haters are part of life, have you ever had a nextdoor neighbor always in your personal business, always looking and talking. I remember when I was a teenager my nextdoor neighbor name Chris always looking over my backyard wall, so one day he knocked on the front door, me and my mother opened the front door, he’s standing there with one hand on his hip and with his other hand wagging his big giant finger at me, saying “I seen what you were doing in your backyard and I want you to know I am watching you, yeah child I got my eyes on you” he leave and my mother said to me, “vann what the hell are you doing in the back yard!!” I said to my mother “I sit my Ventriloquist figure Sammy in the lawn chair to take pictures outside” my mother was like what is Chris so upset about it’s a Ventriloquist doll, I must mention Chris was a college student and he attended usc,me and mother was thinking maybe he get the backyards confused. haters can make you or break you so be very careful how you deal with your haters, but you say to yourself I don’t have any haters, well then you have been betrayed with a kiss just like Jesus Christ, the worst kind of hater is the one that drink from your cup and break bread with you. On this workshop notes of haters in your Ventriloquist career is to remember that you have them where ever you go or what ever you choose to do.

ventriloquism gimmick for the amateur ventriloquist.

On this workshop notes, I will share a few ways the beginners and amateurs in the art of Ventriloquism can make performing on stage a little bit easier..using a ventriloquist puppet with a big mouth with a loud sound system takes the audience attention off of you the ventriloquist and on to your partner, you would need to practice on the mouth manipulation of the Ventriloquist puppet as you speak. The microphone sound system volume is turned up high, your amateur Ventriloquist lip control skills are good enough not to be seen moving because the size of the head of the puppet head provide shade, this means the audience do not have a clear view but can notice your lips are not moving. In this ventriloquism illusion the eyes see the big mouth moving and hear the sound of the voice,making a pretty good illusion that you the amateur or beginner are a pretty good Ventriloquist,of course this gimmick is for temporary use and over time you will not need them.another way using the big head big mouth puppet is putting a microphone in front of the ventriloquist puppet and one microphone directly in front of yours,this way cover or hide your lips and the puppet voice is heard clearer…the second gimmick of ventriloquism for a beginner or amateur ventriloquist is the ventriloquist dummy answering the ventriloquist question with body language, such as answer yes or no with the movement of the Ventriloquist puppet head,in this ventriloquism gimmick the Ventriloquist figure communicate with body language, eyes ,face, head, arms, eyebrows,etc.some ventriloquist puppets have moving parts.This gimmick is very good for a Ventriloquist that has a message to deliver where the ventriloquist do all the talking or speech or a beginner Ventriloquist that quite haven’t got the lip control down yet but ready to start performing as a ventriloquist, as I mentioned the Ventriloquist doing all the talking,a amateur standup comedian can use this gimmick by doing his standup comedy act and have the puppet listening, watching and laughing, I call this gimmick the silent partner..take a look at ventriloquist ronn Lucas in the photo, the puppet has a large size mouth, as a amateur or beginner to use the ventriloquism gimmick that we are taking notes on,this is a example puppet size that you want to use, I went to watch ventriloquist ronn Lucas show at the comedy and magic club in California, I was very happy to see ventriloquist ronn Lucas show, the illusion of life with a soft puppet was amazing!. I suggest that you get some ronn Lucas material for training and study to learn how to use the big mouth puppet on these workshop notes on the ventriloquism gimmicks for amateur and beginner ventriloquists. some may say What’s with the Ventriloquism gimmicks lessons and notes? and I will answer the question, this is my answer: there are many lessons on the market of the art of Ventriloquism, there are not many schools that you can attend for the art of ventriloquism such as dancing or acting, most ventriloquist are self taught, and self taught is not bad at all because you become the artist that you yourself create.the notes on Ventriloquism gimmicks is to shine some light on the way the amateur or beginner that are hungry to become a ventriloquist to get there career going. these ventriloquism gimmicks I have used myself, I was a kid in my school that could not sing or dance or even be a rapper and sports was just not going to happen for this little poor kid, and for sure I had no criminal skills, I always wanted to be in show business, I always wanted to be in comedy, and I always wanted to be a writer. Then something happened for this poor little kid, and one morning I awake from a long restless tiresome sleep and all of a sudden I became a singer, a rapper, a dancer, a writer! a poet, a storyteller, a actor and most importantly a ventriloquist!! yes these ventriloquism gimmick are to help the amateur or beginner Ventriloquists to get out there to make their dreams come true like they did for me. Edgar Bergen said if it’s loud enough and fast enough it will be over before audience know it’s terrible. These gimmicks were created by me as a young Ventriloquist they helped me get some amateur stage time in on my training in the performing arts of becoming a ventriloquist. remember as a beginner you are a student of the art and as a amateur you a performer, let me clarify a amateur Ventriloquist and a beginner Ventriloquist.as a beginner you are most of the time reading, writing, practicing, rehearsing, studying, and creating “your” art and entertaining with your talent at the breakfast table or making the delivery person at the front door hear a baby crying in his delivery truck or someone see you having a conversation on the phone and can’t believe what they are hearing from the voice that is coming out the phone, that someone is so nosey you hand them the phone, and then that someone put the phone up to there ear to hear no sound at all then you move your hand like it’s a puppet to carry on the conversation, the amateur is the Ventriloquist that is moving up ladder in the art of Ventriloquism, when I was a amateur Ventriloquist I was hungry for the stage, I was everywhere! talent shows, talent contest, family and friends birthday parties and celebrations, church events, charity functions,etc. as a amateur Ventriloquist get on stage as much as possible because guess what after amateur night is the biggest night of your life! it’s show time baby! You’re turning PRO! or semi-pro!. yes that’ the way it works, beginner-amatur-semi,pro/pro. You need to study the art of ventriloquism alot and practice, and don’t be a afraid to be creative, bring something new to the art, how about a talking penis as a Ventriloquist puppet, as a amateur Ventriloquist you might be able to get away with that maybe not as a professional,so take advantage of your creativity with the Ventriloquism gimmicks. as a amateur Ventriloquist I didn’t have much material or content so I wrote gimmicks and created gimmicks to complete my act, and as I wrote more material such as jokes, skits, comedy routines, the gimmicks became less but I kept them in my back pocket for if I ever needed them. I think the fall a part puppet is a wonderful gimmick for a amateur Ventriloquist, I built a ventriloquist puppet when I was a amateur where the body fall apart and I am just standing holding the puppet head,why this gimmick because I was amateur and I needed comedy, I had not much material, and this gimmick got me laughs through the years,the gimmick went like this, a well dress Ventriloquist walk on the stage and his Ventriloquist partner is well dressed, everything looks good, then the puppet arm fall to the floor, then the other arm,oh it’s shocking to me the Ventriloquist then the puppet body fall forward to the stage floor,I look at the ventriloquist dummy head that I continue holding up in conversation position and the dummy turn and look at the audience and says “I’m naked!” I try to cover the dummy head with my other hand and the dummy head says to me “you got your hand on my stick!” then turn to the audience and says “quick somebody bring him some lotion!” “not so rough lover boy, your ashy hands!” “get me out of here!” and me the Ventriloquist exit the stage with the ventriloquist dummy head moving as if it was talking to me the ventriloquist.the fall apart body was easy for me to build, the body was a cardboard box covered with nice clothes and the arms were contacted with a string to the Ventriloquist puppet head inside the body that I could release with my finger so that the arm fall to the floor, the body was leaning or resting on the puppet head for support so when I lifted the puppet head up and with a gentle push the puppet body falls forward to the floor.. gimmick aren’t good or bad but your ventriloquist act should not be built on gimmicks alone, the gimmicks that I created for my Ventriloquist acts was because I was a overweight stage eater just constantly eating stage time, I was always creating new comedy skits and bits. remember notes in this workshop based on Ventriloquism gimmicks, remember the ladder of show business and becoming a artist and remember gimmicks are a temporary tool, not a permanent solution. let’s talk about the forbidden fruit called LIP SYNCING!!! what a art of ventriloquism gimmick, wright! but don’t worry this workshop art of ventriloquism gimmicks are for beginners and amateurs Ventriloquist so it’s ok! lip sync is a very good gimmick for the amateur singer Ventriloquist that wants to get there songs heard by an audience, I see nothing wrong with a ventriloquist singer song writer lip syncing to their own song and I must mention doing a very good job at the illusion that they’re singing live,so take some acting classes or rehearsing and rehearsing the songs over and over with your puppet. is it okay to lip sync another person song, the answer to that is,well, to me that is not a gimmick and these notes are based on Ventriloquism gimmicks, I think lip syncing a recording artist song with the audience should be ok, that would be in the audience participation category, a gimmick is a tool that will help you move up the ladder of your Ventriloquist career. is lip syncing the art of Ventriloquism? The answer is yes,then why is it forbidden? The answer is, lip syncing is not forbidden for beginners and amateurs Ventriloquists but it is definitely forbidden for the semi-pro and professional ventriloquist if a semi-pro or professional ventriloquist lip sync this is almost moving into the bait and switch category, and scammers category and also people maybe yelling fraud on your Ventriloquist act reputation, why? because you’re getting paid to sing live, not for giving a recording of yourself singing, when you become a pro everyone expect perfection from you and I mean everyone. as a amateur Ventriloquist singer of your own songs you better lip sync your ass off because once someone pay you for your singing Ventriloquist act the lip syncing is over and done with, so stay in the amateur shows spot light until you are ready to become semi-pro or pro. but I want to get paid for my singing Ventriloquist act, is what you ask? as a amateur Ventriloquist the safe way to get paid using this gimmick is for you to move up to semi-pro, charging fees or admission prices will be by donations, this means the audience will pay what ever “they’ choose for your ventriloquist act not your suggested fee or demand fee, now once you decide to go semi-pro you can never go back to amateur, the only way to go back to amateur is retire your ventriloquist career.. You may be confused about shows of category, I will explain here. The workshop notes on this subject is Ventriloquism gimmicks for the ventriloquist amateur, there are laws all over the world and show business is a business all over the world. a gimmick is a tool, a tool that some people don’t like being used,this is why it is forbidden for some artists to use. as a singing Ventriloquist act you should study copyright laws all over the world if you choose to go semi-pro or pro. lip syncing for amusement and fun is safer than for profit and don’t forget the government wants a cut of the money you make from your successful singing Ventriloquist act career. these Ventriloquism gimmicks should be used for a stepping stone or even a filler for your ventriloquist act, use them then put them in your back pocket for a rainy day. In closing on this workshop of Ventriloquism gimmicks one day you will be at the breakfast table having a 🍊 orange and a grapefruit have a yo momma joke battle then the next thing you know you will be living a dream of your wildest imagination.

ventriloquist Richard and Willie. (ADULT ENTERTAINMENT CAREER).

In my generation of entertainers most young performers wanted to be adult entertainers. The adult entertainment world was a success for careers of show business seeker. There were pornstars, movies stars, radio stars, recording stars and night club entertainers stars, so many opportunities to become rich and famous in show business as an adult entertainer and performer.if you wanted to be a superstar in modeling the porn business was a very successful career for some adult entertainers and There was a stripper night club almost in every city for dancers and comedy club was every where for comedians and this is my entertainers background, I lived and grow up in the adult entertainers world, listening to stand up comedy on audio and watching stand up comedy on films for study of the performing arts. Lenny Bruce was a very out spoken comedian of his time and Richard Pryor was a influence on Ventriloquist Richard and Willie, this ventriloquist act was slow paced but in your face with the punches but ventriloquist Otto and George was quick punches of none stop jab jab jab with the punchlines but both of theses ventriloquist acts of adult entertainment are truly a TKO of comedy, and I must mention we all have a different style of presentation of our Ventriloquist act or I should. say, I should hope so. The radio super star Howard Stern was a adult entertainer on the radio, back in the day, he was called a “shock jock” I truly enjoyed Howard Stern before he moved to satellite radio or something like that, Howard Stern proudly mentioned he was a ventriloquist many times. ventriloquist Richard and Willie have many comedy albums on the market, because of cancel culture today, if you choose to listen to one of theses albums make sure it’s in secret and in private, you for sure will not get free speech like this content in many places, I must mention I am a free speech believer so I grew up supporting free speech entertainers. If you truly truly want to hurt yourself from laughing get you some ventriloquist Otto and George shows and Ventriloquist Richard and Willie shows, only if you are an adult,and if you are not an adult, it will be our dirty little secret.

My secrets on the Ventriloquist birthday party 🥳🎉 business.

ha! ha! I was in middle school about age 13 making more money doing Ventriloquist shows than my friends working at McDonald’s! WOW! I am a old fart today but I look back at my teenage days and say WTF!..I was a young ghetto boy making real money, with my ventriloquist act name vann duke and Sammy. on these workshop notes I will give you my secrets on my birthday shows success..I get paid to perform different places but the birthday party shows was a cash cow for a little eighth grader living in the ghetto.. sometimes in showbusiness you don’t appreciate the dream such as meeting famous people and traveling places of your wildest dream.. I will start at the beginning, when I first started performing my Ventriloquist act it was for family and friends on holidays..next door to the house I grew up in was a preschool called mr.jackson preschool, I would do story book reading to pre school kids with Sammy..to my unbelief the kids from the next door preschool parents was leaving messages on my mother answering machine asking to book vann duke and Sammy for their children birthday party, the preschool kids would go home and could not stop talking about vann duke and Sammy to their mother and father..I learned how to grow the Ventriloquist birthday party business from doing shows at many other preschools and promoting the show at public library, my library show was free but I used it for promoting, the mr.jackson preschool show I never changed it,it was a hot ticket! The mr.jackson preschool show was storytelling with a wisecrack ventriloquist doll named Sammy..I did the mr.jackson preschool skits at many paying preschools that book vann duke and Sammy..I traveled a lot performing the mr.jackson preschool skit, I name the act the mr.jackson preschool act.. the act was easy for this middle school ghetto ventriloquist because Sammy was just acting a fool and kids loved it.. simple, children story books and a ventriloquist doll,WOW!…. 8th grade in showbusiness, getting paid!! my friends were committing crimes to make money, they seen me doing shows and wish for something that I had,my friends in middle school could not believe how much money I was making with my Ventriloquist shows,my friends said they do a crime to make money then two days later they’re back out on the street doing crime to make money, I tell them one show and I am set for weeks,did you hear me I said one show.. think about it,if I am set with one how set am I with five…it was gravy! for this teenage Ventriloquist living in the ghetto. The library shows were free shows that lead to birthday party shows. I learned how to market the birthday party business in middle school,my main business focus was putting preschools and libraries in a circle and the birthday party in center of the circle, preschools paid good money but the birthday parties were the winning ticket for me….in middle school me and my best friends would eat at McDonald’s fast food restaurants and clown the workers when ordering from the expensive food menu, back in the day McDonald’s had a regular menu and another menu with the high price food, as a young ventriloquist living in the ghetto I was well to do,it was gravy, it was gravy with mashed potatoes and butter! I have given you my successful secret of marketing my birthday party shows with my ventriloquist act…I give this secret away because I am retired from live stage shows. I still think about all that cash in middle school I made with Sammy..all that birthday cake I eat and fruit punch to drink..I am so happy that I didn’t have to commit crimes to make money like my friends in middle school..I am honestly telling you, during middle school one day I walked in to the house coming from school and my mother said “vann! boy! you have ten messages on my answering machine!” of course this eighth grader was wondering what the hell is going on,until my mother begin to play every single one of the messages for me to hear. those ten messages were birthday party shows..wow!! WOW!! remember what I said about one show and I am set for weeks!!!.. even if I had one show I never stop hustling in show business, always turning the one show into another one and another one and another one,why? because I didn’t want to end up like my friends in middle school and highschool.. that is my secret,the drive to succeed not to end up a loser or in jail. here you look for a purpose in your life, like I did as a middle school kid living in a poor neighborhood..as a ventriloquist you need to brainstorm often about your art….take notes of theses secrets,every word in these notes are part of the secret from the beginning to the end.

Your ventriloquist show FLIERS.

on this quick royal kingdom presents production company WORKSHOP study and notes we are going to look at fliers.The photo above in this note and study is a pretty good example. This flyer reminds me of when I was performing live shows, it’s how the fliers on my ventriloquist trunk was designed, photo and name with my contact info….The example flyer above is for a upcoming show for a ventriloquist team many years ago. on the flyer you can see the performing dates, five days in total. The photo is very catchy, it’s a eye getter, meaning it will for sure get your attention, and that’s what you want on your fliers, so people will become interested in the info of your message. The flyer also mentioned the price of admission, it give the website address for contacting..this flyer gives the name of the bar or club,etc. It also mentioned the environment setting letting you know this show is not for kids,but you can always contact the flyer to make sure for the age entry. This is a very old flyer but it’s still eye catching today. I remember when I was very young, I would keep concerts fliers that I attended if the fliers were glamour and eye catching..From the business card to the fliers to the event itself you want all to be very good. also as you can see the entertainers give credit to the flyer maker..are posters and fliers the same, fliers are smaller than posters but if you have the funds you can have posters made for fliers. a poster can be seen more visible than a flier. Take a look at the example flyer in the above photo, it’s definitely a ventriloquist show for adults and I would definitely want to go see this show, after all I have five show dates to choose from. and the ventriloquist figures in the photo seems like they are ready to bring the house down. I chose this flier for an example because, just look at it…I want to go see this show!

The example flyer is just an example for the workshop notes on the subject of fliers for the ventriloquist act. I should mention I am a fan of the adult audience ventriloquist shows such as ventriloquist Otto and George. If you are a ventriloquist for children audiences the example photo can still be used for notes. When I performed live for children audiences my fliers were very bright and colorful, even though I am a adult audience entertainer I still have business cards and fliers for children shows and children audiences, my business office files were for all audiences. if you are just a specific audience entertainer then your business files of advertising should be focused on that target audience. I have said many times I can not write a kids joke at all because my entertainment back ground is adult entertainment. I am a writer of my own material, I can not write material for kid audiences but my studies of children shows give me the knowledge to entertain them.. don’t let the example flyer distract you on your own flyer, if your fliers are attention grabbing then that’s what these notes are about, a flyer that makes a person say out loud “I want to go see this ventriloquist show!”

7 tips setting up your ventriloquist show. #rkpshows

on this workshop notes, we are going to briefly take a quick look at setting up your ventriloquist show for live kids audiences, such as for libraries and preschools or even the boys and girls club.

In this note taking and study we will use the photo for the blue print for the subject. we will start with the room,# 1. look at the room in the photo, some school class rooms can have the chairs and tables moved to another location to provide more space, space for your stage, most libraries have a room that is used for meetings and entertainment,this room has plenty of space. # 2. Let’s take a look at the audience, the audience is sitting on the floor, this is good for kids because they are comfortable sitting or laying on the floor, they will also be looking upwards slightly at you as if in watching TV while sitting on the floor, in the photo the ventriloquist is at a distance from the audience but if your audience is sitting on the floor you can be near or at a distance they can still see you clearly. # 3 The ventriloquist in the photo is wearing a hands free microphone, these types of microphones are very good for the ventriloquist to use, this type of microphone is directly at mouth level so that speaking is loud and clear, these microphones are wireless or cordless and give you freedom to move around..# 4. if you look in the back ground of the photo you see the audio sound system speaker on a speaker stand, this speaker sound system is good for this room size,most speaker sound system are a pair but this kind is perfect for the kids audiences in a small or medium size room. Let’s take a look at the ventriloquist trunk, # 5. the trunk has the ventriloquist booking information on the front facing the audience, this is good, this is a way of networking or self promo or advertising. Your booking information on your ventriloquist trunk is not just for audiences, it’s also when you are traveling, such as airports, hotel lobbies, small coffee house,bus station, train station, yes I am serious your ventriloquist trunk is a portable billboard. # 6. now I would like you to look at the ventriloquist in the above photo,look at her sitting position, you may want to sit on a bar stool or you might want to sit your ventriloquist figure on a ventriloquist dummy stand during your shows, you may want to sit in a chair how ever you choose to sit make sure the sitting position doesn’t spoil the illusion, what’s the point in speaking with out moving your lips if your little partner don’t look like he or she is talking, this means sit in a way that will create the illusion of life for your ventriloquist figure, sit side by side or close enough where the audience don’t see your arm in your partner back,take a look at the photo,the ventriloquist in the photo sitting position is very good, I can’t see her arm in the ventriloquist puppet back and her ventriloquist puppet look life like. # 7. always arrive early enough to set up your equipment or setup your ventriloquist show,if the show starts at noon try to get there one hour early.

THE VENTRILOQUIST MASK.

on this workshop notes we will mention the ventriloquist mask……….. I had so much fun before I retired from live on stage shows using the ventriloquist mask! I had so much fun and the audience watching did too! putting the ventriloquist mask on the boss face of the company the employees would scream with laughter while I stand next to the boss with a innocent look on my face listening to the words coming out of the big boss of the company mouth. The company or corporate shows are a win win with the ventriloquist mask… I also used my ventriloquist mask at birthday parties having the parents at the birthday party do a rap battle using two ventriloquist masks at the same time. The ventriloquist mask act is called “the human dummy” the human dummy can be done with out the ventriloquist mask where the ventriloquist tap the back of a person neck for them to open and close their mouth while the ventriloquist do the voice and talking. The ventriloquist mask cost less money than a ventriloquist figure, so maybe the human dummy act can be more affordable for some people seeking affordability in show business or entertaining. my ventriloquist mask was so much fun and less work as a ventriloquist because a real good human dummy help me out in the show entertaining the audience. I also like watching other ventriloquists performing the human dummy act on stage because it’s also RAW meaning unrehearsed. The ventriloquist mask is a good item to have in your show business equipment closet. the ventriloquist mask is a show stopper, it’s one hundred percent show business investment in entertainment for the amateur or beginner or the professional ventriloquist.

Ventriloquist artist

on this note workshop we will take a look at the art of ventriloquism. actors come from the theater of many many a century ago and magicians has been around many many centuries, when you look back in time you can see the art of puppetry was all around the world, in fact you can see puppets in some of the oldest countries in the world such as China, Japan and India. as a ventriloquist you are a artist, a artist in the performing arts. study the history of the theater, study the history of the magician, study the history of puppetry. the youth of today in America are erasing history because of lack of teaching, the elderly are here to teach the youth but when there’s no elderly to teach the youth then the youth becomes self destructive in lack of knowledge not knowing where they have been or where they are going, only knowing the now. When there’s history, then there’s learning and when there’s learning there’s knowledge and wisdom. if your friend put his hands in the fire,his hands will burn and if you see your friend do it and then you put your hand in the fire your hand will burn also this is called the monkey see monkey do, in the need of the elderly the lesson of the hand in the fire will be corrected and the monkey see monkey do will gain knowledge…  if you study your art pass, and future you will have wisdom, knowledge is power. it’s okay to study, it’s okay to read, it’s okay to write, it’s okay to grow in your art. If you do not have money for studying of your art,we have resources all over the world to help you in your art, sometimes the best way to study is hands on,this means living and learning that means if you don’t have money you need to enroll yourself in the school of hard knocks, this means learning from your mistakes as you grow in your art. as a artist you want to try out new things when you are in school of hard knocks, you also want to keep notes on what works and what did not work, for an example a joke, a song, a poem, or a standing position in front of an audience. if you can join the elderly artists of your art that would be a wonderful thing for you to do and if you are a elderly artist of a art it would be a wonderful thing for you to share your knowledge and wisdom with the artist of your art. as a artist try to find as much history of your art as you can, I bought a one hundred year old book written by a ventriloquist, the book was old but in good condition. the writer has passed away but his knowledge, his wisdom and his life experiences are still here today.. I am thankful for that one hundred year old book, I study and gather so much knowledge and information from the one hundred year old book. the ventriloquist is for sure a artist that doesn’t get the appreciation that they deserve I mean you never stop learning as a ventriloquist, well, let me speak for myself, I am very busy in the art of ventriloquism, I am never bored, I am never empty, a matter of fact my art is very very tiresome, being a ventriloquist is a positive situation for me, if I didn’t become a artist in the art of ventriloquism I would have became a dummy just like all my friends in highschool and middle school, always getting into trouble.

ventriloquists cash in on the holidays!!

on this workshop notes we are going to take a look at working during holidays, bringing in extra money besides our norm ventriloquist shows. In America a for sure money making holiday for the ventriloquist is Halloween, some people are already afraid of dolls, today on the market you can find many creepy dolls for sale, as a ventriloquist you want to cash in on a spooky show,the creep factor is already there in the art of ventriloquism. If you can put a show together where voices are saying let me out! Let me out! of a coffin ⚰️ and when you go to open the coffin the audience see that it’s empty. I have seen walking ventriloquist dummies,not dummies just one and it’s creepy seeing a ventriloquist dummy walking on it’s own two feet, I don’t know if you can find one these days but if you can, this is for sure a hit show, especially when the ventriloquist dummy starts to walk towards the audience, as a ventriloquist during your holiday show you want to add storytelling, especially for halloween. Before I retired from live on stage shows, I always added games and prizes at my holiday shows. during Christmas time you are Santa Claus and your ventriloquist figure is a elf or your little helper, the Christmas shows are full of prizes, singing songs and storytelling is a wonderful ventriloquist act… during Easter you may be a host more or master of ceremony more than you are a ventriloquist, this means you will not be in one location most of the show, magic tricks are a must to have at your Easter show, egg painting, face painting, Easter egg hunt, and chocolate candy lots and lots of chocolate candy. Your ventriloquist figure can dress up as the Easter bunny or you can use a ventriloquist rabbit puppet. Putting a holiday show together is a very good investment because once you have put the act completely together you can sell it every year of course improving the act each year. What are holiday shows? They’re nothing more than a theme show,a show with content based on a subject.not like a birthday party, a birthday party you’re the live entertainment and what ever you choose to amuse the audience with is up to you not as such with the holidays, for an example if you bring your halloween ventriloquist show to a Christmas party, that will not work out very well for you business wise…so… remember this.there’s celebrations all over the world, as a ventriloquist you would want to study different cultures and traditions, so you can create a ventriloquist act for theses holidays. Irish holidays, Jewish, Chinese holidays, etc. do your homework first, remember you want to celebrate the holidays not offend the holidays no matter the culture, take notes on all good of the celebration, learn some songs of the celebration such as may 5th the Latin holiday. many businesses celebrate the holidays, and may want to hire live entertainment to help the company celebrate the holidays, this is where you can mail your business card or fliers to a business, make sure your business cards are done professionally, always attach a reminder saying “the holidays are here! Please invite ventriloquist so and so to your next celebration 🎈🎈 or party or event” sometimes a Christmas card would be nicer than a business card during Christmas time, on the front of the Christmas card your photo and inside the card your information and asking to be invited to the next company Christmas party as the entertainment!. all contact information included, such as website, phone number, email,etc. Take your time in building your holiday shows, putting a full hour theme show together will take time. always remember there’s a birthday every day, I remember entertaining at birthday party shows, they really kept me busy back in the day, remember this, as a ventriloquist you need to create your own jobs, my show business manager used to say “keep your ear to the ground”.

Over worked and undered paid!!

On this workshop study we will take notes on working in the real world versus working in showbusiness. This study will be short and to the point, these notes will be to give you a view point of thinking with a open mind in the real world. Let’s start with rapper cardi b asking her fans at a concert on a hot day to throw water on her,in return the performer throw a microphone at a fan, let’s talk about Dave Chappelle being attacked on stage by a audience member, let’s mention rapper Drake, audience member throwing items at him on stage. Many many years ago if you were a awful performer the audience members would say BOO! BOOO!! until you leave the stage.I remember Sammy and I performing at a famous comedy club in Hollywood California,most of my career I am a adult entertainer and before going on stage the female comedian on stage before me was performing dirty material and the audience was eating it up,so when I was getting ready to go on stage the club agent said to me “now you keep it clean” I go up on stage doing a clean comedy skit with Sammy but I see the audience was not enjoying the skit so I started doing my dirty comedy skit then the audience was eating it up, the club agent ran to the control booth and turned off the stage lights so then I let Sammy go like a wild dog, the club agent turned off the microphone, Sammy said with out the microphone being on “the sign on door says age 21 and over BUT where the fuck are the milk 🥛 and 🍪 cookies!!!”.. when I walked off stage the club agent said why the hell did you do that, I said for you to keep it clean”, I said to the club agent “I didn’t say anything” the club agent said “I heard all of it!” I said to the club agent “did you see my lips moving” the club agent said “no” I said to the club agent”see now you need to apologize to me” the club agent then lost her mind saying “you said it! you said it! I know you did!!!. true story. What notes can you take from that true story or cardi B or a booing audience or even a bias agent,yes there’s bias club agents, talent scouts, and show business managers, what’s it about, it’s about a up coming star not being in the shadow of another talent,this means you get the crappy gigs and the agent or manager favorite acts get the nice gigs. In the real world at a real job it’s still the same, this means the promotion you have been working very hard for might go to the management favorite employee or friend of the family or even worse, a relative that knows nothing about the job position. keep in mind competition is always in the business world and yes show business is a real business, as a ventriloquist you need to stay ahead of the competition and you may ask who’s my competition as a ventriloquist, I will quote a line from a movie call “the professional” the quote is “EVERYONE!!” except the Lords of the art. in the real world you may work 12 hours shifts at a job, let’s be clear you are living someone else’s dream, let’s come to a understanding you never see the owner of the company that you work for or nearly see them much, you are the little person with a big dream just like the owner of the company that you work for, say to yourself if the owner of this company can have his or her dream why can’t I?.sure we all need to make a living, and living should be what we enjoy doing, and enjoying living. My first job ever was performing as a ventriloquist, I was In middle school traveling with a trunk with a ventriloquist doll inside name Sammy, all I knew was ventriloquism, my friends was doing crime to make money or to eat,but not me, I had Sammy and the art of ventriloquism. when I met my high school sweetheart life became not so sweet, she tossed me in to the real world with all her might, I’ve became a work acholic for her with a real job in the real world, before meeting my highschool sweetheart I was a work acholic for ventriloquism.today I can look at both sides of the coin of the real world and show business,this is what I see, the writers are on strike in Hollywood, because of the new comer AI, los Angeles city workers are on strike, what do both of these subjects have in common, what they have in common is unions. read this workshop notes twice, you’ll find useful information that you can brainstorm for your ventriloquist career. we covered so much ground on this subject,we talked about competition,we talked about bias,we talked about self sufficient, we talked about real world versus show business world..can the Hollywood writers win against AI,the answer is there’s always competition and there’s always new up and coming and the new up and coming will not be in the shadow so as I quote the line from the movie called the professional “EVERYONE!!”…in closing I would like to say my highschool sweetheart base on this subject was for an example of becoming unionized,this means I was no longer working for my passion or for myself.

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.

Ventriloquist career?

can the art of ventriloquism be a career? are notes on this subject. The answers are up to you, yes or no. what is a career? let’s talk about the mad scientist in his basement looking for the answer to help the three legged cat walk again, believe it or not this man in the basement has a career as a so call mad scientist. a career is not a job, the elementary school child in a play, then in drama class in middle school, then in highschool drama class and entering college theatre,this child has followed a field of being a actor or actress. a child finding a joy in ventriloquism, will become a student in many art forms such as acting, writing, animation, puppetry, magician, music,dolls, speech, and storytelling, as this child grows so will the knowledge of study. Just like the mad scientist in the basement looking for the answer for the three legged cat to walk. a career is a life long investment in a field of study of doing something, “something” a master of “something” yes you can have a ventriloquist career and not have wealth, or be famous, a career is “something” a person do, it’s what they love no matter the financial situation. Their are doctors that go to poor countries to work, not for money but for the career subject, being a doctor is who they are and what they are. The child in the elementary School play will someday achieve the ultimate goal and more. being a ventriloquist is not just one subject,so remember having a ventriloquist career is a lot of work, it’s study after study, it’s practice daily, it’s rehearsal and more rehearsal, it’s creating, it’s inventions, it’s being a actor, it’s being a comedian, it’s being a magician, it’s being a clown, it’s being a voice actor, it’s being a puppeteer, it’s being a singer, it’s being a storyteller, it’s being a writer, it’s being a poet, it’s it’s being, maybe I better stop here,I don’t want to make you afraid of having a ventriloquist career..as you can see you have a very busy career as a ventriloquist and let me say all that I have mentioned above are subjects you need to study,not master but have them in your back ground but I say it would be nice to take a class or course on some of them, and even some research on those subjects would help you in your ventriloquist career.

POSITIONS of the ventriloquist.

To me it doesn’t matter if you are the greatest ventriloquist in the world once I see your arm sticking out the back working the doll dummy, that’s wright DOLL DUMMY because now that’s what it is to me, I am out! I seen Edgar Bergen lips moving but he still kept me hooked in to the world of make believe, he provided an escape from the real world into the world of imagination, Charlie McCarthy was a character created by Edgar Bergen that I still watch today, when a ventriloquist turn the ventriloquist figure head in a complete circle I am done with the ventriloquist act but when Edgar Bergen did it with Charlie McCarthy just a couple times I stayed hooked in to the world of imagination,me believing Charlie McCarthy was not being hurt in the world of imagination,I think when Bergen did it he warned the audience beforehand and made it fun, this is what happened.. a actress asked Charlie if he could do this,then the actress turns in a full circle and Charlie McCarthy head turn in a full circle after her, when other ventriloquists do this bit or skit, it’s used as a punchline,this punchline might get you laughs but it takes all the magic away and remember this… ventriloquists are magicians also…..the notes on this subject of the ventriloquist positions are stand shoulder to shoulder with your little ventriloquist partner so the audience doesn’t see your arm moving in the back, I must say that I am not the only ventriloquist don’t think that the ventriloquist figure head should be turned backwards or in a full circle,I have seen a few professional ventriloquists in teaching say the same but my thing is the arm,I don’t know what it is, when I see the ventriloquist arm moving in the back of the figure it takes all the fun out, it’s like a couple years back a mid evil time show had a Pepsi or cola can sitting on a table in the film, people were very vocal about that, I think the name of the movie was “Thor” not quite sure but my point is your audience is your audience for a reason.please note Watch your ventriloquist positions on the stage, maybe sit or stand but what ever you choose remember you are a magician, don’t let your audience see your secret.. ln this part I want to share a true story about being a ventriloquist and studying the art of a magician, when I was a very young boy Sammy and I would do storytime at preschools theses preschool shows lead to shows for birthday parties,one-day I did a birthday party where the mother was so,so, I don’t know, okay, here is what happened… so I am packing up after the show has ended and the birthday child mother and father approach me as I’m packing up,Sammy is sitting on top of his ventriloquist trunk,the father is saying to me your really good, I really enjoy the show, the mother is looking at Sammy as if, I don’t know,she touched Sammy hand,the mother asked me is he real? then she asked me do he talk to me by himself, I looked at the mother and father and the father carried his wife away. I will never forget that day, DAMN I’M GOOD! ps: you ventriloquists nowadays talk too much.

VENTRILOQUIST DUMMY!!!

Let’s take notes on purchasing your ventriloquist partner. Choose a ventriloquist figure that you like looking at simply because you are going to be spending a lot of time together..in the beginning you may not have the money to get the ventriloquist partner that you really want so a sock will be just fine to get you started. A handmade sock puppet is very affordable,so start performing with a nice looking sock puppet,start practicing with a nice looking sock puppet and start rehearsing with the nice looking sock puppet. When you’re ready for the ventriloquist figure that you really want then lay the sock puppet down and pick up the ventriloquist dummy that you really want, doing it this way you don’t miss a beat, you can continue on going because the only thing that changed was the ventriloquist figure. Let me be clear maybe the sock puppet is the ventriloquist partner that you really want, many famous ventriloquist use a sock puppet, and many professional ventriloquist use sock puppet. I used all types of ventriloquist dummies on stage, I have own some very expensive ventriloquist figure and I prefer the semi pro ventriloquist doll, simply because I am a writer and the material is what I mainly focus on.when I use a full size professional ventriloquist figure on stage it seems to be distraction to me, the semi pro is light weight and in my eyes view,this means easy for animation and control. The word on the street is the professional size ventriloquist dummy is good for close up and distance audiences, but I have used semi-pro ventriloquist figures for far and near audiences,it works for me because of the comedy writing. do you need a professional size ventriloquist figure? only you can answer that question, but remember you are a ventriloquist and a ventriloquist is a artist and a creator,this means what works for Willie Tyler and Lester or Terry fator or the ventriloquist at your birthday party might not work for you.

being a ventriloquist you are a actor, being a ventriloquist you are a magician. Your ventriloquist partner will help you fulfill both these skills. The reason the ventriloquist speaks with out moving the lips is because the ventriloquist is a magician creating an illusion that the voice is coming from the ventriloquist figure, the actor is in the ventriloquist figure that he is a real person and the great illusion is creating “the illusion of life” what is the illusion of life?… the illusion of life is what ventriloquist Megan piphus is very skillful at,and I must also say standing directly in front of ventriloquist Willie Tyler and Lester is like being in a dream,I am a ventriloquist but it’s still kinda spooky,.let me give you a true story of creating the illusion of life effect by ventriloquist Willie Tyler and Lester,one day I was a volunteer as a teenager for one of Willie Tyler and Lester skits, you know where the performer ask for a volunteer from the audience to come up on stage,well there I was on stage in front of a live large audience,I always wanted to meet Lester and boy let me tell you did I meet Lester!,I was not even one feet from him when Lester started to talk to me, I felt like wow this is really something, like just amazing. lester seem so real, so life like,I will never forget that day…I said all that to say choose the ventriloquist partner you really want and your magic will come to life.

My older brother was a artist, he could paint and make cartoons, my younger brother could dance and me well, I could write, and I could make people laugh with humor..some people may say That they don’t have any talent or gifts or even a hobby..I would watch my younger brother 😲 WOW the people watching him dance with dance moves,I so wish I could dance,yes I was a fan of my younger brother,he was a poplocker dancer and a breakdancer, back in the day of the booga loo dancer,my younger brother was very popular as a street dancer, they had dance crews that were like gangs my brother was always being challenged, sometimes we would have to run away because of so many challengers,my younger brother name is won and his dance street name was the magic won.. anytime there’s a dance battle a lot of people would stop what ever they are doing and run to watch the dance battle, you would see store owners, fathers,mothers,the mailman every body running to the show down of the dance battle in the middle of the street. dance crews versus other dance crews, teammates against other team mates, the magic won stood alone and he loved being a pop locker,day and night working on new dance moves,he even let me help him in his creating, he was amazing, in fact I witnessed some amazing pop lockers and breakdancers calling out my younger brother I would snatch him and run, I would say don’t do it! don’t do it because I knew the challenge was way to great for the magic won and sometimes my younger brother would just pose at the challenger but would not bust a move, I would ask later why you didn’t bust back he would laugh and say I am stealing, meaning he is going to take the challenger moves make them his moves then come back and clown the guy with his own moves, he said that guy can’t step with me!

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.

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.

Self taught ventriloquist

Some ventriloquists learn how to become a ventriloquist by teaching themselves, being a poor young man I learned where ever I could, if it was from a professional over phone or in person or books or video or audio. You need to understand my circumstance as a little boy living in the ghetto,most kids were singers, dancers, rappers,and roasters of comedy,I was a writer in elementary school, I could write poetry,I could write jokes,I write songs, I could write stories but being a roaster of comedy or a rapper or singer, I was not very good at. Learning to become a ventriloquist help me bring forward my writing in storytelling and singing and being a rapper and being a roaster of comedy, even show off some dance moves as a dancer…in learning to become a ventriloquist there are some classes you should take for study to advance your career as a ventriloquist, let’s take a look at some…#1,acting and theater..#2, speaking or speach and a lesson with a voice coach..4,magic…#5,puppetry…#6, history art..#7,a brief study on dolls..#8, health,in lungs-breathing.

What’s the difference between fliers and business cards?

Advertising and marketing is very important for a ventriloquist. some ventriloquists may have been in show business for many years and may have not known how self promotion works. here we take notes on understanding the business of the eyes for the a pro or beginner ventriloquist. A flier or fliers means now or at this time,if you give out fliers that means it is happening now,if you give out a business card it means let’s talk, let’s do business let’s make a flier or maybe I will do business with you in the near or far future. A business card is information for getting in contact with a individual or anything like that,a flier is a event happening now or a showing of a ventriloquist show with date, time,and location.fliers are hand to hand, fliers are passed out to the public, a business card is passed out to a private person,not everyone get your business card, unless they visit your private business or you give it to them privately so basically fliers are for the public and business cards are for personal or private.if someone has your business card it means some way some how it was a private dealing. Let’s talk about brochures, are brochures still needed today,I say yes,a brochure is a small magazine or booklet of your ventriloquist act or show,it is a business card and a flier combine together, brochures can be used for private like a business card or public like a flier but keep in mind that a brochure is usually to impress, it’s something like a tuxedo,so keep that in mind.let’s talk about websites, it’s ok to have a website for your ventriloquist business,now let’s be clear we live in a time of social media,but this study is on business and marketing and I truly believe the business card and fliers and the brochures are better to do business and marketing, simply because people want to do business with you not a computer,the best business people get their hands dirty, when the phone ring they answer on the first ring, I think a website is the computer version of brochure but if you have a show that’s a web show then do your show online but I am speaking on the subject of business, meaning put your website show on a flier for the public,give your business card to special guests for your website show and have a brochure for business office meetings.me personally doing business is a up close and personal encounter,so meeting at a coffee shop and having a cup coffee to discuss business is good if the deal is a big deal,I think going out to dinner with clients for business deals as a team merger is a good thing such as meeting the writer,the actors,the production crew and such,I think a zoom meeting is a good way to conduct business,but not deals,deals should be done face to face or have your representative stand in for you..when I was a young boy my manager would sign show deals for me,these show deals are written contracts that can be used in small claims court or civil court,they were called show agreements between the management company and the client. when you become a professional ventriloquist you do more business than show,so if you make a living being a ventriloquist,be happy and go do business. I tell you having a manager as a young ventriloquist made me very happy, because before I joined the band of musicians with their manager, I was my own manager so when I was hired to be a opening act for the band of musicians manager company, I could just have fun being a ventriloquist. not saying anything bad about the ventriloquist business or show business,I am saying show business is a business more than a show…..so some audiences have no clue that doing a show is actually work, when they see the ballet dancers on stage some audiences have no idea of training and study learning to be a ballet dancer or the ventriloquist on stage speaking with out moving his/her lips while playing two characters and animating one and remember your lines,so me having a manager to do the business part was a big help for me,so if you like to join a talent management company, I say that is fine,but I say for a ventriloquist you don’t need to join a talent agency unless you are a world famous ventriloquist or something like that but me personally I say even if you’re a world famous ventriloquist the talent management company is a better business deal.

CAN A SHY PERSON BECOME A VENTRILOQUIST.

Can a shy person become a ventriloquist is a good question because shy people miss out on many opportunities because of the shyness.. here are some notes and tips for the shy person that would like to become a ventriloquist or maybe you are a ventriloquist but you are shy. Being a ventriloquist and you have a nervous problems with speaking in front of people or just being in front of an audience is basically normal and healthy but don’t become so afraid you freak out, when I get on stage of course I am nervous, nervous of what? is the question,first of all you want to be there, other wise you would have not showed up, another thing you want to perform otherwise you would not be on stage,so being nervous is a natural functioning of your body and emotions. All eyes are on you,you are now the beautiful girl in the room,you have all the attention,you are a super hero with super powers when you are on stage,the people are looking up because you’re a giant like king Kong,then you think to yourself these people are here to see me,these people want to see my super powers, while I am up here on stage I am their hero,why should I be afraid,I can make them happy,I can give them an escape from their troubles,I can bring them joy,I can make them dance,I can amuse them, I can thrill them,I can amaze them,I can give them make believe. All these wonderful thoughts you can be thinking before going in front of a live audience,then you will understand more about being nervous which is part of being shy.always remember being a ventriloquist you have a little helper with you,so if you ever get too nervous or too shy lean on your ventriloquist partner to help you out, bring to my mind, rehearsal rehearsal rehearsal with your ventriloquist partner just for this very moment,yes it’s been a few times when I forget my lines on stage and my ventriloquist partner name Sammy would step in to help me get back on track, so the more you practice with your ventriloquist partner the better your confidence will be, I don’t know what it is but many professional ventriloquist has recorded that sometimes on stage the ventriloquist partner take on a life of it’s own.practice and rehearsal will help you with your shyness. Before you take on any serious shows, I really think you should stay with the family and friends shows for a while, family and friends shows are audience members that you know not strangers like at a concert stage event. The family and friends audiences are safe for you to build up your ventriloquist act and skills. if your brother or sister are getting married you make sure that you be the wedding entertainer, at your friends birthday parties you make sure that you be the live entertainment,at your family Christmas party make sure your ventriloquist act is the perfect gift.how to move up to the next level from family and friends shows would be at your job office party such as a celebration or promotion or Christmas party or in your school class room,or school play, this is you leaving the family and friends shows slowly easing into the public shows, because you want to get control of being shy in front of a live audience, the problem with shy entertainers is that they are nervous around strangers, going from family and friends to classmates and coworkers will train and educate the ventriloquist that is shy with stage and audience lessons.this will take time but it is good learning time,to learn how to be comfortable on stage and comfortable in front of a audience, because it’s nothing like having sweat in your eyes on stage from being nervous.I think all “ALL” ventriloquists should start with family and friends shows then ease out to the public shows,I also think a ventriloquist should always study and create not only focus on the stage shows or being a performer even if that is the main goal,I think a ventriloquist should go see other ventriloquist shows even if you’re not a fan, I really think the big guy should come down off his high horse to visit the little guy,give the amateur ventriloquist some support or feedback then the shy ventriloquist will have more confidence in themselves,what this means is a ventriloquist like Willie Tyler or Jeff Dunham should encourage the unknown ventriloquist or help them push forward. I tell you the truth I will never ever forget speaking to ventriloquist Willie Tyler and Lester on the phone as a middle school ventriloquist,never ever will I forget!we talked about ten minutes or so,he didn’t know me but he is world famous and he took the time to talk to this poor little ventriloquist boy living in the ghetto,he gave me hope and he gave me drive to achieve my ventriloquist dream.

I AIN’T GOT NO MONEY!

We are going to learn how to be a broke ventriloquist and be good at it.you are so broke you took a penny out your pocket and Abraham Lincoln was wearing sunglasses, you’re so broke your kitchen refrigerator is boney.yes say out loud I am a broke ventriloquist! If you don’t have money for a ventriloquist figure,I will give you some tips and notes on how you can still be a broke ass ventriloquist and be a good one.first let’s think about what can your broke ass use for entertaining a audience,…puppet,you can draw a face on your hands and use your hands for your stage partner, your hands will not cost you anything,.. voice,if you practice and study far ventriloquism which is also called the distant voice you can use vocal illusion for a magic trick or show,also study vocal magic or magic with your voice.. voice,you can have a conversation with a voice inside a trunk or shoebox,also the telephone voice is a little lower than the distance voice if you learn the telephone voice you can have a telephone conversation with a voice that seems to speaking from the phone, another one is called the baby cry,I did the baby cry effect many times,I hold a baby that’s crying in a blanket on stage in front of a audience and no matter what I do the baby will not stop crying, so I throw the blacket with the baby inside high up in the air the empty blanket lands on the stage floor,..sounds, if you can make different animal sounds, you can create some routines using animal sounds,I had a cat inside a box “meow” but when I open the box,the box was empty,..audience volunteer, the human dummy is a very popular ventriloquist bit,where a real person stand next to the ventriloquist, every time the ventriloquist tap the back of the person neck the person open their mouth with out making a sound and the ventriloquist provide the voice… you’re walking on stage when a voice says ouch! get off me!! you look down at your feet and a voice says you are standing on top of me, you take your shoes off and put your socks on your hands,now you’re singing with a sock puppet…the thing about be a broke ventriloquist is that you need to study, practice, rehearsal and rehearsal, be creative and you will make up the differences with out money,but I do want to say you should grow as you advance,this means if you start off using your sock as a stage partner that sock should become better and better, you may always be a broke ass ventriloquist but you will be very good at being one.

______________________________________________

(I am a broke ass ventriloquist with no show in my business) these notes are based on getting your broke ass some shows.. first you need to pull pockets inside out to make sure it’s not a penny in there, next open your wallet and start counting,not dollars bills but I.O.U. bills. let’s start with appearance, your appearance as a broke ass ventriloquist is very important,you may not have money for brand new clothes so buy a second hand or find a outfit that you can wear just for show business,nice pants,nice shoes,nice shirt and even a nice jacket,keep this outfit in a clear clean bag on a hanger,keep a low price bottle of perfume or body freshener, have a shaving kit available, mouth wash and so on. if you are so broke of a ventriloquist that you can not get any show bookings with business cards and fliers,what you need to do is start at the bottom,and this would be creating your own shows,how? by standing on the street corner,no dummy! not that! I am talking about becoming a street performer, being a street performer is a good way to start from the bottom and work your way up, some places to be a street performer you need a permit and permits cost money but your broke ass don’t have any money,so you need to find your own spot, usually where people go shopping or travel or gather, choose a spot or location or street where you can build your audience,now remember this your broke ass is trying to build an audience,why? because you big dummy you don’t want to be a broke ass ventriloquist anymore,so being at this spot at the same time on a chosen day is very important, let’s say Sunday from nine a.m. to ten a.m. you will be there doing your ventriloquist act,also remember being a street artist your appearance is very important and your attitude towards your gathering crowd is very important, so please have a good attitude,next have a tip jar so people that enjoy your performance can drop a tip or donation in the jar,after the show is over you should be dreaming about someday your ventriloquist act growing bigger and bigger,enjoy your street spot,keep it clean before and after your street performance.. ventriloquist Otto and George started out as street performers and today he’s world known,he is my favorite next to Megan piphus and Edgar Bergen.maybe you should become a student of ventriloquist Otto and George,he was a very raunchy ventriloquist but he is the master of street artist ventriloquists,also another street artist ventriloquist is the on the train ventriloquist with hot chocolate, you may want to become a student also.. keep in mind Starting out as a broke ass ventriloquist has potential.

VENTRILOQUIST STRATEGY TOOL ‘DIVIDE AND CONQUER’

In this study on business we are going to take notes on making money by stretching the audience. let’s begin by mentioning theses notes are for the ventriloquist that speaks more than one language. The title is correct our notes are based on strategy to devide and conquer,the tool is language. First let’s get it wright, when you use this strategy you will not combine the audience, because you are focused on accumulation of funds..in this strategy for example if you speak French and English you will perform only for French speaking audience then after business become slow in the French speaking audience you move on to the English speaking audiences, simply meaning to set up shop and then move on to the next community or town or country. The Spanish classes you had taken in middle school can now pay off for you in your ventriloquist career, why do not mix the audiences because this is a strategy for financial gain, there’s some places that only speak one language and if you speak that one language then you are in business to provide a service for them and that service is your ventriloquist act.. if you live in America and speak German, African,etc, that means you can travel world wide for your shows,then return back to America to do shows.as a ventriloquist you are a communicator and speech is communication so if you can communicate in many different languages then you are in a win win situation.what you want to do is keep your ventriloquist act the same only change the language. for an example if you sing in Spanish as a ventriloquist then set up shop for the English speaking audiences then sing the same songs in English. The idea is to take advantage of communicating to more audiences.take a look at your television,how many different stations it has for it’s viewing audience, when you walk up to atm machine it ask you for a language,or when you call a business on a phone call,press one for English press two for Spanish, you as a ventriloquist can use that same concept if you speak more than one language. Use this tool for a traveling ventriloquist act, when business become slow in one language, move to the next language for business,this is why you do not combine the audiences so you can keep working,if you combine the audiences using this tool strategy then when business is slow it’s slow all over,so the French community speaking audiences become like the television, change the station to the Japanese speaking audiences if you speak Japanese and French but never do both audiences at the same time because of resources,you want to stay in business, use your resources wisely.think of it as growing two trees one tree has apples 🍎 and one tree has oranges 🍊 when the apple tree is running low on fruits go over to the orange tree then by the time the orange tree is running low on fruits the apple tree will be fruitful again then you move back over to the apple tree and back and back and back you go,now just think if you pick fruit from both trees at the same time.

THE CHOSEN ONE

in every art there are a chosen one battles,in the hoods and ghetto they’re called battles, such as Micheal Jackson versus prince, Edgar Bergen versus Paul Winchell, Dunham and Lucas.. it’s a grab of the fan base,a box office ticket sell..America got talent created two chosen one for the art of ventriloquism but had know idea that they did so. Those two ventriloquist are Darci Lynne farmer and Megan piphus..as we look back in time audiences can feel the rivalry with Paul Winchell and Edgar Bergen,edger Bergen and Charlie McCarthy was a classic smooth act and Paul Winchell and Jerry Mahoney was energetic as in saying move over old man there’s a new kid in town..Paul knew about these rumors of ventriloquist rivalry because he admits on a ventriloquism lesson vhs tape he was making at the time when he was up in his age “I am a Bergen man, I always was a Bergen man”,in show business there will always be up and coming new artists but theses two queens of the art of ventriloquism are really making a dent in history…let us honor Megan piphus, she has made history in the art of ventriloquism, as the first black woman on sesame street,she brought the art to America got talent television, she sing opera as a ventriloquist and most importantly her ventriloquist figure tells “yo momma jokes” and I am a fan of yo momma jokes, she’s a very good speaker, her stage presence is very professional, if you are a beginner artist Megan piphus is good for research and study learning,she is a student of Sheri Lewis.. let’s mention our second queen of the art of ventriloquism, Darci Lynne farmer won the America got talent golden buzzer after Megan piphus appearance on America’s got talent, Darci Lynne farmer was surely a chosen one starring in a real feature film after America got talent, Darci Lynne farmer is very important to the art of ventriloquism because on a world famous television show her words “I want to keep the art of ventriloquism alive” help your new queen keep the art alive by supporting her.. we can advance our art no matter what the art may be,by participating in the art,you may not be Megan or Darci but you can be a very good cheerleader.

HOW TO OMG! YOUR AUDIENCE!!

When I was a very young ventriloquist I would write bits and skits for just shocking the audience,my Sammy is a rebel child so he enjoyed acting a fool in front of an audience, mainly me being the punching bag for sammy punchlines,of course sammy acting like a out of control smart mouth brat was a 😳 omg! sell out skit,this was a very known comedy skit of mine where I step back and let sammy go off like a wild dog,there I stand in the shadow of sammy watching the audience enjoy the rebel child throw his cheap shots at the punching bag, this skit is a freestyle ventriloquist act so even I don’t know what sammy is going to do or say,but I am always ready to jump back in to bring it back into control, always have a plan B, this skit is a improv act,it is off the cuffs and it is a freestyle act and it was a very successful audience pleaser,I think people love to see the rebel child take down the “man” or “authority figure” maybe that’s why the sammy acting a fool act was a successful skit because here you have the little guy taking on a bigger guy and the bigger guy would be me,so I think it’s more like the little guy being a bully to the big guy… Another skit was a walk around skit,I would go out in the audience with a hand puppet to have the puppet greet people in the audience, the puppet would try to shake hands with people,the puppet would try to kiss people and hug people, some people even ran away from the puppet..why? Because the puppet was a skunk 🦨 puppet that stinks, I mean this puppet STANK! the skunk puppet favorite line, “what did you expect from a skunk puppet made from a ventriloquist dirty old sock.” if you choose to use this bit routine,make sure you only use food products to create the smell,also wear one of those gloves 🧤 the doctors wear under the skunk puppet,make sure no audience members kiss the skunk or hug or touch, even though the skunk is asking for a kiss or hug or hand shake,make sure after the show you watch the skunk puppet, when traveling with this skunk skit keep skunk puppet in a trash bag,how I created the skunk smell, before I arrived at the show I put the skunk puppet in a bag with tuna juice,onions, garlic salt,and a little bit of urine,yes urine, this is the day of the show,so be sure the puppet is dry, remember you only need the scent so let that skunk puppet go swimming in that trash bag with all the stinky ingredients you put inside the bag,then let the puppet dry then put the skunk puppet in a dry clean trash bag for travel to your ventriloquist performances.. what I think about the skunk bit routine is that being a ventriloquist you only use the audiences eyes and ears with this skunk puppet bit you use the 👃 nose too!

THE FALL APART VENTRILOQUIST FIGURE

How to OMG audience, here is away to really get laughs.. during your ventriloquist act the dummy starts to fall apart, the legs fall off, the arms fall off,the eyes pop out, the mouth stop working,and for more comedy and laughter the ventriloquist uses duck tape to try to put the parts on,ending the ventriloquist act with a dummy mummy. I used this act a few times, it’s a very successful skit, because I built the fall apart body myself, the mouth wasn’t broken I just pretended like it was broken,so at the end of the act the ventriloquist figure is wrapped up in duck tape, everything except the mouth, the ventriloquist figure and the ventriloquist end the act with a song.

ANOTHER STUDY OF EDGAR BERGEN.

in some studying on ventriloquist Edgar Bergen,we take notes on, Edgar Bergen wanted to be a comedian actor,he sure was a very good artist as we watch him paint with a pencil charlie McCarthy before charlie McCarthy was created, edgar Bergen knew exactly what he wanted to be when he was a child, just like basketball super star Kobe Bryant and let me mention comedian Eddie Murphy. Edgar Bergen never changed his mind, about what he wanted to do in his life,he wanted to be a comedy actor and he found that dream and that goal as a ventriloquist, Edgar Bergen was more of a actor than a ventriloquist,very good pretender at best,let me clear it up more, Edgar Bergen worked in a movie theater working the film projector, records mention Edgar Bergen would practice with Charlie McCarthy at work, watching professional actors on screen for training is a very very good idea,then you go practice what you seen on screen at work, Edgar Bergen wanted to be in show business and ventriloquism was the way in, as a shy person resources may be unreachable,not if you have a wooden partner to bounce off of. the career of ventriloquist Edgar Bergen is mind blowing, in the study you will find when Edgar Bergen performs it’s nothing more than a comedy dialogue written in a play,this is why Edgar Bergen did very well on radio, he was like Denzel Washington a very believable actor.edger Bergen was his own writer also, people could not see Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy on the radio and thought they were listening to two people,a trick of the trade, before television people only seen Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy in the cartoon image,but when Edgar Bergen found out he would be in films,he begin to work on charlie McCarthy image to become more life like or human like,not to disappoint his radio audience that was now becoming viewers,that is just mind blowing to me,why? Because people never seen charlie McCarthy, they only hear him on the radio,so it’s theater of the mind, so to bring the audience imagination into real life is amazing! how do you think of something like that, usually you going from radio to film you probably would focus on yourself but Edgar Bergen focus on the illusion,this is a ventriloquist skill called,”the illusion of life” ventriloquist Willie Tyler and Lester are very good at creating the illusion of life effects. Edgar Bergen was a master actor, people seen his lips moving while performing on stage but still believed in his magic.

COMBINE TALENT

The best way to make performing on stage easy for you as a ventriloquist is to put together a verity show, such as if you can dance open or close your show with a tap dance or ballet or hip-hop or whatever your dancing skills may be,now you have a ventriloquist act and a dance routine,if you can perform as a magician add it to your show,now you have a ventriloquist act,dance routine and magic tricks,so you own exotic pets,if you can keep the audience safe add the exotic pets to your ventriloquist show,I think this exotic pet act would probably be a speaking show where you are telling the audience about these pets,if you are a fashion designer add it to your ventriloquist act,I did library shows when I was in highschool for promotional reasons,it was called storytime and I would read a story to after school kids while Sammy my ventriloquist figure provide plenty of punchlines of comedy,theses shows lead me to paid shows, because I would have business card and fliers available during storytime,so maybe memorize a few children stories practice the story with your figure, rewrite the story to add lines for your figure then add a storyteller skit to your show,now you have a dance routine, magic tricks, a exotic pet show! and a very entertaining storytelling skit and then you add different ventriloquist figures now you have characters of a theater play with different personalities. combine talent keep you busy on stage,as you move from add on to add on,if you play a instrument add it to your show,such as the trumpet or saxophone. maybe you are a artist that paint,add it to your ventriloquist act. combine talent when arranged in perfect order could make a smooth performance.

YOU’RE A PRO VENTRILOQUIST BUT DO NOT WANT TO DO FREE SHOWS.

a professional anything can not do a profession for free, it’s not professional,it would be unprofessional to perform for free,this is why professionals have a agent or union rep, and managers to protect the entertainer from being taken advantage of, in some cases it’s okay for a professional ventriloquist to do free shows.let’s say you get paid as a freelance ventriloquist, or semi pro ventriloquist, most semi pro or freelance ventriloquist don’t have an agent or manager, in many cases a semi-pro work on a lower pay than the professional ventriloquist,and on a budget, neither performers want to not make money,in a case where not making money will lead to making money for the professional or semi pro, getting exposure is a good way to get a opportunity,so when business is slow,go out on a exposure event, exposure is not really performing for free, it’s some what a sample of your talent, remember in the exposure event you do not want to go full out, it’s just a demonstration of your skill at a place you are visiting and looking to generate some business, remember your business is slow so this exposure event you want to be seen and heard,even a large photo poster is good for some exposure. you can get some exposure from anywhere, anyplace, anytime, on an airplane flight, show off your ventriloquist skills to the person sitting next to you and word of mouth is also another way to get exposure, remember when on this exposure event have your information ready to give your potential audience members,also remember no matter how slow business is going for you don’t push your booking information on anyone, what you want is your short demonstration to do the talking for you, then the person will be interested and ask for your information, remember to always let people know your status such as I am a semi pro or professional or amateur or just do it for family and friends or just for fun,why, because this give people a price range idea with out asking, in a conversation mention where you do shows such as weddings and birthday parties and this will give your potential audience members a booking engagement, remember to be polite no matter what,if they’re not interested good if they are interested good, you are on a exposure event and it’s to be seen and heard,even if your demonstration is ten seconds, mission accomplished,a quick telephone trick is quick and easy for a ventriloquist, everyone has a telephone, making someone dog talk, theses days everyone has a dog,it would be shocking to the dog owners when they’re dogs start taking. Theses exposure event should never be over exposed,give them a taste and that’s it, nothing more nothing less, if they want more,well, you know what to do next.

THE ART OF THE PEN

when you sit down to come up with a ventriloquist act, writing is very important, always write your ideas down,so later down the line you can take a look back at where you left off or for remember those ideas, it’s nothing like idea entering your mind and not having a ink pen to write it down,or a recording device, you should write down a quick joke you hear when out and about,then edit or rewrite to fit you.

The workshop

In this workshop you will get as much information as possible that you will not find anywhere else, simple because this workshop is created just for that purpose.let me revisit my beginner years as a ventriloquist,when I had to learn the art of ventriloquism on my own sure as I grow in the art I take classes on the craft of the performing arts but those classes cost money and I was poor, finding out how expensive the art of ventriloquism or to be a ventriloquist is but after as I learned how to make the art enjoyable the art became affordable. In this workshop it’s based on information for you the ventriloquist, simply because I met many professional ventriloquist but they didn’t share or give me any information on the art of ventriloquism.I hope this workshop will give you some tips on show business,I hope this workshop give some ideas.when I found the art of ventriloquism,I eat,sleep and breathe the art, I was so happy that I could do something, my big brother was a cartoonist he could draw and paint, my little brother could dance and wow the audience but as a child I could write but I could not wow a audience with my writing but then came a ventriloquist doll name sammy.
