when you are a level 1 amateur you are demonstrating your skills and talents to the viewing audiences.
When you are a level 2 amateur, you are a artist, you are a creator of your creation.

What is the difference between levels 1 and 2
number two is the development of a original artist. This means your style, your Craft, your way, This is the finished product.
To explain it more clearer, level 1 is a high school diploma and level 2 is a college degree. now I do not want to babysit you on this subject, I want you to think about a student that graduated with a high school diploma and a student that graduated with a college degree. The difference is that they both are students but one has more knowledge than the other and knowledge is power...the level 1 amateur will enter the pro level with a high school diploma and the level 2 amateur will enter the pro level with a college degree.
When you are in your beginning stages you will have all the time to study and practice but when you enter the level of the amateur you will be too busy working on your Ventriloquist act and gradually moving up to level 2 amateur status. so remember the beginning level is very very very important, practice and study and be a cheerleader for the professionals, support the professionals. so don't ever think being a beginner is not important, stay at the beginners level as long as you can, learn as much as you can, practice as much as you can, spend as much time as you can with your Ventriloquist character as you can, think about what you would like to do in the art of ventriloquism, think about what professional Ventriloquist you would like to meet, think about your favorite Ventriloquist character, watch Ventriloquist movies, go see Ventriloquists concerts and shows. as a beginner Ventriloquist you should treat the art as you would a bff best friends forever. I remember my beginner level years, they were very very very wonderful times, I went to see Ventriloquist Willie tyler and Lester perform live on stage many times when I were a young kid, every time a ventriloquist was on television I was over joyed to watch them. I didn't have a lot of money when I was growing up as a young Ventriloquist but I bought anything I could afford of Ventriloquism, I spent a lot of time at the public library studying the art of ventriloquism and puppetry and theater of arts... as a amateur Ventriloquist you will be working on jokes and songs and skits and comedy routines and focused on time rehearsal and putting together your fashion style for you and outfits for your Ventriloquist character, WOW! busy busy busy and that's why they call it show business.
