Learning the gypsy life will give you a insite on becoming a traveling ventriloquist. Learning the life of a gypsy will teach you how to create a traveling ventriloquist career. adding a gypsy life style to your Ventriloquist career can bring a new way of making a living as ventriloquist. some gypsy are fortunetellers and also use other talents to make a living, such as a gypsy dancer and more,so you the Ventriloquist should hitch a ride to learn how to travel the gypsy way. Learning to become a traveling performer will give you options in your Ventriloquist career, This means having survival tools for your Ventriloquist career, the gypsy people had a lifestyle, this lifestyle you want to learn so that you can have the skills and ability to transform into your ventriloquist career. Learn to live like a gypsy for training exercises then after you have the knowledge of the gypsy life style it will be an additional part to your art of ventriloquism..let me try to clear it up a little better, when I was a night club entertainer I performed as a ventriloquist with musicians and singers but when I started performing in comedy clubs it was a complete different stage! I had to go back to the drawing board and start a completely new ventriloquist act!.. learning to become a comedy club performer added another tool for my Ventriloquist career.as a gypsy ventriloquist when one town dry up you and your ventriloquist act travel to the next town like a gypsy. Learning to become a traveling ventriloquist is what you are learning from the gypsy life style. if you meet or know any gypsy people ask to join them so that you can get the real life experiences and if you are a gypsy add the art of ventriloquism to your gifts and talents, I don't think I have ever seen a gypsy ventriloquist before.

This segment is all about becoming a traveling ventriloquist, living inside a ventriloquist trunk is what they used to say many years ago. sleeping on trains and chasing airplanes with your little character dragging behind it's the traveling ventriloquist life...yes once upon a time I lived the traveling ventriloquist life, I travel with a live band of musicians, it was a experience I will never forget, carrying a ventriloquist trunk from city to city and state to state, eating restaurant fast food for breakfast lunch and dinner, waking up at noon and going to bed at midnight 😁, it was so much fun! me being a teenager and all...

Some ventriloquists dreams are to become cruise line entertainers.. another way to become a traveling ventriloquist is to join the military, the military will give you many opportunities to travel around the world and get paid for it too!.. many years ago traveling ventriloquists would join the circus but this lesson is not about joining the circus it's about creating the traveling ventriloquist business, that's the word I was looking for "traveling ventriloquist business" what I would like for you to do is learn from the gypsy people is the gypsy way of life so that you can create a additional part to your Ventriloquist career, such as I did when I went from night clubs to comedy clubs so for an example let's say your business for your children shows are slowing down, so now you start up the gypsy ventriloquist shows until your children shows start to pick up again or maybe you would like to continue with doing your gypsy ventriloquist shows for a while, do you understand what I am trying to explain here, you want to have options. options such as when you're so busy performing birthday party shows you can change to something else such as charity events if you have that option all set up and ready to go...study the gypsy way and study the traveling ventriloquist way, the gypsy way will teach you how to add a traveling ventriloquist business to your career.. don't forget to research other ways to add to your traveling ventriloquist business such as joining the military or the cruise lines or even becoming a truck driver that travel across the country.. I made this class for beginners and amateur Ventriloquists because it's a very important part of show business, what do I mean by that is some actors and actress may live in one location but work in another location such as they live in California but work in France...

After studying the gypsy life style I would like for you to give yourself a test..

pack your Ventriloquist character to travel and pay your rent or mortgage or wait until your school closed for the season or vacation first before taking this test....you will travel with your Ventriloquist character all over the state, city to city and state to state, the test is to entertain with your Ventriloquist act for tip money, something as a street performer or set up your stage show to perform for a public audience this means maybe use a large 🎪 tent with 🪑 🪑 🪑 🪑 🪑 chairs in a public park or a shopping mall, no matter how big the crowd you will not accept a admission fee but accept only tips or donations, you will not travel by air plain or train only by roads and highway and streets.. during this travel the money you make will be for food, gas,etc..as a gypsy ventriloquist you will be seasonal this means eventually you will settle then start traveling again... settle can be returning home or staying in one location before traveling again.. maybe do this gypsy ventriloquist test during your Vacation..if you can afford to purchase a large 🎪 tent and chairs 🪑 🪑 🪑 for your audience it would be a good investment for your Ventriloquist career, I have seen church groups with those giant 🎪 tents with chairs inside at parks and recreation centers, you too can set up a tent for your ventriloquist gypsy business.

You can also find a busy street corner where you and your Ventriloquist character can perform for tips from the people passerbys.. try to make enough tips to arise your food and gas bill, perform in one city then move to the next city the next day, travel to another state and set up your stage in that state.. remember during your gypsy ventriloquist travel time all things are done with tip money until the season is over then you will settle and hopefully by the time you settle you have a large sum of tip money left over.. that's it, that's the test, running your business from tip money for a period of time, such as a season, a season can be spring break or summer time or a vacation time, it's a time when you take for spare time or free time or down time.. this gypsy ventriloquist business that you create if you are successful by passing the test is not that you are becoming a street performer, this test will train you on running a self sufficient ventriloquist show business, "the gypsy ventriloquist"...I was a night club entertainer that had to learn a new way of business when I started performing in comedy club now today if I choose, I can perform for night clubs and comedy club today..this gypsy ventriloquist lesson will give you more options for your Ventriloquist career.

Your traveling vehicles can be by car🚗 by van, by mobile home camper, by horse 🐎, by 🏍️ motorcycle, by 🚲 bicycle, and other independent transportation mobility.. you can use a rental car, you can also use a movers 🚛 truck, some call them uhaul truck rentals.. no using Uber or taxi but you can use a waymo vehicle for special situations..

this is all about growing a self sufficient ventriloquist business.

_____________________________

Where will you sleep, your sleeping arrangements will be in hotels and motels, only for sleeping, and hygiene 🪥 purposes then you will be traveling to your next location.. the motel fee will come out of the emergency funds...where do the emergency funds come from, you save up money during the off season, then when the Ventriloquist gypsy season begins that money will be used for investment in your Ventriloquist gypsy business.. can you make bookings for motels and hotels before the traveling begin, yes you can have a traveling schedule for the season before the season start, maping out all locations where you are going to sleep, eat and perform or you can just travel blind with no schedule plans but the only plan is the tip jar.

Some people that travel for a living have a house sitter while they are away from home, a house sitter is someone that takecare your things while you are away, some stay in your house until you return and some stop by every day to check on things.. while you are traveling you can pay your bills by mail or online, I want to remind you that you have nine months to prepare for this three months journey.. during the nine months you should be gathering the funding for the journey, nine months is plenty of time to prepare for a three month travel getaway.

____________________________________________

public announcement system for your traveling stage. This is a portable sound system, it a amplifier and it has a microphone

These p.a. system also have a speaker stand.

I owned two with two speaker stands- tripod but you can use one for small crowds..they look heavy but they are not heavy at all.

_____________________________________________

can you perform at the same location more than once, yes but you must keep traveling, you can always circle back to that location if it's a successful location for your Ventriloquist gypsy business or if you like the location, you can do the yo-yo effect and that is going back by leaving that location to perform at another location and then return to that same location another day in the same week...if you find a location that you enjoy performing at, arrive early to spend the complete day there performing but at the end of the day you need to relocate, keep in mind as a ventriloquist gypsy you are not a street performer, you are a "traveling artist" when you are in the ventriloquist gypsy business..if you stay performing at the same location more than 24 hours you have abandon the mission and is no longer qualified as a gypsy ventriloquist.

What if you reach the destination point before the season end, then you do the boomerang effect and that is performing your ventriloquist gypsy business returning back to the starting point .. remember you are, working! The Job doesn't end until the season end. unless you abandon the mission, that would be called quiting the job...let me be clear here, many many years ago there were traveling salesmen, and door to door salesperson, you can look at the ventriloquist gypsy business the same way, the only difference are that your salary is the tip jar and your product is your Ventriloquist act, the profit is the investment in the emergency funds, you are investing in your Ventriloquist career with selfpromotion for profit.. actually the truth of the matter is you are getting paid to promote yourself... hopefully by the end of the season your business has managed to grow and your career has more recognition with the public.

If you stay in your motel room or hotel room or have not set up stage to perform for the tip jar for more than 48 hours or two days back to back that means you have settled and the mission is abandon before the season has ended.

do you get a day off, NO! you are on the job, you are working! your days off is when the season end, just like being a professional basketball player or baseball player, or any other seasonal career, you are on the clock during the season and off the clock when the season end..when does the season start, a season is three months, spring-summer-winter-fall...by the way: welcome to showbiz.

I also want to mention this is no different than when famous performing artists go on tour.

once again welcome to show business.

Yes you will be gone away from the starting point for 3 months and you have 9 months to plan and prepare yourself just like an astronaut getting ready for the mission to outter space, see there, even your gypsy ventriloquist business career and astronaut career have something in common, long distance travel.

how do I find location to perform: what you want is to do crowd source. This meaning is setting up your performance stage where crowded people gather. shopping areas, tourist attractions, places like Hollywood California, Las Vegas, Atlanta Georgia, San Francisco California, near sports stadiums, along side street vendors, in front of busy restaurants, shops and businesses not in front of the door way but where you can entertain the customers visiting the business going in or out, do not block the path, set up your performance stage like a street vendor set up there vendor carts or canopy, in fact you too can use a canopy for your performance stage..travel the city and towns to pick your next performing location, keep in mind the crowd is your audience, don't forget to display your Ventriloquist act name, as you travel displaying your ventriloquist act name is very important, if someone in the crowd wants to film your performance it's okay be nice and be gentle to your crowd audience, entertain your crowd audience and ask nicely for donations for the tip jar, make sure the crowd audience can see and reach the tip jar and make sure you remove the money from the tip jar after every performance.. looking for locations where crowds gather and finding a spot to set up your performance stage or canopy could be a difficult task so start your mornings very early.. remember public spaces are public spaces they belong to the public as long as you don't disturb the public such as blocking or 🚮 🚯 littering or noise, keep in mind private space belongs to someone, and not the public, it's called private property, read all notices and stay away from private property, if someone ask you to leave a location, do so right away. all around the world the public laws and private laws are pretty much the same, private own by someone and public own by everyone.but if you are not sure then just focus on where the tourist crowds go for your audience, set up your performance stage where the tourist are visiting and the site seeing locations, set up your performance stage near amusement parks and boardwalks but a good location would be the city downtown market place where people all around the city go to shop and eat,there's many restaurants and stores and traffic, these locations are all over the world so I am sure you can map out plenty of locations in theses downtown cities to set up your performance stage or canopy, it is wise to setup early before the crowds arrival.

WHEN YOU DECIDE TO TAKE THE GYPSY VENTRILOQUIST BUSINESS TRAINING EXERCISE.

you do not need to take the training alone, you can also invite family and friends or even better another performing artist to join on the gypsy ventriloquist training exercise and they should have a different talent than your own such as a beginner or amateur ballet dancer or magician or anything else of the performing arts.

Your start out money will only be used for emergencies only.. you are basically surviving on the tip jar..

the gypsy ventriloquist business is seasonal so that means it has a expiration date... what does seasonal mean? for an example sports are seasonal so sports teams are a seasonal career, some teaching jobs are seasonal there are many seasonal careers.. if you succeed at completing this training test I highly recommend that you make your gypsy ventriloquist business a summer job.

can you abandon the mission: yes! end it in case of emergency or anything else.

set a starting point: such as your house or a school parking lot and then set a settle destination such as a famous landscape or end at a relative house. at the starting mark or starting point:

Take all that you need at the starting point because their is no returning back unless you abandon the mission if you abandon the mission you have failed the test.. if you arrive at your settle point by the end of the season with some tips in the tip jar from performing your ventriloquist act for the public no matter how much tips that are in the tip jar then you are surely a WINNER!!! and have pass the test.

Passing the test and accomplishing the mission give you a certificate in experience of a gypsy ventriloquist business license.
