THE VENTRILOQUIST. (for the beginner Ventriloquist)
so you want to become a Ventriloquist.
let's start with the questions why do you want to become a Ventriloquist and why do you want to be an artist of the art of ventriloquism?
Most students drop out of the art of ventriloquism pretty easily in the lessons, I laugh out loud because I am so happy that I was not a ventriloquism school dropout, even the world famous magician David Copperfield was a student of the art of ventriloquism then dropped out to become a magician, the famous comedian and television talk show host Johnny Carson dropped out of school of Ventriloquism to become a comedian and there's plenty more Ventriloquism school drop outs that I could mention but I only want to let you know the schools of Ventriloquism is not for everyone.
Becoming a Ventriloquist is a commitment, it's being dedicated to the art, it's actually being married to the art. Some young Ventriloquists today use the art of ventriloquism as a stepping stone then do the bait and switch on their fans after building a successful fan base this is called the bait and switch, the bait and switch is never ever ever a good thing but it is a business tool... If you choose to proceed with a different career let your audience know that you are retiring your Ventriloquist career, don't abandon your audience trust me there's a audience member of one of your shows thinking about your Ventriloquist act this very moment, if you have a video or audio trust me your audience members are waiting for the next one.
We are Ventriloquists that means we are entertainers, we cheer up people, we scare them, we sing for them, we dance for them, we comfort them, most importantly we provide an escape from reality for them.
We are entertainers with the art of ventriloquism, we are creators in the art of ventriloquism, art and entertainment make us artists.. you wanting to become a Ventriloquist is simple saying you want to be a artist that entertain using the art of ventriloquism. You learning Ventriloquism makes you an artist because ventriloquism is a art, you becoming a Ventriloquist makes you a entertainer because you perform using ventriloquism.
I may not be David Copperfield or Johnny Carson, I am happy to be a student of the school of Ventriloquism.
Learning every day ways to create the art of ventriloquism is so much fun, writing skits and dialogue is so much fun, traveling with my Ventriloquist act to do shows is so much fun! creating characters for maybe a act is so much fun... being a Ventriloquist is so much fun to me!!
