chuck Jackson Ventriloquist figures.
wood carving was a big business hundreds years ago, even children toys were made from wood, even shoes were wooden. usually when you think of a wooden puppet you think of the puppet name Pinocchio that dream of becoming a real boy someday..I remember talking on the phone to Ventriloquist figure maker name chuck Jackson many times, about his art work in building Ventriloquist dummies, he was a excellent wood carving Ventriloquist figure maker the Ventriloquist figures he built were unbelievable real life like you wouldn't think it was not made of hard wood...one day on the phone chuck Jackson told me he was passing his business down to his son, I was surprised of this news not knowing of chuck Jackson son as a wood carving Ventriloquist figure maker, I was dismayed of this news but chuck Jackson pressing forward in the conversation that his son work is better than his work. as time went by figure maker wood carving chuck Jackson disappeared from the art of ventriloquism and I haven't seen the work of the son of chuck Jackson. Chuck Jackson's Ventriloquist figures are called the Cadillac of Ventriloquist figures they are antiques because there are not many made it is for sure a affordable collectors item.
If you see a Ventriloquist figure that you truly want, my advice is not to wait to get the Ventriloquist figure that you want no matter how much it cost because I never thought that the chuck Jackson figure I wanted to buy from Chuck Jackson wouldn't be made anymore, it's called proscrastination, yes proscrastination is never a good thing to do in the art of ventriloquism.. remember to make notes in your study of the art of ventriloquism not to be a proscrastinator.
Many years ago Ventriloquist figures were being made out of paper materials but this production wasn't successful... Fiberglass is a very common Ventriloquist figure and Edgar Bergen himself said that he is a fan of the fiberglass Ventriloquist figure.
Old classic Ventriloquist figures are mostly made from wood and the soft puppets were made of clothes material.
Ventriloquist dummies begin to appeared in the years of the 1800s during the years of the 1900s the population of Ventriloquist dummies begin to grow more and more.
During early 1900s Ventriloquist dummy makers were a business such as a toy maker or a doll manufacturer and sure puppet makers were always around but the Ventriloquist dummy makers were a small time business until the 1900s.
Ventriloquist Fred Russell is called the father of modern Day ventriloquism because he was the first Ventriloquist to perform with a Ventriloquist figure as a Ventriloquist act before Fred Russell Ventriloquists used a line of Ventriloquist figures today we would call it double talk or even triple talk, the Ventriloquist would have many voices with many different Ventriloquist dummies on stage at the same time, Fred Russell used one Ventriloquist dummy sitting on his knee name coaster Joe and this changed the Ventriloquist acts all over the world but this school doesn't recognize Fred Russell as founding father for modern Day ventriloquism simple because of the fall of vaudeville, the fall of vaudeville brought most Ventriloquists to starvation and pretty wiped them out. Edgar Bergen was part of vaudeville and the fall hurt Edgar Bergen pretty bad financially and you must understand vaudeville was the bread 🍞 and butter 🧈 for many performing artists. Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy taking their Ventriloquist act on the radio saved the dying art of ventriloquism.. Edgar Bergen and his teacher the great Lester are the founding fathers of the Ventriloquists today, I didn't say founding father of the art of Ventriloquism, I said founding father of the Ventriloquists.
after Edgar Bergen started his Ventriloquist career on the radio Ventriloquists begin to make a living again, audiences found that watching a Ventriloquist act on stage or listening to a Ventriloquist act on the radio was interesting and entertaining, schools of the art of ventriloquism were many places and had many students attending to learn how to become a Ventriloquist.
