LOOKING FOR WORK!!! $$$$ π°π°π°π° (for amateur Ventriloquists)
when I got my first taste of bread π and butter π§ in middle school as a semi pro Ventriloquist I became more HUNGRY! before I was a amateur Ventriloquist I never thought I could get paid for my Ventriloquist act, I loved the art of ventriloquism more than my highschool sweetheart and she knew I did, but she benefited from a teenager luxury lifestyle so she loved that I loved being a Ventriloquist.. I would have continued my amateur status even if I never grew into the semi pro level of a semi-professional but it's called πͺ΄ growth π and progress, so it just happened to me I was enjoying and having fun being a Ventriloquist and than all of a sudden I was receiving payment offers for my Ventriloquist act.. sometimes you may say I don't want to become a serious entrepreneur or a serious Ventriloquist entrepreneur, sometimes you may just want to stay as a hobby Ventriloquist but once you plant the seeds your harvesting will grow πͺ΄ it's just the nature of the gods so that's why you need to spend time as a beginner ventriloquist in practice and rehearsal because when you grow from beginner Ventriloquists level to amateur Ventriloquist level you will be mature enough for the next level of your growth π in your Ventriloquist career.
The deference between amateur Ventriloquist and semi pro Ventriloquists payments is that the client or customer says what they will pay the Ventriloquist and the semi pro Ventriloquist says what the client or customer will pay the Ventriloquist, meaning the semi pro says their own fee price, the customer or clients says to the amateur Ventriloquists what they want such as I want to book your Ventriloquist act for my five hour birthday party for one hundred dollars an hour, the amateur can not negotiate on pricing because of their business experience and stage time and amateur level so a amateur Ventriloquist can take the offer or leave it.. when I was in middle school I received that offer, I enjoyed performing at that birthday party basically babysitting children while the parents get drunk at the birthday party, I used Five of my one hour Ventriloquist acts to cover the five hours this is why you need to keep writing your scripts so you have the content and material available and ready to go, playing children games is a time filler at birthday parties so if you ever get hired for more than an hour for a birthday party be sure to have a program for games in your file cabinet π️ trust me you're not going to entertain an audience with your Ventriloquist act alone for five hours.. how long is a basic Ventriloquist act? one hour.. most show bookings are under one hour this is why you need to write to create many different one hour Ventriloquist acts, some customers might hire you for one hour for ten minutes this means they seen your Ventriloquist act before but only need ten minutes of entertainment, this is getting paid in full for only parts of the Ventriloquist act, some customers may hire your Ventriloquist act to see one part of the Ventriloquist act, I had a customer keep saying "do that thing that you do" I said my Ventriloquist act does many things, the customer explaining that he seen my Ventriloquist character name Sammy singing while I drink a glass of milk at the same time! so he was so amazed at that part of one of my many created Ventriloquist acts that he booked my Ventriloquist act for ten minutes for his co-workers office anniversary party.
Us Ventriloquists are entertainers, entertainment is a business and us Ventriloquists are in show business.. business is what? Money π°.. how can a Ventriloquist get money? π€...are you still thinking π€?.. the rkpshows school of Ventriloquism is not a preschool or elementary school or middle or high school, this school is a business school of Ventriloquism, this school are instructions to open your third π️ in your Ventriloquist career... now stop π€ thinking and start doing all the wonderful knowledgeable information that this school can give you... you need to be hungry for your π₯ bread π and butter π§ you need to love your art more than your highschool sweetheart.. get thirsty to drink from the cup of over flowing π·πΎ π₯ success.
you're a ventriloquist and you have a Ventriloquist act, you use the art of ventriloquism as a entertainer.. you are in show business and business is capitalism.. yes we are in business to make a profit, the profits are returns on our time and investments in our Ventriloquist career and Ventriloquist act... sellers are what we need to become and buyers are our primary goals, future buyers and pass buyers, buyers in our Ventriloquist career are called customers, clients, and show Bookers...we sell our Ventriloquist act to buyers and potential buyers...we make deals and accept offers and sometimes we're not very good at being a seller so we hire someone that can do the selling part for us and these persons are called the middle man recognized as managers and agents.. As I repeat again and again a Ventriloquist act does not need a middle man the middle man needs a Ventriloquist act... I want you to understand that the middle man is going to get some or most of your Ventriloquist act profits this means if the middle man gets you a hundred dollars for a performance you might get only twenty dollars for performing at that show... The way it worked for some of my shows where I didn't need a middle man, my Ventriloquist act shows lead to other Ventriloquist shows for example when I did a birthday party at jack birthday party Jill seen my Ventriloquist act at Jack birthday party then hired my Ventriloquist act for her birthday party Mary and Bobby seen my Ventriloquist act at Jill birthday party then hired my Ventriloquist act for their birthday party, I seen a live musician band performing at a cafe I hand the band leader my business card and let them know that if the band needs a opening act I will put them on my fliers and be the opening act for the band this was only for promotional to bring in more eyes for me and the upcoming band mixing clean comedy and music was the audience eye catcher, the purpose of this promotional event for my Ventriloquist act was to gain potential buyers in the audience for my Ventriloquist act...cut out the middle man is selling your very own Ventriloquist act. I also own my very own Ventriloquist production company so can you.
Take notes: referrals are GOOD π― and remember word of mouth is very valuable.
Sell! SELL! SELL! $ell! your Ventriloquist act.. so you say that you are afraid to sell your Ventriloquist act, then it's okay to stay at the amateur Ventriloquists level where the customers Will do your bidding for your Ventriloquist act, this is called donations, this takes pressure from you negotiating prices and fees selling your Ventriloquist act.. so if you're shy or even think making money is not so important to you as a ventriloquist again I say it's called growth, you plant the seeds your Ventriloquist career will grow naturally.
If you see a family standing in line with their children it's a business opportunity to hand them your business information, but don't be rude or interrupting be respectful and brief simply saying do you have a few seconds of your time to give me if they say yes then say that you are a entertainer for children parties if you ever would need live entertainment here's my business information hand the parents your business cards or website or flyers, ect and let them look over your business information themselves, adding do this under 30 seconds and if the parents begin to talk about business questions, let your business cards do the talking for you, let them know to contact you, this way you don't spoil the deal in a awkward setting, when you are doing business you want to be in a comfortable friendly environment for the sellers and the buyers, not standing waiting in line..I think if you're going to be performing live then you should do business in the physical and if you have a online performance then you should do business online.
If you're a amateur Ventriloquist in elementary school or middle school or highschool your school sports are a wonderful opportunity for networking or promoting your Ventriloquist act, students attending the football game or basketball games are your potential buyers so keep your business information current and ready for business deals at your school, I will say these business opportunity might be overwhelming or unpredictable so my advice would to be to take these school business dealing slow and simple and one potential buyer at a time because your school environment is unpredictable with so many different personalities and diversity some people might not accept your artistic ability so try to target π― a positive than negative potential buyers, your school may have two thousand students but the buyers of your Ventriloquist act are low so keep that in mind unless you been in a movie or went viral on social media selling your Ventriloquist act to a teenage audience will be a low success and another Note to keep in your back pocket about selling your Ventriloquist act to a teenage audience is not the students that you are trying to convince it's the student parents that is holding your π and butter π§, I think you will need to truly brainstorm on marketing your Ventriloquist act for the potential buyers of your middle school and highschool but your elementary school students should be a much convincing buyer simply because of the nature of the entertainment...if you should take on the challenges of your middle school and highschool for your Ventriloquist act potential customers just remember to stay focused on the target π― of the positive potential buyers of your Ventriloquist act. and remember just because you're in middle school and highschool doesn't mean that you can't network with your elementary school students for their birthday ππ parties... remember to keep your Ventriloquist act in the public eye even on social media, if possible try to go viral with your Ventriloquist character on social media so that you can sell your Ventriloquist act to a greater middle school and highschool school audience with a easier sales pitch.. brain Storming on the teenager market as a amateur Ventriloquist will be all on you but one thing I would like to mention, make sure that your Ventriloquist act business be successfully rewarded on returns for marketing of the teenage audiences...
my experience with selling my Ventriloquist act to middle school and highschool audiences was not much in the birthday party business, my production company in highschool was mostly aiming at the middle school and highschool audiences with ticket selling and merchandise selling while my Ventriloquist act aiming target for the elementary school birthday party audiences.
This means if you are in highschool you will need a production company to do business with the teenage audience to sell your Ventriloquist act... my experience may not be your experience so maybe you will not need a production company but before I enter highschool I already have a production company so when I went into marketing my Ventriloquist act to the teenage audience it was a easy process.
NOTE TO KEEP IN YOUR BACK POCKET: if you are a amateur Ventriloquist in college the same business methods for middle school and highschool audiences are the same for college student audiences. I recommend that you build your own Ventriloquist production company to sell your Ventriloquist act to these audiences... middle school- highschool and college audiences will be more profitable for your Ventriloquist act in ticket sales and merchandise selling... selling your Ventriloquist act to your middle school audience or highschool audience or college audience can be done online with a website or offline in person. As a amateur Ventriloquist a donation button can be added to your website for funding, selling your Ventriloquist act in person a tip jar can be used for accepting funds for your merchandise or tickets for your Ventriloquist act show, when you are selling your Ventriloquist act to teenage and college student audiences...I also want to whisper in your π ear the teenage and college audiences are "putting your money where your π€ mouth is" that's why having your very own Ventriloquist production company is highly recommend.
Highlighted note here: even if you have a real job in the real world you should not stop looking for work as a ventriloquist, on your off days or free time from your real world career you can plant seeds for your Ventriloquist career I call this having the best of both worlds, even if you are graduating from college to enter the corporate office you can still make a little time for your Ventriloquist career who knows you might end up the regular entertainment for your corporate offices.
If you have millions of followers on social media so what does that mean...
what does that mean, it means that you have a captured audience brain Storming on how to market your Ventriloquist act to a captured audience is a win win deal.. what do followers actually mean in today's terms, many generations ago there were fan clubs, today we have followers on social media..no need to look for work when you have a captured audience.. having a captured audience give you so many opportunities to sell your Ventriloquist act directly to potential customers..I met a young Xbox gamer standing in a line, the young twenty year old recognized my Ventriloquist act and begin bragging about his forty million followers on social media, I said why do you have forty million followers on a online game he said they love to watch me play the game live online, I said it sounds like you have forty million fans he said yes I do have forty million fans I said okay why are you standing here in this line next to me, the young twenty year old was confused about me not being impressed with him having forty million followers or a unthinkable fan club, what a dummy!.... some day that twenty year old will not have that fan club of forty million followers.. if you are a Ventriloquist act take advantage of the gift of having a captured audience, when you look at forty million followers look at forty million dollars at a t-shirt of your Ventriloquist act for one dollar each, as a ventriloquist act a fan club of forty million followers look at all those birthday party shows, that young twenty year old had a middle man taking all of the earnings, that middle man was the owner of the game website cashing in on the fans of the twenty year old playing a game on their website.
Their are many audio book companies on the market today... In these fields are narrator jobs and storyteller jobs.. once you have graduated from this school you will be trained in voice creativity if you choose to loan your Ventriloquist character voice for voice work, I also want you to know that radio broadcast jobs are still available today so if Edgar Bergen can have a successfully twenty year radio broadcast career so can you but first you need to follow the instructions given to you by this school before launching any show business career, so continue to attend this school and continue to look for work as a ventriloquist...working and learning at the same time lead to a very bright Ventriloquist future for your Ventriloquist career.
Looking for work as a entertainer is not a easy job for many artists, performers and entertainers so be it more difficult for a Ventriloquist so I say this as honestly as I can say it, if your Ventriloquist act ever get hired for a movie, podcast, talent show or what ever, that's not good enough, getting on America got talent television show is not your only destination, your Ventriloquist act being in McDonald's food restaurant commercial is not going to be your only career goal, what's good is taking those opportunities to build your customers for your Ventriloquist act, selling your Ventriloquist act merchandise such as T-shirts, hats and so on, if you win America got talent the middle man is going to get most of your earnings, take advantage of any global economy opportunities for your Ventriloquist act think sell sell sell not I have made it to the big time no if you become as famous as Jeff Dunham just think how many birthday parties you can be hired for plus making money π° what will you do when the fame is no more being famous is trending so while the trend is hot π₯ sell sell sell your Ventriloquist act, produce your very own products to sell, never settle for fame and fortune because even one day the famous and fortunate end up looking for work.
NOTE: remember that the middle man can also be uncle sam. and also uncle sam nephews and nieces are the middle man.. so keep that note in your back pocket. so when I mentioned the middle man I am not just talking about managers, agents, parents, bullies and producers...in dealing with the middle man give what belongs to Cesar to Cesar but keep the potential customers for yourself.
In show business work is work so count all your shows as blessings... I remember taping into the senior living retirement market it was steady work because the funding was on a budget, the client entertainment budget was on a monthly fixed rate.. Sammy and I didn't travel a lot during these senior citizens retirement organizations shows..the senior citizens retirement organizations are retirement condominiums and living facilities for retirement people, and where retired people live in a gated community but have a on site management staff, the staff provide tours of sight seeing and sailing on a vacation boat and live entertainment in their on site auditorium, some of these auditorium were like a theater and some were banquet rooms.. I enjoyed all the bookings from the senior living retirement market, they also have birthday parties too! and many other types of bookings for entertainment, a dream job would be to be regular entertainment for one of those retirement homes, but you would definitely need to lower your price to their affordable budget like I did..Christmas and new years and birthdays is always a for sure show bookings when you become the regular entertainment for the senior citizens retirement organizations market so if you're willing to work for cheap and on a budget I suggest that you start a marketing campaign for the senior citizens retirement audience if you are looking for work for your Ventriloquist act... also be very careful about the content of your Ventriloquist act material when going into the senior citizens organizations market, your shows content is the key sales of the senior citizens business for your Ventriloquist act... writing a good program is the secret, so I explain here a Ventriloquist act and a program is not the same, a program is a schedule of entertainment you will provide for your audience as a ventriloquist entertainer, this means putting together a hour of amusement might be sing alongs, magic tricks, Ventriloquist act, playing the piano or some type of musical instrument,etc, and a Ventriloquist act is just that Ventriloquism one hundred percent.. so you having many different talents would really help you with writing a Ventriloquist program for entertainment in the senior citizens market.
if you have Ventriloquist characters..I want you to always realize that you and your Ventriloquist character are business partners.
if you have a main Ventriloquist character.. You and your Ventriloquist character are a team.. remember to keep in mind being a Ventriloquist is a profession.
NOTE: AS A AMATEUR OR SEMI PRO VENTRILOQUIST IT'S OK TO CREATE YOUR OWN JOBS FOR SHOW BUSINESS.
Selling your Ventriloquist character voice is another job opportunity, this means voice actor work is also in your Ventriloquist career field so try looking for jobs behind the scenes ventriloquism is also performing off stage. being a announcer is a wonderful job for a Ventriloquist and also many gaming companies use voice animators, you can find work as a speaker or a spokesperson because of your experience performing as a ventriloquist in front of a audience except as speaker or spokesperson you will not be with your Ventriloquist character, commercials actors audio or videos are also work that you can look for as a Ventriloquist, podcast work is open today..I did some back ground set extra work as a movie extra actor, those jobs are show business work for union and nonunion entertainers.. being a Ventriloquist has so much work if you're hungry and want to live the life career of a Ventriloquist. wanting to add meat π to your π bread and butter π§ all depends on how much you enjoy working in the art of ventriloquism.
