STUDYING CHARACTER VOICES

What is a voice..a voice is a identity... a voice is communication. 
In the art of ventriloquism a voice is misdirection, in ventriloquism a voice is a sound. 
Most ventriloquism teachers will have the students learn lip control first before character voice.. but this school says learning character voice first before lip control because when you practice lip control with your Ventriloquist character you have the character voice that will separate the two identity between the Ventriloquist and the dummy and you will see when you speak with lip control while operating the Ventriloquist character mouth that the voice of the dummy seem to be speaking, once you give your dummy a voice, you need to make sure the voice stays with that dummy, meaning the voice you create for a dummy is that dummy identity, for example a boy name Jerry, it looks like Jerry, it sounds like Jerry it's Jerry,..

Some Ventriloquists are basic when it comes to creating character voices but let me mention here that your Ventriloquist character voice can sound like anything you can imagine, I mean you can create the weirdest voice for your Ventriloquist dummy but the most important thing is that it's different from your very own voice, your voice should stay normal as it is, but your dummy voice doesn't need to be normal..I have had some fun with creating Ventriloquist character voices..I once created a little girl Ventriloquist dummy that would whisper when speaking to me then all of a sudden she started screaming and yelling then returned back to whispering the audience would be on the floor laughing, I had another Ventriloquist character named Sutter box Junior it takes him five minutes to say goo goo goo good MORNING! Ventriloquist character voices can be used for comedy. 

In the art of ventriloquism voices will let the audience know where to look for the sound this means when the Ventriloquist lips are not moving and the identity of the dummy has been introduced to the audience, the dummy lips are moving, so the audience brain will register " it looks like Jerry, it sounds like Jerry, it's Jerry.. now what be confusing is Ventriloquist and dummy sound exactly alike and that is weakness for the illusion and that defeats the purpose of Ventriloquism meaning your audience will not"believe".. believe what? Believe that the dummy is talking, believe that the dummy is alive or a person separate from you...it is better to have no lip control with a dummy that have a voice different from yours, this is why it's wise to create a voice for your Ventriloquist character before learning lip control but it's your choice.

We are going to discuss becoming Pinocchio with the Peter Pan syndrome. The Peter Pan syndrome is not wanting to grow up and becoming Pinocchio is responsibility..life is responsibility.. the fairytale of Pinocchio is about a wooden puppet that wanted to become a real person but in order to make that wish come true Pinocchio had to follow some simple every day rules. singer Michael Jackson was the king of the title the Peter Pan syndrome because he started his entertainment career as a child, Michael Jackson home was a real life playground for Michael Jackson..I can relate to Michael Jackson missing out on childhood years because I started my semi professional ventriloquist career in middle school, I was never home I was always traveling for show business.. when I was in elementary school I owned my own writing production company and I still do own my production company.. in elementary school I wanted to become a writer, during my childhood days there were writers contest and when my f...
