Learn the secrets of a professional ventriloquist!
So, you want to become a ventriloquist? Awesome! Ventriloquism is an art that captures the imagination like no other. Every kid dreams of their favourite toy coming to life. Ventriloquism allows you and your audience to live the dream.
Like any skill it is easy to pick up a few basics but to really master the art requires motivation and practice. Even then one key ingredient is missing. To truly master such a complex art form requires expert instruction.
Without insightful coaching and instruction you can spend hours practicing techniques which actually make things harder! I learned the basics of ventriloquism as a young boy by spending hours practicing in front of a mirror but it was the expert instruction of others that helped me really hone my craft. And I am still learning! Even now I make the most of any opportunity to glean insight from those experts in my field as I come across them.
Tips from professional, working ventriloquists are invaluable.
Working ventriloquists not only understand good ventriloquism technique, they also understand how to engage and entertain an audience. Let's face it, nobody wants to watch someone talk without moving their lips just for the sake of it. It is the combination of this highly focused skill along with the art of puppetry that makes ventriloquism so unique. To be a good ventriloquist you also need an engaging, funny, lifelike puppet character to capture your audience's imagination.
A short while ago I was motivated to write a course to share the art of ventriloquism with others, just as an older ventriloquist inspired and helped me when I was getting started. Teachers, youth workers, public speakers, children's pastors, and so many others could really bring a lot of fun and inspiration to the kids (and adults!) they work with through this medium. I can communicate things with my puppet, Dudley, that people may be be resistant to without him. Often when doing a show on character or relationships adults will admit they learned something, too, because their attention was so engaged. As I began researching ways to write the course, however, I came across what I believe to be the most comprehensive ventriloquism course currently available.
What makes this course so great?
I realised this course is better than I could have made, and only a fraction of the cost I would have to charge if I were to put something similar together. At just under $100 US it costs more than a book or DVD the value is far, far greater. It is as close to getting personal lessons from a professional ventriloquist as you could get without spending thousands of dollars for the equivalent lesson time. Plus, when you have done this course, you will be good enough to be paid for your shows. The price of the course would be earned back in your first paid performance!
So, you want to be a ventriloquist? Sign up here. The first five lessons are free. You won't learn all you need to know in the first five lessons, but instead you will see the quality and depth of the lessons so you know the value you get when you buy the whole course.
