I’m building a puppet!!! I’ve never actually built a foam puppet on my own. Anybody have a recommendation on where to pick up foam for a reasonable price? I went to Michael’s and the foam that I liked was only sold in larger and expensive quantities. Thanks

For me, I was 13. My stepdad was a magician. He took me and my brothers to his friends house. They were showing us their magic and I clocked 2 figures. Animal from the Muppets and a Pelham ventriloquist figure. I started playing with them and my Stepdads friend said I was a natural and gifted me the Pelham, who I named Willy. For years, I did it in secret because boys didn't play with dolls. Then at 16, I was at college and had to do a 5 min talk on any subject. I did a 15 min show and it went down a storm. Unfortunately Willy was stolen from me and when I replaced him, I found Oliver. But I'd lost my confidence. One of my children needed glasses but didn't want to wear them, so Oliver needed glasses. As soon as he put them on, something changed. I haven't stopped venting since. Oh and my lovely wife, she managed to find another Willy so he's back in my collection and I performed at Venthaven with him in 2022.

I have an extremely hard time remembering scripts even though I read them over and over, listen to them over and over, and practice them over and over. So was wanting to see if anyone has any tips, tricks, (or even cheats) on this matter?
