Kids Who Are Afraid of Your Puppets
Sometimes kids get afraid of the puppets. Whenever this happens, I always stop the show and demonstrate the puppet is a puppet. This puts the little ones at ease. And I also give them a tiny ventriloquist lesson too. Have any of you encountered this and how did you combat it?

There are enough adults also freaked out by my Charles but in my case as part of an adult show - its all part of the fun

Once I was prepping charles in a tiny store room being used as a green room when a fellow performers walked in - he virtually screamed with fright/-

High Tech or Low Tech
Do you like a figure with a lot of eye/head/hand movement or do you like simple and low tech? I’m in the middle of the road on this one. Weigh in, family

Audiences are not impressed with high tech figures anymore as theres so much robotic automation available. I think these days folks like to see how a simple figure or even a sock can come to life with your skill

Goals
What are your performance goals? Mine are booking more cruise ship work, touring more and being a better listener onstage to my figures. You go!

i need material, I have potential gigs lined up but my act needs to be comedy club standard funny ! No good just being good technically in my opinion.

If you dont have your figure with you then you are not in character! unlike a comedian who might always be expected to be funny . Leave you figure in the cabin .

Ventriloquist Classes
If there was one class you think would be mandatory for vents, what do you think it would be?

How to be genuinely funny, if the audience is laughing heartily you have won the battle.

Practicing Lip Control
How do you practice lip control? Do you use the mirror, or do you film yourself? I do both. What are some other tips and techniques that you use?

@April Brucker yes it throws you into a more heightened state than mirror practice which I struggle to get motivated to do. The bonus is that you can keep a close eye on your lips in the screen alongside reading comments and who knows - one might get quite a following :)

@April Brucker well you can give yourself a bit of a break :) at least you in the comfort of your own home and not in a venue, so minimal nerves .
