I read Marks latest article on finding the right “partner”. Mark, like myself, is a big fan of soft figures. He even discussed taking carved wooden figures to have a soft replica. He’s not the first I’ve heard of doing that. What do think of having a soft replica made?

Check out a new column from our very own Mark Wade about finding the perfect sidekick for your act. A must read for all vents here https://www.skool.com/ventriloquist-guild-4182/classroom/1fc31ce5?md=b0c7e05f440c4d8fa6d9dc1123258bee

We have several figure makers in the group, and those who make figures themselves. Here are a few questions for you: 1. What is your favorite material to create with? 2. What is your inspiration to create a character 3. What do you wish people knew before purchasing a figure?

What’s your favourite? I am a big fan of soft puppets. I’ve had hard figures and just couldn’t get the life out of them

Mine come from lots of sources. My church lady Mrs Grace Goodheart’s voice is based on my Nana and a bit of George Formby. Some I’ve adapted from old cartoons. How about you?
