Anyone here do ventriloquism?

[Reverend Conehead]

I've been doing some Youtube tutorials on it, and I can say: This stuff be HARD! It's not something you'll get good at with just a few minutes of practice. The people who are really good at it must have put in a ton of practice over a long time period to get any good at it. It gives me mad respect for any comic who can perfect this craft, plus come up with a hilarious routine and go up onstage and nail it.

There are a bunch of sounds that are super tough to make without moving your lips, especially the M sound, as you normally put your two lips together to say it.

If talking out your butt counts, a lot of people here are very experienced ventriloquists.

My ex-wife was a great at ventriloquism. She was always putting words into my mouth.

I have found some online courses on it. If I could get good at this, it could be a blast. All my life I've loved doing crazy stuff that makes people laugh. This could be fun.

Smart ***. But this is good. If we were onstage, I could work with this.

I'm comfortable with the use of voodoo.

I cannot "throw" my voice but I can throw posts for other posters and then come behind that and warn them. Not good to let an old guy get bored and him have access to a keyboard.

..lol.. good one, CC. Hey, your post reminds me of a movie I just seen some nights ago. Actually, might be down your alley. It's called, "The Duke". About older English gentleman who steals a famous painting back in 60's.

Only his interests in returning painting, are in exchange for good of society. Good flick, based on true story. Recent film. ..>Ciao....

If I get good at this, I could get a job talking with puppets and pretending like they're real people while a whole room laughs. I could even make fun of Amber Heard in my conversation with myself. What's not to love? Sounds like the perfect job for me.
