Killing some time while I’m waiting to go ride MUni, I made this little video earlier today that demonstrates some fun ventriloquist illusions, including talking with your voice “out of sync”, the “muffled” voice effect, and a few up-close tongue twisters. Hope you enjoy!
We see Morty’s tail there.
Damn! Upstaged by my cat again!
haha thats pretty cool! You should get a dummy of yourself lol, and get it a little 12"unicycle! That would be pretty funny
Lol at your title. Entertaining once again.
whoa that is sweet! This is potentially a new hobby for my hobby collection I’ve never even thought about this before. Lip reading, yes, but not ventriloquism
So I have a question
Is it really hard to be good, or is this a skill you can learn in a few months?
Most anyone can learn the basic fundamentals of ventriloquism. How long it takes to master the art depends on the person, as some will just take to it more naturally than some, and others might have to work at it harder to achieve their goals. It takes the 3 p’s: Practice, patience and perseverance.
I also made a little tutorial that goes over the basics of lip control, and how to produce the difficult letters without moving your lips.
Cool shirt in the second video.
Nice videos man
That was very entertaining, Terry dear. You have a real talent for ventriloquism.
It is a shame that with all the time you invest in creating your excellent videos, you don’t proofread your title sections more closely. Tounge? It distracts the viewer from an otherwise excellent piece of work.
MA
Ventriloquism could be a fun hobby for me. Too bad the dolls scare me
Haha, I did something similar in an older uni vid, where I had one of my dummies “idling” on a small uni, then fell off.
Thanks, yeah I was surprised that with all the other ventriloquist related vids on YT, it hadn’t been used…at least I didn’t find any with that title.
Thanks.
Fixed!
Don’t let that stop you! Order my book and it will help you get started!

Ventriloquism for for dummies? Com’on Terry.
hehe! Anything that grabs attention! Seriously I didn’t see that until now haha. It’s like the following…read it fast the very moment you first see it:

Terry, you seen this?
Hey, Terry, you are absolutely brilliant.
You move your head and eyes, and use facial expressions while you are ventriloquizing that really give the impression that you are an interested listener rather than the speaker. This really enhances the illusion… way beyond your ability to not move your lips.
I make puppets, including mouth puppets, but have never thought of making a vent dummy. You have inspired me - I might give it a go.
Here are some of my creations.
Yeah, in person many years ago. It’s at the vent haven museum. I also met Jeff Dunham about 15 years ago, also Jay Johnson back stage at the Comedy & magic club, I performed on the same bill with Willy Tyler & Lester, and my favorite memory is having met Edgar Bergen in 1978; the last year of his brilliant life.
Thanks very much! Those puppets are awesome! You’re very talented.
A short clip I just made with a little buddy I haven’t worked with in a long time.
Meet “Jack Squat”.
hahaha thats good!
