Ventriloquism Made Easy: How to Talk to Your Hand Without Looking Stupid!

by Paul Stadelman, Bruce Fife

Learn how to throw your voice. Make your hand talk, your shoe sing, and your mother-in-law shut-up! Everyone will be tongue-tied when you start talking to the lamp shade and it talks back! Paul Stadelman, a professional ventriloquist who starred on his own TV show for many years, shares with you the secrets that made him a hilarious success. Ventriloquism, as taught in this book, is easy to learn if you follow a few simple rules. Anybody can do it! And it’s so fun that once you start, you’ll be talking to yourself for hours. This book explains how to use standard puppets as well as novelty figures such as balloon animals and gym socks. Includes 22 complete comedy dialogs to get you started. All outrageously funny. “Wonderful book!...the best resource book currently on the market for the aspiring ventriloquist.” Clinton Detweiler, President of the North American Association of Ventriloquists “A lot of fun…You will start with very basic instructions and move through learning to talk through your nose..It’s terrific.” Rainbo Reviews “This is must reading for ‘budding’ ventriloquists.” Robert H. Ladd, Dialogue “Commendable.” Patrick L. Justian II, Vent World Association

[Dillon Harris]

Some great points in here that will actually apply to performing and comedy writing in general, particularly the section about not making your audience do any work. Interesting to get a glimpse in to the life of such a fascinating profession, but there was a sense that this book was plodding a lot to hit 100 pages.

Pretty good training for people wanting to learn this art form .
