The Art of Ventriloquism
Speaking of Ventriloquism
Anyone with a normal speaking voice can learn the skill of voice misdirection, and an outgoing personality and a quick wit doesn’t hurt, says industry guru Clinton Detweiler.
Terry Fator’s recent win on America’s Got Talent put a spotlight on what some might have considered an old-fashioned field.
The general public is usually unaware of the talent behind the dummies, so to speak, (sorry). For example, Fator is a talented singer, and popular ventriloquist Paul Winchell, who began working for Disney and Hanna-Barbera as a voice-over character actor, was an entrepreneur and a prolific inventor with approximately 30 patents to his credit, including the artificial heart.
