The Back Story
I first started performing as a ventriloquist in my middle school which was also when the ventriloquist bug first bit me. I started learning it by watching Darcy Lynn on YouTube. Then I went to my mom and said I needed a puppet. I could have gone to my dad, but moms are easy to explain and they tend to listen better. And my mom got me Sam. Yes, my mom and dad don’t need to ask each other to make a decision. They can chose to, but that is up to them. They are independent.
So I get Sam and my dad even now says that if I had asked him, he would not have bought it, because he did not even know that there was a word called ventriloquism. Well now he knows. He even has a ventriloquist in the family that he can boast about. And he does that a bit too much…..
Why Am I doing this ?
When I showed a ventriloquism act to my teacher Ms. Nelson in middle school she said “why don’t you teach others as well”. That is when we started a small ventriloquism club. We did not have money to buy puppets, and we used socks.. well puppets can come later. Then covid hit and we were all at home and by the time we were back in school, I was in high school and I started engaging in theater. Ventriloquism took a back seat.
I turned 18 this year and got accepted for theater major in a few places. I still need to pick where I will go. The only thing I know is I am going to be in SF Bay area. Why go far from family when they give me the freedom to pursue my dreams and be who I want to be. Then the idea came to my mind “May be I should use my ventriloquism as a side gig”. This can also help me in my college expenses. If you don’t know going to college is expensive. My dad says studying anything that you don’t want to is a waste. He says that looking back you should enjoy every class you attend. I love theater and there I am.
What is in it for you ?
A Ventriloquist can be a unique addition to any kind of event. Birthdays, family get togethers, Non profit events, club events and more. I have been to many gatherings and never saw a ventriloquist. Why not try it. I have performed for small kids, teens and adults (adults older than me, as I have to sometimes remind myself that I am technically an adult now). My content is also tailored to an occasion.
You will have a chance to pay more than what I charge and you will also have a chance to not pay me at all if you think my performance is not entertaining. My dad says we should always improve our value creation. I am learning and you are all my teachers. If you are interested, Please email me.
