QuestionI have an owl puppet that doesn't move it's mouth. Is it still okay if I make it talk, or is that a little weird?DeckTheHallsCommunity AnswerI'm not sure if it's "weird", per se, but if you're planning to do public shows, you may want to invest in a good puppet. I found a decent set of Muppet-like puppets on Oriental Trading's website, a set of 8 for 30 bucks. I use them all the time because I have a lot of younger siblings/cousins.

QuestionWhat if my puppet is designed to look like a certain celebrity? Should I make him like the celebrity or a brand new character?Community AnswerIt's up to you. If you think you can do a pretty good impression of that celebrity, go for it. If not, try to come up with a totally different personality/voice.

QuestionI saw a ventriloquist on TV with a real dog that looked like it was moving its mouth by itself and talking. How does a ventriloquist move a real animal's mouth without hurting it?DeckTheHallsCommunity AnswerThe ventriloquist likely trained the dog to open its mouth whenever it's tapped on the neck, and close its mouth when let go. It is a very clever trick, but hard to do.

QuestionMy parents won't let me do ventriloquism, but it's my dream. What do I do?Community AnswerI'm sorry to say this, but if you are still a kid, you have to listen to your parents. Try to find out why they don't want you to do it, and see if you can engage them in a calm, respectful dialogue about it to change their mind. If you can't, you'll just have to wait until you're a little older.
