Q&A for How to Learn Ventriloquism

I'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.

It'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.

Adjust the frequency your voice is leaving your mouth at, and introduce dialect that would make sense for your character.

The 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.

I'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.
