Mark Wade - Successful Ventriloquism By Mark Wade
What is Ventriloquism? Ventriloquism is basically an illusion to the ear, just like magic is to the eye. And, just like magic, it also uses mis-direction to make it more believable. How is this done? 1. First by using a puppet to direct the viewer's eyes over to the false source of the sound. 2. Letter substitutions that boggle your brain to correct the mis-speaks. How to Speak Without Moving Your Lips 1. You may not believe this, but you are 50% a ventriloquist already. Just relax your jaw...relax...relax... OK now gently open your lips slightly. Now in your normal voice say the vowels: A, E, I, O, U Congratulations! You just spoke without moving your lips! 2. OK, now with the same relaxed jaw, say the entire alphabet without moving your lips, with a relaxed jaw, remember? I bet you actually said most of the letters fine, except for a few, right? See, you're half-talented as a ventriloquist already. LOL 3. The troublesome letters are : B, F, M, P, Q, V and W right? (We won't go into the word extensions yet like "ing" and "able.") I hate to disappoint you but there is absolutely no way you can say those above letter without moving your lips. So how do the ventriloquists do it? By sound substitutions and fast rolling over of the troublesome letters so that your brain will fill in automatically the letter.. Duh? Actually, your brain is so much in control that it automatically fixes a mess-up for you when it comes to words. This is the biggest asset in ventriloquism....peoples brains and ears! Also by being so funny that the humor distracts them from not noticing the letters were not really said.
