At Ventriloquism.org, our mission is to welcome and connect ventriloquists from around the globe. Led by our enthusiastic spokesdummy, Freddy Fiddlesticks, we aim to create a vibrant community where both novice and experienced ventriloquists can find support and inspiration.
The meaning of VENTRILOQUIST is one who uses or is skilled in ventriloquism; especially : one who provides entertainment by using ventriloquism to carry on an apparent conversation with a hand-manipulated dummy.
A figure, or dummy, is commonly used by the ventriloquist to assist in the deception. The ventriloquist animates the dummy by moving its mouth while his own lips remain still, thereby completing the illusion that the voice is the dummy’s, not his.
Ventriloquism is the skill of projecting your voice so that it appears to come from somewhere else, typically a puppet or dummy. The ventriloquist controls this puppet while speaking without moving their lips noticeably, creating the illusion that the puppet has its own personality and voice.
