Years ago there was an movie where the “dummy” was the ventriloquist and the guy holding the dummy was the actual dummy. I think it was written by Alfred Hitchcock.
I'm almost 60 - it's never too late to pick up a new hobby. Plus, learning new stuff keeps those little grey cells humming along happily... and this is way more fun than crossword puzzles! :)
Thanks so much Jeff, I just purchased my first ventriloquist dummy a little over a month ago, which I decided on Billy from the horror movie Dead Silence. He wasn't but a little over $400, but has already caused countless hours of laughter between my family and friends and your videos have made me able to bring my little scary buddy to life. That being said I really appreciate these video lessons! God Bless!
I just spent 30 minutes in the mirror trying to speak the letters clearly but also doing my best to avoid my throat moving. It's NOT easy! But, as I went I felt comfortable not moving my lips and practicing minimizing my throat movements while still speaking clearly. Certainly a workout, that's for sure.
This is the best thing has ever happened ! I am a big fan of yours, recently during my University years I bought a hand puppet and I was practicing (I keep talking to myself but I enjoy it hahaha). Now I've seen you releasing this course for free, how cool is that. Thank you so much Jeff
Jeff you're an awesome guy giving back to the community like you do and having stood forth through so much through the years that I've been following you since the 90s I'm still in your corner bud, I always will be
At 1:14 I said “A, C,” and I couldn’t help but think of how to spell Achmed’s name and said, “A, C, Phlem.” And laughed my butt off. I’m glad I clicked the like button!
You're honestly my favorite comedy guy/person/dude. my mom and i did think about going, but it costs a lot to get in and we'd be far in the back. anyway, this video's lesson is literally easy to complete unless you're physically incapable of talking without moving your lips of course. helps that i've been doing it at random points before even seeing this video. i'm not a people person, and i don't like being the center of attention so there's no way i'm going to be a ventriloquist in a profession like yours. There are other real life scenarios where you'd need to be able to do this stuff though. like if you are being hunted by some psycho and hide. you can just throw you voice down the hall. or if you just want to screw with someone to be funny.
I'm looking forward to doing this with my daughter who always said she could see my voice moving when we'd do FaceTime and I would do my stuffed dog's voice and have to shift the camera away from my face so she couldn't see my lips moving. Every time she caught me she'd be like, "I saw your lips moving, Dad!" Now I'll be able to do this WITHOUT having to shift the camera away. So exciting!
I randomly felt today huh I'm bored you know what I want to learn ventriloquism and then learn jeff Dunham made video lessons... this is a good quarantine
Jeff you changed my life in 2011 when I first saw you my dad put on a DVD of you and ever since then I watched you now I'm getting puppets and taking your lessons you are the best
My son just got his first doll after watching your shows on Netflix. He's 10 and has a sleepy version. He's so excited to try it out he lives your videos and learning. 💜💜💜💜💜
I am proud to say that ventriloquism is now a favorite hobby of mine, I still need to practice and I also feel like making my original characters Mr. Muffins (AKA Muffins): A talking black cat that is usually...really ANNOYING Flare: A talking dragon that wants everything to be burned or heated even tho he isn't evil, but he can be kind of a mood sometimes Bobby Buddy: A robot that is extremely polite and positive, even if you try to hurt him (which will hurt you since he's metal) and yelling at him, he will still be kind to you, kind of like a best friend that is always there for you
Thank you for doing this, Jeff. My girlfriend and I saw your show in Albany, New York and had an absolutely blast!!!! Without spoiling anything to others, the "Free Shit" was amazing!!!! Have an amazing weekend and thank you for spreading joy across the world with what you do and the little guys that help you do it. - Devan P.S. FOUR MORE YEARS!!!!
"Good morning infidele", I have a clown muppet since 2015 but I didn't really practice the ventriloquism. It's really good to watch this lesson and all the others. That makes me want to try again ! Thank you so much for this
I've been doing close-up magic for about 16 years and just the other day I thought to try and learn ventriloquism, too. Pretty neat, I wasn't expecting Jeff Dunham to put lessons up here on TH-cam.
I once asked a ventriloquist how he did it, and his arrogant response was "Can you keep a secret?" Of course you'd be like "Sure." and he responds with "So can I."
Jeff, you're either psychic or have amazing timing. I'm just starting to put together a puppet and was looking for lessons online... today. Thank you for putting this up, it's the first video i've found that describes the mouth position.
Idk why he doesn't actually have a full course from beginner to advanced on his trade. On Udemy or masterclasses. The man is one of the greatest comedians in modern history. And the fact he is willing to actually teach it, maybe it would be a good idea to teach people who want to make a legit career out of his style of comedy, or comedy in general. Jeff's jokes are very well made, professional and memorable. He'd be a great teacher, it would be really interesting how he practices, how he writes, how he deals with management, etc. Nobody sees the work it takes to be a world class act. I think it would be amazing.
It's so funny this is the video I came across first, as it was your great act with your ventriloquist dummies that got me interested to truly learn ventriloquism. I used to do voices and comedic skits with my pets, but of course my mouth still moved. Thank you for being so funny and teaching this for free. Love Achmed and Walter especially.
It's so fun😍😍 But more importantly I think I understood a little about ventriloquism I'm so happy~ There's not any vent class here, and when I search the Internet they said that we can't move our tongue, instead. But now I find it can be more little easy than before. Thank you so much😍😍
Actually i discovered i can do this a long time ago , my only issue are the letters B , P , V and M , this lesson so far is helpful i'm looking forward to the next ones and hope i can master that , it's really fun ( btw i wrote this whole thing with my mouth closed believe it or not haha )
Thanks for this. In my case, I have to learn how to speak again after lossing 7.5 cm of my tongue to cancer. These tricks have helped me to talk again in a whole new way :)
This is so much fun!
I’m trying
This is actually pretty easy I am doing great in just 5 min
It is! Although it’s really hard xD
I am also trying!!

Plot twist: Achmed is the ventriloquist, Jeff is the doll.
ngl when i saw this Turorial it became boring coz I now know how do they Talk In ventriloquism
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
When you stop practicing but the doll doesn’t stop talking
plot twist 😅 that's creepy
Getting goosebumps vibes
HAHAHAHAHA
😨😨😨
Well, that's a bit of spooky
Oh no. Oh no. Oh nonononoononooo
You should release a book: "Ventriloquism for dummies".
Bubba J. on top and pick the money.
I get it
With Achmed on the cover
Na put Walter on d book
This comment wins the internet.
this is amazing. His neck isn’t even moving when he talks for the doll
Just barely!
"Anyone can be a ventriloquist"
Mute people: 🧐
Wow Jeff, you’re really good at teaching how to do ventriloquism! 😃
He learned it from the best. Jimmy Nelson. This is all on Nelson's record, except shorter.
I actually saw this in a book by another vent, Kolby King. It is basically the same thing.
he did help me do it,i tried it on my friends,and they thought put some kind of recording device in the puppet
@@criptistic7523 Dude! RUN with it! It sounds like you're off to a great start!
Years ago there was an movie where the “dummy” was the ventriloquist and the guy holding the dummy was the actual dummy. I think it was written by Alfred Hitchcock.
Where were you when I was 12? I’m 50 now 😅 Fun to learn something new though!

Luckily I am 12!
lol im 12
@@trapztechchannel6770 & I'm 13 & I wanna learn! I especially wanna become one more though!!!!
IM 12 LEAENING.FOR A PAGENT
How to talk to yourself? Have a lonely childhood and ask for dolls...lots and lots of dolls.

It's kinds funny that when the puppet speaks, I can see his throat moving 😂
I just spent 30 minutes in the mirror trying to speak the letters clearly but also doing my best to avoid my throat moving. It's NOT easy! But, as I went I felt comfortable not moving my lips and practicing minimizing my throat movements while still speaking clearly. Certainly a workout, that's for sure.
Yeah, the person who voiced Lamb Chop did that, too.
Is the full course on TH-cam or is there more on the DVD?
That's normal, every ventrioloquist's throat will move because their throat and tongue muscles are moving. Some more than others.
Of course his throat moves. He's alive, using his own muscles.
It's not magic.
this oughta come in handy when i want to freak people out
Too really freak people out, delay your speech, mouth the words then say them
Thank you, Mr. Dunham! You are a talented performer and an excellent teacher - not to mention a very kind-hearted person for sharing these lessons...
This is the best thing has ever happened !
I am a big fan of yours, recently during my University years I bought a hand puppet and I was practicing (I keep talking to myself but I enjoy it hahaha).
Now I've seen you releasing this course for free, how cool is that.
Thank you so much Jeff
This is really well made. I love how entertainment and education are mixed together. Learning things becomes so much more fun.
15 minutes in practice and my cat starts distracting me... I still got 23 minutes of practice though! I'm keeping notes too.
OMG! HOW DID I GET HIGHLIGHTED!?

I’m literally doin* this in isolation it’s so good
Jeff you're an awesome guy giving back to the community like you do and having stood forth through so much through the years that I've been following you since the 90s I'm still in your corner bud, I always will be
Yay I can learn from the master

Thanks for being so kind as to upload these Jeff.
Thank you Jeff Dunham for your good will and sharing your knowledge. I hope you are blessed with every success that you duly deserve.
To be honest a few weeks ago I was going to look up how this was done and here you go uploading how ♡ thank you jeff~
I swear, you should teach us this in highschool
Yeah, I would really enjoy it.
it's 3am, perfect time to learn a new hobby! this is one i've wanted to get into for years anyway. thanks for making these freely available!
Love you Dunham. I always wanted these lessons from you. You are an inspiration to me. I tried other lessons to be like you

Umm, you okay?
Yes he is okay. (At least I think he is) Anyways why are you asking? Mind your own business. (Sorry if I sound harsh. I didn't mean to.)
Jeff Dunham you are awesome with the guys.
I randomly felt today huh I'm bored you know what I want to learn ventriloquism and then learn jeff Dunham made video lessons... this is a good quarantine
He's good if he can do ventriloquisism through his ventriloquist puppet.
It was always my dream to become a mastered ventriloquist like you and now I can finally learn from the master himself....
Thank you Jeff and Ahmed this helped me cheat on my online English test with the boys!!!!!!!
Jeff you changed my life in 2011 when I first saw you my dad put on a DVD of you and ever since then I watched you now I'm getting puppets and taking your lessons you are the best
