    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!

    It's kinds funny that when the puppet speaks, I can see his throat moving 😂

    • @citeltheof
      @citeltheof 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      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.

      That's normal, every ventrioloquist's throat will move because their throat and tongue muscles are moving. Some more than others.

    @Soron661 6 ปีที่แล้ว +78

    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.

    • @citeltheof
      @citeltheof 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      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!

    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

    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.
