[@LoopDoon]

Hahaha!! thank you. This video is very usefull for me. I am just starting in puppetry. Talking about "the childrens knowns there are a person behind the puppet or marionet" Once upon a time, after mi show here en Argentina, one kid 4 years old came to me and told me "ARE YOU REAL?" nananananan PURE LOVE

[@franciedillon]

Oh... that's a great story! Thank you for sharing.

[@franciedillon]

Your story touches my heart! Thank you so much for sharing here. The beauty, fun and genuine appeal that can be shared through puppetry is truly a wonderful gift. Best to you in starting your puppetry practice. "Gordon", my co-host, has been on stage for over 25 years. This is an ageless, wonderful profession. Take care, Francie

[@GrahamHorganOnline]

This was hilarious and very informative. Thank you.

[@puckandlayjay608]

Great pointers, Francie! You're both adorable!

[@franciedillon]

Ahhhh!! Thank you for your energetic response. That really makes me happy. I'll be sure to let "Gordon" know... he's always trying to one-up me! You've got some cute puppet products. Best of luck to you! Francie

[@debeerah1710]

Great and so funny, thanks! Greetings from Danmark

[@franciedillon]

Hello Danmark! Thank you for the shout out. Enjoy.

[@Wsy661]

Thank you so much! This video is useful and funny! May I ask a question? What's the different between "puppet show" and "puppetry"?

[@franciedillon]

Hi Ellen... thank you for watching our video. So...to answer your question in a completely non-professional tone... and you might even find a better definition on Google - Puppetry - is the actual technique of "how to " use the puppets. An example - as shown in the video - changing your voice to make the puppet reflect a character trait... or the use of the puppets hands - the tilt of the head to demonstrate that the puppet is "listening" to the audience. That's puppetry. Then... once you've learned those skills --- you get to put them all together in a show - that has a storyline. I hope that makes sense.... take care! Francie

[@Wsy661]

Thank you so much!

[@peanutsplayhouseventriloqu8741]

Are there any more episodes? :(

[@leeroy6713]

These talks about puppet makes me find what I was looking to do all my weekend be puppeteer

[@zoeluna6934]

Francie Dillon thank you

[@ChildrensWorld57]

I have 5 puppets now

[@franciedillon]

Fun!

[@ragnhildrnning6561]

My biggest problem with my puppets is always to come up with their names. I work with small children (ages 1-3), and I find it extremely difficult to find simple names that are easy to remember, especially because the names need to work in norwegian as well. Any out there with any tips & tricks on how they do it. I am completely at a loss....

[@MarcyMcDarcy5441]

Really nice 🙂

[@franciedillon]

Thanks - we had a fun time creating this.

[@aaronying4989]

That was so good!! That was excellent. As a Puppeteer studying puppetry I have seen many ehh shows and performers but this presentation was superb. Really well done. It inspired me.

[@franciedillon]

That is so great for us to hear! Thank you for sharing your joy with us....helps us feel inspired too! Take care :)

Hi Frank... I'm just now beginning to figure out KZbin.... and just saw a message you left - 6 months ago regarding the three little piggies song. You wrote I believe you were a teacher? I think you asked if I had any other songs ... and yes I do. Here's a gift from me to you for taking so long to respond... you can download it from CD Baby (this is the free download code) Take care... and if I can be of further help... just let me know.

Right... I'm leaving that skill for Darci Lynn... she's terrific.

[@ChildrensWorld57]

I have many animals too

[@franciedillon]

Having the variety can make room for lots of creativity - thanks for sharing.

[@--Dannyman--]

I have 300 pupets

[@isabelsummers8017]

#littletinyplayer what?

[@leeroy6713]

300 what are you doing with 300 puppets how did you get them anyway

[@franciedillon]

That would be enough to produce quite a show! I can only imagine all the character traits that would be possible to explore with that many personalities. Take care.. Francie

[@Graytail]

Is it me, or are Gordon's eyes made of plastic spoons and glass beans? Never thought of using spoons as the base for eyes.. As for the giant, a campy voice could go some very interesting places!

[@knittingnirvana]

Love it! Thanks!

[@franciedillon]

Glad you enjoyed this... Take care!

[@franciedillon]

Awe.. we really appreciate the enthusiasm :)

is a good video to

[@JustinDancingHawk]

Puppet performances aren't always for kids! Sometimes they're adult performances with VENTRILOQUISTS like Jeff Dunham! Show me that!

[@TomMaynardo]

I think that you shoud worry about youre mouth moving
