You should release a book: "Ventriloquism for dummies".

[@theocoxd]

Bubba J. on top and pick the money.

I get it

"Anyone can be a ventriloquist" Mute people: 🧐

[@laxgoalie1177]

this is amazing. His neck isn’t even moving when he talks for the doll

[@Fil_the_spil]

Just barely!

[@TSunshine20]

Wow Jeff, you’re really good at teaching how to do ventriloquism! 😃

[@oghond]

He learned it from the best. Jimmy Nelson. This is all on Nelson's record, except shorter.

[@sha11235]

I actually saw this in a book by another vent, Kolby King. It is basically the same thing.

[@criptistic7523]

he did help me do it,i tried it on my friends,and they thought put some kind of recording device in the puppet

[@JustinDancingHawk]

@@criptistic7523 Dude! RUN with it! It sounds like you're off to a great start!

[@stephendall2329]

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.

[@gmman00000]

How to talk to yourself? Have a lonely childhood and ask for dolls...lots and lots of dolls.

[@25_kylie16]

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

[@citeltheof]

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.

[@jessiehermit9503]

Yeah, the person who voiced Lamb Chop did that, too.

[@jakestallone2212]

Is the full course on KZbin or is there more on the DVD?

[@MKF30]

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

[@sunnyscott4876]

Of course his throat moves. He's alive, using his own muscles. It's not magic.

[@ThatGaijinFella]

Where were you when I was 12? I’m 50 now 😅 Fun to learn something new though!

[@jeanninel8042]

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! :)

[@Jarhead1313]

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!

[@gasjebasje99]

this oughta come in handy when i want to freak people out

[@TalasEclipseStudio]

Too really freak people out, delay your speech, mouth the words then say them

[@obalfaqih]

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

[@charlieranger0478]

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!

[@Mikkyrain]

Lmao

[@glanshammar8762]

This is really well made. I love how entertainment and education are mixed together. Learning things becomes so much more fun.

[@Elmware]

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."

[@jeanninel8042]

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...

[@Alphatechguru]

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

[@milliestockham9286]

I’m literally doin* this in isolation it’s so good

[@themessiah..]

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

[@comiccat2883]

15 minutes in practice and my cat starts distracting me... I still got 23 minutes of practice though! I'm keeping notes too.

[@JintySteam1]

Thanks for being so kind as to upload these Jeff.

[@AoiUsagiOtoko]

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!

[@johnathancazares3283]

I swear, you should teach us this in highschool

[@ishaanpandey]

Yeah, I would really enjoy it.

[@phil7377]

Thank you Jeff and Ahmed this helped me cheat on my online English test with the boys!!!!!!!

[@Ilovehallytall]

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

[@mjremy2605]

Yeah, we can all become ventriloquists, but there is only one Achmed.

[@Tsukiyori9]

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~

[@Prettymoma2274]

Yay I can learn from the master

[@ivyantwi-gyamfi3268]

Thank you Jeff Dunham for your good will and sharing your knowledge. I hope you are blessed with every success that you duly deserve.

[@Soron661]

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]

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!

[@jessiehermit9503]

Umm, you okay?

[@IUNA247]

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.)

[@dabestindabusiness3046]

He's good if he can do ventriloquisism through his ventriloquist puppet.

[@mjremy2605]

Achmed: Silence! I keel you! Rest of us: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@quagmire1130]

It was always my dream to become a mastered ventriloquist like you and now I can finally learn from the master himself....

[@AdvHimanshuArya]

Love you Dunham. I always wanted these lessons from you. You are an inspiration to me. I tried other lessons to be like you

[@mercuryman1250]

Big fan of your comedies I find this easy but trying to get better every day

[@laurewinkelmans9501]

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.

[@penguinmaster7]

better than any of those written tutorials

[@BaoBao-kb2jt]

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😍😍

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 KZbin.

wow! that's a nice idea Mr. Dunham

[@garybell6098]

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 :)

"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

Hi Jeff out of all the other characters that you have, Achmed is the best, and his dialogue "silence?I kill you!!!" is the most hilarious. Love you man.

[@ltp-leafeon3123]

OH MY GOODNESS HE TEACHES LESSONS!!

[@djx2930]

Jeff you are very good teacher of ventriloquism

[@nomad1517]

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.

[@ellicechen]

This is so cool. You’re a great teacher! I can’t wait to learn!

[@annamelenhorst24]

This is soo cool! love Achmed!

[@Scott-ye4qh]

I thought Jeff was going to say 30 years to become a ventriloquist. In that case we would look like Mr. Bones. 😂
