Teach Yourself Ventriloquism. 5 Tips For Beginners.

[@MarkOfStupidityTV]

If you'd like me to do more videos on learning ventriloquism or if there are any ventriloquism techniques you'd like me to demonstrate just let me know in the comments below. Thanks for watching.

[@kaivalyagharge9217]

Can we say f for p

[@MarkOfStupidityTV]

Kaivalya Gharge the best substitution for p is making a t sound but placing your tongue at the back of your front teeth when you make it. It softens the t sound to make it more like a p. I have a separate video on my channel covering it in more detail. I hope this helps.👍😃

Please do. My Belfast accent makes it so obvious when substituting letters

Thanks Mark, great tips. If it was easy everyone would be a ventriloquist.

[@MarkOfStupidityTV]

Thanks Joel. I think I’m going to make more how to vids on ventriloquism. I’ve been pleasantly surprised how people have reacted to it. I was nervous to put this up as it’s not my usual stuff.

[@annelowe2691]

Yes please. Please make videos with a phrase of words with difficult letters, AND how to throw your voice. Thank you so much!!! 😄

[@pfhastie]

Excellent advice. You should have more subscribers.

Yes Mark would love to see more learning ventriloquism. I need all the help I can get.

This is a fantastic primer- thank you, Mark! Love to hear about the ventriloquist alphabet!

The Dennis Ball Show thanks. I think the ventriloquist alphabet is next on my list to film. 👍😃

[@ZeroGravity60]

@@MarkOfStupidityTV Man that was cool! Your stunning talent is only surpassed by your natural teaching ability. This is a clear example of the internet's promise. Thanks for creating. I did with Terrot cards what you did with ventriloquism. Everywhere, all day, all the time. Today it's such a fun/valuable tool to own. It starts slow as you said but like the seventh wave of covid, it shoots up seemingly out of nowhere but in truth, it was your dedication and natural physical passion/enthusiasm that made it work. It's teachers like you that make students like me look good. [I said all the above without moving my lips. Hmmm. I'm on my way.] Peace.✌

[@creylo200]

Woah! This a a short video loaded with useful information. Im here to learn the voice delay, i thought learning a bit of ventriloquism beforehand would be a useful thing for learning the voice delay. Excellent video!

Great tips. I’m just starting out and I’m struggling. Trying to absorb as much as possible from lots of ventriloquists

[@RadioManJ]

I am a magician (mostly amaeteur for now, though I had some paid gigs), and have recentlyh decided to incorporate a little puppet in my act for one specific magic trick. I am not looking for becoming the best ventriloquist in the world, but just to make my puppet talk a little to entertain small kids. Thank you for this video, it was great advice!

I have always wanted to be ventriloquist.. glad i found your channel. Trying to figure out how to express my voice. I always thought it was singing but I find ventriloquism to be much more my style. I am sure you'll cover it, but my problem is the "Ps", M's, B"s, "W's" etc....:) cant wait

[@MarkOfStupidityTV]

Hi Deb, so pleased that these videos will be of use to you. And yes, there’s videos covering how to pronounce all the difficult letters. Good luck with it and I can’t wait to see some ventriloquism KZbin videos of your own very soon no doubt! Happy venting. 👍🤓

this is helping a lot, thanks!

[@BobSouthDakota]

Great video and information Mark! How did you decide which voices you were going to use with your puppets? Thank you

[@MarkOfStupidityTV]

BobSouthDakota thanks! That’s a great question. I generally would play around with a new puppet character to see at first what comes out naturally, then I’d try working through different voices, high pitched, deep, various accents, to see what fits. It also depends what the puppet looks like. Maybe I need to do a video on this! 😃

[@areejdebas2072]

Wow❤❤❤

[@H.C.Q.]

I'm watching this because the only part I suck at is saying words with a "B" or a "P" sound because those are the words that make my lips visibly move. Yes, I would love a vid on that!

What are some words to avoid with substitutions? Thanks Mark.

[@EVENTUCATOR]

Thanks Mark. I am TRYING to do this, but I am a bit nervous in front of people. I have followed a few DIY Lessons, but I reckon the more 'points of view, the betterr instructed you are(?)

[@MarkOfStupidityTV]

I definitely know the feeling! I used to get incredibly nervous about performing in front of people when I first started and still get nerves to this day! One trick I use is this, I read somewhere that the feeling of nerves and anxiety is very similar to the feeling of excitement, so next time you feel anxious and nervous, just say to yourself, oh I’m excited about doing this. Just reframe the feelings. I’ve found this has worked for me in many different situations. Happy venting!👍😃

[@hasiona]

Hi, your videos are great, it is helping me really, I want to know a technique.. Generally ventriloquists substitute B with D, P with T and F with TH.... But do some ventriloquists Or is it possible to substitute B with GEE or P with KEE and F with KH.. I will be really thankful if you help me out..

Oh my god! The echo! 😲😲😲 never seen that before

[@tleirawlnun4329]

Sir some other channel said no need to close teeth but other said closing teeth is necessary and on google i search and a slight gap is required it say so which one is the correct one

[@amjadtravels]

hey thanks alot so fun ,,but i cant do B and P ,,i just have to move the lips

[@tleirawlnun4329]

Sir i dont know the mouth position should we close our teeth or open a little gap please tell me

[@MarkOfStupidityTV]

The optimal position is keeping your teeth together, closed, with lips apart. If your teeth are apart you will always get some lip movement because your jaw will move. Keeping your teeth together helps stabilise everything. I hope that helps. 👍🤓

[@BurlinghamProductions]

Can you please do one for b w v and you know the hard ones

[@tleirawlnun4329]

So sir from the begining we should not use our natural voice l mean is a voice for our puppet is required from the beginning or not

[@MarkOfStupidityTV]

You should practice with both a puppet voice and your natural voice. Usually though you’ll just be performing ventriloquism with your puppet voice. It’s good to get used to performing in multiple voices especially if you’re going to do more than one character. To begin with though, it’s probably easiest to practice with your puppet voice, get comfortable with that, then move on to trying others. Hope that helps.

[@yca1112]

The mirror is your best friend. If you don't like looking at yourself, then maybe ventriloquism is not for you...😊

[@tleirawlnun4329]

So like when we talk in ventriloquist mouth position the sound is like forcing voice because of teeth so that should it be

[@douglasarnold5310]

Was not expecting that low voice wow

[@babooshka99]

☺️👍

[@Varga_Land]

The teeth together thing... What happens if you have dicky teeth that when together the space is so tight the sound sounds like its in a auit case? Can just the front teeth be held together? Or any other common positions?

[@afifa9487]

it works it's just that I cannot speak the letters b f v p z m w, any tips ?

Sir how to have different voice for the dummy

OH LORD I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO WATCH THIS I GOT IT FIRST TIME DAYUM I'M ONLY 10 AND I GOT IT FIRST TRY

[@asmin6719]

i JUST canot say " B / F " i always say D

[@MarkOfStupidityTV]

Try making a D sound but use the tip of your tongue to push up against the back of your front teeth instead of the roof of your mouth .That should soften the D sound to resemble more of a B. I hope that helps. All the best. 👍🤓
