You're No Dummy: Ventriloquism for Beginners
Class experience
US Grade 3 - 6
Beginner - Intermediate Level
Each week will involve going over different strategies. These will take place on Zoom. Classes will last 30 minutes each. Certain lesson points don't require much class time.

I am the recipient of the 2015 Clinton Detweiler Scholarship in Ventriloquism (presented by America's Got Talent Winner, Terry Fator). I am also an employee of Creative Safety Products, a company that books school assemblies all over the northeast. On average, I perform 300+ shows a year, sometimes as many as 450. I am also the author of Experimental Ventriloquism, which can be found on Amazon.com (not recommended for beginner's).
