Buddy Big Mountain replied to Rob's discussion Getting started in the group Ventriloquists Anonymous"Greetings Rob, What might help is to be seen a bit more. You may have to volunteer at a few venues that will give you the maximum exposure to the people that would use your talents and hire you."
Rob commented on Rockwell's group Ventriloquists Anonymous"I very much enjoyed Paul Winchell's DVD, but found the section on throwing your voice surprisingly unhelpful. Are there any other resources you can reccomend?"

Getting started
I am a younger vent, and though I try to advertise by posting business cards around my area, I'm afraid that people just don't take me seriously or don't notice. I have had experience performing in front of an audience, and have been working at ventriloquism for quite some time now. Any suggestions on how to take my act to the next level?

- Ventriloquist.
- What First Got Me Interested in Puppetry
- I went to Virginia Beach with my friend, and saw an amazing ventriloquist there. Once I got home I made a dummy for myself and it's been all up from there.
- My Puppetry (or Puppet) Hero
- Hard to answer. There are two I just can't choose between. There is Edger Bergen, who made ventriloquism what it is today, and Jim Henson, who changed puppetry forever. So, I guess it's a tie.
- If I Were a Puppet, I'd Be...
- Oh, a muppet! No competition! They always seem so goofy and fun, like nothing puts them down!
- More About Me:
- Well, I am a ventriloquist and love to act. Spencer, my main puppet, is a teenage frog who has a crush on Katy Perry and eats far to much junk food. My other puppet, Melvin, is a super sweet manatee who really has no idea what's going on. And then there's Renaldo (Wren for short), who is a tennis ball with far to much attitude. I love them, but they can drive me crazy!
- My Company/Troupe/Group
- I do a one man show, "Rob's: I'm Just Here for the Cookies."
