00:00Uhm...
00:02I'm being held hostage against my will.
00:04No, that's not...
00:07How about that? Is that good?
00:08Yeah, that's great.
00:09Okay. So, Jackie.
00:10What?
00:10We're gonna talk about tips and ways that you can start ventriloquism.
00:15I like that!
00:16Yeah, I'm not a ventriloquist.
00:17Well, that's okay.
00:18So you wanna try ventriloquism?
00:19Sure.
00:19Go ahead.
00:20A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z.
00:24I'm not really good.
00:25Yeah, you are.
00:26I think you had a hand in it.
00:27You're welcome.
00:28Okay.
00:29Alright.
00:48Hi, my name is Landon Harvey.
00:50I'm a comedian, ventriloquist, and puppet builder.
01:00I was very small in middle school and high school,
01:04and so I got made fun of because I was small,
01:07and my dummy was the same size as me.
01:13And I'm glad it happened, because it got me to the point
01:17where I didn't care about what other people thought of me,
01:19and I could just kind of focus in on my art and what I was doing.
01:23And I think that's really important.
01:26I joined TikTok because I wanted a way to try out jokes that had an organic brief.
01:31I've been able to grow an audience from TikTok that's spilled into my Instagram, into my YouTube.
01:41Yeah, one of the coolest things about TikTok is that it's a way to connect with people.
01:46And I think that's really cool.
01:47I think that's really cool.
01:48And I think that's really cool.
01:49And I think that's really cool.
01:50And I think that's really cool.
01:51And I think that's really cool.
01:52And I think that's really cool.
01:54Yeah, what are the key things to become the good ventriloquist?
01:57Well, you have to make sure that the puppet's eyes are always looking at the subject,
02:00whether it's you or it's the audience.
02:02That's called manipulation.
02:03Okay, making sure the puppet stays alive.
02:05Sure, right, yeah.
02:07You have to have good lip control.
02:09Uh-huh, technique, yeah.
02:10I always say you don't want to smile all the time, because it looks creepy.
02:13Yeah, you don't want to have a conversation with someone
02:15and creepily smile at them when they're talking.
02:17So I make sure that my face is relaxed when I do ventriloquism.
02:20And when you practice, that's a very important thing you should do as well.
02:23Oh, I like that. Be very relaxed.
02:28I perform because I love it.
02:29I love all of the work it takes to get to the one point,
02:34and then you go on stage and when you really just nail it
02:37and make them laugh and bring them into your world,
02:40you're providing escapism for them,
02:43but then you're also seen in a different light
02:47and you're able to bring this laughter and these puppet characters to life.
02:55And there's a magic in that, for sure.
03:00That's great, yeah.
03:01Can I have a sandwich? I'm hungry.
