Just a reminder that one MAJOR item that will either make you look good or really BAD is the way you manipulate your puppet.
Failure to properly manipulate your puppet can put you in the category of someone just using a sock puppet. Nobody will think that a sock puppet is a real “person”.
The puppet should always be in motion. Just like you typically don’t hold still, your puppet should always be on the move. He/She can have a twitch, a cough, be scratching an itch or just bouncing around.
He/She can wipe their nose, rub their eyes or any of a hundred other things. NOTHING THAT IS ALWAYS MOVING CAN BE MISTAKEN FOR DEAD.
Again, get your mirror and practice, practice, practice.
We will talk again next week.
