We have a suggestion for something new for your act. Get a tape of one or two songs that would fit your puppets personality.
Come up with a “lead in” script where your puppet tells just how good of a singer he/she is. Your puppet then asks your audience if they would like to hear him/her sing. Or you can ask your puppet to sing and the puppet very shyly says no because they have never sung in public before. So then you ask the audience if they want to hear the puppet sing.
After the audience begs the puppet to sing, quietly turn on the recorder and let the puppet lip sinc to the song. All that is required if for you to move the puppets mouth and let him/her sway/shake to the song. You yourself don’t need any musical skills and there is no danger of you moving your lips. Make sure that you act surprised that your puppet can sing so well.
This is a very easy thing to do and will add several minutes to your act with very little effort on your part.
We will talk again next week.
