When you are in a conversation with someone, when you say something to them, they don&#8217;t just fire back like a machine gun.  They pause and take a few seconds to reflect on what you have asked them or said to them.  Then with what appears to be intelligence, they respond to your statement.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>When you are talking with your puppet the same rules will hold true.  When the puppet says something to you, take a second or two as though you are thinking before you respond.  In some cases you can snap right back but not always.  Make the conversation have a flow to it so that it appears to be natural.<\/p>\n<p>Practice talking to someone.  Get a feel for the flow of the conversation with a human.  Then work with your puppet and establish the flow of the conversation with the puppet also.<\/p>\n<p>Work on it and you will find that you make your puppet come to life much better when you do this.<\/p>\n<p>We will talk again next week,<\/p>\n<p>Steve and JET<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One thing that we see on a regular basis is that folks need to work on the way they &#8220;pause&#8221;&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[58,60,61],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1116","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hints-and-tips","category-puppets","category-ventriloquism"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/thedummyshoppe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1116","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/thedummyshoppe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/thedummyshoppe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thedummyshoppe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thedummyshoppe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1116"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/thedummyshoppe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1116\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3214,"href":"http:\/\/thedummyshoppe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1116\/revisions\/3214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/thedummyshoppe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1116"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thedummyshoppe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1116"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/thedummyshoppe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1116"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
