We received a note from our good friend Gary Green from Canada this week. Gary sent us a video of himself and his old first generation Indian gentleman (as they are called in Canada). This was a puppet that JET did for Gary several years ago.<\/p>\n

\"Mexico<\/p>\n

Remarkably, the video was not taken in Canada, but rather from a “storytellers” event in Mexico. What makes this so important is that it highlights the things that you as a Ventriloquist can do to get your act “out there”. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As you watch the video, you will see that the puppet plays a very small role in the video taking up only a couple of minutes. However, Gary managed to use the forum of a storytellers event to get the puppet out and be recognized by yet another audience.<\/p>\n

For you as a performer, it is noteworthy that you can use other side skills such as story telling to get stage time.<\/p>\n

Watch what Gary does and give it serious thought. What can you do with a situation like this? If you can go from Canada to Mexico to this type of event surelyl you can go to a similar event in your own part of the world. There are things like storytelling events popping up all over the US.<\/p>\n

Here is the video that Gary sent us. Enjoy it.<\/p>\n
