We have covered this a couple of years ago, but it is time for a quick refresher.<\/p>\n<p>As we watched a couple of these videos, we saw the puppets looking off into the distance to locations known only to the Almighty.  The puppet had no focus on his\/her audience.  What the ventriloquist did not have was the ability to know where his puppet was looking.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the quick solution. <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Put your puppet on your hand and take close notice of exactly where his nose is pointing.  Now look at where his\/her eyes are looking.  You will see that where the nose is pointing, that is where the eyes are looking as well.<\/p>\n<p>If your puppets nose is used as a reference guide, you will always know where his\/her eyes are pointing and the perception will be complete that he\/she is conversing with the folks in the audience.<\/p>\n<p>Practice this for a few minutes and you will see that your audience will think the puppet is &#8220;real&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>That is all for this week.  We will talk again real soon.<\/p>\n<p>Steve and JET<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We were watching some videos this week, and we were reminded of a very important detail.
