Title: How does how ventriloquism work?
Post by: thedoc on 14/07/2012 10:30:01

Joss van der Linde  asked the Naked Scientists:
   
Hi there Chris,

I just want to start with complimenting you on the 702 weekly programme (http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/podcasts/), I enjoy it very much.

I am also fascinated with the ventriloquists like Jeff Dunham. I would like to know if you can explain to me and the listeners how ventriloquism works?

Hope you can help.

Have a nice day.

Yours in Music
Joss van der Linde

What do you think?

I understand that it is a matter of creating illusion, and part of that involves choosing words for the dummy that involve minimal mouth movement for the ventriloquist.
