I'm pumped to have found Hive and psyched to share my ventriloquist act with all of you. Once it's ready (written).
Ventriloquism (ventriloquy) is the most unique of duets. Human and ventriloquial figure (we do NOT use the D word) bonded, for life, one shared soul, a singular entertaining unit. Once begun, the bonding process can only be undone by the death of ventriloquist or ventriloquial figure (this is why so many ventriloquists are murdered by their ventriloquial figure, by the way). Choosing with whom to enter into this irreversible bond is the single biggest decision a ventriloquist will make.
Following the Revised Bergen Method I've been honing my act for coming on seven years this February.
For those not familiar, here's how The Method's seven years break down:
Acquisition of one's ventriloquial figure is where the Bergen Method and its revised cousin part ways. Bergen strictly prescribes that once a ventriloquist has refined their act they must then work with a Bergen-certified ventriloquial figure artist, who handcrafts a figure custom suited to their act. Figures typical cost upwards of $125,000. The revised method is a little more practical and allows for the ventriloquial figure to be purchased off eBay during the act-creation process with material written to suit the purchased figure.
Here's the exciting part Hive. I want to include YOU in my figure-selection process. I've narrowed my future soulmate down to the five figures below. What I need from you is to read about each and, in the comments, tell me with whom I will be eternally bonded.
