Again I am alerting everyone that has placed an ad on the Ventriloquist Marketplace that there is a scammer lurking to take your personal information and or money.
This scammer is going by the name of Summer Lazareth or Summer Lazarev. They say they will pay you by PayPal and want you to give them your PayPal information. They also say they will have someone pick the item up from you.
Listen to me it is a SCAM!!
Much talk has taken place over the weight of ventriloquist figures and for the life of me I just don’t understand what the fuss is all about. I understand that it is great for a figure to be light weight for transportation purposes but does it really matter in performance.
Most ventriloquists of the “Golden Era” sat down and had the figure sitting on their knee or even stood with one foot on a chair and the figure on the knee. In either of these poses the weight of the figure is on the leg so the weight has no matter.
Here’s this weeks blog from ventriloquist Bob Abdou:
Last week’s advice blog stirred up some conversations. One particular was about the imitation of other vents. That made me want to write about a topic that is taboo and usually avoided – stealing material. (*gasp*)
Before I start, let me say that any opinions expressed in this blog, are strictly mine and not those of Ventriloquist Central, Venthaven Convention and should not be rebroadcast or retransmitted without the express written consent of Major League Baseball.
Tonight we interview figure maker, Pastor Scott Bryte on Ventriloquist Central Telephone Talk.
Scott Bryte has been mentioned many times here on Ventriloquist Central and there are two of his figures in the Ventriloquist Central Collection (click here to see Scott Bryte figures).
As would happen I was contacted by Ilene Wonsover, formally known as Miss Karnow. She was am actress, singer, dancer and ventriloquist and came from the Chicago area.
At a very young age she used a Juro Figure but showed promise so her mother hooked her up with Paul Stadleman and she took lessons from him. With this her mother decided to purchase Ilene a pro ventriloquist figure and contacted a young and up and coming vent figure builder named Brian Hamilton.
