How to be a ventriloquist

For about five bucks you can't go wrong. It has some useful tips on ventriloquism for beginners, but there's not a lot of info in this book. I would suggest picking up something else in addition to this book.

Old school book for the modern age

From the get go, when you open the first page you can tell this book was written long ago. It is full of good info on the art of Ventriloquism, and handpuppets or stage performance. I think given the age it was written, you must take the jems of knowlege and try and apply them to today as best you can. I did like the brief history on the art, also Edgar Bergin, was the top of his day. His daughter should be proud of him. I think if you can look past the time this was written, you will enjoy the read.
