How To Be a Ventriloquist! Lesson 2 | JEFF DUNHAM

- Опубликовано: 4 фев 2018
- A few years ago I released an instructional DVD of ventriloquism lessons called “How To Talk To Yourself.” It was included with my Little Jeff ventriloquist’s dummy, but that was the only way to get it! The lessons feature Walter, Peanut, Achmed, Little Jeff and myself showing you the ventriloquial basics in 10 easy parts! But who uses a DVD player anymore!? So because of popular demand, I have decided to upload all the chapters of this DVD so you too can follow along and learn the art of ventriloquism right here on RUclips! Watch them all!

"What letter sounds like b in the alphabet"
"h!!"
"not even close"
"oh"
Well when you can’t make a b then I guess h is the closest to a b
Cuz that’s what my b sounds like the hot hot a haskethall

Six months ago, I started working on ventriloquism. I remember reading the comments and being semi-discouraged. At the time I couldn't do the "B" sound. I've been able to do it for months now. Keep working! It is possible! Give yourself some time, and keep practicing! You can do it.
Thanks, Jeff for the tutorials. You helped me start out with ventriloquism! Hope to thank you in person some day.
Good luck, everyone! You can totally do it.
thx for d motivation
Thanks, man
Hey is there something I'm missing I've been practicing for hour is there a different way you could explain doing the b sounds
Thx 🙏🏻
@@novaisme1633 Sorry for the really late reply. Hopefully you've figured it out by now. I will attempt to explain it as best as I can. I was talking with a professional ventriloquist and telling him how I got the "b" sound finally and he said, "Oh yeah, I remember when I finally could feel what making that sound was like." So it's weird, unnatural, and hard to explain. I'll try my best.
Think about what's happening with your mouth when you make the "b" sound normally moving your lips. It's essentially built up pressure in your mouth from closing it, and then saying the "ee" sound. So what you have to do is close the air off from inside your mouth rather than outside your mouth. To do that, make a "bottom lip" with your tongue. Curl up your tongue behind your teeth as if it was your bottom lip, and the roof of your mouth was your upper lip. Then, you can simulate the build up of pressure in your mouth without using your lips. Then, you almost flick the tip of your tongue down, releasing the pressure and making the "ee" sound.
I honestly don't know how I came to be able to do it. I sat in front of a mirror like an idiot for 15 minutes a day talking to myself, and it finally clicked. Slowly. Each piece, "F" "B" "W", all of them. Some easier than others.
Final thing. In my talk with the professional ventriloquist, he told me his difficulty in making one of the sounds. I found that sound to be one of the easier ones for me to learn, but I study Japanese and I found it similar to the Japanese sound "ra" ら. So, people have different experiences in it, and I am still a very early beginner in terms of my ability. I just want to encourage everyone, because I remember thinking how blasted impossible this whole thing felt, and then--all of a sudden--I could do it.
Hope it helps. Sorry if it didn't. It's easier to do than it is to describe.
My mum came into my room to ask why I was saying "The doy dought a dasketdall" lol!
OOf same here! She doesnt support me in this! She said "thats for boys! Its for children"
Me is discouraged...
Belgielyn Marie Allocod don’t listen to people like them no offense if u have a dream stick to it Next Year I’m Going to Enter Agt for Season 16 and I’ve practiced for a few months and got the hang of it really easy and still gonna keep practicing till I can tell a story wish me Luck 👍🏻😄
@@Realswifter_ good luck. Do u have any tips because Jeff Dunham just tells us to think a letter and say the other. But is there an angle to put your tongue or what?
@@belgie1356 don't be discouraged. If it's what you want to do then do it. Don't let anyone bring you down.
Leollusion if u put ur Tongue and put it Behind ur top 2 front teeth it sounds like d at first but trust me in a couple of hours or days max it will get to sound like b and same with p take ur tongue put it in the position and say t put as I said in a couple days or even hours depending how much time u put into it u can do mate if u want tips aswell Go Over to Darci Lynne Teaching Ventriloquism and she will show the letters like w p b y and more :) but I hope I helped best I could and good luck
Are we just going to ignore how even as he said "Say D think B" in peanut's voice... he was saying B... without it perfectly.
That's impressive, and all for something you'd never notice
ICExz13 so technically he said Say D think D 😂
Also you clearly haven’t seen his work when he is teaching us he shows how it will sound at first with the puppet it’s like acting he’s acting the puppet like the puppet had never tryed it before when he is just puppeting UOU would never notice
It's at 2:02. It was so flawless that I had to search for a little while 😅
"The Doy Dought a Dasketdall."
"That was Awful."
Had me lying on the ground dead
Mine came out like the doy dought a dasketdall 😂😂
Mine too.
Lol sameee

Hang on OMG I ASKED HIM TO GIVE OUT VNTRILOQUISM LESSIONS!! I CANT BELIVE IT
I have always found ventriloquism fascinating, partly because as a kid I used to sing quietly to myself on the school bus without moving my lips and there were always a few letters that never quite sounded right. Great video! Thank you for the information.
This is the nicest interaction between Jeff and peanut ever
Is there a technique or angle of the tounge? Ive been trying for hours it still sounds like a D

Dude this is messing with my dyslexia 😂😂🤔
IF YOU HAVE DYSLEXIA HOW DID YOU WRITE THIS COMMENT
@@ryleighlyon8061 you can speak into the phone and it writes what you say
@@ryleighlyon8061 also autocorrect and it doesn't mean they're illiterate
Mines coming out like a V - going to continue practising in front of the mirror. I only hope they don’t throw me out of Home Depot before I’m done! 🤣
That Gaijin Fella lol me to its just sounds like "vhe voy voght a vascevall' Xd
Lol!
How can y’all say V without moving your lips to replace B
Say what you will about his comedy - you can't deny he's a damn good ventriloquist.
I keep hearing myself pronouncing a strong « D », it doesn’t sound like a « B » at all. So difficult :(
It has to take time. Remember to think B while say D. Try saying other words with b substituting D in them.
Say it lightly so it sounds like a b

@@AwesomepuppygirlHolt тнaт doeѕn'т worĸ ғor мe :\
i kind of also use the v sound but that's because i know the v sound so when you know the v or w sound use it?
i dunno i don't think that was helpful but i'm posting it anyway
I've been practicing a few minutes at a time for a couple days now. I'm able to get "basketball" to sound right, still working on "boy" and "bought". Don't get discouraged if you don't get it right away. As Jeff says, it's all about practice.
I struggle with b
Type in Terry Peterson He'll Help you !!

Try clicking your tongue at the top of your mouth when you say d
I did it! Took 3 months though
.. thanks Jeff!

YAAAAAY! VENTRILOQUISM!!!
What do you mean
VAT DO U MEan
Jeff, thank you for the lesson. I don't see me ever being as good as you or getting into the profession. However, I always enjoy trying new things and having fun.
Well, it does take a long time with a lot of practice. Don't think Jeff didn't practice for a long time as a kid. He got better and better as he got older. It's the same with anything. And you can just do vent for fun. Not every vent wants to get up on stage and perform for others-they do it as a hobby. Or they do it in their profession, like a teacher sometimes may use vent figures for lessons.
Ok, I just came out of my bathroom, after standing in front of the mirror and doing this for about an hour. My daughter looks at me oddly and says " Is something wrong, Who were you talking to?"
He’s so good but he’s making him self look bad just to teach us you’ve always been my favorite ventriloquist
This was a great lesson. I am secretly working on my ventriloquism skills and hope to entertain my grandchildren soon. I have my ventriloquist character now and now I need to train him how to speak.
Puppet: I can’t do it!! It’s imPossiBle (nails it) 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m doing what he says, say “D” but think “B”...but...when I say “The Boy Bought A Basketball” all I can hear is The Doy Dought A Dasketdall
I've tried many other peoples videos and I found yours and you're actually helping me!! Thanks SO SO SO SO much!!
😂 the intro peanut talking to Jeff not realizing that they're on. Intrestinting the rest of video
I love your videos and I am pretty close to getting it just need to practice more more and more
So I've been practicing this while singing cos I luv singing
U know how songs always say "baby"?
Well it sounds like Daddy XD
😂
Mine sounds like deity, and I don't know if that is better or worse.
i practiced the sentence “think B but say D” as well. that’s a tough one
i need better explanation i cant think one letter and say another! i have a one track mind like a fish or a small dog xD
You are really a genius . The more I see you more I get amazed ❤️
Peanuts my FAVORITE!!! 🤙🏼😃🤙🏼
Chad Cole same😊
Lol me to
Same
When the master teaches you the techniques that means he is so far ahead you're not even a threat. I mean us.
OH MY GOD THIS IS GOLD!
I am just starting to learn ventriloquism and it’s already taking a bumpy road 😂😂😅
Thanks Jeff!! Keep up the good work!!
Watching this currently with my 7 yo who is eager to learn! So glad we came across this♥️
your my favorite ventriloquist of all time
I started to watch your lessons in order to learn it! I will use it while teaching English to my junior class I hope :)
For people that are still hearing d when trying it, what’s worked for me is softening the sound so it’s not as easy to hear a solid “d” and of course practising the sentence and other words beginning or word that have B 😄
What do you mean by softening! How do I do that?
@@therealhousewivesofroblox7794 really it’s just saying ‘d’ but not enhancing it. It’s kinda hard to explain but just to softly say it instead of a solid d, practicing it should help it come along too :)
Mine sounds like "The oy ought a asketdall"
Its so hard ive been trying for hours.
If u still here a D, this is something to help u... Press ur tongue against ur two front teeth. Then, when u say D, take ur tongue away from ur teeth. Takes practice to do it so fast, but u will eventually get it!
Awesomepuppygirl2008 Holt I cant
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Still doent work though
I love your videos and I love your puppets and there a awesome star
What is so interesting to me is how to throw your voice. I once met Sherri Lewis and Lambchop, and she could make it sound like her voice was behind you. It amazed me as a youngster.
Now I look and act like Walter.
Another reason why you are so successful s that you are a great comedian. Some people are just naturally funny. You have such a talent for making people laugh. I lost it when Achmed got his legs duct taped down. It's amazing how you can take something that isn't planned and make it so funny. I wish I could see you live, or even go flying with you, but I just am not able to.
Thank you so much for the joy you bring.
Smiles.
I've been wanting to learn ventriloquism for my Kermit impression and this is helping me out so much! Thank you!
A quarantine well spent
Thank u sir
Helped learn a new skill
Thank you! These lessons have been helping and my parents are going to buy me a professional doll if I get good at it!
It still comez out as doy ughh!
Ikr
These are helping me a lot :D
The doy doght a daskest doll! 👍🏻 💚
Thank you, Jeff and Peanut! 👍🏻
During lockdown i start trying this thankew sir...
You are my favorite ventriloquist!
Love your shows! 🙂🙂
In "meet little ugly jeff" peanut was the best
I struggled a lot on this but at the end I got it
It just sounds like I’m mumbling even tho I’m technically doing it right
I love your lessons ro more
Mine sounds like “the they thought a thasketthall” 😂
mine too
I remember back in the day seeing you perform at 6 flags in Arlington.
And he had different characters, which he should bring back.
I’ve been trying for a week and it sounds like the doy dought a dasketdall meanwhile peanuts tried three times and nailed it. Either he’s amazing or I just really ain’t trying enough. Keep up the good work Jeff 😃
its freaking harrrrrd dunham
*Jeff Dunham*
Thanks for the heart you could've given to Achmed but gave to my comment instead.
_I KEEL YOU!!!_
At the start of my practicing: Say D think B
At the end of my practicing: Say B think D
:when peanut is your favorite
This reminds me of the Music Man. It's the " Think System " of learning!
Mine actually comes out more of an 'h' sound, it's hard for me, but I'll keep going, thanks jeff!
Actually I am learning this with pure intention of messing with people😅
Good video
My B is coming on I started 3 days ago! I'm so happy 😁😀
I'm still practicing but for me it seems like repeating each word over and over again is easier
Great video! But I feel like it's easier making a 'B' sound while using 'W'
OMG THAT WORKS THANKS FOR HELPING ME
@@Donutsever does he mean say w or the sound?
Yes it works
@Donuts4ever 123 OMGGGG NPP SJSJSJS im so happy hahaha
@Foxy Arts sound
You are litqrrly a god in ventriqulism 😂😂😂
I almost got it YESSSS!!!
👋 is the best part in my lives I have no idea how long I can
I give up ventriloquism! I can’t say the boy bought a basket ball without using my lips!
Never give up think of the pranks you can pull
“The doy dought a dasketdall.” Pretty easy for Me.
it has to sound like b
after an hour without the mirror I still master it
I finally did it yay
ventriliquism is challenging without a dummy.
Still working on my B's just the way you said.
WHAT ELSE IS IN THE BOX..jeeeyEEEEEEEEEEEFF???? XD
I haven’t done this with my little Jeff in over three years, to be honest I kinda miss doing it
Thought I would try something new 😊
Why did I decided to become a Ventriloquist you ask? gotta make school more interesting some how.
The man is crazy
Thanks
Anyone else ended up saying, "the boy bought a testicle"?
OMG THHHANNNKK YOUUUU
I laughed for a complete 10 minutes because of the doy dought a dasketdall
I am suspicious, that not Jeff is the ventriloquist but Peanut! 😂👍
This is my second time doing this don’t get me wrong it’s really fun but this is the hardest lesson
Lol nice
1:54 "I didn't try" Oh yeah ya did!
😂Thanx!
I sound like I just woke up when I try to say it , mumbling
I struggle with b and m thank you
The doy dought a dasket doll 😂😂😂
finally someone with lips
Soooooo hard but he is a ventriloquist so he is telling the truth
