Mr. D's VENTRILO-ETTS: Pilgrims/Puritans

Hi Clinton, The Philippine tarsier (a miniature monkey-like, endangered species endemic to my country) ventrilo-ett you created for me just arrived and I must say he looked great! I initially thought it's impossible but you proved me wrong. The mouth control is smooth as silk, the workmanship is quality all the way. I named him Teroy and I will use him to teach children about the ecology, specifically the endangered species of animal. Your interpretation of the tarsier is a cute, wonderful creation! Thanks, Clinton. Ony Carcamo

My special-order ventrillo-ett in his tuxedo arrived safely today, and he's more than I could have wished for. How you built and sent him on his way to me so quickly is amazing. He became an instant hit, as the customs people had written "Puppet" on the box. The receptionist noticed it, and urged me to open the box right at the front desk so she could see it. I did, and found the stick and finger control so immediately familiar-feeling, that he began chatting with the receptionist right away. Before I knew it, there was quite a gathering around, and there I was, in the midst of an impromptu performance with a figure who still didn't have a name! The "oohs and aaahs" all around helped me to wrap up the debut, with the promise that he'd be back to see them all soon. The ventrillo-etts could well have a sub-title - "instant success". My sincere thanks. Canon John Jordan

Why Ventrilo-ett?

I coined the word "Ventrilo-ett" by combining the two words, "Ventriloquist Puppet". I guess I could have called it a "Puppet-on-a-stick" because that literally is what it is!

The Ventrilo-ett is unique in that it is a hand puppet held and operated from a head post with lever mouth control (hidden by its legs and feet). No hand puppet is easier to operate! Perfect for office, home, classroom, travel ... Pick it up with one hand and begin performing in an instant! Effectively!

For someone wanting to learn to operate a traditional figure, but are not yet able to invest in one, this puppet is the perfect place to start developing the skill and dexterity of operating the larger figure. In fact, this was where the idea for the first Ventrilo-ett was born in 1970.
