Ventriliquism takes lots and lots of practice. I don't ever expect to be as good as the professionals, but do a fair job. However, you can set up a puppet stage and that way you don't have to do ventriliquism. You will probably get more help from folks this way as they can use a script and don't have to memorize a routine. This still takes practice to get the moves down and get folks use to manipulating their thumb so much. For VBS this year I will be in clown, while my counterpart will be in the puppet stage. You can build one economically using PVC or even cardboard (refridgerator box).
