Hi,

I got the Maher course back in summer of last year, I've been doing it on and off for a few months but have noticed that it is very difficault to create more than 2 voices which is shown on the DVD.

I've seen Vents like David Strausman (can't spell) and over here in the UK Paul Zerdin and listening to their character voices they arent nasil what-so-ever which leads me to ask, is there other methods of ventriloquism or is it just a case of creating a voice (like an impression of a character) then use the mirror to maximise the quality and volume without lip movement?

Any help would be greatly apprieciated as I'm really stuck at the moment...

PS> does anyone know of any UK societies or conventions?

Thanks,

James Madison

Here is info on a UK Vent mail list on Yahoogroups....
