Terry Fator was our special guest in the Axtell Customer Forum in Feb 2010.

The Q&A has been preserved here at this link....http://www.network54.com/Forum/660058/




Ax

Looking forward to it! I was just sitting here reading his autobiography, "Terry Fator-Who's the Dummy Now?"

I love Terry. Everywhere I go in the hospitals with my doctor figure...people say..do you know that guy....he's on TV and America's Got Talent.....yesssssssssssss Terry Fator, of course! We have lots of laughs about him. He's done a lot for all of us by bringing Ventriloquism to the surface and doing a good job at it.

Thanks, Terry...I'm sure I'll be thinking of some question for you.

It is going to be a fun forum and I have watched his videos on you tube, always great to learn from the masters and he certainly is one of them.
I will have a few questions directed at him and I hope they are worthy of a responce.

Wow Thanks Steve Can't wait for this one. Chuck

Is there anyone who can click on each visitors name (use the "Sign In Here First" column) and let them know about Terry's upcoming visit? My computer isn't set to automatically go to their emails and I don't want to switch to Outlook Express. Not everyone will list their contact, but several will.

I'm sending our mailing list out to nearly 10,000.

Terry, Thank you soooooo much for giving the world so much joy! xxxxooo...

Hi Steve this is vent friend Mary Kingsley, whom you have met several times at the Vegas and Kentucky conventions. Always good to see your newsletters with all the latest. We had the pleasere of seeing Terry in Vegas last month and chatted afterwards. He has worked so hard and has waited a long time to finally be fully in the drivers seat. Be nice to ask him some questions on your forum. We used to see him at the Rocky Mountain Assocation of Fairs Conv. each year.
Hope that you and the family are well. Thanks again for all that you do for folks in our business.
I need a six or eight pack of DRAGON smoke canisters sent to me whilst I am in the states. Do I order them through your web site??
Thanks Mary Kingsley

You can order via the website, yes.

Got the newsletter. I noticed a clean shaven Magnum P.I. at the top. Great newsletter! I love all the sound effects, extra jokes, and other additions you made to the Ax-Trax scripts. It goes to show that skits can always be improved and two or three heads are better than one!

Hi,
Is this a website meeting or is it going to be in person
Thank you
Craig smith

Terry will be visiting us via the internet forum to answer your entertainment related questions, etc. He will check in on the special page below and post answers and hang out for the 3 days.

Terry Fator's special forum area will be here..

Here are some trivia questions for you:

1. Terry Fator imitates many singers, but which celebrity was the one he wanted to perform with the most?

2. Which hotel hosts the Terry Fator show? What other show is there?

3. How many different Axtell puppets has Terry Fator used in his Vegas shows?

4. How many different singers can we, as a group, name that Terry imitates.

5. He took one singer out of his show recently. Who was that and why?

6. He sings an unrecorded song with the Axtell Jazz trumpet player. It gets the biggest reaction of the night. What is the name of that song?

You may begin posting the questions if you want. Terry will be answering Tues - Thurs of next week.

Some other good ideas for questions you could ask Terry would be:

Advice about agents and managers

Life on the road vs. local performing

Any good stories about the many celebrities he's met?

etc.

If you want to hear Terry singing in his own voice (quite a range!) go to his website. He will be singing the United States' National Anthem at a Feb. 28th Nascar event and there is a video of a past event where he sang. Warning to our friends from Britain... this may bring back sad memories.

There are some thoughtful questions posted for Terry already and a great video of Texas the Band. I double clicked on the video and it led to several more of Terry Fator with Texas the Band. Loved the Beatles as a barbershop quartet!

Thank you very much Terry for giving your time and sharing your skills with us. I bet you are the only Super Star, and you are a Super Star, who would dream of helping learners like us improve our talents in your field. You are a special Bloke!
Best always,
Terry Wild

Just a reminder Terry is not posting in this thread... I've set up a special area just for him here... http://www.network54.com/Forum/660058/

Terry spent several hours yesterday answering questions found on the other page. (see link above.) We greatly appreciate the time out of his busy schedule. Please keep check back again to see if he has had time to answer anymore. You all have done a great job of keeping him thinking and letting him know how much he has meant to ventriloquism as an art form.

Was Terry not on last night? I noticed that our questions stopped receiving answers on the 16th and nothing was answered on the 17th?

It was great getting to pick the brain of the master! Lets do something like this again soon!!

Perhaps Terry meant that he would be here sometime during Feb. 16-18th, which he was. He does have an extremely busy schedule so we'll see what happens.

Yeah... today is the last day and he works in the evenings so I expect him today around mid day / afternoonish. He's loving it! Great questions folks. Ax

I just wanted to say thanks to Terry for taking the time out of his busy schedule to answer our questions. I found the questions and his answers very informative and interesting.
I keep reading them over and over again.

Thank you Tony for sharing with me the idea of hosting the forum with TF. It was awesome.

Ax

Thanks AX!!!!!!!
