From:
Steve Hurst RE: Building Your Own Ventriloquist Dummy
Dear Ventriloquist Figure Builder,
Would you like to build your very own professional ventriloquist
figure? Well you can, if you really have the desire.
Does this sound too good to be true? Impossible even? I realize
this might sound so extravagant or difficult, you'll be tempted
to dismiss it as hype. But I urge you to read on. You're
going to see that what I’m about to tell you is not as difficult
as you might think…AND…can be a lot of fun!
Picture this: You are on stage doing your ventriloquist
act. Your audience is enjoying your show, laughing at everything
your new partner is saying. Your show goes smoothly and at the
end you get a glorious round of applause. You walk off stage
with a wonderful feeling knowing you’ve just had the best show
of your life AND…you did it with a figure you built with your
own two hands.
This can
be a reality and you can build your very own ventriloquist
figure. All you need is the right information and system
to accomplish this endeavor.
Who Am I
And Why Should You Listen To Me?
I’m Steve Hurst and most of you know me as the webmaster for
Ventriloquist Central. I learned figure building from one
of the masters….Ray Guyll. You may have read some of my
articles “Saturday’s With Ray Guyll”. Not only do I know Ray and
Barbara personally, it really goes far beyond that….to me Ray
and Barbara are family.
They have welcomed me
with open arms and I’ve attended many holiday functions at their
home. (SIDE NOTE: Barbara is a great cook and makes one of the
best Thanksgiving dinners I’ve ever had….she really goes all
out…and don’t get me started on Christmas and the 2 Christmas
trees she puts up (one is about 8-9ft, the other 6-7ft)…with
decorations all over the house).
I’ve sat in Ray’s workshop many a day, listening to him teach me
about figure building. Ray is an excellent teacher. In fact, Ray
has taught many people over the years about figure building.
His artistic style and abilities are amazing. Ray has
built figures from all types of mediums….carved heads out of
basswood, made heads from fiberglass, paper mache, polyurethane
and more.
He has his own unique style, yet he’s also able to imitate and copy some of
the masters of the past, Frank Marshall, the McElroy Brothers
to name a couple. In fact, at the 1997 Ventriloquist convention
that was held in Las Vegas,
the Jerry Mahoney that
Paul Winchell used during his presentation….was made by Ray
Guyll. I feel very fortunate that Ray has taught me so
much about figure building.
But it
wasn’t always this way.
I started out like most in ventriloquism…when I was a kid. I
remember getting the Fred Maher Catalog showing all the great
dummies and wanting so badly to have one. I knew I couldn’t
afford one of those new dummies, so I decided to try and build
my own. Using the information from Paul Winchell’s book, I tried
to make a paper mache head. However, I failed miserably.
You see, I really didn’t have any artistic talent and decided
that I just didn’t have what it takes to build my own figure.
A few years later, I thought I would give it another try. This
time, I thought I would try to carve a head out of wood. Once
again….disaster.
Years later, (in my 30’s at the time) I decided to give it
another try. I was older, smarter and thought I would try to
carve another head once more. However…..disaster again.
In my 40’s I vowed to build a dummy somehow. I couldn’t carve,
so I tried a few other methods and finally I was able to make my
first ventriloquist figure. He was not perfect, but he was mine.
I had built this figure a few years before I had met Ray &
Barbara. But after a few times working with Ray in his
shop, learning everything he taught me, I remember going
home, taking the wig off of my dummy, pulling the back of the
head off and started to replace all the mechanics inside the
head with what I had learned from Ray.
In fact, it seemed that every time I would learn something new,
I would be taking my dummy apart, changing or adding things. As
time passed, I started building a few figures of my own, some I
kept, some I gave away and even restored a couple of them along
the way….enjoying the thrill of building a ventriloquist dummy.
So, if someone like me….who doesn’t have a lot of artistic
talent can build a ventriloquist figure, so can you.
Along with Ray’s guidance and permission, I’m passing this
information along to you.
Steve,
I purchased your Ultimate Guide To Building Your Own
Ventriloquist Figure Vol.1 DVD's just over five
months ago.
Let me first say, these are a MUST HAVE! I have
always wanted to build my own figure and your DVD's
gave me the confidence to get started as well as
valuable information with the whole process! Your
advice saved me a lot of frustration since this was
my first time at figure making.
I now know I can begin my second figure and it will
be even more exciting than the first one. The
information in the Ultimate Guide DVD's are
invaluable! I enjoy watching them over and over
again to gain more insight on figure building.
I can't wait to get into the mold making process and
duplicate one of my own figure heads! The Ultimate
Guide DVD's were exactly what I was looking for and
needed!
Thanks so much for creating them. You truly are an
inspiration to me with all the nuts and bolts of
information you share in order to produce a
ventriloquist figure.
Thanks Again!

Hi Steve,
I purchased the “The ULTIMATE Guide To Building Your

has been a long term ambition of mine right from
child hood when I used to make cardboard dummies.
Now all I need to finish the one I have made from
your course is to clothe him. As soon as I have
clothes for him I will send some photos for you to
