Today I thought I would lighten the mood of today’s blog and write about ventriloquism. I got interested in ventriloquism at the age of 14. It was actually one of my younger brothers who saw the ad in a comic book about throwing your voice and sent in the quarter to get the [...]
I have a great selling tip for you today, but before I get to it, I need to clear up a situation.
One of the things I hear from time to time from some of my readers (and used to get it from my salespeople when I was a sales manager), is something along the lines [...]
When we last met, I had just shown you pictures of “Rocky”, Miss Arkansas, Alyse Eady’s ventriloquist figure after his traveling mishap (if you missed the blog, click here).
Thought it was time to show you some of the progress with “Rocky”. First thing I had to do was take off the wig and pull [...]
As you should know (if you’re a regular reader of my blog), Miss Arkansas, Alyse Eady had a traveling mishap with ventriloquist figure “Rocky” (if you’ve missed the story behind this you can check out one of my previous blogs here: http://stevehurstwebsite.com/miss-arkansas-and-ventriloquist-alyse-eady-to-use-charlie-dawg/ )

Like a lot of ventriloquists I know, I started doing ventriloquism as a kid. When I was 14 my brother who was younger, found an ad in a comic book about throwing your voice and sent off for the book.
After he received it, I was fascinated by it so I started [...]
You may or may not know my association with Miss Arkansas and ventriloquist Alyse Eady. Alyse contacted me about a year ago asking if I had a boy ventriloquist figure she could borrow. I told her I did, we met, I loaned her “Rocky” and they rest, as they say is history.
She went [...]
I have been talking with Alyse and have some “behind the scenes” information that happened before the Miss America Pageant. Plus my own “Charlie Dawg” ventriloquist figure will be performing with Alyse.

Early in my adult life, I had the idea that I would like to “teach”. It all started when I began my sales career at 23. The “bug” to teach was pretty strong at that time.
Now I didn’t want to teach kids in school. I wanted to teach to those who [...]
Today is the anniversary of the passing of one of the greats, Red Skelton. Thinking of this day reminded me that I wrote up a little remembrance about him a couple of days later.
Here’s what I wrote on September 19, 1997:
The Day the Clown Died
I can’t remember if I cried,
when I read about his widowed [...]
July was a busy month for me. The biggest event of the month was the Vent Haven ConVENTion that was held on the 14th – 17th. This is the yearly get together for ventriloquists. It’s always a lot of fun.
But before the ConVENTion, I had to finish up a couple of websites I had been [...]
