    Free NON Christian Puppet Scripts?

    Are there any places online that have free puppet scripts that aren't Christian themed? I'm just looking for ordinary scripts about brushing teeth and sharing and stuff. Not Bible stories.

    Camilla's Feathers?

    This question is for everyone, but particularly ravage since hes worked on Camillas before. What are Camillas covered in? Are they white foam with feathers on top? White fur with feathers? Are there sheets of feathered fabric that are used?

    Sound effect Foot pedal

    I didn't know those were operated by foot! No. I'm talking more like a USB pad controller that DJs use, only foot operated.

    Sound effect Foot pedal

    Hey all, I'm looking for a foot pedal board with about 10 to 20 switches that I can program sound effects into. When I press each individual switch I get a different sound effect. I've seen pedals that can program 1 or 2 sounds. I need more than that in one unit. Anyone know of such a thing?

    Help with Developing Puppet Voices

    I think this might help. Take note of the books and free resources on the bottom. Very informative! http://puppetrylab.com/acting-and-characters/voices/ Couple other notes. Look into Singing Technique and check out people who do impressions. Watch some Frank Calliendo videos.

    Puppet Price Calculation

    I like to use Puppetbuilding.com's price calculator but the site seems to be down. Anyone ever charge a client for a puppet when they supply all the materials? I have a similar situation. Need ideas.

    Project: R.O.W.L.F

    No one will build a Rowlf puppet for you. At least no one on this forum. Selling muppet replicas is illegal. Do a forum search on treated fur. Rowlf is not fleece covered. If you want instructions on treating fleece, I believe Project Puppets Monster pattern has instructions for that. PP's site...

    Knees

    Well, I dont work behind a stage. I found one of those collapsible step stools, that should work fine. Although one with wheels would be ideal.

    Knees

    I've recently done some puppetry in an outdoor setting and found myself on my knees for most of the time to get a good shot of the puppet interacting with people. By the end of the day my thigh muscles were trembling with soreness. Anyone else have this problem? Is it better to get one of...

    Too young for puppets?

    I've been noticing that kids between 1 and 3 yrs of age are sometimes freaked out by puppets. I've had more than one occasion where kids in this age group burst into tears if the puppet got close to them. Some do some don't. Any thoughts on handling the situation other than the whole "Let the...

    Double stick tape?

    Wouldn't an adhesive tape tear the fur or fleece fibers?

    Double stick tape?

    I've heard of people using "double stick" tape to put features on a whatnot puppet? What kind of tape are they referring to? The kind of tape I'm thinking of couldn't hold anything on fur or fleece.
