Does anyone know if any Muppeteers or people that train Muppeteers ever wrote a book on performing puppetry? One that talks about techniques for keeping life in a puppets and that talks about lip-sync.
Thanks

I'd be really interested if someone could actually dig up some stuff like this.

I got a book for Christmas about Puppetry. I can't say if the person who wrote it is a Muppeteer or associate with them in anyway. But it might be useful.

It's called "The Complete Book of Puppets and Puppeteering" by Robert Ten Eyck Hanford

Hope that helps any.
