The Henson Audition Tape: Website

[Jeffrey Gray]

Scooter:

I don't know anything about how to operate puppets yet, and have no time to learn at the moment, with school in the way. That's why I'm waiting. I hope to do it after I graduate from college (and actually learn something about operating puppets). But by that time, maybe I'll find something else I want to do instead. Either way, it's just a thought at the moment. It'll be a few years until I actually audition...I was just saying that I wanted to be involved with the Muppets in the future.

 

[Joggy]

The best way to learn to operate puppets is just DOING it. Purchase or build a puppet that's easy to perform and start experimenting on movements, voices, expressions... you really don't need classes or anything to get started. Just mess around on your own... Then see if you can pick anything up from lessons (or experiences with other puppeteers, etc)

 

[Jeffrey Gray]

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind...

Ryan-

Forgive the ignorance, but what does "MTR" stand for?

Where can this panel discussion be found?

TravellingMatt-

No problem. MTR stands for Museum of TV and Radio. I have the show which I obtained from trade. E mail me and maybe we can work something out!

 

[Traveling Matt]

No problem, Ryan.

Could you post some of the stuff Kevin says about auditioning here?

Don't rule out a trade though, because I'm expecting a lot of new stuff in the mail from another trade in the next few weeks, so I'll keep ya in mind!
