Wanting to follow my dream

[doctort13]

I don't remember who said it, but the best way to start becoming a puppeteer is to get a puppet and practice.

I am a vice president of the Cincinnati Area Puppetry Guild, and I am still learning new things all the time (I am 40 years young).

So make or build a puppet, write a script, and start a show!

Downunder -

1. Get a puppet
2. Jiggle it around until it looks like it's alive

By a "show of hands" how many people reading this are puppeteers with NO formal training?

well if its as easy as that I'm halfway there already. I need more confidence to do voices though.
