Question

ventriloquisim

Answer 1

With all due respect to you, I find them as "Creepy" as Clowns.

  In any study of that aspect of "ACTING" I suspect one should notice that the "DUMMY" is a TOOL, and most definitely an Alter-Ego, the Operator can use, even to the point of being offensive, and get way away with it. The depth of any psychological reasons may never be known, but it is certainly an extension of the operators personality, not usually expressed publicly.

   While I will agree that a level of TALENT is required, and is most obvious in the most talented, the rationale remains the same. More so in a parody sense, as a comedic act, the operator might intentionally be quite obvious in lip movements, etc. The idea still being, the attention, is on the DUMMY.
