I created a website about Paul Stadelman, and you'll find it here;
I also have a page called
for vent stuff I've made.
Scotty's Vent Figure Registry is back on-line,and you'll find it here;
Participate in an on-line vent survey;
Here is a link to an article I wrote a few years ago based on a survey I did on the ventlist
about the use of a stand for figures;
To Stand or Not to Stand, That Was The Question.
Here is a page for any shows I might be doing;

I have also put up a page of "fun stuff".
There are a couple of small games on there, and some winamp skins I created.
Member:
Here is my story of how I became a
ventriloquist:
I decided to become a ventriloquist. I learned
that being a ventriloquist involves substituting certain sounds and the
way they are made, and that one of the challenges is to do this and still
speak clearly. A speech therapist suggested putting marbles in my mouth
and practicing speaking clearly with them there. I bought a large supply
of marbles and did this extensively, usually while I was taking my daily
walk. Of course, occassionally I would stutter or choke and have to spit a
marble or two out, and often I couldn't find them.
However, I
persevered and, sure enough, just about the time I had lost all my
marbles, I became a ventriloquist.
Note from Dave: At the
risk of sounding like I'm bragging, Being much more advanced than others,
I lost my marbles way before I learned ventriloquism.
Ventriloquism Is Just Like Life, You Spend A Lot Of Time Talking To
Dummies.
