Reviews:

"This book is incredible. I absolutely LOVE it. I think it can easily be a huge influence on the next generation of vents. Great job."
- Terry Fator, America's Got Talent Winner, Las Vegas Headliner, Ventriloquist

"Most 'how to books' are heavy with the written word instructions. Being dyslexic, reading is not one of my strong points... but that has never affected my ability as a ventriloquist. Thank you, Jimmy Vee, for creating an instruction book for ventriloquists that is illustrated with such clear drawings. It becomes much more accessible for those of us who are reading challenged. I might say... 'a Vent book for the rest of us'."
- Jay Johnson, Tony AwardR Winner - writer and ventriloquist

"I love this book, It's great. So easy to understand for kids and adults too!"
- Celia Munoz, Winner of Spain's Got Talent, America's Got Talent Finalist, Ventriloquist

"Without a doubt this is one of the best beginners' books on ventriloquism I have ever read. I wish I had something like this when I was learning vent, it would have saved me a lot of time."
- Jack Williams, America's Got Talent Top 5 Semi-Finalist, Social Media Influencer, Ventriloquist
