  • Read This Please! - AUDIO mono- On Channel Two Only. 1984 was before Jeff Dunham. I produced this great talent For My Variety TV Show Backstage In Arizona. 1984 Even before Terry Fator was even doing Ventriloquism! A true pioneer in the art of Comedy Ventriloquist Dan Horn remains "The Best" In 1984 - You Be The Judge? Dan has a large cast of characters- He is amazingly skilled at the craft of ventriloquism and manipulation. Produced in Scottsdale Arizona Dan Horn - still performs mainly on cruise ships, and I expect you will be seeing more from him in the future. Thanks For Watching!

    It's absolutely unbelievable how lifelike this man makes his puppet. The skills involved are insane. Better than most these days.

    @seanjosephhayes Před 9 lety +177

    What impresses me most is his ability to move the arms using the sticks so well and to good humorous effect too instead of clumsily and without even thinking about it too much while he does the ventriloquism and material.

    Wow this is some amazing talent! Aside from throwing his voice, he's also controlling the puppet's face with his right hand ,the puppet's hands while, technically, talking to himself. The puppet even has life-like mannerisms. Talk about multi-tasking.

    I think the reason this guy is better is because of the life that goes into the dummy, its not just moving its mouth, his whole upper body moves like a real person.

    @YugeYun Před 10 lety +6

    Amazing how he can control so many things at the same time. Head, sticks, voice and his experessions. Usually ventriloquists have a very emotionless face when they talk from their stomach but he looks very casual.

      @orion7460 Před 4 lety +3

      They're both good in their own ways. Dan is good on the actual ventriloquist aspect of it and the movement of the puppet, while Jeff is more on the design of the puppets, and making them feel more "lively" as their own thing. Jeff's puppets aren't as mobile on terms of how he can move them, but he makes up for it by making their movement limits part of his acts and jokes. Dan's puppets aren't as well designed, but he makes up for it with the higher mobility and better voicing.

    Aaand now I see where Jeff Dunham's "Walter" character came from.

    • @Kurachi84
      @Kurachi84 Před 9 lety +1

      Redbeard The Pink well, jeff dunham bases his characters on what he sees in life, and "old grumpy people" is 1 of them
      as for peanut..... he makes fun of everyone alot and is a little (sometimes more) hyperactive, maybe it really is jeff's other side, or maybe he really was stoned or such when he came up with him
      anyway, any ventriloquist would make 1 grumpy one, as they can be used in many funny ways

    • @redbeardthepink4809
      @redbeardthepink4809 Před 9 lety

      Kurachi84 Right, but I'm pretty sure I've heard Dunham borrow that joke about nobody caring if an ugly girl leaves you while playing Walter.

    @Archeo69 Před 3 lety +2

    This is the best ventriloquist performance I have ever seen, obviously there is funnier or maybe more creative performances but when it comes to physical talent this guy is on another level. The body language he adds to Orson, the way he acts and laughs at Orson making it look even more real and the fact that you can't see his lips move is insane. Dan Horn is great

  • @Ventriloquist24x7

    • @MKF30
      @MKF30 Před 3 lety +1

      @Kroger Babb I wouldn't say wanna be he is a ventriloquist perhaps your particular standards are high but doesn't discredit Jeff's skill any less or make him any less of a professional ventriloquist than Dan or anyone else. Both are great like the original poster stated for different reasons and honestly well above mostventriloquist, let's be honest.. I have voice acted before which is challenging but not NEARLY as challenging as ventriloquism. Been getting more heavily into ventriloquism the past few years, it's a skill you can't take breaks from unless you've been doing it for years honestly and it's not easy by any means. Don't knock it or a professional til you've tried it. Then believe me you learn to appreciate the skill more.
      It's easy to be a backseat driver watching these guys, criticize them much like fans on their couch complaining about that guy striking out 3 times in a row against a solid pitcher then you try to do it yourself and people would do the same to you. It's not as easy as it looks or as some may make it look.

    • @MKF30
      @MKF30 Před 3 lety

      @Kroger Babb Honestly if you watch every ventriloquists lips except for Dan's who's a rare exception, most of their lips move a little here and there but honestly too unless you focus on just that exclusively then you'll notice it and it'll distract you from the act, everything else. Unless it's really, really obvious which for Jeff its not. I don't think that makes himself an amateur otherwise he wouldn't have succeeded as a professional ventriloquist. Also keep in mind changing the voice is also key which has great at, not all ventriloquists can do this well. Altering your voice pitch, remembering your act and doing ventriloquism is not easy yet Jeff can do all 3. To be fair who isn't concerned with their career though?
      I am not one to constantly compare with something like this as I enjoy both but I think in terms of just ventriloquism not moving your lips, yes Dan is better but also better than everyone just about. As far as characters, voices etc I'd say Jeff is better at that. So they're both good at certain things the other may lack a little in but being a fan of both I can't complain.

    • @MKF30
      @MKF30 Před 3 lety

      @Kroger Babb If I may which part in the video did Bergen moved his lips or mouth? I didn't see it move at all lol over his career I rarely if ever see him move his lips and here he did not from what I can tell. But you pointing that out just proves what I said earlier regarding all ventriloquists move their lips sometimes. It's literally impossible to put on an act for 10 to 30 minutes depending and talking while having full control of your lip muscles saying certain words. This is also why sneaky ventriloquists will also grimace, alter the angles of their heads or move their heads themselves to take the audiences attention away from their face or lips especially and more focused on the dummy or puppet.
      I don't know who you're referring to with the world will see a true ventrioloquist when ita already have. Also some have also been on America's got talent as well as the world has talent shows. Some of them you can see move their lips but others hardly to not at all.

    Dan's technique is great and stands up to video scrutiny quite well. And I've never seen anyone operate the figures hands so effectively. I had the pleasure of seeing Dan, live, back in the 80's in the Phoenix area and the audiences (myself included) couldn't help but have the feeling that puppet was real and empathize with "him".
