Ventriloquist Terry Fator sits down to talk with Tom about show business, ventriloquism and his career. A lot has changed for Terry since he won America’s Got Talent. This video was taken in his dressing room at the Mirage before a show. (The chairs were VERY comfortable!)

Video Transcript:

If you couldn’t perform, if you couldn’t be on-stage doing ventriloquism, did you have a backup plan? No, not really. Okay. Many acts become successful because they leave themselves no other choice. A laser focus on intensity on one outcome motivates them to succeed. I am certain that there are plenty of entertainers out there that had the same backup plan, but didn’t achieve their goal. It doesn’t work for everyone, but it did for Terry Fator.


The entire video is available to members of Discussions On Showmanship. An online course Tom has created to help people improve stage presence, presentation skills and develop showmanship.
