Ventriloquism has roots that trace back to ancient civilizations, with early references found in Greek and Roman literature, where it was often associated with religious or spiritual practices. The term itself comes from the Latin "ventriloquus," meaning "belly speaker," reflecting the technique's early use of voice projection and manipulation. Over time, it evolved into a form of entertainment, particularly in the 18th and 19th centuries, when performers began to incorporate humor and storytelling, leading to the modern art form we recognize today.

"There are fewer comedians using dummies in their acts, as ventriloquism does not seem to impress the public any more."
Ventriloquism is when you can talk without moving your lips. So you have to make sure your mouth doesn't move at all when talking ventriloquially or people won't believe that it's not you talking. Usually ventriloquism is used for comedy acts involving the human and the "dummy" (or puppet).
