I should have been more careful about the way I worded my Avenue Q comment. 
When I said that they worked in tandem, I was just quoting an interview. I 
can't necessarily say that I agree or disagree with that idea. I haven't 
actually seen Avenue Q, so I can't really comment on it.

I had never really thought about this before, but I think it's all about 
energy. A ventriloquist seems to share the energy on stage while a puppeteer 
gives it all to the puppet. I think this is why, when I perform I never hear 
anyone say, "Your lips are moving!", because the energy is on the puppet... 
Either that or I'm just not that interesting to watch. This is a whole new 
idea I hadn't given any thought to. I guess I've never seen bad puppeteers 
perform like this before.
