"I think the problem here is the attitude that anyone can pick up a puppet
and be a puppeteer with little or no training...... No one
doubts that actors, singers, dancers, mimes, etc. all need to be trained in
their professions. But somehow it is assumed that because they are trained
in their own fields, any one of them can pick up a puppet and be a great
puppeteer without training in our field."

Very well put.
