Welcome to VU: Ventriloquist University!
Hey there! I’m Landon Harvey-a professional ventriloquist, puppet builder, actor, and artist who has spent years studying, performing, and teaching the art of ventriloquism while building custom puppets for performers around the world.
I created VU because it’s the kind of place I wish existed when I was learning. A hub that not only teaches you ventriloquism in a fun, creative, and approachable way-but also introduces you to a real community, seasoned performers, and even a potential career path if that’s something you dream of pursuing.
Through my personal lessons and lectures, you’ll learn voices, lip control, puppeteering, character creation, and performance techniques used by working professionals. VU also features exclusive documentaries, behind-the-scenes content, and insight from a slew of today’s top working professional ventriloquists actively working in the industry today.
Whether you’re just starting out or already performing, VU was built to help you grow creatively, gain confidence, and become part of the next generation keeping this incredible art form alive.
Join VU today and start learning from the pros.
VU Mission Statement
"My mission is to inspire and foster the future of ventriloquism through interviews, how-to's, and conversations. This art has been my home, and, in building The Ventriloquist University, my efforts are to create a student body that connects, shares, and grows as a community."
-Landon Harvey, The Dean of VU
