Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maccabe's Art of Ventriloquism and Vocal Illusions: With Full Directions to Learners How to Acquire a Pleasing Vocalization; Showing How to Begin and Practice Marvellous Illustrations of Ventriloquism; With Amusing Dialogues for Beginners, Including the "Repertoire" Of the English Railway Porter The qualities required for a ventriloqulst are flexibility, ordi nary strength in the cartilaginous membrane of the throat and the muscles of abdominal regions, and a power of imitativeness. It will be readily conceded that these qualities are possessed by the majority of people who have no physical defect in these organs. But the power of imitativeness is dependent on a combi nation of qualities of the ear and the voice. The correct imitation of sounds depends entirely upon the ear. A person possessed of the most perfect and highly trained vocal organs, if he have a de fective ear, can neither sing in tune nor imitate sounds correctly, though he be endowed with every other requisite for mimicry. The province of the ear in relation to the production of sounds is very clearly and ably treated of by Dr Pardee, in a paper called The Physical Requirements of Song, published in the Lotos Leavrs, New York, 1875.
