Help...with Occupations

0Hi...02br
02br
00Thank you in advance...for your help. Just wanted to ask a question...02br
02br
00What do you call a person who speaks to a dummy but you can see his/her lips moving (the lips are meant to be moving). I only know that a ventriloquist is one who speaks to a dummy but doesn't have his/her lips moving. One of my students asked me and I tried searching the net..but I guess I just do not know what to look for...so any help would be greatly appreciated.02br
02br
00Thank you heaps !02br
02br
00Sincerely, Devi0-

0So when the dummy is "talking" you can clearly see the human's lips moving? I would call that person a puppeteer. 0-

0I'm only guessing here but try looking up 00Interlocutor to see if this fits what you're looking for. Good luck!0-

0 I don't think you will find a separate word for this. The person is still called a ventriloquist. A bad one maybe, but still a ventriloquist.0-

10On the contrary, it's only when the dummy is speaking to the ventriloquist that the ventriloquist's lips are not moving. 05002br
