The Muppet Show - Dr. Salamander

[Stephen10528]

How do they do the voices for the muppets? I mean how do they get the voice to sound like it's coming from the muppet's mouth & how do they make sure they do the voice at the right time; exactly when the muppet's mouth is moving?

@Stephen10528 The puppeteer below the puppet speaks at the same time he performs the character. So when he talks he moves his hand in sync with what he's saying.

@MontyMuppet12 Thanks but what's the answer to my 1st question; how does the puppeteer make his voice sound like it's coming from the muppet?

[MontyMuppet12]

@Stephen10528 He's has a microphone headset that is live on set while he performs. They really just practice and become experts at timing hand to mouth movements.
