Descrição
At the age of ten years old, Megan Piphus was introduced to ventriloquism. Fascinated by ventriloquists’ manipulation of character voices, Megan acquired instructional videos on ventriloquism from the library, bought a toy ventriloquist doll, and began learning. No more than two weeks after watching the videos, Megan performed at her school devotional services with her puppet Charlie and later at her church Zion Global Ministries. After a year of mastering her skill, she began competing at the International Festival of Christian Puppetry and Ventriloquism (I-FEST) winning three gold medals in musical ventriloquism competitions. Since then, Megan has served her community by performing, singing, and playing at various community functions and around the country. In 2008 was featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show: The World’s Smartest and Most Talented Kids. Megan graduated valedictorian of her class at Princeton High School in 2010. Her graduation speech featuring her and her puppet, George, became a hit on YouTube soon after its release. Megan became known throughout her community as the “Valedictorian Ventriloquist.”
As a student at Vanderbilt University, Megan worked as a reporter for Vanderbilt Television and had the opportunity to work as a field reporter for ESPNU. In 2011, after submitting a video showcasing her talent in musical ventriloquism, Megan was chosen to be a contestant on America’s Got Talent YouTube Contest and as a result gained national exposure. Megan was recently crowned Miss Black Tennessee USA 2013 in December of 2012. Shortly after her crowning, she appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno as a ventriloquist on a segment called “Does This Thrill Bill” with William Shatner. In June of 2013, Megan appeared on NBC show America's Got Talent with her characters Princess and Monica in front of celebrity judges Mel B, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, and Howard Stern and received four yes's from all four judges to continue onto the Vegas bootcamp round.
