City of Oklahoma and today I'm going to be doing ventriloquism.
There's so many good people here.
I know
I brought my puppet, Petunia.
She's a rabbit.
And she's a little shy, kinda like me.
For me it's always been you know hard to talk to people
I'm not good at eye contact and things like that
I first saw ventriloquism at my church
something clicked... and I was like
I want to do that...
I thought that the puppets like kind of a friend there to help me out along the way
My parents surprised me with a puppet on my 10th birthday.
Ventriloquism kinda helped me uh... find my voice
We're proud of you and we love you
It's really helped me come out of my shell
My shyness is getting better but there is going to be
A lot of faces out there looking at me
I have to be confident.
Hopefully I kind of block everything out
and I kinda get a little spunky
Alright, I love you.
I'm so proud of you
Without my puppet with me
I never would have imagine walking out on to the Americans got talent stage
There she is
Hello. Ohhh look
How are you?

I'll tell you what's important Darci,
We had had an act earlier on
whom were very good but that's it I'm not gonna remember them in an hour
We're gonna remember you in a week and a month and a year
You're both brilliant.
And when you've got it,
you've got it.
I think what you do is really special and I wanna know where you found that bunny because, wow that bunny can sing so beautifully
Thank you
It was perfect from beginning to end
and I loved everything about it

Your puppet I'm guessing is exactly like you
very charming and adorable
You made my heart melt.
You are brilliant
