Ventriloquism was a skill people only saw on black-and-white television back in the 1960s. Most people thought it was a hobby for grandpas until a young girl took the stage in 2017. Darci Lynne Farmer was only 12 years old when she decided to try to save this old art form from being forgotten forever.
The young girl looked shy at first, but her puppet, Petunia, was very bold. When the music for the song Summertime started, Darci kept her mouth completely shut while the puppet sang like an opera star. It was hard to believe because she hit very high notes without moving a single muscle in her face.

The people in the crowd could not believe their eyes or their ears. One viewer said that they had never seen anything so perfect from someone so young. Another person mentioned that we all can count on her to revive ventroquilism. The judges were so happy that they hit the Golden Buzzer, sending her straight to the finish line.
Darci went from a shy girl with a puppet to a famous star who everyone wanted to see live. She did not just stay on television; she also started traveling to different cities to perform for her fans. This was a big change because she was now taking a very old tradition and showing it to the whole world.
