Oklahoma is my home. It's definitely slower paced than California.
I have to control my mouth - and that's hard enough - and then I have to manipulate the puppet and make it look real - like, make its interactions look real. And then I have to sing at the same time, and I have to have my facial expressions reacting to the puppet... So it's a lot going on, and I have to focus on every single thing at the same time.
I do a lot of vocal exercises and drink hot tea, which I hate.
I don't like sweet, warm beverages. It makes me gag!
My parents prepared me for the worst, hoped for the best.
I usually hold a puppet and play with different voices until something happens and the right voice just hits me. Then, I'll pick a name that just seems to fit the character that naturally comes out.
Singing in multiple voices, especially Oscar's, can make my vocal chords tired.
I was on 'AGT,' and I was like, 'Well, face it Darci, you are just going to probably get out on the first live round.'
I just really like performing for different crowds and seeing different places.
I fangirl when I see someone famous wish me congratulations.
I want to meet Jimmy Fallon. I want to meet Kristin Chenoweth, and I want to meet Ryan Gosling.
Oklahoma has been so great to me.
I got to perform at the Grand Ole Opry, which is just so amazing. That stage is iconic; it was awesome being on it.
I actually am a country music fan. I listen to a lot of Blake Shelton and Carrie Underwood and Maren Morris and Keith Urban.
That was my goal going on 'AGT,' was to keep ventriloquism alive and get it more common, to put it out in the open so kids like me who wanted to pursue it as a passion... can do it.
I would love to get a pug. A puppy, a baby pug - I just want one so bad.
I can't remember if I got recognized at Disneyland. I probably did a couple of times as well, but I can't remember.
I sing 'Blue Moon of Kentucky.' It's a country song. It's one of my favorites to sing.
I started with Katie, a doll I got on eBay on my 10th birthday. I don't use her anymore. I've got a new Katie now, a real ventriloquist's puppet.
All of my puppets have their own personalities, their own background, and they enjoy what they do. How they say things, sing things, how they talk. I kind of created them out of my own personality. They are all me.
