But being on stage made her nervous, so having the puppets helped Darci overcome her shyness.
#2. Darci Fell in Love with Ventriloquism from the Start
She was a shy child, but loved performing on stage. After witnessing a ventriloquist perform at her church, and then again at a pageant she attended, Darci decided she wanted a puppet of her own. And at the age of 10, she got one! For her birthday that year, her parent’s gifted her the puppet she so desperately wanted, and that was when this little entertainer was born. She taught herself the ventriloquism basics, and though it was considered a dying talent, Darci Lynne fell in love with it.
#3. What Is Her Family Like?
Darci Lynne has three brothers —Nate, Dalton, and Nick— and the family of six enjoys a good outing every now and then. They go on vacation and holidays together, along with their extended family.
