America’s Got Talent season 17 will air more auditions this week, including this latest leak featuring Indianapolis native Jack Williams.
Jack is yet another ventriloquist to grace the AGT stage. Like many before him, he name checks season 2 winner Terry Fator as the act that inspired him to pursue his craft.
He introduces his “friend” Foster, who claims to be a better ventriloquist than Jack. Turning the tables, so to speak, allows Jack to show off difficult ventriloquism tricks, including quickly rattling off tongue-twisters without moving his mouth, seemingly delaying his voice, talking and throwing his voice at the same time, and a weird echo effect that sounds like the puppet’s voice is moving farther and farther away.
Eventually, the two do a vocal “Freaky Friday” type deal where they talk with each other’s voices. The judges are so impressed they give Jack a standing ovation. The clip does not include their critiques or their verdict. Fans will have to tune in to NBC on Tuesday, June 14 at 8 pm to find out what happens next.
Unsurprisingly, Jack’s vocal effects are a big hit on Tik Tok where he has over 1 million followers and 27 million likes. While he originally hails from the midwest, Jack is currently a Los Angeles based stand-up comedian and ventriloquist with over 10 years of experience. According to his bio, he has played clubs and theaters throughout the midwest and the Los Angeles Comedy club circuit.
