Often Mistaken for Magic, Ria Enes Reveals the Secret Behind Suzan's Voice

Kapanlagi.com - Where there is Ria Enes, there is always the iconic figure of Suzan the Doll. This duo used to be so popular in the 90s because of their music works and their hilarious jokes. And even though they are not as active as before, it seems that the character of Suzan is still alive.

If you have ever watched Suzan and Ria's performance live, you must have been confused about how a doll can interact and speak so fluently. Moreover, Ria, who is beside her, never seems to move her lips at all when Suzan is talking.

Well, recently, Ria and Suzan were invited as guests on the YouTube channel Call Me Mel, hosted by Melaney Ricardo and Ichsan Akbar. On that occasion, this duo showed some jokes that successfully made all viewers laugh out loud.

Due to curiosity, Ichsan the host asked if Ria was the one controlling Suzan's voice. "Who do you think is speaking?" Ria replied, greeted by laughter from the audience.

After some investigation, it turns out that Ria's act is called ventriloquism, the art of controlling the voice from the stomach. In essence, Ria can imitate various sounds without moving her lips too much.

"Oh yeah, ventriloquism originated from Greece and it used to be used for magic. But ventriloquism can be learned. Initially, it started from theater, then I had to learn ventiloquism, and the more I learned, the more I studied," said Ria.

"Ventriloquism is the study of the voice from the stomach. Or you can say it's voice magic. So I can transform, a doll or anything that I want to play with, as if it's like earlier," she concluded.
