Diana Rockwell visited the Library in Clinton AR this past Summer and was a real hit! With a great turn out of 60 or so people of all ages, Diana was able to keep all of them entertained and excited. We were pleased to have Diana and look forward to seeing her again!

Diana came and did a performance for our Summer Reading Program. We had about 90 kids show up for the show. It was fun, funny, interactive and smart! Diana took the time to make a show that followed our ocean theme. It was great!

Thank you so much. I had a great time indeed!
Diana was fantastic at our cubscout banquet. She even added some scouting material in her act. She showed up early to set up as not to disturb our awards ceremony. All the kids were laughing and thoroughly enjoyed the show. Thank you for making a great party.

Response from Diana Rockwell, Ventriloquist:
Thank you for your kind words.
I recently booked Diana Rockwell as the headline act for our on-line “Ladies In Ventriloquism” Christmas Show for 2020. I must add, I couldn’t have made a better choice. She was amazing!!!
I have followed Diana’s work as a Ventriloquist for several years. Her skill and technique as a ventriloquist are second to none!! She brings each character to life with amazing skill delivering hilarious and spellbinding entertainment.
Diana is a true professional. She goes the extra mile to deliver quality service.
I cannot recommend Diana enough.
Sincerely,

Diana Rockwell Ventriloquist, Singer, Q & A which leads into Improv Interaction with the audience. With her steady as she goes lip control ventriloquism is nicely done as comedy goes back & forth along with singing which adds in like the bonus round. Also moe audience participation. After the show it's worth it to have her stick around & do Caricatures. This was done more as a family show so it was for children & adults. Looking forward to having her back again & enjoy her with adults when the children are left home.
Thank - You for sharing your talents with us.

Diana rocked our auditorium at our schools father/daughter dance with her fantastic ventriloquism talents. The kids loved it!! They were still giggling walking out of the auditorium. I am sure that it will be an experience that they will always treasure! !

We tried something new for the kids this year and found Diana Rockwell. She had the kids involved. I saw 2 boys in the front row that were laughing so hard, they couldn't stop! A great show and it was loved by both the adults and the kids! She's on our list to call for next years De Soto Days festival.

The children had a terrific time. They loved "Salty" and the "Doctor." Diana has that special gift of engaging her audience, young and old. We are looking forward to seeing her performance again next year!

Diana performed for my daughter's 11 year old birthday party. She was amazing at interacting with the kids. She held their attention and involved them in the performance. Days after they are still talking about her!

Diana, Salty the Snail and the talking donut appeared at our facility's Christmas parties. She had them laughing and was so easy to work with. We had 2 parties and she worked with us doing both the parties. She interacted with the citizens and they enjoyed her immensely. They want her to return again.

Diana performed a show for my daughter's 6 year old birthday party. There were kids ranging from 18 months - 8 years old and they all just loved it! There was nonstop laughter and it was very evident they enjoyed the show (as well as the parents)! Diana was wonderful with them and even let them come up after the performance to "meet" the puppets individually. Definitely recommend and would use her again in a heartbeat!

Ms. Rockwell has performed at our school for several programs and the staff and children love her. She will always bring something new to any performance.
Educational Entertainment
Well done! Very talented young woman. Not only technically sound, but also engaged the audience for a fun experience.
Comedy Show, Ventriloquist
Diana did an Earth day themed story time for our Youth Services department at the library. Her act was very, very funny. Her book choices were very good and age appropriate. She really puts an actual personality to Ira the Heart so that it feels like a two person show. Her and Ira have great exchanges and she saves the best punchlines for him. Their performances are really memorable-and Ira sings!

About
My name is Diana L. Smith, a.k.a. Diana Rockwell. I am a professional ventriloquist. I have been performing for 12+ years and it is, without of doubt, my number one passion. I graduated with a BFA in Expanded Media (focus in performance art) from the University of Kansas in 2010. I started out as a painting major, but made the switch once I developed a passion for ventriloquism. Ventriloquism started as an odd intrigue, but later became my bread and butter. It was the Goosebumps book "Night of the Living Dummy" that sparked an interest during my youth. The magical incantation "Karru Marri Odonna Loma Molonu Karrano" from that book is tattooed on my right arm. It is a fictitious language, but holds personal sentiment for me.
Because of ventriloquism, I have had opportunities to travel all over and perform for thousands of people. One of the best days of my life was being awarded The Clinton Detweiler Scholarship in 2015. I was selected by AGT winner, Terry Fator. When I am not performing, I am teaching courses in ventriloquism through a site called Outschool. I am also the author of the book "Experimental Ventriloquism," which is about using principles from fine art and applying them to a ventriloquist act. So sit back and enjoy the show :)
