Edgar Bergen created these characters...made them come to life. What came through the radio was a delightful world of interesting "people" he created. I have seen ventriloquists who could swallow a glass of water and "talk" while doing so...I saw ventriloquists whose dummies talked a blue streak and their lips never twitched, moved,shimmied or anything. They were boring. They could perform a "trick" but they could not create a whole world as Edgar Bergen could. To answer your question then...yes, it took a great deal of skill to do what he did. Not moving your lips is the least of it. :)
