Muppet performer

A Muppet performer is an artist who brings puppet characters to life through a combination of puppeteering skills, voice acting, and comedic timing. They operate puppets—often large, complex characters—using their hands, arms, and sometimes their entire bodies, while simultaneously providing the character’s voice and personality. Performers must effectively coordinate movement and voice to create believable, engaging characters that convey emotion and humor. Their work is a blend of puppetry, acting, and voice artistry, requiring both technical proficiency and creative interpretation to entertain audiences in shows like The Muppets.
