John Tartaglia believes everything happens for a reason, and his career trajectory is a testament to this. He lets us into the world of puppetry and theatre as he shares his experiences, and how he got started in pursuing his “dual dream” of becoming a successful puppeteer and performing on Broadway. He talks about the influence of Jim Henson in his career, how devastated he was when Jim died, and how one earnest letter he sent Jim when he was eight years old led to working for “Sesame Street” as a puppeteer at the age of 16. He reflects on the profound impact of puppetry on audiences, recalling heartwarming moments from doing shows. He also talks about the process of creating characters for shows like “Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock”, and finding the balance between practical puppetry and CGI. John offers advice to young puppeteers and performers, encouraging them to trust their passion, ignore naysayers, and being as certain in your dreams as possible. John Tartaglia is an Emmy and Tony award nominated actor who began his professional career at age 16 as a puppeteer for “Sesame Street”. His Broadway debut in “Avenue Q” earned him a Tony nomination for originating the dual roles of Princeton and Rod. His other Broadway credits include Lumière in “Beauty and the Beast” and originating Pinocchio and the Magic Mirror in “Shrek The Musical” on Broadway. He has received eight Emmy Award nominations for “Johnny and the Sprites” on Disney Junior, a show that he created, executive produced, and starred in. John is also an executive producer, director, writer, and radio personality. He most recently wrapped filming season two of “Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock”, and this time he is also the creative supervisor for the whole series.

In about 2012, I attended my first VO conference in Toronto. I decided to attend after I had a coaching intensive with superstar puppeteer & actor John Tartaglia in NYC. Long story short, I wanted to see if I could pursue my dream of being on “Sesame Street” -and I thought John could possibly help. It was a great session, but about an hour into it, I realized that puppeteering is a skillset that takes a lot of time and training and that it might already be too late in my life to learn and master it. So, John suggested that I stick to VO and referred me to Sunday Muse – who just happens to be my special guest today!! I had the chance to meet Sunday at that first VO conference I ever attended in Toronto because she was a guest speaker! Shortly after that, I took some animation VO coaching sessions with her and the rest is history!!Sunday Muse is the Founder/Creative Manager & Inspiratrice of Great Big Voices.

Today I am talking to John Tartaglia! A 10-year veteran of "Sesame Street," Tartaglia is one of the youngest puppeteers ever to perform on the show, starting at the age of 16. John originated the roles of Princeton and Rod in Avenue Q and was Tony nominated for Best Lead Actor in a Musical. Other Broadway Credits include: Beauty and the Beast and Shrek. Off-Broadway he wrote and created John Tartaglia’s ImaginOcean. He created the TV series Johnny and the Sprites on Playhouse Disney and Splash and Bubbles for PBS Kids. John tells us his unique story of getting started in the industry at such a young age. We talk about imposter syndrome, shutting out the noise, and how nothing in this career is formulaic. “Have a dream. Have an expectation. Have a want but don’t be afraid to take the winding unexpected path to get there.” Instagram/Twitter: @johnnytartags Take Action: Choose one hobby, interest, or passion you have other than your forté and create a plan to pursue it in some way. (So if you consider yourself a dancer first, this doesn’t mean take more dance classes.) It means if you’ve always had an interest in yoga, film making, circus, crystals, etc - take a workshop, class, watch youtube tutorials to nurture your curiosity. ABA Pop Up Online Workshop!
