Entertainer

One day, my brother had his friend over, and they were in the laundry room, and I stuck my puppet's head around the door and then started chasing them with it and made my puppet laugh very scary. It was really funny.

I do a lot of vocal exercises and drink hot tea, which I hate.

I had to keep up with my schoolwork so I could keep up my grades. That was tough to balance both being a superstar onstage but being a normal kid trying to get her math homework done.

Ventriloquism kind of helped me find my voice. It's really helped me come out of my shell.

I would love to get a pug. A puppy, a baby pug - I just want one so bad.

Oklahoma has been so great to me.

I guess just being more known is the biggest change, getting noticed in public and having a lot of followers on Instagram and things like that. Just a crazy new life.

I go to California and to New York, and it's not like the people are really mean.

I started with Katie, a doll I got on eBay on my 10th birthday. I don't use her anymore. I've got a new Katie now, a real ventriloquist's puppet.

I sing 'Blue Moon of Kentucky.' It's a country song. It's one of my favorites to sing.

I have to control my mouth - and that's hard enough - and then I have to manipulate the puppet and make it look real - like, make its interactions look real. And then I have to sing at the same time, and I have to have my facial expressions reacting to the puppet... So it's a lot going on, and I have to focus on every single thing at the same time.

I think little chubby dogs are the cutest.

Sometimes when I'm performing, whenever my puppet cracks a joke, it actually makes me laugh.

I wanted to get a puppy, but then things started getting super, super busy, and I didn't have a chance.

I just really like performing for different crowds and seeing different places.

Edna - when I first picked her up, she had a voice that really spoke to me.

It's so God-given - my talent - because it took so very little time to get it down to where I was able to perform.

First, I am definitely going to give some money to my mission program at church, and then I have to get my mom a dishwasher.

Singing in multiple voices, especially Oscar's, can make my vocal chords tired.

I wouldn't have the experience or the confidence to go on 'AGT' without being on 'Little Big Shots' because doing 'Little Big Shots' was really fun, but it was also really good practice for my appearance on 'AGT,' and it was just a great, awesome experience that I will remember always.
