As a ventriloquist Vox's career spanned over 50 years appearing in venues around the world in theatre, cabaret and on television.
Shortly after settling in Toronto, Vox's interest in ventriloquism was revived, influenced through watching the many ventriloquists who appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show.
[8] Between 1965 and 1968, he appeared on a biweekly guest spot on the Uncle Bobby show, a morning kids’ program broadcast on CFTO channel nine in Toronto.
[9] In 1966, he turned his hand to acting and became part of the Questors, a theater company in Toronto, and was cast in the lead role in A Stranger unto My Brethren, a controversial play dealing with the subject of homosexuality.
For his leading role as Michael Hamilton he won “best actor” award at the Ontario Drama Festival in Toronto.
[10] Later he became a resident actor in the newly formed theater company Theatre Toronto (1968) under the direction of Clifford Williams.
[11] In 1967, he appeared on the prime time national TV show To Tell The Truth and defeated the panel by convincing them that the three ventriloquial voices he produced were coming from the two impostors.
[12] In the same year, Edgar Bergen, who was doing a nostalgic tour playing venues across North America, was appearing at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto.
[15] Unable to find a publisher to take on an unknown subject and produce the high-quality illustrated tome that he had envisaged, he decided to design the work himself.
[16] Peter Stockham encouraged Vox to produce 12 copies of the prototype and present it at the 1980 Frankfurt Book Fair.
[17] I Can See your Lips Moving, the history and art of ventriloquism, was published in October 1981 and received favorable reviews from the press and media.
Frank Thornton played the irate manager of the fictitious TV station and Harold Goodwin was the friend of Jeorge.
The first of these brought together some big names, including Jay Johnson, Jimmy Nelson, Ronn Lucas, Jeff Dunham and the legendary Paul Winchell.
The highlight of these conventions which were named The Vegas Ventriloquist Festival was the gala show Ventastic, which was devised and produced by Vox.
[37] The convention ran for nine years and was widely covered by the media, including Good Morning America and the Today Show with guest correspondent, Candice Bergen.
