One thing Sherri fears is that her
vetriloquism might ultimately hurt
her singing voice Lately. I can t
tell when I'm throwing my voice, if
I am or not. Most people have to go
to a school to learn how to do it
I'm lucky because I taught myself,
but I'm afraid if I ever started
throwing it, it d ruin my singing
voice
Above everything else, spiritual
happiness is the main reason
behind Sherri s performances I
don t do this for entertainment I
believe that God gave me this
talent to make people happy.
Without His help, I couldn't do it"
