Muñoza act was nothing short of impressive -- she showed the judges 'how ventriloquists got ready' for a show, singing and making sound effects while brushing her teeth, doing her makeup and even drinking water. Her performance earned her a standing ovation and fans were just as thrilled. "When she drinks that water whist singing and not moving her lips, that there takes real talent. She’s probably the best ventriloquist I’ve ever seen on Got Talent." wrote a fan. "This is actually really cool, most ventriquilists I see use puppets so its really surprising for me on what she performed instead" added another. "Probably one of the most ingenious ventriloquist acts I've ever seen. Whole new level of illusion,brilliant! So abstract I would have never thought of this!!!" said another.
