Kelly Guidotti

Kelly Guidotti is a Brazilian puppeteer who is the Brazilian performer of Elmo since 2016. Not only did she perform him on Sesamo, the Brazilian co-production of Sesame Street, she also dubbed his voice in Elmo's World, The Furchester Hotel, and Elmo the Musical. Seems to me that Kelly is one of the many female puppeteers to perform an international Elmo in a different country. I'd say Guidotti is doing the right thing on making Elmo a star character all across the world other than Sesame Street. Her outside puppet credits have placed her in Ta Certo (as Geisinha), Cocorico (as various animals), and in several TV commercials featuring puppets. I believe she got to work with other Brazilian puppeteers such as Neusa de Souza, Thais Carvalho, and a couple of others. Kelly Guidotti should do some Brazilian dubs of Muppet projects too if she did it for Sesame Street co-productions. I don't know if it's something she would be interested in, but it couldn't hurt for her to try and dub a Muppet character. She should keep on performing on Sesamo until the show gets cancelled, you never know when an international Sesame Street co-production will end. Kelly must also get a chance to meet more Brazilian puppeteers during her career or even other Brazilian dub actors and actresses. Guidotti has the courage to keep an Brazil version of Elmo running. I only hope that she does it wisely as Elmo is a very popular Sesame Street character. Kelly Guidotti, you are doing a great job performing on Sesamo and other Brazilian projects featuring puppetry. I hope that you'll keep working on television and on Sesamo. Maybe someday you'll have an opportunity to dub a Muppet show, whenever that is. You're great Kelly. Wonderful Guidotti!

Heather Quinn

Heather Quinn is a British puppeteer, cosplayer, singer, and gossiper who did many puppet characters for social media. She is also the only puppeteer who does cosplay, in other words, dresses and acts like their favorite character from a show. Heather also has a love for anything vintage, which I personally find to be unique for a person to like things from the past. Quinn hasn't done anything Muppet-related in her life, in fact she's probably never even heard of the Muppets or the Henson Company. However she has puppeteered many times for social media such as TikTok and Instagram. One of her puppets resembles an Ewok from the Star Wars franchise, which could give a clue that she's a Star Wars fan as well. In addition to puppetry, Heather Quinn has been gossiping on her website about her activities, her travels, as well as her habit of drinking tea. She's also sung all of Sondheim's Company, Into the Woods, and Sweeney Todd, as stated by her on her own website. Ther...

Amanda Glass

Amanda Glass is a British puppeteer and costume maker who puppeteered on season 1 of Sooty (2011) as well as part of the third season. She also puppeteered on the Sooty video Sooty: The Big Day Out as well as making many of the puppets' costumes on the series. Besides doing Sooty, Amanda was also an additional puppeteer on Mongrels for three episodes. I personally think Glass should have puppeteered on a project by either the Muppets or the Henson Company (mostly in the Creature Shop). It's currently unknown what the performer looks like since the picture above either has her on camera or under one of the puppets. On both Sooty and Mongrels, other puppeteers she performed with include Iestyn Evans, Yvonne Stone, Simon Buckley, and Toby Olie, to name a few. Maybe someday Amanda Glass will have her chance to meet one of the Muppet performers in the UK or maybe she will learn about the Henson Company online. Nobody really knows whatever happened to her after 2018 when she did seas...
