Many kids tend to be shy and quiet, especially in new or unfamiliar situations. However, as they grow older and gain confidence, many of them begin to find their voice. One of the best ways for kids to overcome shyness is by discovering an outlet that allows them to express themselves—something creative, meaningful, and empowering. For 12-year-old Darci Lynne, that outlet came in the form of ventriloquism, a unique talent that not only helped her break out of her shell but also brought joy to audiences everywhere.
In her unforgettable audition during America’s Got Talent 2017, Darci walked onto the stage looking a little nervous—but it didn’t take long for her to completely blow everyone away. With her adorable puppet named Petunia, Darci performed a surprise singing act that stunned the entire auditorium. Her singing was not only impressive, but the fact that she did it while keeping her lips almost perfectly still made it all the more jaw-dropping. The audience couldn’t believe what they were seeing—and neither could the judges.
Her performance quickly turned into one of the most memorable moments of the season. Judge Mel B was so impressed and moved by the combination of Darci’s charm, talent, and bravery that she hit the Golden Buzzer, sending Darci Lynne straight to the live shows. The confetti rained down, the crowd erupted into cheers, and Darci’s reaction was pure magic—tears of joy, disbelief, and gratitude. It was a moment that made millions of people smile.

Darci’s act reminded many fans of Paul Zerdin, the talented ventriloquist who won America’s Got Talent in 2015. But at just 12 years old, Darci brought a fresh, youthful energy and innocence that truly set her apart. She’s not just a gifted ventriloquist—she’s an inspiration.
