Puppet work and mask work are essentially the same, and it’s hard to describe what it’s like to wear a mask to people who’ve never done it, but the second you put on a mask you’re not you anymore. Same with puppets. Put one on and your posture changes, your voice alters, and you can feel what it wants, you can feel what it’s scared of, you know what it needs. You don’t wear the puppet. The puppet wears you.
