Who can you imitate?

[Pekka]

Well there are few dudes from Finland you don't know that I can do and from the people you know are:

Bill Cosby (it's my pride as I'm pretty good!)
Al Pacino
Arnold Swartcschzhzhenegger

I have tried to do George Bush, but I suck at it. I'm just not able to get it good. Also I can't do Bill Clinton and God knows I have tried. With Bush, I can't get the accent right and I can't get the voice. With Clinton I can almost get accent, but not voice.

How about you?

Been there, done that.

obviously I'm good at imitating out foreign minister Joschka Fischer when he tries hard to make a serious face. he then opens his eyes widly while at the same time pressing his eyebrows down.

I could do some music Stevie Ray Vaughn made famous, but that would be imitating myself; since I taught Stevie all he knew about guitars.

Daniel, I don't have a microphone .

But I assure you, my Bill Cosby is perfect. I can do the bodylanguage as well. I do sound like him too for real.

Al Pacino is only voice, he doesn't have any real bodylangauge that is sticking out. Some facial expressions, but they're easy.

Arnold.. I can do the accent, but nothing else. But you know who I'm doing, but it's not that good.

[Ecthy]

and I'm good at imitating people from real life, like school mates or so... their gestures and all and also voices, I can be quite good at horsing around. pretty arrogant though

Come on, tell us

[Immortal Wombat]

Dipsey from the Teletubbies and Milo from the Tweenies.

[Pekka]

Matti Esko Hytönen is easy.
Jörn Donner I can do good.
Tony Halme I can't do, I've tried it hard, but I just can't do it.
Uuno Turhapuro (can do the bodylanguage good too)

Cool . The biggest problems I have is with the voice. To get it really good. I can do most accents, and I can pick it up fast and I see how I should approach learning it. Bodylanguage is the easiest and facial expressions to me. But voice is HARD. Because of the voice, I can not do some people I'd like.. I just can not do them simple as that.

I can do most accents, my favourite is Italian. I think I can do that good. I can do Jamaican accent, and German accent, which is fun. I can do English (we learned that in school anyway), but other accents from that area which are many, I can't do. Naturally I can do the Finnish accent, but Swedish accent is easy too. All these are way more easier to me than real American accent. For example I can't do the southern accent. I know how it goes, but I really suck at it. I can do some NY accent though. I am not sure is it 'Jewish accent' or 'Jewish who lives in New York' accent, but I can try to imitate it and most people would know what I'm doing. Naturally I wouldn't go for real new yorker or any of these folks.

can't do accents

my favourite victim is our year's best. he's an arsehole and does his civil national service in Palestine. chin chin.

[Pekka]

Ecthelion, funny.. I can't do my friends. I have the same 'accent', but I can't get the voice or their habits of using certain words. Accent is the thing I can learn fast, but voice.. uh oh.. Some accents I can't do at all and I have tried, but they don't work.

[Ecthy]

the habit of facial expressions and using words is easiest, voices are hard

[The diplomat]

I can do the voices of French president Chirac and former President Mitterand.
