I’m only 16 but I’ve been impersonating things since… Forever. I still feel sorry for that elderly couple that stood in front of me. That was the day I learned that people don’t mind if you puke in public, so long as your a child. I gave a deep stance, put my entire body into it, and let loose with the deepest voice I could muster. Claws crazy murderous robot voice (keep in mind that we were all about 7-8), so I attempted to mimic the voice for them. Apparently, my friends never saw the cartoon, or at least had no memory of Dr. Claw didn’t have his normal balls-the-size-of-a-small-galaxy voice.

Me and a few of my friends went to see the Inspector Gadget movie back in the early 2000’s and I remember being disappointed by the face that Dr. The earliest impression I can remember was of Dr. Unfortunately, I make for a much better fan than I do voice actor/impressionist, but I still have fun with them on my own! In Drawn Together, my favorites are more female-heavy, Cree Summer’s Foxxy Love, Tara Strong’s Princess Clara and Toot Braunstein, and Jess Harnell’s Captain Hero. However, I definitely remember trying to impersonate characters from Futurama and Drawn Together specifically, and still do today! My favorites from Futurama have been Billy West’s Fry and Professor Farnsworth, John DiMaggio’s Bender, Phil LaMarr’s Hermes Conrad, Maurice LaMarche’s Morbo. I did not really learn to develop an appreciation for animation or the incredibly talented voice actors that bring its characters to live until I was a teenager. The impressions weren’t very good, but the joy came from the back-and-forth we would have. My first impressions were my friends and I quoting dialogue from Spongebob Squarepants. They made him white in the 80’s cartoon, because they were scared of having an African American villain in a kids’ cartoon. Well, Baxter Stockman in the original (adult) Mirage comics WAS black, so it’s not a surprise. To this day I break out this impersonation but I label it more appropriately – “Hey guys, do you want to hear my impersonation of Sean Connery impersonating Cher singing ‘Turn Back Time’?” I thought it was AMAZING at the time and thought I was going places…the first impersonation I did that included actual words however, was my version of Cher singing “Turn Back Time”. Not sure if it counts but the first impression I ever did was the PeeWee Herman laugh. Comment by fatcraftybitch - Septem 8:59 am
