Meh... that's my daily warm-up...
Seriously, though. Kudos to him - he's got range, and has found a forum and audience.
(begin Mr. Hyde mode)
But, the questions I come away with are:
How many were "spot-on"?
How many were similar to others?
Can he sustain them for more than a tag-line?
I say this from personal experience. I started with the "throw-a-bucket-of-impressions-at-them" approach, and was fortunate enough to find a mentor to guide me.
Once you start to hear repeated styles, do you continue to listen to a demo?
This guy's got enough range that he could choose a smaller number of diverse character "types" that are more his own. Show the range, without drowning the listener.

I don't think any of them were particularly good. Not that I could do any better.

| Holy character range batman! Range yes, quality...? In his defense I'd say it's kinda tough if you give yourself only a few seconds to get into the next character. And by the way, my JFK and Governator, and WBush are much better than his if I do say so myself. |

Some of the impersonations were pretty good. Most were not. Do you think this individual could act if called upon to do so? Do you think he could take direction?
I'm far more impressed by some of the people on here who are developing reall abilities to interpret copy and take the appropriate steps to owning the words.
I've seen a lot of noteworthy performances on Youtube. I am in awe by DC Lugi's abilities (David Coyne).
Forgive me, but I can do better than this guy and I get paid to do it. |

Oh man, that was excellent! I was a huge fan of Rich Little's growing up and it's nice to see someone again who truly does excellent impersonations!
Speaking of Youtube, I'm in rehearsals right now for "Moon Over Buffalo" and must act drunk for about half of the show. I researched the King of the Drunks, Foster Brooks, and found this wonderful short on Youtube. Be sure to watch as Dean Martin begins to lose it:

I'm of an infinitesmally tiny minority that thinks Dean Martin is under-rated.
He was a unique and wonderful voicer, a comic talent, a fairly decent singer.....and a real cool dude.
And Scott, if you can clone Foster's over-the-top and yet somehow subtle portrayal of merry drunkenness, you'll be spot-on.
Thanks for the clip.
P.S : LOUIS' BACK. MISSED YOU, DUDE! |

Thanks JS and Scott! Great morning laugh for me...
DC's amazing - you can tell he's spent time perfecting each impression.
And Foster's a classic. Only one trick, but MAN, that's funny! He actually has a great voice too (out of character). Anyone know if he did VO work?
Just curious,

OK, It's SUPPOSED to be Carey Grant but legend has it that he himself never said it. To further the reference, there is a hilarious Andy Grifith episode where Goober is doing impressions. He delivers the most goofy and stupid "judy judy judy" you ever heard and someone else in the cast (I forget who now) just cracks up wildly thinking it's dead on and funny. "He gets me every time." There's you Judy, Judy, Judy reference. I at least deserve a T-shirt for that one don't you think?
