[NathanDavis]

both accents, voices... mannerisms and gestures, and I would always do it "naturally" it would just come out of me to imitate others like that

I often got in a bit of trouble because of it, at middle/high school... even college, lol, or just doing it with people on the street, while I never really tried to be mean with it, some people just do not appreciate at all lmao... most were cool with it though

and my friends (especially the girls) would not help either, as some of them wanted me to do it all the time with certain people

one of the most memorable was this time I went with a friend of mine to this office building because she needed some important documents to get certified or whatever, so we met with a lawyer briefly, one who had quite a particular voice and tone (from Mexico City) so, stupid me ( I was 20 years old) decided to mimic his voice and it was so uncanny and hilarious that he kind of froze and kept staring me but said nothing lmfao, I realized I kind of messed up so I just kept going at it with the same voice the whole time (a two minutes exchange or so) but I did act and pretend like that was just my voice and as if it didn't sound exactly like him at all "nothing weird going on here"

and he kept giving me a stare but say nothing about it lol... maybe he was entertained by it and the fact that I kept doing it for so long, lol

good thing, this particular friend of mine she was the less "amused" or the most used to my dumb things, so she was able to keep a straight face for the whole thing, had been the other two of my friends, they would have been cracking up and rolling around on the floor, and embarrassed AF, lol

[888theGreat]

we all know you impersonating being a man. Very good at it too.

[melanieeeB]

Omgg that sounds so funny haha I couldn't have kept a straight face, I would be on the ground lmao

[NathanDavis]

lmao, that was my intention most of the times, just to make it a funny moment, but sometimes I would just do it impulsively...

by the way, when I was a kid and before puberty hit I could also make dozens of cartoon voices as well... till my voice just matured one sad day, lmao

[humanearth]

I can do many voices from around USA

Southern Baptist Preacher

California Surfer Dude

California Valley Girl

And countless others from USA

From other parts of the world to

Austrian

German

British

India/Hindu

Plus I can copy famous people and do cartoon voices

[WonderBell99]

I think you mean Hindi, lol. Hindu is the shortened form of Hinduism which is a religion

[humanearth]

@WonderBell99 blame that on spell check, makes me look less dumb

[WonderBell99]

I don't think you're dumb. We learn something new everyday :)

[DizzyDesii]

British if i dont “try” as hard. I used to talk to different groups of people at my last job so i picked up on the Brit one a lot. I used to start talking in one when i’d meet a new guy and he’d be all happy then after about 10 mins, i’d go, sorry to disappoint but im country af!! Murica!! 😂😩🤣 Some would be disappointed. Some would be more excited. I also used to say random shit that made me sound hispanic or japanese and they’d fall for it 😭 I was makin up words on the spot and they couldnt tell

[ShaTTeredMasterpeace]

Lol I literally watch British videos daily. I'm a huge Potterhead and was obsessed with Spice Girls when I was younger. I go in and out of my regular east coast accent and my British accent regularly. Sometimes if I'm somewhere new I will use the British accent just to see if people will pick up on it. I guess it's good enough because when I do it people are always intrigued.

[MCheetah]

Yes, I can and I can do it well. No one can argue with my imitations! No one!

Listen to this clip of someone you all know and love on this site.

A few:
Young John Travolta in Grease & Welcome back Kotter
Red Foxx - Sanford and Son
Stallone: Rocky & Over the Top
Goofy from Mickey Mouse
Beavis and Butt-Head
A little Christopher Walken but wish I could do more.
Karl from the movie Sling Blade is my best and favorite. 😆

[Dinosaursandanime65]

I used to be able to imitate Rexy but one day that just became physically impossible for no reason. I am capable of making different voices, but they’re mostly original. Some might say two of them sound like Stitch but eh. Well…. I can sort of also imitate the Iguanodons from Jurassic World Evolution and the Quetzalcoatlus from Prehistoric Planet (not including those weird glup sounds they make)

[888theGreat]

I can do Elmo and Sean Connery best. I can also do the Marvin the Martian, and Huckleberry hound, as well as Bull Winkle, and Yoda and Fuzzy de bear , because Yoda and Fuzzy are same voice. Oh and Sylvester's friend that cat.

Sam the Cat

[JDavid25]

Yeah, how they are depends on if I here or practice them regularly.. But, I think I can imitate a old school New York accent pretty decently, the Southern accent, the soft Spanish accent, and certain phrases and word with the British accent..

[Kreneman]

I can inmate other accents and voices because I'm an actor plus I speak multiple languages.

[melanieeeB]

Oh that's pretty cool

[Kreneman]

Yeap, I grew up on TV shows and films. I love practicing lines and using a lot of quotes from actors as well as people. 🙂

[Anonymous]

I can't imitate/mimic others well, but I can imitate other accents. Most often, it's American (Southern and the Generalized American one) and British (Cockney; it took ages for me to get it right lmao)

[shesrad]

yes, i can do elmos voice, its just hilarious and well creepy

[DuskEmbrace_X]

I can imitate the British accent quite well.

[Havthrills]

Oh most definitely fail at imitating any accent. I even fail at imitating American. Lol. I have an odd accent that people ask where I'm from. I just really can't say my r's that well.

[TransAm85]

I can imitate that Valley girl accent! It's so annoying tho..

[CuriousMufuxka]

Yes! I do many accents and they sound great until people hear them lol. The only actual one that's worked is my mafia voice. Fuck outta ere! Fugettiaboutit! Eh!

[DancingQueen16]

Sometimes i do impressions of characters from tv shows I've seen

[Anpu23]

I can do a possible Scottish, Irish and Russian accent.

[Ms_Facesitter]

If I don't try I succeed and when I try I fail.

[macjets007]

Yes! My southern accent is amazing. It's so much fun for sure. I reckon I sound like some folks from Alabama eatin bbq ribs, grits n gravy rolltide!

[Andres77]

1930’s Jersey gangster…I’d do it for my kids I haven’t done it in years though

[msc545]

I can do Spanish. British, Russian, Middle Eastern, and Asian accents.

[GrapeApe98]

I can do a pretty okay Marge Simpson and Muscle Man impression if that's something.

[AbsolutelyClueless6]

I can do Irish, Scottish, and French. The French one is a bit rough...
