Who can you imitate? Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

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?

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.

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.

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.

I dislike our current chancellor like that, he's got a pretty neutral face and his voice is too deep for me to imitate, so I can't do him. others are quite easy though.

my flatmate is just hilarious at imitating Chirac's facial expressions, eyes wide open and constantly shaking head from one side to another, talk about the ostentatious habits of frogs (and italians for that matter)

Oh also I can do mediocre Sean Connery. I have a funny story, but I won't share it with you. Let's just say, I tried that for the kicks of it in a bar few years ago.. doing mr. bond in Finnish.. I failed.. MISERABLY! But it was all fun . Even the chick laughed.. though she turned me down anyway.

Increase Your PM Length

When I was young, I had a very thin voice and I could imitate (some) of my canary's singing. The funny thing is that when I was visiting my granpa, i used to sing the part to a **** (it's male for a chicken, right?), and You know whta? He tried to sing it as well! It was amazing, really. He was repeating the (short, of course) melody of it. I knew that parrots and kind-of-birds-I-do-not-know-their-name-in-english
could do something like this, but a ****... Well, even if he was a ****-genius, he ended up in a soup
