If you could change your voice with a popular actor

If you could change your voice to any popular actor what would it be?

I would have a hard pick between Patrick Stewarts or Kevin Conroy. Can you imagine answering people with those voices? Damn awesome

I can only think of who's voice I would never want: Kirsten Dunst. I'd rather be mute.

My voice is deep and smooth as it is, I'm pretty ok with it. If I were to change with someone I'd probably go with Simon Templeman, because I wanna be different.

Dude has the man-sexiest voice ever.

Edit - Oh, popular actor. Ok, then I'd go with Clancy Brown...I guess he's popular. And he's awesome.

Not because I want his voice, but because then Vader would have had my voice, and that would be hilarious.

Steven Bloom I believe is the name your looking for who voiced Spike from Cowboy Bebop. He was was the voice in the Samurai Champloo series, and Wolverine in Hulk vs. Wolverine episode.

I wish the would make a animated Deadpool movie from the guy who was the voice in hulk vs. wolverine they matched him perfectly.

I really liked Christian Bale's voice in Howl's Moving Castle, but I think I would have to go with Paul McCartney... so I could sing to myself.

As far as a female voice is concerned, I really can't think of anything!

That's fine, but "bad" imitator? I can't think of others currently in the business that would be considered better with multiple imitations in such quick succession.

You may not find him funny but the dude is one of the more talented impersonators out there right now. He does a better Madden than Madden.

Oct 21, 2009#71

Dave

Madden is not a hard person to impersonate. He's like Sean Connery or Christopher Walkin. As long as you have basic inflection and tone it's obvious who you are doing.

He does Madden but tries to make his living off of it. His other impersonations are close but no cigar - not everyone looks like a pudgy white guy.

This is the very reason Rich Little didn't dress up like the people he was impersonating. If the look isn't spot on it detracts from the act.

Just because you make yourself sound a little like them doesn't mean it's a good impression, though. For example, Fred Armisen on SNL is their Obama impersonator. He looks like him, but he just barely gets the voice/inflections right. It's kinda there but it doesn't sound enough like him to really be a good impression.

Also for most sketch comedy there's no choice but to dress like them in order to fit with the sketch. Darrell Hammond on SNL doesn't look much like Schwarzenegger or most of the guys he impersonates, but he sounds a lot like them.

All in all if you don't find him funny that's one thing, honestly most times I don't either (his show was fucking bad). But the guy can at least do a good impression of most of his staple celebrities.

Looking like a person, is not part of an imitation act.

Also he doesn't just sound a "little" like most of his targets, he dead on nails not only their pitches and vocal highs and lows, but accents and tone. To top it off, he uses them all in his show and blends it together to make a fully fleshed out "routine". Very rare these days. Not sure what it is you dislike about him Dave.

Again, I'm not talking about his "show". I'm directly speaking of his Stand-Up.

He is also one of those guys that likes to kick a person when he's down.

Just go back to his MAD TV days. Where he did a Kenny Rogers routine that did not sound or act like him at all. He was just doing a crazy-drunk redneck and say that he is Kenny Rogers

I got tired of his routine after a while.. I can only listen to impressions for so long before I get bored. But the first time I saw his special, I was impressed with all the voices and facial expressions he could do.
