Are you any good at impressions & impersonating people?

I thought I'd post this because the other day, I was talking on the phone to my friend - and I got mistaken for JEDWARD.
I always play back the twin's performances and interviews, and I have learned how to talk just like them!
Now, my voice I speak in normally is in a spot-on Jedward accent  big_smile 
I talk fast, with their Dublin accent, and use their favourite phrases too in everyday discussions.

Me: *In Jedward voice* Hey [friend's name], how ya doin'? This is Jedward saying hi...- Edward, let me talk! No, ME! It's like my turn! John, you're joking me, I'm talking to her!
Friend: Oh my God, is Jedward with you??
Me: *Normal voice* Um, no. It's me.
Friend: I swear Jedward was talking!
Me: *Jedward voice* Oh my God, it's [friend's name], John! *Normal voice* It was me. I had a convo with myself.
Friend: ... *hangs up*

It's not the first time I've been mistaken for the Grimes Brothers. In a shopping centre I heard people saying they could hear Jedward nearby, I was like 'um, hey'.
I do tend to dress like them and when I'm in Jed-Mode, I talk in their accent, dance like them, and sometimes dress like them with quiffed hair, skinny tie, edged blazer and winged hi-tops.  tongue

I'm truly crazy, but I don't care what people say. My knack for impersonating Jedward raised £60 for charity. Little kids swarm me too 0_0


SO, is there anyone you're great at impersonating? Can you do celebrity impressions? Discuss whether or not you've been mistaken for a star!

I'm really good at impersonating things and I can stay in character very well.

I hope I didn't offend anyone, try to guess who I was impersonating.

I also once fooled my stepbrother into thinking I was Tetsuya Nomura over the phone?

Re: Are you any good at impressions & impersonating people?

I can't really impersonate people, but I can lower or higher the pitch of my voice to the effect that it becomes unrecognizable, making prank calls fun. I can do certain accents, but not really to the extent that I might be mistaken for a person of that nationality.

Wait, so do you try to always talk in the Jedward accent? I've tried stuff like that but I always end up forgetting or giving up D:

I think you're right  big_smile

And I ALWAYS talk in Jedward's accent. I have a deep-ish voice for a girl so the pitch is right, and Jedward talk fast and with a distinct Dublin-American accent. I've learned how they structure sentences, and memorised catchphrases. When I approach people for the first time, they kinda stare, mouth open when I talk. I'm a girl, but I sound exactly like Jedward.  big_smile 
It's like my hidden talent or something, it's eerie.  tongue

EDIT: Oh, and I don't really have to try any more.  lol
It sorta comes naturally and if you've ever heard Jedward talk, it can be hard to understand their speedy accents. They seem to reel off random thoughts at 100 miles an hour. My teachers love it, but they have to concentrate hard to understand me. XD

You should develop an alternate personality so you can be both Edward and John at the same time :DDDD

My friends aren't really good at impersonations... unless you count Pokemon noises. For lulz at lunchtime, we would imitate creatures like Squirtle, Pikachu, Charmander, and Bulbasaur.  tongue

Re: Are you any good at impressions & impersonating people?

I can do a pretty good impression of John Cleese from some of his sketches, given a few tries.  I can also fill in roles in short films my friends create from time to time.
