Impersonations

As a baby one of the first things that I'm trying to master is the art of mimicking. My parents make all kinds of sounds and smile at me, and I do my best to imitate them (Note: there is a video of my efforts below).

That is all well and good, but I wanted to take this a step further. Below are some impersonations of several celebrities (I am using "celebrities" loosely). Take a look, and let me know what you think.

My impersonation of the Thanksgiving turkey



My impersonation of James C. Traficant – Former Congressman from Mahoning County currently in jail for fraud and embezzlement (both of us need some work on our hair)



My impersonation of Skip Hansen – Star of the ThermoSpa infomercial. He was quoted as saying, "I like the tiny bubbles. It feels like I am sitting in a bucket of champagne" (unfortunately I do not have a picture of Mr. Hansen but my Uncle Adam knows who I'm talking about).





My impersonation of my Dad watching a sports after a long day of work.





Here is a video with two of my best attemps at mimicking noises. I'm still working on prefecting these impersonations but enjoy nonetheless.
