  • i find it ironic you picked ricky gervais' voice for the line about being a christian man :)

  • @20SpiderPig10 You caught it! Thanks, take a look at my other vids on my channel if you liked this one!

  • The only thing better than this video would be to see all these actors, politicians, and celebs perform together in Richard III. Great job! You couldn't have picked better lines to do as Walken or Clooney!

    Also it took me a couple viewings, but I finally realized the connection you wove among the lines as Simon Cowell, American Idol, and "a legion of foul fiends [that] environed me and howled in mine ears such hideous cries." *Very* subtle.

  • @RIPSAW1986 Thanks very much!

  • Would hitler count as an impression?

  • @jerryjm2 I don't speak German. But if I did, and wanted to annoy people, then YES.

  • @curtisjmarren i have a lot of familiarity with how my voice sounds from the outside, due to the many, many hours of recordings I have had to listen to for almost 30 years of audio projects... after a while one just knows. Of course, my impressions sound even better to me than to others... but then, I may be my biggest fan. I'm certainly at ever show, haven't missed one yet.

  • @CelAnimator Surprise! I show up in very random places...
