Subject: Chowderhead does impressions! And does Requests!
Yes I do! I'm trying to work on a stand up routine, and need to work on some of my voices. I'll be taking requests for voices, as every tiny bit helps.
I'll start with my strongest one; Ahnahld (Arnold).
It's not the best video, but as the main focus is the audio, don't riff on my webcam
C&C appreciated.

Everyone does Arnold, man! Even if it's good it sounds hacky.
Try to come up with some people that are a little more obscure. Jay Mohr's Christopher Walken is a good example of this; he's not the biggest star but people recognize him. It makes the impression into a pleasant surprise for the listener.

Ah yes, Christopher Walken.
As it is to late to put up me as the mighty star, I'll do him later. But rest assured,
Walkens..... Pauses..... Are not.......... Unnoticed.

No, your Chirstopher Walken sounds like a cross between a British and Brooklyn accent... try again.
You should try Dr. Cox from Scrubs the voice shouldn't be too difficult, but if you could pull of the attitude (without ripping off one of his actual monologues) it should be good. Also try Dr. House while you're at it. Same attitude, but a slightly more challenging voice.

Yeah, it's hard for me to do Walken, due to my tendencies to go either Brooklyn or British or Aussie.
I've never thought of House...

Not the best I've ever done, but Walken is hard! And yes, that is a real cowbell.
I'll try to get my stereotypical Russian up soon.
Could use some work, but it's certainly better than mine.
Christopher Walken, at least the most distinctive part of his dialogue, isn't actually the pauses, although they are noticeable. It's the way his voice seems to emphasise certain syllables, move around his vocal range alot and almost break at times, as well as having an interesting rhythm that few others have.
I would be rather interested in you doing Perry Cox/House as well, likely be amusing. Oh, and as an Australian, naturally I have to express interest in your Australian accent .
@Slarg: You win for linking Captain Malcolm Reynolds...and for Castle as well. +1 to your internets.

I've never been able to do good Cox, no matter how hard I try. It's quite irritating.
And is it awesome that an Aussie commented on how good an American's Aussie accent is? Personally, I think you are eating Raw Prawn!
And no, I am not Aussie. I have one of these to understand my Grandmother:

Do an Arnold-Schwarzenegger-After-Being-Kicked-In-The-Nuts impression.

In order to truly get a feel for Walkin may I suggest you watch "King of New York".
And I agree with chaplaingrabthar,do Connery and Shatner..hell do a routine where Bond finds himself on board the Enterprise....Kirk and Bond attempting to out sauve one another would be funny.
I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

Do lois armstrong. Pull it off and I'd facebook it.

Well, Duh! Because they had a giant Mining ship. If you had a giant mining ship you would drill holes in everything too, before you'd destory it with a black hole

Lol you certainly have the right appearance for an american comedian. Sorry i haven't listened to them, i have a phobia of home videos. I second shatner: should be easy enough. Another classic worth attempting (and a ttribute to Yakface) SHHHORNNN KOHNNNERRY. Maybe a bit more topical, Glen beck? Seth Rogen? Johnny Depp would be a good one: Just do a pretentious butthurt baby with his head firmly up his own erm..... Christian Bale, Ricky Gervais is a good guy to impersonate. Personally i can do a mean South African accent, a middling Scouser, a middling John Lennon, scraps of Geordie, a variable Stewie Griffin and a terrible Arnie... Unfortunately my other impressionistic strengths are tad less PC (I must add i would never use them to offend); Stereotype Nigerian (as in black nigerain, i am white), Stereotype chinese and stereotype Jewish. Ordered by how convincing the impression.
