jim6918 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Not that kind you bunch of perverts!!!I would like to add some custom sound bites to my show for the purpose of reminding people to turn off their lights, don't block the neighbors driveway, etc. Ideally I would love to find a voice impersonator who can do good easily recognizable celebs to do these sound bites.I think it would be a hoot, for example to have Clark Griswold say "Hey Russ, run out and tell that dumb b*%$&!& to turn off his headlights," or "Eddie, how many times have I told you not to block the neighbors driveway with your RV." OK, I would love to say that, but in real life would make it clean and hopefully funny. I have already run this past Kevin the DementedElf. He doesn't do impersonations, but I could use a Santa and Elf voice to do the same thing.Anybody know of a good impersonator looking for a fast buck?

Donny M. Carter Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I know of a guy in Albany, NY who imitates a Christmas light enthusiast. Maybe he can also do voices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubado Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 One of the members on this forum does voice overs for a fee. Prices are reasonable, I haven't used him yet, I hope to next year. He is the Demented Elf, although I just tried looking him up in the member list and didn't see him. Does anybody know where he's been? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfing4Dough Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Wonder if there would be any merit doing a request on a site such as these:http://www.radiodaddy.com/requests/forum/203-%26lt%3Bb%26gt%3Bfree%26lt%3Bb%26gt%3B-voiceover-requests/http://www.voliners.com/forums.phpThere are others that I have seen where voiceover talent just want to use their talent for free or for a few dollars donation. Might google it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim6918 Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 The DementedElf was the first person I contact about doing the impersonations.I am into my 8th Google page of impersonators/voice-overs, and I got to tell you I am surprised at how bad most of them are. You really have to use your imagination when you listen them to compare them to the person they are trying to impersonate.I don't know where I come up with these ideas for my show. I guess I got spoiled when I was able to talk a local radio station personality with a very recognizable voice to do my show introduction.I really focus on these little touches.I am friends with a club circuit comedian who is going to ask around. Lots of starving performers out there right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
