When you admire a person, you may want to mimic her. Impersonating her is one way that you can be like her. It is important that you remember that impersonating someone should be used only as entertainment because in certain situations it can mean trouble.
Instructions
1. Find out as much as you can about the person you want to impersonate. Knowing about the person can make doing an authentic impersonation easier. Find out about their family, their job and any important events that shaped them into the person they are today.
2. Watch him as much as possible. You need to watch his mannerisms, his speech patterns and his attitude. Try to figure out if he has a catch phrase, for example Bugs Bunny says "What's up, Doc?" and "That's hot" is Paris Hilton's.
3. Mimic her style. You should wear the same style of clothes as she is wearing. Try to do your hair like her. You can wear a wig to get the same hairstyle if needed. Make sure your make up matches hers.
4. Practice your impression in front of a mirror. Remember that in most cases, you are your own worst critic. The more you practice, the better you will become.
5. Show your friends and family your impersonation. Ask them where you can improve. If they find your act entertaining, you may want to consider trying to find a paid gig doing impersonations.
6. Keep up to date on the person you are impersonating. Some people, especially celebrities, change their look or ways quite often. When you are doing impersonations, it is important to stay current.
7. Remember that you are your own person. When you are impersonating someone, it is easy to become so engrossed with the impersonation that it takes over your identity. It is important to come back to reality and just be yourself sometimes.
