Impersonate a Celebrity
Celebrity impersonators are popular additions to fundraisers, corporate events and parties. In addition to being a source of great amusement for their families and friends. Impersonating a celebrity requires research and practice. The good news is the process of impersonating a celebrity is the same whether you want to transform into a president or a rock star.
Instructions
1. Study the cultural output of the celebrity you wish to impersonate. If it's an actor, spend time watching all of her movies. When you want to impersonate a musician listen to his albums and watch videos or concert footage. Politicians can be viewed in action by watching C-SPAN or the nightly news.
2. Learn important catch phrases, mega-hit songs or stirring speeches that are instantly recognizable as belonging to the celebrity. If you're not a fan of the celebrity and need to see them, do a quick internet search to identify her most famous moment.
3. Copy the celebrity's fashion, make-up and hair. Seek out still photos of the celebrity either on the Internet or in a weekly gossip magazine. Identify trends when impersonating a major celebrity, go for his or her iconic look.
4. Watch interviews of the celebrity out-of-character. When wandering around parties as the celeb, you will need to make small talk apart from your act. To be truly authentic, find out how the celebrity acts in interviews and adopt that persona.
5. Practice your act. Start with the song or act you plan to do, then add hair, make-up and costume. Once you are comfortable enough impersonating the celebrity alone, perform the act for a trusted friend or family members to get feedback. Incorporate any changes you need to make and take your act on the road.
