All of the above could be referred to as general impersonations of general characters/actors.

All through my life, I have made the people around me laugh through impersonating teachers, neighbours, tv characters and personalities, friends and family members and through raconteuring incorporating dozens of accents and dialects. I possess a built in ability to absorb and observe a persons idiosincries and body language and voice in general and then I can impersonate them very closely, very quickly. I have no formal training in this area. I do not have my own studio. I have drawn inspiration from the many colourful and characterful individuals that I have had the pleasure to observe or be in company with, and some form the basis for particular voices, attitudes, mannerisns, speech patterns.
