oh fraggline for me gobo is just hard for me in general i hope you will be able to a gobo sneeze soon good luck:smile:
Thanks, rowlfy662! I agree; he's hard for me in general too....perhaps that's why I can't do a Gobo sneeze!
I need a lot of practice with impressions, but I'll keep trying...

Also, to all those Sesame Street fans out there, did anybody else realize that there seem to be about three "i" words that mean "impressions"?

-impressions
-imitations
-impersonations

Practice makes perfect. That's how I finally mastered Fozzie. At first I was horrible, but I got him down pat!

I can do mostly the female voices like Miss Piggy, and Prairie Dawn. As a woman, it's hard for me to do the male characters because my voice is higher, though I can probably do Grover because it's almost the same voice as Miss Piggy.

Hey, cool! Thanks for the advice! My sister and I recently got our hands on a copy of The Great Muppet Caper, and since I adore Piggy's voice from the early 1980s I think I'll try one of her lines.:big_grin:
And, also, I haven't seen much Jim Henson Hour --- who's Digit? Is he from that show?

I especially like imitating Fozzy! I don't know if I am any good, but who knows? I can do the "wocka wocka" and "hiya hiya hiya!"

I know what you mean! I'm not very good at my Fozzie impression, but I definitely love going "Wocka Wocka Wocka!" at any chance I get.

I know! I don't really care if I'm no good, it's just fun!
That's the most important thing with these impressions is having fun with them, as much as that sounds like a moral from a cheesy kids show. :embarrassed:
