A Phonetic Case Study of Impersonation
نویسنده
چکیده
To use impersonation in order to entertain it is necessary to be aware of the target speaker’s speech behaviour and characteristic features. Does a professional impersonator really change his own voice quality and speech behaviour substantially in his impersonation, or does he only exaggerate some features of the target speaker to cheat and entertain the audience? The results of this analysis proves that the impersonator in this study really changes his own voice, his prosody, his pitch level, his dialect and some segments to succeed in his impersonation. This is a short version of an unpublished paper on impersonation.
