    Welles’s voice is tremendously difficult to impersonate. LaMarche comes really close, but in my opinion it’s not deep or resonant enough, and a bit too nasal. But brilliant nevertheless! Besides, there is no such thing as a perfect impression.

    • @richarquis
      @richarquis 9 місяців тому +1

      The pitch doesn't matter, because he gets all the nuances and inflections dead on. I love his Orson Welles impersonations, and Brain, perhaps my favorite cartoon character ever, is based on Welles. Impatient, overbearing, cynical, short tempered, uncompromising, completely unwilling to suffer fools, but with enough intelligence to justify it all. Brain is everything that Welles was known for. He's the perfect character for the voice, and the voice is perfect for his character. Absolute gold.
