+The Internet Killed Music It's actually the opposite. It's a lot easier to make an impression that seems very good when you've got more time. If you only have 2 to 3 seconds you have to perfectly catch the essence of body language, facial expression, and not only the accent, but also enounciation, speed, and pauses the person usually makes. All at once.
Bro, Matthew McConaughey, Brad Pitt and Aaron Paul are SPOT ON, but especially Matthew, good lord if i wasn't lookin' i'd think that's actually him talking.
+Randy Kemuksigak Paul F. Tompkins does him as a character sometimes, he's not the best at impressions but he gets his speech patterns across great, check his CBB bit trying to out-act John Hamm, it's on here.
I don't watch TWD so I had no idea who this was, I came here from watching a parody video of The House of Cards meets Game of Thrones. I actually thought they got Kevin Spacey to do the voice for it. Scariest \ Weirdest\ Coolest thing ever.
The problem with some impressions is that certain actors/comedians can at times over emphasize certain traits, making their tone really ridiculous to try to get laughs. These impressions tend to be over the top and eventually the silliness wears off to the point that they aren't funny. Ross' impressions in this video, on the other hand, were so quick and their tone just subtle enough that they come off believable, and identify character traits in smaller, and (in my opinion) more interesting ways. I kind of get an "oh, yeah! yeah! that's it" laugh out of all of these. Really brilliant
VERY well put! He’s absolutely amazing. I honestly haven’t seen an impressionist this good since Rich Little. (For most of you, go look him up...lol. He was old when I was a kid, but famous as an impressionist) I think he might even be BETTER than Rich! I got to meet Ross at a convention & he was so sweet, polite, & extremely modest. Lovely person! VERY talented!
any time a character dies, he should just burst on to the scene, say something funny in a celebrities voice, then leave everyone laughing over a dying/dead beloved character.
+mickyjoe97 Now you got me picturing the show ending with Aaron being the last survivor left as he then spends the remainder of the episode doing impressions of all the dead characters! XD
Aaron Paul recognizes a smell haha! It was so perfect! Surprisingly I thought the Christopher Walken was the weakest - it's usually every impersonators' go-to voice.
It's true, but the facial expressions and mannerisms are a lot of it too! When he does Spacey, he actually *looks* like him! It's even more apparent on the thing he did on Jimmy Kimmel.
So good. I appreciate the minutia, which is what impressions are all about. It's not just parroting the line from a movie in that voice, it's adapting it to every day life. Love it.
It's so cool to see Ross getting noticed. I remember watching him on the impression guys and having my mind blown. Then he was on Walking dead, and now on vanity fair... He's going places!!! Jim Meskimen would be proud
Ross Marquand does amazing impressions. The way he shifts not only his voice and the intonation with which he speaks, but his posture is outstanding. He's also a great actor - for those of you not watching TWD he's doing a great job.
Wow this is actually amazing, even some of the obvious ones were great, he picks up on the minor things all the little mannerisms the directions he looks the quick half smiles or the hand movements all fit so perfectly to whoever he's doing. really amazing stuff ross!
John C. Reilly just killed me! As soon as he impersonated him that's all I could see in the video was him and not the impersonator. He would do that too..
James Gandolfini impression was like 1 second and I instantly recognized it. Just replayed it without looking at the video, just listening to the impression and it sounds like it's Gandolfini. AMAZING.
Awesome, well done. So cool that he can display the essence of someone else with a couple of gestures in a couple of seconds. My favs are Marquand's Brad Pitt, McConaughey, Harrison Ford, and Kevin Spacey. So spot on!
+Amy Argyle I'm not saying it's not him or anything! I'm saying that the voice quality is really really good! And some voices are louder than others as if the mic is super close to his mouth I was only suggesting that after doing 15 years of voice over work myself
Flash fiction, tweets...nano impressions. For our ever shortening attention span...but the good ones require so much effort and contain all the elements of a full-length version. Nice.
I've seen a whole lot impressions, both in real life and on the internet. I just find it fun to watch and see how good some people are and maybe how bad some others are, I really like it. But, I've found few people that are truly spot on when it comes down to making the exact body language and the exact voice at the same time, that sort of gives us, the viewers and the listeners, the whole package. Also, you often need to have some cracking jokes that really can go all the way in and make the people laugh, or atleast some great quotes, just for example, which he had, atleast few of them. I know that Ross Marquand only made short appearances, but this is my first time I ever watch any of his clips at all, and the very first time I actually found him on the internet, when typing ''impression'' on UA-cam, and there he showed up, and now am here commenting after just watching the whole clip. I can just say, that it was honestly 2 minutes and 17 seconds of non-waste time, worth every second to watch him do these impressions. Because, it was just absolutely spot on, atleast most of them as I can remember, truly magnificant impersonation, and no doubt one of the best imitators I've ever seen. Very entertaining and accurate, funny jokes, and some remarkable impressions to some celebrities that I've actually not seen getting imitated before. Well done, please keep up the good work, and a massive Thank you! :)
I feel like the minimalist approach works really well. Haven't seen a lot of that. Sometimes he doesn't even say a word. He just nails what he does and it works flawlessly.
LOL I died laughing so hard!!! You pretty much nailed every single and have by far the best impersonations! You should do more Harrison Ford, Jason Statham, Michael Caine and George Clooney!!!
These arn't just voice impressions they are psychological profiles
100% true
psychiatric, even
Seriously. Dude looks nothing like Brad Pitt but I swear you could recognize the impression with the volume muted. Freaky.
@@etme1000how is this anything to do with the field of psychological medicine lmao
Michael Caine was spot on.
*****
Michael Caine was the one that made me recoil because of how accurate it was.
+Ratman I wasn't sure who Michael Caine was. Then he did the impression, and I was like "oh that guy." So yeah, spot on.
+Ratman Michael Caine saying his own name in his own accent says "my cocaine".
+Tearra Paige yah what why do you have so many thumbs up

Wow that Matthew McConaughey that was SPOT ON.
+RMJ1984 thats the one i really loled
+RMJ1984 Helps that he kinda looks like MM.
RMJ1984 😁
Matthew McConaughey was alright.
not exactly a difficult one to do...
During the John C Reily impression, the micro pause to think about the word "hyperbolic" is so good lol
Sounds more like Kevin Spacey than Kevin Spacey.
+Brendan you're telling me that's his voice?
Alpaca Male 🙄🙄🙄
well maybe not so much
@purplerains It's late 90s early 2000s Spacey. It's identical to his voice in Seven.
He does tho
The John C. Reily one killed me.
+American Strength RIP
+American Strength ayyyyy nice pic
F
+TheSqueezedLemon My man
+American Strength I had to Google him after. HAHA
The clips are so short yet completely incapsulate the character
I feel like it makes it a bit easier for him , them being so short. Less of a chance of messing up. And yes they are very good.
No wonder this guy is the Red Skull in Infinity War
And "Endgame".
Dude straight up stole these celebrity’s souls with the stone to do these impressions
wait he is??
@@yepisuredolikecats3979 yupp
We may all think that at first. We are all wrong.

iiiamalex And the ones you named aren’t even the best ones.
Clooney tho
The Kevin Spacey one is insane
I've never heard anyone do a John C. Reilly impersonation before, so bravo! Even a half assed one would be impressive, but he did it perfectly.
+Randy Kemuksigak Also, Cool Runnings 2 would be amazing with Spacey in it.

Bro this is just a UA-cam video
I fucking love Michael Caine impressions.
+zamardii12 I lost it on that one !
+zamardii12 You should see Michael Caine do an impression of Michael Caine. I'm not joking, he has done it.
+zamardii12 something something Northernlion something
@zamardii12--Watch "The Trip" with Steve Coogan and ffwd to the dinner scene where they trade Caine impressions!!! it's top notch.
You were only supposed to blow the bloody DOORS OFF!
The Harrison Ford impression was my favourite
You know how good this guy is? I looked away for one prompt and still knew it was Harrison Ford trying to sneeze.
The Antonio Banderas one killed me.
Tyler TheDrummerr Same 😂
Magnificent distillation of the essence of these people. Had to watch Michael Caine struggling with a jar over and over again.
I genuinely wish there was an Academy Award category for Best Impressionist, ever! Seriously, give him an Oscar already!
Matthew McConaughey is pure pleasure lol even his facial expressions are spot on, it's awesome
We need more of this from Aaron on The Walking Dead.
+MrBWhite88

What amazes me the most about this guy is that not only does he imitate their voices, but he imitates their entire facial structure, it's incredible.
This dude is AWESOME!
Aaron Paul recognizes a smell haha! It was so perfect! Surprisingly I thought the Christopher Walken was the weakest - it's usually every impersonators' go-to voice.
Really? I feel like most Walken impressions over do it. I thought his was spot on
SPOT ON!
it's not just the voice impressions that are great, but he even accurately mimicks their gestures. impressive.
Hey look...It's the Red Skull
C.J. Botshiwe He ain't no Mr Smith though.
He’s still Aaron to me lol.
@@GOATEDGRIMES Aaron for life
The James Gandolfini one was the best!
Eli Schumacher i never laughed so hard in my life
mister meseeks Me too!!!!!!
WHATISISH?!
He has a perfect James Gandolfini's impression,
I can’t tell if his Aaron Paul impression was bad or the greatest thing I ever heard
...dude!
TylertheRecreator A Breaking Bad impression perhaps...
OK. do this. Read the names and close your eyes to just listen to the voices. Some of them are so spot-on its horrifying O_O
Yeah but most of them are awesome because of the facial expressions

Holy shit these are good!
Everyone's saying this is spot on, that is spot on... Bro, *every* impression was spot on. Every single one of them.
Matthew McConaughey, John C. Reily and Aaron Paul were absolutely perfect.
So good. I appreciate the minutia, which is what impressions are all about. It's not just parroting the line from a movie in that voice, it's adapting it to every day life. Love it.
that jason statham one made me lose my shit oh my god that was good
His Matthew McConaughey mannerisms sell it even more than the voice... amazing!
John C. Reily and Antonio Banderas one got me good
You know you're good impressionist when a few seconds is 100% recognizable and spot on.
It's so cool to see Ross getting noticed. I remember watching him on the impression guys and having my mind blown. Then he was on Walking dead, and now on vanity fair... He's going places!!! Jim Meskimen would be proud

He nailed it playing Hugo Weaving playing Red Skull haha
Over 2 years now and I still can’t get enough of this!
Justin timberlake was perfect lol
These are the best impressions I've ever seen. This guy is pure magic.
A ton of these were amazing, loved the Brad Pitt one
Love Ross! He is one of the nicest people when you meet him in person. Great actor too!
This was pure gold.
Wow this is actually amazing, even some of the obvious ones were great, he picks up on the minor things all the little mannerisms the directions he looks the quick half smiles or the hand movements all fit so perfectly to whoever he's doing. really amazing stuff ross!
Very good. Didn't realize this guy was such a quality actor.
You’d think at least one of these would be bad, but nope, they’re all spot on.
I lost it at John C Reilly. These are painfully accurate bahaha
Ross needs to be in more movies and TV series, so that he can make guest appearances on late night shows and do more of these impressions.
In the words of Christopher Walken- “wow, magic”.
that christian bale one was incredible.
0:36 The Kevin Spacey one is great especially since he himself is an impressionist.
In this video, I’m not just impressed by his impression skills, I’m straight out impressed by his acting!
John C. Reilly just killed me! As soon as he impersonated him that's all I could see in the video was him and not the impersonator. He would do that too..

SPOILERS INFINITY WAR:
He's the one who's Red Skull in the movie, not Hugo Weaving :0
never heard a John c Riley one and you sir nailed it. .well done
Jason and the Charlie horse one was brilliant! Hahaha
Kevin Spacey... damn. So cool seeing one of my favourite actors done so well.
That Antonio Banderas one could have worked with Pedro Pascal too!
Buenomars Pedro Pascal actually has an American accent
Awesome, well done. So cool that he can display the essence of someone else with a couple of gestures in a couple of seconds. My favs are Marquand's Brad Pitt, McConaughey, Harrison Ford, and Kevin Spacey. So spot on!
Does it not look like to anyone else that he's miming to snippets of their real voices?! Ofc if I am wrong then this is merely a flattering compliment
Actually I think he did voice overs for the video so the quality is better than mic on the stick lol
He is definitley not lip syncing . Know the guy personally. He's just ridiculously talkented
+Amy Argyle I'm not saying it's not him or anything! I'm saying that the voice quality is really really good! And some voices are louder than others as if the mic is super close to his mouth I was only suggesting that after doing 15 years of voice over work myself
+Issacsf no worries,love. was just reassuring ya that it's him :)
+Amy Argyle thanks Hun! He's definitely super talented and I'm super beyond excited he's being recognized for his talents! 😄
this guy is unreal , i think he maybe the best ive ever scene purely based on the amount he can do and sooooooooo well
So why would you give this guy the most boring role on Walking Dead? He could have done fricken NEGAN, he's incredible
Aaron is my fave on TWD. Ross is so talented. Hilarious impressions!
the matthew mcconaughey one seems like he would actually do that hahaha
I laughed with the Christian Bale one for some reason. I guess the entire video was spot on
His Kevin Spacey was amazing lol
This guy is a genius. Michael Caine was PERFECT. Christian Bale was spot on, and so was Kevin Spacey.
I'd love to see his Hugo Weaving impressions.
Ross Marquand and Frank Caliendo are masters at impressions!
This the same gay guy from the Walking Dead?
+Sir NOSAJ Yes, Aaron
+Sir NOSAJ I hope Aaron is dead
+Zügellos Still alive in the comics.
+Zügellos Wtf has he done wrong? lol
+Sir NOSAJ I was thinking he looked like an actor Ive seen before....
The Aaron Paul one was my favorite haha. perfect on all of them!
Holy frick he’s good. No wonder I didn’t notice at first in Avengers that it was him
That's crazy, I never knew John C. Reily by name but as soon as he did the impression I knew exactly who it was
My God they're all perfect...
I wish these were longer, they were awesome xD
John c reily and marlon brando were on point
there are professional impressionists who can't do half of what he just did. insanely good
When John C. Reilly sees this he's going to laugh his ass off
Flash fiction, tweets...nano impressions. For our ever shortening attention span...but the good ones require so much effort and contain all the elements of a full-length version. Nice.
That Harrison Ford was so good I could tell what age his Ford is. Its Ford in his 40s
Holy moses, Matthew McCaunahey, spot on. Ross is the best impressionist I've ever seen.
ohh ah... nah you're probably alright alright alright.
I don't why but the Jason Statham getting a Charlie horse one made me laugh!😂
Aaron paul..that one killed me
The Aaron Paul one is my favorite, just so perfect. also love the John C. Reilly one, hysterical! he is absolutely amazing at this

Haha, hands down, the best impressions!:)
I've been a fan of Ross since day 1 and I'm so happy he is doing so well, he deserves more success than anyone!!
I laughed through every last moment of this.
