Voice impression aside, the one who talked about Monopoly did a pretty impressive ad lib, much longer than the other voice samples, and quite in character for Lisa.
I really like how Yeardley is honest about the impressions--kind, but honest. She doesn't pretend that everyone nailed it, which sometimes happens when voice artists watch fans mimic their impressions. But her criticisms are constructive.
I seen her on Maximum Overdrive. Because I didn't know what she looked like at the time it was hard to find her at first until she started screaming and complaining. Just imagine Lisa with a Southern Accent and a foul mouth.
@@raraszek Not really. She mentioned that people can’t really do her voice/Lisa’s voice is hard to do. The other voices can be replaced, but Lisa’s really can’t.
She's right about voice actors. I remember the episode where Lisa took a bus and got lost. Yeardley's voice acting in that episode made me worry about Lisa's safety.
I like that she actually gave critiques instead of just saying they were all “pretty good.” (The other couple videos of this that I’ve seen have all been that way.)
It’s interesting to think about that yeardley is the only one that has one character to voice but like everyone has said, it’s a very difficult and specific voice and hearing the impressions they aren’t near to where yeardley has perfected (although Lisa’s game changer impressions was nearly as perfect)
Actually that's not true, she only has one that she voices every episode but she has actually been the voice of a great deal of side characters and one off characters
When The Simpsons debuted, I was a little younger than Bart. Now, I'm older than Homer! I Literally grew up watching The Simpsons. Oh, and Lisa's by far my favorite character.
Thanks for bringing such an iconic character to life! Lisa gave me an outspoken, smart, and ambitious character to look up to when I was young. Still mad she set the expectation for Paul McCartney to pop up when i decided to become a vegetarian. That did not happen for me. 😹
People forget that lisa simpson is more than just Yardley's voice going to a higher nasal pitch you actually have to act like a child and put emotion into it to make it sound right and even then its almost impossible to do her iconic lisa laugh. A lot of people could probably get the pitch right both female and even male with enough practice but the voice itself is very hard to replicate however if your doing voice impressions for fun I can honestly say that the marge simpson voice is harder as that hurts your throat so I wouldn't recommend anyone to try that for long periods of time. Honestly none of the original voice cast could ever be replaced in my eyes they all have unique voices and are professionals and I hope if the voice actors and actresses still enjoy voicing the characters that they can keep going until either one of them quits or sadly passes away.
She looks so pretty and sweet!! I have always been impressed by how voice actors like her change their voice when they get into the character that they are voicing
I often credit Lisa Simpson as the reason I eventually went vegan. As soon as I learned about Lisa the Vegetarian, I've wanted to be a vegetarian, but I was a kid and my parents laughed at me thinking I could never do that. Once I turned 20 for my birthday, I tried out going vegan and then just never turned back. About to be 5 years in February and still going strong. My love for The Simpsons will never die and I love the new seasons too!
@@Milamberinx Oh, do you pay for animals to be abused and hacked up on your behalf because you like the taste of their dead bodies and secretions? You should go and make an edgy, unoriginal comment towards somebody who is more compassionate than yourself, so that you can make yourself feel better about how ignorant you are. 🙂
Man, you got a bunch of sourpusses responding to you. I tried to be vegetarian as a kid, and my mom let me, so I strongly identified with Lisa. Especially the pig episode ("It's still good! It's still good!"). But I am neurodivergent (definitely ADHD, maybe autistic) and have sensory processing differences, including my senses of taste and smell and my reaction to certain food textures. So I am a very picky eater and didn't like any vegetables as a kid. My mom slowly and subtly recommended I add certain meats to my diet, like fish or chicken, so I didn't die of malnutrition. But as an adult, I am vegetarian again! Well over a decade now.
@@Milamberinx it's very relevant to the video, this person is saying Lisa Simpson had a major impact on their life, just because you're vegan it doesn't magically mean you can't share your life experiences anymore because that's a stereotype
My favorite all time movie is Maximum Overdrive. After all these years the one line Yeardley uses in the movie "Curtis,... Are you dead?' still has stuck with me. I love it.
Learning that they sometimes replace the voice actors if one is too sick… so some scenes have the simpsons voiced by someone else and we have no idea which 🤯
I wonder if she just meant for table reads. I can’t imagine they have people impersonating the voices when they’re actually recording instead of waiting for the actor to be available.
Yea it's not that they literally replace them. It's likely for recording sessions where the two characters are in the same scene and/or for table reads.
To other people the impressions might sound accurate but for voice actors they hear different. You can hear the difference instantly in these. None of them nailed it but there were couple great ones! 👌👌👌👌
@@Harderanger Did you ever watch the (amazing) show Community? There is an old man character called Pierce Hawthorne who tries to bring back the phrase "streets ahead". That is the only place i've heard it.
Lisa is my favorite, she is the reason I play the sax and love it and I hope to play bari one day. I love her beliefs and when she laughs, I cant help but laugh.
Lisa Simpson was always my favorite out of The Simpsons her and Marge I love them both and their voices are a huge part of that I’m always drawn to voices I love them and her voice is so intelligent and inspiring I love Lisa, and Yeardley Smith is so cool 😎
She also did the voice for Lisa Simpson as Cecelia Nuthatch on the movie (We’re back) I don’t know why but it took me years to realize that it was her💯💀
I find it fascinating how as I’ve grown up Lisa became more and more of a favorite character of mine. At first i saw her as the goody two shoes character that was always trying to spoil the bart fun. But over time they gave her character more depth and as i got older i sympathized more with the social causes Lisa fought for. Except for going vegetarian, i love eating meat WAAAY too much to give that up. I even appreciate the sound of Lisa’s voice significantly more now than i did when i was a kid.
"Watching" this with the actual video in the background, so I can hear the differences in impressions much more starkly. A couple of them are pretty solid, though.
I’m a lifelong Simpson’s fan and like most of real fans, the newer seasons are pretty mediocre BUT this season has been pretty dang good! Every episode has made me laugh. I hope they keep the writers around for seasons to come. Never end the simpsons!!!!
Yardley Smith is mostly know for the Simpson, but he was an in front of camera in her youth. She was in 80s cult classics like Maxium Overdrive and The Ledgen of Billy Jean and Herman's Head TV series.
Before I even knew what the actress who played Lisa looked like, I saw Yeardley Smith have a small role on a movie called City Slickers. I was like, Oh My God that’s Lisa Simpson!!!
I've only ever seen Yeardley Smith in one movie: The Legend of Billie Jean. That one role of hers is burned into my head which makes it impossible to accept that she's now entering into her 60's.
One of my top favorite FOX crossovers was on an episode of Inside Herman’s Head, where Yeardley’s character angrily yells “I do not!” into a phone before hanging up and complaining, “That’s the fifth time today someone’s said I sound like Lisa Simpson!”
She is so sweet about this, i love the wholesome vibe! I think it is really interesting how she is able to just switch her voice to "helium mode" at a whim
Voice impression aside, the one who talked about Monopoly did a pretty impressive ad lib, much longer than the other voice samples, and quite in character for Lisa.
It was so on point for Lisa's character too, scarily good.
It’s called Game Changers very funny all improv
And as much as it did get a little robotic, I thought her 'future!' at the end was really, really good.
It was planned out, but still funny.
@@baxtronx5972it’s an improv show it’s not planned
I really like how Yeardley is honest about the impressions--kind, but honest. She doesn't pretend that everyone nailed it, which sometimes happens when voice artists watch fans mimic their impressions. But her criticisms are constructive.
Those eyes are closer to each other than I am to any of my family members.
@@MrJCV1605 bro really felt the need to say that 💀
Yeah they are all like that and someone always comments about it.
I find it appropriate that she actually looks like an adult Lisa
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She really does
She kinda looks like a failed Dolly Parton clone
Looks nothing like her 😂
@@GTLB302 843 people think otherwise (and counting)
Lisa Gilroy is the only good one, and that's on top of the fact that she was coming up with funny and accurate improv at the same time. 11/10
No she sucked too
Yes if Lisa were a robot
And she improvised the lines which is impressive
Still not a patch on Dickie or the Peanut... Gilroy is the greatest
And her first name is also Lisa. Gotta love that.
Her natural speaking voice is extremely pleasant.
Sounds exactly like Lisa Simpson 🤣
She’s chill af. Love her
I love that the voice is pitchy and high but also has an undertone which is low and annoyed. Amazing. A real character.
Billy West said the same thing about voicing Fry with respect to job security and making Fry's voice sound pretty much just like his.
It's great getting to see Yeardley in person, since I grew up listening to only her voice! 😂
Awesome! 🙏👍
I remember watching her on Herman's Head and then Dharma & Greg!!
I seen her on Maximum Overdrive. Because I didn't know what she looked like at the time it was hard to find her at first until she started screaming and complaining. Just imagine Lisa with a Southern Accent and a foul mouth.
You never watched hermans head? she was a on that show
@@Empresslockness i loved her so much on dharma and greg
Lisa Gilroy's impression is obviously the best.
Lisa’s Lisa was pretty dope! 🙂👍
It’s much harder to do an impression when you’re making up what the person is saying rather than reciting quotes.
Wasn't that hard to be the best of this lot, none were really spot on
I thought she just as bad as the rest
not as good as Christen Duggar’s impression 🤣
$85 mill for that iconic voice. Go her.
85 MILLION DOLLARS?
@@tany2191 They all make 300K a episode.... and thats a whole lotta episodes she got paid that much for.
@@joshboy88420 Kinda unfair for the other voice actors, considering the guys do like 10+ characters each, and Yeardley only does Lisa
@@raraszek Not really. She mentioned that people can’t really do her voice/Lisa’s voice is hard to do. The other voices can be replaced, but Lisa’s really can’t.
it sounds like no one else can replicate it.
She's right about voice actors. I remember the episode where Lisa took a bus and got lost. Yeardley's voice acting in that episode made me worry about Lisa's safety.
She even got laughed at... in French.
Her voice jumps between her own and Lisas constantly!
I don’t believe she knows how her own voice sounds like any more 😂
It's very, very strange to watch.
This video should be called "Yeardly Smith politely compliments terrible impressions of Lisa Simpson".
Get up Liser
The Monopoly speech one was actually good, though. The rest was absolutely crap lol
LOLLL
@@GayaK91 the speech was good, the impression was not
Lisa Gilroy impression was the best one the rest were trash.
It's nice to see Yeardley. Usually Nancy Cartwright gets all the attention when it comes to Simpsons voices.
Nancy Cartwright is a Scientologist 🤮
Plus Nancy is a scientologist funder and member
Because Nancy has range
Because Nancy is far more talented and has more range
My favorite is Hank Azaria
I like that she actually gave critiques instead of just saying they were all “pretty good.” (The other couple videos of this that I’ve seen have all been that way.)
I love her normal speaking voice! She has an incredibly comforting presence. Thank you for this!! ❤️
How awesome is Yeardley Smith, she doesn't criticise a single impression but adds positive ways they each can improve
It’s interesting to think about that yeardley is the only one that has one character to voice but like everyone has said, it’s a very difficult and specific voice and hearing the impressions they aren’t near to where yeardley has perfected (although Lisa’s game changer impressions was nearly as perfect)

Omg I love this comment so much 😂
LOL, this made me smile. I’ve not become Veggie yet, Paul and Linda (and Lisa) would be so disappointed 😢
Lisa’s not the only one frozen in time. Why is no one talking about Yeardly Smith not aging a day?!
You are kidding, right?
🤨
Seriously, watch “Maximum Overdrive”… she’s aged at least 10 years.
@@derekgilbert1752 yeah, I'd say about 36 years 😅
yeardley has aged and it shows.
When she did the snowball poem it gave me the chills
Same here

Bart and Lisa are the Holy Grails of impressions. Yardly anyone can do them wright.
This wordplay was so wholesome omg 🙏❤
@@MelancholyRequiem
Ha ha. Thank you.
I do every kind of word play.
Wholesome, raunchy, and everything else.
Outstanding. Wordplay straight out of a Jake and Amir skit
What a beautifully classy woman. Growing up with Lisa feels like having been friends with Yeardley this whole time.
She'll always be 'Lisa Simpson' to me 💗
So supportive, so real, so present. Lisa truly embodies Ms. Smith. And vice versa. The best 7.5 minutes of my day. Thank you.
This lady does a great impression of Lisa. The Simpsons should give her a call!
Yeardley Smith is so cool. Such a great voice actor.
I had the pleasure of meeting her at an event during comic con 2019. Probably one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet
Great stuff! She always gave me the impression of being a properly nice lady! :)
I freaking love The Simpsons and _especially_ love watching the actors do the voices. So much fun.

Lisa Gilroy is the funniest person you’ve never heard of. Check out her improv skills on Comedy Bang Bang podcast.
Billy West and Yeardley Smith voice their characters so close to their natural speaking voice that's why it's so hard to impersonate.
Lisa Simpson does a great impression of Yeardley Smith
6:40 she’s so cute haha. I love her. She’s so funny and nice. She’s very talented and Lisa Simpson is such an iconic character

Heaven Help Us for me.
love her responses! giving a compliment on certain aspects, followed by constructive criticism ❤

Please do more for seasons 20-34
I’d pay hard money to meet all the voice actors of the simpsons, my favourite show. Even have a Tattoo of evil Homer on my ankle 😂
my entire life I thought that this woman was Debra Jo Rupp. My 30 year old mind is BLOWN. Love this so much
Lmao I never noticed how similar they sound 🤣🤣 thank you lmao
Debra Jo Rupp's voice does sometimes get confused with Alex Borstein's voice as Lois Griffin.

Watch Yeardley do this makes me wish for a Legend of Billie Jean reunion special. One of my top 5 favorite movies of all time.
She was very nice to all of them. Class act!
Just realized when Yeardley mentioned the Simpsons don’t age that if each episode was one day, there would be two years of them being the same age.
I love her as lisa simpson all day every day. I also love her in one of my fav 80s movies The legend of billie jean.

"YARDley?" I've been producing it "YEARDley."
I can’t explain it… but, but Yeardly literally *looks* like Lisa… idk but she does
Poor Brizzy voices has asked for her old impressions not to be used in these videos for years 😭
aah Yeardley Smith reacted to Brizzy voices!! the way i got so excited when she popped up on the screen.
1:07 Lisa Gilroy is hilarious lol she went viral recently for a video where you feel so bad for her but realize she's just talking about Willy Wonka.
All of the people who have worked with Matt Groening: "I'm the only person who can do this voice"
She is so sweet about this, i love the wholesome vibe!
I think it is really interesting how she is able to just switch her voice to "helium mode" at a whim
