[Entertainment/Performance] Impressions that women will nail (crowd-pleasing impersonations)
There probably aren’t many people who love doing impressions in front of others! On the contrary, more people likely find it hard to perform in public.
That said, there are times—at work gatherings, get-togethers with friends, wedding receptions, or parties—when you have to put on some kind of performance.
In this article, we’ve picked out impression material that’s likely to get laughs and is easy for women to try.
From bits that work regardless of age or gender to impersonations of various TV personalities—there’s something for everyone.
Keep these in mind as a handy reference for when the time comes!
[Entertainment/Performance] Funny Impressions Recommended for Women (1–10)
YOU
As a bit of entertainment, doing a sharp-tongued routine in an impression of YOU could be interesting, don’t you think? If you pinch your nose, you’ll sort of capture the vibe, so I think the key isn’t the quality of the impression itself, but rather choosing the kinds of lines YOU would likely say.
Anya
SPY×FAMILY is a hugely popular TV anime beloved by both children and adults! Among the characters, Anya, a girl with psychic powers, is especially popular for cosplay.
Some of you may have even tried dressing up as Anya for Halloween! Anya’s voice is distinctive and easy to imitate, so she’s a great recommendation for women who are unsure about what act or performance to do.
The voice actor varies her delivery depending on the scene, so be sure to study by watching the anime.
Pikachu
Pocket Monsters, which has been a hit both in Japan and abroad, is a work loved by people of all ages in both its games and anime.
Pikachu, who appears in Pokémon, is an extremely popular character, so it’s a surefire choice for impressions.
Voice impersonations are easy to try even for kids and girls, so give it a shot!
Crayon Shin-chan
The long-running anime series Crayon Shin-chan, affectionately known as “Kure-shin,” is a household name.
There are probably very few Japanese people who don’t know Shin-chan.
He’s a character with popularity and recognition across a wide range of ages.
Since Shin-chan’s voice actor is a woman, it should be easy for girls to imitate, too! Once you get the hang of the technique, it doesn’t seem that hard—so how about trying it as a party act?
My Melo
My Melody steadfastly holds a spot in the top 10 of the Sanrio Character Ranking every year.
With her soft, dreamy vibe, she’s a beloved character among both adults and children! In the TV anime “Onegai My Melody,” where My Melody is the protagonist, you can hear her adorable voice.
It’s cute but a bit distinctive, making it great for impressions too! If you’re a woman who can produce a sweet, charming voice, definitely give it a try.
I think she’s a character that appeals to every generation!
Shinobu Kocho
The anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba was a huge hit in 2019.
Shinobu Kocho is one of the characters who appears in the series.
Despite her delicate and cute appearance, she’s one of the highest-ranking members of the Demon Slayer Corps, and her strong will is part of her charm.
Why not try doing an impression of her voice? Voice impressions are very popular as a casual performance you can do anywhere.
They come in handy when you’re performing solo or when someone suddenly says, “Do something!” Whether you’re trying voice impressions for the first time or you already have a few in your repertoire, give it a try!
Ai Hoshino
The anime “Oshi no Ko” became a major hit, boosted by the synergy with YOASOBI’s opening theme “Idol.” How about doing an impression of Hoshino Ai, the inspiration for “Idol” and a key figure in the story? The key is how you portray the ultimate idol who captivates people by acting perfectly while hiding the truth.
She appears bright, cute, and straightforward, yet there’s a hint of shadow that makes her a profoundly deep character.
Donald Duck
Impersonating Disney characters is definitely one of the bits that girls will get.
Donald Duck doesn’t have lines, and making a duck sound isn’t too hard, so he’s also great for a quick gag.
When you’re stuck for material, why not cutely turn into Donald?
No-Face
Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away was a huge hit, and many of you have probably seen it.
Among its characters, the one with a striking presence was No-Face.
There’s a memorable scene where No-Face lures a frog and others with gold in the middle of the night and eats them.
This is a grand project (lol) where you perform all of that alone.
Highly recommended for those who can do video editing!
Kiki
Among Studio Ghibli films, Kiki’s Delivery Service is especially popular across generations.
Starring the apprentice witch Kiki, it’s memorable for its heartwarming story and the beautiful depiction of a seaside town.
Kiki is voiced by Minami Takayama, who’s also famous for Detective Conan, right? Lively, energetic Kiki is a character that’s easy to imitate.
Just wearing her trademark black dress and red ribbon will give you a Kiki-like look.
Doing impressions while throwing in some self-deprecating jokes would likely liven things up, too!
