[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 (51–60)

Sun Wukong

Identity Dragon Ball next episode preview

This is a comedy sketch by the duo Identity, who are affiliated with Ohta Production.

Tajima plays Masako Nozawa, the voice actress for Son Goku from Dragon Ball, while Miura plays Android 17.

The key is the exquisite mix where, in Masako Nozawa’s voice as Son Goku, the actual Dragon Ball Son Goku pops up here and there.

It’s a challenging bit, so starting with flashy costumes might be a good idea.

Haruka Ayase

Haruka Ayase is an actress who shows an airheaded side you’d never expect from her poised, beautiful appearance.

Her way of speaking and moving is very distinctive, and lots of people imitate her.

Once you grasp her key traits, almost any words or actions can come across as Haruka Ayase, so if you’re going to try impressions, why not start with her? Pay attention to her slightly muffled-sounding voice and her speaking pace when you give it a shot! If you make your face and hairstyle resemble hers, you might get even more laughs.

If improvising on the spot is tough, recreating her commercials or drama scenes could be a good approach!

Lupin the Third

[Impression/Voice Imitation] Lupin the Third Voice Imitation Tutorial! How to do Lupin’s voice lol
Lupin the Third

Even people who have never actually watched Monkey Punch’s manga/anime Lupin the Third often know the main character, Arsène Lupin III.

But when it comes to doing an impression as a party trick, just listening to the voice doesn’t really reveal the knack, and it can be tough.

This explains how to mimic Lupin’s voice using clear examples, practice methods, and diagrams.

Once you have that “I get it!” moment, your practice should go much more smoothly!

Takarazuka Revue

[Impressions Only True Fans Will Get] Former Takarazuka Star Maya Ayaha – Takarazuka Parody Skits [Series]
Takarazuka Revue

The Takarazuka Revue, which has been running since its first performance in 1914, continues to capture the hearts of many women.

Even those who aren’t so-called “Zuka fans” have likely admired its dazzling stage at some point.

The exaggerated lines and gestures—so different from everyday life—are part of its great charm.

It can be quite entertaining to do impressions of them as well.

Ryoko Yonekura

Doctor X ~Not Michiko Daimon, but Muchiko Daimon (a pun meaning 'Ignorant-ko Daimon')~
Ryoko Yonekura

Ryoko Yonekura, an actress who often plays cool, straightforward “older-sister” types, is a perfect fit for Michiko Daimon in the long-running hit drama Doctor X, and that role leaves a strong impression.

Her cool vibe and blunt way of speaking really feel like a surgeon.

With so many iconic lines, like “I never fail,” why not try them out with people who know the show?
