Impersonation
Impersonation means pretending to be someone else, like copying their voice, mannerisms, or actions.
Difference between Impersonation and Acting
Impersonation is when you copy a specific person, like a famous character or a real-life person, while acting is when you play a role in a story or performance, but it doesn’t have to be a specific person.
Demonstration of Impersonation
To impersonate someone, you can try to talk like them, move like them, or even dress like them. For example, if you want to impersonate a famous singer, you might try to sing one of their songs and imitate their style or voice. Or if you want to impersonate a friend, you might copy the way they walk or talk.
