That was fantastic. I got chills, especially as I love Six's discourse at the Trial and he delivers it perfectly in this impression! Also Seven and War were fantastic, I think they are good best impressions in the vid.
Im so happy you went for proper impish 1, not just just the grauch lots of people go for. He was impatient and short tempered sure, but he wasn't just "grumpy".
He was a grumpy old man from The Unearthly Child to Edge of Destruction. By Marco Polo he has warmed up to Ian, Barbara and humanity and takes on this cheeky old man tone. It’s fine to do a grumpy First sometimes. But when, like in Twice Upon A Time or The Five Doctors, he is played like a grumpy old man at a point in his personal timeline past Edge of Destruction it’s very irksome.
Even the voices that _weren’t_ absolutely spot-on… all I can honestly say is you channeled each Doctor’s energy to their fullest, and for that, good sir, I applaud you. 👏🏻👏🏻
Best ones for me were Hurt (spot on!), Hartnell, then both Bakers were pretty decent. Sometimes when the voice wasn't quite right, you mannerisms and general tone were spot on, which made up for it. Really impressive overall!
I like how your 7 has a strong touch of John Hurt, and your enthusiastic speech from each version reminds this senior fan how they are all the same, eccentric, positive, endearing character, the marvellous Doctor! Very well done, thank you - hugely entertaining, and life-affirming ;D
What a fantastic demonstration of range! Your John Hurt was especially good, but even the few not-as-accurate ones had a sparkle of genius. As for constructive criticism, honestly the few places where you fell short seemed more like an acting problem than a voice problem. Your acting was excellent in most places, bringing so much to the performances, and it seems to be the key to unlock the voices. If I'm directing you, these are my notes: 4: "Pretend that everyone understands you. Don't care if they actually do." 7: "You /do/ care if people understand you. It /really/ matters to you." 8: "You know that nothing you say will actually fix it. Say it anyway." 10: "You're just talking to yourself, always." 11: "The sentence you're saying right now has already bored you. Next!" 13: "Less tortured. Everything is exciting to you, even sorrow."
OMG, I'm obviously from the UK and your British accent is absolutely SPOT ON!!!! Absolutely fantastic. Your first doctor was my favourite, your John Hurt excellent also, and I also thought your Colin Baker was very good too. Oh and an American doing a Scottish accent!!! Far more convincing than Frazer Hines attempt at Jamie. Well done sir, you are very talented. I worked as an actor for 30 years so i think I know real talent when i see it x
One, Three, Six, War and Twelve were practically perfect! You could do wonders with those voices. Also, you matched 13’s energy very well too. You almost had it with 8 though. You need to soften the voice a little bit. Really study his voice. 7 was also really close, but McCoy has a really wide vocal range and uses it a lot. Yours felt really flat, but I think giving the tone of your delivery some variety will help fix that. Overall, a stellar attempt!
Thanks Louis! I loved the campaign for Living Paintings you spearheaded. Doctor Who is magical, and you have made it accessible to so many more. Also I love your music.
Literally, FANTASTIC! I found your channel literally out of nowhere but I think I found my new favourite doctor who channel. I absolutely loved your Colin Baker's impression, I thought you actually took the audio from his monologue because it was so good, literally bit where you said "Cybermen!", it was phenomenal. The bit where you went all-out with your Peter Davison impression was hilarious. I hope to see more content from you or if this was the last video I saw from your channel, it give me some joy. Keep up the good work, Jeremy. 👍
These are fantastic. I envy you your talent. If you haven't done any Big Finish type audio productions, you really should. I haven't heard anyone do a better Hartnell, Davison or Hurt.
I was impressed by your Tom Baker, pleasantly entertained by the rest, and then got to the War Doctor and felt my jaw drop. That's such a fucking good John Hurt lmao It's difficult to do some impressions when your voice just isn't the right register for it, but in spite of that, you manage to capture some of the important dialectical mannerisms of each of them. You do a great job with the range you've got. This was very fun to watch!
I was watching someone else do impressions so I thought I'd search for others. This was so good. "No. Brilliant!" Not only did you nail the impressions but I forgot you weren't British a few times. Hehe. Wasn't just the voices but the expressions was great too. Like the 2nd Doctor and his eyebrows. And almost all the Doctors saying 'mmm?' That was fun
My review ~ Your First is close to perfect. Your Second needs substantial work but you have the cadence mastered already and it’s still recognizable as Two. Your Third comes over as more a comical than a serious interpretation of Three, but that’s OK, it’s still clearly him. Your Fourth is the finest I’ve heard barring Jon Culshaw himself (and that’s no easy feat). Your Fifth isn’t close or even recognizable (though your Stotz makes up for it and anyway Five is a curiously challenging one - maybe toning down the ‘aristocratic’ inflection would help ‘cos although he has that ‘gentlemanly’ reputation and thusly seems as if he’d speak ‘posh’, he really didn’t to any major extent). Your Sixth is very, very good but occasionally misses a beat, but I would have regarded Six as a very difficult voice to master anyway so excellent work on that! Your Seventh is almost better suited to a Three (although your John / Jamaica is good). Again, a tricky one - try more Scottish ‘burr’, more casual irreverence and higher notes. Your Eighth is . . . odd but in a good way; it’s almost like an alternative version of Eight, but either way it’s still clearly him. Your ‘War’ is very good. Your Ninth is good, could do with some polish but it’s very impressive. Your Tenth is . . . you know, I’m honestly not sure! Your Eleventh is like your Second - you nail the cadences but the quality isn’t quite there yet. Your Twelfth is alright but if it doubled as a Billy Connelly it’d get extra points! Your Thirteenth was unpredictably, surprisingly - _worryingly??_ - excellent. ALL of them were highly, highly amusing! Overall, excellent work mate! - _can’t wait to see more from you ! ! !_
Incredible. After a fair rewatch, that was just incredible. Thank you for sharing. I thought for three seconds I had a fair criticism and then I said nope. I totally agree with this choice. *chefskiss* 👌
@@ftumschk Yeah it's by far the best Colin Baker impersonation i've heard. Though to be fair, he's one of the only ones i've seen even attempt it. Let alone get that close.
Ill admit I had this on in the background and I thought all the impressions were great.. until war doctor... I legit thought you just started playing some audio from him, that was fantastic!
Hold on… first of all. You did an AMAZING job on the classic who. This is coming from a whovian who is coy about her classic who experience. 😏 Second of all, I didn’t even finish the video yet but I already know you did them justice. Well done, brilliant, alon-zy, Geronimo, WHO DA MAN!?😂🤔🫣
Well played, Jeremy. As a professional voice actor, the trick is to make definite differences between each character. Your Colin Baker was great. All the best.
14 was surprisingly good given the scarcity of the source material! 10 would probably be improved by doing more of his drawn out vocal fry. "Weeelll", that kind of thing. Overall great, it's obvious how much affection you have for Doctor Who.
Very nice indeed, I think you nailed most of them the weekest being in my opinion was Peter Davison but I would say that's quite a tricky one to replicate because he has no voice of any real notability if you know what I mean he sounded like a million other people. Very well done though 👍🏻
Maybe it's because I'm such a fan or I'm so used to hearing their voices but 6,10 and 11 sounded slightly off. I feel like Colin in particular was such a bold speaker that it's kind of impossible to get it dead on without just speaking in your authentic voice.
Fellow impressionist here- these are FANTASTIC. 4, 6, and War are particular standouts, and that's coming from someone who prides himself on a good John Hurt.
Only real suggestion I have would be to work on your 3 a bit- it sounds a lot like Jon Culshaw's Pertwee impression, but not quite like Pertwee himself.
Brilliant. Particularly like the 13th as you've got her accent down very well. 7th Doctor is very hard to master. Lots of rolled 'R's and over-the-top mouth movements but it was still pretty good. 4th Doctor is my favourite (and is really 'my' Doctor).
I think you did well with the classic Doctors. My advice for all the modern Doctors is to make their voices less deep. That was the recurring element I noticed; they were all just an octave or two lower than their actual voices. When it comes to Thirteen, though, that can’t be helped lol.
I tried this once...mum came in and said I don't know who any of those voice were but the fourth one sounded like Anne Widdecombe, the ninth one sounded like Brian blessed and the last one sounded like Victoria wood...i don't know how I fucked up so badly.
Well You're absolutely enjoying it the right amount 👌best part was the Caves of Andozani, because despite how dramatic a scene it is, it's so damn fun.
My dear, dear boy! What an effort! Yes . . erm . . . a little more work and you may indeed pull it off! Might I suggest thought, that you practice making your voice deeper? It actually helps if you can sing operatically because you have too much head voice for most of the Doctors and not enough support from within the chest. There you are weaker and it needs developing. Good emotion on Thirteen. The pre-regeneration scene with Yaz did actually manage to bring tears to the eyes. Something that Jodie herself fell short of accomplishing.
