funny voices

Silly character sounds

Funny voices are exaggerated or altered ways of speaking meant to amuse—impersonations, cartoon character imitations, silly accents, or distorted pitches.

Parents use them to entertain children; comedians use them for impressions.

The skill of doing funny voices ranges from amateur goofiness to professional voice acting: He kept the kids laughing with his funny voices.
