impressionist
Voice and mannerism copier
An impressionist is someone who does impressions—mimicking the voice, mannerisms, and appearance of famous people for entertainment: The impressionist did a perfect Morgan Freeman.
The term also describes anyone influenced by or working in the style of Impressionism, though this sense usually takes a capital I. (Capitalized Impressionist refers to the art movement.)
