There are alot of things you can do at this point. Getting an agent is one step, but you should really prepare yourself before you even call one. First of all you need to document all your voices in as much depth as you can. Make a list of all your impressions, and then determine how you can manipulate those voices (pitch and tone). Once you get confident about your voices then comprile all your talents onto a cd or tape in various textual contexts, (like reading the newspaper while doing a G.Bush impression). There is alot of preperation that needs to be done before you can hire an agent to manage your talent. First you have to at least make the demo tape, and get headshots done. Go from there, and your agent should help you find work. The only things you can do as an impressionist is voice overs for commercials/cartoons, or you can put your voices together into a standup comedy act. That's about it. Most people don't like to see the person doing the voice, so public performing is kinda limited. Good Luck

seriously, get yourself an agent. That is a great gift, and you could also get voiceover and commercial work.

you could be an actress many actresses have to pretend to have an accent

a good comedian.

Stand up impersonator comedian... however you've probably already thought of that.
Perhaps you could do voices for puppets & stuff.

It's a hobby. . . just have fun with it. . . .You should do charity work with it. Maybe visit a nursing home or hospital.

em you could do radio ads or the voices on tv ads oh and post a video on youtube that would be cool!

Contact theatrical agents - they will tell you if you are any good for voice-overs, etc.

Voice overs for commercials, cartoons and etc even saturday night live might be interested. look for entertainment voices or even comedians.

Some people make a lot of money doing it .. certain stage comics .. People love to hear a famous voice ! You should also read books on "throwing" your voice so you can add ventrilocisim (sp?) .. Good Luck with your bright future ! :)

Doesn't make you an actor. You could try being an impressionist. Get an act together using famous people's voices and contact your local tv station/radio station - try getting a gig at a local theatre who do variety.

That would be good for stand up comedy. You could go to some sort of club and make jokes about people and impersonate them. At least that's where you ould start off with.

If you were famous for impersonations, create a resume or find an agent. There could be lots of things you could do, but I can't think of some.

You could maybe try making an animated movie and providing your voice or something like that.
