How to Do a Morgan Freeman Impression: Tips and Tricks

Welcome back to another impressions tutorial! In this article, we will be discussing how to do a Morgan Freeman impression. If You haven't seen the first two videos in this series, make sure you check them out first as they will be referenced in this article. We will be giving you some tips and Hints on how to go about doing a Morgan Freeman impression, and we will also be doing a specific case study using Morgan Freeman as an example on how to complete an impression.

Getting Started with Morgan Freeman Impression

There are two videos that we recommend you use in order to learn a Morgan Freeman impression. First, for getting started, we recommend the Joshua Robert Thompson car impressions real video. The way it goes from wall to wall, this is the first Morgan Freeman impression I ever heard, and it inspired me to start doing impressions entirely all the way back in 2011. It's great because it has original dialogue, it's funny, and it really captures that Morgan Freeman rating mode.

Another resource we recommend is a motivational video that someone has cut together. We'll include a link in the description. It includes a variation of quotes from films, the Invictus poem, and different things that Morgan Freeman has said in interviews. It's just a great resource for all the different modes that you can adopt with the Morgan Freeman voice, which we'll go further on later.

Developing a Caricature Shawshank Style Narration

First, we're going to give you some pointers on how to develop from the beginning a caricature Shawshank style narration Morgan Freeman. Morgan Freeman has a really high-pitched voice, but he also has a very deep resonant voice. A lot of people ask how they can make their voice deeper, and the secret is to concentrate your energy on the vagus nerve. That way, you can vibrate the mucous membrane or vocal cords, modulating the flow of air coming up through the lungs during phonation. Obviously, that was a joke. In truth, there's no shortcut or easy answer to getting a deeper voice. All we can say is to try tilting your head down as you're speaking and really focus on your energy to try and get the noise to come from the lowering your throat and almost your chest area.

As we pointed out in the first video, our voice wasn't always this deep. It's something that comes very slowly with practice. Every time you practice, it will increase your range just a little bit. Apparently, yawning helps as well, and eventually, children more nothing wrong berries Blue skies. It's a paradigm most deep voices have that sort of croaky quality to it, but the croaking nurse is something that really defines the Morgan Freeman voice. Once you start reaching that depth, the croaking nurse will come naturally, but also try and constrict your throat as you're making the noise.

Morgan Freeman was born in Memphis, Tennessee, so he has that southern American accent and tends to use those typical southern terms of phrases that certain Americans use all day every day. In America, they just use those phrases consistently for every sentence. Due to our English accent, the one place where our Morgan Freeman impression tends to fall down is the American accent. For any non-Americans watching this, here are a couple of words that over the years we have learned to correct: instead of "direct," say "d'rect"; instead of "mobile," say "mo-bile"; instead of "aluminum," say "al-u-min-i-um." We gotta go directly to them, and the mobile aluminum factory. That's afraid you'll be using a lot. Generally, in England, we use the longer version of the Vowel like "I" or "Oh." In America, they tend to use the shorter version.

When you start out, the best thing to do is to go for that Shawshank Narrator style because it's the most iconic. Here are a few starter phrases that we recommend:

• "And the do friend, and you do Frank."
• "Damn near worn down to the nub."
• "Hip is a living or get busy dyin'."
• "That's goddamn right."
• "This is a man I got criticized for a lot when I started out doing Morgan Freeman."

One thing we've done to achieve a more subtle and accurate version of Morgan Freeman's lisp is to just purse our lips a little bit in words. Like we said before, it's okay to overdo these things in the beginning because it's easier to pick up. Once you've got the hang of it, you can dial it back afterwards. It's a slow measured voice when narrating. It flows with peaks and troughs and a calm destruction. "Prison, in 1947, and I submit, I don't think that commanding. The first time I laid eyes on him, he looked like a stiff breeze will blow over. That was my first impression." When acting or conversational, it's a lot more jumpy with very deliberate pauses for thought.

Tips for Achieving a Deeper Voice

As we Mentioned earlier, there's no easy answer to getting a deeper voice. However, there are a few tips that might help. First, try tilting your head down as you're speaking. Second, focus your energy on your throat and chest area. Third, try yawning. Fourth, practice regularly. Over time, your voice will naturally Deepen.
