Guy needs to work on 2 or 3 voices and master them he is spreading himself thin here, and his comedy is weak. Its not just being able to do the impression ,they have to be funny as well or he will never be recognized,hes no where near a Rich little status.

Seems he started this as a hobby but since getting some attention/jobs so he'll probably hone the other elements. I thought his DeNiro was weak but most his commenters liked it. Not sure if he's gonna go comedy as Carrey did.

What impressed me is pulling out the Pat Buttram and Garrison Keillor, who does that? :)

I wont insult the guy - all I'll say is that calling him the next Mel Blanc shows how little you understand about how accomplished Blanc was.

Blanc worked as a voice actor how long? Of course he was accomplished. No news there.

Blanc is the standard voice actors would be compared to. Here's Blanc talking about how he created some of his famous character voices.

I dont get the Mel blanc reference at all , mel blanc created voices and sounds and he was a comedian, this kid isnt creating voices he is copying them and his comedy is non existant. He is an impressionist more than anything thats why i think he would be more compared to Rich little(but Little and blanc are far better than this kid)

This guy's in no way even close to the talent of Blanc. Not even close.

I don't know that we'll see a "next Mel Blanc" unfortunately.
