“The Top”: featuring Impressionist STEVE VAN ZANDT

You've always heard your mother say it's important to make a good impression.  I guess this guy listened very well,  because he's incredible at it! I'm talking about comic impressionist  Steve Van Zandt from the Albany, NY area (no, NOT the guy from the Sopranos, although spelled the same way.  I bet he could nail that impression as well!)

I had a blast talking and reminiscing with Steve.  Whether you are from the area or not, you will love this episode.  We have a few local references, but nothing that will throw you off!  

Steve's website, btw is www.stevevanzandt.com.  He's got a phenomenal new business idea brewing that we all should keep tabs on.  It's a KILLER concept.  He mentions it toward the end of the podcast.  

Other things we cover include:

His method of learning a voice

The impression he never gets tired of doing,

What it would be like if Jimmy Stewart was a track announcer at Saratoga (whoops - local reference-- you see, that's a place in our area that has horses and people bet on them to see how fast they can run in a circle)

 

… PLUS if you act NOW,  you'll get a hysterical sampling of other dead on voice characterizations ( and that includes POTUS, OF COURSE!)

I hope you enjoy this, and if so, please share so we can grow this little show together.  By all means, SUBSCRIBE as well so you will get a heads up when new episodes publish.  

 

My website, by the way if you are interested in entertainment for your next function (DJing, live keyboards for cocktail hour, a stand-up song parody routine, customized song for somerone in the audience.... your choice)  is www.hirerichie.com .  

Note:  I have decided to get this to a point where I'm doing it every OTHER week. Being that I am a staff of one,  It will give me a chance to get more guests, promote the episodes more, have more time to write a topical song of the week,  and basically give you a break from me bugging you constantly to tune in! Hope that works for you!   

See you next time as I keep trying and never stop until I ........TAKE IT TO THE TOP!
