eChipmunks

If I am going to a agent do I write on my resume and tell them I could do the Alvin Chipmunk voice really well?

Would that like an agent like me or should I not bring it up? I am just curious cause if I ever see an agent and they would like it I would like to know. I know its kinda weird but oh well lol. Any advice is needed :]

1. Absolutely not - why would they need to know that? If you can do lots of voices, say that you're a good mimic. What use is someone who can imitate a voice they won't ever get to use - and one so limiting? I can just see an agent rubbing their hands with glee and saying "Excellent - they're looking for a Chipmunk voice at the RSC (substitute any job)"...
2. Funny voices are a great advantage to score and acting job. If on your resume you have a special tools/ talents section, put it there. Your agent will most likely take it as a professional comment. In today's modern world, our sad-excuses-of-art- movies need funny voices to make people laugh, or make a "good" story. Basically, just tell them. Your chances of getting a job will become higher.
3. I'm a very good impersonator and I put on my resume under 'special skills' that I do impersonations, but I don't list every impersonation I can do (mainly because I'd need more paper), but agents don't need to know every impersonation you do. It may not be worth even listing impersonations if you can only do one either (it'll be a bit embarrassing if they want to see what impersonations you can do, and if all you got is Alvin...) So either don't list impersonations at all or practice some more. All the best, Tom :-)
