It looks like our Darren Altman made it onto Britain's Got Talent and did a killer job with his impressions. You'd have to be a resident Brit to catch all of the inside jokes but judging by the judges, he was brill!!

Way to go Darren!

Darren, brilliant!!!! I haven't a clue who you were doing, and it didn't matter. Your stage presence, your timing, your charm, etc., you just owned that stage! The standing ovation from the judges and audience was earned! So impressed!!! Can't wait for more! Bravo!!! B |

brilliant work and courageous. I mean he knows he's good because he does it for a living, but stepping on that type of platform is a far cry from your normal vo studio/booth.
I loved the way that he sort of instructed the audience on the process.
thanks for sharing. |

Will...you should be able to see it on the Britain's Got Talent website if you are in the UK, no?

Bravo! I Echo what Bob said. Didn't know who the characters were, but it didn't make any difference. Your Showmanship was outstanding, and getting all four judges to give you a standing ovation says it all. Kudos to you! Extremely impressive! _________________ Scott R. Pollak

Anything I could say after that would be meaningless. Congratulations Darren!!! _________________ Never do anything you wouldn't want to explain to the Paramedics
