110 Impressions in 9 minutes by David Howard Thornton
Ойын-сауық
Hello! My name is David Thornton and I am an aspiring voice over actor in NYC with a few animated projects under my belt. I have a repertoire of well over 200 character impressions and 25 dialects that is ever expanding. I thought I would share some of those with you all, so I narrowed them down to 110 impressions of various cartoon characters and celebrities. Why? Because I like to go one step further (plus it was almost the end of 2010 when this was recorded and I thought that was fitting as well... but I digress!). I attempted to do this rapid fire hence why some are not as spot on as the usually are, though there are some edits since this was done in 2 takes because of various interruptions during the filming.
If you would like to utilize my talents, feel free to contact me at david_thornton79@yahoo.com! Feel free to pass this along to anyone you feel would be interested in utilizing my talents as well! Anyway, I hope you all enjoy and thanks for listening!

Your portrait of Art The Clown was simply epic. Stunning performance and I really enjoyed the movie. Art will be up there with Leatherface, Michael, Freddy and Jason. No doubt.

David Thornton: A voice actor Art the clown: doesnt speek (very good acting btw)
I can’t reconcile with the fact that your greatest asset is your voice, yet you became a legendary icon who is a mime. That’s insane and speaks to how multifaceted your talent is. Keep it up man!!!
Watched "Terrifier" last night. Quite a brutal watch, even for this lifelong horror buff, but I have to commend you on such an outstanding performance. You made dozens of bold and fabulous choices in your physicality and facial expressions, it was a pleasure to watch you work. Can't wait to see what's next!

I agree. I have watched horror my whole life and that movie really bothered me. Probably because so money people who seemed pretty decent died in really horrible ways (I wonder if they might have survived following Zombieland rule #2 Double Tap) and because (courtesy spoiler warning for those who haven't seen it) basically the villain won in the end. That doesn't necessarily always bother me, but in this case it really did for some reason. I also kind felt maybe the supernatural angle came out of nowhere. Personal feelings aside, well done on being one of the creepiest clowns I have ever seen anywhere at any time. I love clowns and unlike most am not in any way inherently frightened of them even when they are creepy/evil, (Big lifelong Joker) but if I met that one I'd be terrified.

How is art the clown silent with this much talent?
Oh My God. Art the clown has a KZread channel 😂😂😂 I LOVE THIS!
watching this after Terrifier 2 came out is the best thing
Your performance as Art the Clown is one of my favorite performances of all time in any movie. I haven't felt so hypnotized by watching someone act since Heath Ledger playing the Joker. Congratulations!
Cannot wait for Terrifer 3! You are a very talented man! 👏 you put the ART in Artist...no pun intended 😂
that clown in "terrifier" was so damn creepy, i actually had nightmares after watching it last night. and im someone who's been saying for years that i don't find scary movies scary. i can count on one hand what scary movies i find scary: the conjuring, 1408, and now terrifier. the whole scene where art the clown gets the motherly hug from that crazy woman and he starts sucking on his thumb, it just shows how much mental issues he has and that he has a lot of hate and pain in his heart. i would love to see a sequel to the terrifier, maybe more backstory on art the clown and how he got to be this way.

I find it so interesting how a skilled impressionist and voice delivery actor could also be so chilling and enthralling as a completely silent character like Art the clown. Great work!
This video is 100x funnier when you remember the character he’s most famous for playing doesn’t talk
Anyways did a great job voicing a lot of characters maybe one day in the future you become a great voice actor! Keep it up, David!
You are a genuinely fun guy lol 😂 loved you as art man! Can’t wait to see you get back in the saddle for part 2.
So I just watched Terrifier and you were so scary!! It's amazing to me that you were such a force of fear, but you didn't make a sound. I think that's what got me the most *besides that terrifying grin* Well done!!
Hi David. You are quickly becoming a 'keep an eye on me' rising character actor. I love your artistic choices with Art the Clown. Your nuanced portrayal and facial expressions left a lot to unravel and your eyes acted out your back story in a way that left me hungry for more. I put you on my top three psychological performances of the year alongside James McAvoy in SPLIT and with Bill Skaarsgaard in IT. Just like them you are brave and talented enough to reach the darkest of places. I can't wait to see more from you as Art a you cement yourself up there with the greatest of horror icons :)

Like the impressions! No wonder they chose you to play Art! Looking forward to a sequel. I think you're on your way, if not there already, to being a cult classic.
If Art could talk, his laugh would probably sound a lot like your Elmo impression haha. But your movie's on Netflix and I absolutely loved it! People were right when they said you made Pennywise look childish. Can't wait to see what's in store next!
Terrifier is now my number 1 movie.
Haha dude I love impressions as much as I love Horror movies. You’re so adorable. Art the clown is my newest obsession. Your performance is epic dude!

Hey mate - just seen the trailer for Terrifier 2 and we can't wait to see it over here!! Loved the first one, I've waited years for someone to come along and truly master a proper terrifying clown in a movie....you sir are that man...clown...nutcase....thing. Anyway, I know the creator is contemplating a 3rd instalment to make it a trilogy, awesome idea....we don't want to know too much about Arts back story as it takes away the mystique he brings. So, keep up the great work my man!! Sending best wishes from your ever-growing fanbase over in Scotland UK
its me from insta, subbed here to just to see more of your content and not disappointed, this was amazing and hilarious
Hi david! I think you played art perfectly in terrifier and I'm so excited for terrifier 2. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the feedback! I agree with you that some are not as perfect as I wish. A lot of that stems from doing each voice back to back in rapid succession (plus I had just gotten over having a case of bronchitis and only had 1 day left on the road to record this). Maybe one day, I will make a newer one and take more time with each voice.
Ok, I'm glad we looked you up on You Tube because now Art won't give me nightmares. My daughter and I are watching Terrifier (her choice of movie) your fantastic!!
That is absolutely impressing how you can change your voices into so maney characters that quick I love them especially in terrifier and terrifier 2 you were so stunning and definitely gave me sevral scares throughout the movie one of the best movies I've seen❤
You are so amazing!!!
Arttttttttttt! Great great job sir. Well done. Look forward to seeing the next installment and hopefully dive deeper into Arts back story. I'm wondering if Art is tied in some way to the building he does most of his torture in, or the crazy lady carrying the creepy baby doll....perhaps Art is linked to the doll and that this lady is or was is mom.

David Tornton is to Art the Clown as Robert Englund is to Freddy Kreuger. David played Art so convincingly. I tend to stay away from slasher movies, I'm more of a supernatural horror viewer, but it was something alluring about the trailer that made me watch both All Hallows Eve and Terrifier.
Out of curiosity, because I'm a nerd when it comes to acting and preparation: when you're faced with an enigmatic character like Art, do you prepare a backstory that helps justify/inform your performance, or do you give yourself up to the requirements of the script and not think too much about the "why"?

I watched Terrifier and I dont like horrors. But i couldn't help but notice that the actor impersonating the killer clown was a top class actor, mime, with incredible mimicry and phisicity notwithstanding heavy make up. Had this guy been born 15/20 years earlier he would have been a Jim Carrey or even more. Bad years for truly talented people. In every industry.
Art the clown was creepiest when in the pizza parlor.. Good job
David just amazing!
Finally finding your KZread these are great!!
Fantastic!
Wow, this is great! For a few reasons...first of all the myriad of great impressions. Secondly, because this is apparently filmed near or around when you were trying to get started in doing voice actor work, and now you're doing it for real! And it's quite ironic that your breakthrough role is a non-speaking clown lol. It's inspiring how far you've come in just ten years!
Love this I do impersonations as well and loved you in terrifier they would be crazy not to put u in the sequel David u kicked ass in it this Texas fan loved it 🤘
