without a doubt he's a good mimic, but I'm not so sure that's the whole enchilada. The other clip that spanned a variety of genre seemed more obvious in the use of such things as gender tweaking and fattening up (or thinning out) certain frequencies to achieve the unique sound of the different vocalists. Things like length of vocal chords or shape of the sinus cavity can't be behaviorally imitated the way vowel sounds and inflections can.

I'd guess that by now hardware and software vocal processors must be able to morph the more subtle variables that affect the sound of a voice
