In this study, we investigated acoustic characteristics of imitated utterances by a professional voice imitator, focusing on prosodic properties such as vowel formants and f0 distribution. To see the patterns of a voice imitation by a professional voice imitator, we compared the imitator's voice data with target speakers' voice data. The professional imitator, Mr. Bae produced utterances imitating the former President Kim's, the comedian Choi's, and the singer Bae's voices. Auditorily, the imitator was judged to imitate all the target speakers' voices successfully. However, acoustic examination showed that the imitator was better at imitating the singer Bae's voice in that the imitator's and the singer Bae's voices are more alike with respect to vowel formants and f0 distribution. We infer this is because the imitator's normal voice is very similar to the singer Bae's voice. On the other hand, the imitator's voice data showed that the patterns of vowel formants and f0 distribution found in the imitator's imitation voices of the other two target speakers were different from those of target speakers' voices.

During the Chosun(조선) and Ming(명) Dynasty, embroidered patches called hyoong bae(흉배), were worn on the front and back of official robes worn by courtiers based on class distinction. It was discovered in Jip Sah(Genghis Khan's history books) that the miniatures, patterns used in the Won(원) Period, were passed down to the Ming Dynasty in the $14^{th}$ century. Shape patterns included circles, triangles, squares, and ovals. Other patterns included dragons, deer, leaves, and branches. However it was found that there was no class distinction in wearing these patches. Out of 14 different miniatur, 41 men had worn these patches.
