^ It's still not the same as being able to perfectly mimic a sound or being able to produce a sound that's phsycially impossible to make vocally.

^ This YTTW is for when a character (human or otherwise) is able to perfectly mimic a sound/voice that is either completely out of their vocal range or is biologically impossible to make in the first place.

For example, again, the shark in ''{{Jaws}}: The Revenge'' roars at one point in the film. Sharks are incapable of roaring since they lack vocal chords.

Likewise, again, Frank in Rocky Horror was able to perfectly mimic Brad's/Janet's voice. We're not talking a really good impression, he is able to sound 100% like them despite the fact that his vocal chords shouldn't be able to have THAT much range in his voice...even if he is an alien.

Michael Winslow is a subversion of this. Yes, he can sound very similar to various objects, but it's not 100% the same. Likewise, he does have limits to the sounds he can make with his voice. For one thing, he could never perfectly imitate Godzilla's roar, for example, because it's biologically impossible.
