In the bachelor's thesis, we focused on the prosodic analysis of an interview with Janez Janša for Nova24TV, recorded in 2017. We also analysed two impersonations of the said speaker by Sašo Hribar for the Radio Ga Ga radio show, both recorded in 2020. To understand which characteristics of the original speech the impersonator chose to impersonate, and to which degree the imitator tries and succeeds in imitating the speech of the chosen speaker, we analysed the number of pauses using the program Praat. Continuing, we conducted a comparative analysis of speech rate and articulation rate. We then proceeded with the analysis of the F0 formant to indicate the voice pitch. Taking the values of the F3 and F4 formants, which indicate the openness of the oral cavity, into account, we attempted to compare how well the imitator copied the timbre of the original speaker.
