Chris Kendall

Chris Kendall is a favorite on YouTube for me. He made his channel years ago because he was bored and called it Crabstickz because he likes crabsticks and put a 'zed' on the end, he says. He has over 540,000 subscribers to date. He lives in London and is friends with Dan and Phil and PJ, the friendship dubbed "the fantastic foursome."  Chris has got a bit of humor; he's a really funny guy. He does sketches and impressions and vlogs on his channel.

Chris' most popular video has over 1.7 million views. It's his '41 Accents' video and deserves every view because Chris really has a huge talent for accents and impressions. He has lent his voice out for other videos on youtube for cartoons and I could definitely see him having a terrific career as a voice actor or even teacher. His second most popular video is another one like this, 'Internet Animal Impressions.'

Character Becca Hodgekins

Chris has made a lot of sketches and so has made a lot of characters for them. He loves acting and goes all out for these characters, many recurring and becoming classics like his Spanish 'Chrios Kendallas' and Mexican 'Enrique' and most recently, the fangirl 'Becca Hodgekins.' 'Fangirls,' the video in which Chris created Becca is probably my very favorite; it's hilariously accurate in describing fangirls.  Becca seems like her own person with the blonde wig, black glasses, and purple hoodie Chris always dons for her. He gives her a specific voice and her personality is amazingly constant. Chris even let this alter ego come out on stage at his performance at Summer in the City, an annual YouTube gathering in London.

Chris has done work for BBC Three, acting in comedy sketches and even appearing in a tv show called 'Some Girls'. Here is a BBC 3 music video [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sgl25IadVPk] and a Sherlock parody where Chris was Watson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24c5jeHGnsU. He has also been shooting videos with a YouTube channel called 'Bath Teeth'.
