There are quite a few more phases, but we'll get to that later. Here's how to become a Madonna impersonator--no matter what Madonna phase you want to copy.

Research. Get to know everything there is to know about Madonna. To impersonate her, you must be familiar with every phase of her career, every song and every look. Get started with her compilations CDs like "The Immaculate Collection" and "GHV2." These albums will get you up to date on her various sounds.

Look in the mirror and determine if there's anything about you that remotely looks like Madonna. Hair color is easy to change, but if you are a burly guy, you might have a challenge ahead. Look into wigs and wardrobe--both can be had for cheap at thrift stores.

Look at some other Madonna impersonators. If possible, watch their acts. Many have videos online that you can watch. Determine whether you want to go for a campy, funny impersonation or if you want to have a serious take at Madge.

Incorporate Madonna into your daily life. Start dressing, singing or talking like Madonna. This will help you live the role of the material girl and become more like her. Start working on your fake British accent as soon as possible.

Practice singing her songs. Madonna is an average singer at best, so if you should have absolutely no problem lip synching to her music.

Start with one look and go from there. You might stick with the '80s look for starters and then gradually impersonate other phases of Madonna's career.
