Wow. I was excited to hear Queen Victoria's voice. I didn't know a voice recording of her existed. I wish there was voice recording when Lincoln was President. I would like to hear his voice.
You might be disappointed. Lincoln had a country accent and contemporaries described his voice as soft, almost "girlish" when speaking normally and when giving speech Lincoln could be shrill.
I heard that Twain/Clemens tried recording his actual voice a few times, but didn't like how it sounded. The neighbor at least sounded fairly true instead of the cartoonish southern accent too many actors have used in portraying him in film/ tv.
4:40 That transition from the very peculiar voice of Einstein talking about science and communication to spinning manly man with a confident smile saying with his deep voice "A M E R I C A" killed me on the spot
Unfortunately, due to the physical limitations of early analogue recordings, we are hearing these legends from the past not quite as they spoke in conversation with their contemporaries but how they had to SHOUT into the phonograph's horn receiver so that the stylus would make an impression into the wax cylinder. Only with the introduction of electric recording and amplification in the late-1920s could the human voice be faithfully reproduced with all its nuances.
For those of you struggling to decipher what Queen Vic is saying, historians believe she is making reference to her Golden Jubilee, which took place the year before the recording was made, in 1887; 'Britons, restless for their Queen to speak. Let me answer if can be. We all had a wonderful festival, and I have never forgotten' I think the recording cut off part way through her speech cos it doesn't make much sense but she was probably going to say she had never forgotten her people (in reference to her seclusion in the wake of Prince Albert's death, which caused a lot a political and public unrest at the time)
@@thephantomoftheparadise5666 Yeah, I was trying to make out the whirring noise in the background, but I couldn't hear with the blooming queen's incessant chatter.
Florence was probably trying to protect herself in that phonograph recording, as some smart people of the era, as well as other Crimean war soldiers were treated by the legitimately effective treatment of a Jamaican nurse, whom's ideas Florence nightingale stole without permission.

There are 2 possibilities in my eyes: 1. They didn't sound like this, it's made up by the guy who created this video. 2. They did sound like this but it's the same reason people from the 1900s couldn't hear how old they sounded. In 100 years people will speak different than us too.
A lot of it has to do with how people perceived 'proper' speaking at the time. In North America, most public or formal speaking utilized what became known as the Transatlantic accent, while in Britain what we now know as Recieved Pronunciation was the equivalent. They were in fact mostly fabricated ways of speaking for use in public, simply because that's what people had been taught was 'Good English'.
I guess most people didn't read the caption on the Twain part. IT WAS TWAIN'S NEIGHBOR doing an impression of Twain. There is no known voice recording of Mark Twain.
The cool stuff you can find on RUclips, I swear. I have always wished they had recording devices back in 1776. I would love to hear each president speak. Now since every thing and every one is being recorded constantly, it's not as exciting as it once was. And I love the scratchy quality of the older stuff. Makes it seem more mysterious somehow.
Daniel Calderon I would love to hear his voice, especially since it is said his voice was actually quite high-pitched, or shrill, which surprised almost everybody who heard him for the first time back then, given his imposing stature.

Even though it does say this there were the means of recording voices far earlier than Twain's time now the ability to play these recordings didn't come out until pretty much the invention of the record player but I believe the earliest recording was from the early 1800's or earlier and they used paper to record the voices and after using laser imaging they could hear a woman humming a song
Grover Cleveland it's not him but probably pioneer recording artist Len Spencer who did many resitations and was imitating him Cleveland made a recording but it hasn't survived.
jeff nepomuceno as scratches on paper. Much like a seismograph would. It wasn't anything that could be played back, like Edison's machine. The sound you hear is the paper scanned onto a computer image and the highs and lows mapped for software specifically written to simulate the sound. Then a synthesizer plays the sounds. We don't know what they really sounded like, but they do know the words sung into the device.

Now since every thing and every one is being recorded constantly, it's not as exciting as it once was. And I love the scratchy quality of the older stuff. Makes it seem more mysterious somehow.
I wish they had photography then too.
Carol Lambies at least they had paintings so we can get an idea of what it was like
Paula Harris Baca if you want there's a video showing the presidents voices from like the 1870s- now
1776!!?? Even a light wasn't invented yet!
But there were no presidents in 1776. Or are you America-centric without context?
2:23 his mic quality was cleaner than my Discord group
8:10 The recording makes Martinville sound like a trombone, due to the age of it. That's so creepy
How do you know he didn't sound like that when alive?
Albert Einstein's voice gave me +150 IQ
Was expecting you to be here
@@catto1752 nice
He sounds like one of my German professors who is from Germany. Not only scholarly but that distinguished, recognizable German accent.
It will be interesting to hear Abraham Lincoln's voice
Here ya go: ruclips.net/video/0XSrzTBHL58/видео.html
Sun of a gun. He said Lincoln’s voice, not JFK’s voice!
Joseph Philips *cries in James Garfield*
I was waiting for Marie Antoinette' voice
Daniel Calderon I would love to hear his voice, especially since it is said his voice was actually quite high-pitched, or shrill, which surprised almost everybody who heard him for the first time back then, given his imposing stature.
the voices of people born in early 1800s
breathtaking
The poem at 2:25 by William Butler Yeats was "The Lake Isle of Innisfree"
I am a Yeats and his voice made my heart race.
Based in Sligo!
@@stephenryan7855 Yes! my mother has been to the Yeats house in Sligo, I had hoped to go someday myself.
@@deborah3250 Cool what house exactly, there is a few buildings in Sligo he is associated with?
I remember learning about this in my old school in Ireland!
Einstein's voice was the only one that didn't hurt to listen too.
Cause he knew the science to it ;)
And Yeats
Albert Einstein sounds like every college professor
Mark Twain sounds like Bane in the Dark Knight.
@@tensae4725 That wasn't his real voice...
Queen Victoria: I have never forgotten
Me: Yes, you are never forgotten
@Wilhelm von Preuben lol, I never noticed that
@Wilhelm von Preuben is that a fart?
@Wilhelm von Preuben 😭lol
Mark Twain’s voice is just scaring me
Why does everyone sound how they look??
Nameless Person are you sure about that? The last one did not sound how he look- 😂😂😂
It’s not Mark
Twain, it was someone impersonating how he spoke.
I dont recall that last man lookin´ like a swarm of bees
Because voice suit with their face
Because voice suit with their face
*Translated* 8:05
1859:
“The incredible crea- of, energy, time-
In pose we here- Horrid.”
“I commend- diff- pluripot- in-eli de moü.”
Darell Serrano holy sh- how
bruh how you did that😲😲😲😲???!!!+
He is spitting facts
@Alex Lee actually, de Martinville made Clair de lune a year later, this is a different recording
he is speaking french not english
The Thomas Edison was was chilling! He was laughing
LAUGHING IS SO SPOOKY
Yeah cause he stole everything he claimed he made and still got to be in the history books
Was just going to write something similar, i come from the north of England, the inventor of the light bulb lived there, his house in Gateshead was the first lit by Electricity, Joseph Swan. Ediswan was their company
@@starkillerdude1914 Who did he steal the phonograph from? (the thing he presumably used to record his voice with in this video)
I think the first this he said was shut the fuck up
Hearing the voices of these historic people such as Queen Victoria and Florence Nightingale is like a time machine. Awesome!!!
I made the mistake of listening to this alone at night. Creeeeepy.
Same...At 2 am
I made the same mistake too
nobody:
This guy: 24rd
"Nabour"
Underrated comment 😂😂
I went straight to the comments to see if anyone else caught ut
It says 23rd lol, its correct
green l0rd um
I didn't know Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville was actually a bumblebee.

This needs more likes.
You spelt Yeats wrong on W.B Yeats
Twain died in 1910. This is someone imitating him decades later.
Ann Etheridge wax cylinders invented in 1880s
That's what it says in the upper right corner
Even though it does say this there were the means of recording voices far earlier than Twain's time now the ability to play these recordings didn't come out until pretty much the invention of the record player but I believe the earliest recording was from the early 1800's or earlier and they used paper to record the voices and after using laser imaging they could hear a woman humming a song
It literally said that
Thanks for letting the blind people know.
4:16 .. albert einstein's voice was incredibly clear !!
Adel Wendy he lived into the 50s
Im more impressed with the british politician
In fairness there are many recordings of Einstein.
A
Grover Cleveland it's not him but probably pioneer recording artist Len Spencer who did many resitations and was imitating him Cleveland made a recording but it hasn't survived.
It's more like the guy before him
Amazing recordings from such a long while in the past of amazing people.
The one at the end sounds like he’s farting constantly
so hot
Imaoo
Turns out. That guy made the first ever audio recording.
jeff nepomuceno as scratches on paper. Much like a seismograph would. It wasn't anything that could be played back, like Edison's machine. The sound you hear is the paper scanned onto a computer image and the highs and lows mapped for software specifically written to simulate the sound. Then a synthesizer plays the sounds. We don't know what they really sounded like, but they do know the words sung into the device.
Or a trumpet
5:51 It seems Amazing to have a recording of Queen Victoria
Seems like she liked motor bikes
IKR? I’m kinda shook. A few years ago I had a class assignment to make a short film on her, wish I knew about it then, would have loved to include he actual voice over the credits or something.
I wish I had the talent to clean up the audio so it'd be easier to follow
It was barely there to hear .
Am I the only person that thinks that Mark Twain sounds a little like Bane from The Dark Knight Rises?
BitchinRedBarchetta86 He's a big guy.
It's not him though it's someone else talking like him.
Yes!
Clorotch for you
Perfect! Ha
nobody:
me tryin to learn trumpet : 8:05
Lool
😂👍
florence nightangle her voice sound so soothing like a mother cuddiling her child
Yeah especially when she went *andEE*
Night angle
I mean, she was a nurse, so her voice kinda HAD to sound comforting and gentle.
@@nek0mancer_uwu she looks pretty too
Uh,, did you mean #Tangled
why did i expect that voice from albert einstien and he has a lisp
@Baba Koy I think it is more his strong German accent, than a real lisp🤔
German accent not a lisp
He sounds like my Spanish grandma
Cuz he was Gay for science 🤔🤣
Peoples mic's whenever you play an online game-
Albert Einstein’s voice is so CUTE i’m sobbing it’s 3:30am
bruuh
William Butler Yeats' recording sounds better than some people on RUclips right now...
Kiabeta I agree
He looks like he could be related to Steve Martin.
He was on a train I think
Yep
7:43 Sounds like my coworker calling in sick, who has AT&T
8:04 When flies fly through
@@augustfriday6961 😂😂
@@augustfriday6961 😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's actually background noise because this recording was made on tinfoil
And tinfoil is not a sturdy recording material
Benjamin Harrison’s Recording: Furf furh fur fuh fuh furh
Me: Wow I’m learning so much
It's so interesting to see how speech and accents have changed over the years.
This could be a great research topic 😮
Albert Einstein’s voice is SO CUTE THO omgbsjsnfbsmd
No one:
Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville: speaking bee
Overused meme and needs to be dead
VenomousZebr No-one cares what you think.
@@fluffypuppers8515 i care
I saw this and thought of the bee movie.. THINKING BEE!
Albert Einstein sounds exactly how I imagined
I feel like Yeats is about to strike me down with a powerful magic spell.
He's gonna yeat you on the floor
Édouard-Leon Scott de Martinsville is just straight up farting
its just bz
YOU DIRTY BASTARD
BITCH NO
He sounds like every single adult in peanuts.
BijBoi yea cuz was the first ever voice recording
8:11 wasp entered the chat
LOL
"We need more honey for the queen, she knows the wae."
It sound like a fart
Simious Genious It gives me the shivers listening to that. Lol
It's always fascinating to hear the actual voices of historical figures we only see in textbooks
8:06 My boy spitting some truth right there
@Wilhelm von Preußen hey it still works
