One of the things that made Lincoln unique was his distinctive voice. Lincoln's voice was deep and gravelly, with a distinctive Kentucky accent. He was known for his ability to captivate audiences with his speeches, which were often delivered in a slow and measured manner. Despite his deep voice, Lincoln was not a particularly loud speaker, and he often spoke in a soft, conversational tone. Many people who heard Lincoln speak reported that his voice was both powerful and soothing, and that it had a calming effect on those who listened to him.
However, There are no known recordings of Abraham Lincoln's voice. The first audio recording technology, known as the phonograph, was not invented until after Lincoln's death in 1865. As a result, there are no recordings of Lincoln's voice, and all accounts of his speaking voice are based on the recollections of individuals who heard him speak.

@@adbc6740no one would care because your a random
Why, because you’re deliberately untruthful?
I hope the updated video corrects the errors in this video.
First time I've ever heard his voice described as deep
yes, it was high--this chap is wrong.
I always assumed it was, bcuz of how they depict him, it's deep but kind and soft
@@BradleyCooper2698 he was always described as having a high voice--
Hollywood made it lower, until the film Lincoln..
Because it's bullshit. I have no idea why someone would put out misinformation about Lincolns voice, but nothing surprises me anymore
Right?
I heard Lincoln's voice was a high pitched squeaky sounding voice, similar to Theodore Roosevelt's voice.
It does kinda surprising
All accounts say Lincoln had a high pitched voice . . .
Lincoln had a high pitched voice - Even as a young man - He had a commanding presence - Lincoln was often called upon to tell a story - That's what they had for entertainment back then - Lincoln was Postmaster in New Salem and he also ran the Lincoln and Berry store - Splitting logs - Surveying land - Lincoln was a superb storyteller - Also noted for telling stories while he rode the circuit practicing Law in Illinois - Lincoln was plagued by melancholy all his life - His Mother and Sister died relatively young - Father borderline abusive - Lincoln did not even attend his Father's funeral - Son Willie died at 11 - And Eddie died at 3 yrs of age - The Girl that Lincoln loved in New Salem = Ann Rutledge - Died at 22 - Lincoln said he told stories to offset his tendency to be sad or depressed . . .
And he spoke super fast, he delivered the Gettysburg address in just a couple minutes. These AI videos suck ****s.
@vagung TBF, that speech wasn't very long anyways.
I believe he had a high pitched voice from accounts. So which is it? Deep or high pitched?
I will look into this more. some reports are one way and some are the other, part 2 video coming soon.
That's what I have always read too.
I have read and watched many shows about Lincoln and have always heard he had a high pitch voice too.
If you can believe Hal Holbrook, one of his best imitators, he had an Orville Redenbacker type of voice. Just like George S. Patton.
We like to believe that they had deep voices, but often they did not.
Exactly 💯 CORRECT !
Daniel Day-Lewis did his research before playing Lincoln in the eponymous movie. Contemporaries wrote that Lincoln's voice was higher in pitch than was expected on meeting him
He did a fine job at mimicking voice of the documentaries that instilled my expectations, at an early age, of what Lincoln should sound like.
Sounds like Jordan Peterson who is made fun of for having a Kermit the frog voice
@jason200912 oh, not too much but yes, like Day-Lewis' Lincoln
Lincoln had the greatest speech writer in the World, himself
The whole Gettysburg address is so eloquent, short and sweet
Also part of the wrestling hall of fame
@@cereal-killer4455you should listen to his speech when he took the office of president. It’s a tear-jerker if you like American Civil War stuff.
I have heard he wrote the Gettysburg Address on an envelope on the train on the way there. He only spoke for a couple of minutes. Yet that speech is on a wall in DC, enshrined forever. Who remembers the previous speaker's two hour speech? No one. Lincoln's speech is etched in eternity.
This is untrue. An old man interviewed in the 1920s was a child attending the Gettysburg Address. He said that Lincoln's voice was high and squeaky but that the President was such a speaker that within a few moments of his beginning to address the crowd, everyone was enamoured and unconscious of his voice's tenor.
And then he picked up his axe and cut down a cherry tree like a true American patriot
I think DDL probably nailed his voice to a t.
The fact that he interviewed people born in the same area Lincoln was born is incredible attention to detail.
He's known for his research, so I agree with you about DDL.
So, he went to Bostic, North Carolina were his biological father, Abraham Enloe conceived him with his white adolescent servant girl, Nancy? Then, he went just over the border into Kentucky to Thomas Lincoln's neighborhood? Thos. Lincoln was a "friend" of Enloe, and in need of a wife, being recently widowed, and took the pregnant Nancy off Enloe's hands & to himself as a wife, being financially subsidized by Enloe for a few months to offset Nancy's bearing Enloe's offspring. BTW, those that wd dispute the veracity of these facts ought to look at a photos & contemporary descriptions of Enloe & Lincoln. Abraham Enloe had little schooling but, was very quick-witted, also tall & lanky. Thos. Lincoln was short & squatty, and described as rather quiet & dull-witted.
Little wonder that Lincoln avoided speaking-of, or acknowledging his origins.
T
@@jaydubbyuh2292geez, do you know his penis size too. Damn
Well that’s also patently false, JayDubby. Thomas Lincoln was not recently widowed. He didn’t become a widow until Nancy died, and since that is Abraham’s mother, your story is bullshit, too.
There is a recording of a French woman singing in 1860. If that machine she was using reached the United States, we could have heard what President Lincoln sounded like.
It was way less refined, you look at what the French were working on from the 1850s onward and even the most restored audio remains almost useless. Queen Victoria had her voice recorded but even that was barely intelligible, it is with Benjamin Harrison (1889-1893) who’s audio can actually be heard and understood, his predecessor and successor would not get his voice recorded (contrary to popular belief) but McKinley onward would be very intelligible (less so with Harding however). My point is that in spite of being partially existent across seas, it’s current state and and many future iterations would not have made a difference.
Admittedly the topics of Photographic, motion picture, and audio history are quite fascinating, really fun to research!
@Woozy We do?
@@OratorVeritatis maybe hese confusing King George III with King George IV. and Genghis Khan with Dschinghis Khan.
@@LazyartistLast Yeah.
@@LazyartistLastGeorge IV was George III's son and successor and died in 1830. So no.
Based on what many experts have said, Lincoln’s voice was not “deep and gravelly” but rather higher pitched than one would have expected. Daniel Day-Lewis researched long and hard and eventually “found” Lincoln’s voice. He did an outstanding job.
🙏 May President Abraham Lincoln be Blessed to a Better World & Realm ... 🕯🌷🌿🌎💜🕊
Read Thomas DeLorenzo, The Real Lincoln!
Everything I’ve read says he had a high pitched voice which is how Daniel Day Lewis portrayed it in “Lincoln”
The most ever loving and respectful US President - Abraham Lincoln!
Mr Lecion
The first audio recording device was developed before 1860. Called the phonautograph. Patented in 1857. So it could have been done, but it was not widely recognized until Edison developed the phonograph.
Thx... good info
Until recently, the recording were not translatable to sound, as they only recorded lines on paper.
Most historians describe Lincoln’s voice as high
My voice isn't that high pitched
My bad Abe!
Wear did u obtain they elixire
Hahaha 😂
Thank you for everything, Mr. President; you are the greatest.
your my favorite
Last photo 📸 of Lincoln ...best one I've ever seen ...says alot ...distinctive ...American
Almost every part of this is wrong. His high pitch and almost shrill voice, however, was not said to have been pleasant to the ears but it was many times remarked to have the surprising benefit of carrying across crowds in public speaking engagements. While his voice wasn't calming, his direct eloquence and story telling were said to be captivating.
This guy got the Kentucky accent right, but that's about all.
Actually, he had a “a thin tenor, or rather falsetto, voice, almost as high-pitched as a boatswain's whistle.” so said the journalist Horace White.
One of the finest political figures and gentlemen ever lived; God bless you, great Abe.
I could 'hear' that... very mellow!
My parents were born in 1917 and 1921, and one of the things that I found in a box, was a book that my mom had about Abraham Lincoln. It was published in 1865. It is an original edition. It is called “The Life Service Martyrdom and Funeral of Abraham Lincoln”. I think I might’ve just found a gem!
Lincoln's son, Tod, was to become the CEO of a major USA RailRoad company; where, such was during the later 1800's and maybe into the early 1900's. Was the voice of this son ever recorded? If yes, IMO, that would potentially be a more reliable starting point for "learning" the characteristics of his father's voice.
I heard he spoke in a tenor, but was indeed smooth and soothing once he got going.
I always heard he had high-pitched voice.
Very older people who remembered Lincoln said actir Raymond Massey sounded very similar to him.
I always understood his voice was high pitched but pleasant.
Daniel day Lewis said he goes into a spiritual relationship with something that basically possesses him , like a force which takes over his mind body and soul ... which leads him to finding the right voice , and it makes sense because every single one of his movies all the directors praise him because he quite literally, becomes the character he plays , he's considered to be "holy grale of actors" said Martin Scorsese right after making gangs of new York
There's an old wax cylinder recording from the 1860's in which he says the following:
"The money cow prays upon the nation in times of peace & conspires against its citizens in times of adversity until the wealth is adjudicated in a few hands & the republic is destroyed
It is more oppressive than monarchy, more demanding than autocracy & more selfish than burocracy"
fact remains that his speeches and voice did not spare him. He had half the country hating him. And I side with the guy
I learned in my Civil War class that Lincoln’s voice was low and high pitched with a Kentucky accent
He left Kentucky when he was about seven years old. He would have lost the Kentucky accent when he got older.
@@StuMarston maybe not if his parents had the accent.
@@Beaneabean Parents don't pass on the accent to kids.
@@StuMarston Kids can pick up the accent if they hear it every day at home…… Thats like literally how language in general works for babies/kids
@@Beaneabean Yeah you're absolutely right. Take it easy.
In retrospect, I sometimes think, Lincoln's getting shot, and dying comparatively quickly was... GOD saying, " You are sooooo tired of all this phenomenal RESPONSIBILITY, COME NOW, HOME TO MY GARDEN, YOU GREAT AND LOYAL SOUL ❤"... "YOUR JOB ON EARTH IS DONE"❤ "COME NOW TO YOUR MUCH-DESERVED ETERNAL REWARD" ❤.
Just watch Steven Spielberg's movie Lincoln. Daniel Day Lewis became Lincoln and his acting is perfect.
My cousin is in that movie
@@rd9793, one of my high school principals played an extra as a teacher in the movie, as well. Small world. 😉
I think the whole movie was depressing. DDL isn’t even tall; he isn’t even American - playing the most iconic American ever. And Mary Lincoln, how she was portrayed? Don’t get me started.
Four score and seven years ago……..I can hear Abraham Lincoln now.
Lincoln’s voice was high pitched accordingly to everyone who heard him speak.
Daniel Day Lewis, who played Lincoln in the movie Lincoln used a rather high toned voice based upon numerous recollections of LIncoln's voice being higher than normal; certainly not deep and gravely.
I’ve read that his voice was higher pitched, which was useful as it carried greater distance in a time when microphones weren’t invented.
The histories I’ve read all say he had a high voice. A journalist in 1860 NYC said it was so high that the audience began to laugh, but that subsided when he made important points. Nowhere have I ever heard his voice was deep and gravely.
My ancestors KNEW Lincoln, and described his voice as higher-pitched than one would expect of a man of his stature, and was easily recognized in a crowd. These men knew him as he rode the judicial circuit as well as when they served as delegates at political conventions.
Hearing him essentially greet us from the past is crazy.
Am I’m the only one who think he would sound like Morgan freeman?
Nah I imagined that too
I don’t think I’d describe his voice as being “deep” having seen (read) multiple accounts of what he sounded like.
Because of him we have all these problems today.
Lincoln’s voice was high-pitched, nasally and Western, almost to the point of being distracting until the listener grew accustomed to it.
And having learned to speak outdoors, before large and noisy crowds, you bet he could be clearly heard from long distances. His voice has been compared to a trumpet.
The phonograph wasn’t the first audio recording invention. In fact there was rudimentary and experimental equipment in France that was recorded in 1863
It was high pitched per Doris Kearns Goodwin’s “Team of Rivals.”
Lincolns words live forever
THE GOAT!
It want deep. It was high and nasally. A sharp contrast to his massive frame.
He had a high pitched voice.
Probably sounded like Evan Baxter when Bruce Almighty was screwing with his voice!
I saw a special about the civil war as a kid and the old timer Federal veteran ( in his 90's ) interviewed said, Lincoln sounded exactly like the actor Walter Brennan who was in movies as a young man , when the civil war veteran was still alive . Very interesting!
So cool. I’m looking up that actor now!
Daniel Day Lewis must have seen the same special because I looked up Walter Brennan and DDL be doing the same voice in “Lincoln” 😂
Interesting. My great-grandfather actually heard him speak once, and was quite shocked by how high-pitched and squeaky his voice was. In fact, when the Spielberg movie came out, I was amazed that Daniel Day Lewis had correctly adopted a high-pitched voice. The cheap and easier route would’ve been to use a deep voice, as if the Lincoln Memorial was talking.
I always thought he had HIGH PITCHED and squeaky voice. At least from every source I have ever read
❤I love president Lincoln ❤I find him fascinating ❤
Where did you hear that his voice was "deep and gravelly"?
I've read a number of accounts that Lincoln's voice was on the higher end of the scale. But then remember when he spoke in public there was no amplification, so he would have been raising his voice, and therefore the tone of the voice too. Only one president in my memory had a deep voice: Richard Nixon.
I don’t ever remember reading, or hearing that his voice was low. I think Daniel Day-Lewis got it the closest in his movie on Lincoln.
Did anyone who heard Lincoln speak and suggest someone who was very similar to someone that is recorded?
Is this a joke? A deep and soothing voice? That's the opposite of every description of Lincoln's voice from his contemporaries.
You’re reading too much
Absolute gigachad of a president. The only one ever who wasn’t problematic.
Don't tell the left that. They wanna cancel him too. 😒
Oh, the naivety. He literally thought black people were biologically interior and would've kept slavery to preserve the Union. He suspending civil rights. His treatment of indigenous folks was horrible, I could go on…
The South needs a word with you
@@itzamiaFort Sumter
Yep, nothing at all...600,000 American lives later
Actually it was the phonautogram in 1859.
Waste of time- they didn’t even summon Abe from the dead so we could hear him speak 😤😤😤
I read he had a high pitched voice.
No one will ever truly know how Lincoln sounded because there’s no recording of his voice.
Jit you got it all wrong, I hit puberty at the age of 42.
Lincoln was 6'2 without his iconic boots so he mustve been one tall cookie
I have always heard he was 6’4”
He was 6ft 4in making him the tallest America president and Trump coming in at 3rd and James Madison was the shortest coming in at 5ft 4in
“Did the audience realize, that soft November afternoon, that they were listening to the greatest speech that had ever fallen from human lips up to that time? No most of his hearers were merely curious: they had never seen nor heard a President of the United States, they strained their necks to look at Lincoln, a high, thin voice, and that he spoke with a Southern accent.”
-Dale Carnegie, Lincoln The Unknown
Why would Lincoln have a Kentucky accent .. he was from Illinois . Strange .
I imagine every historical figure sounding like Gilbert Gottfried
When I was 6 years old, I thought he was Count Dracula, until I went to proper School I learned he was Abe Lincoln 😀
Deep and gravely? Citation required. I’ve always read his voice was described as high pitched and “reedy” like Daniel Day Lewis in the movie Lincoln, which carried the more confidence he gathered.
Oh my goodness I just wrote high pitched and "reedy" in my own comment. I even put quotes on reedy like you did! It just makes sense!
Wow 🤩, God Bless him,Amen
He had a high voice
"There are no known recordings of his voice"
"There are no recordings of his voice"
The phonograph was originally invented in France and did not arrive in the United States until after Lincoln died.
If only there had been a young Frank Caliendo who heard Lincoln speak, he could've reproduced the voice years later and recorded it.
Love how all these people saw it was high, like how do they know
Just like that everyone is an automatic expert on the 16th President of America. Source : Trust me, bro.
Read up on it.
He was known to have a very high and shrill sounding voice
I believe there was this live tv channel of someone with a audio tape of George Washingtons voice and he dropped the tape and it broke and they lost the audio and it was the only audio of his voice
"....voice was low and gravely.?" I've also heard that his voice was "high pitched." Which is correct?
Every historical description I've ever read said his voice was high, with a folksy, country accent! It was his humor & intelligence that won people over!
Lincoln had hight pitched voice when he was young but when he became older it became deeper
If there is video of him talking, it is sometimes possible to measure the subtle vibrations in solid objects to re-create the real audio and thus the real voice! However the film might not be good enough. Its a thought anyway. Thanks.
Say, the world is Noble & Advance
'they coming for you! Oh Lord!' 😁☀️⚰️👀😭
😁⭐
Lincoln had a deep and gravely voice, just like Patton, right?
heard his voice was high
I will look into it more, I have seen that as well.
Your video would have been more useful and interesting if you'd have included someone speaking with a "distinctive Kentucky accent". Who the hell knows what a Kentucky accent is??
"No known recordings"?? implies there may have been secret, unknown recordings. And maybe movies??
@@keithstump1712Appalachian accent
@@thecuriouscollectivefake news why are you lying? It’s well documented that his voice was high pitched
Bro had Morgan Freeman's voice.
Hurray! I love Abraham Lincon!!!!
Can’t they scan the paper recording of the voice and create an audio file of it?
Great pics 📸 the last one: distinctive/distinguished/real character ...no film could capture his distinctive look ...real American look 🇺🇸
It was a high-pitched voice.
We already know he sounded just like Morgan Freeman
He was the first instance of ASMR.
Yep his voice was high pitched as demonstrated in the 2012 film that tells u why. He’s very tall man and was very muscular, when he was a wrestler and when the doctors frantically remove many layers of his clothing (including his coat and shirt) at the Petersen House to find no additional wounds, they couldn’t help but admire his strong and muscular arms. They were like, “Holy dang! He does look very strong” when re examining his fully nude body.
This just sounds like you described moist cr1tikle 💀
The next person who comments about how Lincolns voice was high-pitched wins the prize 🏆 🏆
I can’t believe that Abraham Lincoln was a GAF!!!!!!!!
Literally none of his peers described his voice as deep.
I always read his voice was unusually high, and got "higher," when he was excited.
I heard his Gettysburg Address on RUclips years ago. They claimed it was really him, delivering that classic speech. 🤔
*So basically, optimus prime?*
