No he doesn’t
For those that wonder why the earlier Presidents in this list talked in that strange cadence and seemed to emphasize every word. It was actually a speaking technique that was taught called "Oratory". Basically, in days before microphones and amplified sound, to be heard in a crowd of thousands, you had to speak from deep in your chest so your voice kind of boomed and also had to emphasize every word so your voice would carry to the farthest corners of wherever you were speaking.
This should be a top comment. Common in theatre back then as well (and then carried over into movies).
It kinda sounds like church preaching (especially in black American churches), which also makes sense.
Also for the recording devices of the time they're literally shouting into a horn.
Or it was just the way humans who cared about this country enunciated certain words and patterns.
@@didi012578 You needn’t invent some sort of patriotic propaganda for the reason US presidents in that era adopted that style of speech. It’s fanciful and ahistorical. It is also most certainly not a road you want yo go down, as genuine terrible men back then also adopted similar “eloquence” to their speech patterns. I don’t mean the presidents who sucked; I’m talking Mussolini and Hitler.
Fun fact: after leaving politics, Benjamin Harrison had a career as the voice actor for all the adult characters in the Charlie Brown movies.
😂

Wah wah wah, wah wah wah wah!

I searched online and actually found a transcript of what Benjamin Harrison said in his recording.
"As president of the United States, I was present at the first Pan-American congress in Washington DC. I believe that with God's help, our two countries shall continue to live side-by-side in peace and prosperity" - Benjamin Harrison

I'm not even sure what I expected Calvin Coolidge to sound like, but I'm still surprised
im surprised that he sounds just like Jfk
One of his most defining features on his face is his nose so him having a nasally voice just made sense to me.
Coolidge had a sharp Vermont twang to his speech, but I find it fitting to his appearance
Pepperidge Farm remembers
I mean, no offense but, "less manly" is what I'd say
there’s something so crazy about hearing the voices of people who were born damn near 200 years ago.
America just sounded like a bunch of Brits, until the late 1940s. According to this, then the American transatlantic twang started to kick in from Eisenhower onwards. Imagine how these early presidents would react listening to George Bush Jr and Joe Biden, they would be shocked :-D
@@Rowlph8888 Not really, the American accents has been distinct from the British accents since the first settlement on Jamestown. Even by the Revolution, multiple American regions already had their own distinct accents from the British.
Instead what you are hearing are, from the early 1900s onwards to the 1930s are mostly Mid-Atlantic accents, or the “newsman” accent of the day.
@@sunshineimperials1600 Mate, I don't know if you're exercising some kind of stubborn patriotism, in the face of clear auditory evidence, because I'm English and I speak with an accent close to British received pronunciation, and all of these guys, up to Eisenhower, speak almost pure RP, with the exception of Taft, who has a slight transatlantic twang and the 1st 3 guys, in the 19th-century, who speak "posh" effete, aristocratic British. You may have researched that somewhere about sounds changing right from Jamestown, but you cannot hold onto, what you hear in theory, which is subject to propaganda, in the face of "CLEAR STARK EVIDENCE" in front of your ears. I've listened to Congress members speaking when Churchill went to ask for help during the Second World War and all of these guys up until Eisenhower, speaking here and these accnts are no different from what you. would hear in educated circles in the south of England, right now.
@@Rowlph8888 Received Pronunciation and the “Trans-Atlantic” accents are just variants of each other, and nobody spoke this accent outside of the upper class or in official function, such as when Congress was in session. Wasn’t aware that the average Briton spoke with the RP accent without any sort of regional differentiation.
Noted that you’re from South England, which certainly explains things as they definitely have their superiority complexes.
@@sunshineimperials1600 Hey, I was objectively reasoning and there are another couple of videos of these presidents speaking and I didn't hear the lunacy of this video here, so that's why I made the comment about these guys speaking close to RP, precisely because that is what they are doing, I didn't make any comment about the generral population.
I just call out hypocrisy where I see it, and on this video Plenty of people's comments were referring to these guys accents as if they were clear regional accents, which couldnt be further from the truth
If you think the general population with a clear regional accent, then just say That, but don't come out with some BS, that these guys we can hear with our own ears are Speaking with a transatlantic accent, like someone like George Bush, or Obama or Clinton are on the same video, because you're propagating a delusion. If that is what you are Saying.There is a clear distinction and obviously the transatlantic twang has got much stronger and more prominent in The last 70 years, than before that time
This has FA to do with a superiority complex.what has people speaking with a British accent got to do with feeling superior, it's not like I'm saying anything about being tthe best, it's just an accent

@@DAVID-xb7ov It was the tech of the time. You record notes by cutting notches or grooves into a material using a vibrating instrument, yeah? Well, downside of that, the very property of the materials that allows them to be so carved also allows them to warp and distort easily. The earliest recordings were actually done on wax, of all things.
The first half of Taft's speech got a sick beat.

WHO'S FARTING
lul I started grooving to it after like 10 seconds
WOW!! Sound technology has come a long way in 130 years! Pres. Taft's voice sounds remarkably good and clear for the early 1910's!
Possibly. Taft died in 1930. By that time the sound era of motion pictures had begun. The recording technology--while still growing--was much better than it had been in the 1910s. (The Bela Lugosi version of "Dracula" was filmed in late 1930 for a sound quality comparison.) This Taft speech might have been recorded a little later in his life.
@@davidgradwell8830 Thanx! Makes sense!
@@davidgradwell8830 Harrison’s voice is the equivalent of one bit
It may have been recorded later on in his life. Keep in mind, after his presidency, Taft would return to Washington D.C., moving from the executive branch to the judicial branch of government. He was a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court later on in life.
@@hgodvilla00 Thanx for the update! 😊
I’ve often thought about how no living person knows what leaders like Abraham Lincoln’s or George Washington’s voices sounded like and never will again.
We usually just slap a deep and wise voice on them
@@thebasedspectre3048 According to contemporary testimony, Washington was apparently very soft spoken, especially in his later years. And Lincoln was reported to have a higher pitched voice than you’d expect for his face.
@@TheNightWatcher1385 really holy shit I was going to write how funny it would've been if Lincoln had a high pitched voice
Washington’s voice was so quiet because he has some problems with his larynx even before his presidency.
@@thebasedspectre3048 Daniel Day Lewis’ portrayal of Lincoln’s voice is pretty close to the real thing I imagine.
In The early recordings The presidents have a British esque accent, it's fascinating how the general
American accent changed over the years
I caught that as well. It's very interesting!
@@Dranwulf it confused me but I guess thats just the early mid atlantic accent good thing we shed the British elements
@@bezllama3325 Believe it or not, we can still find a colonial English accent if you know the right secluded places in the United States. And colonial isn't close to modern British accents!
This is what I just said. Listen to Queen Elizabeth II, for a "posh" British accent and the 1st 3 presidents here iin the 19th-century, have that accent - It sounds effete and a bit artificial.Then notice all of these presidents in the 20th-century, up to Eisenhower, have an "RP" middle-class, neutral, educated Brit accent, like,Tom Hiddleston or Benedict Cumberbatch and had "lost" the posh elements.Then from Eisenhower onwards. there is a Gradual emergence of the distinct American twang. It's safe to say that the founding fathers all spoke "Posh" British
Isn’t it called TransAtlantic accent?
Honestly didn’t expect Coolidge’s voice to sound as deep as it did
True I thought it would have been higher pitched
I find it fascinating how not just the accents subtly change, but the entire manner of speaking does. Not that it becomes more 'casual', but that our perceptions of oratory in politics have shifted so much. Compare for instance Reagan's simple but effective speech, to Harding's use of various pompous metaphors.
It's basically "initially"(Late 19th century) from "posh" British, through "RP" middle-class British in the 1st half of the 20th century(e.g. Tom Hiddleston)… and from Eisenhower onwards there is the clear Transatlantic North American accent begins to emerge "distinctly" and then becomes predominant through the 70s … I'm surprised it took so long and then after the 60s changed so rapidly, at least to the common ear.
I guess this could signify how USA kicked off big time in population growth, marketing and so many other genres after the Second World War and a stronger identity emerged as a result
Consider how oratory used to be slow and deliberate, distinct words needing to be heard over large crowds without amplification. That requires frequent pauses, something which disappears as amplification technology improves.
I always thought that the turn of the century would be about as far back as you could go without being able to have natural conservations. (Because of slang, style, etc).
But listen to William Howard Taft. Assuming his parents and grandparents were born in the 1700s/1800s, and he could speak with them naturally, I bet we would too.
Reagan was the one who turned American political discourse into incoherent slobbering and sticking to one-syllable words. I found his attitude that the American people are all idiots and need to be spoken to like children pretty condescending. Unfortunately this approach has more and more backers every year, especially in the Trump faction
When Benjamin Harrison said "avuaovo of the united states aoovhapvhhejvavjavjoa" a tear came from my eye and turned into a Bald Eagle and then flew away. I felt so proud to an American.
I was NOT expecting Calvin Coolidge to have such a voice….

He was probably one of the most charismatic presidents ever honestly
Being confident, straightforward, and authoritative is pretty much a requirement to be a good general like he was
That's a Kansas accent for ya!
That quality is what makes his D-Day speech from 1944 so chilling and powerful I think.

@@stratinolampino and one of the best presidents we ever had. On top of the fact he was also a former soldier who rode on horseback.
To me, William Howard Taft sounds more like a regular guy, rather than the formal voices of yesteryear (like McKinley, TR, Harding, Wilson).
I noticed that too. He sounds wealthy and educated but still has a casual style. It’s nice to hear.
I thought the same thing, he dropped that almost British sound and was the first to sound “American”
Very much so. I noticed too.
He sounded very midwestern
Taft is memed as "the fat one," but he really is an underrated president.
It's weird being so old that I remember Reagan, Carter, Bush, Clinton & I was listening to those speeches LIVE!!!
When it gets to the point where you're alive is kind of crazy. Especially when you're in your 40s. And even Nixon and Ford and Kennedy aren't that far back to me. We heard them a lot growing up.
I vaguely remember Nixon’s resignation and seeing Ford on tv.

I always wondered what Abraham Lincoln’s voice sounded like.
Though I’ve heard it was described as “floaty” and “annoying”
And higher pitched than you might expect is what I've read.
I've heard that his voice was high pitched and raspy. The movie Lincoln has a fairly accurate approximation of what he sounded like.
This is fascinating! I fully expected Teddy Roosevelt's voice to be quite a bit lower and more bombastic! Of all the choice's for Bill Clinton 😂👍!
That's Hollywood for you. All those old movies depicted Theodore Roosevelt with that booming voice ("Bully!") as well as the play (and movie) "Arsenic and Old Lace." Most people were better acquainted with the actual voice of Franklin Roosevelt, rather than the voice of his cousin, Theodore. TR couldn't broadcast to the people every week as FDR was able to. (No radio in the early 1900s!) Hollywood movies filled in the blank for Theodore's voice, just as they had with Lincoln's voice ( a strong, solemn voice for Abe, rather than a high-pitched one, which he reputedly had.)
Robin Williams does a good job at portraying Theodore Roosevelt in Night at the Museum.
@@Benjifan2000 Yes, I'd agree, Robin certainly captured the assertiveness I would expect from accounts of Theodore Roosevelt, I think one of my favorite presidents!

This is the funniest comment in this thread
Benjamin Harrison sounds like the person who says “WHO TOUCHED MY SPAGHETTI”
Lol that is so true
As an Englishman, I am fascinated by how "British" so many of the accents sounded, up to and including FDR. I've noticed this too in some of the Holywood films of the 1930s and 40s, in which so many American actors have distinctly British vowels and cadences.
It was important for filmmaking so that you could hear the actors clearly on early sound equipment. They called it the “transatlantic” accent. Actors and public speakers were trained to speak that way in the interest of recording.
A good number of those actors were british born.
Not British. It's a mid-Atlantic accent. It's usually affected.
Before world war 2, there was a great sociolinguistic divide between the upper and lower classes in the united states. One of these indicators was rhoticism, and the presidents from more well endowed families and schools tend to demonstrate non-rhoticism. Similarly in England this was the case. Many regional accents in the uk were rhotic, and some still are today, such as the west country dialect. After the war, Americans enjoyed greater levels of prosperity and had access to better education than before. The upper class dialects lost their prestige and regional dialects were able to thrive.
In the UK, prestige dialects maintained their status and it's why the "queen's English" or RP is still used today among the most well off old money Britons.
Presidents like the Roosevelts were from a pretty important New York family. To this day there are still dialectal differences among new yorkers based on status, borough, and ethnicity.
Pretty much saying that presidents didn't always sound like your regular American because of the class divide that existed during that time, not because of a shift away from Britain.
@ladyprudence6 No, it wasn't.
The Northeastern US was predominantly settled by people from Southern England, and so, surprise, they spoke like people from Southern England.
The rest of USA had influx of north England, Scotland, Ireland, plus Germany, Sweden etc. and so mixed American accent(s) developed.
Over time British-sounding Northeast accent steadily became more and more like General American. These recordings(plus people like Hepburn) captured the shifting of the accent from the older, more British-sounding to the modern sounding accent of today. Nothing affected or artificial about it at all.
Woodrow Wilson sounds like the chill introvert narrator that everyone loves.
If only that was an accurate description of him.

Benjamin Harrison really said "Ẍ̴̨̨̨̢̨̢̛̛̺͓̘͇͚͓̗͉̗̪͇̝̳͖̙͙̝̜̱̼͔͉̜͙̰̯̫̜̖͉͎͉̠̩͚̦̳͉͎̯̦̪̯̗̤̻̜́̆̀̇̈́́̔̄̐̀̇͆̐͐͛͗͐͒̆̓̏̈́̈́̀̀̎͑̽̆̉̔̊͒͒͆̓̂̅̆̓́͗͛̓̿̈́͆̽͑̋̽̈́̿͘̕̚̕̕͘̕̕̕̚̚̕͘̚̕͜͜͜͝͝͝ģ̴̢̡̨̛̛̺͔̲̻̠̬̠̬̤̠̱̝͎̹͚̜̫̼̠̼̭͕̭̰̞̞͈̬̰̻̜̯͙̟͔̹̙̤̼͕̹̣̘̤̱̼͎̲͍̇̅̊͊̊̍̊͑̀̔̓͋̓̃̈́͋͛̌́͊̋̐̽̿̃̓̑̈͐̅̋̀̉̎̿͌̃̊͌̓̈̋͑̈́̈́̄̿̇̊͐̊̑̓̿́̆͋́͐̃͌̐̌̔̂̀͋͊̆̀̈́͗̀̔̃̎̽͊̓̎̀̈́̊̿̈̀͆̽̾̈́̈͗͂̓͆͋̑̏̓̿̐̅̃͑̈́̈́́̑̽̂̅̏͊̏̾́̌̎̈́̇̀̑̿̽̽̅̊̉̚͘͘̚͘͘̕̚͘̕̚̚͜͝͠͠͝͠͝͠͝͠͝ͅc̶̨̡̛̛̰̀̐͂̆̈̋̏́̆͑̑̀̒̆͒̇̒͐̃͆̽͗̈́͆͑̿̃̈́̈̀͐̈́̌̀̈́͊̂͊̑͌̇͂͑͘̚̕̚͘͘̕͘̕͝"
As a professional recording engineer all I can say is this... us Americans really need to hold this L for losing such a regal accent over time.
Im so dumb at the start. i asked, "What about george washington?" Then i realized that im an idiot
Why yes, Mr. Harrison, I would like fries with that. 😎
I just wish we could hear the voices of presidents like George Washington and Abe Lincoln
Harrison be like :
"hehgdyyxndnnejkskjsjyxuuelidoojqsnshhe"
Fr💀💀💀💀
0:21 "toot toot"
"I believe the american people have self control and the ability to learn from their mistakes"
Boy I love teddy, but that quote could not have aged worse.
Nobody:
Bill Clinton: I did not have sexual relationships with that woman
Monica Lewinsky "
Taft and Eisenhower sound very similar both had a great speaking voice.
Something about that static sound that I love so much with the recordings of Benjamin Harrison.
It’s crazy how different the flags looked back. It shows how far America has came.
William McKinley sounds exactly like he looks.
He really does, doesn't he?
Fun fact: Early voice recording may cause the sound to be higher. It happens in the earlier versions of microphones and can be heard in many recordings of the time. Earlier opera vinyl disks suffer from this and recently some work is being done in trying to improve their quality with AI and other virtual tools.
Anyways, have in mind that the voices of earlier POTUS in the video may be deeper even if they're very similar to the reality.
Fun fact: Benjamin Harrison was the first President to have his voice recorded!
Hello Dixie Brown how are you doing hope you’re doing great with your family.
That's why he was first.
Uhm no it was actually Rutherford B Hayes but it got lost
And apparently he was so excited to be the first that he began speaking in reverse.
President Harrison was the forefather of bad audible calls you get on your cell phone. 😂
6:04 you could’ve used the most iconic part of FDR’s “Pearl Harbor” speech
It wasn’t the highest quality speech tho
@@YeeBoi_420 don’t care. Nixon and JFK’s clips were their most famous speeches
@@miscellaneoussarnian5282 because they were speech’s that were sent out to the entire country over broadcast so they were higher quality and not in the jank microphones of 1941

How come Taft is recorded with a sick house beat playing in the background?
Taft Punk
I love how you put that troll face on Nixon for the split second when he said "I'm not a crook" 😂
That was childish
0:26 I realized at that last part Benjamin Harrison said his own name at the end!
He sure did!
He was probably quoting his founding father, great-grandfather, who was also named Benjamin Harrison.
His grandfather is William Henry Harrison
Theodore Roosevelt has a nice voice-
You didn't need to include a - at the end
@@alterbennet5420 that is true and it was stupid

You lie Bush!
1:07 fun fact: my neighbor is directly related to william mckinley (he is currently around 86)
I’m not sure who is more incomprehensible; Benjamin Harrison or Donald Trump.
Herbert Hoover in WW1. Jeez. Well done. 👏
It may have been a recording made from 1939-41. It might be Hoover referencing the unfolding situation with Hitler. The speech has an isolationist tone, which was in keeping with the message of the Republicans (like Hoover) of that time. He also chose the word "totalitarian," which was more in keeping with the conflict with the Axis. If he had been referencing The Great War, he might have been more apt to say "imperialist" or, "tyrannical' or, "war-mongering," or, "belligerent" to describe the Central Powers. The language just didn't fit for World War I, but it does for World War II.
@@davidgradwell8830That Hoover Recording Was In 1940 By British Movietone Talking About Joining The War In Europe Battle Of Britain That Until 200-300 Americans Join The Battle, Since They Declared War In December 1941
Thank you for having that clip in full. A lot of people didn’t know what was actually said. ❤
Which clip?
@@EliteKnight97 well there was even more said condemning racism, but which President has been the most attacked by media in US history?
Eisenhower sounds like one of them narrators in those old military documentaries
William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, and William Howard Taft sound exactly as I thought they would.
FDR sounds like a narrorator in a 40 recruitment video
Boy is Taft's heart bounding hard during his speech. I have expected him to break out in song.
damn woodrow wilson's voice sounds very very clear for that time
Benjamin Harrison is like our teacher on the zoom class
Benjamin Harrison sounds like he was speaking through one of those tubes at the playground.
the way kennedy pronounced 'decade' as 'decayed' made me laugh
"Danger against twitch"
-President of the United States Franklin D. Roosevelt
I already expected what Bill's voice sample was going to be lol
I thought Cleveland wasn't recorded. Also, trump Jfk nixon reagan Bush Jr Clinton and
Obama got the most iconic voices in presidential history
It's William Jennings Bryan, not Grover Cleveland.
@emperorvalkorion1437 that's what I thought
Um Eisenhower? Considered right up there too
@@Max_m his wasn't as iconic he sounded like a generic politician
That’s probably because we’re all so familiar with those voices.
Why does Rice play Texas? - JFK 😂😂
FDR knows all to well the dangers of twitch! 😂 Thank you so much this is awesome to hear all of their voices!
Cleveland’s is actually William Jennings Bryan giving his Cross of Gold Speech. Still a very cool and historical moment that we can actively witness!
Great recordings. Although I do not believe Grover Cleveland ever recorded his voice. Correct me if wrong, but I think that was William Jennings Bryan's voice instead. Otherwise, most of the recordings from TR on are of surprisingly good quality.
i keep getting this comment, i didn't even know who William Jennings was until people kept telling me that there's no recording of Cleveland and that its William Jennings voice, i don't know where people get that but from what i hear they sound different to me
William Jennings

Grover Cleveland

@Uncle-History The top comment on the Grover Cleveland video is Grover Cleveland saying that it isn't him. Not only that, but most historians say that Cleveland never had his voice recorded.
@@Benjifan2000Grover Cleveland had a youtube account?
0:00 Sounds like a McDonald’s drive thru
Of course, there's always the weird possibility that maybe people back then really actually sounded like that and then, when the sound era began in movies in 1927, our modern pronunciation was instantly--snap!--born overnight! :)
I love through out all the years the audio quality gets better and better with each president
When McKinley said "My fellow citizens" I was expecting him to continúe saying "It is I, the great William McKinley"
Isn't that recording of Cleveland actually William Jennings Bryan? I had thought there weren't any surviving recordings of Cleveland.
Cleveland served two non consecutive terms
@@HistoricalNonsense7526 I think you misunderstood me, as that fact is irrelevant to the topic of this voice recording not being Grover Cleveland's voice. There are actually no surviving recordings of President Cleveland's voice, & from what I've researched, that recording is actually an excerpt from William Jennings Bryan's Cross of Gold speech.
@@TheFederalist11 you tell me these are the same?

@@HistoricalNonsense7526 I did some research for the quote, & here it is:
"My friends, we shall declare that this nation is able to legislate for its own people on every question without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation on earth, and upon that issue we expect to carry every single state in the Union.
I shall not slander the fair state of Massachusetts nor the state of New York by saying that when citizens are confronted with the proposition, “Is this nation able to attend to its own business?”-I will not slander either one by saying that the people of those states will declare our helpless impotency as a nation to attend to our own business. It is the issue of 1776 over again. Our ancestors, when but 3 million, had the courage to declare their political independence of every other nation upon earth. Shall we, their descendants, when we have grown to 70 million, declare that we are less independent than our forefathers? No, my friends, it will never be the judgment of this people."
From what I've been able to research, all of the websites that I've seen state that this quote was stated by William Jennings Bryan. Not a single one mentioned Grover Cleveland.
Here is the full Cross of Gold speech:

On the matter of both voices sounding different, chances are that the audio of the voice that think is Cleveland is likely a younger William Jennings Bryan, whereas the other one is an older William Jennings Bryan.
