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 he spoke in a tenor, but was indeed smooth and soothing once he got going.
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
I learned in my Civil War class that Lincoln’s voice was low and high pitched with a Kentucky accent
@StuMarston maybe not if his parents had the accent.
@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
@StuMarston Instead of remaining an embarrassing moron, actually try to learn something that you should have known years ago. Its not wild to know that kids pick up language with their surrounding. They also pick up behaviors.
@StuMarston"Take it easy" 😂😂
It was high piercing it's been documented by many sources. Not sure if it had a Kentucky tone or an Illinois tone to it.
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!
Wow 🤩, God Bless him,Amen
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

Yep, nothing at all...600,000 American lives later
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.
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
"....voice was low and gravely.?" I've also heard that his voice was "high pitched." Which is correct?
He had a high pitched voice.
Waste of time- they didn’t even summon Abe from the dead so we could hear him speak 😤😤😤
Literally none of his peers described his voice as deep.
Lincoln's voice was never described as deep-- on the contrary, several writers who heard him personally described it as surprisingly high pitched with a unique timbre.
The next person who comments about how Lincolns voice was high-pitched wins the prize 🏆 🏆
I've heard it as disturbingly high pitched, squeaky.
I've always read his voice was high, which most people found curios becsuse, it did not equate to his physical appearance, which was a perceived perception.
All accounts I’ve read said he had a high-pitched voice.
Ron Paul comes to mind.
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
Everyone said he had a high voice.
It was a high-pitched voice.
Bro at 00:15 is the type of guy to say "he's right behind me isnt he"
😂
There are also no known instances of Abe walking on the moon since that didn't happen until 1969. Go figure.
Thankfully we have the Morgan Freeman setting.
No, he had presence, but his voice was uncharacteristically high pitched.
And people reported he looked awkward while on horseback. One report was his trouser ride up to expose his thin hairy leg, which look comical.
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.
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!
If we have audio recordings of Genghis Khan and King George why dont we have them of Lincoln
@@woozy7405 We do?
@@OratorVeritatis maybe hese confusing King George III with King George IV. and Genghis Khan with Dschinghis Khan.
@@The8thblock Yeah.
My voice isn't that high pitched
My bad Abe!
Wear did u obtain they elixire
Stay away from plays
Hahaha 😂
Thank you for everything, Mr. President; you are the greatest.
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
@@astracontritus1209Use me as a mark of shame for the commenter above
@@steveculbert4039
Eh, exactly WHAT IS untrue? Lincoln's voice WAS high pitched and squeaky. And you've already agreed that it was so. Pls explain the rest of your post...confusing in a way.
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.
Everything I’ve read says he had a high pitched voice which is how Daniel Day Lewis portrayed it in “Lincoln”
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.
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.
Why would Lincoln have a Kentucky accent .. he was from Illinois . Strange .
We already know he sounded just like Morgan Freeman
I always heard he had high-pitched voice.
The most ever loving and respectful US President - Abraham Lincoln!
Mr Lecion
*So basically, optimus prime?*
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.
Very older people who remembered Lincoln said actir Raymond Massey sounded very similar to him.
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!
High pitched - Lincoln didn't have deep gravelly voice - High pitched and thin
That's very true - High pitched and shrill at times . . .
Am I’m the only one who think he would sound like Morgan freeman?
Nah I imagined that too
Ronald Reagan's voice; same. Soft , but powerful.
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.
I imagine every historical figure sounding like Gilbert Gottfried
Absolutely FALSE! It has been well established that Lincoln had a high pitched voice. Please don't get your history, or anything else important from Tik Tok.
This is must be the new reality: Deliberately post obviously erroneous content to rack up views. All for $. If I'm wrong, take this down.
I can’t believe that Abraham Lincoln was a GAF!!!!!!!!
Most historians describe Lincoln’s voice as high
this is highly incorrect. Lincoln was considered to have a high pitched and reedy voice that made people ridicule some of his speeches.
Also the first ever voice recording of anyone was april 9th 1860 which was a 20 second audio recording of a woman's voice.
Since Lincoln was president from March 4, 1861 - April 15, 1865 this means it is perfectly possible to hear Lincoln's voice on a recording.
Of im not mistaken there is a recording of lincoln giving a debate speech against his opponent before an election here on UA-cam
Lincoln had a deep and gravely voice, just like Patton, right?
His voice was "high pitched, shrill, like a boatswain's whistle." Not deep
You may be right...but, Ifind it might be hard to listen to a high-pitchef speaker for any length of time🤣😂🤣
I thought Abe Lincoln's voice was high-pitched.
Wow, this could not be more incorrect. All accounts of his voice describe it as shrill and high pitched. The exact opposite of this (false and inaccurate) video.
Wait a second President Lincoln is my favorite President his voice was high pitched it wasn't deep come on now everybody knows this🎉😂❤
AI generated garbage
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.
I don’t think I’d describe his voice as being “deep” having seen (read) multiple accounts of what he sounded like.
History tells us Lincoln had a high pitch voice. Where did you get this information.
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.
He was of English ancestry. Did he have a British accent?
This just sounds like you described moist cr1tikle 💀
President Of The United States Of America 🇺🇸
Four score and seven years ago……..I can hear Abraham Lincoln now.
It want deep. It was high and nasally. A sharp contrast to his massive frame.
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.
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" ❤.
Say, the world is Noble & Advance
'they coming for you! Oh Lord!' 😁☀️⚰️👀😭
😁⭐
Actually it was the phonautogram in 1859.
I always thought he had HIGH PITCHED and squeaky voice. At least from every source I have ever read
So Abraham Lincoln is Morgan Freeman
Did anyone who heard Lincoln speak and suggest someone who was very similar to someone that is recorded?
You mean he didn't sound like Henry Fonda?
The phonograph wasn’t the first audio recording invention. In fact there was rudimentary and experimental equipment in France that was recorded in 1863
Can’t they scan the paper recording of the voice and create an audio file of it?
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.
🙏 May President Abraham Lincoln be Blessed to a Better World & Realm ... 🕯🌷🌿🌎💜🕊
Read Thomas DeLorenzo, The Real Lincoln!
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.
It was high pitched per Doris Kearns Goodwin’s “Team of Rivals.”
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"
He was known to have a very high and shrill sounding voice
He was black .. didn’t know that either
This video is one if the biggest lies and goes against all historical documents
misinformation. his voice was not deep, it was actually higher pitched
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.
Wrong - Lincoln had a high pitched voice . . .
Lincoln’s voice was high pitched accordingly to everyone who heard him speak.
Not what I've heard. I'd always read that he had a high pitched voice.
There IS a recording by Lincoln
THE GOAT!
fact remains that his speeches and voice did not spare him. He had half the country hating him. And I side with the guy
Where did you hear that his voice was "deep and gravelly"?
One of the finest political figures and gentlemen ever lived; God bless you, great Abe.
I could 'hear' that... very mellow!
