The Distinctive Voice of Abraham Lincoln!

Subscribe Here! ➡️- / @thecuriouscollective
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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
