Assad's lisp definitely counts too.

I'm impressed by the quality.
>>3309256
Franco literally didn't have balls
>>3309179

>>3309515
But this recording destroyed the myth that he was basically speaking falsetto.
>>3309243
Teddy was maybe the most alpah motherfucker that's ever been in the White House.
>>3309281
Came to post this. He had a really high, squeaky voice.
>>3309549
I also thought about this but the point still stands.

So it could be just a result of accident but I think I heard that recordings back in the day really distorted the actual sound.
>>3309267
Sounds like chicken noises
>>3309243
Coolidge sounds like he needs sinus surgery
>>3309524
Ah true. I had heard before that he spoke in a voice that was practically squeaking.
>>3309243
Cleveland's audio is not his but Bryan's.
>>3309281
The voice is a bit higher but his cadence is still how I imagined.
10/10 still badass
>>3309179
Wow, his voice was a lot higher-pitched than you'd expect.
Nothing beats the soothing voice of Woodrow Wilson

>>3309179
desu i blame hollywood. in real life, i've noticed most mens' voices are nowhere near radio or tv voices and a lot sound high pitched.
>>3309596
(((sparrow))) noises*
>>3309281
This is a little jarring. But Patton is Patton.
>>3309281
Also I'm pretty sure this exactly how Europeans would imagine a wacky American voice in that era.
>>3309895
It's unironically Estrogen in the water
>>3309219
He had been breathing helium or something before that speech. In other videos he sounds normal:

I don't even like the guy, but this is disingenuous.
>>3309179
I've studied Stalin for two years and have written three papers on his government. I'm planning to write my dissertation on his relationship with NKVD leaders during the 1936 purge.
Today was the first time I heard his voice. Jesus Christ.
Shorter men rarely have deep voices, and obviously the way you speak doesn't have any bearing on your character. But I'll be damned if this doesn't change my perception of the guy.
LBJ's voice always makes me cringe
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-FibDxpkb0
Neat thread, I always like hearing really old recordings of politicians. Even though I don't like him at all, FDR had a really comforting voice.
>>3309930
we'd need statistics though. I think it's simply a problem of imagination vs. reality. I always thought as a kid that grownups sounded like in the movies, but most people's voices are shit sounding, and i think that has to do with my being raised on movies and being isolated. If anything it's chemicals in what we eat and in plastics- the same stuff taht has caused a plummet in sperm count over the late 50 years.

Were these voices really that high pitched or was it just a product of the recording process?
>tfw will never have any audio recordings of the Lincoln-Douglas debates or of the Founding Fathers
>>3309967
>LBJ's voice always makes me cringe
why? he was texan i don't see anything else that can make it cringeworthy
>>3309960
>Shorter men rarely have deep voices
what? why would this be correlated at all? sounds like nonsense
>>3309976
no old recording is still an accurate representation of their voice, maybe muddy, but that's the voice.
t. bedroom producer faggot
>>3309243
I'm surprised to not hear Taft take deep breaths between every word. They spoke so eloquently back then that the pitch of their voice is hardly noticeable or bad, like Teddy's.

I think it's best to let Lincoln rest without everyone hearing a recording or his high pitches voice. It's amazing, in this day and age, half our presidents probably wouldn't be elected due to their voices not being the quality needed in the superficial elections we have today. Some of our best possible presidents may have been passed up because they sounded like Paul Tsongas.
>>3309228
Can't... Unhear...
>>3310159
Lincoln probably sounded normal, it was his political opponents that we're giving the description of his supposed "shrill, high voice". People believed it since, unless you were there to hear him give a speech, how would you know otherwise?
>>3309967
Not that he wasn't a dick, but that's what an American politician should sound like, damnitall.
>>3310293
He's right in that FDR does it better though:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhtuMrMVJDk
Shame this accent is dead - as, I suppose, is the era of politicians sounding professional (or being professional, for that matter).
>>3310142
Taft wasn't bad, just a slow reader:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkqEm85ou-8
>>3309281
cant unhear
>>3310310
wat..?
>>3310308
Excellent president

hmmm...
>>3309281
Seems perfectly normal and America to me, but im british.
In general Americans on TV and in movies have nice voices, but the majority in real life sound awful as if their voice is in their nose.
>>3310310
Horseshit
>>3310310
seems legit
>>3310293
>generic American politician
>Southern/Texas accent
Mid-Atlantic accent or bust
>>3309179
Not realy a gay voice or a leader, but cool one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCXVAKvwnKM
>>3309889
>>3309281
The greatest American general sounds like a peter puffer
Not surprising
>>3309286
Stalin was 5'4'' (And allegedly 5'2'')
>>3309245
thith

Didn't expect it to be such high tbqh
Here's de Gaulle. Great voice.
Younger, and inexperienced as a public speaker:

So this is the gay thread?

>>3309281
This is what an old southern man sounds like. My Grandfather sounds pretty much exactly the same.
ever notice how theres a certain type of person, usually from an upper class urban backround, who has a REALLY gay voice? Its not the typical "gay accent" , just this really feminine and faggy voice tone, as well as really feminine body language. Im not a big tough guy at all, but they are just really pussy like
>>3309281
Truly the reincarnation of Caesar
>>3311382
I think you might be right
>>3309267
wow what a faggot
>>3309179
after perusing the clips of their voices. I don't see anything "gay sounding" about them. They sound like normal people to me.
>>3311382
Absolutely holy fuck. At college everybody spoke that way. Why the fuck is that acceptable? Is it because society is becoming more female centric? Im no tough gut either but it irritated me to no end
Without memeing which accent is gayer?
British or American?
I like the voice of Craig Ferguson
>>3311710
Those countries don't have one monolith accent. Regional accents of both nations can be masculine and some can be really faggy sounding. Manchester and midwestern accents are the best.
>>3309990
>Smaller drums rarely make deep sounds
what? why would this be correlated at all? sounds like nonsense
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDDJf6zG5hM
Apparently he was a squeaking cunt in real life.
>>3309179
not really a famous leader but i always found these interesting in regard to how early English really sounded like

>>3309179
he spoke russian with a heavy georgian accent, maybe that's why
>>3309179
Lenin sounds like a drunk bydlo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzf3FRSbEUk
>>3311946
thats not it. Its not the cliche gay voice, its just this weak sounding and effeminate voice that has an almost valley girl twang to it. Its hard to describe, but everyone whos heard it knows what it sounds like.
>>3309281
That quality is amazing

When he's doing speeches to a crowd Putin actually gets much deeper and doesn't pause anywhere near as much, but still
He's also way way smaller than you'd think, like even knowing he's only 1.7 metres tall doesn't prepare you for how squashed his proportions are
This is also, probably, the fault of the audio recording equipment and personnel, but in most of his speaking footage his swallowing and light coughing is really, really loud
>>3309990
why should taller person mean bigger voicebox? not all tall people are bigger in every single way. otherwise what you say makes sense
