The Voices of Famous Historical Figures from the 1800s and 1900s 

I thought the same thing. I think a lot of us did.

@@susank8371 we all did

His most famous works are mostly from the early-mid century so that's probably why. He was from a long time ago he just lived longer than most.

Pablo Picasso passed away in 1973 at the age of 91. He was prolific in more ways than one.

What about Vincent van Gogh who passed away in 1890 even though so far, I always thought he was way earlier.

uh the part where he says we don't want heaven too cramped. kinda pissed me off. like some Hierarchy. just found out that was a joke. i didn't catch it right away

Kscott McCauslin Yes, it’s an old joking rhyme from the 1600s I believe.

Drunk probably

Sounds like the Kingpin from the Spiderman cartoon

@@mysteryakatsuki Wilson Fisk lol

I could only make out a few garbled sounds. With the recent technology advances in just the past couple of years, I bet there's a way to clean that up.

Prussian, Speaking or have spoken ​​High German but there were also many dialects. They all sound very friendly if you can speak German. I can still speak a bit of my grandma's Low Prussian. Unfortunately, many have been lost. There are still an extremely large number of German dialects (lower Westphalian, Hessian, low German, Saxon, sometimes there is still German-Silesian in eastern Saxony Dialect, Bavarian, Swabian) and there are still different dialects but most of them speak normal standard German. There were a number of dialects, some remained, some were simply no longer spoken, others died out. Dialects are actually frowned upon. Klaus Kinski, a famous German actor Which I think Nosferatu played and was famous for his freaks could also speak lower Prussian.

This ties into how he looked like the British king’s twin, as he was also german. House Windsor used to have a german name but changed it during WWI for obvious reasons

@@solgerWhyIsThereAnAtItLooksBad Yep. Battenberg - - Mountbatten

​@@Nghilifano batternburg and mountbatten is also english, the real name was saxe-coburg und gotha

meanwhile: *there is no place in heaven for you.*

Teddy Roosevelt is pretty much how I expected

Perhaps the recording can be cleaned with modern techniques.

@@TheEmeraldMenOfficial it theoretically can, but it’s too scuffed up to be cleaned. It can lose a lot of characteristics and detail. I think it’s too scuffed up

@@jogui I think they mean that by isolating and removing certain parts that were obviously not originally there, the recording can be made more intelligible

Harvard accent.

i expected something more "manly" and gruff

But, he did have a New York accent! It’s just a rich New York accent. The accent of the rich families of Oysterbay. Locust valley lockjaw, they call it. It’s a very specific accent for a very specific class of people from the northeastern United States. Theodore Roosevelt’s accent was quintessentially lockjaw; utterly northeastern blue blood.

He always said speak sofly and carry a big stick.

Churchill not curch hill

“Church Hill”

Eyy can anyone give me some context to what he was saying.

It was a quote from a poem I think.

You can tell Ivy league from regular college.. all of them are educated Universities but them Ivy league schools give you an accent that sticks with you for life.

Damn right I did

@@36thpresidentlyndonbainesj32 Guess Death lost his fight with you: welcome back Teddy!

@@36thpresidentlyndonbainesj32 you're a badass president im sure you did not understand what I said

Why did I think Roosevelt had a Southern accent?

Back then sound was recorded on wax cylinders and this locomotive sound is the cylinder rotating :)

Then those people would have imagined if the technology was in 15th century or during Mongolian empire and so on.

@@creatorlight4346 14th century

Imagine that this technology exists in ancient Egypt.

We could finally hear Napoleon's voice

Tkain selfies while kicking out the British and removing the the monarchy.

Tyu, Tyu!

Otto von choo choo train

Chugga chugga chugga chugga

He's actually speaking English; "In good old colony times, when we lived under the king, three rougeish chaps fell into misshaps because they could not sing"

@@malfattio2894 very neat

@Swape Swap how about salvador dali???

Wealth helps a lot. Picasso is surprising since paint still had lead back then.

They didn’t live that long most of them only lived to like 70-80 which is subpar or average, 95-120 is super old

HNNNNNNNNNNNNGHH!

Bahahaa

😂😂😂

😂😂😂

Well I'll be damned.

Churchhill would be first in line to enter the gates of hell with the feet of millions of Bengali dead of starvation on his back side vengefully propelling him forward right into the maw the abyss.

Later in life he built Hydrofoils. I live on Cape Breton Island and have visited his house, grave and of course the museum. The museum has a full replica of the HD4 Hydrofoil and the hull of the original craft that you can touch.

No, he didn’t. I have heard his voice before. His accent was Virginia southern. Upper crust.

It's the sound of a wax cylinder rotating

I love that recording, such strange sounds in there! The whistling, the weird bird sound, Tchaikovsky’s squeaky voice 😂

Also the recording of Sir Arthur Sullivan.

I think the most famous MacArthur video is where he's giving his "old soldiers never die -- they just fade away" speech to Congress.

Really?

Of course he did He was known for them

I have a book of just jokes Churchill made. For example: when he was running for MP in 1900, he was talking to someone who said “Vote for you? Why, I’d rather vote for the Devil!”. Churchill said “Yes, but in case your friend is not running, may I count on your support?”. He won the election, and so began 60 years of career in government.

@@TheEmeraldMenOfficial , 💯🔥 Savage

And Edison moving and talking

Never thought I would

Likely a worn Edison wax cylinder.

хах кек

Well he was Spanish

@@SpeedyWings2323 Catalan

Dali created Dali. It was his greatest work. ;-)

R.I.P George Washington. :(

Time Traveller _ you would never be able to hear his voice. He died to far back

@@lolyouremadkid2806 Lol You're Mad Kid.

Mii 2.0 how am I mad?

@@lolyouremadkid2806 Just mocking your name. xd

Oh..... do I have news for you...
