I believe it was a guy singing a French folk song, it’s very distorted so it’s a pretty normal to think it’s just a squeak or something

@@oceanicstarline1899 Its 'Au Clair de la Lune'. As you said, a French folk song. But sung by a woman. It does become clearer if you listen to an updated version of the song first, kinda makes more sense then.

[@isaacbruner65]

@@lucasmucas2807 that wasn't Au Claire de la Lune, I believe that was Scott de Martinville's recording of a few lines from the 1573 Italian play Aminta by Torquato Tasso. And he was also the one who sang Au Claire de la Lune, the slowed down pitch corrected version confirms this.

For those of you struggling to decipher what Queen Vic is saying, historians believe she is making reference to her Golden Jubilee, which took place the year before the recording was made, in 1887; 'Britons, restless for their Queen to speak. Let me answer if can be. We all had a wonderful festival, and I have never forgotten' I think the recording cut off part way through her speech cos it doesn't make much sense but she was probably going to say she had never forgotten her people (in reference to her seclusion in the wake of Prince Albert's death, which caused a lot a political and public unrest at the time)

I find very funny very interesting that everyone in the past would give a heroic and majestic tone to its speech, even if someone would describe how they love their trousers there should be a brave tone to it; like an artistic interpretation, i dont know why they enjoyed to sound like this

[@erikeriks]

There are 2 possibilities in my eyes: 1. They didn't sound like this, it's made up by the guy who created this video. 2. They did sound like this but it's the same reason people from the 1900s couldn't hear how old they sounded. In 100 years people will speak different than us too.

[@platyclysm4633]

A lot of it has to do with how people perceived 'proper' speaking at the time. In North America, most public or formal speaking utilized what became known as the Transatlantic accent, while in Britain what we now know as Recieved Pronunciation was the equivalent. They were in fact mostly fabricated ways of speaking for use in public, simply because that's what people had been taught was 'Good English'.

[@653j521]

@@platyclysm4633 Transatlantic was invented to be transmitted the most clearly with early microphones.

It's amazing to me how formal everyone was way back then. Very gentleman like, lady like. Proper indeed. I had no idea the first audio voice recordings existed in the late 1800's.

[@rk.r2439]

Learning about people from the past has made me think of how different we are compared to them. Almost unimaginable and alien-like in a sense...but when I hear these recordings and their booming voices from centuries ago, I can't help but feel that there's no difference between the past and present us at all. They were once alive, on the same ground, looking at the same moon and stars, and living their small share of life that was given to them just as I am. So very human, and not at all the 'alien-like' that I once perceived them to be. It's hard to take in, really.

[@j.d.philipps288]

Unfortunately, due to the physical limitations of early analogue recordings, we are hearing these legends from the past not quite as they spoke in conversation with their contemporaries but how they had to SHOUT into the phonograph's horn receiver so that the stylus would make an impression into the wax cylinder. Only with the introduction of electric recording and amplification in the late-1920s could the human voice be faithfully reproduced with all its nuances.
