Poor Eleanor, with that voice! Now I understand what the biographers meant when they wrote about it. I think she learned to tame it though, over time.
A wisp of straw were worth a thousand crowns, to make this shameless callet know herself. Helen of Greece was fairer far than she, although her husband may be Menelaus; and never was Agamemnon's brother wronged by that false woman, as this president by her; she-wolf of America, but worse than wolves of America, whose tongue more poisons than the adder's tooth! How ill-beseeming is it in your sex to triumph, like an Amazonian trull, upon their woes whom fortune captivates! ...
... But that your face is, vizard-like, unchanging, made impudent with use of evil deeds, I would assay, proud queen, to make thee blush. To tell you whence you came, of whom derived, were shame enough to shame you, were you not shameless. It needs not, nor it boots you not, proud queen, unless the adage must be verified, that beggars mounted run their horse to death. It is beauty that doth oft make women proud; but, God he knows, your share thereof is small: ...
... It is virtue that doth make them most admired; the contrary doth make thee wondered at: It is government that makes them seem divine; the want thereof makes you abominable: You are as opposite to every good as the antipodes are unto us, or as the south to the septentrion. O tiger's heart wrapt in a woman's hide!
I agree that her voice is rather screechy, but it was cool to hear an actual recordng. She was an influential person and I am interested in hearing more of her speeches. Thanks for posting this :D

My understanding is that she hated her voice, especially because nervousness made it even higher than usual.
