the BEST idea of how Lincoln sounded and looked when moving

based on a combination of expert voice analysis from historical research and relative to his approximate size (height/weight), and "video" developed over a period of time from a series of existing photographs of the former president.

@JeannineAnne lol yeah I know it is a little creepy, I just made this because there have been a lot of people wondering what Lincoln might have sounded like and this will give them a pretty good idea.

if he sounded like that, i don't think he would have been elected

@martdelcat (Presses signal-button) "Who is Theodore Roosevelt!"

or am I putting myself in jeopardy by even mentioning it!!?

I was expecting him to slip in a "diabeetus" somewhere in there.

It doesn't make much sense for Lincoln to have sounded too much like this. He came from Kentucky and had a drawl that was typical of that state. Plus, he would have been only about 54 yrs old and the "video" makes him sound like an old man.

I'd be very interested to know how one does "expert voice analysis" and can figure out how someone you've never heard speak would sound like.

@darius595 I agree. He sounds weak.

@Ihateoldyork What makes you think he sounded like that?
