If his voice was high pitched, it just shows that our standards now in electing leaders have gone too far toward Hollywood. Some of the greatest minds come from introverts, or those who don't speak in a way that we love to hear, or whom don't have a magnanimous presence. Yet we go for the polished presence that I dare say, oft is not the brightest in the room. Look at Obama :(.

@whatsnxtnow I've read the same thing about Lincoln's voice -- high pitched, etc., with curious pronunciation (e.g., he pronounced "chairman" like "cheer-man"). Nevertheless, through the ages, I think our imagination envisions a Gregory Peck-type voice, and I agree 1000 % that the text, per se, is perhaps one of the most compelling speeches ever written.

I have always loved Peck's voice and delivery.

hes a great actor, unfortunately of the past, he's a great man can articulate words with immense truth.

Gregory Peck recited this at the Crystal Cathedral on Robert Schuller's HOUR OF POWER weekly television program. I remember seeing him recite it there. Wonderful weekly church service with great guests and great messages.

Regarding how Lincoln's voice actually sounded like : I've read many, many times that Lincoln's speaking voice was oddly high-pitched , and the opposite of pleasant to the ears...
-so incredible intellectually - not so much in the audio !

I teach my nine year old son at home [in England] and we have chosen The American Civil War as his newest project. We have listened to many people reading the Gettysburg Address but this one, read by Gregory Peck, was the most moving. I know he was one of the greatest actors, but he really made us 'feel' the speech. Thank you for putting this on YouTube!

P.S. I also read there is not one single word in The Gettysburg Address that could be taken out without changing the meaning... i.e. there is not one needless or uneeded word...
reading it always gives me chills

i know that in real life lincoln had a really strong kentuckian accent but whenever i read some of his work i always imagine a voice like gregory peck's.
