Thomas Edison, William Jennings Bryan, Will Rogers, Winston Churchill, Adolph Hitler, and Joseph Stalin are among those who have made recordings that E. C. Buehler, professor of speech, has collected.
Professor Buehler's Collection Has 100 Recordings Of Famous Voices
"In the future the recordings of historical incidents will be valuable in teaching history." he said.
Professor Buehler has 100 records, including recordings of the voices of all the presidents from William McKinley to Harry S. Truman. His oldest record is of the voice of William Ewart Gladstone, Prime Minister of England, made in December, 1888. Prime Minister Gladstone sent the record to Edison to congratulate him on the invention of the phonograph.
Campaign speeches of the 1948 presidential election by Harry S. Truman and Thomas E. Dewey are his most recent records.
Professor Buehler's interest was aroused when he wrote a thesis for his masters degree entitled "Creation of Dramatic Atmosphere by the Reader." It was based upon the analysis of 4,500 individual scoring reactions to voice and pantomine in group situations.
He began collecting recordings in 1381. Some of his first recordings are Madame Schumann-Heink singing "Nacht," and "Casey at the Bat" by DeWolf Harper.
"Theodore Roosevelt, William Jennings Bryan, General Douglas MacArthur, and Franklin D. Roosevelt have the most vibrant and magnetic voices on recordings," Professor Buehler said.
The record of Edison's voice is "very youthful though it was made after he was 70 years old," he said. "President McKinley's voice is characteristic of an Eastern eloquated very polished and almost theatrical."
"Hitter's voice had a range of three and a half octaves. Hitler realized the techniques of speech and in "Mein Kampf" he refers to the magic power of voice 15 times," he commented.
President Truman's voice has changed considerably, he continued. Mr. Truman used to "sound like he was sitting on a bale of cotton, lifeless and dead. But in his campaign of 1848, especially at Pittsburgh, he gave the impression that he threw his manuscript away and spoke daringly and with a fire that came from within," Professor Buehler said.
"What goes in the ear is emotional," he said, when explaining the influence of voice. "There is a realistic creation of personality by voices over the radio, like Charlie McCarthy, Amos and Andy, and Baby Snooks. They are even more meaningful to us than the characters in the comic strips."
He has collected his records from individuals, commercial sources, National Broadcasting system, library collections and has made some of the recordings:
"Are You as Good as You Sound"
and "Famous Voices That Have Made History" are lectures in which he uses his records as illustrations before sales groups and organizations.
