Thank you so very much for this! It's a luxury to be able to venture into the past with 70 years of retrospective knowledge. As they say, If we only knew then what we know now! One thing I just don't understand, there is one thumbs-down. How can anyone disapprove of the news and commentary from yesteryear? You can never logically disapprove of these things. Other than the editorials, they are arbitrary and random incidents. Again, I thank you.
I forgot what the accent was called. I believe it was called transatlantic accent but I could be wrong. But it was a mix of American and British accent. They used it on movies and radios so people listening could understand what they were saying! :)
@@kam_loves_cats The interesting thing is that even Helen Keller had a bit of a Transatlantic accent, so it's something she some how managed to pickup.
Because of the limitations of microphones and radio signals, people had to speak in a way that would amplify the mid tones. If you listen closely, the “s” and “t” sounds don’t sound very clear because they’re in the high tones, and there isn’t a lot of deepness or bass in their voice. If you tried to speak normally into a microphone from back then people wouldn’t be able to understand what you were saying over the radio. Many people today believe that people spoke with a “transatlantic” accent back in those days, but its not true. Because people spoke that way in radio, tv, and film there has been a ret conning of what people actually sounded like back in those days because there isn’t a lot of recordings of people’s normal accents. In reality your great grandfather spoke not so different from how you speak today.

I listen to.this at.night and fall asleep lol
Bro same lol
I think playing fallout changed my life forever lol
This helps me relax at night. I feel cozy with the heating on, beetroot soup in a mug and my cat curled up next to me. 🔥🍵🐈
I wish the Transatlantic accent was still in use. It's such a pleasant accent to listen to.

Love this! Thank you! Why do people voices sound so different back then? They even sound vintage
1950's American Accent, Mic & Audio are totally different.

It's their transatlantic accent. The accent fell into disuse in the 1960s.

The time when men were men.
Back when we were hunting communists not electing them to public office 👍👍👍👍
Shut the fuck up. Your cult leader lost and is a fucking fascist.
@@Rountree1985 Ok, NPC.
its a shame your expanse of the english language consists mostly of four lettered words. no need for this in a public forum.
