This video extract is taken from a US TV documentary on voice and body language.
Steve Nallon provided the voice of Margaret Thatcher, the UK Prime Minister from 1979 to 1990, for the satirical television series SPITTING IMAGE. Steve also appeared as Mrs Thatcher in numerous television series in the 1980s, notably THE NEW STATESMAN, RORY BREMNER, WHO ELSE? and THE MIKE YARWOOD SHOW. Steve continues to this day to voice Lady Thatcher for films, radio and television.
What amazes me is how a man can impersonate a female voice so well It all depends on the depth of the voice and tone. Steve has a light voice so can do it really well.
Thatcher was impersonating a man.
Have you not watched Kids in the Hall? 😂😂
Steve your Maggie impression might be the best ever.
Spoiler: it is.
His only one.
wow! the expert did a brilliant impersonation, kudos
who's here because wacthed the crown
The voice on the crown sounds like crap. It sounds like she's about to keel over and die and nothing like the real MT
yeah i came because i was sure that gillian anderson was hamming it up, but then remembered that Thatcher did sound kinda weird. but yeah, after watching this the voice really was at daft levels in the Crown. knew it.
Raises hand! 🙋🏻♀️ I love Gillian but the super raspy voice like a dying old lady made me googled up for Thatcher’s real voice. I do think she overdid it.
I haven't watched 5he crown at all, but all of a sudden my recommendations are full of the royals, Margaret Thatcher. And weirdly, Gordon Ramsay too!?!
Where the hell did Gillian get that cracking ugly voice from?
I would love to hear Maggie's voice read an excerpt from 50 shades of Grey.
1:53 That trasition though...🤣
How talented is he WTF? My mind blown out!
I think she also learned to imitate the upper class accent. I was just watching documentaries about the last dukes and members of British aristocracy, and their accents sound similar.
Lala it’s called reverse pronunciation
ffi1001 It’s called Received Pronunciation. People of her generation we more exposed to RP and taught to speak like that, perhaps particularly if you went to Grammar school.
What do you mean, "last dukes"? They are still making them on a regular basis.
Oh man😂😂😂 you do her voice so well.
I actually like her old voice
It's not really her old voice, as she grew up she had a regional accent which sounded pretty coarse
Gillian Anderson should have watched this. She sounded way too low and patronising. There weren't times she brought out the shrill voice.
Agreed. She sounded cartoonish
excellent impression!
The voice tend to become darker and heavier with the age. Most singers, for exemple, suffer with this ageing of the voice in their careers. For exemple, when one listens to Maria Callas speaking voice in her thirties during interviews and then to her speaking voice in her fifties... It is impressivehow it changed. It is impossible for someone with such dark heavy voice to be able to sing high notes properly.

exactly. silly analysis, but not so silly, considering he's making money off this stuff . further, anyone who speaks with emotion will speak differently, unless faking the emotion. using that as an example is again silly ....(or clever, if you know your audience will swallow it happily)
👀 And the Oscar goes to...
woooowww...
This is absolute genius!
Damn, Steve's so on point!
How inciteful, , I mean you can’t write it!
Oh it was a very full and altogether lower voice since the very beginning I think,
it just got exaggeratedly deep later on..
Amazing impression in any case.
for a while I thought the mike yarwood lass did a good one but this is a bit better. the best
I imagine learning how messed up the world actually is can also effect the way a person speaks. Along with age
0:43 My God, I am getting cancer from laughing...
Very good
I don't see it so high like she was famous for
Is there any clue for us to improve our speech like she did?
She haunts us even from the grave :(
Very good prime minister. I hope my country will get similar free market enthusiast.
Whoa
What do you think was her accent at the beginning of her career? And how did it change?
Some people say they can hear a Lincolnshire accent early on in her career. That's where she came from.
Isn't It a bit sexist that kind of analysis? I Wonder if there are cases of male political voices studied this way... Women really have to be thanked for their patience in standing such points of views.
Studying tonal differences in voices is sexist? You’re a bright one, aren’t you
@@dr.johnson5189 thanks you i am Indeed
@@sophieb7897 Of course.
I find her first natural tone of voice very beautiful and for me it sounded totally OK. Her new voice is also cool but it's like adjusting to the male, lower pitch. I also find it sexist to mock her first voice. I also don't hear anything mockable.
She had elocution lessons so not really sexist or any other kind of ism
She was far from sexy though. Lol
