Abraham Lincoln was also high voiced even though he was a large man. I-m 6-7- and I have a higher voice than someone just looking at me would assume as well. If I were to play armchair psychologist I would guess that the reason a lot of large men don-t talk in a deep voice is because they don-t feel the need to deepen their voice due to insecurity. I notice a lot of people who obviously talk deeper than what would be natural to them and I don-t see that as much with large guys because they don-t feel the need to seem more manly, they already are physically imposing. As someone who is very large, I can say that being bigger than most everyone else makes you more confident in yourself as a man, so you don-t need to try to seem manlier by deepening your voice because you-re already secure in your manhood. This is also why you see a lot of teenage boys who deepen their voice, because they are just coming of age and want to seem manly. Some men who are self conscious about their manhood for whatever reason carry this behavior on into adulthood. Whether this is a conscious or subconscious thing that people do, I don-t know, but I notice it nonetheless. Regardless, size goes a long way for a man-s confidence whether or not they want to admit it so when you are bigger than most other men, it gives you a tremendous amount of inherent confidence, conversely if you are smaller than most men, you may feel the subconscious urge to bolster your manliness and artificially deepening your voice is just one way that men do that. Personally I think it-s all ridiculous and size says nothing about a man-s worth but I am really big so I probably can-t understand. If I was small I might think differently, consciously or otherwise.

This was not lacking in insight. But Chevy Chase did no impression of Ford at all and that was fair enough as Ford left no impression at all. Langella's Nixon was brilliant and should have been analyzed. Anthony Hopkins' Nixon would have ruined any other actor's career and arguably should have ruined his.
OK, he covered DDL elsewhere. DDL did the best impression ever of anyone no one alive has ever heard speak. I bet his Socrates would have been killer.

I feel like Alan Rickman was cut out to be Reagan because this pause that demands attention is something that Alan Rickman did naturally. If you watch interviews and stuff, he always gave more weight to his words with pauses, even if what he said wasn't as serious. Even his jokes had suspense that made you lean in and listen intently: )

Perhaps I can speak for Washington's soft-spoken voice, as a fellow large man. At 6'7- and 290 lbs, people notice you when you walk into a room, and are often intimidated by your stature. A loud, booming voice is kind of redundant. A softer, friendlier voice may reassure others, that your large size is no threat to them.

I agree 100% with your assessment of Greg Kinnear in The Kennedy-s. He nailed the accent and the voice, and i think it doesn-t hurt that he resembles him quite a bit. His resemblance to Kennedy, combined with the way he was able to pick up the accent and the mannerisms made it pretty uncanny.

Best Washington in my opinion is Ian Kahn in -TURN-. Everything about the performance was flawless and exactly how I had pictured Washington. However, I do believe the accent was just a little too low to be historically accurate, but I-d love this guy-s commentary on Kahn-s performance

Bush is a fairly easy impression, but Will Farrell is not a good actor, he depends too much on the parodied attitude and impression than the real person. On the other hand Greg Kinnear's JFK, is scary good. As the narrator suggested, he nailed it.

I think it's time for another update. There were a lot of biopics recently, many of them bad. For example, I don't understand what Nicole Kidman was doing playing Lucille Ball. The mannerisms and accent were VERY different, jarringly so.

The sheer attention to fine detail Eric has and broad range of in depth knowledge he displays is nothing short of impressive. He is very informative and descriptive yet charismatic enough in his breakdowns to keep you interested

For some reason, I find these videos both fascinating and relaxing. Thank you for the intriguing content. Also, I cannot help but notice how BLUE his eyes look in this video, especially brought out by the jacket color. Nice choice!
