  Crazy how these probably uber rich gentlemen didn’t predict that I’ll be hearing their voice hundred plus years later while I’m on the toilet

  Monty Python imitated this PERFECTLY. They were only born about 50 years after this was recorded, this would have been how their elders spoke.

  Every modern actor who has done an overly-hammy, olde tyme, harrumph, voice while portraying an aristocrat from that time period is officially exonerated. If anything they should be even hammier.

  &quot;For myself I can only say that I am astonished and somewhat terrified at the results of this evening&apos;s experiments: astonished at the wonderful power you have developed, and terrified at the thought that so much hideous and bad music may be put on record forever.&quot;<br><br>LMAOOOOOO

  &quot;And terrified at the thought that so much hideous and bad music may be put on record forever&quot; is an absolute banger of a line.
