“Adlai Stevenson, himself a notable speaker, often reminisced about his last meeting with Churchill. I asked him on whom or what he had based his oratorical style. Churchill replied, "It was an American statesman who inspired me and taught me how to use every note of the human voice like an organ." Winston then to my amazement started to quote long excerpts from Bourke Cockran's speeches of 60 years before. "He was my model," Churchill said. "I learned from him how to hold thousands in thrall."” YearsHumansLongSaidUseLastsVoiceStyleTaughtSpeechModelsMeetingsNotesInspiredOrgansSpeakersNotableStatesmenAmazementHuman Voice Author:William Bourke Cockran
