11th September 1893 Parliament of World’s Religions at Chicago. A young monk from a far away country rose to deliver a soul stirring speech drew the entire world's attention to our Nation's rich history & strong cultural roots.

“Sisters and Brothers of America. [At this moment came the three minute standing ovation from the audience of 7,000] It fills my heart with joy unspeakable to rise in response to the warm and cordial welcome which you have given us. I thank you in name of the most ancient order

of monks in the world; I thank you in the name of the mother of religions; and I thank you in the name of millions and millions of Hindu people of all classes and sects.

The video that is doing rounds in SM claiming to be Swami Vivekananda's voice is not his. It is Subir Ghosh's voice. Ramakrishana Math has clarified it.
In 1893 technology for recording voice was very very limited.
the only gramaphone recording of Swamiji's voice has perished.

In the year 1893 technology for recording voice was very very limited.
The speaker has to put his/her mouth in a long tube and then speak a few words, which gets recorded.
in 1920, his Gurubhai Swami Abhedananda has given one speech
on All India Radio that’s available.

RKM had clarified that 'it is known that no recordings were made; Swami was introduced not by a woman as found in some of these recordings, but by Mr. Barrows
He is supposed to have had a sonorous voice & is said to have been good singer.
Concentrate on the message not the medium
