All of the movies today and most movies since The Jazz Singer in 1927 is all thanks to the ability to record sound and dialogue. That thanks can go to Thomas Edison and his invention of the phonograph, which was the very first successful recording of a voice.

This video is what Thomas Edison said in his first recording with the phonograph. This next video is an example of how the phonograph is used and works.



Jazz Singer was the very first movie to feature synchronized dialogue.

This movie as well as many other great musicals like Singing in the Rain and Sound of Music have made wonderful movies thanks to Edison's invention and the constant advancement of that technology. The use of multiple kinds of microphones and audio editing software has all branched from the phonograph and shows how people can greatly improve and advance inventions that were originally a milestone.
