The same thing is also shown in his public persona at the time, too. Most of the time, he wasn't ranting behind a podium; pictures & videos of him were like those of any other politician, just walking around talking to people or listening to them, shaking hands, smiling, and such. Even during speeches at a podium, he didn't spend the whole time screaming. The ranting clips we see now for a few seconds at a time are chosen to represent the way he's thought of now, not to represent what was actually going on during the majority of a speech. An effective speech-maker (which he was) knows you can't be yelling the whole time. You have to set up brief emotional outbursts like that with calmer, quieter intervals first.
