Yeah. I was just glad to see that posted so fans can stop having tantrums over not hearing the voice.

I know LittleJerry knows this, but to be fair, that clip wasn't from an actual episode; it's a good indicator, but Brian did that impression on an interview recently.
Elmo's history is really interesting; a newspaper clipping said he was originally to communicate through sounds, but Brian said he performed about eight sketches where Elmo was a bilingual Muppet (English and Spanish) who got obsessed with certain words, e.g. "Casa... casa".

Brian was still able to do his Telly voice so I would assume that's pretty much what it sounded like as well back in the day.

That one clip of David and Elmo at the Fix-It Shop (where Hunt performed Elmo) was from Episode #2011. https://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Episode_2011

I find it interesting how they weren't afraid to use different eras of Ernie in the same episode. I know that was a prevalent thing in the '80s, for any character who had been around for a while.
