Hi!

Johnathan Edward's was more focused on a more calm, blissful, and quiet tone of voice.

On the other hand, George Whitefield's was concentrated on a more passionate robust tone of voice.

Hopefully, this helps! =)

George Whitefield preach wherever possible. He was called a "Divine Dramatist" that attracts crowd wherever he went. He possessed dramatical and rhetorical skills, and he spoke with great power. He had a loud, clear voice that could be heard by so many people. However, Jonathan Edwards was a complete opposite of Whitefield. He was known as a boring manuscript reader. That is the reason why he is ignored by many. It is said that he is heavily dependent on his manuscript that prevents any rapport to his congregation. He was one of the most mediocre the church had ever known. He had none of the eloquence or the powerful voice of Whitefield.
