Who told you that about the guillotine? They'd have zero blood pressure, how do you imagine they'd be conscious?

Strange, they never asked those condemned to actually utter some sound or mimic something, isn't it? Well, that's because residual muscle twitch is not controlled and is not conscious. Rapid drop of blood pressure renders the person (well, their head, in that case) unconscious within a couple seconds and it is downhill from there.

And because making sounds without lungs attached to your throat is kinda hard
