Timing is important with music.
And because performing for a game involves real acting. The way they create a game is very similar now to how they create a film. I’ve always wanted to stretch my acting skills, and the timing being what it is, I couldn’t say no.
Timing is important with music.
Everything is about your movements and precision and timing, which is what gymnastics is about.
‘Bum’s Rush’ is a piece about timing, and everything that’s in the piece needs to be with the piece. If people are missing, or marking, or unable to use their voices, the impulses that prompt the action are lost, and its logic crumbles.
Music is very similar to comedy: It’s all about texture, timing, context, vocabulary, performance. When someone’s onstage doing a solo, essentially it’s the same thing as what a comedian does. They’re in the moment. They’re listening.
Even as a coach, sometimes you forget the little intricacies of the offense, the details of the routes, the timing of the footwork, and the timing of the offensive tackles with the different sets that they have.
Time is found in the calibration of the individual to the timing of a collective endeavour, the social grace that less clock-bound societies must practise.
As in life, so with television: timing is everything.
I’ve never considered stand-up. Luckily I’m given great lines to say. I’m not sure how great my timing would be if I actually had to come up with my own jokes.
It’s good to keep in mind that prominence is always a mix of hard work, eloquence in your practice, good timing and fortuitous social relations. Everything can’t be personalized.
My advice always is to start very simple and master your timing and master the most simple beats that you can, and you just keep elevating from that. Trying to go right into playing fast is not necessarily the best way to go about it, because if you don’t have your foundation locked in, it’s hard to progress.
Comedy isn’t necessarily all dialogue. Think of Buster Keaton: the poker face and all this chaos going on all around him. Sometimes it’s a question of timing, of the proper rhythm.
The real important things are kindness and a sense of humor. I’ve been fortunate to have dated and could have easily married women who have those qualities, and time and circumstances didn’t work out. Timing plays a big part.
I am first, and foremost, an actor. That’s what I am. To me, a song is a mini-drama. My musical ability informs the actor as well because it gives me a sense of timing that non-musicians don’t have. So, one hand washes the other.
Politics at bottom is not all that complicated. It’s all about timing.
What makes Broken Lizard, I think, is our timing.
My best advice to actors is if you love acting, do it every chance you get. Success does not mean success. All that matters is whether or not you’re doing your best to entertain. The way this business works is all about luck and timing.
You’d go in, read the script once for timing and then you would sit around and play games. The sound effects people would come in and we would do a dress rehearsal so they could get the effects and the music cues in place. Then you would wait until you went on the air.
In the case of Five-O, I believe it was a combination of many ingredients – timing, chemistry, Hawaii.
Timing has a lot to with art.
Think about the deflections. The offense can’t score every play. They’re just trying to get a good shot. If I can deflect a pass, even if it doesn’t cause a turnover, it will throw their timing off half-a-second. That half-a-second might mess up their shot.
You don’t have to swing hard to hit a home run. If you got the timing, it’ll go.
Heading is still a vital part of being a striker, and it isn’t about being the biggest player. Heading the ball is about timing, so work on that in training.
In the early ’90s when the American independent movie started, it held personal vision as a premium. That was brilliant timing.
When it comes to everybody else’s thing and their lane and their timing, I’m never doing anything intentional to, like, come after somebody. That will always be my biggest mistake or anybody’s biggest mistake if that’s their intention.
Acting is all about timing. I mean, who has better timing than the MCs?
My parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles were all funny, and I felt that energy, that delivery, that timing, that sarcasm. All that stuff seeped into my brain.
It’s going to come down to executing, trying to keep guys off balance and disrupting timing. That’s something you can do regardless of how many times you face a lineup or face certain hitters.
Timing is crucial for comedy.
Timing is everything.
I’ve learned over the years to appreciate God’s timing, and you can’t rush things; it’s gonna happen exactly when it’s supposed to.
Hitting is timing. Pitching is upsetting timing.
Just because you used one set on one guy and had success doesn’t mean you can use that exact set, that exact timing, the next time.
Everybody’s been blessed with something, and my gift is my timing. Let’s face it, it’s all about keeping time and having a groove.
Striking isn’t just about kicking and punching. It’s far more complex than that. It’s also about timing and range.
