I don’t really care how I sound.
Dancing has a continuity of its own that need not be dependent upon either the rise or fall of sound or the pitch and cry of words. Its force of feeling lies in the physical image, fleeting or static.
As a DJ, people expect a certain sound and a certain danceability for the music. As a producer, I really like to let go of any rules that may exist.
Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak.
I thought the best thing you were supposed to do was find somebody and try to sound like them.
There’s something about the sound of a train that’s very romantic and nostalgic and hopeful.
That Mississippi sound, that Delta sound is in them old records. You can hear it all the way through.

I love performing. I love the people. I sound like Liza Minnelli right now, don’t I?
I still love the whole history of jazz. The old things sound better than ever.
I have this old ’57 Porsche Speedster, and the way the door closes, I’ll just sit there and listen to the sound of the latch going, ‘cluh-CLICK-click.’ That door! I live for that door. Whatever the opposite of planned obsolescence is, that’s what I’m into.
I’m definitely going to miss hearing the sound of that gun.
People like me sound like a lot of big cannons.
Sound principles and eternal truths need to be frequently repeated so that we do not forget their application nor become dissuaded by other arguments.
Rumors sound of galleries asking artists for upsized art and more of it. I’ve heard of photographers asked to print larger to increase the wall power and salability of their work. Everything winds up set to maximum in order to feed the beast.
It might sound dramatic and a little grandiose, but as a Latina, I would like to be someone that gives a voice to my culture.
I really got into Three Doors Down – that’s the sound that was out when I was 12 or 13. I really loved Breaking Benjamin and bands like that.
Sound in a space affects us profoundly. It changes our heart rate, breathing, hormone secretion, brain waves. It affects our emotions and our cognition.
A system of morality which is based on relative emotional values is a mere illusion, a thoroughly vulgar conception which has nothing sound in it and nothing true.
Why would you create a movie for black people if you don’t understand the history and perspective of the people you are doing it for? You need historical perspective to make sound decisions.
I know guys in my hometown that drive by feel and sound.
A bass should sound like a bass with the thump of the finger against the wood, like it began with stand up.
I don’t sound disloyal, but I’ve never had a pair of Marvel pyjamas or underwear. I do have a lot of Marvel figurines at home in a cabinet. Every time they make a new Marvel figure I put it in my cabinet.
I have a high range. Sometimes I sound like Stevie Winwood. Some people say I sound like Peter Gabriel. Some of the songs I write are funky. Others are slow. Some are ponderous, and some are there to shock. I must say some are pretty damn good, too.
It’s not about how loud you turn the amp up. That’s not what makes it sound big. What makes it sound big is fooling around with different delays and reverb settings.
You’ll find that empty vessels make the most sound.
Watching the scenes out of New Orleans, if you turn down the sound it could be the Sudan or any Third World country. But it’s not. it’s the United States of America.
Everyone has said I got my own sound.
My main influence is Kool G Rap and Cam’ron, pretty much. If you were to mix those two people up, I wish that would be me… This is my voice. I sound like nobody; I sound like me.
When you’re onstage and the audience is smiling and singing and bopping along and you’re all on the same level, it’s the best feeling in the world. It may sound dumb and corny to say it, but it’s like pure love.
My uncle is from Trinidad, so, ever since I was 7, I grew up listening to Soca, the genre that’s from there. It’s my favorite sound.
It can only sound one way with the Prodigy – vicious, banging and, yeah, incites a riot.
I’m fascinated with myself and love hearing the sound of my own voice. I’d like to hear what I have to say. A lot of people don’t like being alone because they truly don’t like themselves, but I love me.
I’ma sound like all your favorite rappers.
I don’t like being told what to do, and I don’t need to be told what my record should sound like.
Wishful thinking is not sound public policy.
When all the routines and details and the human bores get on our nerves, we just yearn to go away from here to somewhere else. To go fishing is a sound, a valid, and an accepted reason for an escape. It requires no explanation.
In journalism it is simpler to sound off than it is to find out. It is more elegant to pontificate than it is to sweat.
It takes a great man to give sound advice tactfully, but a greater to accept it graciously.
He who is not impressed by sound advice, lacks faith.
In the beginning, there was silence. And out of the silence came the sound. The sound is not here.
Once you have an established song, you can really come out of your shell and experiment with the sound you want to make.
I found a sound that people really liked – I found this basic concept and all I did was change the lyrics and the melody a little bit. My songs, if you listen to them, they’re quite a lot alike, like Chuck Berry.
The three great elemental sounds in nature are the sound of rain, the sound of wind in a primeval wood, and the sound of outer ocean on a beach.
Not to sound corny, but intelligence is big. Everything fades, and everything can be modified. But intelligence is something you can’t fake. I’m not even talking about whether you can read a thesaurus backwards. But there is a beauty in common sense.
I have witnessed how education opens doors, and I know that when sound instruction takes place, students experience the joys of new-found knowledge and the ability to excel.
I think the fans really wanna hear the songs the way they sound on the record.
I hope to make a positive, productive contribution, as cheesy as that may sound.
I fell in love with hip-hop at an early age as a culture, as a sound, both from the perspective of a fan and a creative outlet.
Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying, or else you say something true, and it will sound like it’s from Neptune.
Yes, it’s true – I love the roar of the crowd. When the fans are with you, their voices come together in a big booming rush of sound that you can actually feel in your body – almost like a wave that lifts you and carries you past your own limits.
You are born with a sound; everyone is, less or more. And this sound has to be developed. I am not talking about vocal technique; I am not talking about how to sing. I am talking about how to produce a sound.
I look good. I feel good and not to sound conceited I sound great.
Prince might be bringing that low sound back, because he has that double bass.
I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
Attempts to tame the wayward and domesticate the riotous, to make the unknowable predictable and enchain the free-roaming – all such things sound the death knell to love.
I’m versatile with my sound. I can switch it up a lot.
I have enough trouble just speaking normal Australian. On ‘Vikings,’ we had a great vocal coach who helped make all of us sound the same. But I’m very bad at accents, to be honest.
There were no rules, other than that the song should sound good and be fun to play.
Useless knowledge can be made directly contributory to a force of sound and disinterested public opinion.
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.
As far as animatronics, I started out in college working for Tom Holman. He was the inventor of the THX sound system. Through him, I got an internship at Lucasfilm.
My songs always sound a lot better in person than they do on the record.
It is always sound business to take any obtainable net gain, at any cost and at any risk to the rest of the community.
In order to lift a certain object from the ground, we have to use energy. But then to sustain it at that level, we have to keep on adding energy, or otherwise, the object falls to the ground. It’s exactly the same thing with the sound.
My strongest hope is for a cameo as a band playing in a club visited by the detectives on ‘Law & Order: SVU’ during the course of an investigation, maybe during sound check, or something, so they can force us to stop playing while they question the sound guy.
The sound of a kiss is not so loud as that of a cannon, but its echo lasts a great deal longer.
The extent to which all people in our society are made to count, and believe that they count, is not just a measure of decency; it makes sound economic sense.
