Apart from a period of crisis during my adolescence, when my voice was changing and I could not tame it - it was like a kicking foal that does not listen to reason - I have always been told I have a pleasant and recognizable voice.
Being in a band with three guitar players, one thing you need to do is learn to make each guitar voice sound separate and identifiable.
A good voice isn't so important. It's more important to sound really unique.
I feel like the falsetto is my niche and my sound and something different.
'Jessica Jones' is its own animal, I think each one of these series is its own animal. There is some connective tissue, in terms of referencing the Marvel Universe, but it glances off of the other stories.
When we come on the radio, people will go, 'That's Old Dominion,' 'cause it's a sound that can only be made by whatever the five of us make together.
I notice the older I get, the more my speaking voice turns people around. Even if they have no idea who I am, they know they've heard this weird nasal disaster somewhere before.
My voice has always been kind of distinct - even when I was four years old, my mom told me that people would be like, 'Why does your daughter always sound like a chain smoker?' I've always had this deep, raspy voice.
Brownstein's is a fresh and jaunty voice, with a jazz snap all his own.
It's really odd, but whatever we do and whatever style we might tackle, we always sound like us.
Each album always has its own sound.
What I can offer the game is creating a sound that, when you hear it, you know it's mine.
Starting out, I bet I didn't get a lot of parts because of my strange voice. I'm not consciously thinking, 'Hey, sound like a squeaky dog toy mixed with a bagful of rusty nails.' It's just what my voice has done.
It's different, I don't sound like anyone.
I'll always remember when I first heard Lester [Young]. I'd never heard anyone like him before. He was a stylist with a different sound. A sound I'd never heard before or since. To be honest with you, I didn't much like it at first.
My voice has a lot of character and kind of doesn't sound like a lot of people's.
One of the main things I look for in a guitarist is in the sound itself. I go for a certain sound, and I think it's an important thing for making a player more identifiable in the big giant pool of musicians out there. You want a sound that people will recognise just as much as your playing.
My voice is so recognisable. I'm like a foghorn walking round shops on my phone.
As a horn player, the greatest compliment one can get is when a person comes to you and says, 'I heard this saxophone on the radio the other day and I knew it was you. I don't know the song, but I know it was you on sax.'
I think Young Thug has such a weird style I love, especially the things he does with his voice. It just sounds different.
I love The Edge's guitar style; it is unique. There is an ancient world resonating in his guitar sound.
