From de facto sound, you're listening to 20,000 Hertz.

The story behind the world's most recognizable and interesting sounds.

I'm Dallas Taylor.

This is the story behind Foley.

Take a moment to really listen to a movie scene.

Anything an actor touches, moves, and walks on.

It's clean and super detailed.

But what you think you're hearing isn't always what it seems.

And none of it was recorded on the movie set.

Foley is the live performance of custom-made sounds set against picture.

These everyday sounds brought old-time radio to life and are the heartbeat of today's

movies.

Foley artists create these sounds out of everyday objects to make them feel real.

Foley came to the sky check Foley who really invented it and they were going to do showboat

and they needed some sound effects and they used radio sound effects the way they would

do clumping shoes and water, paddles and things like that.

That was really invented then for the talkies.

That's Fred Newman and even he has a hard time describing what he does.

I don't really have a title.

I think scam artists is the best because I'm just doing what I used to do as a kid.

That's what I do.

I honk for a living.
