Get the Assume Supernatural Ability feat...cast Polymorph, into something (like a Medusa) with a supernatural gaze attack, while in the Sphere.

One issue that comes up in our game is, can you talk to someone through a Wall of Force/Forcecahe/Resilient Sphere/Telekinetic Sphere?
My character is a Wiz with the Dimensional Step feat, so short teleports are free. The Resilient Sphere is good tactical armor, when needed, since he can move in or out on a standard action. We've also used it as a fortress effect (Sudden Widen is nice for that) while we negotiate with an enemy.
But that last part requires sound to go through. Light does (we play as transparent but not totally invisible), but damaging light based effects like Sunburst and Searing Light can't damage through it. So we've sometimes played that safe levels of sound can pass through, but not sonic attacks.
