<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">SunSpots Productions is
grieved to announce that our friend and former Florida studio manager, exceptional
producer and versatile voice talent, James “Zak” Miller has passed away after a
sudden heart attack.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Zak was there at the
beginning of our Florida studio. He was discovered working on the radio in the
Orlando market by SunSpots Chief Engineer, Jay Patrick. Zak helped us build the
Florida SunSpots Productions studio through hard work, long hours and his enthusiasm for
the craft. What was it like in those early SunSpots days? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="background: white; color: #373737; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Being on the ground floor of SunSpots was a very exciting
time. To be a part of the growth and formation of a company like SunSpots with
the ideals and approaches to the industry will always remain a special memory.
To be able to raise the industry standards and what is and was expected from a
production studio and talent agent was a great feeling. SunSpots changed the
way I approach life, business and relationships.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">He was incredibly efficient
behind the console making clients happy with his editing skills and
friendliness. He made it a point that every session was creative, productive and most importantly, enjoyable for clients and voiceover talent alike. As a talent
himself, he knew how to get the best performances from voice talent. He always knew where to push and where to hold back keeping positive results in mind. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Zak became an expert with
ISDN and digital connection technologies and would offer his assistance with
talent and studios that were new to real time studio to studio recording. Even
after leaving SunSpots, he could still be counted on to help other voice talent
set up their studios and problem solve technical issues. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Often at the end of a long
day the staff would gather outside around his pickup truck to share some adult
beverages and chat about the ups and downs of the day. He would hold court with
tales of clients, talent, technical issues, hobbies and memories of his brother,
Tom, who had died a few years earlier. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">He told me that he’d
reconsider his position with us when his daughter, Jade, turned 18. When she did, he decided
to go out on his own doing voiceover work and production. We were
disappointed, but knew he really wanted his independence to live his life his
way and not drive an hour to work as well. So he moved to the place that brought
his spirit joy, the beach. He was able to surf and voice when he wanted. Even
though he left the company, he still remained on our talent roster and a
favorite of many clients. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Zak was a giver. Whether he

autism learn how to surf</span></a><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> or helping a
friend install a ceiling fan, he was there. He was one of the hardest workers
I’ve ever known. He worked in the rain spreading sand to avoid flooding at the
Florida studio during a tropical storm. He’d get splattered painting walls in
the studio building. If you needed something, whatever it was, he’d get it
done. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">James “Zak” Miller was a vibrant, generous soul with a contagious smile and a positive attitude. He will be sorely missed
by so many friends, his former coworkers at SunSpots, talent and studios around
the world and by his family. We’re all broken hearted by his sudden death. If
there’s a heaven, he’s catching long rides and big waves with his brother. </span></div>

You've got just a few hours left to get your tax credit for charitable deductions for 2015 and we thought we'd share some of SunSpots staff members favorites.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However, first it's good to find out who the best charities are. Who are the ones using their money for the cause they support and not staffing or advertising? Who does the most with the money they bring in? Charity Navigator is a superb resource for investigating and rating charities of all sizes. <a href="http://www.charitynavigator.org/" target="_blank">Visit their site and search for your favorite charity to see how they rank.</a></div>

I discovered that one of the most visible veteran's charities, the <a href="http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=12842#.VoWwuTa-xA0" target="_blank">Wounded Warrior Project,</a> didn't score as well on Charity Navigator as lesser known organizations that help vets and their families. That's why I personally give to <a href="http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=11553#.VoWxTja-xA0" target="_blank">Homes for Our Troops</a>, which helps build and/or retrofit homes for service men and women who've been injured in Iraq and Afghanistan. Here's <a href="https://www.hfotusa.org/" target="_blank">Home for Our Troops web site</a>. Check them out. They may not have major celebrities singing their praises, but they are doing the good work for vets and their families who need it most. </div>

Many of the SunSpots crew are dog and cat owners and support the national missions of the <a href="https://www.aspca.org/ways-to-give" target="_blank">ASPCA</a> (https://www.aspca.org/ways-to-give). Though they're effective ads, even <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/nation/2015/12/31/78121114/" target="_blank">Sarah McLaughlin</a> admits she has a hard time watching those she did the music and voiceover for. They're powerful, touching, compelling messages and we're behind the good they do for all animals.</div>

Locally (we have studios near Asheville, NC and Orlando, FL), the two Tom's of SunSpots are both fans of Asheville, NC's <a href="http://www.bwar.org/" target="_blank">Brother Wolf Animal Rescue</a>. Our studio dog, Buzzy came from Brother Wolf in 2010 and is snuggled up against my right side as I write this. Brother Wolf has been recognized in 2015 by readers of Mountain Xpress as the #1 Volunteer Opportunity, #1 Animal Shelter, #1 Activist Group and #1 Nonprofit Organization in the Asheville area. Congrats to them and their unwavering compassion for all animals great and small. I'm also a fan of the <a href="http://slal.org/" target="_blank">South Lake Animal League</a> in Groveland, FL. <br />

Karin, one of our voice talent coordinators who works remotely from Michigan, offered this when I asked her about her favorite charities:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">This year, my daughter’s first grade class adopted a little boy for Christmas through the <a href="http://centralusa.salvationarmy.org/plymouth/angelprogram" target="_blank">Salvation Army's Angel tree program</a>. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The child they adopted was 6, just like them! My daughter was really motivated to raise money for the class to buy gifts and necessities (coat, shoes, clothes) for their adopted friend. She drew pictures and sold them to our neighbors for donations! I love that she thought outside of the box as to how to help someone in need. Not only did she donate money, but she got our neighbors excited to be involved in helping a little boy in need! </span></blockquote>
Like Karin, Tom K. in Asheville, is also a supporter of the local Salvation Army.<br />
<br />
Karin loves her local chapter of <a href="http://lansing-mi.toysfortots.org/local-coordinator-sites/lco-sites/default.aspx" target="_blank">Toys for Tots</a>. She and her daughter were visiting their area ToysRUs and discovered the Marines had already landed!<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">We went in one day to almost bare shelves! The workers said the Marines came in and went wild buying toys for local kids :) Love that we were able to see this is charity in action!</span></blockquote>

Our brand manager, Barbara, introduced me to the fun of filling a shoebox for kids around the world with the charity, <a href="http://www.samaritanspurse.org/" target="_blank">Samaritan's Purse</a>. Was a blast trying to pick out toys and necessities for kids of different ages that would fit in the boxes. Last year our boxes went across the globe to Burundi. Seeing the kids smiling faces as they opened their boxes was worth fighting the crowds at the Dollar Store before Christmas. You can donate directly with them today for the tax deduction or wait till next year and fill some shoeboxes with treats. (Filling the boxes is more fun!)<br />

Shannon suggested <a href="http://www.marinemammalcenter.org/" target="_blank">The Marine Mammal Center </a>as one of her favorite charities. She's a life long animal lover...of all kinds! Here's what the The Marine Mammal Center describes as their mission:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Our mission is to expand knowledge about marine mammals—their health and that of their ocean environment—and to inspire their global conservation. Our core work is the rescue and rehabilitation of sick and injured marine mammals.</blockquote>
She's also a supporter of the <a href="http://www.nrdc.org/" target="_blank">Natural Resources Defense Council</a> who work to save the planet from being "smooshed". (My word, not hers.)<br />
<br />
Others mentioned were locally based church groups near parents such as the <a href="http://www.ljchurch.org/tp40/default.asp?ID=185581" target="_blank">Lake Jackson TX Church of Christ</a> (...they're having a tasty pulled pork dinner on 1/6!), <a href="http://www.stpaulswoodworth.com/" target="_blank">St. Paul's Lutheran Church</a> in Woodworth, IL and the <a href="http://www.biltmorecofc.org/" target="_blank">Biltmore Church of Christ</a> in Asheville, NC.<br />
<br />
Another favorite is the <a href="http://americanhumanist.org/" target="_blank">American Humanist Association</a> (we're a varied staff ;-) ).<br />
<br />
Hope this gives you some last minute inspiration to research and donate to your favorite charity. Hurry though, you've got just a few hours to make the deadline for a 2015 tax deduction.<br />

Peace and Harmony</h4>
"I'd like to teach the world to sing...", it's a song many boomers know from their youth. The Mad Men finale suggested, via Don Draper's smile while on the hilltop in his mediation class, that he had created the Coke commercial. Just what Don needed to restart his life; a dash of Ad Man nirvana!<br />

Don's smile and the Coca-Cola ad gave us a positive feeling after a finale that seemed rushed and incomplete. I'd hoped it'd been a two hour show to add some finality and give us a bit more than a few seconds or minutes with each character. (Though yay for Peggy's new love!)<br />
<br />
Don's breakdown at the retreat seemed to renew him and led viewers to believe he was inspired to return to McCann-Erickson Advertising Agency in New York and create some timely branding for Coca-Cola (One of his goal accounts). The message in the spot was what was needed in a post-60's America, especially after the turmoil and violence from the late 60's, not only in the USA, but around the world as well.<br />
<br />
<h4>
The Real Story about the Real Thing in 1971...</h4>
What's the true story behind this Mad Men moment?<br />
<br />
From the Coca-Cola Company:<br />
<blockquote>
"I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke" had its origins on January 18, 1971, in a London fog.
Bill Backer, creative director on the Coca-Cola account for the McCann Erickson advertising agency, was flying to London to meet up with Billy Davis, the music director on the Coca-Cola account, to write radio commercials with two successful British songwriters, Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway, to be recorded by the New Seekers, a popular British singing group.
The heavy fog in London forced the plane to land in Shannon, Ireland. Passengers had to remain near the airport in case the fog lifted. Some of them were furious about their accommodations. By the next day, Backer saw some of the most irate passengers in the airport cafe. Brought together by a common experience, many were now laughing and sharing stories over snacks and bottles of Coca-Cola. Backer wrote of the scene:
"In that moment [I] saw a bottle of Coke in a whole new light... [I] began to see a bottle of Coca-Cola as more than a drink that refreshed a hundred million people a day in almost every corner of the globe. So [I] began to see the familiar words, 'Let's have a Coke,' as more than an invitation to pause for refreshment. They were actually a subtle way of saying, 'Let's keep each other company for a little while.' And [I] knew they were being said all over the world as [I] sat there in Ireland. So that was the basic idea: to see Coke not as it was originally designed to be -- a liquid refresher -- but as a tiny bit of commonality between all peoples, a universally liked formula that would help to keep them company for a few minutes."

When he finally arrived in London, Backer told Billy Davis and Roger Cook what he had seen in the airport café. After he expressed his thoughts about buying everybody in the world a Coke, Backer noticed that Davis's initial reaction was not at all what he'd expected and asked him, "Billy, do you have a problem with this idea?"
Davis slowly revealed his problem. "Well, if I could do something for everybody in the world, it would not be to buy them a Coke."
Backer responded, "What would you do?"
"I'd buy everyone a home first and share with them in peace and love," Davis said.
Backer said, "Okay, that sounds good. Let's write that and I'll show you how Coke fits right into the concept."

Too much money for a spa? Doesn't take much to create a beautiful annual/perennial basket for her porch or a sunny window. Find plants that don't grow too large and pack it full of color! It'll last much longer than any cut flowers. <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+make+a+beautiful+container&client=safari&rls=en&tbm=isch&imgil=yeaJf5-vuwBlNM%253A%253B4MCluyDFWOk8VM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fhomesdir.net%25252Fbeautiful-container-garden-for-a-small-yard%25252F&source=iu&pf=m&fir=yeaJf5-vuwBlNM%253A%252C4MCluyDFWOk8VM%252C_&usg=__MGM4ISNeVxATm70oRg1AMMJMRoY%3D&biw=1453&bih=977&ved=0CCoQyjc&ei=TMxJVeKMD8XRtQXfoYHoBA#imgrc=yeaJf5-vuwBlNM%253A%3B4MCluyDFWOk8VM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fhomesdir.net%252Fwp-content%252Fuploads%252F2012%252F12%252Fcontainers-garden-designers-beautiful-instant-garden.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fhomesdir.net%252Fbeautiful-container-garden-for-a-small-yard%252F%3B1600%3B1200" target="_blank">Ideas for container gardens.</a></div>

Give her the gift of time. No, not a watch. What about chores at her place? Maybe detailing her car? Cleaning her floors? Doing yard work for her? Helping pack up goods to give to a charity. You'll help her out (giving her more time for that spa visit) and have some quality bonding too.<br />
<br />

Imagine having Mom's child's voice wishing her goodnight or starting her quiet Sunday morning with something like this...<br />
<audio controls="controls">
<source src="http://www.sunspotsproductions.com/mom.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"></source>
<embed height="25px" width="50px"></embed>
Your browser does not support this audio

<br />
You could have a professional voice talent from SunSpots Productions record special messages for her! (Of course we can do that!)<br />
<br />
<br />
There's a few imaginative ideas to give Mom a very special Mother's Day this weekend! Happy Mother's Day to all those Moms doing their best and loving their children of all ages.<br />

Happy Mother's Day from your friends at SunSpots Productions!</div>

(The Voice Talent that is...)<h3>
You Want Your Voiceover Now</h3>
Say you're a creative director at an ad agency and you've got some broadcast audio to produce. As usual, you're on a tight deadline. The client wants it right away and your boss wants it even sooner and...everyone wants it done cheaply.
<br />
<br />
You look online and find the talent you want either directly or through some service. You want to direct the session live and get the audio immediately. Well... "I offer 24 hour service", says one talent. Another says, "I can hook up via Skype and we can see each other, then I record and you listen. Then I'll edit some files together and send those to you in a few hours...if my internet is stable."<br />
<br />
You know where this is going, don't you?<br />
<br />
<h3>
The SunSpots Difference</h3>
<div>
What SunSpots Productions offers is immediate, high quality audio interaction between you and the voiceover talent and supervision and recording by professional audio engineers. Want to hear take 4's intro married to the end of take 9? Done. Need to choose music and sound effects during the session? Done. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Our thing, if you will, our reason for being, is to provide you with the most professional creative audio experience you'll find in real time and affordably. Wherever you are, we can connect. We can conference call to bring your other creatives and client (if you dare) in to the session too.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Will you save money elsewhere? Yes, you <i>will</i> save money initially. Will you get the product you want? If you need it fully produced today with multiple regional tags and multiple voice talent performing...probably not. And you'll be throwing good money after bad as you recast or regroup or reevaluate that creative director position you fought so hard for.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
I Want it Cheap!</h3>
<div>
(Hey I wanna be thin...)</div>
<div>
Quality doesn't come cheap. Neither does it have to cost a fortune. When you're working with a team like SunSpots you know you've hired the right voices and right producers at the right price, to make your product sing or talk or giggle or do whatever it's been written to do. </div>

They both were featured on NPR's Fresh Air with host Terry Gross discussing the film, the male dominated voiceover world and the master of the male voice-over, Don Lafontaine.<br />
<br />
Here's an excerpt from the interview on what drew them to voiceover work:<br />
<br />

You know, the idea of blind voice was very alluring — because in a way you weren't judged by what you looked like, you could be any character and create any characterization. ... It's the only medium where you can be anyone, any social [level]<em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></em>, any nationality, any gender, for that matter."</blockquote>

[Voice-over acting] has always been my waitress job. I got out of drama school in 1981 ... and I've never had to have another job outside of being a performer. ... And it's strictly because I do voice-overs that I was able to tough it out through the periods [when] there was scant work, which is something that happens to all actors."</blockquote>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Being able to play so many roles behind the mic is what draws many of us to the voiceover business. How about you? What made you decide to make the leap from normal job to getting paid for speaking for a living? Sometimes, speaking funny for a living. Even better, making an enormous living as a voice actor.</div>

"Siri, who's the voice of Siri?"<br />
<div>
"<a href="http://www.sunspotsproductions.com/Voice_talent_detail.cfm?id=606" target="_blank">Susan Bennett</a>!", Siri replies with a wink.</div>

And Susan recently confirmed it as true to reporters at CNN. "...i<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">t seemed like everyone was clamoring to find out who the real voice behind Siri is, and so I thought, well, you know, what the heck?

That's what prompted Susan to speak up. It's become such a national news event that she voiced David Letterman's Top 10 "Things you don't want to hear on your iPhone", on Monday, October 7th.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">She recorded bits and pieces of sentences and phrases in July 2005, spending over 4 hours a day working out the various verbiage that editors would later edit to create the now familiar semi-synthesized sounding voice.</span></span></div>

By Jessica Ravitz</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
SANDY SPRINGS, Georgia (CNN) — For the past two years, she’s been a pocket and purse accessory to millions of Americans. She’s starred alongside Samuel L. Jackson and Zooey Deschanel. She’s provided weather forecasts and restaurant tips, been mocked as useless and answered absurd questions about what she’s wearing.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
She is Siri, Apple’s voice-activated virtual “assistant” introduced to the masses with the iPhone 4S on October 4, 2011.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
Behind this groundbreaking technology there is a real woman. While the ever-secretive Apple has never identified her, all signs indicate that the original voice of Siri in the United States is a voiceover actor who laid down recordings for a client eight years ago. She had no idea she’d someday be speaking to more than 100 million people through a not-yet-invented phone.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
Her name is Susan Bennett. (<a href="http://www.sunspotsproductions.com/Voice_talent_detail.cfm?id=606" target="_blank">Listen to Susan Bennett's SunSpots voiceover demos</a>.)</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
Apple won’t confirm it. But Bennett says she is Siri. Professionals who know her voice, have worked with her and represent her legally say she is Siri. And an audio-forensics expert with 30 years of experience has studied both voices and says he is “100%” certain the two are the same.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
Bennett, who won’t divulge her age, fell into voice work by accident in the 1970s. Today, she can be heard worldwide. She speaks up in commercials and on countless phone systems. She spells out directions from GPS devices and addresses travelers in Delta airport terminals.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
Until now, it’s been a career that’s afforded her anonymity.<br />

</div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
But a new Apple mobile operating system, iOS 7, with new Siri voices means that Bennett’s reign as the American Siri is slowly coming to an end. At the same time, tech-news site The Verge posted a video last month, “How Siri found its voice,” that led some viewers to believe that Allison Dufty, the featured voiceover talent, was Siri. A horrified Dufty scrambled in response, writing on her website that she is “absolutely, positively NOT the voice of Siri,” but not before some bloggers had bought into the hype.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
And there sat Bennett, holding onto her secret, laughing and watching it all. For so long she’d been goaded by others, including her son and husband, to come forward. Her Siri counterparts in the UK and Australia had revealed their identities, after all.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
So why not her? It was her question to wrestle with, and finally she found her answer.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
“I really had to weigh the importance of it for me personally. I wasn’t sure that I wanted that notoriety, and I also wasn’t sure where I stood legally. And so, consequently, I was very conservative about it for a long time,” she said. “And then this Verge video came out … And it seemed like everyone was clamoring to find out who the real voice behind Siri is, and so I thought, well, you know, what the heck? This is the time.”</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<b>The Siri surprise</b></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
The story of how Bennett became this iconic voice began in 2005. ScanSoft, a software company, was looking for a voice for a new project. It reached out to GM Voices, a suburban Atlanta company that had established a niche recording voices for automated voice technologies. Bennett, a trusted talent who had done lots of work with GM Voices, was one of the options presented. ScanSoft liked what it heard, and in June 2005 Bennett signed a contract offering her voice for recordings that would be used in a database to construct speech.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
For four hours a day, every day, in July 2005, Bennett holed up in her home recording booth. Hour after hour, she read nonsensical phrases and sentences so that the “ubergeeks” — as she affectionately calls them; they leave her awestruck — could work their magic by pulling out vowels, consonants, syllables and diphthongs, and playing with her pitch and speed.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
These snippets were then synthesized in a process called concatenation that builds words, sentences, paragraphs. And that is how voices like hers find their way into GPS and telephone systems.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
“There are some people that just can read hour upon hour upon hour, and it’s not a problem. For me, I get extremely bored … So I just take breaks. That’s one of the reasons why Siri might sometimes sound like she has a bit of an attitude,” Bennett said with a laugh. “Those sounds might have been recorded the last 15 minutes of those four hours.”</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
But Bennett never knew exactly how her voice would be used. She assumed it would be employed in company phone systems, but beyond that didn’t think much about it. She was paid by the hour — she won’t say how much — and moved on to the next gig.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
The surprise came in October 2011 after Apple released its iPhone 4S, the first to feature Siri. Bennett didn’t have the phone herself, but people who knew her voice did.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
“A colleague e-mailed me [about Siri] and said, ‘Hey, we’ve been playing around with this new Apple phone. Isn’t this you?’”</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
Bennett went to her computer, pulled up Apple’s site and listened to video clips announcing Siri. The voice was unmistakably hers.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
“Oh, I knew,” she said. “It’s obviously me. It’s my voice.”</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">

It certainly does sound like Bennett. But proving who supplied the voice of Siri isn’t easy. It’s not like Steve Jobs sent Bennett a thank-you note, or a certificate to hang on her wall.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
There are others who vouch for her. But the tech world — and specifically the text-to-speech, or TTS, space — is a complicated business, one that’s shrouded in secrecy and entangled in a web of nondisclosure agreements.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
Bennett is not bound by such restrictions, which is why she’s talking. But the industry has a vested interest in keeping their voices anonymous.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
“The companies are competing to create the best-sounding and functioning systems. Their concern is driving revenues,” said Marcus Graham, CEO of GM Voices. “Talking about the voice talent, from their perspective, is likely seen as a distraction.”</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
Bennett’s attorney, Steve Sidman, can’t breach attorney-client privilege to share documents and contracts, but since he began representing Bennett in 2012 he’s been intensely aware of her connection to Siri.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
“I’ve engaged in substantial negotiations — multiple, months-long negotiations — with parties along the economic food chain, so to speak, that involved her rendering services as the voice of Siri,” he told CNN. “It’s as simple as that.”</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
Graham won’t divulge details about any deals he made back in 2005. But he has worked with Bennett for 25 years, has recorded “literally millions of words with Susan” and has installed her voice with clients across the globe. He knows her voice as well as anyone, and he doesn’t hesitate when asked if she and Siri are the same.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
“Most female voices are kind of thin, but she’s got a rich, full voice,” he said. “Yes, she’s the voice of Siri. … She’s definitely the voice.”</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<b>A ’100% match’</b></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
In October 2005, a few months after Bennett made those recordings, ScanSoft bought and took on the name of <a href="http://www.nuance.com/index.htm" target="_blank">Nuance Communications</a>. Nuance is the company widely accepted to have provided to Apple the technology behind Siri.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
When CNN contacted Nuance to try and confirm Bennett’s identity as a voice of Siri, a Nuance spokeswoman said, “As a company, we don’t comment on Apple.”</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
Apple, too, declined to comment.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
So CNN took the investigation one step further by hiring an audio forensics expert to compare Bennett’s voice with Siri’s.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.audioforensicexpert.com/" target="_blank">Ed Primeau, of Rochester Hills, Michigan</a>, has been doing this work for three decades. He’s testified in courts, analyzed “hundreds, if not thousands” of recordings and is a member of the American Board of Recorded Evidence. He spent four hours studying our “known voice” — in this case Siri — with the unknown voice of Bennett.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
“I believe, and I’ve lived this for 30 years, no two voices are the same,” he said, after finishing his analysis of the Siri voice and Bennett’s. “They are identical — a 100% match.”</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
To reach his conclusion Primeau created back-to-back comparison files, lifted and listened to consonants and reviewed deliveries. He took the hiss off the Siri sound, created in recording from a phone, and dropped it into Bennett’s file.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
After studying Bennett’s normal speaking voice, he was about 70% certain of the match. But once he had audio of her saying the same words as Siri, he knew his work was done. Even so, he said he asked a colleague for a second opinion.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
“I understand the importance of accuracy,” Primeau said. “Rest assured: It’s 100% Susan.”</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<b>How CNN got this story</b></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
This isn’t the sort of story I’d naturally go after. Technology is far from my beat. In fact, the first time I ever spoke to Siri was on my work phone — the kind that’s plugged into a wall jack and has a tangled cord attached to the handset.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
Bennett was a voiceover artist I was interviewing for a CNN special project on the world’s busiest airport — Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International — scheduled to come out next month. I was tracking down the airport’s voices, and she, a voice of Delta terminals, was one of them.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
In the course of our phone conversation, I asked her to rattle off some jobs she’s had over the years. She gave me a quick and general rundown and then added that she’s done a lot of IVR work.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
“IVR?” I asked.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
“Interactive voice response,” she answered. “The sort of thing you hear on a company’s phone system.”</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
For reasons I can’t explain — I was still struggling to understand my first iPhone — I blurted out, “Hey, are you Siri?”</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
She gasped. And then I gasped.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
“Oh my God,” I said. “You’re totally Siri, aren’t you?”</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
What followed was a short, panicked flurry of non-denials and non-confirmations, and a promise from me that I wouldn’t do or say a thing.</div>

That was months ago. About two weeks ago, after the confusion over the Verge video, Bennett reached out to me. She was ready to speak as herself and set the record straight.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">

<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
As a child, Bennett’s favorite toy was a play phone-operator system, a big red block with a receiver and lines she could patch in to help imaginary callers make their connections.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
Years later, while singing jingles, she was tapped to be the radio and TV voice of First National Bank’s “Tillie the All-Time Teller,” the first ATM machine. Though that was about 40 years ago, she can — and does — still break seamlessly into the high-pitched song.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
“I began my career as a machine many years ago,” Bennett said. “I’m sure that you hear my voice at some point every day.”</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
But the way she is heard was a surprise even to her.</div>

Music and singing had always been a part of Bennett’s life. At Brown University, she sang in a jazz band and also with another group at the Berklee School of Music. After graduating, she toured as a backup singer with Burt Bacharach and Roy Orbison. Today, she and husband Rick Hinkle — a guitarist, composer and sound engineer — still play in a band, mostly at private events.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
She fell into voiceover work by chance in the 1970s when she walked into Atlanta’s Doppler Studios for a jingle job and the voiceover talent was a no-show. The studio owner looked around and said, “Susan, come over here. You don’t have an accent. Go ahead and read this.”</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
She did, and a new career path was born.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
Bennett wasn’t always accent-free, though. She was born in Vermont and grew up all over New England. Her voice — dropped Rs and all — was “SNL”-skit ready. Can she imagine Siri as a New Englander? “Neva! Neva!”</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
A stint in upstate New York helped her lose the accent. By the time she arrived in Atlanta in 1972, with her first husband, former NHL player Curt Bennett of the Atlanta Flames, she was ready to fight off the Southern twang. She fell in love with Atlanta and, after that marriage ended, stayed.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
Even though her voice can be heard everywhere, she’s enjoyed being out of the spotlight.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
“You have a certain anonymity which can be very advantageous,” she said. “People don’t judge you by how you look … That’s been kind of freeing in a lot of ways.”</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<b>‘Part of history’</b></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
The idea of coming out as the voice of Siri was one she pushed aside. It probably wouldn’t<br />
have even occurred to her if not for the goading of others, including her 36-year-old son — whom she, and he, jokingly refers to as “Son of Siri.”</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
“Her voice has been everywhere throughout my life. I’d call my bank while I was in college in Colorado, and it was my mom telling me I had $4,” said Cameron Bennett, a photographer in Los Angeles.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
He first found out she was the voice of Siri while watching an iPhone 4S commercial on TV. There, on the screen, was director Martin Scorsese talking to his mother. When Cameron bought the phone himself, she began barking at him through its GPS feature, prompting him to yell, “Mom, stop!”</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
“She’s part of history,” he said. “It was funny trying to explain to her how big it was. She uses her cell phone for 8% of what it can do.”</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
When Bennett upgraded her phone and first talked to … well, herself, she says she was a little horrified. It was weird, to say the least. But she was blown away, she said, to play a part in such a technological feat.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
Being the voice of Siri, though, doesn’t mean she’s immune to the sorts of frustrations others sometimes have with the technology.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
“But I never yell at her — very bad karma,” Bennett said. That said, she knows not everyone is as gracious: “Yes, I worry about how many times I get cursed every day.”</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
Now, though, with iOS 7 she is passing the telephonic torch to a new Siri. Bennett would be lying if she said she wasn’t a bit disappointed, but in her field of work she’s learned to expect evolution — and even revolution.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
As technology improves, and the concatenation process becomes less robotic and more human, Bennett thinks anything will be possible.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
“I really see a time when you’ll probably be able to put your own voice on your phone and have your own voice talk back to you,” she said. “Which I’m used to, but maybe you aren’t.”</div>

Let's get those facts straight. A small, female, calico cat showed up at our studios near Asheville a few weeks ago. Here she is pictured in our new kitchen at the <a href="http://www.sunspotsproductions.com/Voice_Talent_Contact.cfm#sunspotsnorthcarolinamap">SunSpots Asheville studio.</a><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div></td></tr>
</tbody></table>She, (we've been calling her Spot or <a href="http://www.sunspotsproductions.com/">SunSpots</a>), needs a nice loving home. She gets along well with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002134060163">Buzz</a>, our studio pup. Too many voice talent have allergies so we have to give her up. She's affectionate and operates an excellent purrbox when properly inspired. She's an indoor cat who's been checked by a vet with no feline leukemia or other issues. Doc thinks she's around 7-8 years old and 7 pounds. She likes to be pet and has a sweet voice/meow. Litterbox trained.<br />
<br />
And now a message from her..."mew mew mew" Translated, "Please adopt me. I want to lie in the sun in your living room and curl up in your lap at night."<br />
<br />
Couldn't have said it better ourselves. Please write Janet (at) mysunspots.com to ask any questions or discuss adopting this wonderful cat.<br />
<br />
You can also talk to Janet about scheduling voiceover talent too or <a href="http://www.sunspotsproductions.com/Voice_Over_Talent_Search.cfm">search on our SunSpots web site for professional voice talent and book online</a>.<br />
<br />
Thanks and Happy Mew Mew To You!<br />

With Japan suffering multiple earthquakes and tsunamis today many of us are wondering what we can do to help. I've put together a list of organizations and websites that will help the people of Japan and others in the Pacific. The need is money, not goods. Please donate what you can to help survivors of this very large disaster.<br />

We've just had a position open up at our <a href="http://www.sunspotsproductions.com/Voice_Talent_Contact.cfm#sunspotsfloridamap">Florida recording studios near Orlando</a>. We're looking for someone with office management experience in the advertising agency, talent agency, recording studio, entertainment or hospitality industry. We're seeking someone with superior problem solving, communication, controlled multi-tasking, time and people management skills. Bilingual Spanish/English is a plus. Must be skilled with the latest Mac OS, Filemaker, Microsoft Office apps. Knowledge of ISDN codecs is important, but not required. Knowledge of Photoshop, Dreamweaver, CSS and HTML is a plus. Social media skills are essential. Knowledge of how to get those pesky stains out of the carpet is helpful too.<br />
<br />
<h3>Be Xtreme!</h3>We value people who understand the importance of the team environment and who believe in extreme customer service. Not Xgames xtreme...thankfully, we don't require the use of any helmets. One of the reasons SunSpots has become a global leader as both a licensed voice talent agency and creative audio production company is our above average customer service to our clients. Our creative team members in North Carolina and Florida go more than the extra mile, and we expect people who join us to have the same mindset of "excellence in all things".<br />
<br />
<h3>Employee Benefits</h3><ul><li>Health Insurance</li>
<li>Paid Vacation</li>
<li>Retirement Plan</li>
<li>Performance Bonuses</li>
</ul><h3>Send Your Resume Soon!</h3><blockquote>Office Manager Position<br />
<br />
SunSpots Productions<br />

Ocoee, Fl<br />

<h3>Smart+Funny=Success</h3>Ever notice how people who are smart and funny just seem to naturally succeed? That's the type of person we want to hear from. We like people who are internally motivated to do their jobs well, who think and not react, who aren't in a rush to leave at the end of the day, who enjoy working with creative people and who thrive on organized chaos. This is also a perfect position for someone who does part-time voice over work. Nothing better than working at a voiceover studio with voice booths in the center of the building just steps away.<br />
<br />
<h3>It's A Magical Wonderland!</h3><a href="http://www.sunspotsproductions.com/Voice_Talent_Contact.cfm#sunspotsfloridamap">SunSpots Florida voiceover studios</a> are located in Ocoee, in greater Orlando. We're just 20 minutes from <a href="http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/">DisneyWorld</a>, <a href="http://www.universalorlando.com/home/home.aspx">Universal Studios</a> and <a href="http://www.seaworld.com/orlando/default.aspx">SeaWorld</a> parks. The <a href="http://www.hardrock.com/locations/cafes3/cafe.aspx?LocationID=89&MIBEnumID=3">Hard Rock</a> and <a href="http://www.houseofblues.com/venues/clubvenues/orlando/">House of Blues</a> live concert venues are also nearby. The <a href="http://www.nba.com/magic/index_main.html">Orlando Magic</a> and downtown Orlando are just 15 minutes east. We're 1 hour from watching the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean and 1.5 hrs to see a glorious west coast sunset over the Gulf of Mexico. The <a href="http://www.orlandovenues.net/other_info_files/bob_carr_centre.php">Bob Carr Performing Arts Center</a>, <a href="http://www.omart.org/">Orlando Museum of Art</a>, <a href="http://www.osc.org/">Orlando Science Center</a>, <a href="http://www.mennellomuseum.com/">Mennello Art Museum</a> are all close by. The downside? Traffic sucks and it gets very hot during the summer. <br />
<br />
<h3>No Calls Please<br />
</h3>You understand that we're busy serving our client's and talent's needs so we can't take calls about this job opening. You may drop me an email if you have questions: tom a.t. mysunspots dot com. (Plus, we're short a person too, remember.)<br />

Best of luck to you!<br />

A British Columbia Advertising Agency is seeking zombie interns. No, really. <br />
<blockquote><br />
"What we want is creativity," Doug Brown, <a href="http://www.copelandcom.com/">Copeland Communication's</a> managing director, said Tuesday.<br />
