Voiceover Studio offers FREE Kitty with Every Session!

Weeeeeeeel almost. 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 SunSpots Asheville studio.

Sleepy Kitty at SunSpots Asheville Recording Studios waiting for her new home

She, (we've been calling her Spot or SunSpots), needs a nice loving home. She gets along well with Buzz, 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.

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."

Couldn't have said it better ourselves. Please write Janet (at) mysunspots.com to ask any questions or discuss adopting this wonderful cat.

You can also talk to Janet about scheduling voiceover talent too or search on our SunSpots web site for professional voice talent and book online.

Thanks and Happy Mew Mew To You!

Asheville Addy Awards This Saturday

Asheville Ad Federation

Asheville's chapter of the American Advertising Federation is holding their annual awards ceremony this coming Saturday.

From their website:

Advertising's answer to the Oscars, the ADDYs is a party not to be missed. See all types of ad creativity revealed in all its glory (e.g., ad campaign, direct marketing, sales promotion, newspaper, television, mixed media, and more.) Guaranteed to be raucous and wild, come see amazing feats of our ad community's best talent at The Venue in downtown Asheville!

No mention of radio? Say it ain't so! I'm sure someone's submitted some creative radio spots. If not, well...come talk to us. SunSpots produces Addy Award winners for markets all over the country.

We wish all the agencies the best of luck!

Happy Anniversary Google!

Google, no longer just "search engine" Google, is celebrating their 10th anniversary this week. Can you believe it's been 10 years? Can you believe what it was like BEFORE Google hit the web? Can you believe so many of us passed up buying Google stock at $80 a share? lol I did on that one. Thought they wouldn't be around long. OUCH!

What a massive player and global powerhouse they've become. They stuck with their dreams, focused on excellence and became much more than just successful. Their name even became a verb!

I wonder how so many of us would never be found without Google being on the web. A few years ago, after a technically savvy employee left us, we were absolutely lost in Google's results. We were ranking in the 800's or worse.

Through three years of effort we (SunSpots Productions) now show up at least in the Top 20 results in Google's search engine or mostly on their front page. For example search for "voice talent agent", "spanish voice talent", "creative audio production", "voice talent", "audio production", "asheville voice talent", "orlando voice talent" and there we are on the front page or number one out of millions of pages. It was all done while wearing a white hat too! (SEO peeps know what I mean.)

So thank you and congratulations Google! You've inspired and changed our world. I hope the next 10 are full of positive innovations and useful products for us all.
