About SunSpots Voice Talent and Creative Audio Production:

Voice Talent Agency, Voice Over Recording, Creative Audio and Post Production for radio commercials, tv commercials, web audio and more: Here are some details about SunSpots and who we are and what we do.

SunSpots Productions™ is celebrating our 12th Anniversary in 2008 serving the world's voice over and audio production needs. We've grown to become a global supplier of professional voice talent and audio production by keeping our focus on one thing: To make your job easier. It's true. That's why we offer you hundreds of choices of the world's most professional Union and Non-Union, male and female voice talent. One of the reasons SunSpots has become so popular with advertising agencies is that our voice talent "get it". We work with only the best in the business from our ISDN equipped studios in Asheville, North Carolina and Orlando, Florida. Unlike many voice talent providers on the net we record the talent, produce the audio, distribute the audio to radio and tv stations through Slingspot and DG systems, if needed and more. More importantly, unlike some other voice talent providers, we are an American owned company based in North Carolina and Florida. These days, keeping business here in the United States is more important than ever.

A little SunSpots history:

We were founded by a successful voice talent and his business partner in 1986 as the Cassidy Company, evolving into SunSpots about 12 years ago. Business partners Thomas Rohe and Janet Walton were raised in farming communities in Maryland and Illinois, respectively, and grew up practicing the small town values of hard work, fairness and doing your best in all things. We believe in treating our employees, our voice talent and our customers the same way we would want to be treated.

If your clients aren't producing their broadcast audio with Spanish speaking voice-over talent they are missing the fastest growing demographic in the United States. To grow their business they need to take advantage of the explosive growth of the hispanic marketplace and position themselves as innovators in this positive economic population. According to the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the Hispanic population in cities such as Orlando, FL, Little Rock, AR and Washington, DC grew 250%, even faster than in traditionally Hispanic metro areas such as Houston and San Diego, where it went up 235%. Merrill Lynch notes the number of Hispanic households with incomes more than $100,000 a year increased 126% between 1991-2000, compared to 77% for the general American population. Just imagine how high those figures have grown today. Remember, If your clients aren't advertising in Spanish their competitors are or soon will be. Contact SunSpots for your Spanish voice overs today and we can help deliver your message to El Mundo Español with Hispanic voiceover talent. Call Suzanne today at 800.884.7632 to get your message out in Spanish.
