Last week, we hit peak holiday in-law mode: endless plates of food, questionable second servings, and the timeless family tradition of “is it Friday or next February?” 🤷🏼♀️ And now, here we are, fully immersed in blursday season. This time of year is a whole-🍑 vibe—half hustle, half holiday haze. We get it, though. Some days you’re powering through projects like a productivity ninja; other days, you’re wondering if cookies count as a food group. (Spoiler: they do.) So, what’s your December game plan? 📉 Full throttle, cruise control, or somewhere in between? Let’s hear it below—and bonus points for snack pairing ideas! 😁

<GULP!> We did it. 😲 Sound Spark Studios is stepping into the wild world of public speaking! 🎉 We just submitted our first-ever proposal to speak at a conference, and let’s be real, we’re both thrilled and slightly (wholly!) panicked! 😅 Got any secret tips you can share for first-time speakers? How do you turn that pre-speech panic into pure stage magic? What’s your favorite trick to keep the crowd buzzing? Drop your knowledge bombs in the comments! 💥✨ #SoundSparkStudios #PublicSpeaking #NervousButExcited #HelpUsOut!

These ladies are going places! Especially the "flight attendant" We must stop limiting our ladies. This is a future I can't wait to see!

After much debate, we did it. We put an offer on Fiverr. Last-minute holiday ads anyone? We could really use some good reviews :) We'll discuss what you need and then craft the perfect script, you'll approve it, and then we fully produce it, taking care to find the right music and sound effects, as applicable, to get your message across. We can do a 60-second spot if you'd prefer. I love those. They give you time to develop your story. Feel free to read more here. But also feel free to DM us here and let us know if you'd rather book directly. No problem.

It’s wild how things come full circle. Flashback to 10 years ago—I’m in yet another Tuesday morning meeting during my radio days, bored out of my mind, dreaming of something bigger. Already crushing mornings in a medium-sized market but not ready to move because of family ties. I looked left at the GSM and thought, 'Nope, not for me.' Looked right at the GM and thought, 'Hard pass.' Fast forward to today, and now I’m both those roles rolled into one, plus a few more, but this time I’m the boss! It’s tough, messy, and absolutely not for everyone. But I kinda love it. Have you ever looked at the 'next step' in your career and thought, 'Nah, I’ll do it my way'? What’s your best ‘boss move’ moment?

We know when it comes to voices, finding the RIGHT one make you a lil nutty. Here's a few tips on finding the right voice for your brand. If you have others, feel free to add them in the comments.

Life at Sound Spark is never boring, and yesterday was peak VO chaos in the best way possible! One of our favorite clients hit us with two projects—first, a revision on a tricky script (always love a redemption arc), and then a brand-new job from another client. Double the excitement! But of course, things can’t just go smoothly, right? Cue some car troubles that kept us out of the studio for a bit. No biggie. We got back, jumped into recording...and CRAP, there’s this weird popping sound all over the audio! (Pro tip: always double-check your settings.) After a quick fix and a late-night crash, we were ready to hit the ground running the next day. Alarm set for 7:30 AM, plenty of time to wrap things up and make our 9 AM Mastermind meeting. Except...we accidentally turned the alarm off and woke up at 8:30. 😳 Priorities kicked in—clients over Mastermind any day. Halfway through, we messaged the group, only to find out the meeting is actually tomorrow - Classic. This is the Sound Spark way: adaptable, quick on our feet, and always making it happen—even when life throws a curveball. Welcome to VO life! (For the record, we wouldn't change a thing!) #Mastermind #VOLife #Freelancer #VoiceOver #Copywriter #AudioProducer #CommercialProducer #AudioBranding

We've had dogs my entire life. I honestly can't remember a time without one—Snitz, Cleo, Mickey, Puddin', Spot, Crazy, D.O.G, Abernathy, Maggie... and then we were without a dog for a few months. 😢 I remember sitting at the kitchen table, juggling work and getting ready for a full day of business classes and coachings when my mom looked at me and said she was ready. Today. Now! RIGHTNOW! So, off we went to our local shelter, not looking for anything in particular—and that’s exactly how we ended up with Sable Sue. This sweet, troubled girl had been through so much. She was bussed up from Louisiana before hurricane Laura, (a Category 4) and had been living in shelters for years. She’d been abused and traumatized, but something about her—despite it all—just radiated kindness. 💞 (It's her eyes. My gawds, they can see right through you!) We weren’t looking for a 55lb dog, or a brindle, to be honest. But when Sable's eyes met mine, I knew we had found our girl. Our "squeaks" and lake-lovin' girl. Our Monster under the bed. Our Warden Four years later, I can't imagine life without her. Today is Sable Sue’s Gotcha Day, and it's a perfect reminder: The shelters are OVER-FULL of incredible animals waiting for a second chance. Please consider adopting or supporting your local shelter—you never know when you’ll meet your next best friend. #AdoptDontShop #SupportLocalShelters #GotchaDay #ShelterDogsRock #DogsRule
