Robert L. Mott has had a long career doing sound effects for films, cartoons, theater, commercials and for radio (such as Gangbusters, Philip Morris Playhouse and Perry Mason), and television including Ed Sullivan, Jackie Gleason, The Tonight Show, Playhouse 90, Captain Kangaroo and Bob Hope.

Mott won two Emmy Awards for his efforts on the NBC daytime soap opera Days of Our Lives; he was with the show on and off for three decades. He once said he taped the crackling sound of cedar burning during a vacation to his brother's cabin and used that slice of audio whenever a scene on the show featured a fireplace.

Twice nominated for Emmy's for Days of Our Lives (1965), he also wrote for Dick Van Dyke and Red Skelton. The Academy of Television Arts and Science selected him for its website honoring the legends of live television.
