[A cartoon forest. BARNABY BADGER bursts out of a burrow, hugging a giant cereal box]
Well, hello, breakfast people! Barnaby Badger here, and I've been digging all night!
Dig, dig, dig! And look what I found! Bramble Bits! Crunchy little oat nuggets with real blackberry bits tucked inside! Every spoonful's a treasure!
[beat]
What? These crumbs? Of course I didn't eat any on the way up. Much. Hardly.
[breath]
Bramble Bits. Worth digging for!
What it is for: A classic cereal mascot bursting onto the screen with a product and a tag. Trains big, bouncy character energy that still delivers product copy clearly. Coach's note: Watch out for losing the product details inside the character. 'Crunchy little oat nuggets with real blackberry bits' is the line the client paid for, so land it. The fib on 'Much. Hardly.' is the character moment. What casting listens for: Casting listens for a warm, lovable mascot voice that could carry a whole campaign.
[A cartoon spaceship bridge. COMMANDER CRUMB, a square-jawed captain made from a single cereal flake, salutes the camera]
Attention, cadets! Breakfast launch in T-minus ten seconds!
Report! Whole grain rockets? Check! A crunch you can hear from orbit? Check! Tiny marshmallow moons? Double check!
[beat]
Cadet! You call that a spoonful? That's barely a snack! I want a full payload! Three, two, one... crunch!
[breath]
Starbran Rockets. Mission control for your morning. Commander Crumb, over and out!
What it is for: A proud space commander selling cereal like a mission briefing. Trains crisp, commanding delivery with comic flair. Coach's note: Watch out for barking the whole thing. Commander Crumb is proud and thrilled, not angry. Snap the checklist into a rhythm and make 'Double check!' the peak. What casting listens for: Casting listens for heroic command energy that sounds fun for kids, not scary.
[A cartoon moon. MOXIE THE MOON MOLE pops out of a crater, whispering]
Psst. Earthling. Down here.
These are Choco Craters. Chocolatey cereal, dug fresh from the moon. Well, from a factory. But it's shaped like the moon.
[beat]
Choco Craters. Out of this world. Mostly.
What it is for: A whispery, sneaky little mascot in a tight 15. Trains an intimate, conspiratorial character that still reads clearly. Coach's note: Watch out for whispering so much you lose the brand. Moxie is sneaky, but 'Choco Craters' has to be clear both times. The confession 'Well, from a factory' is a quick aside. What casting listens for: Casting listens for a distinct, charming small voice with clean diction at low volume.
[An underwater cereal bowl. ZIP THE ELECTRIC EEL zooms through at top speed]
Bzzzt! Zip here! No time! Gotta zip!
Zappleberry Puffs! Apple and berry flavor with a zingy little crackle! One bite and bzzzt, you're awake!
[beat]
Okay, I'm tired now.
[breath]
Zappleberry Puffs!
What it is for: A hyper mascot who can't slow down, until he suddenly does. Trains top speed with clean articulation and a sharp energy drop. Coach's note: Watch out for blurring the words at speed. Fast is fine, mushy isn't. The joke is the crash on 'Okay, I'm tired now,' so drop all the way down, then pop back up for the name. What casting listens for: Casting listens for high-energy character work that stays crisp and controlled.
[A cartoon front porch. GRANDPA OATSWORTH, a bearded old oat in a rocking chair, takes his sweet time]
Well, now. Everybody's in such a hurry these days. Zoom, zoom, zoom.
[beat]
Me? I like my oatmeal slow. Creamy. Warm as a quilt. With a little brown sugar on top, like my mama made. Heh. She was a patient woman too.
Porchswing Oats. Ready in five minutes...
[beat]
...Five whole minutes. Plenty of time to sit a spell.
[breath]
Porchswing Oats. Take your time.
What it is for: A slow, warm grandpa mascot for a comfort breakfast. Trains pacing and holding a pause without losing energy. Coach's note: Watch out for speeding up to fit the time. Oatsworth's rhythm is the joke and the sell. Keep the energy alive underneath the slowness, and smile on 'Five whole minutes.' What casting listens for: Casting listens for a mature, easygoing voice with warmth and a twinkle.
A cartoon castle kitchen. SIR CRISPIN, a very small knight, guards a box of Castle Crisps from EMBERLY, a hungry young dragon
CRISPINHalt, dragon! These Castle Crisps are for the good children of the kingdom!
EMBERLYI'm good! I'm very good! I cleaned my cave!
CRISPINYour cave is a volcano.
EMBERLYA CLEAN volcano!
CRISPIN...Very well. One bowl. Golden honey crisps, shaped like little shields.
EMBERLYMmm! They don't even melt when I breathe on them!
CRISPINCastle Crisps. Breakfast fit for a knight.
EMBERLYOr a dragon!
What it is for: Two cereal mascots, a tiny knight and a hungry dragon, sharing one spot. Trains contrasting character voices and a quick back-and-forth. Coach's note: Watch out for both characters at the same pitch and pace. Crispin is formal and puffed-up, Emberly is an overexcited kid. Keep the product line inside Crispin's knightly voice. What casting listens for: Casting listens for two distinct mascots with clear chemistry.

[A grimy kitchen sink. SCRUBBINS, a scrub brush with a fierce little mustache, rolls up its bristles]
Lasagna pan? Baked on since Tuesday? Stand back, civilians. I've got this.
[SFX: furious scrubbing]
[beat]
Done. Sparkling. You're welcome.
Send me your worst. Casserole dish. Oven rack. Grandma's roasting tin.
Scourwell brushes. We live for the gross stuff.
What it is for: A tough-guy scrub brush treating a dirty pan like a rescue mission. Trains action-hero parody in miniature. Coach's note: Watch out for going too gravelly to understand. Scrubbins is a movie hero, but 'Scourwell brushes' must be clean. Let the SFX happen, then play 'Done. Sparkling.' completely cool. What casting listens for: Casting listens for a confident comic character who can parody a genre without losing the sell.
[A living room. A plump COUCH CUSHION speaks with the weary drama of an old stage actor]
I have seen things.
Popcorn. Tears. Three seasons of a baking show, watched in a single weekend.
[beat]
For eleven years, I held this family up. And now they tell me I'm... lumpy.
[breath]
Fine. Go to Loafwell Sofas. Deep, cloud-soft cushions. Hundreds of fabrics. Delivered this week.
[beat]
Just... tell the new couch about the remote. It's been down here since spring.
What it is for: A tragic couch cushion giving a farewell that doubles as the sell. Trains playing comedy with a straight, theatrical face. Coach's note: Watch out for winking. The cushion's heartbreak has to be real for the jokes to land. Keep the product copy in character: it's a noble sacrifice, delivered through gritted teeth. What casting listens for: Casting listens for a performer who can play mock-tragedy fully committed.
[A snowy mountain road. TREAD, a grizzled old winter tire, talks like a salty sea captain]
Ice on the road, you say? Heh. I've seen worse. Much worse.
Forty below. Hills like walls. Sleet sideways. A minivan full of twins and a hamster named Kevin.
[beat]
That's why Tractell Winter Tires have deep grooves that bite into snow and slush. You stay on the road, and you stay in control. Kevin stays calm.
[breath]
Tractell. Built for the bad days.
What it is for: A grizzled old winter tire telling war stories. Trains a weathered character voice and a clean pivot into features. Coach's note: Watch out for letting the salty character swallow the feature line. 'Deep grooves that bite into snow and slush' is the sell; slow down a touch there. 'Kevin stays calm' is the payoff, so give it a dry smile. What casting listens for: Casting listens for a textured, lived-in character voice with good comic timing.
[Inside a washing machine. A lonely striped SOCK drifts through the suds, calling out]
Lefty? Lefty, where are you?
[beat]
We came in together. Same drawer. Same foot... different foot. Same person.
Every week, somebody doesn't come home. Last month it was the argyles.
[breath]
But wait. This is Pairsafe. Pairsafe Laundry Pods, now with a free sock-saver bag in every tub. Every pair comes out together, soft and fresh.
[SFX: the machine stops]
Lefty? LEFTY! You're here!
What it is for: A lonely sock searching the wash for its partner. Trains mock-melodrama with a genuine happy ending. Coach's note: Watch out for playing the whole thing at the same sad level. The sock is worried, then hopeful on 'But wait,' then overjoyed. The reunion shout should be the biggest moment in the spot. What casting listens for: Casting listens for an emotional range inside a small, silly character.
[A sunny windowsill. FIONA, a very droopy potted fern, speaks like a fading movie star]
Darling. Look at me. Look at these fronds. I used to be the star of this windowsill.
[beat]
Now I get water whenever you remember. Which is Thursdays. Some Thursdays. I've been living on ice cubes and hope.
[breath]
Leafperk Plant Food. One capful a month, and I'm back. Lush. Green. Magnificent.
[Fiona perks up]
Oh, yes. There she is. Hello again, gorgeous. Leafperk. Feed the drama.
What it is for: A droopy fern playing a fading movie star. Trains a big, old-Hollywood diva character with a clear sell in the middle. Coach's note: Watch out for staying droopy after the product line. Fiona revives when the plant food arrives, so the voice has to lift and fill out on 'Lush. Green. Magnificent.' What casting listens for: Casting listens for a glamorous comic voice that can play a transformation within thirty seconds.
Inside a fridge at 2 a.m. The light is off. CHEDDAR, an old wedge of cheese; PEACH, a cheerful cup of Clovermoss yogurt; and LASAGNA, a leftover who has been in here far too long
CHEDDAROkay. Nobody panic. The door's going to open. It's the midnight snacker.
PEACHOoh! Pick me! Pick me!
LASAGNANobody gets picked. I've been here since the Fourth of July. They're not coming.
CHEDDARYou're not getting picked because you've grown a second layer.
LASAGNAIt's called character.
PEACHI think it's brave.
LASAGNAThank you, Peach.
PEACHI'm Clovermoss Peach Yogurt! Creamy, real fruit, and the spoon's already in the drawer!
CHEDDARYes, yes, we know. You've said it every night this week.
PEACHBecause it's true every night this week!
SFX: the fridge door opens. Light floods in
LASAGNAAct casual.
CHEDDARHow do you act casual when you're cheese? I've been sweating since Tuesday.
beat
PEACHShe's reaching... she's reaching...
SFX: a happy "mm"
PEACHShe picked me! Clovermoss! Goodbye, everyone! I'll never forget you!
LASAGNASee you all next Fourth of July.
CHEDDARGerald, you're going in the trash.
What it is for: Three fridge residents waiting to see who gets picked. Trains ensemble character comedy with one clean product voice. Coach's note: Watch out for peach's product line sounding separate from Peach. She's thrilled to say it, every single night. Cheddar is the tired straight man and Lasagna is doom. Keep all three lanes distinct. What casting listens for: Casting listens for three clear characters and actors who can react as well as deliver.
Inside a mouth, cartoon style. MOLLY, a nervous molar, meets SPIN, a cheerful Brightbristle electric toothbrush
MOLLYIs it bedtime already? I'm not ready. There's popcorn in my... everywhere.
SPINRelax, Molly! Brightbristle's got you. Round head, soft bristles, two full minutes of gentle spinning!
MOLLYGentle? That sounds like a trap. Last time it was floss.
SPINNope! Just a little tickle. You'll love it.
SFX: whirring
MOLLYHee! Okay. Okay, that's actually nice.
SPINBrightbristle. Clean teeth, happy molars.
MOLLYSame time tomorrow? Please?
What it is for: A nervous molar and a cheerful toothbrush at bedtime. Trains an upbeat product voice against a fearful comic partner. Coach's note: Watch out for Spin overselling. The toothbrush is friendly and reassuring, like a good nurse. Molly carries the comedy, and her giggle has to sound real. What casting listens for: Casting listens for a warm, trustworthy product voice and a partner with real comic nerves.
A kitchen counter at 6 a.m. CARL, a chunky coffee mug, faces off with TINA, a smug little teabag
TINAMorning, Carl. Still empty?
CARLNot for long, Tina. It's Dawnkettle day.
TINACoffee again? You're so predictable. Every single morning.
CARLDark roasted, smooth, roasted in small batches. What've you got?
TINAI've got... a string. And a tag.
beat
CARLThat's what I thought.
SFX: coffee pouring
CARLHear that, Tina? That's the sound of a good morning. Ahh. Dawnkettle Coffee. Worth getting up for.
TINAFine. But I'm still cuter.
What it is for: A coffee mug and a smug teabag trading shots at 6 a.m. Trains quick rival banter with the sell in the middle. Coach's note: Watch out for Carl sounding like an announcer when he describes the coffee. He's bragging to Tina, not reading copy. Let the beat after 'a string' sit; the silence is the joke. What casting listens for: Casting listens for snappy comic timing and two voices with clear contrast.
[A cartoon suburban street. ARLO THE ARMADILLO, friendly and a little anxious, straightens his tiny tie]
Hi. I'm Arlo. I'm an armadillo. Protection is kind of my whole thing.
[beat]
When something goes wrong, I curl into a ball. That's my plan. It's not a great plan for your house.
[breath]
That's why there's Shellguard Home Insurance. Real people who answer the phone, help you file a claim fast, and never make you curl into a ball.
[beat]
Shellguard. Coverage that doesn't roll away.
What it is for: A slightly anxious armadillo who is great at protecting himself, less so your house. Trains a gentle comic spokes-creature who earns trust. Coach's note: Watch out for making Arlo a nervous wreck. He's a little anxious but sincere. Once he gets to Shellguard, he's on solid ground, so the voice settles and warms. What casting listens for: Casting listens for a likable, trustworthy character voice that could front years of spots.
[An ice floe. WENDELL THE WALRUS yawns enormously]
Ooooh, hello there. Wendell here. I've slept on ice every night for forty years.
[beat]
Then my cousin sent me a Snoozeberg mattress. Cool gel foam, so you don't overheat, and support that doesn't sag. Even under a two-ton walrus.
[breath]
I slept eleven hours. Straight through. Missed a whole fish migration. The whole herring parade.
Worth it.
Snoozeberg. Chill all night.
What it is for: A huge, sleepy walrus who has finally found comfort. Trains a big, slow, contented voice with a satisfied punchline. Coach's note: Watch out for staying so sleepy the copy sags. Wendell is slow, but 'cool gel foam' and 'support that doesn't sag' need shape. The real joy is 'Worth it.' What casting listens for: Casting listens for a warm, weighty voice that can be funny at a slow tempo.
[A messy cartoon kitchen. OCTAVIA THE OCTOPUS works all eight arms at once, cheerfully frazzled]
Counter, stovetop, fridge handle, sticky juice spill, mystery jam, high chair... and the dog. Don't ask.
[breath]
With eight arms, you'd think I'd have time. But what I needed was one spray that does it all.
Eightfold All-Purpose Cleaner. Cuts grease, lifts grime, fresh lemon scent. One bottle, every surface.
[beat]
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have eight arms to wash.
Eightfold. Clean every corner.
What it is for: A cheerful, frazzled octopus parent doing everything at once. Trains a fast list read that stays clear and warm. Coach's note: Watch out for rushing the list into mush. Each item is a different mess, so give each one its own little reaction. The product line settles down; she's found the answer. What casting listens for: Casting listens for a relatable, busy-parent energy inside a cartoon character.
So I Can Uncurl

[A dark hallway at night. PANGO THE PANGOLIN peeks out from a tightly curled ball]

[breath]
Phew. Curlwise Home Security. So I can finally uncurl.
What it is for: A shy little pangolin who finally feels safe. Trains a small, timid voice that grows in confidence. Coach's note: Watch out for staying tiny the whole time. Pango starts scared and ends relieved, so let the last line open up. The camera explanation is calm, not a whisper. What casting listens for: Casting listens for a sweet, timid character voice with a clear arc in fifteen seconds.
[A treetop at dusk. STANLEY THE SLOTH speaks very, very slowly]
Oh. Hello.
[beat]
I'm Stanley. I sleep... twenty hours a day.
People ask me... how? How, Stanley?
[breath]
Hushhollow. The sleep app with gentle rain, soft stories, and slow breathing guides. It helps your busy brain... wind down... all the way.

Hushhollow. Sleep, slowly.
What it is for: A very slow sloth selling a sleep app. Trains extreme pacing control and committing to long pauses. Coach's note: Watch out for speeding up because the clock is running.

[beat]
I'd share, but I ate it.
What it is for: A chatty, sunny yak who talks faster than she walks. Trains bright character energy in a tight fifteen. Coach's note: Watch out for running out of breath before the tag. Yolanda is quick but clear. Take a breath before 'Summitside Yogurt' and land the brand with pride. What casting listens for: Casting listens for infectious warmth and clean speed.
[An arctic sea. NIGEL THE NARWHAL, extremely proud of his tusk, poses for the camera]
Good evening, everyone. You may have noticed my tusk. Don't be shy.
Everyone does. It's a real showpiece. Nearly nine feet of elegance.
[beat]
Of course, a narwhal's tusk is technically a tooth. And a tooth this magnificent deserves the very best.
Tuskbright Toothpaste. Cool mint, fresh breath, and a proper polish every time you brush.
[breath]
Tuskbright. For teeth worth showing off. Like mine.
What it is for: A vain, posh narwhal extremely proud of his tusk. Trains high-status comic vanity with a smooth product read. Coach's note: Watch out for playing him as a jerk.

A backyard. A TV REPORTER interviews GUS, a grumpy goat who used to be the neighborhood's lawn service

GUSHe started it.
beat

breath
GUSBut can it eat a tin can? No. No, it cannot.
REPORTERChompwell. The lawn that mows itself.
GUSShow-off.
What it is for: A grumpy goat interviewed about the robot mower that took his job. Trains a mock-documentary scene where the character sells the product against his will. Coach's note: Watch out for the reporter getting jokey. Play it like real local news, straight and polite. Gus's grudging turn on 'Fine. It does a nice job' is the sell, so let him mean it. What casting listens for: Casting listens for a textured, cranky character voice and a believable straight reporter.
[A cartoon sky. CUMULUS CAL, a big fluffy cloud with a guilty face, floats over a soggy picnic]
Okay, look. I didn't mean to rain on your picnic. I just... had a lot going on.
[beat]
Next time, check Puddlewatch. Minute-by-minute rain alerts, right on your phone. It'll tell you exactly when I'm about to lose it.
[breath]
So you can pack up the sandwiches. And I can have a good cry in peace.
Puddlewatch. See me coming.
What it is for: A guilty cloud apologizing for ruining your day. Trains sheepish, lovable character comedy with an app feature read. Coach's note: Watch out for making Cal sad instead of sheepish. He's embarrassed, like someone who spilled a drink at a party. The app line is him being helpful, so brighten there. What casting listens for: Casting listens for a big, soft, likable character voice.
[A living room. BITSY, a tiny robot shaped like a router, blinks all its lights proudly]
Beep! Bitsy here! Your Zoomtail router!
Four people streaming, two gaming, one grandma on a video call... and I'm not even warm!
[beat]
Zoomtail Internet. Fast for the whole house. Beep!
What it is for: A tiny, proud router robot showing off. Trains a bright, clipped robot voice that still sounds friendly. Coach's note: Watch out for going fully robotic and flat.

What casting listens for: Casting listens for a fun, distinct robot voice with personality.
[A cartoon farmhouse kitchen. GRANNY HAZEL, round and rosy with flour on her glasses, leans into the camera like she's sharing gossip]
Come here, sweetheart. Closer. Closer. I'm going to tell you my secret.
[beat]
Butter. Lots and lots of butter. That's it. That's the whole secret. Don't tell the neighbors.
[breath]
Hazelbrook Frozen Pies. Flaky crust, real fruit filling, baked the old-fashioned way. Just pop it in the oven and pretend you made it. Flour on your cheek helps.
[beat]
I won't tell. I never tell.
What it is for: A cartoon grandma sharing her baking secret like gossip. Trains warm, conspiratorial character charm with a clean product middle. Coach's note: Watch out for playing her as a sweet old lady and nothing else. Hazel is a little naughty. 'Pretend you made it' and 'I never tell' are mischief, so let the twinkle show. What casting listens for: Casting listens for a warm mature voice with sparkle and timing.
[A cartoon desert town. SHERIFF SPIKE, a tall cactus wearing a badge, squints at the horizon]
This town ain't big enough for bland salsa.

[breath]
Dusty Mesa Salsa. Fire-roasted tomatoes, real chiles, chunky enough to stand up on a chip.
[beat]
Mild, medium, or Sheriff's Hot. Choose your heat, partner. I'd go mild. You look nervous.
What it is for: A cactus sheriff laying down the law on bland snacks. Trains a Western parody character with a clear flavor lineup. Coach's note: Watch out for going so slow and gravelly the lineup gets lost. The drawl is the flavor, but 'Mild, medium, or Sheriff's Hot' is the menu. The last line is a quiet, dry dig. What casting listens for: Casting listens for a fun genre-parody voice that still sells the product.
[A dark attic. WISPY, a cartoon ghost, is supposed to be scary but is thrilled with its own sheet]
Ooooooh... Ooooh, look how white my sheet is!
[beat]
I used to haunt in dingy gray. Now? Brightsheet Detergent. Brighter whites, and it smells like a spring breeze.
[breath]
Boo! ...Sorry. I'm just very excited.
What it is for: A ghost who is supposed to be spooky but is far too proud of its clean sheet. Trains quick character flips from spooky to giddy. Coach's note: Watch out for staying spooky. The 'Ooooh' starts as a haunt and turns into admiration halfway through. The 'Boo!' is a burst of joy, then an instant apology. What casting listens for: Casting listens for quick emotional flips and a playful comic voice.
What it is for: Two identical potato puffs arguing about which is crispier. Trains fast sibling banter in a tight fifteen. Coach's note: Watch out for sounding identical. They're twins, but Tuck is the competitive one and Tilly is the tired one. Snap the cues together with no gaps. What casting listens for: Casting listens for razor-sharp timing and two quick, distinct character voices.
