The Brewer's Hands

Beer, craftAdult (30-45)Neutral AmericanOne narrator30 secondsabout 28s
Four a.m. is when we start the mash. The whole brewhouse smells like warm bread. At Ironlamp Brewing, we still do it by hand: local barley, hops from two farms up the valley, and small batches we can taste every step of the way. Then we wait. Weeks, sometimes. Then we taste it.

Eleven Years in Oak

In a rickhouse outside Bardstown, a barrel sits in the dark. Summer pulls the bourbon deep into the charred oak. Winter squeezes it back out. Eleven times.

Hedgerow Hour

GinAdult (40-55)Neutral BritishOne narrator30 secondsabout 27s
Somewhere in the Cotswolds, there's a hedgerow that's been growing for three hundred years. We pick from it every June. Elderflower. Wild rose. Blackberry leaf.

The garden, in a glass. Please enjoy responsibly.

Direction: Crisp, bright, English garden elegance; a hint of mischief
What it is for: A British gin read. Trains crisp diction on botanicals and a playful sophistication.
Coach's note: Watch out for letting the botanicals turn into a list. Each one should sound like you can smell it. The mischief is on 'the gardener's secret'.

Harvest at Cinder Ridge

Wine, redAdult (30-45)Neutral AmericanOne narrator30 secondsabout 29s
There's a moment every September when you taste a grape off the vine and just know. At Cinder Ridge Vineyards, our vines grow in old volcanic soil, high on the slope, where the nights are cold and the days are long.

Direction: Warm, earthy, grounded pride; a winemaker at dawn

Direction: Two friends catching up after work, quick and funny
What it is for: A female/female dialogue spot for hard seltzer. Trains natural banter and a clean product line inside it.

What casting listens for: Casting listens for real friendship and easy timing.

Clear Head IPA

Non-alcoholic beerAdult (30-45)Neutral AmericanOne narrator30 secondsabout 26s
I love beer. The hops, the bitterness, the first sip on a hot afternoon. What I don't love is feeling foggy on Saturday morning when I've got a half-marathon, two kids, and a pancake order to fill.

The Local

Beer, stoutAdult (40-55)IrishOne narrator30 secondsabout 29s
There's a pub at the end of our road with a fire, six stools, and a barman called Declan. When you order a Lough Tessan Stout, Declan pours it three-quarters. Then he waits. Nobody's in a hurry, least of all Declan. Then he tops it up, and there it is. Dark as the lough, a creamy head, and roasted, chocolatey, a little bitter. Lough Tessan Stout. Worth the wait. Please enjoy responsibly.

Direction: Warm, wry Irish storyteller in a quiet pub
What it is for: An Irish stout read with a pub storyteller's rhythm. Trains dry humour and the patience of a slow pour.
Coach's note: Watch out for rushing the pour. The two-part pour is the heart of the spot, so wait on it. The joke is 'nobody's in a hurry, least of all Declan.'
What casting listens for: Casting listens for an accent that's lived-in and a storyteller who enjoys the pause.

Windfall

CiderAdult (40-55)West Country EnglishOne narrator30 secondsabout 27s
Every autumn, the old trees in our orchard drop their apples in the long grass. We call them windfalls.

Direction: Warm, rustic, sunny West Country charm

Slow Agave

TequilaAdult (30-45)Neutral AmericanOne narrator30 secondsabout 27s
In the highlands of Jalisco, where the soil is red, the agave takes its time. Seven years in the ground. Then it's harvested by hand, roasted slowly in stone ovens, and rested in American oak. The result is Piedra Alta Reposado. Soft vanilla. Cooked agave. A warm, peppery finish. Sip it neat. Share it slowly. Let the evening stretch out. Piedra Alta. From high ground. Please enjoy responsibly.

Direction: Smooth, low, warm, with a sunlit ease
What it is for: A premium tequila read. Trains sensory copy and a relaxed, confident pace.
Coach's note: Watch out for treating it like a party spot. This is a sipping tequila; the pace is slow. The turn is 'Seven years in the ground.' Let it land.
What casting listens for: Spirits casting listens for smoothness and quiet confidence.

Picnic Row

Wine, cannedAdult (25-40)Neutral AmericanOne narrator30 secondsabout 27s
Concert on the lawn. Picnic by the river. Rooftop, sunset, too many snacks. Picnic Row Wines come in cans that chill fast and travel light: a crisp Sauvignon Blanc, a juicy red, and a dry rosé that's basically sunshine. No corkscrew. No glasses. No one stuck holding the bottle. Chill a few, pack the blanket, and go. Picnic Row. Good wine goes anywhere. Please recycle. Please enjoy responsibly.

Direction: Playful, bright, easygoing; a friend packing the basket
What it is for: A casual canned-wine read. Trains a light, fun delivery with a quick list.

Clear as Winter

VodkaAdult (30-45)Neutral BritishOne narrator30 secondsabout 28s
It begins with winter wheat from the northern plains and water from a glacier spring. Frostvane Vodka is distilled five times, filtered through birch charcoal, and rested cold. The result is clean, silky and quietly smooth, with a hint of white pepper. No colour. No flavourings. Nothing to hide.

Direction: Cool, crisp, precise; icy elegance
What it is for: A premium vodka read. Trains crisp precision and cool control.

Crisp and Cold

Beer, lagerAdult (30-45)Neutral AmericanOne narrator30 secondsabout 26s
Every summer cookout needs a few things. A grill that's too hot. A playlist that's too loud. And one guy who brought a potato salad nobody asked for. It also needs a cooler full of Porchswing Lager. Light, crisp, golden and easy, brewed the same way for eighty years. Pass one to the potato salad guy. He's trying. Porchswing Lager. Crack one open. Please enjoy responsibly.

Direction: Confident, sunny, big-brand warmth with a dry wit
What it is for: A mainstream lager read with a light comic turn. Trains a big-brand voice that still sounds human.

Island Time

RumAdult (40-55)Caribbean (Trinidadian) EnglishOne narrator30 secondsabout 30s

The Long Pour

Whiskey, IrishMature (55+)IrishOne narrator60 secondsabout 57s
My father worked at the Kilcurran distillery for forty-one years. He'd come home smelling of malt and wood smoke, and sit by the fire, and tell me about the stills. Big copper pots, he'd say, shining like the sun coming up. Kilcurran is triple distilled, the Irish way, and aged in old sherry and bourbon casks down by the river, where the damp air gets into the wood and the wood gets into the whiskey. Twelve years, at least. Some of it far longer. What comes out is soft and golden. Honey. Toasted almond. A bit of spice. And a long, warm finish, like the last of a good fire. The day I started at the distillery, he poured two glasses. Handed me one. Raised his own. He said nothing. He didn't need to. Kilcurran Irish Whiskey. Handed down. Please enjoy responsibly.

Direction: Low, slow, warm Irish storyteller; smoke and firelight
What it is for: The full-length low-and-slow whiskey story. Trains sustained resonance, patience and a quiet emotional turn.
Coach's note: Watch out for speeding up in the middle. The pace stays unhurried all the way through. The turn is 'He said nothing. He didn't need to.' Hold the silence after it.

Direction: Two co-founders, a couple, bickering fondly; natural and warm
What it is for: A two-voice craft brewery story. Trains shared storytelling, interruptions and warmth between partners.

What casting listens for: Casting listens for real chemistry and a story that pulls the listener in.

Rye After Dark

Whiskey, ryeAdult (40-55)Southern USOne narrator60 secondsabout 56s
Past midnight, the city gets honest. The traffic thins. The piano player loosens his tie. Somebody in the corner laughs a little too loud. And behind the bar, a bottle of Blackcairn Rye catches the light. Rye doesn't apologise. It's spicy. It's bold. It's got something to say. We make ours with ninety-five percent rye grain, grown by one family farm in Tennessee, and age it in heavily charred new oak for at least six years. Pour it neat and you'll taste black pepper, dark caramel, a little dried cherry, and a warmth that settles in slow. Mix it into an old fashioned, and it holds its own. The piano player's on his last song now. The lights are low. Nobody's in a hurry to leave. One last song. Then home. Blackcairn Rye. Made for the late hours. Please enjoy responsibly.

Direction: Late-night, low, gravelly; a jazz-club slow burn
What it is for: A long, low-and-slow rye whiskey mood piece. Trains atmosphere, rhythm and restraint.
Coach's note: Watch out for performing 'sexy'. The mood comes from slowing down and meaning each image. The turn is 'Rye doesn't apologise.' Say it with a little grin.
What casting listens for: Spirits casting listens for texture, a slow pulse and control of the mic.

Bubbles for Beginners

Wine, sparklingAdult (30-45)Neutral AmericanOne narrator60 secondsabout 54s
I used to be terrified of sparkling wine. Not drinking it. Opening it. I once took out a lampshade at my sister's engagement party, and she still brings it up. And then there's the vocabulary. Brut. Extra dry, which is somehow less dry than brut. Something about 'autolytic notes'. I just nodded. Then a friend brought over a bottle of Bellecroix Sparkling. She showed me how to open it: hold the cork, twist the bottle, gentle sigh, no explosions. The lampshade community breathed a sigh of relief. And it was lovely. Fine, lively bubbles. Crisp green apple. A little toasted brioche. Dry, but not too dry. It doesn't need a big occasion. It's good with fried chicken. It's good on a Tuesday. It just tastes like a party. Bellecroix Sparkling. Pop something. Gently. Please enjoy responsibly.

Direction: Witty, self-deprecating, sparkling; a friend who isn't a wine snob
What it is for: A comic long-form sparkling wine read. Trains comic storytelling with a genuine sell at the end.
Coach's note: Watch out for playing it too broad. The humour is quiet and conversational. The turn is 'It just tastes like a party.' Make it sincere.
What casting listens for: Casting listens for comic timing and warmth that still makes the wine sound special.

Saltmarrow

Rum, spicedMature (55+)West Country EnglishOne narrator60 secondsabout 63s
They say the sea keeps its secrets. Well, not all of them. Back when the ships still ran on wind, a trader called Hester Marrow sailed from the islands with a hold full of rum and a sack of spices she'd won in a card game. A storm caught her off the Cornish coast. Three days of it. Waves like cathedrals. When she finally made harbour, the casks had rolled and knocked and soaked through with vanilla, clove and orange peel from that broken sack. She tasted it, laughed, and never sold plain rum again. Saltmarrow Spiced Rum still follows her recipe: Caribbean rum, aged in oak, then rested with real vanilla pods, cloves, orange and a pinch of sea salt. Sip it over ice. Or with ginger beer and a squeeze of lime. And if anyone asks you where it came from, tell them about the storm. Saltmarrow. A spirit with a story. Please enjoy responsibly.

Direction: Gravelly old-sea-dog storyteller; theatrical but controlled
What it is for: A theatrical storytelling rum read. Trains character voice, rhythm and a controlled build.
Coach's note: Watch out for turning it into a pirate cartoon. He's a real old sailor with a good yarn. Build the storm, then drop low for the sip. The legal line is out of character, sincere.
What casting listens for: Casting listens for character commitment that still sells a premium product.

Humo Lento

MezcalAdult (30-45)Mexican-American EnglishOne narrator60 secondsabout 60s
In the hills of Oaxaca, there is a pit in the earth. It's lined with river stones and filled with oak wood, and when the fire burns down to embers, the maestro lays the agave hearts on top, covers them with earth, and walks away. Three days, they roast there. Slowly. In the dark. Then the agave is crushed by a stone wheel, turned by a horse named Lucero, fermented in open wooden vats, and distilled twice in small copper stills. Humo Lento means slow smoke. It's what you'll taste first. Then roasted pineapple, a little salt, a little earth, and something green, like the hills after rain. You can taste the fire. Sip it neat, from a small clay cup, with an orange slice on the side. Don't rush it. Nobody who made it did. Humo Lento Mezcal. Made by hand. Made to be savoured. Please enjoy responsibly.

Direction: Hushed, smoky, sensual in its detail; unhurried
What it is for: A long premium-mezcal read. Trains a slow, atmospheric delivery with sensory precision.
Coach's note: Watch out for rushing the process. The patience of the making is the patience of the read. The turn is 'You can taste the fire.' Almost a whisper.
What casting listens for: Spirits casting listens for texture, stillness and authenticity.

Flatacre Nation

Beer, lagerAdult (40-55)Southern USOne narrator60 secondsabout 60s
This is for the early risers. For the ones who were pouring concrete before the sun came up. The nurses coming off a double. The farmers, the truckers, the teachers grading papers at the kitchen table. For the line cooks. The linemen. The folks who fix what everyone else breaks. For anyone who's ever worked all week, come home tired, and still found the energy to fire up the grill for the neighbours. This one's for you. Flatacre Lager has been brewed in the same town, by the same families, for eighty years. Golden, crisp, and honest. No gimmicks. No fancy talk. Just a good cold beer at the end of a hard day. So when the work is done, and the porch light's on, and the crickets are starting up... Crack one open. You earned it. Flatacre Lager. Brewed for the ones who build it. Please enjoy responsibly.

Direction: Anthem read, big heart, building from quiet grit to proud swell
What it is for: The big-brand lager anthem at full length. Trains a long build, blue-collar warmth and a clean pull-back for the legal line.
Coach's note: Watch out for starting at anthem volume. Begin low and grounded with the work. Build through the list of jobs, peak on 'this one's for you', then settle for the tag.
What casting listens for: Big brands listen for a voice that sounds like the people in the ad. Warmth and pride beat bigness.

Unwound

Non-alcoholic spiritsAdult (40-55)Neutral BritishOne narrator60 secondsabout 59s
For years, my evenings started the same way. Kettle off. Coat off. Glass of something. Then last January, I decided to try a month without. Just to see. The hardest part wasn't the drink. It was the moment. The clink of ice. The little pause at the end of the day that says, right, that's work done. A friend gave me a bottle of Unwound. It's a non-alcoholic spirit, distilled with juniper, grapefruit peel, pink peppercorn and a warm hint of ginger. I poured it over ice, topped it with tonic, and added a slice of orange. It turns out the ritual was the point. Now I've got the clink, the pause and the flavour, and I wake up on Saturday feeling like a person. I don't call it giving something up. I call it Tuesday. Unwound. Non-alcoholic spirits for grown-up evenings. Open the bottle. Close the day.

Direction: Warm, frank, gently funny; a woman who's changed her evenings
What it is for: A long non-alcoholic spirits read. Trains honest, conversational storytelling and a lifestyle sell without judgement.
Coach's note: Watch out for preaching or apologising. She isn't against anything; she just likes her evenings. The turn is 'It turns out the ritual was the point.'
What casting listens for: Casting listens for honesty and warmth. The listener should feel invited, not lectured.
