Direction: Brisk and friendly, a little wry on the opening line What it is for: A tight local urgent-care read that has to fit an address-style tag into fifteen seconds.

I remember the hallway light at three in the morning. I remember my nurse's name was Carla, and that she laughed at my terrible jokes between contractions.
I don't remember being scared, and I think that was the point.
The Birth Center at Tamsworth General has private suites, round-the-clock nurses and a team that stays with you.

Direction: Tender, grounded, remembering; no sentimentality in the voice What it is for: A heartfelt hospital anthem read that has to stay specific and unshowy. Coach's note: Watch out for leaning on the emotion. The details (the hallway light, the nurse's name) do the work; say them plainly and the listener fills in the feeling. What casting listens for: Casting listens for honesty: a real mother remembering, not an announcer doing 'emotional'.
At Oakhaven Children's Hospital, the elevators have stickers, the waiting rooms have puppets, and the bravest people in the building are about four feet tall. Our doctors and nurses speak fluent dinosaur, and nobody here minds a few tears.
And for parents, there's a bed beside your child, a team that explains every step, and someone to call at any hour.
Oakhaven Children's Hospital. Made for kids, from the floor up.
Direction: Warm dad energy, a touch of wonder, steady underneath What it is for: Children's hospital spot that balances play with reassurance.

What casting listens for: Casting listens for gentleness that never gets syrupy.
Used to be, if you needed a scan, it meant the early ferry, a long day and the late ferry home.

Same faces you know from the harbour. Fewer ferries. More time at home with the people who matter.
Corran Bay Community Hospital. Care that stays close to home.
Direction: Unhurried, dry humour, deeply local What it is for: A local-pride hospital read that trades on place and community. Coach's note: Watch out for playing up the accent. Speak as yourself; the warmth comes from the rhythm of the islands, not a performance of them. What casting listens for: Casting listens for authenticity and a lived-in voice that makes the town real.
It's three a.m. The baby's warm. You've checked the thermometer twice, and your phone is full of scary search results.
Close the search. Put the kettle on. Open Vesper.

Kindcall. A good place to start.
Direction: Easy, open, conversational; zero therapy-speak What it is for: A mental-health service read that must sound approachable without making promises. Coach's note: Watch out for sounding clinical or overly soft. It's a friend telling you something useful. Keep 'as soon as this week' matter-of-fact, not a sales push. What casting listens for: Casting listens for sincerity and a light touch on a sensitive subject.

Direction: Two sideline parents; fast comic rhythm, then practical What it is for: Two-voice local spot that uses overlapping sports-parent banter to deliver clinic details.

I drink a lot of coffee. How much? Four. Sometimes five. And my smile has been keeping score.
So I went to Grinwell Dental Studio. They talked me through whitening options, gave me a clear price up front, and nobody judged my mug collection. Not even the one that says 'Espresso Yourself'.
Book a free smile consultation at Grinwell Dental Studio.
Grinwell. Keep the coffee. Lose the evidence.
Direction: Chatty, confessional, a grin you can hear What it is for: A cosmetic dental read with a comic confession that pivots into the offer.

Direction: Laid-back, friendly, bit of a larrikin grin What it is for: A relaxed local dental read that has to deliver a clear offer and location. Coach's note: Watch out for swallowing the offer.

Direction: Wry and confident, a woman who made a decision and is glad What it is for: An adult-audience orthodontics read with a self-aware comic setup. Coach's note: Watch out for undercutting the pride. 'Now I don't' is the turn; let it be quietly satisfied. What casting listens for: Casting listens for a grounded, witty adult voice.
Sitting too close to the TV. Rubbing their eyes. Squinting at the board and saying everything's fine.
Sometimes kids don't know they can't see clearly, because it's the only way they've ever seen.
This school year, book a children's eye exam at Farglass Vision Center. Friendly optometrists, fun frames they'll actually want to wear, and appointments after school and on Saturdays.
Farglass Vision Center. Help them see what they're missing.
Direction: Caring and matter-of-fact, parent to parent What it is for: A back-to-school vision spot with a gentle information turn. Coach's note: Watch out for making it sound alarming. It's a helpful tip, not a warning; keep the list of signs light. What casting listens for: Casting listens for an easy, trustworthy parent voice.
Last pub quiz, I read question seven as 'Which planet has the most moose?' We wrote 'Canada'. With total confidence. Bold choice.
So I went to Kestwick Opticians. A proper eye test, a lovely optometrist who didn't laugh, much, and new glasses ready in about a week.
Book your eye test at Kestwick Opticians. Frames to suit every face, and every budget.
Kestwick. Read the question properly.
Direction: Dry, self-mocking British humour What it is for: A comic British retail-optical read with understatement doing the work. Coach's note: Watch out for overplaying the gag. British comedy here is flat and underplayed; the laugh is in 'bold choice'. What casting listens for: Casting listens for timing and understatement.
Spring shows up, and so do the tissues. The sneezing, the itchy eyes, the stuffy nose on every walk in the park.
Ask your doctor about Quenlaris, a once-daily prescription nasal spray for adults with seasonal allergy symptoms.
Important safety information. Quenlaris may cause headache, nosebleed or sore throat. Tell your doctor about all medicines you take. Don't use Quenlaris if you are allergic to any of its ingredients.

Direction: Bright and sympathetic, then a fast, clear safety read What it is for: Trains the gear change from warm lifestyle copy into the rapid important-safety-information section. Coach's note: Watch out for mumbling the fast part. Speed comes from fewer pauses, not smaller consonants; every side effect must be heard. What casting listens for: Casting listens for a clean, legible ISI at speed without it sounding like a different person.
Family dinner, then an evening of regret? If frequent heartburn is getting in the way, it may be time to talk to your doctor.

Direction: Friendly, relatable dad voice, then crisp and quick on the safety copy What it is for: A thirty-second pharma read that squeezes a lifestyle opening and ISI into tight timing.

After my knee surgery, I told my grandkids I'd be back on the hiking trail by fall. They didn't believe me. Honestly, neither did I.

Stepback Physical Therapy. Ask your doctor for a referral.
Direction: Warm, determined, a little spark of pride What it is for: A testimonial-style local healthcare read from an older, active narrator.

WALTThree times. And the nurse remembered I take my coffee black.

RUTHTell her yourself. She's coming in with your pills at noon.
WALTThen I'll comb my hair.
RUTHLarkfield Health. Care that knows your name.
Direction: An old married couple teasing across a hospital bed; affection underneath What it is for: Two-voice hospital spot that sells comfort through a real relationship. Coach's note: Watch out for playing the illness. He's recovering and grumpy about the food; the tenderness only surfaces on 'I know.' What casting listens for: For duets, casting listens for years of marriage in the rhythm between the voices.
At two in the morning, most of the town is asleep.
But on the fourth floor at Larkfield, someone is checking a monitor for the fortieth time tonight. Someone is explaining a chart to a worried son. Someone is fetching a warm blanket for a patient who can't sleep, and staying a minute longer than the job requires.
Down in the emergency department, a team is ready for whatever comes through those doors. In the lab, someone is running the tests that will help a doctor decide what's next.
They don't do it for the thanks. They do it because somebody has to be awake when you need them.
Larkfield Health has cared for this valley for over sixty years, with three hospitals, twelve clinics, and more than four thousand people who show up, day and night.
Larkfield Health. Here all night.
Direction: Measured, reverent, building gently; no trailer voice What it is for: A long hospital anthem read that needs a slow build and a clear landing. Coach's note: Watch out for peaking too early. Hold the energy low through the list of night-time moments and let it rise only from 'They don't do it for the thanks'. What casting listens for: Casting listens for control across a full minute and honest warmth without sentiment.
It starts with a flicker at the edge of your vision. Then the throb. Then the dark room, the closed curtains, the day you had planned, gone.
If migraine keeps taking days from you, ask your doctor about Tessivar, a prescription tablet for adults with migraine, taken at the first sign.
Tessivar isn't for everyone. Don't take Tessivar if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Tessivar may cause dizziness, drowsiness, nausea or headache. Don't drive or operate machinery until you know how Tessivar affects you. Tell your doctor about all medicines you take, including over-the-counter medicines and supplements, and if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Call your doctor right away if you have chest discomfort or any new or unusual symptoms.
Talk to your doctor. Ask if Tessivar is right for you.
Direction: Empathetic and grounded up top, then a clear, brisk safety read What it is for: Trains the full sixty-second pharma structure: lifestyle, product line, long ISI and a clean close. Coach's note: Watch out for treating the ISI as a throwaway. It's legally the most important part; brisk and even, every side effect distinct. What casting listens for: Casting listens for credibility in both halves and seamless control of pace changes.
Every morning, Biscuit waits by the door with his leash in his mouth. Every morning, my knees have their own opinion about the walk.
So I talked to my doctor about Ostivane. Ostivane is a once-daily prescription tablet for adults with joint pain from osteoarthritis. Now Biscuit and I have our routine back: the park, the pond, and a very long sniff of every single lamppost.
Important safety information. Ostivane may cause stomach upset, headache, dizziness or swelling in the ankles. Tell your doctor if you have had stomach problems, kidney problems or heart problems. Tell your doctor about all medicines you take, including pain relievers and blood thinners. Don't take Ostivane if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Stop taking Ostivane and get help right away if you have trouble breathing.
Ask your doctor if Ostivane is right for you.
Direction: Easy, amiable older voice; relaxed lifestyle, then precise safety copy What it is for: A mature-voice pharma read with a gentle story before the ISI. Coach's note: Watch out for rushing the story to get to the fast part. The opening is the reason anyone listens; take your time with the dog. What casting listens for: Casting listens for warmth, clarity and a safety read that stays in the same character.
Four o'clock. Spreadsheet open. And my eyes feel like somebody filled them with sand.
My coworker asked if I was crying at a pivot table. Honestly? Sometimes. But not this time.
I finally mentioned it to my eye doctor. She said it might be dry eye, and she told me about Marivence, a prescription eye drop for adults with dry eye. Now I ask about it instead of just blinking harder.
Important safety information. Marivence may cause temporary eye irritation, blurred vision, or an unusual taste after use. Remove contact lenses before using Marivence, and wait fifteen minutes before putting them back in. Don't touch the bottle tip to your eye or any surface. Tell your eye doctor about all medicines you take, including other eye drops.
Ask your eye doctor if Marivence is right for you.
Direction: Wry office-worker confessional up top, then a clean, neutral safety read What it is for: A sixty-second pharma read where the lifestyle half is a comic monologue and the ISI is a separate gear. Coach's note: Watch out for carrying the character into the safety section. From 'Important safety information' drop the persona completely; clean, even and quicker, every item distinct. What casting listens for: Casting listens for personality in the first half and a spotless, neutral ISI in the second.
TOMA very sore throat. And I can't drive to the clinic like this. What if I sneeze at a traffic light?
CLAIREYou don't have to drive anywhere. Open Pocket Clinic.
TOMThe app?
CLAIREYou tap 'see a doctor now', answer a few questions, and a licensed doctor video calls you. Usually within the hour.
TOMFrom the couch?
CLAIREFrom the couch. They can talk through your symptoms and send a prescription to your pharmacy if you need one.
TOMWhat if I look terrible?
CLAIREYou do look terrible. The doctor has seen worse.
TOM...Thank you? I think?
CLAIREAnd it takes most insurance, or there's a flat price if you don't have any.
TOMOkay. Okay. I'm opening it. Should I put on a shirt?
CLAIREPlease.
CLAIREPocket Clinic. See a doctor without leaving the couch.
Direction: Couple on a sofa; sniffly comic misery meeting practical calm What it is for: A long two-voice comedy that has to carry app features clearly inside the banter. Coach's note: Watch out for overplaying the sick voice. A slight congestion is funnier than a cartoon; the features in CLAIRE's lines must stay crystal clear. What casting listens for: For duets, casting listens for comic timing that leaves room for the product.
One Floor Up
Hospital, cancer careAdult (40-55)Neutral AmericanOne narrator60 secondsabout 55s
When my wife was diagnosed, the first thing I remember is the parking garage. Walking back to the car, neither of us saying a word.
The second thing I remember is a woman called Denise. She was the nurse navigator at Wyndmere. She gave us her direct number and said, 'Anything. Any time.' She meant it.
Every appointment was in one building. Every doctor knew what the last one had said. When we had questions at eleven at night, Denise called back the next morning, before we'd even had coffee.
It was still the hardest year of our lives. But I didn't have to be brave on my own.
The Cancer Care Center at Wyndmere Regional Medical Center. Specialists, support and a nurse navigator for every patient, all under one roof.
Wyndmere. We walk it with you.
Direction: Quiet, human, patient; the narrator is a husband remembering What it is for: A long, restrained hospital testimonial read about a serious subject, with no outcome claims. Coach's note: Watch out for trying to make us cry. Underplay it. The line 'I didn't have to be brave on my own' carries the whole spot; give it air and move on. What casting listens for: Casting listens for restraint and truth on hard material.

Lookwell Eyewear, with twelve stores across the state. Glasses are the first thing people see. Make them yours.
Direction: Upbeat, stylish, fast-talking but crystal clear What it is for: A high-energy retail read that has to fit a lot of offer detail into a minute without sounding like a list. Coach's note: Watch out for losing clarity at speed. Every offer detail must be heard; build energy through the frame styles, then settle on the offer. What casting listens for: Casting listens for youthful energy that still sounds in control.
If just hearing the word 'dentist' makes your shoulders creep up around your ears, this is for you.
At Harbourview Dental, we see a lot of nervous patients. Some haven't been in years. Some had a bad experience once and never went back. We get it.
So here's how we do things. Your first visit is just a chat. No instruments, no chair if you don't want it. We'll listen, and we'll explain everything before we do anything.
If you need a break, raise your hand and we stop. If you want headphones and a film, we've got them. If you want to walk out, you can, and we won't take it personally.
We have evening appointments, weekend hours and a quiet waiting room with no drill sounds.
Harbourview Dental, on Quay Street. Take the first step. We'll take the rest slowly.
Direction: Soft, kind, a little humour; talking straight to a nervous listener What it is for: A long, direct-address read that reassures a nervous audience without clinical claims. Coach's note: Watch out for sounding like a hypnotist. Keep it conversational; smile on 'we won't take it personally'. What casting listens for: Casting listens for kindness and pace that makes the listener feel safe.
