Back to School at Crestline
Big-box retail, back to schoolAdult (25-40)Neutral AmericanOne narrator30 secondsabout 29s
The alarm is set. The bus is coming. And that backpack from last year? It has seen things.
Back to school starts at Crestline. Backpacks with actual pockets. Sneakers that survive recess. Notebooks, markers, and the one calculator your teacher insists on.
Plus great deals on the styles they will actually wear, not the ones you hope they will.
Crestline. Everything on the list, and a little extra for the first day.
Direction: Bright and quick, a parent who is in on the joke, smiling through the tag What it is for: The classic back-to-school retail read. Energy without shouting, and a list that has to stay alive. Watch out for: Reading the product list as one flat run. Backpacks, sneakers and notebooks each get their own little picture. The turn is 'not the ones you hope they will', which is the parent's wink. What casting listens for: Casting listens for whether you can sound excited about school supplies and still sound like a real parent, not a jingle.
The Drip
Home & DIYAdult (40-55)Neutral AmericanOne narrator30 secondsabout 30s
Drip. Drip. Drip. That faucet has been talking to you for three weeks, and it is not going to stop on its own.
Come see us at Benchmark Home and Hardware. Tell our people what is going on, and they will walk you to the right washer, the right wrench, and the right five-minute video to watch before you start.
No lectures. No upsell. Just the fix.
Benchmark. Bring the problem. Leave with the plan.
Direction: Warm, unhurried, the guy at the counter who has fixed a thousand of these What it is for: Trust-building hardware copy. Trains a helpful, low-key read that still sells. Watch out for: Doing a sound effect on 'drip'. Say the words plainly and let the rhythm do it. The sell lands on 'Just the fix', so slow down there. What casting listens for: Home improvement casting wants credibility. They listen for a voice you would let into your kitchen.
Forgot the phone charger? The birthday gift? The thing you promised you already ordered?
Order by midnight on Parcelry, and it is at your door tomorrow morning.
Parcelry. You forgot. We did not.
Direction: Quick, knowing, a friend who has saved you before What it is for: A tight fifteen with a three-beat setup and a button. Pure timing practice. Watch out for: Rushing the list of forgotten things. Each one is a separate little panic. The button 'We did not' needs a beat of silence in front of it. What casting listens for: In fifteen seconds casting only hears two things: did the setup land, and did the tag land.
This week, make every dollar do a little more at Everfield Supercenter.
Fresh produce, picked this week and priced right. Pantry staples for less, every single aisle. School clothes, cleaning supplies, and the toy that will buy you twenty quiet minutes on a Saturday.
Low prices every day, not just on the days we put up a banner.
Everfield Supercenter. Fill the cart. Keep the change.
Direction: Friendly announcer, clear and even, a smile on 'twenty quiet minutes' What it is for: The everyday-low-price read. Trains clarity and warmth in the most common retail spot there is. Watch out for: Hard-selling every line. Value copy works when it sounds reasonable. The one joke is 'twenty quiet minutes on a Saturday'; let it be a small aside, not a punchline. What casting listens for: Big-box clients book voices that sound trustworthy on the fortieth play. Casting listens for ease.
The Backyard Nobody Uses
Home & DIY, seasonalAdult (30-45)Neutral AmericanOne narrator60 secondsabout 56s
Every house has one. The backyard nobody uses.
There is a folding chair out there that nobody trusts. A grill with a cover that blew off in April. And a patch of dirt that was going to be a garden, back when you had big plans and a free weekend.
Here is the thing. It is not too late. Summer is long, and Hartwell Home Center has everything you need to take that yard back.
Grills, from the simple and sturdy to the kind your neighbor will ask about. Outdoor seating comfortable enough to fall asleep in. String lights, planters, pavers, and a garden center full of people who actually know which plants survive full sun.
Start with one corner. One chair. One tomato plant. Then watch what happens.
Hartwell Home Center. Your backyard is waiting. It has been very patient.
Direction: Conversational and warm, gently teasing, building to optimism What it is for: A full minute of storytelling retail. Trains pacing a list without losing the listener. Watch out for: Treating the first paragraph as a sales pitch. It is an observation, almost a confession. The turn is 'Here is the thing. It is not too late.' From there you can lift. What casting listens for: Sixty-second spots show whether you can hold interest. Casting listens for the shift from teasing to encouraging.
This is me, watching the game on my old TV. I am squinting. I have been squinting since two thousand and eleven.
My wife says the players look like ants. She is being generous.
So we went to Voltage Row. A guy named Dev asked what we watch, how big the room is, and what we wanted to spend. Then he showed us three TVs. Not thirty. Three.
Now the players look like people.
Voltage Row. Real advice. Big pictures.
Direction: Deadpan, real guy, understated; no announcer voice anywhere What it is for: Real-person testimonial style. Trains dry comedy and a believable non-actor read. Watch out for: Pushing the jokes. 'She is being generous' only works if you say it like a fact. The sell is 'Not thirty. Three.' Give it a small beat. What casting listens for: Real-person spots are a huge share of auditions. Casting listens for whether you sound like you have never done a commercial.

Every Season
Fashion & beauty, department storeAdult (30-45)Neutral BritishOne narrator30 secondsabout 31s
There is the coat you buy for one winter. And there is the coat you still reach for ten years later.
At Marlowe and Finch, we believe in the second kind.
Timeless pieces to build a wardrobe on. New shapes and colours for when you fancy a change. Soft, easy looks for the whole family, from Sunday lunch to the school gate.
Whatever the weather. Whatever the plan.
Marlowe and Finch. Dress for the life you actually live.
Direction: Elegant and relaxed, a knowing smile, never posh What it is for: Upmarket fashion copy. Trains restraint: sounding premium without sounding cold. Watch out for: Going breathy and 'luxury'. She is confident and practical. The turn is 'we believe in the second kind'; that is the brand's whole idea, so land it plainly. What casting listens for: Fashion clients listen for taste. Casting wants warmth inside the polish.
DANAWhy is there a pickle jar the size of a toddler in our cart?
SAMBecause it was a good price.
DANAWe do not eat pickles.
SAMWe could start.
DANAYou also bought forty rolls of paper towels.
SAMThirty-six. And we will use every one of them. That is the point of Stockwell. You buy big, you pay less, and you stop running to the store every other day.
DANAOkay. The coffee, I get. The dog food, I get. The fresh berries, fine, those were a steal.
SAMThank you.
DANABut the pickles.
SAMThink of them as an investment.
DANAIn what?
SAMIn us. As people who have pickles.
DANA...Did you at least get the big bag of pretzels?
SAMI got two.
DANAFine. But you are carrying the jar.
SAMStockwell Warehouse Club. Buy big. Save more. Lift with your knees.
Direction: Two-hander comedy, fast and affectionate, a couple who bicker for fun What it is for: Duet practice for comedic retail. Trains listening, overlap rhythm and playing the straight role. Watch out for: Playing the argument for real. They like each other. SAM believes in the pickles completely; that sincerity is the joke. The sell sits inside SAM's longest line, so don't throw it away. What casting listens for: For two-voice spots casting listens for reaction: does your character exist while the other one talks?
Okay, real talk. My bathroom shelf used to be a graveyard of products that were almost right.
Then I went to Glowroom. I told someone what my skin actually does, not what the ads say it should do, and she let me try things before I bought anything.
Now I have a routine. A short one. That I actually use.
Glowroom. Makeup, skincare and fragrance, with real people to help you find your match.
Come play. Leave glowing.
Direction: Chatty, real, like a voice note to a friend; brighter on the tag What it is for: Beauty retail in the modern, creator-style voice. Trains conversational delivery with a clean sell at the end. Watch out for: Switching into announcer mode on the brand line. Stay the same person all the way through. The turn is 'Now I have a routine. A short one.' What casting listens for: Beauty casting has moved toward real voices. They listen for whether it sounds unscripted.
Five a.m. Nobody is watching. Nobody is clapping.
It is just you, the cold, and the voice in your head that says one more lap.
Stride Theory builds gear for that voice. Fabrics that breathe when you are working hard. Shoes made to take the pounding, mile after mile. A fit that disappears, so the only thing you think about is the next step.
You do the work. We will be there for every rep.
Stride Theory. Show up.
Direction: Low, intense, close to the mic; grit, not volume What it is for: The athletic-brand 'anthem' read. Trains intensity at low volume. Watch out for: Shouting to sound motivated. The power is in the quiet opening. Build slowly through the gear list and keep 'Show up' short and final. What casting listens for: Sports brands want conviction. Casting listens for whether you sound like you have actually been out there at five a.m.
The Workbench
Home & DIYAdult (40-55)Southern USOne narrator30 secondsabout 31s
Listen. We know your garage is not just where the truck sleeps. It is your workshop. Your thinking spot. Your place.
So treat it right with the Ridgeback Folding Workbench. Heavy-duty steel frame. Solid wood top. Folds flat against the wall when you need the space back.
Yeah. You like that, don't you?
Tough enough for the big jobs, good-looking enough to show off.
Don't just stand there. Get yours at Ironbridge Hardware. Built for people who build.
Direction: Relaxed, buddy-to-buddy, a grin on 'You like that, don't you?' What it is for: A product-feature spot with personality. Trains making a spec list sound like a conversation. Watch out for: Reading the specs like a catalogue. He is showing it off to a friend. The cheeky line needs a real pause before it, as if you caught them looking. What casting listens for: Casting listens for charm. A regional accent works here only if it sounds lived in, not put on.
Hollowmere Manor
Local event, haunted attractionAdult (40-55)Neutral AmericanOne narrator60 secondsabout 58s
This October, the doors of Hollowmere Manor creak open once again.
Did you really think it was over?
Bigger. Darker. More terrifying than ever before. Twelve rooms of nightmares, built by people who should probably talk to someone about it.
Walk the hallway of whispering portraits. Find your way out of the Mirror Maze, if the mirrors let you. And whatever you do, do not stop in the nursery. She does not like visitors.
Scream all you like. Nobody out here can hear you. Well, the people in line can. They find it very encouraging.
Hollowmere Manor, on Old Mill Road. Open Thursday through Sunday, eight p.m. until midnight, all October long. Not recommended for children under twelve, or for anyone who sleeps with the hall light on.
Tickets online now.
So. Do you have what it takes to make it through Hollowmere Manor... alive?
Direction: Theatrical horror announcer, relishing it, dropping to a whisper on the last line What it is for: The fun, over-the-top event spot. Trains dynamic range: big announcer, then a whisper, then info copy. Watch out for: Staying at one creepy level. Go big at the top, turn playful on 'They find it very encouraging', then read the dates and times cleanly. Nobody can buy a ticket if they cannot hear the times. What casting listens for: Casting listens for commitment to the bit and for how you handle the switch into practical information.
The Gift Wrap Counter
Seasonal sale, department storeMature (55+)Neutral AmericanOne narrator60 secondsabout 58s
For thirty-one years, I have worked the gift wrap counter at Ashby's on Main Street.
I have wrapped a bicycle. I have wrapped a canoe paddle. One December, a young man brought me a ring box and asked me to make it look like socks, so she would never guess. She guessed. She said yes anyway.
People think the holidays are about the gifts. I think they are about the minute right before someone opens one. That little pause. That is what we are wrapping, really.
So come see us this season. Four floors of gifts, from cashmere scarves to kitchen gadgets to the toy they wrote to the North Pole about. Our staff will help you find it, and I will be right here with the ribbon.
Ashby's. Wrapped with care since before you were born. Well. Before some of you were born.
Direction: Warm storyteller, twinkly, unhurried; a real woman, not a grandma voice What it is for: A character-led holiday spot. Trains storytelling that turns into a sell without changing voice. Watch out for: Playing her frail or sugary. She is sharp and funny. The emotional turn is 'That little pause. That is what we are wrapping, really.' Keep it light and move on. What casting listens for: Mature voices get a lot of holiday work. Casting listens for warmth with a sense of humor underneath.
Beige
Home & DIY, paintAdult (30-45)Neutral AmericanOne narrator15 secondsabout 15s
Your living room is beige. Your hallway is beige. Your life, frankly, is a little beige.
Coatwell Paint and Supply. Every color imaginable, and people to help you pick one.
Be brave. Or at least be sage green.
Direction: Deadpan, faintly disappointed in you, dry smile on the last line What it is for: Dry comedy in fifteen seconds. Trains the rule of three and a hard button. Watch out for: Leaning on 'beige' each time. Say it flatter every time, so the third one lands. The button 'sage green' is a small shrug, not a joke announcement. What casting listens for: Comedic casting listens for restraint. The less you push, the funnier it is.
You know that pair of jeans. The one that fits like it was made for you, because honestly, it kind of was.
At Indigo Lane Denim, we cut, hem and fit every pair right here in the shop. Raw denim, washed denim, wide leg, slim, and that vintage straight leg you keep seeing everywhere.
Walk in. Try on. Walk out in the pair you will wear until it falls apart.
Indigo Lane Denim, on Fourth Street. Find your pair.
Direction: Cool, laid back, a little smile; the friend with great taste What it is for: Indie-fashion copy. Trains 'cool' without sounding bored. Watch out for: Mumbling to sound casual. Keep the consonants on the style list. The heart of it is 'because honestly, it kind of was', a small, sincere aside. What casting listens for: Youth fashion casting listens for authenticity. If it sounds like an ad, it loses.
The Beard
Fashion & beauty, local shopAdult (30-45)ScottishOne narrator30 secondsabout 31s
Your beard has had a rough year. You know it. It knows it.
At Birch and Anvil Grooming Company, we sort that out. Hot towel. Proper trim. A barber who listens when you say just a wee bit off the sides, and actually takes a wee bit.
Then we send you home with the oils and balms to keep it looking sharp until next time.
Walk-ins welcome. The coffee's on.
Birch and Anvil. Look like you meant it.
Direction: Easy, dry, friendly; a barber having a laugh with a regular What it is for: Local-business spot with a regional voice. Trains humor inside a service description. Watch out for: Putting on a comedy accent. Use your natural Scottish voice, or skip the accent. The joke is 'actually takes a wee bit'; do not wink at it. What casting listens for: Casting for accented reads listens for ease. They want someone who sounds at home, not doing a voice.
Come Sit a Spell
Local shop, furnitureMature (55+)Southern USOne narrator60 secondsabout 59s
Hey there, neighbor. I'm Walt Pruitt, and for going on forty years my family has run Hearthside Furniture right here on Route Nine.
Now, I'm not gonna shout at you. You get enough of that. I'm just gonna tell you what we've got.
We've got sofas you can sink into after a long day. Recliners my own daddy would have fought you for. Dining tables big enough for the whole family, even the cousins you only see at Thanksgiving. And mattresses you can lie down on right there in the store for as long as you like. Nobody's gonna rush you.
This month, our Fall Comfort Sale means savings in every room of the house, and free local delivery on every order. We'll carry it in, set it up, and haul the old one away.
So come on down. Sit a spell.
Hearthside Furniture. Family owned. Neighbor approved.
Direction: Owner-voice, easygoing, neighborly; the opposite of a shouty sale ad What it is for: The classic owner-read local spot. Trains sincerity and pacing sale details inside a personality. Watch out for: Getting louder when the sale arrives. Walt promised he would not shout, so he does not. Keep the offer at the same warm level. The laugh is 'my own daddy would have fought you for'. What casting listens for: Local spots are steady work. Casting listens for a voice the town would trust.
Assembly Required
Home & DIY, furnitureAdult (25-40)Neutral BritishOne narrator30 secondsabout 30s
Step one. Open the box. Step two. Count the screws. Step three. Discover you have one screw too many, and spend the evening wondering where it was meant to go.
Or, go to Nook and Beam.
Clever, modern furniture for small spaces, with free assembly on every order. Our team builds it, in your home, with the correct number of screws.
You put the kettle on.
Nook and Beam. Good design. No leftover bits.
Direction: Dry, wry, understated British humor; brighter once the solution arrives What it is for: Problem-solution comedy. Trains building a joke through a numbered list. Watch out for: Rushing step three. It is the longest sentence and the joke lives at the end of it. 'You put the kettle on' is the relief; let it breathe. What casting listens for: Casting listens for timing and a clean shift from problem to product.
Summer's over, and everything must go! The End of Summer Clearance at Bayside Outlet Center is on now.
Swimwear, sandals, patio sets and grills, all marked down to make room for fall.
This weekend only at Bayside. Hurry in!
Direction: Hype sale announcer, big and bright, clean diction at speed What it is for: The straight hard-sell sale read. Trains energy with clarity. Watch out for: Energy that turns into noise. Hit 'everything must go', 'marked down' and 'this weekend only'; everything else stays clear and quick. What casting listens for: Retail sale work is booked on energy that never sounds desperate. Casting listens for control.
The Doorbuster
Seasonal sale, duetAdult (25-40)Neutral AmericanTwo narrators (duet)30 secondsabout 32s
Cast: MANAGERKYLE
MANAGERKyle. First Doorbuster Friday at Pinewood Outlet. You ready?
KYLEI have stretched. I have hydrated. I am wearing knee pads.
MANAGERIt's a sale. Not a rugby match.
KYLEHalf off TVs, half off coats, half off every toy on aisle nine? It's a rugby match.
MANAGERDoors open at six a.m. Just smile and point to the deals.
Direction: Quick comedy two-hander: calm, tired manager and an over-prepared new hire What it is for: A short duet with a clear straight role and comic role. Trains snappy turn-taking. Watch out for: Leaving gaps between lines. Pick up cues fast. The sale details are inside KYLE's joke line; make sure the listener still hears 'half off'. What casting listens for: In duet work casting listens for contrast. The two characters need different energy, not just different pitches.
Ask Me What to Read
Local shop, bookshopAdult (40-55)IrishOne narrator60 secondsabout 62s
Right. I'll be honest with you. The Crooked Shelf is not a big shop. The floor slopes. The door sticks in the rain. And there's a cat called Dickens who sleeps on the poetry and will not be moved.
But here's what we do have. Every book on these shelves was chosen by someone who read it first. Mysteries that'll keep you up past midnight. Cookbooks with actual gravy stains. Well, no, those are the second-hand ones in the back. And a children's corner with beanbags and a rug shaped like a whale.
And we've got me. Tell me the last book you loved, and I'll find you the next one. I am very rarely wrong. Ask anyone. Ask Dickens.
We'll order in anything we haven't got, and our Thursday book club always has tea and far too many biscuits.
The Crooked Shelf, on Harbour Lane. Come in and get lost for a while.
Direction: Chatty, warm, self-deprecating; a shop owner talking over the counter What it is for: Long-form local spot built on character. Trains a digression that comes back on track. Watch out for: Losing the thread on the gravy-stain aside. It is a self-correction, so play it as one, then get right back to the list. The sell is 'Tell me the last book you loved'. What casting listens for: Casting listens for charm and for whether a real person seems to be talking. An Irish read should be natural, never stage-Irish.
The Last-Minute Bouquet
Local shop, floristMature (55+)Neutral AmericanOne narrator30 secondsabout 29s
It's February thirteenth. It's nine o'clock at night. And you have just remembered.
Don't panic. Call Stem and Ribbon.
We have roses, tulips, and the kind of wildflower bouquet that says I planned this for weeks. Order by ten, and we will deliver anywhere in town before breakfast, with a handwritten card.
Your secret is safe with us. We have kept a lot of them.
Stem and Ribbon Florist. Love, delivered on time.
Direction: Warm, amused, conspiratorial; she has seen it all What it is for: A seasonal local spot with a wink. Trains playing to one listener. Watch out for: Reading it sweet. She is gently teasing someone who forgot. The turn is 'Don't panic', which is reassurance, not a gag. What casting listens for: Casting listens for intimacy: does it sound like she is talking to one person?
On Sunday mornings, the trucks roll in from the farms outside town, and by eight o'clock our shelves look like a painting.
Peaches that drip down your wrist. Sweet corn picked yesterday. Tomatoes that taste like tomatoes, which you may have forgotten is possible.
At Greenacre Market, we buy local whenever we can, and we price it so you can come back every week.
Greenacre Market. Fresh from just down the road.
Direction: Warm, sensory, a little savoring; relaxed pace What it is for: Sensory food-retail copy. Trains making the listener taste the words. Watch out for: Rushing the produce. Each item is a picture: the peach, the corn, the tomato. The small joke 'which you may have forgotten is possible' is dry, not big. What casting listens for: Grocery casting listens for appetite appeal. Can you make a tomato sound delicious?
Groceries add up. Now they pay you back.
Download the Kettle Hill Grocers app and earn points on every item in your cart, from bananas to birthday cake.
Kettle Hill Grocers. Shop. Scan. Save.
Direction: Upbeat, crisp, friendly; a light bounce on the tag What it is for: App and loyalty promo in fifteen seconds. Trains a clean call to action. Watch out for: Letting the middle sentence run on. Breathe after 'app'. The tag is three short verbs; give each one its own space. What casting listens for: Casting listens for the call to action. Can the listener remember what to do?
A Word From Biscuit
Local shop, pet storeAnyNeutral AmericanOne narrator30 secondsabout 32s
Hi. My name is Biscuit. I am a dog. I want to tell you about my favorite place.
It is Barkley Street Pet Supply. It smells like a thousand treats. The people there know my name. They helped my human find food I actually finish, and a bed I do not have to steal from the couch.
Also, there is a bin of squeaky toys. A whole bin.
Barkley Street Pet Supply. Good dogs go there. Also cats, I guess.
Direction: Earnest, excitable, a dog telling you a very important thing What it is for: Character copy from a pet's point of view. Trains a sincere character without cartooning. Watch out for: Doing a silly dog voice. Biscuit is completely sincere, and that is why it is funny. The payoff is the last line, a slightly grudging 'Also cats, I guess.' What casting listens for: Casting listens for a character that is fun but still clear enough to sell the store.
The Cat Is Unimpressed
Local shop, pet storeAdult (25-40)Neutral AmericanOne narrator15 secondsabout 15s
I bought my cat an expensive tower. He sat in the box it came in.
At Furrow and Tail, we get it. Toys, beds and treats for pets with standards.
Furrow and Tail. Free box with every purchase.
Direction: Deadpan, weary cat owner, dry to the end What it is for: Dry observational comedy in fifteen seconds. Trains underplaying. Watch out for: Telling us it is funny. The first line is a flat report. 'Free box with every purchase' is the button, so give it a beat before. What casting listens for: Casting listens for trust in the writing. Deadpan only works when you commit to it.
Birthday Bash
Local event, toy storeAdult (25-40)Neutral AmericanOne narrator30 secondsabout 29s
Attention, grown-ups! The Toybox Junction Birthday Bash starts this Saturday!
Building sets, board games, art kits, stuffed animals the size of a small bear, and remote control cars that go way too fast for your living room.
Plus face painting, a bubble machine, and free gift wrapping all weekend long!
Bring the kids. Bring the grandparents. Bring your inner eight-year-old.
Toybox Junction, at the corner of Elm and Fifth. Where play comes first!
Direction: Big, bouncy, family-friendly hype; fun, not frantic What it is for: High-energy family event read. Trains sustained energy with clear details. Watch out for: Peaking in the first line with nowhere to go. Start excited and keep lifting to 'inner eight-year-old'. The address still needs to be crystal clear. What casting listens for: Kids and family casting listens for genuine fun. It has to sound like you want to be there.
First Light
Seasonal sale, outdoor gearMature (55+)Neutral AmericanOne narrator60 secondsabout 58s
There is a moment, right before sunrise, when the whole mountain holds its breath.
The stove is hissing. The coffee is almost ready. Your boots are still wet from yesterday's river crossing, and you would not trade this for anything.
At Switchback Outfitters, we have been getting people to that moment for a long time. Tents that stand up to the wind. Packs that fit your back, not somebody else's. Jackets, boots, stoves, maps, and the small things you only forget once.
And when you are not sure which trail is right for you, ask. Everybody behind our counter has slept on the ground more nights than they can count. They will tell you the truth about a trail, including when to turn back.
Gear up this fall during our Trailhead Sale, with savings on tents, packs and boots.
Switchback Outfitters. See you at first light.
Direction: Quiet, grounded, close-mic storyteller; the sale is said plainly What it is for: Cinematic outdoor-brand storytelling. Trains stillness and imagery at a slow pace. Watch out for: Getting gravelly to sound rugged. Just be calm and specific. The turn is 'And when you are not sure which trail is right for you, ask.' The sale line should be simple and matter-of-fact. What casting listens for: Outdoor brands want authenticity. Casting listens for someone who has actually slept on the ground.
Twenty-Five Years
Local shop, jewelryAdult (40-55)Neutral AmericanOne narrator60 secondsabout 55s
She still wears the ring you bought her when you had nothing. The stone is small. The band is thin. And she has never once taken it off. Not once.
Twenty-five years. Two kids. One very old dog. A kitchen you painted three times because she could not decide on the yellow.
Maybe it is time to say it again.
At Castellan Jewelers, our family has been helping people say the important things for three generations. Anniversary bands. Pendants and bracelets. Earrings she will notice you noticed. Or, if you want to keep that first ring exactly as it is, we can design something to sit right beside it.
Come in and talk to us. No pressure, no rush, just coffee and a quiet table to think.
Castellan Jewelers, on Market Square. For the things worth saying twice.
Direction: Warm, intimate, smooth; speaking to one husband, not a crowd What it is for: Emotional retail storytelling. Trains holding feeling without getting syrupy. Watch out for: Pouring on romance. The details (the dog, the yellow paint) are funny and real; let them be. The turn is 'Maybe it is time to say it again.' Say it simply. What casting listens for: Jewelry clients listen for sincerity. Casting wants warmth that never tips into a greeting card.
Pre-Loved
Fashion & beauty, local shopYoung adult (18-25)AustralianOne narrator15 secondsabout 14s
This jacket? Twelve bucks. These boots? Barely worn. This whole outfit? Pre-loved, and loved all over again.
Second Act Resale. Designer labels, vintage finds, and fresh stock every single day.
Give great clothes a second act.
Direction: Bright, chatty, delighted with her finds What it is for: Short upbeat fashion spot with an accent. Trains quick, sparkly delivery. Watch out for: Flattening the questions. Each 'This jacket?' is a little show-and-tell. Slow slightly for the tag so it does not get lost. What casting listens for: Casting listens for personality in a very short read. An Australian read should be natural, not broad.
