Speed Is Everything

Consumer tech, phoneYoung adult (18-25)Neutral AmericanOne narrator15 secondsabout 15s
Tap. Done. Swipe. Done. Shoot, edit, send. Done, done, done. The new Quillon Q9 is built for people who don't wait. Faster chip, quicker camera, and apps that open before you finish thinking. Quillon Q9. Keep up.

Direction: High energy, punchy, every 'Done' a little faster than the last
What it is for: A rhythm drill. Short hits that have to build without getting louder.
Watch out for: Hitting every 'Done' the same. They are a countdown: each one quicker and lighter. Then the brand line settles.
What casting listens for: Hype spots are about control. Casting wants energy that still sounds like it was a choice.

Coffee On

Smart homeAdult (30-45)Neutral AmericanOne narrator30 secondsabout 28s
It's six forty-five. The kids are yelling about socks, the dog wants out, and you've got one arm in a coat. So you just say it. Lights on in the kitchen. Coffee on. What's the weather? Play something that isn't cartoons. Hearthly listens, even over the chaos, and handles the little things so you can handle the big ones. Like finding that other sock. Hearthly. Your home, finally listening.

Direction: Warm, a little frazzled, smiling through the chaos
What it is for: Real-parent warmth. Talking to the listener and to the device in the same breath.
Watch out for: Reading the voice commands like a robot, or like a sales pitch. She says them the way you'd call to someone in the next room. The turn is 'Like finding that other sock.'
What casting listens for: Casting listens for whether the commands and the narration sound like the same person.

See the Unseen

Consumer tech, phoneAdult (40-55)Neutral AmericanOne narrator30 secondsabout 30s
Look closer. The frost on a window is a city of tiny ferns. A moth's wing is a mosaic of tiny scales. The thread on your sleeve is a rope, twisted a hundred times. It was always there. You just couldn't see it. The Orrin 7 has a macro lens that gets closer than your eyes ever could, and lets you keep what you find. Orrin 7. The world is bigger than it looks.

Direction: Hushed, curious, leaning in, like you're showing someone a secret
What it is for: Imagery and wonder. Painting pictures with a quiet voice without going breathy.
Watch out for: Going full movie-trailer. It is curiosity, not doom. The turn is 'You just couldn't see it', where you stop describing and start selling.
What casting listens for: Casting listens for whether each image gets its own picture in your head, or whether they blur into one list.

Lid Open, Go

Consumer tech, laptopAdult (25-40)Neutral AmericanOne narrator15 secondsabout 15s
Big project? Open the lid. The Arvell Slate 14 wakes up instantly, renders fast, and runs all day on one charge. Bright screen, quiet fans, zero excuses. Arvell Slate 14. Do the work you came to do.

Direction: Confident, crisp, no-nonsense, a slight smile on 'zero excuses'
What it is for: Authority in fifteen seconds. Crisp specs without sounding like a list.
Watch out for: Racing the spec line. 'Bright screen, quiet fans, zero excuses' is three beats; the third one is the joke.
What casting listens for: Tech brands want confidence without arrogance. Casting listens for ease on the product name.

Loading Screen, Gone

Consumer tech, gamingYoung adult (18-25)Neutral AmericanOne narrator30 secondsabout 27s
Remember loading screens? Neither will you. The Kestrel Arc drops you straight into the game. No waiting. No stutter. No excuses. Just worlds so sharp you'll see the rain on the armor, and hear the footsteps behind you before you turn around. Grab the controller. Your squad is already in. The boss is already awake. And you are already late. Kestrel Arc. Press start and mean it.

Direction: Hype, gamer energy, building to a grin on the last line
What it is for: Sustained hype with a build. Gaming spots live or die on momentum.
Watch out for: Peaking on the first line and having nowhere to go. Start playful, build through 'already in, already awake, already late', then land the tag clean.
What casting listens for: Gaming casting wants someone who sounds like they actually play. Enthusiasm, not announcer shouting.

The Meeting About the Meeting

B2B / SaaS, duetAdult (30-45)Neutral AmericanTwo narrators (duet)30 secondsabout 30s

Cast: DANASAM

DANADid you get my email about the doc?
SAMWhich doc?
DANAThe one with the notes from the call about the meeting.
SAMVersion four, or version four final?
DANA...There's a version four final?
SAMKidding. It's all in Tandemly now. One doc, everyone's edits, live. The chat's right there on the side.
DANASo I don't need the email.
SAMYou never needed the email.
DANATandemly. Fewer meetings about meetings.

Direction: Dry office comedy, two coworkers, quick back-and-forth
What it is for: Duet timing for B2B. Office comedy that still has to sell software.
Watch out for: Stepping on each other's lines or leaving huge gaps. Keep it conversational. The turn is Dana's '...There's a version four final?'; give it a real beat of horror.
What casting listens for: Casting for B2B comedy listens for people who sound like real coworkers, not actors doing coworkers.

The Boring Parts

Consumer tech, automotiveAdult (40-55)Neutral AmericanOne narrator60 secondsabout 58s
Your commute used to be seventy-two minutes of brake lights. Seventy-two minutes of the same four songs and the same gray bumper in front of you. Now picture it differently. The Calder Meridian warms the cabin before you leave, because it read your calendar. On the highway, it holds its lane, keeps its distance and handles the stop-and-go, while your hands rest easy on the wheel, ready when you want it back. The cabin is quiet enough to hear yourself think. The screen shows you the road ahead, not a wall of settings. And when you'd rather drive, really drive, it steps aside. That's the idea. Not a car that takes over. A car that takes the boring parts. The Calder Meridian. Electric, intelligent, and very good at traffic, so you don't have to be. Book a test drive at your nearest Calder studio.

Direction: Calm, modern, understated, a quiet smile under it
What it is for: Long-form automotive. Holding a calm, premium read for a full minute.
Watch out for: Selling too hard in the middle. The spec paragraph should sound easy. The turn is 'Not a car that takes over. A car that takes the boring parts.' Slow down there.
What casting listens for: Car brands cast for trust. Casting listens for a voice you'd let drive.

Notice the Little Things

Consumer tech, wearableAdult (30-45)Neutral AmericanOne narrator30 secondsabout 28s
Some days you're running on four hours of sleep and three coffees, and you don't even notice. Pulsewise does. The Pulsewise Band tracks your sleep, your steps and your stress through the day, then gives you one gentle nudge at a time. Get up and stretch. Take a breath. Maybe bed a little earlier tonight. No lectures. No guilt. Just a better picture of you. Pulsewise. Small signals, better days.

Direction: Caring, gentle, like a friend who noticed you look tired
What it is for: Empathy without sap. A wellness read that stays light.
Watch out for: Going soft and breathy, which reads as a medication ad. Keep it bright and practical. The three nudges are little jokes, not instructions.
What casting listens for: Wellness tech casting listens for warmth that is still grounded and believable.

One More Episode

App, streamingAdult (25-40)Neutral AmericanOne narrator30 secondsabout 28s
It's eleven fifty-two. You have work in the morning. And the episode just ended on a cliffhanger. Literally, someone is hanging off a cliff. Couchlight has thousands of shows and movies, from the series everyone's talking about to the film you forgot you loved. New stuff every week, on every screen you own. So go on. One more episode. We won't tell. Couchlight. Try it free for thirty days.

Direction: Playful, conspiratorial, a late-night grin
What it is for: Comic complicity. You are on the listener's side against their own bedtime.
Watch out for: Missing the joke on 'Literally, someone is hanging off a cliff.' It is a throwaway, not a punchline. And 'We won't tell' is a whisper, not a wink.
What casting listens for: Streaming spots cast for personality. Casting listens for a read that feels like a friend on the couch.

Sunday Dinner, Wherever

App, socialMature (55+)IrishOne narrator60 secondsabout 56s
My family is scattered all over the place now. One son in Boston, a daughter in Melbourne, and a granddaughter somewhere in Portugal, learning to surf, apparently. For years, Sunday dinner was just me and the telly. Then my grandson set me up with Kinfold. He did it in about four minutes, which he reminded me of several times. Now there's a little family page that's only ours. Photos of the surfing, which I try not to look at too closely. Voice notes from Boston. A recipe thread that has gotten very competitive about my own soda bread. And on Sundays, we all ring in at once. Somebody's eating breakfast, somebody's eating supper, and I'm talking over all of them. It's not the same as having them home. But it's closer than I thought I'd get. Kinfold. Keep your people close.

Direction: Real person, warm, wry, a grandmother telling you a story over tea
What it is for: Testimonial storytelling. A mature real-person read with humour and a quiet emotional landing.
Watch out for: Playing it sad. She is funny and a bit smug about the soda bread. The turn is 'It's not the same as having them home.' Let that sit, then lift into the last line.
What casting listens for: Mature real-person voices are in demand. Casting listens for someone who sounds like a person, not a spokesperson.

Capture Every Moment

Consumer tech, phoneYoung adult (18-25)Neutral AmericanOne narrator30 secondsabout 28s
Birthday candles in a dark room. Your friend's band in a basement bar. The fireworks everyone films and nobody can watch later. Most phones give up when the lights go down. The Fennec 8 doesn't. Its night mode pulls in color and detail you didn't know were there, and the video stays steady even when you're dancing. So stop apologizing for blurry photos. Fennec 8. Made for after dark.

Direction: Upbeat, energetic, like you're out with friends
What it is for: Youthful energy for a camera spot. Quick scene-setting, then a confident product sell.
Watch out for: Flattening the three opening pictures into a list. Each one is a different night out. The turn is 'The Fennec 8 doesn't.' Land it with a smile.
What casting listens for: Casting listens for authentic young-adult energy, not an older voice playing young.

Coffee Shop Headquarters

Consumer tech, laptopAdult (25-40)Neutral AmericanOne narrator30 secondsabout 29s
Nine a.m., it's a laptop at the kitchen table. Eleven, it folds back into a tablet for the client walkthrough on the train. Two p.m., it's propped up in a coffee shop, taking notes with the pen while the latte gets cold. The Foldwell Flex. Full keyboard, touchscreen, all-day battery, and light enough that you forget it's in your bag. Wherever you sit down, that's the office. Foldwell Flex. Work from anywhere, actually.

Direction: Dynamic, easy, professional with a smile
What it is for: Moving through time. A day-in-the-life structure where each time stamp resets the energy.
Watch out for: Rushing the time stamps. 'Nine a.m.', 'Eleven', 'Two p.m.' are scene changes; give each a tiny breath. 'Actually' is the wink at the end.
What casting listens for: Casting listens for a voice that sounds like it works for a living, not like it narrates stock footage.

Step Through

Consumer tech, virtual realityAdult (25-40)Neutral BritishOne narrator30 secondsabout 30s
Put it on. Breathe. The room you were standing in is gone. Now there's a cliff edge, and wind, and a sky that goes on forever. Turn your head, and the world turns with you. Reach out, and your hands are there. Race a friend across a frozen lake. Take a boxing class on the moon. Or just sit on that cliff for a while. Veyra One. Somewhere else is closer than you think.

Direction: Intimate, captivating, a guide leading you somewhere new
What it is for: Guided-experience voice. Present-tense instructions that pull the listener into a space.
Watch out for: Getting spooky. It is wonder, not horror. The turn is 'Or just sit on that cliff for a while', which drops the pace after the busy middle.
What casting listens for: Casting listens for whether the listener would follow your instructions. Calm authority.

Quiet Thunder

Consumer tech, automotiveAdult (30-45)Neutral AmericanOne narrator60 secondsabout 59s
The first thing you notice is the silence. No rumble. No idle. Just a soft chime, and a dashboard that glows awake. Then you press the pedal, and the silence becomes something else entirely. The Wrenfield Talon is fully electric, with instant torque that presses you gently into your seat and keeps pulling long after you expect it to stop. It corners flat and low, because the battery sits right where the weight should be. And it charges while you grab lunch, so the road trip stays a road trip. Inside, it's calm. Warm light, real stitching, and a sound system that makes your old playlist sound new. Outside, it's the car people turn around to look at in parking lots. You'll get used to that. Zero tailpipe emissions. Zero apologies. The Wrenfield Talon. Quiet, until it isn't. Visit a Wrenfield showroom and feel it for yourself.

Direction: Sleek, controlled, building from hush to thrill and back
What it is for: Dynamic range in a long spot. The read has to move from silence to power without shouting.
Watch out for: Starting too big. The first line is almost a whisper. The turn is 'the silence becomes something else entirely', where the energy lifts. Bring it back down for 'Inside, it's calm.'
What casting listens for: Premium auto casting listens for restraint. The power should come from pace and intent, not volume.

Keep the Shows

Internet & mobile, streaming TVAdult (25-40)Neutral AmericanOne narrator15 secondsabout 16s
Still paying for two hundred channels to watch four? Switchyard TV gives you live sports, local news and the networks you actually watch, streaming on any screen. No box, no contract. Switchyard TV. Keep the shows, lose the bill.

Direction: Casual, a little amused, talking to a friend about their cable bill
What it is for: Conversational value sell in fifteen seconds.
Watch out for: Punching 'No box, no contract' like a hard sell. Keep it offhand. The whole spot should sound like good advice.
What casting listens for: Casting listens for the 'guy next door' read that still hits the brand name twice clearly.

The House Remembers

Smart homeMature (55+)Southern USOne narrator30 secondsabout 31s
I used to walk around this house every night checking things. Back door locked? Stove off? Porch light on again? Now I just ask. Hollis Home tells me what's what, turns down the heat, locks up, and shows me who's at the door before I get out of my chair. My wife says I finally got a hobby. I told her the house has the hobby. I get the chair. Hollis Home. Your house, looking after you.

Direction: Real person, easygoing, dry humour, porch-swing pace
What it is for: Mature real-person testimonial. Humour and ease in a regional voice.
Watch out for: Performing the accent. Let it live in the rhythm, not in exaggerated vowels. The joke is 'I get the chair'; underplay it.
What casting listens for: Casting for real-person spots listens for someone who doesn't sound like they are reading.

Precision Perfected

Consumer tech, wearableAdult (40-55)Neutral AmericanOne narrator15 secondsabout 13s
Your calendar, your messages, your morning run, and the call you can't miss, all on your wrist. The Castor Series 3. Sapphire glass, all-week battery, and quietly brilliant. Castor. Time, well kept.

Direction: Polished, confident, premium, unhurried even at speed
What it is for: Luxury tech in fifteen seconds. Premium pacing when there is no time to spare.
Watch out for: Cramming. The first sentence is long; take one breath and let it glide. 'Quietly brilliant' should sound quiet.
What casting listens for: Luxury brands cast for polish and ease. Casting listens for a read that never sounds rushed.

The Blank Page

Consumer tech, tabletYoung adult (18-25)Neutral AmericanOne narrator60 secondsabout 59s
I used to carry three sketchbooks, a pencil case the size of a lunchbox and a laptop that sounded like a jet engine every time I opened a big file. Now it's this. The Sketchwell Pro. A screen big enough to lose yourself in, colors so true I stopped double-checking them, and a pen that feels like a pen, not a plastic stick pretending. I sketch on the bus. I ink on my lunch break. Last week I painted an entire album cover on a park bench while a pigeon supervised. When the idea shows up, and it never shows up at a convenient time, I'm ready. No setup. No cables. Just open it and go. People ask me what app I use, what brush settings, what's the secret. Honestly? The secret is that it's always with me. Sketchwell Pro. Make the thing you keep thinking about.

Direction: Real person, animated, a young artist who loves her tools
What it is for: Long real-person testimonial. Enthusiasm that stays specific for a full minute.
Watch out for: Getting salesy on the product paragraph. She is describing her own gear, not reading a spec sheet. The turn is 'Honestly? The secret is that it's always with me.' Drop the energy and mean it.
What casting listens for: Casting listens for whether the enthusiasm feels earned and personal all the way to the end.

Before the Sun

Consumer tech, wearableAdult (25-40)AustralianOne narrator30 secondsabout 29s
Five a.m. Headlamp on. It's just you and the road. The Stridecraft Trail is already counting. Pace, distance, heart rate, elevation, the lot. It maps the route so you won't get lost, and tells you when to push and when to back off. Finish, and it shows you exactly how far you've come since last month. Rain, mud, forty degrees in the shade. It keeps going. So do you. Stridecraft. Earn the sunrise.

Direction: Motivating, gritty, building steadily like a run
What it is for: Sports motivation with a build. Pace and intensity climbing to the tag.
Watch out for: Shouting to sound motivated. It is a steady climb. The turn is 'So do you.' Land it low and certain, then deliver the tag.
What casting listens for: Sports brands cast for grit and authenticity. Casting listens for a voice that sounds like it has been up at five.

The Open-Plan Office

Consumer tech, audioAdult (30-45)Neutral AmericanOne narrator15 secondsabout 12s
The open-plan office. Keyboards. Chewing. Someone's speakerphone. Put on the Hushline H7. And... gone. Rich, clear sound, and noise cancelling that actually cancels. Hushline H7. Hear only what you choose.

Direction: Deadpan, dry, weary, then quietly pleased
What it is for: Deadpan timing. Comedy from flat delivery and one well-placed pause.
Watch out for: Rushing the pause before 'gone'. The spot is built on that silence. Keep the noise list flat and tired.
What casting listens for: Deadpan is a real casting category. Casting listens for commitment to the flatness without losing the brand.

The Dog's Name

CybersecurityAdult (30-45)Neutral AmericanOne narrator30 secondsabout 28s
Your password is your dog's name and your birth year. We know this. Because everybody's password is their dog's name and their birth year. Keywarden creates strong, different passwords for every account, remembers them all, and fills them in for you. It even warns you if one of your logins turns up in a data breach. Your dog doesn't need that kind of pressure. Keywarden. Log in like nobody's guessing.

Direction: Deadpan, dry, mildly disappointed in you
What it is for: Deadpan comedy for a serious product. Keeping it funny without undercutting the trust.
Watch out for: Winking at the jokes. Say every line as if it is obvious. The turn is 'Keywarden creates strong, different passwords', where you get sincere for one sentence.
What casting listens for: Security brands want to be trusted. Casting listens for someone who can be funny and still sound reliable.

The Shoebox

B2B / SaaSAdult (40-55)Neutral AmericanOne narrator60 secondsabout 57s
I run a landscaping company. Twelve people, four trucks, and until last spring, one shoebox. The shoebox was for receipts. And invoices. And a few envelopes I was afraid to open. Every Sunday night I'd sit at the kitchen table trying to work out who'd paid, who hadn't, and why a client in Maple Ridge thought we'd charged him twice. My accountant finally staged an intervention. She set us up on Tallyforge. Now the crew logs jobs from their phones. The invoice goes out the same day, with photos of the finished work attached. Clients pay online, and I get a little ping I've learned to love. Reminders go out on their own, so I'm not making awkward calls. I got my Sundays back. The shoebox is in the garage. It holds screws now. Tallyforge. Invoicing for people who'd rather be working.

Direction: Real person, small business owner, warm and a little exasperated
What it is for: Small-business testimonial. A long B2B read that sounds like an owner, not a brochure.
Watch out for: Sounding like an ad on the feature paragraph. She is proud of her crew and relieved, not selling software. The turn is 'I got my Sundays back.' Give it room.
What casting listens for: B2B casting increasingly wants real owners. Casting listens for credibility and a sense of humour.

Out Past the Water Tower

Internet & mobileMature (55+)Southern USOne narrator60 secondsabout 56s
Out here, past the water tower, the internet used to be more of a rumor. My granddaughter would come visit and hold her phone up in the yard like she was trying to catch rain. Video calls froze on my face mid-sentence. For a while there, the whole family thought I just made the one expression. Then Ridgeway Fiber ran a line down our road. Real fiber, all the way to the house. Local crew, too. The installer's mama goes to our church. Now my granddaughter streams her shows from the porch swing. My son works from the spare room two weeks a month. And I watch the ball game without it freezing every time somebody scores. If you live out where the maps get vague, give them a call. Ridgeway Fiber. Fast internet, for the rest of us.

Direction: Real person, local, slow humour, proud of his road
What it is for: Local-spot storytelling. A regional real-person read with jokes that land by understatement.
Watch out for: Pushing the jokes. 'The whole family thought I just made one expression' works best nearly deadpan. Keep the pace unhurried but never sleepy.
What casting listens for: Regional ISP and utility spots cast real voices. Casting listens for a neighbor, not a narrator.

Four Days In

Internet & mobile, duetAdult (40-55)Neutral AmericanTwo narrators (duet)30 secondsabout 34s

Cast: JESSMOM

JESSMom. Mom. Mom.
MOMHi.
JESSI'm out of data.
MOMIt's the fourth.
JESSI know what day it is.
MOMYou used a whole month of data in four days?
JESSThere was a video.
MOMWhat video?
JESSA lot of videos.
MOMOkay. We're switching to Ferncell. Unlimited data on every line, one bill, and a price I can actually read.
JESSSo I can watch the videos?
MOMYou can watch the videos. After homework.
JESS...Define homework.

Direction: Family comedy, quick and warm; JESS is a teenager, MOM is unimpressed
What it is for: Duet comedy with an age gap. One voice plays a teen convincingly without cartooning.
Watch out for: Playing JESS as a whiny caricature. She thinks she is being perfectly reasonable. The last line, '...Define homework', needs a real pause first.
What casting listens for: Telecom spots use a lot of family duets. Casting listens for chemistry and believable ages.

The Fish on the Pier

App, cloud storageMature (55+)Neutral BritishOne narrator60 secondsabout 60s
There's a photo of my father, aged about nine, standing on a pier in Brighton, holding a fish that is clearly bigger than he expected. It's my favourite picture in the world. And for thirty years it lived in a biscuit tin, next to a leaking radiator. These days, the photos aren't in a tin. They're scattered across three old phones, a laptop that won't switch on and a memory card in a drawer somewhere. Keepsake Cloud gathers them all up. Every photo and video, backed up automatically, sorted by date and by face, and kept safe even if your phone takes a swim. I scanned the pier photo too. Last Christmas, I shared the whole family album with my nieces. They laughed at the fish for ten minutes. That's the thing about memories. They're only worth keeping if someone gets to see them. Keepsake Cloud. Keep what matters.

Direction: Warm, reflective, gently funny, never sentimental
What it is for: Nostalgia with restraint. A long, tender read that earns its emotion with a laugh.
Watch out for: Going misty from the first line. The fish is funny. The turn is 'They're only worth keeping if someone gets to see them.' That is the only line that should ache.
What casting listens for: Casting listens for warmth that doesn't tip into greeting card. Mature British voices are in steady demand for this.

What's for Dinner

AppAdult (25-40)Neutral AmericanOne narrator15 secondsabout 12s
It's six o'clock and nobody knows what's for dinner. Again. Mealwright plans your week, builds the grocery list, and turns what's already in your fridge into something good. Mealwright. Dinner, decided.

Direction: Conversational, relatable, a sigh that turns into relief
What it is for: Problem-solution in fifteen seconds. The sigh and the fix both have to fit.
Watch out for: Skipping the 'Again.' It is the whole joke. Tired on the first two lines, bright from the brand name on.
What casting listens for: Casting listens for a clear energy shift between problem and solution in very little time.

Three in the Morning

Cybersecurity, B2BAdult (40-55)ScottishOne narrator60 secondsabout 56s
At three in the morning, your business is closed. The lights are off. The staff are home asleep. But somewhere, someone is trying the door. Not the front door. The digital one. A fake invoice in an inbox. A password reused one too many times. A laptop that missed last month's update. That's all it takes. And for a small business, one bad night can mean a very long month. Stonewatch Cyber watches while you sleep. Our team monitors your network around the clock, spots unusual activity, and shuts it down before it spreads. We train your staff to spot the dodgy emails, and we keep every device patched and every backup tested. And if something does get through, you'll have a real person on the phone, not a ticket number. Stonewatch Cyber. Book a free security check today.

Direction: Announcer, measured, serious then reassuring
What it is for: Tension to trust. A long B2B read that raises the stakes and then resolves them.
Watch out for: Playing the first half like a horror trailer. It is a sober warning. The turn is 'Stonewatch Cyber watches while you sleep', where the voice warms and gets practical.
What casting listens for: Security casting listens for calm authority. You should sound like the person who fixes the problem.

The Only Room With Wi-Fi

Internet & mobile, duetYoung adult (18-25)Neutral AmericanTwo narrators (duet)30 secondsabout 32s

Cast: THEOPRIYA

THEOWhere are you?
PRIYAThe bathroom.
THEOWhy?
PRIYAIt's the only room with Wi-Fi.
THEOYou've been in there forty minutes.
PRIYAI'm on a work call. I put a plant behind me. It looks like an office.
THEO...It does not.
THEOI ordered Reachly Mesh. Three little units, strong signal in every room. Even the kitchen.
PRIYAThe kitchen?
THEOThe kitchen.
PRIYAI think I'm going to cry.
THEODo it in the kitchen.

Direction: Deadpan roommates, flat and quick, underplayed
What it is for: Deadpan duet. Two flat deliveries that still have to be distinct characters.
Watch out for: Letting the comedy get big. Neither of them thinks this is funny. The beat before '...It does not' is the laugh; hold it.
What casting listens for: Casting listens for rhythm between the two voices and whether the deadpan stays committed to the last line.

Both Eyes Open

App, financeYoung adult (18-25)Neutral AmericanOne narrator30 secondsabout 28s
Okay, confession. I used to check my bank balance with one eye closed. Like a horror movie. Then I got Tillwise. It sorts every purchase automatically, so I could finally see where my money was going. Spoiler: iced coffee. So much iced coffee. Now I set a little goal each month, Tillwise keeps track, and I actually saved for my trip to Montreal. Both eyes open. Tillwise. Know where it goes.

Direction: Real person, chatty, self-deprecating, like a voice memo to a friend
What it is for: Gen Z real-person read. Casual, funny and specific without sounding scripted.
Watch out for: Pausing like an actor on 'Spoiler: iced coffee.' It is a quick aside. The turn is 'Both eyes open.' Say it with quiet pride.
What casting listens for: App casting wants authenticity. Casting listens for a read that sounds improvised even though it isn't.

There's Still Kevin

B2B / SaaSAdult (30-45)Neutral AmericanOne narrator30 secondsabout 28s
I cut hair for a living. What I don't do anymore is answer the phone with clippers in my hand. Chairtime takes bookings for me, day or night. Clients pick a slot online, get a reminder the day before, and if someone cancels, the next person on the waitlist gets the spot automatically. No more no-shows. Well, fewer. There's still Kevin. Chairtime. Booking software for people who work with their hands.

Direction: Real person, a barber between clients, easygoing and funny
What it is for: Small-business real-person spot. Selling software as a working tradesperson.
Watch out for: Losing the Kevin joke by rushing it. 'Well, fewer.' is a correction; 'There's still Kevin.' is a shrug. Two separate beats.
What casting listens for: Casting listens for a believable working person. If you sound like an announcer, the spot dies.
