My son trades everything in his lunchbox. Carrots. Sandwiches. Once, his shoe.
But never his Wobbleberry Fruit Chews. Made with real fruit, no artificial colours, and gone by recess.
Wobbleberry. Lunchbox legend status.
Direction: Parent-to-parent, conspiratorial and amused What it is for: A quick parent-to-parent snack read. Trains a knowing, confiding tone at speed. Coach's note: Watch out for selling to the kids. You're talking to the other parents at the school gate. The smile goes on 'lunchbox legend'. What casting listens for: Casting listens for a real parent with a sense of humour. Relatable beats bubbly.
In a world where only one top can rule... there is THUNDERWHIRL!
Launch it! Spin it! Knock your rivals out of the ring!

Direction: Over-the-top 90s toy announcer; huge, gravelly, then a lightning-fast legal line What it is for: The 90s toy-commercial parody. Trains big announcer energy and a clean speed-read disclaimer. Coach's note: Watch out for blowing it all on line one. Build through 'launch it, spin it'. The legal line is the real test: fast, flat, every word audible. What casting listens for: Casting listens for commitment to the bit and a disclaimer that is quick but perfectly clear.
Okay so I made glitter slime, and glow slime, and slime that smells like cherries, and one that's super stretchy AND squishy!
The Gloopsmith Slime Lab. It's the best mess ever. Ask a grown-up first!
Direction: Kid-sounding character, breathless and delighted; adult performer What it is for: A kid-voiced character spot. Trains a believable child energy without baby talk. Coach's note: Watch out for going squeaky. A kid voice comes from thinking like a nine-year-old: excitement, run-on breath, big emphasis on gross words. Keep the brand clear. What casting listens for: Casting listens for a kid who sounds real, not a cartoon. Specific excitement beats pitch.
Day three of rain. The kids have built a fort, knocked it down, and argued about who knocked it down.
Doodlepop. Drawing games and stories for ages four to eight, with no ads, ever.
Doodlepop. Rain, meet your match.
Direction: Warm dad, a little frazzled, relieved by the end What it is for: A kids' app read aimed at parents. Trains a small comic arc in fifteen seconds.

Three, two, one... bubble blast off!
The Bubblenaut Rocket fires hundreds of bubbles a minute. Chase them, pop them, catch them on your nose!

Batteries not included. Bubble solution sold separately.
Direction: Huge, bouncy, kid-show host energy; a disclaimer rattled off at the end What it is for: A high-energy toy read with a speed disclaimer. Trains bright energy and a fast legal tag. Coach's note: Watch out for getting shrill. Energy lives in the smile and the rhythm, not the pitch. Take the last line fast and friendly. What casting listens for: Casting listens for kid-friendly energy that parents won't find annoying.
Backpack Day
Back to schoolAdult (40-55)Neutral AmericanOne narrator15 secondsabout 13s
Padded straps. A water-bottle pocket that actually holds a water bottle. And a zip that survives being yanked by a seven-year-old.
Satchelwell backpacks. Three sizes, twelve colours. Ready for school before they are.
Direction: Warm, practical, a mum who's done this before What it is for: A back-to-school read for parents. Trains warm authority with a tidy list. Coach's note: Watch out for listing without colour. Each feature solves a problem she's had. Tag line lands with a smile. What casting listens for: Casting listens for a trustworthy parent voice. Calm and funny sells more than excited here.

I asked my daughter what she was building. She said, 'You'll see.'
Three hours. Four hundred bricks. One very serious face.
Then she showed me. It's a hospital for dragons. There's a lift. There's a snack room. There's a bed shaped like a volcano.
Brickaroo Blocks come in big mix-and-match sets that click with every other Brickaroo set you own.
No instructions needed. Just imagination.
Brickaroo Blocks. Build what only you can see.
Direction: Warm dad voice, quiet wonder, gentle build What it is for: A heartfelt construction-toy read. Trains a quiet emotional build over a simple image. Coach's note: Watch out for pushing the wonder. Let the story do it. The turn is 'It's a hospital for dragons.' Deliver it straight, as a dad hearing it for the first time. What casting listens for: Casting listens for sincerity. Parents should hear themselves in the voice.
MUMEasy. I've done this a hundred times. Just a little wiggle and...
SFX: rumble and clatter
LILYThe dragon wakes up! Your castle's crumbling!
MUMNo, no, no. That's my tower!
LILYWas your tower. Now it's dragon food.
MUMCastle Crumble, the wobbly block game where one wrong move wakes the dragon. For two to five players, ages six and up. Every game ends differently.
LILYRematch?
MUMObviously. Castle Crumble.
Direction: Family game night; MUM is dry and competitive, LILY is a kid-sounding character, gleeful (adult performer) What it is for: A two-voice family board-game spot with a kid character. Trains timing and a believable child voice against a parent. Coach's note: Watch out for playing the kid as a cartoon. Lily is sharp and a bit ruthless. The turn is Mum's 'That's my tower.' Real indignation, then a laugh. What casting listens for: Casting listens for chemistry across ages and a kid voice that sounds like an actual kid.
Are you ready... for SPEED?
Introducing Turbo Tornado Racers! Rev 'em up with the Twist-Charge Launcher and send them screaming down the track, around the bend, and through... the LOOP OF DOOM!
Collect all six racers! Swap the wheels! Race your friends! Only the fastest survive!
Turbo Tornado Racers. Faster than fast!

Direction: Full 90s announcer: gravel, echo, maximum hype, then a blistering-fast disclaimer What it is for: The retro toy-ad parody at thirty seconds. Trains sustained hype and a razor-clear speed read. Coach's note: Watch out for peaking too early and having nowhere to go. The biggest moment is 'the LOOP OF DOOM'. The disclaimer is one breath, crisp and deadpan. What casting listens for: Casting listens for commitment, a sense of humour about the genre, and diction at speed.
Starfall Hollow Summer
Theme park, family day outAdult (30-45)Neutral AmericanOne narrator30 secondsabout 28s
Coasters for the brave ones. Teacups for the dizzy ones. A splash zone for the ones who were always going to get wet anyway.
This summer, Starfall Hollow Adventure Park is open late every Friday and Saturday, with a brand-new family coaster, character parades, and fireworks over the lake at ten.
Kids under three go free, and season passes are on sale now.
Starfall Hollow. The whole family's favourite day.
Direction: Excited parent, sunny and full of momentum What it is for: A theme-park family-day read. Trains a building list and an inviting tag. Coach's note: Watch out for flattening the list of rides. Each ride gets its own colour. The warm beat is the fireworks line. Slow down for it. What casting listens for: Casting listens for excitement that feels like a real family day, not a radio shout.
Captain Crater here, reporting live from the kitchen table, sector seven!
My mission? The crunchiest breakfast in the galaxy. Moonberry O's! Whole grain oats, little purple moonberry stars, and a crunch you can hear from Jupiter!
Pour 'em! Splash 'em! Crunch 'em! Watch the milk turn purple!
Now that's a breakfast worth blasting off for.
Moonberry O's. Part of a balanced breakfast. Captain Crater, over and out!
Direction: Animated mascot energy; a goofy space captain, big and playful but clear What it is for: A cartoon-mascot cereal read. Trains a heightened character that still delivers product copy clearly. Coach's note: Watch out for losing the words inside the character. The accent and bounce are fine, but 'whole grain oats' must be crystal clear. What casting listens for: Animation-leaning casting listens for character choices with commercial clarity underneath.
Every Plushwick friend comes with a name, a birthday, and a little story tucked in its pocket.
Barnaby the badger loves puddles and hates baths. Pip the owl is scared of the dark, so she sleeps with the light on. And Mo the moose is very, very good at hugs.
Soft, washable, and made to be carried everywhere.
Pick one out. He's been waiting for you.
Plushwick. Friends for every adventure.
Direction: Soft, storybook warmth; a gentle bedtime read What it is for: A gentle plush-toy read. Trains a soft storybook delivery without going sleepy. Coach's note: Watch out for letting the energy drop so low it disappears. It's warm, not whispered. The turn is 'He's been waiting for you.' Mean it. What casting listens for: Casting listens for kindness and warmth that parents trust.
Last month, my daughter was guessing at words. Tonight, she read me the menu at the diner. The whole thing. Including the specials.
Letterloop is a reading app for ages three to seven, with fifteen-minute games that build phonics, sight words and confidence, one level at a time. No ads. No chat. Just reading.
Try it free for a month.
Letterloop. Little readers, big moments.
Direction: Friendly, parent-to-parent, genuinely proud What it is for: A kids' reading app read for parents. Trains warmth and a clear product middle. Coach's note: Watch out for burying the key detail. 'Fifteen minutes a day' is the promise; make it simple and clear. The pride on 'she read me the menu' is the button. What casting listens for: Casting listens for credible, trustworthy warmth.
When I was a boy, I had a train set in the attic. I'd lie on the floor for hours, watching it go round.
This Christmas, I've bought one for my granddaughter. Whistle Stop Rail: a real puffing chimney, a working level crossing, and a little station master who waves.
It's for her, of course. Mostly for her.
Mostly.
Whistle Stop Rail. All aboard, all ages.
Batteries not included.
Direction: Kindly grandfather, twinkling, unhurried What it is for: A nostalgic grandparent read. Trains warmth, pace and a smile in an older voice. Coach's note: Watch out for letting it go sleepy. There's a sparkle in this man. The joke is 'Mostly for her. Mostly.' What casting listens for: Casting listens for an older voice that is warm, playful and alive.
This summer... nobody... stays... DRY!
It's the Drenchinator Three Thousand, the ultimate! A super-soaking tank! Triple-blast nozzle! And a range so long, your sister won't see it coming! Or your brother! Or Dad!
Pump it up! Take aim! Unleash the tidal wave on the whole backyard!
Drenchinator Three Thousand. Enter the Drench Zone!
Water not included. Sister not included. Always aim below the neck. Each Drenchinator sold separately.
Direction: Retro action-trailer hype; a female announcer who's having the time of her life What it is for: A 90s-style water-blaster parody. Trains big energy, punchy consonants and a crisp speed tag. Coach's note: Watch out for letting the hype get shouty and thin. Keep it resonant and grounded. The speed tag needs to be fast and flat, not mumbled. What casting listens for: Casting listens for commitment to the parody and total clarity at speed.
Toy Fair Saturday
Toy store eventAdult (25-40)Neutral AmericanOne narrator30 secondsabout 30s
This Saturday, Marbleburg Toys is throwing its biggest party of the year: Toy Fair Saturday!
Try out the newest toys before anyone else. Race cars on our giant indoor track. Catch a magic show at eleven and two, and get your face painted, free.

Marbleburg Toys, on Main Street, next to the library. Saturday from ten.
Bring the whole crew.
Direction: Local-radio friendly, upbeat, clear on details What it is for: A local toy-store event read. Trains clarity on dates, times and a list of attractions. Coach's note: Watch out for rushing the when and where. That's what parents need to hear. Brighten on the magic show, then land the address cleanly. What casting listens for: Local casting listens for clarity and friendliness. Every detail has to survive a car radio.
Motors. Sensors. A little screen for a face. And one big question: what will you teach it to do?
Boltbuddy is a build-your-own robot kit for ages eight and up. Snap it together, then use simple drag-and-drop code to make it roll, beep, follow a line, or dodge the cat.
When you've mastered the basics, try the advanced challenges.
Oh, and it dances.
Boltbuddy. Build it. Code it. Make it yours.
Direction: Curious, smart, upbeat; a science-show host What it is for: A STEM toy read. Trains enthusiasm for technical detail without losing warmth. Coach's note: Watch out for letting the tech words go flat. 'Sensors', 'motors' and 'code' each need intent. The payoff is 'and it dances'. What casting listens for: Casting listens for smart and fun together. Parents and kids both need to buy in.
Snortle Game Night
Board games, party gameYoung adult (18-25)Neutral AmericanOne narrator30 secondsabout 30s
The rules of Snortle are simple. Draw a card. Do what it says. Don't laugh.
That's it.
So far tonight, my dad has done a penguin impression, my aunt has read a poem in a pirate voice, and my little brother has lost six rounds in a row because he snorts when he laughs.
That's where the name comes from.
Snortle. The game of trying not to laugh. For the whole family, ages seven and up.
Direction: Comic, building to laughter, a little breathless What it is for: A party-game read that lives on comic escalation. Trains building a laugh into the voice. Coach's note: Watch out for laughing so much the copy gets lost. Build the giggles through the setup; the rule line must be clear. What casting listens for: Casting listens for infectious fun and a clean game explanation.
Saturday. Eight a.m. Soccer. Ten a.m. Swim. Noon. Birthday party across town.
Somewhere in all of that, somebody needs a snack.
Squeezeberry yogurt tubes: creamy, fruity, and ready to go straight from the fridge to the car. Strawberry, mango and blueberry, with no mess, no spoons, and no sticky fingers.
Toss one in the bag. Or three. Or one for the coach.
Squeezeberry. Snack time, squeezed in.
Direction: Sporty-parent energy, upbeat, like a sideline cheer What it is for: A kids' snack read framed around weekend sport. Trains upbeat pacing with a practical sell. Coach's note: Watch out for shouting the sideline lines. It's energy with a smile, not a whistle. The product middle wants to slow a touch for clarity. What casting listens for: Casting listens for a relatable, energetic parent voice.
Bounce Birthday
Family entertainmentYoung adult (18-25)AustralianOne narrator30 secondsabout 27s
Birthday coming up? Forget cleaning the house afterwards. Bring the party to Boingery!

Boingery. Jump higher, grin wider.
Direction: Bright, bouncy, Aussie party energy What it is for: A trampoline-park birthday read in an Australian accent. Trains energy and a clear offer. Coach's note: Watch out for letting the energy go shrill or the accent muddy the offer. Keep 'ten kids' and 'party host' clean. What casting listens for: Casting listens for fun that sounds natural, with an accent that's easy to understand.
Aisle Seven Standoff
Back to schoolAdult (30-45)Neutral AmericanOne narrator30 secondsabout 29s
Aisle seven. Back-to-school week. Me, a three-page supply list, and one question.
Why does a second-grader need twelve glue sticks?
Nobody knows. Not the teacher. Not the other parents, who are all standing here, holding twelve glue sticks, looking just as confused.
Good news, though. Scribbleton Supplies has everything on the school list, all fifteen percent off this week, plus free label printing for every backpack.
Scribbleton Supplies. Back to school, sorted.
Direction: Dry, wry parent in the middle of the store; bright on the offer What it is for: A parent-to-parent back-to-school read built on one observational joke. Trains dry humour and a clean offer. Coach's note: Watch out for rushing the glue-stick question. It's the joke, so give it air. The turn to the offer is 'Good news, though.' Brighten there. What casting listens for: Casting listens for relatable parent humour that still sells the store.
Crayonauts Launch
Toys, art suppliesAdult (40-55)Neutral AmericanOne narrator30 secondsabout 30s
Mission control, this is Crayonauts. We have liftoff.
Sixty-four colours, including Comet Green and Asteroid Orange. Twist-up barrels. No sharpener required. Washable, even from walls. Especially from walls.
Status report. Crew has deployed colour to the paper, the table, and the dog. The dog is fine.
We have a report of a purple giraffe on the fridge. Can you confirm?
Confirmed. The giraffe has a jetpack.
Oh, it's beautiful.
Crayonauts. Colour outside the lines.
Direction: Mock mission-control, deadpan then bursting with glee What it is for: A playful art-supply read in a mission-control voice. Trains a mock-serious character with a warm release. Coach's note: Watch out for staying robotic through the whole thing. The release is 'Oh, it's beautiful.' Mission control is moved by a drawing. What casting listens for: Casting listens for comic control and the ability to switch register.
Deep in the jungles of Planet Krell... a legend was born.
They were ordinary beetles. Until the comet came.
Now they are... MEGA MORPHO MUTANTS!
Meet Stag Commander, with the Pincer-Grip Power Claw! Scarabax, with light-up armour and a battle roar! And Dung Fu, master of the ancient art of... well. You know.
Twist their shells and watch them MORPH from beetle to battle mode in one second flat!
But beware... their enemy is coming. The evil Lord Swattacus and his army of Flyswatter Drones!
Launch the Hive Fortress! Fire the Nectar Cannon! Defend the jungle!
Only YOU can lead the Mutants to victory!
Collect all six Mutants and build your army!
Mega Morpho Mutants. Now at toy stores everywhere.
Each Mutant sold separately. Hive Fortress sold separately. Batteries not included. Lord Swattacus not responsible for household flies.
Direction: Maximum 90s action-figure announcer: gravel, reverb, relentless, then a speed-read legal ending What it is for: The full-length 90s toy-ad parody. Trains stamina, pacing within hype, and a flawless speed disclaimer. Coach's note: Watch out for having one level. Find the peaks: 'MORPH', the villain reveal, 'Collect all six' Drop almost to a hush on 'But beware...'. The legal tag is one breath and every word must survive. What casting listens for: Casting listens for commitment, stamina and diction. The disclaimer often gets you the job.
A Day at Lanternvale
Theme park, family day outAdult (40-55)IrishOne narrator60 secondsabout 63s
We got to Lanternvale at nine sharp. By nine-oh-five, the twins had already found the pirate ship.
By ten, we'd done the log flume twice. I was soaked. My husband was soaked. The twins were delighted.
Then there was the giant maze, where we lost Granny for twenty minutes and found her having tea with a man dressed as a badger.
Lunch was chips by the lake. Then the tractor ride, the petting farm, and a long queue for the Dragon Drop, which our eldest has been measuring herself against for two summers. This year, she was tall enough.
She screamed the entire way down. Then she ran straight back to the queue.
And at dusk, the lantern parade. Hundreds of glowing lanterns floating past, and the twins asleep on our shoulders before it finished.
Lanternvale Family Park. Open daily until October, with family tickets from the gate or online.
Come for the rides. Stay for the lanterns.
Direction: Warm, lively Irish mum telling the story of a perfect day What it is for: A long-form family day-out story. Trains storytelling rhythm across a full day and a warm final beat. Coach's note: Watch out for treating it like a list of attractions. It's a story with a shape: chaos, joy, tiredness, then the tender moment at the lantern parade. Slow right down there. What casting listens for: Casting listens for storytelling warmth and a clean, trusting delivery of the practical details.
When my daughter opened the box, she didn't say anything at first. She just held the doll up next to her face and looked.
Same curly hair. Same brown eyes. Same little gap in her teeth.
Juniper Jubilee Dolls come in over forty skin tones, hair textures and face shapes, with glasses, hearing aids, wheelchairs and freckles available too. Every doll has soft, poseable arms and legs, and outfits you can mix and match.
She's named hers Juniper, because she says that's the right name. Juniper goes everywhere. Breakfast. The bath. The dentist. Juniper has had a lot of check-ups this month.
I didn't cry when she opened it. I cried later, folding laundry, when I realised why it hit me so hard.
I never had one that looked like me.
She does.
Juniper Jubilee Dolls. A friend who sees you.
Outfits and accessories sold separately.
Direction: Tender parent reflection, soft and specific, with a small smile throughout What it is for: A heartfelt doll-brand read for parents. Trains quiet emotional storytelling with restraint. Coach's note: Watch out for going syrupy. The details are funny and real; let them carry it. The turn is 'I never had one that looked like me.' Say it once, simply, then move on. What casting listens for: Casting listens for authentic emotion and a voice parents trust.
Every Sunday, my grandchildren come over and we play Yarnspin Tower. And every Sunday, I win.
They think I'm lucky.
Here's how it works. You pull a card, and it gives you three words. You've got one minute to tell a story using all three. Then you add a block to the tower. If the story's good, you stack it. If the story's bad, the others can make you stack it upside down.
First person to knock the tower over, loses.
It's for two to six players, ages seven and up, and it takes about half an hour, unless my grandson is telling the story, in which case it takes a week.
My granddaughter asked me my secret once.
Tell the story like you believe it. Keep a straight face. And never let them see you wobble.
Also, I've been cheating at cards since nineteen sixty-four. But that's another game.
Yarnspin Tower. Every family has a storyteller.
Direction: Mischievous Irish grandmother, twinkling and competitive What it is for: A grandparent-voiced board-game story. Trains character-driven comedy in an older voice with a clear rules explanation. Coach's note: Watch out for letting the charm swallow the rules. The rules paragraph must be clear and brisk. The comic turn is 'I've been cheating at cards since nineteen sixty-four.' What casting listens for: Casting listens for an older voice with real comic life and a clean commercial middle.
HOSTToday on Kid Review, Oscar, age nine, is testing the Fizzleworks Science Lab. Oscar, what's in the box?
OSCAROkay. So there's twenty experiments. Goggles. Test tubes. And a real magnifying glass, not a toy one.
HOSTWhat did you make first?
OSCARA volcano. Obviously. It erupted all over the table.
HOSTWas that supposed to happen?
OSCARYes. Mostly. Then I made crystals, and they grew overnight, and they're purple, and one is shaped like a shark.
HOSTAnd your parents?
OSCARMy mum liked the instruction cards because they have pictures and a grown-up helper box. My dad liked the part where you make bouncy balls.
HOSTHe liked it more than you?
OSCARHe made six.
HOSTSo, Oscar. Final score?
OSCARTen out of ten. Eleven.
HOSTFizzleworks Science Lab, for ages eight and up, with adult supervision. Make a mess. Learn something.
OSCARCan I keep the goggles?
Direction: HOST is a warm, slightly overwhelmed adult; OSCAR is a kid-sounding character, fast, serious and thrilled (adult performer) What it is for: A two-voice spot with a kid-reviewer character. Trains a child voice with real thought behind it, and a host who listens and reacts. Coach's note: Watch out for making Oscar cute. He is very serious about his review. Host: stay with him, react, don't wait for your cue. The turn is Oscar's 'Ten out of ten. Eleven.' What casting listens for: Casting listens for a kid voice that is believable and specific, and a host who makes the partner funnier.
It's the first warm Saturday of spring. And she's been waiting all week.
She's wearing her helmet with the stickers on it. She's holding the handlebars like they might run away. And she's looking at me, not the path, which is the first thing I tell her not to do.
The Rollamble Starter has three wheels for balance, a wide deck for little feet, and a lean-to-steer design that's easy to learn. When she's ready, it converts to two wheels, and later, to a big-kid scooter.
I hold on to the back of her jacket. We go to the end of the drive. And back. And again.
On the fourth time, she says, 'Dad. You can let go.'
So I let go.
She rolls to the end of the drive on her own, turns around, and grins at me like she's just crossed an ocean.
Rollamble. Their first ride. Their first big 'I did it.'
Always wear a helmet.
Direction: Tender father's voice, quiet pride, a smile that breaks through What it is for: An emotional ride-on toy spot. Trains a tender, slow-building dad story. Coach's note: Watch out for rushing the moment of letting go. 'I let go.' is the whole spot. Take a real breath before it and after it. What casting listens for: Casting listens for sincerity and understatement; the emotion should sneak up on the listener.

NELLGumball and Gadget, Orchard Street. Pajama Night, Friday the twelfth, six o'clock.
THEOSee you in your slippers.
Direction: Two store owners hosting their own spot; warm, playful, finishing each other's sentences What it is for: A two-voice local toy-store event spot. Trains shared hosting, a warm local feel and clear event details in dialogue. Coach's note: Watch out for treating it as two monologues. They're partners who tease each other. The information lines still need to be crystal clear. The turn is Theo's 'Slippers are encouraged.' What casting listens for: Casting listens for local warmth, easy chemistry and clarity on the when and where.
Seven o'clock. Bath. Teeth. Pyjamas. One more glass of water. One more story. One more question about whether sharks sleep.
Bedtime, in our house, used to take about two hours.
Then a friend told me about Nodlet Stories.
It's a bedtime app for little ones, ages two to seven. Gentle stories, read by warm, calm voices, with soft music and a screen that dims to dark, so they can listen with their eyes closed.
There's a new story every night. There's a sleepy-breathing game, where you blow out the stars one by one. And there's a timer, so the story ends quietly and the room stays peaceful.
No ads. No buttons to tap. Nothing to keep them awake.
Last night, my son was asleep before the little fox found his way home.
I stayed and listened to the end.
Nodlet Stories. Try it free for two weeks.
Sweet dreams, little ones.
Direction: Hushed, calm, soothing; starts as a tired parent and settles into storybook softness What it is for: A calm bedtime-app read. Trains dropping energy steadily without losing clarity or warmth. Coach's note: Watch out for starting soft. Begin as a frazzled parent at bedtime, then let the voice settle as the app takes over. The last lines should almost be a lullaby. What casting listens for: Casting listens for calm control. Parents need to believe this voice could get their child to sleep.
