"Walter"
VO SPECS – Note – we would like to consider both FEMALE and MALE VO Female (age 25-50). Has wit, a little wryness, attitude and personality. Friendly. Great voice that adds to personality of the spot but sounds credible when
talking about the product info.
We are only casting for the role of VO.
Open on a woman dressed in athletic wear (as if she just came from yoga class) walking thru the grocery store – there is an elderly woman following her … she inhales as if smelling something delicious. The elderly woman gets "uncomfortably close" to Yoga Woman and … ELDERLY WOMAN (AS SHE INHALES): ...Ahhh, pain cream... (REMINISCING FONDLY) Honey, you smell just like my Walter used to...
On
camera Yoga Woman (horrified!) stops in her tracks as the frame freezes. SUPER: DON’T SMELL LIKE WALTER!
Cut to family of Aspercreme products..
VO: Aspercreme is odor free, so you can have maximum pain relief without that "Walter" smell.
OLDER WOMAN (ON CAMERA) : He was a good man!...
VO: Aspercreme.
No pain. No odor.
"Hopscotch"
VO SPECS – Note – we would like to consider both FEMALE and MALE VO Female (age 25-50). Conversational tone. Needs to sound credible, empathetic, knowledgeable. Friendly, pleasing voice. No over-the-top announcers.
We are only casting for the role of
VO.
This is a charming spot about a grandmother playing hopscotch with her granddaughter. Unfortunately, she’s got some foot pain and after two hops, she realizes she can’t do it – her foot hurts! After using the product – she feels great and is now able to jump rope with her granddaughter!
VO: When you jump into life feet first, it can be painful. Introducing Aspercreme with lidocaine foot pain cream. Relieves aggravated nerves and moisturizes dry skin. 93% saw a visible difference. New Aspercreme with lidocaine foot pain cream. Live feet first.
Auditions due by Friday April 17th, 2020, at Noon PT.
