Apart from the snowy mountains brewery the radio talent is extremely poor in all of these ads.Everything seems way too ‘forced’ – not sure if its the scripts or the actual talent from the production houses… Australia really needs a kick up the bum.We haven’t come close to producing anything remotely as good as the 42 Below vodka campaign this year…
so I take it you did the vodka ad???
For the record, none of the ‘talent’ in the Snowy Mountains ads had ever done a voice over before. They were mates and they were doing it for the beer.
Ralph Van Dyjk takes his casting very seriously. It’s funny to see the TV Dept squirm when his quote includes a casting fee.
