Watch commercials. Most of them are quite cheesy, right? They're generally looking for people who aren't afraid to make fools of themselves so go for broke. You can't do a commercial audition and be the least bit shy or inhibited. If you sing, shout it from the rooftops. If you dance, bring your tap shoes and be prepared to show them something! If Enrique is your hero, get big wide eyes when you tell them about him and get super excited! They're looking for enthusiasm especially when they bring out their product! Oh my gosh, those are sooo cute! Can I try them on?!? if your real talent is acting, show them don't tell them. Telling them is boring. Do whatever they tell you to do and make it look 'big'. In commercials they only have a few seconds to tell the public why they should spend their money in their store and you have to help send that message. If you're boring you can't help them. be exciting, exuberant.... get the picture?
Now go HAVE FUN!!!!!!
And by the way, they're not called judges they're casting directors and clients (unles this is a public contest?). It's a good idea to learn the terminology :-)

They are probably not looking for singers.
They are probably looking for someone who can cross their eyes and touch their tongue to their nose while keeping 20 hula hoops in the air.
Or juggle kitchen utensils.
If you can shatter a wine glass wile skipping rope, maybe that would work for singing!
When a commercial asks for these sorts of things, they are looking for personality and fun, not artistic ability.
Think of something silly and fun to do.

Have you ever seen the Berries and Cream commercial? It's silly, but you remember the product name because the commercial was unique. You need to show that you can advertise their product. Show that you're unique.

What a confusing request, "show some of your talents." I've never heard of that before.
You might contact the casting agency to get clarification on that.

Is there singing in the commercial? They will tell you what to do when you get there.

I would sing an upbeat funny song. Something to do with your eyes. JEEPERS, CREEPERS,... WHERE"D YOU GET THOSE PEEPERS.
GOOD LUCK
