Audition requirements
You will be required to submit a recorded audition to be considered in the first instance. You will be considered based on the quality of your performance: your skills, ability, and technique–not the quality of the recording, which can be done using your phone, camera or tablet.
We recommend that you check out the audition video tips and audition checklist at the bottom of this page for assistance with preparing your submission.
Applicants may then be invited to a live audition, held on-site at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre from 23-27 September 2024. Offers will be made based on the assessment of the live audition.
Phase 1: Recorded submission and performance CV
You will be required to submit a video audition, application form/performance CV and headshot photograph as the first phase of a two-phase process.

If your Phase 1 recorded audition is successful, you will be invited to attend Phase 2, which will be conducted in-person during audition week. Audition week will be held between 23–27 September 2024 and invitations will be sent two weeks prior. These call-back auditions will be held in our studios at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC), Brisbane.

Acting
You will present two prepared monologues. One will be from the set list provided, the other being your own choice.
