For Male-identifying Roles
For Female-identifying Roles
Please learn the monologue that best fits the roles you are auditioning for:
- ‘Male-identifying roles’ means you are auditioning for roles that require you to play a range of characters, most of whom identify as male.
- ‘Female-identifying roles’ means you are auditioning for roles that require you to play a range of characters, most of whom identify as female.

Record your audition video
- You will be considered based on the quality of your performance, not the quality of the recording. Auditions can be recorded using a phone or tablet, as long as they are recorded in a quiet, well-lit location. There is no need to use professional equipment.
- Ensure your full range of movement is visible in the frame and that we can clearly see your face. Use a tripod or secure your device in a stable position.
- Face the camera and say your name, age, and whether you are represented by an agent or a freelance actor. State the name of your agent if applicable.
- Perform the monologue provided (please see the note above for non-binary and gender-diverse actors). Please perform your monologue in one take and without the script in hand. You can use a chair and/or a phone as props if you wish.
- After the monologue, face the camera and sing ‘Happy Birthday’ unaccompanied.
- Then tell us briefly why you want to work for Brainstorm Productions and what you believe you can bring to the role. Please keep this to less than 2 minutes.
- Ensure your video is saved in an accessible format such as MP4.
- Name the video file using the following format:
‘[Your name]_Brainstorm audition 2022’ (e.g. ‘Joe Citizen_Brainstorm audition 2022)
