  What we are looking for

  • Someone who is outstanding at performing scripts and character acting
  • Knowledge of voice control and taking direction to deliver consistently high standard shows

  There's a variety of characters to sink your teeth into, one day you could be ridding the city streets of the plague and the next tearing out a traitor’s tongue for betraying the King. So, your ability to learn scripts quickly and deliver strong strict performances will be paramount, as well as displaying high stamina and strong vocal ability.

  Our Trainers work hard to make sure that our cast are consistently delivering freakishly high standard shows, so we’ll need you to adopt any directions given.

  To be considered please attach your acting CV and an up-to-date Head shot. You can upload your up-to-date CV and head shot in the Candidate Profile section of your Merlin Careers account. We welcome all applications, any ethnicity, any gender – all traitors welcome here.
