Backstage

The 16 letter password requiers you to set a passphrase and not a code
So either my password is invalid because it is not a phrase
Or the password wont be accepted due to "words that are too commonly used"
I then tried to use an AI generator and Lorem Ipsum to try and mitigate this and it did not work
Long passwords are proven to be ineffective anyway, and AI can test multiple lengths simultaneously, making the long password an obstacle for only the user
Ineffective site that favors "appearance" over functionality 1/10

I tried to cancel my subscription months ago, as I was never using it (relevant opportunities were rarely, if ever, posted). I got the whole "we're sorry to see you cancel" page, only to see a charge on my account today of $119.

The most toxic and disrespectful staff in the history of customer service. Have had to deal with them about a dozen times over 10 years and have never had a positive interaction. They act personally victimized and turn emotionally abusive if you have the audacity to point out any technical glitch, no matter how much you're paying them for this service. This is consistent with every single individual at the company I've spoken to.

I enjoyed browsing acting opportunities that earn extra cash. However, most of them are for people who are professional actors or student. It is advised to have advanced equipment for most roles available like recording and camera equipment.

I had an incredible several years as a dancer subscribed to Backstage. It truly helped me with my career! When I needed a refund after forgetting about auto pay and being in a different place in my life, sweet Andreea was so helpful and kind, and gave me a refund when she didn't have to! Thank you for everything, Backstage and Andreea!

Not only is Backstage a great way to make extra money and be exposed to many different products and agencies, it's also a company that quickly responds whenever I have a question. It's always wonderful to know that my needs are taken care of quickly and efficiently.

Whether you're a seasoned talent or trying to get a foot in, there are all sorts of castings for all types of talents or staff. The platform is easy to use and the navigation is easy.

The search could use more filter to better narrow down searches/results.

Exceptional venue for gearing oneself to prolific opportunities and performing longevity.
Thanks kindly to Pauline, consultant, for her altruism, brilliance and vibrant zeal, God Bless all your performing team. +

I had problems with my Backstage account and my log in. Hence, I asked helped to the client service in the app and I was very satisfied. Daniel was very helpful and patient in guiding me to log back into my account. Excellent client service!

Backstage is an excellent value. I say this not only for vetting the potential acting/modeling opportunities out there, but also the customer support. When you have a question, they respond very promptly and helpfully. There are a lot of scams out there. Ones even including emails saying they found you through backstage when they are working a scam. Backstage customer support will say if it's a scam or not

Backstage is a brilliant platform for artists, actors, and crew to exert their skills and find projects and springboard their careers

I had only positive and exceptionally professional experience whilst with them

Thankyou Backstage!

Criminals. I cancelled 2 yrs ago and they keep charging me, a lot. And provide nothing.
You cannot call them. So I've emailed, posted, left a voice mail. Better Business Bureau is next.

I understand this is a business, but to ask starving people for $200 monthly is heinous. Oh sorry 100$ because they give u such a gracious discount. Can't wait til we're in charge and make some damn CHANGE

I signed up my 12 yes old son. I didn't get advice on how to use the website or if we had done it correctly. Never received an email or message from them. But now it's time to renew and guess what! Now finally being contacted that they need my new credit card information.

Literally any other casting site is better than Backstage. Actor's Access is amazing and so is Casting Networks- they have legitimate projects, they check who's posting beforehand and their customer service is truly helpful. Backstage allows projects that have not been checked yet to publicly post. I've had so many unprofessional experiences and interactions on Backstage and since sharing this with more people, have been told by those more experienced than me, that Backstage is a total waste of time. I think it used to be good back in the day, but now it's associated with non-professional postings and roles. They also automatically enroll you in a following year after signing up, just like a really bad gym membership, whereas after each year, Actor's Access does not charge you, they contact you to let you know your year is ending and to see if you would like to renew. You can find the same postings and better on AA and CN.

As a producer rather than an actor, this website used to be amazing until recently.

Customer service WILL NOT respond to you. If they send you an email asking something, they'll pretend that they never saw your response. It seems like a big mess, where multiple people are sending you emails, but they never go back and read the whole conversation.

If you're someone looking to cast people for a job, Backstage is not the site to use.
