Mandy

Mandy was recommended to me by several actor friends, repeatedly! So I had to give it a look and signed up. I love that you can tweak the site to present your professional self to suit you, update easily and make new contacts. As a trans non binary queer actor with 20+ years in the industry I am aware how important it is to have a direct connection with potential employers and collaborators. I find it empowering to make that contact directly through sites like Mandy.

Actors access, Casting frontier, Casting network are all better. If voiceovers is what you want. Voices.com Voices123 you have more auditions and stuff that meets your profile. Mandy clearly doesn't have anyone working for them or trying. I would not get many auditions or close to what my profile said pay attention Mandy don't waste your time. They don't know how to compete in this business.

I took a break from the industry for a few years and just filled out my new profile on Mandy.com. Back when I was in film school and after, it was the go-to place for industry jobs and was very helpful at finding quality productions. From what I can tell so far, the searches appear to have good results and are user friendly. It promises to still be a very valuable resource. I'm looking forward to landing some jobs again.

I have joined mandy.com recently and keep getting updated with casting calls in film, television & theatre. Thank you mandy for taking us to the door of opportunity. Look forward to a long association. Cheers!

Mandy.com is very useful and helpful if you are looking for job opportunities in theatrical industry. It is good for technical jobs like: stage manager, lighting designer, puppet maker, etc. It has paid and unpaid offers, and it is clear to navigate through the menu. You can create your own dashboard which makes it easy for others to see your experience, as well as for you - to keep track of your work. I truly recommend it!

Mandy requires you pay for their service to be able to apply to jobs on their site, or lets you leave reviews in exchange for time. I haven't used the service yet because it hides the fact that it cost money until the very end of the sign up process. I am just trying to see if their service is something worth my time.

One of the original gig posting sites for media production. Lots of available jobs and it's great getting emails in real time as jobs are posted so that I can respond quickly. I recommend the shotgun approach - just apply for several even if it's not exactly what you want. Not all submissions get a response but a few that I've had have lead to solid long term business relationships.

I love the variety of roles available in many different screen genres.

Roles are constantly streaming through my inbox, so there are no shortages of things that I can apply for.

I am constantly applying for things. The latest one being a feature film that sounds exciting.

It is worth joining Mandy, as their membership fees are not too expensive either.

This is the second time I have engaged the promise of Mandy.com and again the results are disappointing. Ten years ago I created a professional profile to assist my 30 year career in the film industry as a union member of the Art Directors guild and Local 44. After receiving multiple job alerts each week for art department positions as a "free member", I chose to pay for an account only to discover the job posting vanished. Of the entire year as a paid member, I received less than 5 alerts that fit my profile as a production designer or art director, where as a free member I would see at least 2 or three each week. Based on a suggestion from a colleague and thinking Mandy.com had changed their policies, I created an account once again only to discover the very same practice of a "Bait and Switch". As a "free member" you are restricted from applying to any position or inquiring even for at least (1) one position. Fearing the worst and asking others in the industry, again the very same situation occurs that once you pay the fee, the promise of work vanishes. Mandy.com may work for some other professions, however for the film professional on a personal level, a professional has a 1,000% greater chance of obtaining work by going to local mixers and community events than wasting money on a service that has zero results. For the money, the service is just a waste of time, a professional has a far greater chance of projects posting on LinkedIn than posting on Mandy.com

I see alot of positive reviews. But i see little about actually scoring jobs and getting paid. I can do auditions all day but If i don't get a paying job whats the point.? I tried Backstage too for awhile and did not get one response or job. Other sites provide me with constant income. Please Advise

The website is great if you have different skills and willing to participate in film crews in different positions. It's constantly being updated and, though I haven't booked a job through the website yet, every opportunity seems legit and trustworthy. Very recommended for all freelancers working in filmmaking. Worth a shot.

I joined Mandy in 2020 for free and paid in 2021. I was satisfied with it before they started to change one thing after another. 2-step log in, less job offers since changes about a week ago, can't save my search anymore etc. I cancelled my Membership. Maybe they get it until June and I will join again, but atm I'm absolutely disappointed.

Ever since i joined Mandy, I've attended several reputable auditions. I really love utilizing their resource which are extremely helpful. Mandy is also a great learning experience for new theologians starting out in the world of entertainment. There are also many subject matter experts on this site that gives you an opportunity to ask questions. I recommend this site to anyone who is serious about an acting career.

Mandy is a good website, and I like the fact you can be in control of applying for my daughters jobs.
The only thing I would change is the cost.

I've used Mandy for quite some time, with a paid subscription and then again with a free trial. In neither of those times, for as long as I've held an account with Mandy did I hear back from ANY job offers I submitted as a composer and is the reason why I feel Mandy is a scam and should be avoided. I only gave one star because I had to put something at least.

I recently created a profile on Mandy.com. I was very satisfied with how dedicated they are to created an easy-to-use platform. It helps encourage others to take a chance and show themselves to the world. Hopefully, even a new-comer like myself will have an opportunity through this site as well. Looking forward to future progress with Mandy.com

I have been using Mandy Network for a few months, and I have been pretty impressed with it so far. I like how they notify you when your credits have been verified and when someone looks at your profile. One of the downsides to using this site is that to use any of the beneficial parts of the site; you have to be a premium user (which I also understand as they have to make money somehow).

I'm fairly new to acting. Currently looking to build some experience and Mandy provides that. Many student films on offer with no/low paying opportunities even without a financial commitment.

Once I land my first acting opportunity, I'll be sure to update the site.

I'm relatively new to acting in the UK and I have had a difficult time getting any jobs. I don't want to spend more money than I already have on agencies and other sites that claim to get you jobs but don't actually help you get anything. A friend recommended the Mandy website, and although registration is free, I'm upset that I have to pay to get any real benefits from the site. It would be nice if there were more opportunities for free accounts. Don't get me wrong, Mandy is a good site but most actors don't want to be spending money that they're not making. The free time initiative is great but it's so limited. It can be frustrating when all you want is a gig / a foot in the door. I hope this changes soon.

The Mandy Network offers a bunch of different opportunities from film, commercials, voiceovers, and gigs. They have a pretty updated and wide variety of postings that you can apply for. You're not guaranteed the job once you apply, obviously. But if you are what the directors are looking for, they'll get back to you and drop you a message!

This site is perfect for building a community of artistic collaborators that have the possibility to go on to do good if not great work together.

Mandy's website gives a crisp clean no nonsense glance at jobs looking for actors for various roles on Film, Tv, Stage and other locations.
Jobs are briefly described then if you feel it's for you you can click on the ad to be taken to a fuller explanation as to what their client is looking for.
Jobs are varied but if you're looking for a particular type of work there is a search facility to help you find it. Good luck and break a leg folks.

Mandy is an amazing platform to use if you are an actor or a voice artist as there are many opportunities, for all levels, to work on various project. I would higly recommend it if you are also looking to start acting.
