Good source for a variety of production gigs.
December 4, 2022

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.

Varied opportunities
December 26, 2022

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.

Jobs
February 2, 2023

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

Worth joining
January 3, 2023

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.

Sometimes a useful site, but do not expect well paid jobs. I have not found myself able to cover the annual membership from jobs on here. I am currently trying to cancel my membership but without a contact number for Mandy and a very general email address, it is extremely hard!

Lots of opportunities to choose from!

The website is user friendly and you can find a broad range of opportunities across theatre, screen and everything in between. You also get regular email reminders which is very helpful.

Don't waste your time
November 27, 2023

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 cannot for the life of me, understand why this field of employment is the only one where you pay money to apply for jobs. With StarNow being a waste of time, Spotlight costs an arm and a leg. It would seem Mandy and Backstage is the better option for professionals who make £50 per show, after 4 years in the industry. And each time I look on Mandy for job opportunities, which I cannot apply for unless I pay a subscription, they say no fee. So, it seems one must pay to apply for jobs that have no pay. You've got to spend money to make money they say, well with my £80,000 student debt, personal liability insurance, headshots, and showreel, not to mention home recording equipment, it seems the spending never stops. I cannot say any more about Mandy as I am only writing this review to get a 7-day free trial which I'm sure will be a waste of time and no paid job will come from.

Absolutely shocking service. There is NO way to get hold of anyone there. I have made contact with them in literally every conceivable way. Various email addressed. Filled in their online form. Facebook. Twitter. Instagram. I have a paid account I'm unable to log into. Its been nearly a week and N0 ONE has been in contact. Their only phone number goes to a voicemail telling me to email them. What fresh hell of customer service is this. I would not recommend paying money for this shocking service. They do not care about their customers.

Scam to Me
March 3, 2023

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.

Diverse acting work
September 18, 2020

This is a great website for performers as new paid jobs are posted daily, giving you plenty of options. If you can't afford the premium version or don't feel ready to take on high level professional work, there's also plenty of unpaid opportunities in a separate section for free.

Awesome
January 21, 2022

Awesome company plenty of opportunities to become exactly who you wanna be. Some of the best jobs and opportunities that are available come through Mandy you need these guys to grow if you have no personal networks or contacts. If you're smart you'll just go on the head and pay the fee because it's worth it

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

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!

I was with MK for 12 months to see if my son - who loves drama - might be appropriate for some commercial opportunities. We applied for loads - but nothing. Not even a nibble. Waste of time and money.

Hello Antoinette, I am sorry to hear this has been your experience of our site. We do try to ensure that as many opportunities are available as possible to our members, however, the performance industry is incredibly competitive and this may mean a high number of applications per job. If you ever want advice or would like to discuss ways to boost your Son's profile please do get in contact at emails@mandy.com
