I was a member of Star Now for 10 years and didn't get a single paid job, only TFP work. As soon as I joined Mandy I had 5 paid jobs in 1 month. It is pure luck though because some months aren't as busy... However I only get paid work on Mandy and it's very professional.
I recommended my mum too and she got an over 50s modelling job for Lumen in her first week.
I currently have separate profiles as a model, dancer and TV Extra, and there are ongoing updated jobs coming in for all ages.
I would recommend to everyone and my only regret is wasting 10 years of membership on Star Now, when I could have joined Mandy.
The only down side to the site is having to wait for photos to be approved, so if you're in a rush to upload something it can take 24 hours.

I have recently been made redundant and I am now on the lookout for new opportunities. I've had a Mandy account for quite sometime and I've seen through there emails and Twitter page, that they have a lot of jobs posted on there. After looking recently I found so many jobs that I can apply for relating directly to what I want to do or another role in production.

Then this is the place for you, simply sign up, add information to your profile, and search for exactly what you want to do and you just might become a voice actor.

Really great site and good way to network with likeminded creatives. Sometimes takes a bit of patience but will be worthwhile in the long run. Good for ALL creatives too - actors, filmmakers, writers etc.

Mandy feedback
August 2, 2020

Better than star now, not as good as spotlight. Helpful for finding low pay work for experience and CV building. Watch out though, the vetting process isn't as strict as it should be and some pay rates are awful and some jobs are clearly trying to take advantage of young women. In short it's better than no work and if you're not getting stuff through Spotlight or you are without an agent.

If you want to talk about any elements of our vetting service in more detail or are concerned about a particular role I would urge you to contact us via emails@mandy.com so we can investigate fully.

I'm seeing jobs on Mandy.com that I don't see in other places... and it's not always easy to find composer jobs. The one downside is that you have to pay to apply to these jobs. I guess it could be very worthwhile.

It can be tough trying to network and find freelance writing work when you're new to a city, but being on Mandy has made the whole process so much easier, and meant that I've made great contacts and got jobs that I would never have managed to get otherwise.

I am not sure why Mandy approached me to join, but after I went in I was enthusiastic at the possibilities. I am not an actor - yet - but now I have aspirations that I can one day be the one narrating documentaries in the Discovery Channel, National Geographic, etc. or even making voice over in Disney's animated movies! In short: Mandy seems like a great place to exhibit - your talents, your act.

As an art department member, I find the majority of jobs are for other depts and not super relevant, but there are a few posts on a regular basis, sometimes a couple per week or per month. I find it's easy to keep an eye on the email notifications and watch out for anything relevant that way - overall worth signing up to.
