As a professional actor, I had a good experience with Mandy actors.
I think they are so nice and helpful.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
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.
Hi Liyah, what wonderful recommendation! We love hearing success stories like yours! If you or your mum need any help along the way remember we are always available at emails@mandy.com
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.
What a lovely review, thank you so much. I am glad we can be there when you need us. If you can think any ways you would like us to improve please do get in contact at emails@mandy.com
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.
What a glowing review! We are very proud of our Voices Sector! If you need any help along the way remember we are always available at emails@mandy.com
Easy to use facility for job applications, but it is more expensive than other platforms. A large number of jobs posted in site
Hi Wayne, Thank you for taking the time to review us. Please do get in contact with us at emails@mandy.com if you have any other suggestions on how we can improve your experience!
Been using Mandy for a few years now and it's a great place to connect with creatives and land gigs.
Hi Katie, Thank you for the lovely recommendation! Keep in touch at emails@mandy.com
Easy to use, a lot of jobs my agent also submitted me for. So I know its great for those without agents or still looking for one. Gives you the opportunity to apply for yourself in a professional manner!
I am pleased to hear you've found so much opportunity through us Jess! Please do get in contact with us at emails@mandy.com if you have any suggestions on how we can improve your experience!
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.
Hi Charles, Thanks for your amazing review! Finding work can be a bit of a slow burner, but remember we are always here to support you and offer advice if needed at emails@mandy.com!
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.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, Eleanor! We do have a dedicated team of moderators who vet every role we post to our boards. 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've just joined and I'm enjoying it so far. There's a steady flow of jobs to apply for and the process is simple.
Thank you for the review Susie. If you can think any ways you would like us to improve please do get in contact at emails@mandy.com
Mandy gets good jobs coming through that i do not see in other sites, plus they have good communication which really helps me to know what is available.
HI Nat, What a lovely review, thank you so much. If you can think any ways you would like us to improve please do get in contact at emails@mandy.com
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.
Hi Daniel, I'm glad you are finding opportunities through us, it can be tough out there. Don't hesitate to get in contact with us at emails@mandy.com if you have any suggestions on how we can improve or need any advice along the way.
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.
Thank you for the glowing review! It's great to hear you are doing so well through our service! If you need any support along the way please contact us at emails@mandy.com
During this unsure time when work is difficult its great to explore options with commitment. We all want to make money but it's hard to pay for multiple casting or agencies with the competition is so great Thanks!
Hi Phyllis, I completely understand the uncertainty you are feeling right now. Please remember we are just an email away if you need any advice or support. Just contact us at emails@mandy.com
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.
It is lovely to hear you are enjoying using our Network so far Luis! We would love to hear from you at emails@mandy.com if you have any suggestions on how we can improve or if you need any advice!
I'm just starting my career, but this site looks like an easy way to get started, especially if you don't have an agent. I also found this website on the recommendation of a friend who had a positive experience
Hi Fred, It's lovely to hear that you and your friend are getting so much out of your memberships! If you need support or advice at any point please do contact us at emails@mandy.com!
For anyone who is finding it difficult to find work as an actor, model, dancer, singer this is the best website. Daily there are loads of jobs you can apply to.
Hello Manushi, It's lovely to hear you value our service so much! If you ever need us please get in contact at emails@mandy.com
Mandy.com is one of the top websites to use for finding castings. I've booked quite a few jobs while using Mandy.com. It's user friendly and there are always so many castings to apply to. I will continue to use it!
Thank you for the lovely endorsement, Clarissa! We really appreciated it! I'm so glad you found so much work through us! If you ever need us please get in contact at emails@mandy.com
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.
Hi Clarissa, thank you for your honest feedback. We do endeavor to post a wide range of jobs to give candidates as many opportunities as we can! I will of course pass on your feedback though, if you can think of any other ways in which we could improve the service for you, please do get in contact at emails@mandy.com
Easy layout, fast service and lots of jobs to choose from for actors and filmmakers. It's a great site for opportunities and paid jobs for local talent worldwide.

Answer: Hi Chloe, Apologies for the delay in reply. You can indeed! Your membership will simply revert to a Standard membership which does not block employers from contacting you, nor does it affect existing applications. Please contact us at emails@mandy.com if we can support you with anything else. Kind Regards, Roz - Mandy Customer Service Lead
Answer: I paid the subscription fee for a year, mainly so I can get speaking parts on any kind of production. I don't even care if they're mostly student productions, as I get film footage from them, which is very usable. However, if you're thinking of paying the subscription fee to get paid work, I would advise against it. You will not get much paid work through Mandy. If you want paid work, you're better off getting an office job that will pay far more than the NMW that's offered by most productions. I can't wait to get my necessary named speaking roles so I can join Spotlight!
Answer: Hi Paula, Thank you for taking the time to contact us. The Mandy Network is a platform where you can connect to other professionals in the industry to advance your career. As we are not a direct casting director or agency, we do not select who is successful for any role posted with us. We do indeed have a large number of users in both the US and the UK, but we do have our international region for members from all over the world! I hope this helps. Please do reach out to us at emails@mandy.com if we can support you with anything else.
Answer: Hi Julia, Thanks for getting in touch. There are 2 sorts of Job-related emails we will send you. Our Daily/Weekly Opportunities round ups are not tailored to your profile, however, you can turn these off or change their frequency via your Profile settings. Your Job Alert emails, on the other hand, are tailored to your profile and are sent out as soon as the job is posted. If you are looking to better tailor your Job Alerts, please go to your 'About me/Skills' section and update the 'Interested in' and 'Experienced in' section so that we have the information necessary to send you the best jobs for you. If we can help further, please reach out to us via emails@mandy.com.
Answer: Hello Gary, thank you for your question. It is free to post a job with us, though we have premium options available for recruiters wishing to give their job post a little boost. If you would like to find out more please contact emails@mandy.com
Answer: In other words no. It is NOT free for employers? They charge both employers and crew but guarantee nothing to the person's looking for work.
