I'm a Canadian VO artist and my review will be based on my experience using the Canadian VO Premium version.
1. You are only allowed to see auditions for jobs in the Country in which you live. This makes NO sense for VO work, as most of the advertised auditions are for performers with home studios. In other words, they could hire anyone, anywhere to do the job. My current and past freelance VO clients are all in the US or the UK.
2. Most of the jobs posted pay less than minimum wage or want you to work for "exposure". There are never any union gigs up for grabs.
3. Most of the jobs posted in the VO section are for Radio Announcers/Hosts. These are usually the kind of jobs that are posted under "journalism" as they usually require at least 3 years experience in the Radio Production or Journalism fields
4. Most of the auditions are widely posted elsewhere for FREE.
5. Their Support claims that they post about 200 VO auditions monthly. The number is closer to 20-30
6. I got creepy messages from randos who liked my photo.
7. They have a feature so you can see how many people with Mandy accounts are viewing your profile and how many times you come up in searches. In theory, this is a great feature. In reality, 9 times out of 10 the only people viewing your profile are other VO artists looking for work.
8. You cannot view the profiles of potential employers, EVEN IF the send you messages or make you an offer.
Sorry to say, but Mandy.com reeks of scam. I don't think it's intentional, the platform is just badly researched and ignorant of how the VO industry works or the kinds of features that VO artists need. Save your money.
Hi Hannah - we've responded to you both via email and other review sites, but for transparency, we've included our reply below.
We're sorry you feel this way about our service.
The Mandy Network is developing our presence within the Voices sector in Canada, and we are working daily to increase our posts to these boards. We do post over 200 roles a month across our voices sector, worldwide. Our boards are restricted by region, however, every employer is asked whether or not they are happy to accept submissions from international applicants, and roles, where this is confirmed, are of course shared to all relevant boards.
We vet all jobs and employers and as stated in our policies, we do post a wide range of jobs requiring Voiceover skills to give candidates as many opportunities as we can. This includes all forms of media, scales of pay and contract. Standard users are able to apply for any of the roles posted to our Opportunities boards, which are specifically for voluntarily or low paid opportunities. Our Paid Jobs Boards are only part of our Premium service and only roles that meet our minimum wage requirement will be posted here.
We're sorry to hear you had contact from individuals that made you uncomfortable. We have a 'Report' function for all internal mail, and will investigate every report and take action where required, to remove users from the network should they have broken our Terms.
Gives you plenty of opportunities of many types of extras from modelling to acting in movies, they've got ya' covered!
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

If you like to earn more than an absolute minimum wage you have to stay away from this. Rather go the old fashioned way, this is just terrible.
Hello Jurgen, Thank you for your feedback I'm sorry the at you feel this way. We are not an enforcing body and thus can only ensure that minimum wage is met for all of our Paid Job posts. We are however in constant talks with our employers and always working for fair pay within the industry. If you wish to talk over any of your concerns please do contact us at emails@mandy.com
It's an ok site, there's lots of varied jobs which is nice but there is a huge amount of very low paid work. Jobs come in daily which is good.

Our team works incredibly hard to ensure we have a wide range of jobs available for all our members, regardless of where they're based or where they are in their professional careers.

Answer: Hi Chloe, Apologies for the delay in reply. You can indeed!

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.
Answer: Hi Anna, thanks for your question, we'll be happy to help. Please refer to the status indicator when looking at Jobs > Applications, as this will give further information as to whether an application has been viewed or shortlisted. If you see the status is "Viewed", this means the employer has reviewed your application. If you have any further questions please get in touch at emails@mandy.com.
Answer: Hello Maria, Thank you for your question. We do indeed post a number of roles in your field, the best profile type to create is a Theatre Professionals profile! If you need help getting set up please contact us at emails@mandy.com
