Have tried loads of acting job websites and although Mandy is not my absolute favourite it's definitely in the top 2! Easy to use although could do with a couple more features. Well worth it though as i've landed a big job in 2 months so worth it already!
New to the program - so far looks like it will provide valuable information. It would be beneficial if paid memberships were for shorter periods than 12 months. 1-3-6-12 months options with varied memberships fees should be considered.
Hi Chris, Thank you for your feedback! We do indeed offer a rolling monthly subscription on our candidate profiles! If you want more information please get in contact via emails@mandy.com
As a working actor, I rely on Mandy.com to find a lot of great paid and unpaid opportunities. It allows me to expand my acting network and see what is going on in the Toronto acting world. It is an invaluable resource for anyone in acting or even those who want to give it a try. I strongly recommend Mandy.com and there are often free one month trials so you can check it out.
Thank you for the lovely recommendation! I'm pleased to hear we've been of help expanding your network Jim! If you have any feedback on ways we could improve our service, please do get in contact at emails@mandy.com.
I've found the site very easy to use and the jobs to be professional. There's not a huge amount of work posted and you do have to be quick to apply, but so far on my free trial I've had one job and been short listed for several others. Will keep using.
Hi Chantelle, It's great to hear you've found work through us! Don't you worry, we are always on the lookout for more roles to post! Please do get in contact with us at emails@mandy.com if you can think of more ways we can improve your experience.
Mandy provides job information and networking opportunities that bridge the distance between being a thriving/out of work actor or model to gainful employment, representation, networking opportunities.
I only recently started using Mandy to look for film crew gigs, it has a ton of great features and very easy to set up a profile that highlights your experience. Would recommend for anyone starting off and looking to get on a few productions.
Thank you for the great review, Santiago, we are glad to hear you've found our service so useful. Please do get in contact with us at emails@mandy.com if you need anything!
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.
Overall Mandy has been really helpful in my job search and gives a lot of specific information that helps me make a decision on which jobs I want to apply for. It is also helpful because it organizes things by location and specific job type.
Hi Kristen, Thank you for taking the time to review us. If you can think of any ways in which we can improve please do contact us at emails@mandy.com
Hello Mandy. I wanted to created a profile and started doing so. The amount of your "stars" and many of the reviews available on your site worried me a great deal. So I submitted a question and it has been 2 days you cannot answer it. I obviously quit an idea of registering with you not speaking of paying for any of your services. People seem to be right, you guys are not even serious and you want "customers" to pay for premium package?... Good luck finding customers with this approach!
Hello Maria, Thank you for your review, I am quite concerned that you have not received a response to your query with our customer service team. Please call us on +44(0)20 7288 7404 (UK); (347) 534-1417 (USA) or email us directly at emails@mandy.com, any of our team members would be happy to speak to you!
Mandy is an overall great resource for professionals in the entertainment industry. They seem to have listings for jobs across the spectrum, from small, personal needs to larger companies. The only issue I have so far is the price point, it does seem too expensive for a monthly account. It would be nice if they added a student discount or new membership discounts.
Hello Joy, Thank you for your honest review. I'm glad to hear you find our Network so useful. If you have any other ideas of how we can improve, please do contact us at emails@mandy.com
This website is great for independent performers and I would recommend anyone who is looking for more work whether it's for acting, singing or dancing to sign up. So many opportunities with Mandy.com. It takes a little while to set up your profile, but once it's all done you don't have to do it again and it's all worth it in the end.
Hi Amy, thanks for taking the time to leave us this great review! It's great to hear you find the site so easy. Please get in touch via emails@mandy.com if we can help with anything.
I just recently joined Mandy and i love it because it has opened doors of opportunity that i thought i would never come across. At first i had my doubt about joining Mandy because i have tried out few casting sites and it was a total disappointment. I'm so glad i left my doubt aside and gave this a trial. I also want to commend their customer service, they are just the best, fast, reliable and supportive.
Hi Alexa, Thank you so much for the review! We would be happy to receive another review after having experienced Mandy for some time. If you can think of any ways you would like us to improve please do get in contact at emails@mandy.com
I joined Mandy/Film & TV pro once i became a pro Make up artist. After paying £120.00 a year for a paid membership. I never got offered any jobs posted on the site. I wasted £120.00 of my own money on this garbage site. They only have very few jobs advertised for make up artist. Even though they claim your application gets to the top as you have a premium membership.ABSOLUTE LIES !
I just think Film & TV pro is a travesty.
Bring back MANDY which was free to apply for jobs.
Mandy promotes a constant stream of acting opportunities, some are well paid opportunities that could really help advance your acting career but they are in amongst a lot of unpaid student/voluntary jobs, so you have to sift through them. Their emailing system updates you by condensing relevant acting jobs saving you having to trawl through the website which is good.
Hi Amberli, thanks for your review! Our jobs are split into two board, our Paid Jobs and Opportunities (low/no pay), to allow these to be easier to navigate via the site. It's great to hear you like our email alerts! If we can help with anything else please let us know via emails@mandy.com.
I've been using Mandy for many years and as far as film/video jobs go i find it to be the best site. I have got jobs through them in the past. They have up to date job postings and make it easy to apply its a great place to even just see what's out there. They give good descriptions and always tell you the pay rate which is great for me. They have new listings everyday which makes it easy to be one of the 1st to apply. If you have experience and know what you want go to mandy. I only do film and video however they may have other jobs as well i'm not sure.
Hi Richie, thank you so much for the glowing review! We pride ourselves on being a great place to network and for the care we take over reported listings! It's great to hear a success story like yours and if you ever need anything, remember you can just shoot us an email at emails@mandy.com
I didn't take this site seriously a few years before; I had been jaded
By the "others" (and you know who you are) that basically prostitute
The voice market, and had become gun-shy about re-entering into the
Market.
After about a week of not wanting a "full" membership, I began to
Receive free queries about jobs. I actually received responses and
Potential work from producers and ADs. What better promotion for a
Regular membership?
In the words of philosopher Barry Manilow: "Oh, Mandy!"
Oh, what a lovely review! Thank you for the feedback and good luck with the job hunt! If you need anything please do get in touch at emails@mandy.com
With Mandy I have finally found the definitive way to apply to those jobs in the sector that I could never access without having direct contact with their ecosystem. Thank you for making my task easier.
Hi Alejandro, This is great to hear that you are getting so much out of our service! If you ever need any support do get in touch via 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.
It's got an easy to use interface and many many unpaid job opportunities in eastern Canada. They do offer free premium time for the upgrade, so you can try it out before you decide to pay for the full membership so thats a plus.
Hello Daniel, Thank you for your review! If you can think of other ways we could improve as you get used to our service please do email us at emails@mandy.com!
I've not been on mandy very long, but from what i've seen these past few months, theres a lot of student films and extra's castings. A lot of stuff to build up credits, which i'm hoping increases more as the industry opens up more.
Hi Bethany, thank you for taking the time to review us! Please do email us at emails@mandy.com if you ever need advice about how to best use the service we would be happy to help!
Answer: Hi Alicia, That's Great! If you are based in the UK we have a Mandy Kids UK site available for anyone under the age of 18. We offer a 30 day free trial for this site so you can sign up for free and try it out! If you need any help signing up, get in touch with us at emails@mandy.com
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.
