Mandy

Mandy was recommended to me by several actor friends, repeatedly! So I had to give it a look and signed up. I love that you can tweak the site to present your professional self to suit you, update easily and make new contacts. As a trans non binary queer actor with 20+ years in the industry I am aware how important it is to have a direct connection with potential employers and collaborators. I find it empowering to make that contact directly through sites like Mandy.

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 joined Mandy in 2020 for free and paid in 2021. I was satisfied with it before they started to change one thing after another. 2-step log in, less job offers since changes about a week ago, can't save my search anymore etc. I cancelled my Membership. Maybe they get it until June and I will join again, but atm I'm absolutely disappointed.

I'm relatively new to acting in the UK and I have had a difficult time getting any jobs. I don't want to spend more money than I already have on agencies and other sites that claim to get you jobs but don't actually help you get anything. A friend recommended the Mandy website, and although registration is free, I'm upset that I have to pay to get any real benefits from the site. It would be nice if there were more opportunities for free accounts. Don't get me wrong, Mandy is a good site but most actors don't want to be spending money that they're not making. The free time initiative is great but it's so limited. It can be frustrating when all you want is a gig / a foot in the door. I hope this changes soon.

Mandy requires you pay for their service to be able to apply to jobs on their site, or lets you leave reviews in exchange for time. I haven't used the service yet because it hides the fact that it cost money until the very end of the sign up process. I am just trying to see if their service is something worth my time.

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

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.

Hello,

As a parent setting up a profile for a child it's important to use a site that I can trust with my child's image and information. Mandy also has great resource videos for parents of children interested in getting into show business. As my child is just starting out I would need to return in a few months to give a follow-up of Mandy's services.

I've been using this platform, on and off for about a couple of years now. I'm an animator and artist and I've been using this platform to suss out opportunities. It's alright, but it is a shame that a lot of the good features are premium. It would've been a bit more helpful if we were able to apply for a listing, or anything similar. It's too limited a platform at the moment, but I do enjoy seeing all the amazing opportunities on there.

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.

I have joined mandy.com recently and keep getting updated with casting calls in film, television & theatre. Thank you mandy for taking us to the door of opportunity. Look forward to a long association. Cheers!

I'm a successful industry professional that's been using Mandy for 10 years. The new site is so disappointing. Mandy is allowing numerous Shoe String Budget and Amateur Project Postings with SUPER LOW DAY RATES to be listed in the Standard JOBS section, instead of forcing them onto the LO/NO PAY Opportunities board. This is highly unprofessional of Mandy and will gradually crush the already stagnant day rates of experienced production professionals. Please, Mandy, just enforce Low Rate/No Pay postings and ensure they stay within the correct lo/no pay "Opportunities" section, not on the "Jobs" board! Ex: $14/hr for Experienced Editor and $125/day for DP w/Camera are not standard industry rates for pros! Those are intern rates. I don't mind paying for highly professional industry sites, but allowing amateur/shoe string project postings in the Experienced/JOBS is inexcusable. In addition, Mandy now forces applicants to submit their Mandy profile as their "resume," when applying, instead of the option to only send a PDF resume and PDF cover letter. Experienced pros have too many credits to use a simple profile as a resume. Ugh! If these Low Rate and Resume Issues continue, many long term Mandy users will drop the membership and $15/mo dues, and move permanently to more professional job sites.

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'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.

Mandy is a good website, and I like the fact you can be in control of applying for my daughters jobs.
The only thing I would change is the cost.

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.

I have been using Mandy Network for a few months, and I have been pretty impressed with it so far. I like how they notify you when your credits have been verified and when someone looks at your profile. One of the downsides to using this site is that to use any of the beneficial parts of the site; you have to be a premium user (which I also understand as they have to make money somehow).

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.

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.

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.

The Mandy Network offers a bunch of different opportunities from film, commercials, voiceovers, and gigs. They have a pretty updated and wide variety of postings that you can apply for. You're not guaranteed the job once you apply, obviously. But if you are what the directors are looking for, they'll get back to you and drop you a message!

They send you spam emails and share your information with other companies. Get ready to receive emails multiple times a day even after unsubscribing.

I'm fairly new to acting. Currently looking to build some experience and Mandy provides that. Many student films on offer with no/low paying opportunities even without a financial commitment.

Once I land my first acting opportunity, I'll be sure to update the site.
