Mandy

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.

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.

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.

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'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.

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.

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.

This is the second time I have engaged the promise of Mandy.com and again the results are disappointing. Ten years ago I created a professional profile to assist my 30 year career in the film industry as a union member of the Art Directors guild and Local 44. After receiving multiple job alerts each week for art department positions as a "free member", I chose to pay for an account only to discover the job posting vanished. Of the entire year as a paid member, I received less than 5 alerts that fit my profile as a production designer or art director, where as a free member I would see at least 2 or three each week. Based on a suggestion from a colleague and thinking Mandy.com had changed their policies, I created an account once again only to discover the very same practice of a "Bait and Switch". As a "free member" you are restricted from applying to any position or inquiring even for at least (1) one position. Fearing the worst and asking others in the industry, again the very same situation occurs that once you pay the fee, the promise of work vanishes. Mandy.com may work for some other professions, however for the film professional on a personal level, a professional has a 1,000% greater chance of obtaining work by going to local mixers and community events than wasting money on a service that has zero results. For the money, the service is just a waste of time, a professional has a far greater chance of projects posting on LinkedIn than posting on Mandy.com

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.

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!

This site is perfect for building a community of artistic collaborators that have the possibility to go on to do good if not great work together.

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!

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 joined Mandy not too long ago and already there are jobs which I feel suit my needs! I can't wait to get started on this new journey

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'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.

Give Mandy a go. Actors looking for representation, manager or simply to get booked for speaking roles. Put yourself out there and have fun with MANDY..

I have used this platform for dance teaching and performing jobs and have been contacted by a range of employers. Definitely recommended!

Im new to acting and i have already lost some money with some agencies claiming that they will get me enough jobs. But when i found mandy website, i registered for free and so far with a free account, i have managed to get 1 gig and few auditions. THis is incredible. I have never got a single audition yet with modelling agencies. Im soon gonna become a paid member and see whats in store. Thanks Mandy.

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.

Ever since i joined Mandy, I've attended several reputable auditions. I really love utilizing their resource which are extremely helpful. Mandy is also a great learning experience for new theologians starting out in the world of entertainment. There are also many subject matter experts on this site that gives you an opportunity to ask questions. I recommend this site to anyone who is serious about an acting career.

I recently created a profile on Mandy.com. I was very satisfied with how dedicated they are to created an easy-to-use platform. It helps encourage others to take a chance and show themselves to the world. Hopefully, even a new-comer like myself will have an opportunity through this site as well. Looking forward to future progress with Mandy.com
