The site offers many listings for actors in film and stage, yet I received few actual jobs from all my applications, and the ones I did get I'm not sure weren't from local casting calls I attended for the same positions.

It appears I received the newsletter but didn't sign up for the service... I'll have to do that as I have very talented granddaughters! Backstage were prompt and helpful!

Great as always.

I've never had an issue with Backstage's customer service people. Always polite, responsive, and timely. The issue was resolved within a matter of hours of my sending an email.

Good resource
March 25, 2023

It's a good resource for actors, with lots of independent film listings and good customer service. I wish they would not allow directors to ask for a pre-screen tape.

Over period of 3 years got 2 - yes, just 2 - productive interviews, neither of which yielded enough to cover subscription rate. Prefer to allocate my $$$ resources elsewhere.

Very impressed with Backstage and it's dedication to actors. It is a "guiding light" to help us achieve our dreams. Very professional and they get back to you quickly helping out in any way they can.

Audition listing
June 15, 2018

I wanted to find an old audition that was posted months ago and the customer agent was great and pulled up the details for me. Prompt and professional service on this occasion.

Yes! I created an account with them and up until now, it has been other a week of working with them, they will refuse to delete my account. I've gone through all the options so I had contacted them. They simply told me to set the account to private and delete my personal information. Except you have to have a profile picture, in other words can't delete all of your pictures without uploading something else.

After I had been working with their customer service, which didn't happen until I had given them a bad review of their services a prick named Danny told me that my account had been deleted, I didn't believe him and attempted to log into my account. Which I was able to do. Set him an email back and said did you just set my account to private or did you actually delete? Next email from Danny stated that all I had to do was refresh the page and my account was deleted and removed from Google searches. I wait a day and logged into my account again, this time took a screen shot of where everything was exactly the same except my account was set to private.

Emailed the screenshot and told the $#*! head that I was right and he's being a $#*!ing liar. Still have yet to hear back and account is still active.
