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.
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!
Used to be free, now extortionate, can't even read the job descriptions without it costing an arm and a leg. I get that you have to make some money, maybe job hunters could pay a couple of quid to apply for something but the current model is ridiculous. Shame on Mandy!

Great for finding upcoming opportunities in the film/television industry. Many opportunities are low budget films so if you're looking to gain some unpaid experience then Mandy is a fantastic tool for this!

I'm just starting my career, but this site looks like an easy way to get started, especially if you don't have an agent. I also found this website on the recommendation of a friend who had a positive experience
Hi Fred, It's lovely to hear that you and your friend are getting so much out of your memberships! If you need support or advice at any point please do contact us at emails@mandy.com!
I first got on to Mandy several years ago.
My story is that I wanted to break into the business and had a friend suggest me this website for Jobs and Auditions.
Like is our nature as performers, I had a slight apprehension of its reliability, yet quickly proven wrong. Right away I began to at least get noticed and called in to rooms.
Look at it this way, if you get just ONE job off of it, it will more than pay for your subscription fee.
That's it, I was hooked and it's an Immensely useful tool for an unrepresented actor to start working and gain experience. It has grown as a site since I joined and become very User friendly.
It's worth the money because it makes YOU money.
Carry on Mandy :)
Hi Gabriel, Thank you for such a glowing review! We really appreciated it! If you ever need us please get in contact at emails@mandy.com
I've used Mandy for some time now and it's the perfect resource whether you're just starting out in the acting industry or if you've firmly got your feet in the ground. Having emails coming directly to you with relevant job links is a brilliant way to keep an eye on potential jobs without going on to the site every day. There's a real mix of work on there too from small scale, short form jobs to long running plays and everything in between. It's a great resource that makes you feel in control of your career rather than relying on other people and organisations.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, Archie. Please do get in contact with us at emails@mandy.com if you have any suggestions on how we can improve your experience!
Ok, I wanted to come and leave my 2 cents. Lol. I have only been with Mandy through a regular account, not their premium. However, I am giving it some thought. I really like the monologue competition they have. Great site for actors.
Hi Shavone, Thank you for your lovely comment. If you think of any ways in which we can improve please do get in contact at emails@mandy.com
Easy to use website, acceptable profile creation apart from wasting trial time waiting for photo approvals.
So far it's good for sourcing auditions and agents. Not had any luck though, so I guess only time will tell.
Thank you so much for your feedback. If you ever need any help with images in the future, please do get in contact via emails@mandy.com

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.

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.

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.
