A great site to go to regularly for people in the entertainment industry. The site has been around for a long time and there is good reason it has.
I am working in kirtanepandit llp chartered accountants audit assistant professional but i am intrest to work in the media as act in in a character basis so will u possible to help me.
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.
While great customer service encompasses a chat/telephone call, I'm not that satisfied to not have received the end-of-the-year offer. I was told, "Sorry, but, it's for first-time subscribers only." WTF. I am a first-time subscriber. So, in essence, the customer was not really taken care of at the highest level of customer service!

I had a positive experience with Backstage. It was a lot for me to sift through to find the jobs I wanted but I met some awesome people through it. It was definitely a good start to launch me into the world.
I spoke with Stephanie and was able to have my questions and concerns resolved with ease. While I enjoyed my Backstage subscription, I would suggest finding a way to verify certain casting calls/notices. I have encountered a few illegitimate Backstage invites.
All support team members were so friendly and helpful like a real friend. They want make sure you understand what you ask for and lead you in new experience. Thank you
I think that Backstage is awesome!
If this was really your career choice, it offers a lot of details what an actor needs to do to get the job. I just think that I need to put a lot of work on my own than just putting a headshot.
I accidentally pick the wrong subscription and within a short time, they were able to issue a refund and I could set up the correct one. Amazing service!
Thank you for great work. When I asked about cancelation it was fast and easy no headache. I will recommend this web site to my artist friends
Gotten some decent paying gigs on this site, Very prompt when it comes to contacting the client, used it for about a year, wasn't a bad experience at all, got projects from the South east market up to New york
Apparently I had two accounts which I didn't know about. They gave me a full refund of the months I paid twice. Well done Backstage.
Fantastic, service was prompt and efficient. Looking forward to learn how I can expand my career with Backstage.
As a first-time subscriber to Backstage, and a hopeful older newbie background actor, I really appreciated the quick response to my question. Kudos. I'm a fan!
I've been using Backstage for years. Actually have received many offers from this sites. It's also awesome when casting directors find you and call you in for dream roles which has happened to me many times! Its a little complicated at times but in my opinion you get what you put into this site. I wish it was a little more cost friendly for my actor's wallet lol but other than that I really enjoy and recommend this site!
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.
This site is well made, well monitored and well updated. I only gave a 4, though, because it is really not geared towards Canadians very much.
I really like the quick response and how helpful Anna was. I got a friendly vibe that I could be open with my insecurities too. Also, since I'm new and have a long way to go, the conversation I had with Anna gave me a lot of hope since I had mentioned my doubt and the response I received was really nice. So I am satisfied and grateful :)
