Hi im Zaria, my dream is to be a Disney Channel actress i dont have a job yet... i love to sing. They email u ASAP thats so great, the costimer servous is so good.
Posted a casting call for my play NURSERY RHYMES to be produced as part of the NYWinterFest 2019 at the Hudson Guild Theater in January. Got almost 300 submissions and cast four very talented actors with a minimum of angst and wasted time. CVs and film clips were readily available, and it was effortless to contact the candidates. Did all of the initial interviews on Skype or FaceTime, then followed up with face-to-face group readings. The Backstage software made it easy; a far cry from the days of lining up around the corner and wasting an entire day waiting for a three minute interview. Next time I do a play, I'll turn to the Backstage Website first.
My account was connected to my iTunes account so it was difficult to reset my password. Come to find out I had misspelled my email address so I couldn't reset my password but Ben helped me out!
I was really worried that I had accidentally signed out of Backstage and could have missed out on a role, Anna was right on it within hours and I am back on track.
By the way I have my first film on Saturday and I am excited, wish me luck everyone.
Margaret.
Quick help with a solution. Just what I need it.It looks like a place with lots of opportunities. So far so good.
He was very helpful, concise, and responded in a reasonable amount of time! Great guy! Thank you, Backstage, for all that you have done! I promote you guys and girls often! Keep up the good work! Love you all!
If you ever need promo work, I would love to help out! www.vimeo.com/vp

Backstage is incredibly resourceful and helped me find the talent I needed for each project! I highly recommend using this site to assist with any casting needs!
I got one audition for this web series and a call back for a role... so I give this site a positive review.
I thought when signing up I would be receiving at least a couple of auditions. Most auditions even for smaller projects required video reels which I do not have because I'm just starting out or I suppose a really great headshot because I submitted to thousands of calls and only got one audition.
It a good site to gain experience but most jobs are not paid. It is no good for people looking for jobs on crew like make-up because you still have to put in your head shot and playing age, even though it is not relevant to you.
I'm very disappointed because it could be so much better if done properly. I've asked them to close my account. I hope they can do that right!
Didn't have to wait around a long time for the chat to start.
In less than 5mins my issue was sorted and explained easily and briefly. No heavy computer jargon.
I like Backstage's 'look'. The listings are easy to digest for different roles, compensation, etc. I just wish they had as many listings as other sites.
A staff member spent a lot of time explaining the process of placing my daughter's profile on the site. I really appreciated her friendliness and patience as she took me through the steps online.
The site is easy to use: it allows you to quickly find casting calls of every kind, and makes it easy to be found by talent seekers.
It was helpful with Ben, I needed help reaching out to a show your company produced a few years ago... and he pointed me in the right direction for help
Was charged for a renewal & NEVER rcvd a reminder or I would've cancelled because it's not worth it!
I regularly apply for jobs via this site and get few auditions as a result.
The staff is very nice and they helped me with all my requests.
I appreciate that Backstage thought enough to warn me even after they saw that I submitted for that scammers project.
I was having an issue with my profile and changing my location settings. It seemed to have been a problem with my account and the team from backstage ansered my email within 2 days and instantly fixed and changed my location.
