mandy.com is a fantastic platform for actors looking for auditions across the UK. It is very user friendly and easy to update your CV and profile information. There are a huge number of paid opportunities posted on a daily basis so there's a high likelihood something will be the right fit you everyone.

The site takes a while to set up but once you do you have to wait for your profile to get approved but I'm sure that once it's set up it will be a great way to find auditions
Hi Angelia, Thanks for taking the time to review us! It can take up to one full working day for any images to be approved, but if you have any other issues completing your profile, do reach out to us at [email protected], we would be happy to help.
What I like about it is it gives me access to people in all professions and listing. All in one place :)
Thank you for the lovely recommendation, Pawel! Keep in touch at [email protected] if you can think of anyways we could improve your experience with us.
Mandy offers lots of great opportunities especially for actors wanting to gain their first professional credits or more screen footage by offering student films as well as professional jobs. I'm new to Mandy but loving it so far!
It's great to hear you are having such a good experience so far Rachel! If you need any help along the way remember we are always available at [email protected]
Mandy has been helping me for a few years now to get paid jobs to help me gain experience. I've found full-time jobs and freelance opportunities.
Hi Marina, That's great to hear you found work through us! Thank you for the lovely recommendation! If you have any issues along the way, remember you can always reach out to us at [email protected]
Its great but i thought it was free? Besides having to pay everything is cool make sure you have a
Professional headshot or they wont approve your account.
HI Jaylah, Thank you for reviewing us. As a standard user, you are able to apply for any of the roles posted to our opportunities boards. Our Paid Jobs Boards are part of our Premium service. As a service for professionals within the entertainment industry, we do require our Actors to submit a professional headshot to complete their profiles. However, we are always available at [email protected] and are happy to help if you have any issues getting set up!
I know a lot of people who cast their short film projects using Mandy Network, so I would say if you're looking for that sort of work, it's worth signing up.
Hi Anna, Thank you for taking the time to review us. If you can think of any ways in which we can improve please do contact us at [email protected]
Mandy is a great way to start to book gigs when you are just starting out. When you don't have connections yet it can seem impossible to get on set but this can definitely help get your foot in the door. It can be frustrating at times not always getting a response or being able to talk in person to someone about why you want the job but definitely worth it.
Thank you for the recommendation, Payton! It's always worth persevering, though we do agree it can be tough out there. If you have any further suggestions on where you would like us to improve, please do get in contact with us at [email protected]
It is amazing that you can have a director profile and expose your work, to get projects around the world,
Totally recommended!
Thank you for taking the time to review us so positively, Jose. Please do get in contact with us at [email protected] if you have any suggestions on how we can improve your experience!
So i got a mandy profile after seeing it listed on IMDB and in all honesty not only have I enjoyed using the website, I've also found it extremely helpful in finding jobs and people to connect with. Its assisted me to connect on projects i'd initially found hard to get onto and i really appreciate the interface, it's easy to use and relevant.
What a dream of a review! Thank you so much Soliana, we are so pleased to hear we've been of help to your career. Do feel free to keep in touch via [email protected] if you ever need any support.
It's an ok site, there's lots of varied jobs which is nice but there is a huge amount of very low paid work. Jobs come in daily which is good.
Hi AC, Thanks for taking the time to leave this review. Our team works incredibly hard to ensure we have a wide range of jobs available for all our members, regardless of where they're based or where they are in their professional careers. If we can assist further, please get in touch via [email protected].
I have used Mandy as both an actor and as crew. I sourced all the cast and crew that I needed for various short films. It was easy and simple through Mandy, it's direct messaging tool made it very easy to communicate. All the actors sent me their audition tapes directly through Mandy, the process was a lot of fun! I am excited to see my next roles come through!
This is great to hear, Celeste! If we can assist further with any aspect of the platform please do get in touch via [email protected].
Perfect site for getting started as an actor - lots of unpaid work to build your portfolio and skills, and tons of low-paid opportunities for you as well once you're less green. Have been using it for years and love it!
Hi Kat, we're glad we can be here to support you! If we can help further, please get in touch via [email protected].
It's so much faster and easier than working through an agency that may not submit me to roles I feel suited for. I have so much to offer and I'm eager to connect with creative collaborators.
Hi Scot, thanks for this great review, we're pleased to have you on board! If we can help with anything please get in touch via [email protected].
As an upcoming Actress in Canada, Mandy has been my go-to site for roles to build up my resume and experience. Highly recommend it for any level artist.
Hi Grace, thanks for this review! We're glad we can be your go-to! If we can help with anything, please give us a shout on [email protected].
I have been with Mandy for a few months and I have been cast for some amazing castings- I would highly recommend!
This is great news, Lilly! If there's anything we can do to help going forward please just get in touch via [email protected].

Answer: Hi Chloe, Apologies for the delay in reply. You can indeed! Your membership will simply revert to a Standard membership which does not block employers from contacting you, nor does it affect existing applications. Please contact us at [email protected] if we can support you with anything else. Kind Regards, Roz - Mandy Customer Service Lead
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. As we are not a direct casting director or agency, we do not select who is successful for any role posted with us. We do indeed have a large number of users in both the US and the UK, but we do have our international region for members from all over the world! I hope this helps. Please do reach out to us at [email protected] if we can support you with anything else.
Answer: Hi Julia, Thanks for getting in touch. There are 2 sorts of Job-related emails we will send you. Our Daily/Weekly Opportunities round ups are not tailored to your profile, however, you can turn these off or change their frequency via your Profile settings. Your Job Alert emails, on the other hand, are tailored to your profile and are sent out as soon as the job is posted. 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. If we can help further, please reach out to us via [email protected].
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 [email protected]
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.
Answer: Hi Anna, thanks for your question, we'll be happy to help. Please refer to the status indicator when looking at Jobs > Applications, as this will give further information as to whether an application has been viewed or shortlisted.
