Overall, while the platform offers potential for networking and job discovery, the lack of support and inconsistent job outcomes detract from the user experience.

Good site for jobs in theatre and the arts. Especially after covid its good to see most jobs in one place. Most information is available from the employer and formatted well.
Great for newbies as it essentially helps scout your talent out. Definitely recommend the premium if you've got a lot of work in your area!
Thank you for joining us! It's great to hear you value our service so highly! Please do get in contact at [email protected] if we can support you with anything else.
Mandy is a useful job for finding work in film production. It's possible to search for opportunities for free. However, you need to pay to apply for paid listings.
Thank you for the lovely review, Alex. If you can think of any ways in which we can improve our service please do get in contact at [email protected]
Not only is this site extremely user friendly, but the customer service is excellent. Any questions I have, they answer promptly and effectively. I am looking forward to the opportunities it will provide!
Thanks, Taylor! We aim to please! As always please do keep in touch at [email protected] if you need anything!
This is an amazing UK platform for those who aspire to be in the voice-over/narration industry. The opportunities seem amazing and the website is easy to navigate. So glad I found it!
Thank you so much for this lovely review Sherrelle! We do try our best! If you ever need anything, please do keep in touch at [email protected]
Mandy great agency, professional. They are go to for professional actors. I know friends on the site. Everyone likes this site.
Thanks for this lovely review, though we are not an agency, we really appreciate the positive feedback! If we can help with anything please let us know via [email protected].
This website is really helpful for young actors and actresses! They have listings of agents too which is honestly great!
What a lovely review, thank you so much Zoe! If you ever need anything please do get in contact at [email protected]
I just started using it and I see there is a lot of work available, but to apply you need to be a paid member. I am looking forward to trying the premium version so I can see if it's worth it or not.
Thank you for taking the time to review us Ornela! 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 but I hope you enjoy using both! If you can think of any ways we could improve our service please do email us at [email protected]
I subscribed for one year of premium service and after 4 months they did an 'update' which rendered the site unusable. I can't apply to any job because the site never acknowledges that I've logged in (as it pertains to being able to apply for jobs).
I have contacted them 7 times over the last 3 weeks and have gotten no support. They also refused me a pro-rated refund.
As it was many of the jobs were stale, were links to other sites, or literally paying nothing, but at least the site worked for those nearly 4 months.
I am sorry to hear that our team were unable to resolve your issue. The recent update to our system only removed the ability for you to automatically log in via your email links. This change was applied to increase security on our system and has not prohibited any user from accessing the Premium features they have paid to access. Please do contact [email protected] to cooperate with our team in resolving the issues you are facing.
I'm relatively new to acting in the UK and I have had a difficult time getting any jobs. I don't want to spend more money than I already have on agencies and other sites that claim to get you jobs but don't actually help you get anything. A friend recommended the Mandy website, and although registration is free, I'm upset that I have to pay to get any real benefits from the site. It would be nice if there were more opportunities for free accounts. Don't get me wrong, Mandy is a good site but most actors don't want to be spending money that they're not making. The free time initiative is great but it's so limited. It can be frustrating when all you want is a gig / a foot in the door. I hope this changes soon.
Hello Andrew, Thank you for reviewing us and for your feedback. I'm sorry that you feel this way and will of course pass on your feedback to the relevant team. Our service is designed to help our users connect with employers across the world, however we cannot guarantee success for all applications and thus do not promise this to our users. As we are not an agency our Premium features are available for a subscription fee, though please do reach out if you would like advice on how to optimize your profile to make the most out of either of our Standard or Premium memberships via [email protected]
Mandy is my 1# choice to help promote my voice over business. It's simple yet very effective. A must-have!
Hi Joshua, Thank you so much for the high praise! If you can think of any ways we could improve our service please do email us at [email protected]
Mandy is a great place to start for any aspiring actors. It has helped me to gain knowledge of the type of work available in this industry, and has made me aware of what I need to obtain to be considered. I will say that after many applications I am yet to land a job, however the auditioning opportunities have helped me grow massively as an actor.
Hi Haleem, Thank you for recommending us and I am glad to hear you have taken so much from your time with us. If you ever need any tips on how to improve your profile or optimise your applications please do get in touch at [email protected]
Well designed and well laid out. I'm about to try to the premium upgraded service to see if I can get work in my area. I heard that a famous local NYC audio engineer got his start on Mandy so I figured I need to get on there. I wish you could apply for at least 2 or 3 jobs a month for free, sucks I can't do a single thing with an unpaid account but I guess they get you by making you sign up and then realizing you can't do a thing with a free account...? Either way I'm excited to see if the work is out there. I'm good at what I do and hungry to work. You get a free 1 week trial when you leave a review here, good or bad. Here we go!
Hi Joshua, Thank you for taking the time to review us and I hope our premium service gives you what you are looking for! 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. Do let us know if there are any other ways we can improve by emailing us at [email protected]
Mandy has helped me with my last few jobs in theatre and couldn't recommend them enough. You always see jobs before any other site and their website is very easy to use. Any problems you may have, their communication is quick and helpful.
Thank you so much, Katie! We love to help our members! Please do get in contact if we can support you with anything further at [email protected]
Didn't really find it worth it to pay for premium. No real jobs came from paying premium. Or I would get Job offers from places way outside of my selected locations. Like I get it, you guys want to make it seem like your website job offers are popping, but they're not. Sometimes, moronically, you see a job offer here that says you still have to apply through another site, that is just like this one. No real guarantees. And it is a little irritating that even now that I am no longer paying for premium, I'm getting emails about jobs that sound great, but only applicable if I upgrade to premium again. With no real guarantee. Just send me jobs that I can apply for without you robbing me please. I've heard from others as well that there are other & better platforms available. Thankfully the few jobs I was able to land, were through the classic platform of word of mouth. Not paying for a service that has no real guarantees and instead seem to be more like a "guarantease". If I am not paying for premium, stop sending me jobs only available if I pay for premium, since you can't even guarantee it. This platform "service" is basically extortion. Sorry to say, but mandy.com is not worth it. You have a better chance cold calling.
Hello Chrystian, I am sorry to hear you have had a negative time using our service and we did not offer what you were expecting. Our Network is designed to help our users connect with employers across the world, however, we cannot guarantee success for all applications and thus do not promise this to our users. We do however strive to offer you the tools you need to succeed in the industry, including collecting all advertised roles we can find in one place.
If you would like to contact us at [email protected] we would be happy to offer any advice on how to optimise your profile or how to best utilise our standard service if you do not wish to upgrade.
Great platform for keeping up to date with what work is available. A free profile is still useful for this, and of course the subscription means unlimited applications.
Hi Dominique, I am so pleased to hear that you are enjoying using our platform for your applications! If you have any ideas for ways in which we can improve your experience please do get in contact at [email protected]
There are job opportunities sent to my e-Mail on a daily basis. They are varied and geographically expansive
Thank you for the high rating Carolynn, I'm glad we can offer you the variety you are looking for. If you can think of any ways we could improve our service please do email us at [email protected]
I like Mandy a lot. Great website, lots of useful advice and articles. I wish there were a few more jobs posted but honestly, all in all the jobs are well paying! Thank you.
Hi Lukman, Thank you for your honest review, We are always pushing to find as many roles as we can for you so do keep an eye out! If you can think of any ways other we could improve our service please do email us at [email protected]
Very useful for job seeking and finding new jobs in a specific field. However, the premium membership is very expensive and often needed for certain elements of the jobs.
Thank you for your honest feedback. Our free standard membership does allow you to apply for any positions posted to our opportunities boards. We do offer sales and discount from time to time so please do key an eye on our promotional emails! I will of course pass your feedback on but If you have any further ideas for ways in which we can improve please do get in contact at [email protected]
Mandy Voices is a great place to find lots of varied voice over opportunities. They send multiple updates a day, so you don't miss out on anything that may fit your style.
Thanks for this great review! We are so pleased we could be of help! If we can support you further in any way please let us know via [email protected].
Answer: Hi Alicia, That's Great! If you are based in the UK we have a Mandy Kids UK site available for anyone under the age of 18. We offer a 30 day free trial for this site so you can sign up for free and try it out! If you need any help signing up, get in touch with us at [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. If you see the status is "Viewed", this means the employer has reviewed your application. If you have any further questions please get in touch at [email protected].
