Love Mandy. Honest to god will continue as such using this service until I either can't do anymore acting or I die.
As a freelancer in Video Effects, Editing and Camera Operation, I have used mandy on and off for the last 5 years or so in between contracted and long term work. I found work opportunities that suited each role and have used the listsings to sustain an employment.
Hi Ryan! We're glad to hear you're happy with the service and have found good opportunities through us. If we can help with anything else just get in touch via [email protected].
Mandy.com is great platform has a volume of offers in the Cinematographer & Camera Department and it is really helpful for freelancers. I highly recommend it.
Thank you for the great recommendation Fabian, helping freelancers is in our blood! Keep in touch if you need us at [email protected]
Mandy is really good for building up your showreel which makes it more likely for you to book actual paid gigs. The safety is still an issue, especially with the fact that actors still cannot look at the profile of a director or producer, to check out if they are legit and safe.
Thank you for taking the time to review us Rebecca. I can assure you that every job is vetted prior to posting by our in house team. If however you are ever concerned about an employer's legitimacy, please do email us at [email protected] as we would be happy to look into any of your concerns.
The site allows you to submit yourself for jobs which are mainly short films, extra work and still photography. At the moment, I'm not sure how much success people are getting but it's nice to read there are still lots of things going on in the creative industry. Good resource.
Hi Dannie, Thank you for reviewing us so positively, we wish you all the luck with your search! If there are ways you can think of to improve our service, please do get in contact at [email protected].

It's got an easy to use interface and many many unpaid job opportunities in eastern Canada. They do offer free premium time for the upgrade, so you can try it out before you decide to pay for the full membership so thats a plus.

I have only recently come across Mandy but after reviewing all aspects of the site I've found it to be very useful for the average Voice Talent freelancer. The site is easy to use and very well presented. Mandy offers a huge number of Talent that use high grade - professional equipment for recording client scripts of various natures. This is an excellent site for finding just the right fit for your project regardless of it's nature. I highly reccomend Mandy as a solution to acquiring Voice Over jobs and maintaining new contacts.
Hi James, What a lovely and thorough review! If you have any feedback on ways we could help in improving your experience, please do get in contact at [email protected].
Mandy is a simple but effective site for those looking to start in their acting careers. It's managed to pay for itself so it's been worth it for me.
I'm pleased to hear we've been of help to you Christopher! If you have any feedback on ways we could improve our service, please do get in contact at [email protected].
A fair amount of work goes up, usually a few every day and it's a great way to meet new people and get your career moving
Hi Stephen, thanks for taking the time to leave us this review! We work hard to ensure there's a good range of opportunities for our members. We can be found at [email protected] if you require any further assistance.
A good value for the dollar. Reviews, auditions, feedback, opportunities, all in one place. I very much like it. I am getting auditions through it and I'm increasing my network. I recommend it highly.
We appreciate your kind words, Alexander - it's great to hear you're happy with the network. If we can help with anything, just get in touch via [email protected].
A great service! Really easy to set up a profile and navigate the website. Even during Covid there have been so many jobs available to apply for and the email alerts are great, letting you know when a job matches your profile, or when casting folk have viewed you!
Thanks for this great review, Lucy! If there's anything else we can help with, you can find us at [email protected].
Great website for finding jobs ( paid and non paid) as well as build a network as you can connect directly with employers. The website is easy to navigate too. I've been on it for a month and have been successful with jobs!
We're so pleased you think this, Andrea! Please do reach out to us via [email protected] if we can help with anything else.
It seems to have a layout that tries to make the experience easy and convenient for users. The email alerts are enticing and do encourage/motivate hunting down opportunities. I look forward to finding out more and hopefully committing to something that will help provide valuable connections.

Mandy is such a great casting website! It organizes projects so that my search is effortless! I can easily search for paid projects vs unpaid projects in various cities! The structure is very easy and accessible
Hi Adrienne, we're so pleased you find the service easy to use! If we can help with anything else along the way, please do get in touch with us 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. 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].
