I am an upcoming actor/ voice-over artist. And Mandy has helped me so much land man gigs during this difficult times of COVID-19. It is like having your own agent that works for you and connects you with other artists. LOVE THIS PLACE!
I signed up for Mandy a long time ago, and wasn't getting any work for the premium amount I was paying. As a costumer with more experience, this was just not useful. I finally decided to take a break so I could try to save up some money in hopes of potentially trying again in a few years. When I went back to log-in with my "already created" email, and the website kept sending me back to the log-in page and logging me out the minute I signed in. The only other option was to try and re-sign up with a new email. Would not suggest this for a site that doesn't actually promise or guarantee any work for production techs.
Hi Josephine, thanks for this review - we're sorry to hear you had this experience. This is something we'll definitely be able to help with, so please do get in touch with us via [email protected] and we'll be happy to help.
I do like Mandy however I wish there were more options for people who could not afford the $14 monthly, maybe a couple of months free pass or better still an option to apply to one premium job per day. Overall, i have found many opportunities through Mandy.
Hi Paula, thanks for your review. We have a few options available for earning free time to the site (found via the Free Time tab) - if we can help any further with this please get in touch via [email protected].
Since my signup with Mandy, I have received consistent alerts on audition notices, and since I am in the beginning stages, that's all I can ask for. Receiving both paid and unpaid postings allows me to explore every opportunity.
Hi Korbid, we're glad to hear you're happy with the service. If we can help with anything else just get in touch via [email protected].
Mandy is a great site, full of opportunities. I have daily updates and job applications. Plenty of Voice over jobs, extra and Acting work.
Get a free trial and give it a go.
Hi Heather, we appreciate your kind words. If we can help with anything in future please do get in touch via [email protected].
Mandy is a great website for finding new jobs, and connecting with the industry. Always new jobs available. Feels a bit wrong having to pay a lot of money to apply for jobs, but if you do, there are a lot of jobs to apply for.
Hi Norae, thanks for your review! Premium membership doesn't just give you the ability to apply for paid jobs, it also gives you an enhanced listing in our directory, and unlocks access to exclusive events. We're glad you enjoy using Mandy, if we can help with anything else just get in touch via [email protected].
I'm starting out my career in TV&Film and have recently signed up to Mandy to search for opportunities. So far I have got 1 job as a runner for a music video which was great, however the role was unpaid. The website itself works well, but my main issue with it is the number of unpaid roles advertised. This is a large problem in the creative industry and believe websites like this are encouraging unpaid work which is less than ideal.
Hello Olivia, Thank you for taking the time to review us, and for the positive star rating. We do not post unpaid roles to our Paid Jobs boards and our Voluntary or low-paid Opportunities are only posted if they meet our strict guidelines. Please do contact us at [email protected] if you would like to learn more.

I get loads of short film, commercial and feature gigs from Mandy and I always make my money back. I check it everyday it's great!
Great to hear you find our service so helpful Brittany! Keep in contact at [email protected]!
This is a great website for performers as new paid jobs are posted daily, giving you plenty of options. If you can't afford the premium version or don't feel ready to take on high level professional work, there's also plenty of unpaid opportunities in a separate section for free.
I'm so glad you have gotten so much out of our service Aiysha! If you need any help along the way remember we are always available at [email protected]
Great for finding upcoming opportunities in the film/television industry. Many opportunities are low budget films so if you're looking to gain some unpaid experience then Mandy is a fantastic tool for this!

If you live in London the opportunities and jobs on mandy are brilliant with a small range outside of the big city. Not sure of they could do with developing a short listing services which alerts you to whether your application gained any interest, and the head shot criteria was tough to pass, but the team were happy to help once I spoke them

Hello
Mandy.com offered me a 3 month payment holiday as a result of the corona virus but never offered it.
I also don't know how that can justify the annual premium especially as spotlight are cheaper
Hello Jaime, Thank you for your review and for your feedback. I'm sorry that you feel this way and will of course pass on your feedback to the relevant team. I am sorry that we were unable to help you with a payment holiday offer. You are always welcome to contact us at [email protected] if we can support you with anything else.
Great site for corporate and promotional Paid Voice over work, i get around 5-6 emails a day of available work with my parameters. Only downside (for me) which im not sure Mandy can help with is a lot of the jobs going dont offer a custom audition.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, James! I will of course pass on your feedback to our team, unfortunately, the sorts of auditions available are dependant on the Employers needs. Please do get in contact at [email protected] if we can support you along the way
It's great to see a range of jobs appear day after day, covering all elements of the acting industry. It's always a nice surprise when someone professional has seen your profile and drops you a message to offer you a role too. I'm soon to be shooting a short film in Italy, what a joy!
Hi Lucy, That's great to hear, good luck with the shoot! Keep in touch at [email protected] if you need anything!
Mandy is a great way to build experience and make money in the TV and Film industry. It's easy to use and effective at putting your name in the hands of REAL professionals.

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.

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.
