I LOVE THIS PLACE!
September 30, 2020

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!

Not helpful
September 29, 2020

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.

Fairly good website
September 29, 2020

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.

Model of Consistency
September 29, 2020

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.

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.

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.

Diverse acting work
September 19, 2020

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.

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!

Good for opportunities
September 10, 2020

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

Waste of time and money
September 8, 2020

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

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!
