“I was just scammed out of $300 by a "Suzy Buckley", "Sam Damian" and "Natalie Risk".”

“Great app to apply for castings, not paid like student short movies and big paid projects as well. Will use this web from now on ✨”

“First the good. I'm an industry professional of 7 years - a jobbing actor as it were - and I can thank Mandy (or really, Casting Call Pro as it was before it was bought out) for helping me to establish my career. It was, for a long time, a brilliant platform on which to gain invaluable experience, and has led to contacts who I still work with 6-7 years down the line. It was a great pool for corporate work, short and student films and fringe theatre, with an intuitive and helpful interface, and a range of features that really gave me a sense of ownership over my career - it allowed me to track my applications, to see their status, and yielded really positive outcomes. The cost of an annual subscription was easily recouped. The bad news is that Mandy has recently been bought out by Backstage. Since its takeover, Mandy has lost a lot of its useful features. The quality of the jobs on the site has diminished rapidly - for the most part it seems to be teaching, immersive experience for parties and shopping centres, and badly paid corporate work. It was always a real gripe of mine that Mandy never monitored the rates being offered - commercial and corporate jobs will often use the site to exploit actors trying to gain a footing, by offering insultingly low rates. I'd flagged this in the past to no avail, and sadly there is even less of a chance of any user concerns being addressed - the customer service department appears to have become automated, and a community of actors have, since the takeover, offered a stream of feedback on the changes, all for the negative, with no real response offered by Mandy. It appears to be headed in the direction of Star Now, also a subsidiary of Backstage, by which they lure early-career actors to pay to access castings that really won't do much for the majority of users' careers. I've been with Mandy for 8 years, and I am on the verge of leaving the platform for the first time. It has always had its critics and those in the industry who have advised against it, yet I have remained an advocate throughout. Until now. I would not recommend joining - there are other emerging platforms out there - and I have no doubt that usership will drop as a result of the unconsidered changes being made, and poor customer service being offered.”

“I have had many opportunities for audition and work thanks to Mandy. In fact all my roles so far have been through the site and while it is undergoing some changes and upgrading at the moment, it is still a great source of acting opportunities if you know what you are looking for.”

“Terribly disappointing, no longer fit for purpose. I'm so sad and disappointed that I have to give Mandy a 1 star review, as I had been a happy active, paying member as both an Actor and Voice Artist on the site for many years, since it was formally Casting Call Pro & Voices Pro. Unfortunately the company was recently taken over by Backstage.com and they really have ruined what was a wonderful resource for professional performers, since the take over the sites features have been steadily broken apart and services reduced, and more importantly the number and quality of jobs on offer has fallen through the floor, basically making it less than useless to professional performers looking for jobs paying minimum industry standard rates”

“Mandy is a great platform for film makers (especially) writers to engage work with people all over the world. I have found some work with Mandy, apart from one individual who was a bit harsh and disrespectful, I have found Mandy one of the best platforms for film makers.”

“I bumped into this site randomly and found this amazingly working platform for job seekers. I am a music professional and the kind of offers i have been getting looks very professional and satisfying. I look forward to upgrade and get my hands on one of these. Wish all the very best to the team of "Mandy"”

“A decent amount of gigs available in areas outside NYC/LA. However, their search features are getting increasingly more frustrating to use: Search in one state, see results for many others. See a job one minute, now it isn't reappearing when I try to search again. And many jobs are posted incorrectly, i.e. a job seeking a crewmember asks for a talent profile. If this gets fixed, it'll be a great resource!”

“Really great tool for any actor/creative. Mandy makes it very easy to apply and keep track of applications, giving you the best chance to search and book your own work. The customer service is also great and getting back in touch with anything you might need a hand with. Would definitely recommend.”
