I have been on the Mandy network for over a year and this is a great place to find opportunities from across the globe. Sitting in India, I can apply for jobs, build connections and land opportunities. Recommend this to anyone looking for convenience and otherwise.
Mandy is very organized and offers a broad range of services and resources. I like that it allows you to tailor your searches pretty specifically when job searching, and it is very easy to update your credits and profile. I like that it is aesthetically pleasing and provides a lot of ways to navigate the site without being confusing.
The website is really easy to use and clear about the roles. It is also not very expensive which is great when you're starting out like me with two options available for memberships. Really easy to use and would definitely recommend

I have found Mandy great for networking and I have made connections with other parents in the industry. It is a great platform for finding information and is very useful. We have applied and done a few self tapes and we are hopeful our daughter will get something.

Hi Amy, Thank you for such a lovely review! Please keep in touch at emails@mandy.com if you ever need anything!
I have used Craiglist in the past for searching for gigs and video related work, but this site has more (and more legit) postings and openings. It's free to create and account and free to browse the job postings, BUT (and this is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5), you need to upgrade to a paid account to apply for a job. However, if the low payment is a hurdle, they have some options (like leaving reviews for the site or referring friends) that can gain you some free time.
Thank you for the recommendation, Daniel! If you have any suggestions on where you would like us to improve, please do get in contact with us at emails@mandy.com
1 star because I couldn't give it less. It used to be a good site for those trying to find a foot into the industry but now it's turned to $#*!. To apply for a job/posting now you have to pay X amount of money which is a total scam so i will be no longer using the site. STAY AWAY.
I regularly apply for jobs via this site and get a high number of auditions as a result. I've used their headshot directory and agents database in the past.
I've never paid for premium membership, but do like what I get for free.
Thanks so much for the thumbs up, Chris! Here's to many more auditions. Cheers! Amelia
Mandy is my first signed website for acting works.It is very usefull and easy. You can add your profile and comes many matching jobs to your e mail and you can apply. Thats easy. I am so happy to be part of it as an actress.
Thank you so much for the lovely review Gulcin, Please contact us at emails@mandy.com if you have any questions!
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 emails@mandy.com
Just had a freelancer call me thinking I was hiring said they where contacted by this site
Said they where asked to make a donation before they where put in touch with me.
Freelancer contacted me direct via my site. That's how I found out
Maybe Mandy is scam or hacked either way I had to report this to Internet fraud
Freelancer was kind enough to forward all the emails.
Be carful guys
Hi Brendon, thanks for taking the time to report this. Mandy.com does not ask for upfront "donations" in order to be connected to employers - please get in touch with us via emails@mandy.com so that we can look into this further.
Well worth the money. Within the first two months of my signing up, I landed a west-end pay-grade job that ran for 15 months. Really worth the time and effort for any actor with a sense of agency and industry. Sign up!
What a lovely review, thank you so much! I am so pleased you have been so successful with us! If you need anything please do get in contact at emails@mandy.com
Mandy is a great site for newcomers to the performance industry. The daily alerts to opportunities, easily editable profile and access to nationwide auditions makes Mandy the go to place for aspiring actors and th like. Big thumbs up!
Thank you for the lovely review John! If you can think of any ways we could improve our service or need some help along the way please do email us at emails@mandy.com!
I signed up for Mandy today as a voiceover and thus far have a basic membership. I like the interface and the the job posts seem interesting, but I can't see much at this point. Honestly, it was hard to find information related to the membership level for talent. Still trying to determine if a paid membership is worth it...
Thank you for taking the time to review us, Lauren. Please do get in contact with us at emails@mandy.com if you have any suggestions on how we can improve your experience as you get used to the service.
I have been using this website for years! It's great and easy to use, I have got a whole bunch of work from this website. Easily let's you read the characters and apply for roles. I have also received a lot of submissions for scripts that I have needed. Great job!
Hi Lauren, It really is lovely to hear such great feedback from one of our long term members! Please let us know if we can ever be of further help at emails@mandy.com
Disappointed that Mandy requires payment to apply to any jobs. The site is great in terms of building your profile and searching for jobs in the industry, but it will take time to determine if paying for the site is worth your while.
Hello Samantha, 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. Please contact us at emails@mandy.com if we can help with anything!
I signed up for the entry level account. Within 24 hrs got an email said there's a match in my area (I'm located in a rural part of California) identical to my profile but to apply I needed to upgrade to the paid account version. Paid for the upgrade and responded to the post. The post went down within a hour with no response from the poster. Did Mandy just fleece me for a paid subscription account?
Hello Jim, Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear this has been your experience. We often have Job postings that are submitted with a very quick turn around, most commonly on our performer's sites but also with our crew recruitment. We always encourage our employers to respond to all applications. If you wish to discuss this further please do get in touch at emails@mandy.com
Mandy network is a good website to promote your profile. Employers have the ability to view your profile to see if you are eligible or are an ideal candidate. There's a good range of jobs available.
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 emails@mandy.com
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 emails@mandy.com 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 emails@mandy.com 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 emails@mandy.com.
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 emails@mandy.com
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.

Answer: Hello Maria, Thank you for your question. We do indeed post a number of roles in your field, the best profile type to create is a Theatre Professionals profile! If you need help getting set up please contact us at emails@mandy.com
