Mandy, Backstage

I've send an inquiry to Mandy directly but they haven't got back to me. Perhaps in an open forum where others can see and contribute their own questions they might respond. Mandy was acquired by Backstage about a year ago (or perhaps it's the other way around?) and I was wondering if membership in Mandy would carry over into Backstage? Does anyone know anything about that?

Editorial Comment Hi Luis, thanks for posting. Mandy is now part of the Backstage family, and login credentials are shared. However, the services remain separate and separate subscriptions are required. All the best!

I’m actually unsure if Backstage would require my credit card info at the start of the free period. I didn’t ask; just assumed it based on typical practice of other subscription-type services.

I've been on both Mandy and Backstage since the 2020 pandemic. Acting professionally since 2010. Finding it both ridiculous, alongside understandable, that Mandy charges separate fees for a Talent profile vs. Crew. I don't believe Backstage does, as the algorithm hasn't changed. Nor have I been billed for such, having both Talent and Crew profiles.

It's just an utter shame that Mandy charges differently than Backstage, though technically and otherwise, they are one and the same. Frankly I've preferred Backstage, considering their platform has deemed more user-friendly than Mandy's. So, I can see where it'd be a tough call for some.

I haven't received "bites" from Mandy, but several gig contacts from Backstage. So who knows.

I looked up voice123. They have a 2.78 rating and many complaints.

Very few VO jobs on Mandy especially for older adults. I guess I have to become a paid member of backstage too.
