I've been looking into signing up with Mandy , myself, and your video is very timely for me. I appreciate your review. For what it's worth, both Upwork (which do I pay the monthly fee for better job access, although I fail to see any improvement in job postings or eligibility over members who do not pay) and Fiverr (which I have completely given up on) have the same problem with job post filtering. Specify you are male and see scores of posts strictly for female, tag yourself as English and see hundreds of jobs for other languages. Cheers
Yeah it’s a particular pet peeve of mine. It’s a simple coding issue that they could solve. Stick with the other platforms if you can. It sometimes just take time for things to start working.
I was making good money on FIVERR until I got suspended for violating the TOS. They are very strict. I tried Mandy and got 2 jobs right away. I did them and the clients were very happy with my work. Never got paid. I notified Mandy of this and they did nothing about it.
I've just got my free trial for Mandy, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it! I moved over from Voices which was so extortionate, so right now, Mandy is winning for me. Love your video, subscribed! :)
Exactly that. I’ve talked about it in other videos - check out my 11 tips for voice over. It’s a MASSIVE time saver for voice over when you make a mistake
Firstly, is it you on the Go Fibre ad, it sounds just like you! Secondly, great review, I am just coming to the end of my first month, free trial, just booked an unpaid gig so far so unsure about if it's worth me subscribing...
@@CrownStagVoiceover thank you! It was funny as it played just before your video 😅 in your experience on mandy do clients often reply late to book you, or is it generally "if you don't hear back in a day, it's a no "?
Neil, Somehow I missed it but did you say Mandy's collects the fee from the client and holds in escrow? Yes of course I subscribed and also shared your channel with a few VO actors in a Fiverr event session.
@@CrownStagVoiceover It was a simple session to connect VO actors with one another on the platform in online small group breakout sessions. They would prompt each session with fluffy little topics to discuss like how do you overcome stress or what is your proudest moment in the booth and in life. These group sessions usually went off script to sharing profiles, how long have you been doing this etc. I met a few who were fairly new to VO and Fiverr and so I recommended they subscribe to your channel.
Hi Neil. I had a look on Mandy website recently apperently the site has deteriorated since they amalgamated with Backstage and Star Now. Reading through Mandys forums there appears to be a large number of disgruntled members as well as a current mass exodus . I read your review and joined as a free member, a quick look through available jobs(not many)and reading the members forum I decided I wouldnt bother. I think your review woupd have been acurate when you produced it, maybe not so much since Mandy joined forces with other companies as mentioned ? Thanks.

@ken Mandy is no different unfortunately. I've been getting female foreign job alerts daily 😑

Caught your review of Mandy. Thanks. I've paid, but never received anything. Now subscribing to your channel. Cheers!

Aww, thank you. Yeah I was getting that feeling from Voices and voice123. It may have peaked but we will see.
Hi! What are their membership fees. I don't think they put them in a very obvious place.....
I think it’s £99 or £199
Thanks for another honest and helpful video Neil, hope you're doing well 👍 😊 Dale Preston VO
Great video thanks for sharing!
My pleasure.
This was very helpful
Thanks! Very helpful
My pleasure
do they hire American too? Just Uk?
They have a few but it’s not as regular as say a voices.cos
Neil, what are you holding in your right hand? Some sort of a clicker device?
Exactly that. I’ve talked about it in other videos - check out my 11 tips for voice over. It’s a MASSIVE time saver for voice over when you make a mistake
Hi neil, I am a certified filmmaker in America how accurate will it be for me?
Firstly, is it you on the Go Fibre ad, it sounds just like you!
Secondly, great review, I am just coming to the end of my first month, free trial, just booked an unpaid gig so far so unsure about if it's worth me subscribing...
Haha I honestly can remember it. I’ll need to google it. Well done on booking your gig
@@CrownStagVoiceover thank you! It was funny as it played just before your video 😅 in your experience on mandy do clients often reply late to book you, or is it generally "if you don't hear back in a day, it's a no "?
Complete coin toss to be honest. I’ve had both
@@CrownStagVoiceover good to hear, hopefully some may come back before the end of my trial ☺ maybe haha
Send me a link if you have it to this go fiber
How can you reach Mandy support? A real person
Neil, Somehow I missed it but did you say Mandy's collects the fee from the client and holds in escrow? Yes of course I subscribed and also shared your channel with a few VO actors in a Fiverr event session.
Yes, I think so, trying to remember the video now, I’m sure one of their criteria is a project is prefunded before advertised
Fiverr event session - tell me more

Oh, that’s really lovely of you. Thank you
