Backstage - Casting Calls

You’ve got to love this app - it’s like a less-expensive agent. The only thing is that it doesn’t have support for iPad. This seems strange to me since when you look on the backstage webpage you can clearly see there is iPad support of some kind. Please add support for iPad on the app!

i was charged $84.99 for a subscription i never authorised. i want my money back immediately

Looks so amazing and would really love to actually use my subscription to apply for roles. I have purchased the subscription but it keeps saying that I do not have it but when I click on the subscription again, it says I already have it, but yet I still need it... would love some customer service ASAP.

This app is over rated and the subscription set up is ridiculous, they set it up so you have to go through your iTunes Store to cancel the Subscription, also if you have trouble logging into your iTunes Store then you can’t cancel your subscription all they want is your money They are a rip off don’t use this app. 👎

I have been wanting to get in to acting for a long time and I think I am go to do it

I’m an aspiring actress and i have being scrolling through this app for a while and i honestly think it will be the reason i get my first audition, it tells you dates and location and everything

So I’m 11 and have been in 4 plays for a local acting company. It doesn’t pay or anything, it’s just for fun. But that’s how I discovered I love acting. I was playing my game and saw an ad for backstage and thought it would be perfect for a starting child actor. There are a lot of opportunities near me which is great (do note I live near LA, Hollywood, Santa Barbara). There aren’t a lot of opportunities for a girl my age but there are some, and I could definitely pass as 13-15. I’ve found two jobs so far, one is an extra with a few lines and another is a lead for a movie (I probably won’t get it but it can’t hurt to try). I haven’t applied to anything yet because I wanna ask my parents first. I don’t think it is a great app for someone unemployed or under 18 because based on the comments it is a very expensive app. But I do like just looking at what’s open and having experience looking for an acting job. The app seems very professional, organized, and neat. If it wasn’t so expensive I think a lot of talented actors of all ages could find jobs and make a living off of it. If you really think “I’m going to be a famous actor/actress” then go for it! But if you’re more like “acting is a fun hobby of mine” don’t bother getting the app, the sign up is way to complicated, and all the jobs ( even the ones you don’t get paid for) are way to expensive to apply to. On the bright side, if you’re a model or backstage crew member this app also helps you find jobs for that too! Hope this helps!

The most toxic and disrespectful staff in the history of customer service. Have had to deal with them about a dozen times over 10 years and have never had a positive interaction. They act personally victimized and unapologetic if you want to point out a glitch. I recommend Actors Access, Casting Networks, and Playbill instead as their customer service is always very kind and helpful.

I had the app for a year, paid for a premium account, uploaded images. I never got not one gig or even a person interested and I had a applied to atleast 50-60 roles within a yrs timeframe. Nothing. 2yrs later backstage is still sending me emails for roles I’ll never be casted in. I even had a voice portfolio on there. Its truly a waste of time.

Pros! 1. It’s actually a good time looking through the movies and has a good way to filter what you want to act in from comedy, Tragedy, even stand up or voice acting! 2. It’s an extremely helpful set up and has endless possibilities of helping build the viewers dreams of being an actor/actress! Cons.. 1. I don’t really like the app because of its monthly fee. Like it limits my dreams of being an actor to pay extra. So if you could either like lower the prices or get rid of the monthly fee entirely that'd be great. 2. There isn’t really a search bar for any of this. Most of the time I’m busy looking up the name or category on google and I find one but when I go to the app I’m lost.
