Hi Evan! We offer casting and job opportunities for actors and others in the film, television, and theater communities. In order to best support and maintain this service, users need to purchase a subscription in order to be able to apply to the casting notices posted on our site. This is not unlike other sites that offer access to castings. Unless you are already a well-established actor with a talent agent who can connect you with productions directly, unfortunately, it is difficult to simply email a production and ask to be considered for a role, unless the production chooses to publicly list their contact information in an open call. There are not many productions that choose to cast that way, not to mention that this is a huge risk, as unfortunately, scams are rampant in this industry. Backstage's mission is to help new actors self-submit to unlimited jobs on a secure platform with vetted job posters, so that talent can take control of their careers without needing a talent agent. There is a small team of employees working around the clock to ensure we're making the auditioning and applying process as seamless as possible for our customers. However, we can't do this work for free, either. We're all just trying to survive in this cut-throat industry as well. Hope that clears up any confusion!

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave us your honest feedback about our service! We're sorry to hear that you did not hear back from any job posters. Please note, however, that this is not within Backstage's control, as we do not influence casting and have no say in who is cast or contacted; that decision is up to the job poster/casting director. As for your payment issue, unfortunately, since payments are processed through a third party, certain issues can only be addressed by the third party's support team (in this case, Stripe), as we have limited access to your private payment account and do not have certain administrative control over their platform. In any case, we're very sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your experience and hope you are able to make the most of the remainder of your subscription. Please feel free to email our support team if you have any other feedback or questions regarding your Backstage account. Best of luck!

Hi Julius! Yes, our service is not free. We offer casting and job opportunities for actors and others in the film, television, and theater communities. In order to best support and maintain this service, users need to purchase a subscription in order to be able to apply to the casting notices posted on our site. This is not unlike other sites that offer access to castings. Generally, there are many other costs you have to consider when pursuing an acting career (hiring a professional headshot photographer, taking acting classes, etc.) Best of luck!
