I'm delighted to have been cast in featured roles in two different projects this year. The annual fee has more than paid off for me, not just financially but from the experience I've gained.

Ali and Katy are always contactable to offer advice on the castings they facilitate and the package they offer is something I think every actor should invest in.

Ruth Hayes (Actor)

I’m loving Fishpond because…
Fishpond provided all casting info in a clear, concise and entirely hassle free way. I constantly felt clued in to the casting process all the way through, both for successful and unsuccessful auditions. It offers all actors one guarantee that's hard to come by: opportunity.

John Morton (Actor)

I’m loving Fishpond because…

I couldn't recommend this site any higher and I am lucky to have got some great work out of it.

Cormac Finan (Actor)

I had a great time shooting the commercial I was cast in. Everyone looked after me and made me feel really special, thanks to Fishpond I got the chance to experience something different. I also got loads of biscuits from the catering table which made the day. It was great fun getting soaked and what's more, it wasn't even raining - A big water truck made the rain. It really was the land of make believe for a day.

Fionn (Actor)

I’m loving Fishpond because…
it keeps you in the loop with what’s casting and when. I recently got cast in a fun project and the Fishpond team were wonderful throughout the whole process.

Ruth Berkeley (Actor)

I’m loving Fishpond because…
of the huge opportunities they have created for me! I love the fact that they cast from within the performing arts sector for all aspects such as acting, singing and dancing to even voice over work. Fishpond has opened the door to a massive network for myself and colleagues alike, giving many up and coming talented performers the opportunity to work alongside some great actors and directors. I'm very happy to be a Fishpondian

David Latham (Actor)

I’m loving Fishpond because…
it gives me, as well as hundreds of others actors, opportunities that we otherwise wouldn't have. I've been cast in a few things through Fishpond but even if I don't get cast I always come away from the audition happy. Whether it be from getting the chance to meet directors and producers or even from befriending like-minded individuals who are auditioning too and going on to work with them in the future. Not to mention the team are always lovely and a joy to work with. Here's to 2017!
Thank YOU

without them, we would not have sight of all the wonderful opportunities that are available. We were both lucky enough to be picked for a national billboard campaign and had the best time being photographed with some really talented other people.

For this I am grateful for a great site like Fishpond. And to top it off all the team are so sound and know your name when you go in and make you feel like you're important. So everyone that is thinking that the acting world is daunting, needs to get on fishpond.

Whether you're represented or not you're in the know. You have access to the most recent jobs that are available and better still can apply with the click of a mouse.

Colman Hayes (Actor)

I’m loving Fishpond because…
they have put me, a senior citizen, on a new career path. I have been a farmer, a dementia patient and shortly a judge in a murder trial, (purely as an actor of course). It is great fun in retirement, which is down to Fishpond and their varied selection of roles for all ages

I was also awarded Fishponds 'F.A.B' Bursary earlier this year and won a full year membership!!

Megan O'Malley (Actor)

I have had a Fishpond profile for about 4 years now and I have loved every minute of it. It is a great way to keep you refreshed. It allows you to keep practicing hard at your art by turning up to as many castings and auditions as possible and banking in excellent job opportunities. The Fishpond team have been so supportive since I've started and I've managed to get a lot of auditions through the site.

I secured my first ever ad through the site, and considering I couldn’t find a summer job the pay is very much appreciated as I’m starting college in a month! I am loving it because there are new jobs on an almost daily basis, and unlike some other websites you don’t apply for ten thousand and get none, this is only my fifth or sixth time applying for an audition. I’m extremely happy with Fishpond and hope to use it for many years to come!

Hugh McInerney (Actor)

Garry Mountaine (Actor)

I’m loving Fishpond because…
I get to go to loads of castings, I’ve been a member since Jan 2016. When a suitable role appears on my page I apply and regularly get called for a casting. I’ve been in a TV commercial and I’ve recently got a role in my first ever short film, 3 days on set, I had a ball. Fishpond has given me brilliant opportunities and all the castings I go to give me nbsp;more confidence. Not bad work for an 8 year old thanks to Fishpond

It was a fantastic day's shoot for all of us. Every single member of the team at Fishpond has been friendly, efficient and accommodating. The Fishpond platform offers unrepresented as well as represented actors a chance to audition for well-paid professional jobs. Definitely worth signing up for.

Gerry Herbert (Actor)

Definitely one of the highlights of my day is logging on to Fishpond to see what new postings there are. And now, success! Having secured a role on a nationwide ad to run in the second half of the year, I feel like a million bucks thanks to the treatment from all at Fishpond. And this is before the ad is even shot! I was consulted at every turn, briefed well and kept-up-to-date of progress. Not something to be taken for granted in this market. It's been a life-affirming experience for this actor.

Shane Casey (Actor)

I love Fishpond because, in the three years I've been with them, I've got two commercials and had the opportunity to work with director Ken Wardrop. I'm based outside Dublin and without Ali, Katy and Fishpond would never get to hear of opportunities. Thanks to you all - you really look after us!

Sharyn Hayden (Actor)

Just a short note to thank you once again for all your help in the past few weeks. I have just finished filming my most recent TVC. This is my 5th Ad in the 3 years, Irish and International, all thanks to Fishpond. I have also had other work & VO's as a result of Production Companies being able to view my profile. As an independent actor your help is immeasurable and I am getting more work than some of my represented actor friends! As you know my little boy, thanks to Pondlings, has also been shortlisted a couple of times in commercials (no luck yet but his time will come ! :) ) Both of us enjoy coming into see you and certainly from my little boy’s perspective you make it fun and undaunting. Keep up the good work and keep the work coming ! :)

I joined Fishpond last summer and since then I have been invited to several castings and presented with fantastic opportunities. I was cast in January and owe a huge thank you to Ali, Katy and all the lovely fish for making my bank balance look very good for a change! It's a great opportunity for actors in Ireland and well worth the investment.

Kelly McAuley (Actor)

I first joined Fishpond in January of 2010, back when Fishpond was but a little fry. Since then, I have used Fishpond to compile every single credit I've achieved over the last 3 and a half years. Fishpond is my one hub for all my acting material, readily laid out, professionally and respectably. My own Irish, Spotlight! Ali, Katy and the whole school are - and always have been - very approachable and swimmingly considerate. Auditions have been easy and nerveless and always a bit of fun, self tapes have been handled well and always viewed fairly. So here's a massive scaly fins up from a jolly jocose jellyfish enjoying his swim in a pond of possibility.

Lochlainn Mc Kenna (Actor)

Congratulations on the new site. It's great to see the range of jobs on offer and allows the rest of us Fishes to feel we're in the right pond. May you go from strength to strength and may the fishing be better than ever.

Graham Dodd (Actor)

I'm loving Fishpond because it's a great insight to how things work in this wonderful industry. I recently got the chance to be apart of the google 10 years online video, which was an amazing experience. Fishpond is a great service to the industry as well as its actors. I would and do recommend it to any Actor.

Kyle Stokes (Actor)

I'm loving Fishpond because the Fishpond team are top drawer and offer each and every member such wonderful opportunities week in and week out. Jump in. Make waves. Fishpond rocks!

Adrian Hudson (Actor)

I like Fishpond because it alerts you personally about opportunities. I have been alerted to dozens of opportunities in the last month. It is a very user-friendly forum, once you have your profile set up it is very simple and quick to apply for jobs. Casting users can view my show reel and listen to my voice reel through my profile, which gives them a good indication of my range for casting. Contracts, terms and conditions are very clearly stated also through Fishpond. Overall I think it is the effective communication and user friendliness, which makes Fishpond stand out and saves all of us time.

Michael Dempsey (Actor)

I joined Fishpond two months ago and since then got cast in a new Meteor commercial. It was a great opportunity and has also been an excellent addition to my showreel. Cheers to Ali and all at Fishpond.

Manus Halligan (Actor)

I recently returned home to Ireland from the US, where immediately I joined Fishpond and a couple weeks in booked 'Romeo & Juliet Unplugged'. Just about to run out the door to try and land my first commercial, Thanks Fishpond. Everybody needs to get wet..... Jump in!

Muiris Crowley (Actor)

I am loving Fishpond because it allows actors to view castings and decide themselves if they feel a role is right for them. This unique freedom gives you the chance to meet casting directors, directors and others in a role you feel most suited to. It's an invaluable resource for anyone pursuing acting work.

Trevor Somers (Actor)

I'm loving Fishpond because as a freelance self represented actor it is one of the few avenues through which I can access work and like all " fishing expeditions " now and again luck smiles on one and recently I had a catch!

Seamus Feerick (Actor)

Ali and team are always so helpful and friendly, totally on the ball with what's going on casting wise in Dublin. Membership is worth every penny & thanks to my last job... Santa was able to stop by this Christmas! Right on Fishpond x

Eve Macklin (Actor)

As an Actor who worked primarily on the stage I wanted to try my hand at TV and Film, but without an agent or relevant experience how could I achieve this? The answer is Fishpond.ie. Over the last year and thanks to Fishpond I have attended many auditions and put together introductions and monologues. I have also been lucky enough to secure a part on a Corporate DVD and more recently a Television advert. Now I am in a position to put together a showreel and hopefully progress further.

Fran Cooke (Actor)

Well it all sounded a little fishy to start off with when I heard about it but then when I took the leap I couldn't believe how in the loop I was straight away. Now all I can say is 'what a great catch'. People in the industry can now get their hooks into me easier & all my info is on show for everyone to see. Plus no audition will ever escape me. I'm a big fish at last ..gloop glopp!

Donna Lyons (Actor)

Well obviously I'm a huge Fishpond lover, securing one gig not only got me out of a tight spot at the time (you actor people know the tight spot I'm talking about ;-] ), but it paid for my Fishpond membership multiple times! But my favourite part of my Fishpond story is how well perceived my profile is internationally. I moved to Chicago, U.S. last year and it is great to be able to pass around my card (yes they do that here) with my Fishpond link on it. They can see my headshot, CV and my videos, which is great as I haven't got a demo yet! So there you go, Fishpond has travelled and Chicago loves it! Best wishes for all the future.

Gemma Crowley (Actor)

It recently brought a windfall...

Christina Carty (Actor)

I was recently cast in a commercial and received the brief through Fishpond. The whole procedure was completely simple and carefree.

Stefanie Preissner (Actor)

Just a note to say I am getting ready to head to Sligo to do "What's it worth", which I secured through Fishpond, which is fantastic as I only joined the site a couple of months ago.

Gary Mullan (Actor)

I would like to say a BIG thank you to Fishpond and the all team for all the help and encouragement they gave to my daughter Isabella. Without it she would never have gotten the opportunities and success from recent castings in both the still campaign for Eir and a supermarket commercial for Lidl. Isabella is loving the whole process and the experience alone if fantastic! She says it’s the best thing that she has ever done and from an 8 year old that says an awful lot.

Isabella ((Young Actor))

Fishpond are admirable at what they do. Since Kacey joined she has been given the opportunity to audition for several roles that match her playing age. Since Kacey secured her first job her confidence has grown and she feels confident for future casting.

Kacey ((Young Actor))

Auditions can be frustrating, disappointing and disheartening at times BUT when one door closes another will ALWAYS open. Fishpond gives actors the opportunity to do their thing, again and again. THANK YOU to the pond of fish who gave me the opportunity to work on a great commercial with a great bunch of people and ultimately get paid for it! Anyone who has an interest in acting needs dive into the pond and become a member -what have you got to lose?
