Welcome to Actors Platform. My newer and shinier version of Stand Up Drama. Providing you with the same great services but with a renewed energy in giving actors with what they need – the opportunity to perform and shine in front of the people that matter.


a monthly show for actors to perform monologues and duologues to a live audience & industry guests - great for getting an agent.


Weekly Casting Director Workshops - increase your chances of getting auditions.

It’s still myself, Melissa Leigh, that’s running the show and I’m excited to be providing the springboard you need for 2010.

Consider me your virtual manager! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, concerns, advice or ideas and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. I'm happy to provide the truthful and impartial advice you might need about your headshot or show reel and everything else I shall leave to the agents and casting directors that I’ll be getting you in front of.

Thanks for stepping up to

the Platform,

Melissa Leigh

platform workshops

The Platform Workshops are on-going weekly workshops led by some of London's top Casting professionals. Sign up for a block of six classes and meet, learn from and perform in front of the people that can give you the job.

The workshops aren’t an audition or a promise of work but the relaxed and productive classes will give you an invaluable insight into what you need to know to get work.

Course 3 & 4 - 4 places remaining


The Platform will take over where the award-winning London Bites left off.

Running monthly shows at SWAY, Covent Garden for actors to perform short pieces of drama, comedy and new writing in front of a live audience and industry professionals.

Click here for more information and keep checking back for news of the next auditions.

Even I did it once! London Bites

March 2006. I was a little emotional...

(I know there will be 10 this year but I'm sure it will be one of these)
