Meladrama Acting School - Preston

I’ve been going to Meladrama since I was 17. I’ve just turned 25 and couldn’t imagine not having the drama group in my life. Mel is such a fantastic teacher who cares so deeply about the children and teenagers in her classes.. plus she’s super talented herself!

When I started I was so anxious and had been told by numerous teachers in the past that I was far too quiet to ever be an actress. Fair to say within a few months (I actually think it was by the end of the two week line!) I was up on stage performing to my family and got such a confidence boost from it. Confidence is so important for everyone, not just actors. This drama school isn’t only for the ones who dream of being on the tv screens. It’s also for the ones who shy away from meeting new people or the quietest kids in the back of the class who need that little boost. Trust me, you won’t go wrong sending your children here. The adult group is here for you too!

My daughter started Meladrama in September and is loving every minute of it. Her confidence is booming which has been noticed by family, friends and teachers at her school. She gets on with everyone in her class, no-one is left feeling out of place. Everyone is made to feel welcome from the moment they enter the class. She won ‘The Rising Star’ award at Christmas for her progress since starting. Thankyou Mel & Faye for being such great teachers, keep up the good work xx

Ive been going to meladrama for a couple of years now, and its helped me grow in confidence so much, Mel is such an amazing teacher, helping me develop and learn new acting skills, and bringing me so many opportunities! 10/10 recommend :) xx

Absolutely brilliant drama school. Mel really gives it her all and she has so much industry knowledge! Couldn’t believe I recognised her from the tv! It’s really good to have an excellent drama school in the north as there are so few. My son really enjoys it. See photo of him getting a medal at his first show!

My Daughter has been at Meladrama Acting School now for a few months and absolutely loves it. Her confidence is flowing since joining these classes. Mel and Faye are absolutely brilliant! She started at the age of 4 and has flourished all thanks to these Ladies, honestly no better Acting School to send your Child to. They have fun, make new friends and learn so much not only for a potential future in Acting but also lessons for life.

My daughter has been part of the Meladrama family for 8 years and absolutely loves it. Meladrama offers children a wide range of drama related experience depending on what the child wants to achieve. My daughters confidence has gone from strength to strength with support from the Meladrana team. I would definitely recommend Meladrama for children who want to gain drama experience or need to build confidence/resilience skills or simply want to have fun, meet new friends and be part of a lovely drama family.

My son is passionate about drama, it’s all he wants to do. He has autism and isn’t always comfortable in his surroundings, but Mel and her team provide an inclusive environment for him to learn and enjoy! Mel has been super supportive and helped us when we have needed extra assistance when other establishments have let us down. Can’t recommend Meladrama enough.

Fabulous acting school! I attended classes my self from an early age up till I was 17 and now my little boy goes...he's just done his 1st show with Mel and I was blown away with just how confident he was at only 4 years old. Meladrama is a family run business and they put the kids wellbeing 1st it's so refreshing. He always comes away from classes with a massive smile on his face.

My daughter has been going just a short while but I am so impressed. She had her first Christmas performance and I could not believe the confidence. She is only 6 and she was fully acting on stage. To be honest I was blown away by all the children who performed. They were all fantastic. It’s like a little family and you can just tell the children are having so much fun but learning and growing in so many ways. I’m so grateful we found such an amazing drama school. It was recommended by a friend and I would now certainly recommend to anyone.

What can I say? My son started Meladrama at the age of 12 and stayed until he was 18 and went to University; to study film and theatre (of course!) The teaching and support shown by the staff there is exemplary as they really go ‘above and beyond’ for their pupils. Mel is still on hand with support and advice for Alistair regarding his acting. He has been involved in two short films, one received a BAFTA! He’s also already had a television appearance and there’s another one in the pipeline. He really could not have done any of this without Meladrama. I highly recommend this drama school. I’m sure Alistair will be back as soon as he can.

My son (10) adores Meladrama and counts down the days until his next class.
It’s been so lovely to find an after school activity he enjoys so much!
This is a safe space where he really feels like he can be himself!
Thank you so much! X

I can’t thank Mel enough for everything. I joined Mel years ago when I was a teenager and I loved every single second of the classes, I learnt so much in the time I was with her! Then life got in the way and I had to leave :( However I sent her a simple message saying how much I loved the classes and she remembered me which was such a lovely feeling being welcomed back with Prestonian open arms! I’m now back and loving every class, they are even better now than when I was with her before! You learn a lot about acting and she gives great feedback to help improve yourself! In the first week I was back I already had a chance to meet casting directors so the opportunities really are endless at Mel@drama! 1000% recommend joining! X

I started with meladrama over lockdown doing zoom classes for something to do and the curiosity i had very quickly turned into a passion for acting. i’ve seen my confidence, technique and performances come on leaps and bounds since i started - mel, faye and all the team are amazing, putting so much effort into classes and providing so many amazing opportunities for all students, i couldn’t recommend anyone more!

My daughter is thriving her confidence is amazing and she always talks about her future and dreams and this as been a massive achievement and I don't think she ever could have had faith in herself if it wasn't for meladrama helping her

Mel and her team are fantastic.
They've done wonders with our child in building confidence, self awareness and enhancing acting skills all in a friendly environment.
Highly recommended 🙂🎭😀

Wonderful, professional classes for children of all ages. I have 2 children who attend the acting academy and the musical theatre academy and their confidence and self belief (from 2 previously very shy kids) is soaring.
Mel is absolutely amazing and I would highly recommend this x

My son loves his drama sessions at Meladrama Acting School and Agency. Mel is great with the kids, they have fun, make friends and learn lots too.

My son has come on in leaps and bounds with his confidence and social skills since being part of Meladrama. Highly recommended!

My 5 year old Granddaughter attends this School and absolutely loves it.. we watched her in a showcase before Christmas and I was very impressed with the Show and all the young actors and actresses!

Mel and Faye are both brilliant!!! They create a friendly environment and fun place to learn and grow as actors
