I networked with a London college for dramatic art and asked if their students would be happy to participate in a table read. More than happy to help. Try colleges, they'll have young actors only too keen to put their skill to work!
I appreciate your inquiry about finding a place to get your script table read; it's crucial for screenwriters to receive feedback and refine their work. Similarly, students often seek assistance to enhance their academic writing skills. As screenwriter, I love to benefit from feedback and resources as https://www.jpost.com/special-content/top-5-essay-writing-services-unloc... that provide invaluable support to students, ensuring they have the tools they need to excel in their academic endeavors. These scenarios emphasize the importance of seeking assistance and resources to achieve success, whether in the world of screenwriting or academics.
Easy to organize yourself. PAY actors and someone to record it. Would be nice to FEED them too. And not just pizza. Actually feed them. Do not be one of the performers or run camera. Focus your attention on taking notes and absorbing the read.
It is certainly a good alternative to hire someone to write. And I don't see it as something that would be too hard on a student. You can read more in Startup.info article and it will give you an opportunity to devote time to more important tasks. And it will definitely have a positive result.
I've directed table reads for some of my scripts. They're fun. I did one in my living room with actors I knew personally and I made dinner for them. I also rented a theatre once and got actors from Backstage Magazine, held auditions and everything. We had an evening where all the actors could invite their friends, family, managers, or potential representation, and we did a whole evening of it. The suggestions above are great. A virtual one would probably be the easiest, but theatre students at a local college would be great.
There's also ScriptMatix. For a fee, they'll have an AI reading of your script. I think they'll even have people moving around, playing the parts and everything. It's a few hundred bucks.
Contact your local actors group tell them you'll bring them a large cheese pizza or Panera and you want them do a table read. Then ask to film it if you'd like. And no I am not kidding. I did this..
I'd suggest you get a few people to read your script individually and give you feedback before arranging a table read so you can decide whether to rewrite it or not before a table read. Joining a screenwriting evening class which you can do now via Zoom is always a hit and miss venture but you can make informal contacts and the class usually workshops some pages of work. There is a Script Hive Discord group which regularly does table reads.

Have you thought about looking for volunteers at a local theatre group? Perhaps a school or university?

You can also recruit friends for your table read.

You could put together a virtual table read with actors on Stage 32, Zorrawa Jefferson. Like Nathan Waire did (www.stage32.com/blog/stage-32-community-brings-project-to-life-over-zoom...).
