AWARD WINNING INDEPENDENT WRITER AND DIRECTOR
Sharon Sorrentino has been my Casting Director for a number of years assisting me with everything from off West End Theatre productions to short and feature films. She has a razor sharp knack for spotting new talent which goes hand in hand with her encyclopaedic knowledge of actors working today from leading men and women to a wide range of excellent character actors across all ages of the spectrum. She is hard working, friendly, approachable, diligent and collaborative in her approach to all things and is always my first port of call for casting any of my productions.

Once in a while you come across a casting director who really cares about the actor. This is my experience of Sharon. I have auditioned a couple of times for her for both drama and comedy roles. Her natural charm and positivity sets you at ease, which is important because auditioning can be overwhelming at times. Whilst we had fun in the auditions, Sharon knows exactly what she wants and is able to skilfully convey this and get the best out of the actor. I really got to see her incredible casting talents once the film was screened and subsequently went on to win 12 awards around the world and still counting! Sharon is a rare gem of a lady who genuinely wants to see you succeed and whose keen eye can turn productions into real gold.

Sharon Sorrentino - she has been nothing short of inspiring, warm and welcoming. I had one of the most fun and life inspiring auditions of my career with her in the room. She loves actors, she loves great work and she is a warm person. Definitely recommend!

Working with Sharon is an absolute joy. The quality of all the auditions that she has overseen has been remarkable, with a huge improvement compared with when we were not working together. She has a deep breadth of knowledge of performers and the industry and is a fantastic point of contact with agents and actors/actresses. She has also successfully cast two children's parts for us - understanding the large scope necessary to find the right kids and not stopping until the the roles were filled with youngsters we all loved. Sharon has become a key part of our production team, and we cannot imagine embarking on a project without her guidance.

Great session - most informative. Sharon has a love of actors and this really shone through. Great script to read and Sharon had analysed our profiles in great detail.
