Barbara French, the esteemed managing director of the prestigious talent agency PrenelleCasting, hails from the North East of England, where her journey in the world of performing arts began. In 2002, she graduated with honors in Performing Arts from Sheffield University, setting the stage for a promising career in the entertainment industry.
Initially, Barbara's aspirations lay in the realm of acting, where she honed her craft by starring in numerous community plays, specializing in the nostalgic and evocative world of reminiscence theatre. However, she took a hiatus from her acting career to prioritize her family and start a family of her own.
Years later, in 2013, Barbara's entrepreneurial spirit led her to co-found PrenelleCasting, a talent agency that has since become a go-to destination for principal actors in TV, commercials, and theatre productions. The agency's impressive credits include notable projects such as Outlander, Woolfblood, and Harriets War.
Despite her busy schedule, Barbara still finds time to pursue her passion for acting, having recently wrapped up the lead role in a short film titled MAMMA. However, her true calling lies in the world of casting, where she has established herself as a respected and accomplished expert in her field.
