I just had a phone audition for sneezing! That is definitely a first for me!

Would you call that "getting paid through the nose"?

Sometimes it's what the client wants ... sometimes it's not.

You have to have a nose for this kind of work....be able to sniff out the good leads from the bad....hopefully along the way you won't blow it.....if the client seems a bit stuffy....just suck it up and it will be much clearer to you....but you just have to realize that no matter how tickled you are about a lead, the client could still be a real drip.....however, a phone audition is nothing to sneeze at.

ROTFLMAO!! You all kill me....LOLOL I knew that would give y'all a tickle! I still don't know if I got the job - but I have to say after sneezing a dozen times I've got the cleanest sinuses in the state I'm sure! And plus now I know 2 very important things about myself - 1: Pepper up my nose does not make me sneeze, but it does hurt like heck!! 2: A blade of grass up my nose will make me sneeze.....personally, Of course after I was all done - teary eyed and burning nose - the guy says he's actually wanting a comical sneeze with a build up....well - hello! I'm an actress! Why didn't he just say that? I could have done that - convincingly mind you - witout the pepper or the grass! UGH! Clients...what can you do? Can't live with em....can't...well you know the rest.....  Tammy
