Hi all,
This scam is still alive and kicking. I just got off the phone with a guy calling himself David Cohn from Central Casting. As soon as he mentioned the sneeze, I knew he was a perv.

I told him I would have to call him back.

Beware! Creeps are everywhere.

A guy called me today on my cell phone with the “sneeze audition” story. Sounded fishy from the get go but I played along for a bit until he wanted me to twist the end of a tissue and then put it up my nose in order to tickle it and make me sneeze. I told him I was driving (which I was) and that I did not want to sneeze while driving…

Hi!
Sorry I was delayed in my reply. Yes, this nonsense has been going on for quite a while.
As a follow up, to add to the confusion, there is a legitimate Lang(e) Agency based in Las Vegas run by former Los Angeles agent, Linda Lange. I’ve heard she is very familiar with this scam and is really annoyed at how long it’s gone on.

Thank you for acknowledging what is a very important issue for female voiceover talent.

All The Best,
Bobbin Beam
