One day only send a message to the people who want to waste YOUR time because they can and you'll let them.

Just F***ing Pick One Day will be for people who can't be bothered to listen to good demos or ask an agent to suggest a VO, or agents who will not say "listen to Dave".

In the US, don't audition for a fee of less than $1,000
In the UK make it £750.

Do it.

Just for one day.

Signal to market - Please do not waste my time for less than a weeks pay.

An audition is for a job not a lottery ticket with a chance of winning a bag of groceries.

Great idea. While we're at it, why not have March 22 be WHATSG Day.

(Where Have All of The Scriptwriters Gone).

There's a better chance of spotting a Pterodactyl than encountering a real one.

This idea has gained a great deal of traction amongst the Portgordon Voice Acting Community.

As for writer! What makes a scriptwriter now is ownership of a Mac or a PC or knowing someone who owns a mac or a PC.

Can we also have a FTLOGPHACE Day?
(For The Love Of God Please Hire A Copy Editor)
That would be super helpful.
Once-weekly apple pie delivery would also be helpful.

Aha! A person steps forward to be our linguist!

What do you call such a day... when it is a double-strength dose of what you just described?
