25 August is the anniversary of Sean Connery's birth, so it stands to reason that should be the day upon which pretenders might imitate his voice for a day, adopting the airs and graces of the great man.
Equally, the following days may be given over to
January 8 - Elvis Presley
January
17 - James Earl Jones
April 3 - Eddie Murphy
April 9 - Paul Robeson
May 8 - David Attenborough
June 1 - Morgan Freeman
November 4 - Walter Cronkite
You get the idea. The basis of it is to select an internationally famous voice and imitate that person for the entire day.
Similar to Talk Like A Pirate Day, only different.

//Similar to Talk Like A Pirate Day, only different.// Unless of course, today just happens to be October 8th - Captain H. Barbossa day, November 16th - Captain Gene Eric O'Pirate day , November 26th - Long John Silver day or March 15th - Cap'n Ahab (OK, not strictly a pirate, but a salty sea-dog nonetheless) day. |

I'm holding out for Mexican Bandoleer'd Bandito day - I theeeenk! |
|

We don't need no steenkeeng Bandoleer'd Banditoes! |

When's Prof Stephen Hawking's day?
Might I suggest a slight corollary? Can we include famous books/stories/films too?
Midnight on 12th August could be War of the Worlds night (day), when people go about their normal business oblivious to the strange noises in the quarry, and after midday, they start panicking |
|
| |
Same day as Elvis Presley, believe it or not. |
|
| |
Oh! Thanks {Starts polishing (actually, I preffer poloshing) his wheelchair} |
|

It should be interesting, watching people combine the two. |

//Midnight on 12th August//
...is already a time of panic, when I realise it is precisely a month since I missed my wedding anniversary. |

Imagines [AWL]'s wheedling Fagin impression, as he tries to explain his oversight to his wife. |
|
| |
And then howling: "Not the face!" |
|
| |
Looking forward to the Day of the Triffids......No!, Wait!. |

I'm waiting for the anniversary of Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back
so I can do my Yoda voice all day. My Darth Vader Pins would sell
like wildfire, too. |
|

G-g-g-golden yearsh they were young jedi. |
|
| |
Trying not to imagine Sean Connery doing the voice of Yoda... failing. |
|
| |
Ha, or a Yoda Bond - "Expect me to talk do you, hmmm?" ! |
|
| |
Moneypenny, morning is, yes? |
|
| |
Bond would be able to show off his skills as a cunning linguist, no doubt. |
|
| |
I always found Wally Cox's voice sexy. It was so..., well...,
geeky. I think. |

|
| |
That's because it was David Bowie doing ... |
|
| |
Loving the Alien. How serendipity-ous. I read this idea,
and that tune just happens to be on my iTunes DJ list at
this very moment. |
|
| |
Baked, this is! YYyessss.... foreseen it, I have. That is, seen it
before
I have... or have I? Fine line this is, hmm? Get me wrong, you
must not. My bone that is, not! |
