Astral Audio Extra: Episode 10 (Right click, download,, and experience.)
An odd title for an episode eh? Trust me, I do have a reason for it. I have tried with each audio presentation to bring to you something that engaged me emotionally in some way. Even the themed ones have had something in them that struck a chord. So when I read a blog post regarding a contest that wanted people to write about such experiences, I became excited. The post discussed the wave of celebrities that have been populating Twitter as of late; most not caring to interact with people but to rack up a number of followers. While I could easily slip into a diatribe, I will instead take a different approach and highlight someone on Twitter who has used the given medium for what it is; a method of interaction between interested parties who follow each other. The band Collective Soul has broken the mold and remembers through each reply given or picture posted that it is thanks to their loyal fans that they are popular. So I did as that blog post instructed and followed @collective_soul, sent a direct message, and thus, the seeds for the podcast episode were planted. Read more

So the day we have been waiting for has arrived. You can head to your local book outlet and purchase a copy of a book that’s “… not just a book; it’s an experience.” Still not amped up? Then check this out.
So go for it and buy yourself several copies of Personel Effects: Dark Art.
Never mind the fact that our Future Dark Overlord™ does have a middle name or the fact that Tabz is Mur’s sister in Nocturnal, these are the two you chose. Both have loyal cult followings so I expect, (dare I say practically demand), a huge voting turn out. 65 votes were cast in the previous poll, and to those who voted or got the word out, my sincerest thanks; you are needed once again. I also ask that other nominees or bloggers would take it upon themselves to blog about this poll; it is a chance for you to tell your readers why each candidate is worth consideration.
You will decide the fate of one of our nominated participants. In return, they will have to endure time in front of a microphone, they will talk to an object that doesn’t move and to no one in particular, they will look for a way out and find none, and they will be answering questions hand-picked from Astral Audio Productions members and you, the fans. (Hey, at least there will be cool music to go along with the stream of information they unleash upon us all.)
If you are asking yourself, “Why do we have to vote again?” My response is this: Tabz edged out Scott Sigler by four votes; not only that, but neither one got a true majority. In US elections, a winner is declared if someone obtains over 50% of the votes cast. Needless to say, that is why I knew that another poll was required. So enough of my build up, and as Mills Lane would say, “Let’s get it on!”

Astral Audio Productions will be releasing a new behind the scenes interview series, and I’d like you to decide who we feature first by voting in our latest poll. The series will focus on some of the typical questions like, “What got you interested in podcasting/voice work?” “Who do you try to emulate?” “What do you have to tell for aspiring (insert related label here)?” Also, we will delve into their listening habits, the music that moves and motivates them, the shows they enjoy for fun, and more. It is a wide open field to start with. You can choose no more than two answers
. The top two vote-getters will move on in next week’s poll to determine who’s voice you want to go beyond.
Feel free to share this post on Facebook, through email, retweet it on Twitter, stumble it, etc. This poll will close next Sunday, and the next one will begin the following day. Good luck to all those involved, and don’t hesitate to ask your listeners/fans/followers to vote for you.
