As some of my friends who read this blog know, I’m a DJ on Split Infinity Radio, an Internet-based radio station. It’s a lot of fun and I get to be “spinning the decks” for a few hours every week.

It’s also great practice for improv and vocal control, because when you talk live, you can’t go back and edit it. So it helps me reinforce quality of my audio from the start of the process.

Up until now I’ve been doing music-only sets; kind of what you might hear on the radio with a DJ announcing tracks and talking for a few minutes here and there.  Like I said, fun. Plus the listeners are pretty awesome people and unlike “over the air” radio you can chat with them while the show is going on.

However, next week I’ll be starting a 2-hour talk show called the Declarations of War Broadcast. It’s a show based around multiplayer and online gaming, as I’m kind of a gaming guy and enjoy PVP (player vs player) games. The show will feature interviews, panel discussions and listener call-ins via Skype- not a small undertaking by any means.

This is something I’m really looking forward to as a chance to improve my skills even more, as keeping a 2-hour talk show going will be a significant technical and vocal challenge.

I just completed a promo for the show and figured I’d share it with you all. Enjoy, and if you have any comments on it, let me know.
