As a New Jersey native myself and a huge Attack of the Show (G4) fan, it has been very exciting following the career of Alison Haislip, the official Social Media Guru for all things The Voice.

Alison will be sharing exclusive interviews, video, photos, news about the coaches and artists, as well as live tweeting during the first season (and hopefully future seasons) of The Voice. Yesterday afternoon, the tables were turned on Alison as the blogosphere got a chance to interview her about all things The Voice. Check it out:

What are you anticipating learning about the coaches’ vocal style and coaching routine?
I’m really excited to witness their control. I truly think that’s what separates good performers from great performers: knowing how to contain and then when to just let go and go for it. I believe that is best thing these coaches are going to be able to convey to their artists, and I’m glad I’ll be there to watch!

What are you most looking forward to communicating with the world at large while the show is on?
What I’m most excited about is letting the people know that what they’re seeing is actually reality. This is isn’t one of those reality shows where it’s being overly produced or edited in a way to, you know, to make a story line better or anything like that. I have been told specifically that I am allowed to talk about anything that happens backstage, that happens in interviews…And I think that’s pretty incredible because I was entirely expecting to show up to set and having people be like, okay so this is how it really works. But we’re not going to let that out in public. We don’t want them to know that, you know. And it’s not like that at all.

Will The Voice incorporate any of the live tweets and such into the show?
That is what we are hoping to do when the shows go live in June. I will be setup in what they’re calling the Z room. The idea of the Z room is that the artists will perform live and then walk off stage and sit down with me. And I can give them the real-time updates of what people thought about their performance via Twitter or Facebook or whatever outlet they want to use.

And, you know, let’s say like, people really loved your song choice but they don’t know why you were wearing this. Or like people wish you had picked a country song instead of, you know, a rock song or something along those lines. So the artists are getting real-time updates.

And I think what we are hoping to do and like I said before this is all like a work in progress and experiment so we’re not quite sure how this is all really going to tie together yet. But what America thinks and, you know, tweets into us is something that could actually influence the coaches choices during the live show.

How difficult is it for you to switch off between, you know, The Voice and your work with G4?
Well, you know, thankfully G4 is a Comcast owned company and so NBC and G4 are now sister networks. So they were able to arrange their own scheduling with me. I believe when my press release went out I was considered the first piece of synergy between Comcast and NBC which I never knew I was going to grow up to be a buzz word but that was pretty cool.

So the networks have really been working it out together. And for me, personally, I am like a huge gamer geek and nerd and all that but I also had a really strong passion for music my whole life. I’ve grown up in music. So for me personally, the switch wasn’t that difficult because I was going from one subject matter that I cared about to another subject matter that I cared about. And was able to take, you know, all of my knowledge from G4 with me to The Voice and the whole social media aspect of it.

What’s been like your favorite moment working on the show?
That’s a good question. Okay, I will say that there is a moment in the battle rounds where Cee Lo has to make one of the toughest decisions we’ve seen on this show. And it’s at that moment when you realize how invested these coaches are in these artists. And while I can’t say anything more than that, it’s really a very beautiful moment to witness on TV. And that’s one of the moments that I’m really excited for America to see.

Do you think this kind of involving people in the show is going to open the door and start all these other reality shows doing this?
I really hope so. You know, I think we forget that like when reality TV started like, I don’t know what 10-15 years ago at this point maybe not even that long ago. But it was kind of true reality. And then I feel like, you know, the industry got its hands on it and turned it into fake reality. And so all of the sudden the reality shows are almost just as scripted as our, you know, non-reality shows.

So this show I’m hoping is going to hearken back to true reality. I mean it is a legitimate competition. And I think that that is specifically what my role is on this show is to let people know that. That that’s why we’re giving you so much access behind the scenes, and backstage stuff, and me blogging and tweeting about the show. Like everything is absolutely legit and I think Mark Burnett really wants to put that out there that this is reality.

Is The Voice anticipating any guest performers this season?
I can definitely confirm that there is at least one guest performance. And I think we’re all hoping for more when the live shows start up.

In a recent blog, you mentioned Cee-lo walking around with an X-box but no matter the console, what games would you like to beat him in?
I think I could destroy Cee Lo in some Mario Kart. Maybe I’ll have to bring my Wii to set one day.

It’s been about 4 months since your last AHF Vlog, can we expect a special edition vlog for The Voice?
Who knows?! I really only do vlogs when I have some downtime, and since I’m currently working on two networks now, that free time is rather non-existant. But you never know when the mood may strike me.

You mentioned your passion for music and you’ve said before that film is where you ultimately want to end up. So with the musical experience that you have in addition to all that you’ll learn on this show, are movie musicals something that you see in your future?
I’d love to do some movie musicals! I think that would be something of a dream for me because you get to just be big and ridiculous and have so much fun. I hope that’s in the cards soon…
