Sounds reasonable to me (at 9:45 after a 100+ degree day in an office with no air comnditioning)

So you're asking "Can I use the Augmentation table and act as a "fetish" - adding both a (single round) skill bonus *and* a number of AP equal to the augmentation? (I'm asking this because I had to read through the paragraph a couple times to make sure I got it).
Personally, I think this would be the result of a magical ability, rather than a mundane one. So if Bob had a "Big Voice" feat or spell I probably would allow it, but not if it was just his "Hearty Voice" mundane ability. I'd allow magic to bend the rules, but would rein in mundane abilities (just another way to seperate magic from mundane). Note: If Bob were an animist and had a real fetish that he tried to use for this I would probably *not* allow it - fetishes have to be touching the user (and sometimes the target). This is just my personal thoughts, not as the Editor.
