To Voice or not to Voice

With blatant disregard for the niceties of language the two Voice camps are labelled “Augmentationists” and “Immersionists”.

Immersionists are those who want to live a parallel Second Life completely separated from RL while augmentists are those who want to use Second Life as a means to enhance their RL.

I don’t have anything against immersionists refusing to use Voice nor do I believe personal revelation is a marker of authenticity.

Ultimately, this is about intimacy — how much of ourselves we’re willing to give away to stranger

So who cares? If you don’t like it, don’t use it.

There’s always voice morphing software. Over at Screaming Bee you can get some delightful Furry voices.
