Change voice for Second Life with Voice Changer Software in VAD mode

User Rating: / 0PoorBest 

INTRODUCTION

The new version of AV Voice Changer Software has a Virtual Audio Driver (AVnex Virtual Audio Device) which works as a virtual audio & sound device. This device can be used with any VoIP application and Instant messengers for changing voice and/or recording in real-time. By setting AVnex Virtual Audio Device as the active audio driver for the microphone in those applications, you will be able to control your voice tone and speak the way you want.

In this tutorial, we demonstrate how to use the Voice Changer Software 7.0 for changing your voice in Second Life.

What is Second Life?

Second Life is a virtual world engineered by Linden Research, Inc, and opened to the public in 2003. Users of Second Life, who are known as “residents,” can interact with each other within the extensive framework of the virtual world. This framework is colloquially known as “the grid.” While Second Life garnered little public attention when it was first released, in 2006 and 2007 it began to attract major media attention, causing registration to skyrocket.

Requirements:

You should have a Second Life View installed and set up probably in your computer first. Check detailed information from its website.
