INTRODUCTION

In this tutorial, we demonstrate how to use the Voice Changer Software Diamond 7.0 (VCSD) 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.
