Voice Morphing allows you to change the way other Residents hear your natural speaking voice when using voice chat in Second Life.
 
== How to preview a Voice Morph ==
You can preview what your own voice will sound like with any of the available Voice Morphs before you decide to subscribe to a Morph Pack:
# Choose '''Me > My Voice'''
# In the {{Win|Preview Voice Morphing}} window, click '''Record Sample'''
# Speak a sample phrase into your microphone
# In the {{Win|Preview Voice Morphing}} window, click '''Stop'''
# Click the name of a Voice Morph in the list to hear your sample phrase under the influence of that morph.

== How to get Voice Morphs ==
Voice morphs are available exclusively in themed Morph Packs.  You can subscribe to a Morph Pack in 30-day increments by paying a scripted vendor object inworld:
# Choose '''Me > My Voice'''
# In the {{Win|Preview Voice Morphing}} window, click '''Get Voice Morphing'''
# From your web browser, click '''Teleport to Voice Island''' and follow the provided SLurl to get to an instance of Voice Island.
# Find a Voice Morph vendor that contains a Voice Morph you like.  We strongly recommend that you preview each Voice Morph before purchasing.
# Click the vendor, then in the Pay Resident window, click the L$ amount to confirm the 30 day subscription

== Notes ==
* Each time you subscribe to a particular Morph Pack, you gain 30 days of access to the Voice Morphs in that pack.  Subscriptions are cumulative; if you subscribe to the same pack again before the expiration date, you do not lose any remaining days in your old subscription.  This allows you to "stack" subscriptions for longer periods of use before you need to return to Voice Island to re-subscribe.
* The Second Life Viewer notifies you 3 days before one of your Voice Packs expires, and offers you a link to a web page that can return you to Voice Island quickly.
* When you open the {{Win|Preview Voice Morphing}} window, you are disconnected from local voice chat until the window is closed.  Make sure you're not in the middle of a conversation when you start previewing Voice Morphs!
* For privacy reasons, there is no visual indicator to let other Residents know you are using a Voice Morph.  Similarly, there is no visual indicator to let ''you'' know that you're using a Voice Morph, so it's a good idea to make sure to double-check that your voice is situation-appropriate.
* When you subscribe to a new Morph Pack, the Voice Morphs it contains should become available immediately.  However, if you have Parcel Media disabled in your viewer, or if the vendor system is under heavy load, you may need to manually refresh your list of Voice Morphs by clicking [secondlife:///app/voice/effects/refresh secondlife:///app/voice/effects/refresh]. This link is also provided to you by the vendor object at the time of subscription for your convenience.
* You need to run Second Life Viewer 2.1.0 or later to transmit voice with Voice Morphing effects, but other Residents will be able to hear your Voice Morphs regardless of which viewer they are using.
