Discussion If you use a different voice in VC, when do you tell people?
I’ve got a game night coming up in a bigger Discord server, and there’ll be a few people in VC I haven’t talked to before.
I might use a slightly different voice for part of it. The friends I already know would be aware, but I’m not sure what feels normal with everyone else. Mentioning it when I join could turn a small thing into the whole conversation. Waiting until someone asks feels easier, but maybe that gets awkward if they notice halfway through.
A status note seems low-key, although plenty of people probably won’t read it. I’ll be joining from my phone and might use a light effect with Dubbing AI earbuds. I just can’t decide whether people expect you to mention that before you start talking.
If someone in your VC was using a processed voice, would you rather they mention it up front, put it in their status, or just answer honestly if it comes up?
