Need help setting up open mic night

[funkilicous]

Hello all and a wonderful day to all,

I want to dedicate a few hours on a certain day each month to a open mic night but not quite sure what preparations I need to do before I start one, ill list a few technical questions  below and you may IM me in game or answer here on the forums.

Do I need to buy a stream?

How would the talent access this stream?

Can I use local voice chat? Is there away to set it so I wont get griefers talking over the talent?

Just a few questions to start any help would be greatly appreciated

                                    Thanks

For speaking, voice is fine -- Lauren uses it regularly at her Tuesday show.  For music, you will want a stream.  Experienced performers supply their own strean, but they will expect to be paid.  I pay 5K lindens per hour. for open mic, you will probably have to provide the stream.

Good question... I've been to open mic nights and have wondered what needs to be done to accomplish it.  Perhaps you could go to some place that does it and ask the owner or manager.

By all means... let us know what you find out, if someone doesn't explain it here first.
