[dragontie751]

is it possible to speak to my avatar......

[Rolig Loon]

You ARE your avatar, so you can always speak to yourself.  :smileyhappy:

Hello dragontie and welcome to SL Forums. Can you describe how exactly you want or you think that is possible to speak to your avatar? You can edit your post (options --> edit).

If you would like to speak to your avatar, you must download a viewer and log in. Your avatar will be there and open to communication.

If you would care to speak through your avatar, you will want to enable voice. Here is the frequently asked questions page:

In addition to Rolig's answer, when there is a lot of lag and it's almost impossible walk or fly, many times I speak to my avatar: "come on, come on, come on!!!"

Only a joke, sorry .)

It's what Rolig said.  You ARE your avatar.  You don't speak to her, you speak to OTHER avatars.  Otherwise, you are muttering to yourself.

There are many ways to speak and communicate in Second Life.  For people nearby, there is local text chat, and local voice chat.  For those far away, you can send text IMs or voice calls (sort of like using Skype).  You can speak to entire groups with a group IM or voice call.  You can create a Notecard and send it to another avatar, or send it to a group.

If you are really smart with software, you can create an avatar driven by a software AI program, and speak to them.  Do a google search on HAL chatbot.  But that is a very advanced topic...I suggest you explore Second Life for a few days or weeks first.

I wonder if dragontie is talking about the "/me" command ?

[Faubio Alter]

In a gentle but firm voice. Well certainly it is possible to speak to them but no yelling at them. :smileytongue:
