Game Changers, Clubs in SL - p2 Club Hard Tails drive and can do our work with YouTube playing in the background; so therefore I believe we can talk and listen to the DJ and live singers without issue. We usually ask, “who wants in the call,” then have a big group call going while s ll listening to the singer. It is a Voice sim – if you don't like it you can mute Voice or go elsewhere. It works for us, but again it is all about making someone feel as if they belong. NVM: Roxy, by contrast, Hard Tails has “no VIP Voicing” during the shows and that works really well for your crowds enjoying you and the music. Why do you think both of these approaches can have success instead of one successful approach for all? 18 - Nu Vibez Magazine - January 2014 R OX Y: Some people like to converse a lot, but in a club, it's a distrac on. Success with Voice depends on the crowd and the DJ. All people are different and from different countries in here, so you have a diverse society. You'll have some who just come for Voice, and some for the music, but if you combine them, it may not work, as you cannot please both at same me. I think you have to specialize in VO I C E or M U S I C/C H AT. I wouldn't combine the two. NVM: This next ques on is for you all. Why is lag the last thing club owners factor into having a successful venue when it's probably one of the most important for repeat and new traffic? ROXY: Lag is important to me. You can have all the bells and whistles in the club and make it look amazing, but you wont get VIPs
