I've had a mic since October but I have never used it 'coz I think I'll sound strange.I mean,everybody else says that I have a normal voice,but,as far I'm from Greece,my English pronunciation(Englan or America) is not THAT good.

My point is,should I worry?I really want to chat but when I'm plannng to do so my face and hands get sweaty (You can lol @ this)

Thanks in advance

I wouldn't worry about it. What other people think doesn't matter. If they don't like how you sound f*** em. lol_AsasN_
I agree. I would add that most of the time you can't understand what people are saying online anyway so you should be just fine. Lol.

Don't worry about it.

No one cares about accents. People only get annoyed with little 7 year old kids that have ear piercing voices.

Hey, just be yourself and chat. We're all human with different backgrounds. Find some good friends that understand this and avoid the rude ones.

Don't worry about it man, your voice is only as normal as everybody elses. And besides, the only people who will bother to use mics will probably be those who want to discuss in game tactics etc.

Oh yea keep in mind that if you have the output in your headset people in your house can't hear their voices. A few times I screamed "behind you!" and scarred people walking into my room.

Dont worry about it, I once meet a girl with a super squeaky voice, it was so annoying and noone knew what she was talking about. If your voice doesnt sound like that then no worries, i dont think anyone else could sound that bad.

I hate when they adress me as mexican, Im not a f**** Mexican. Btw, I have that problem too, so I just speak when necessary, like in Warhawk, sometimes you really need support when storming or defending but the group is loafing around so I just try to rally them in the base.

Ive never heard of that, I wish the people who sing like idiots and make racist comments would be worried to wear there mic, and not have people that want to play the game the right way worried about using a mic! Im assuming your not one of those people who do those anoying things, if you are, then dont use your mic, but if you wanna help work as a team then use your mic, and dont worry about it!

Nikos, there are people on there with the IQs of a hamster and barely speak proper english themselves despite being a citizen of North America (two english speaking countries) with english as their first language.

You've got nothing to worry about

I used to be afraid of my own voice. Not that I didn't pronounce things right, just that I was just afraid of what I sounded like. So I was pretty quite when I was small.

Now I'm the most obnoxious (spelling?) people with friends. Just keep talking and you'll gain your confidence :)

I was about the same. I was too nervous to talk because of how I thought I might sound over the mic. In my case, I used a mic for Vent while playing WoW. I had a part where I had to tank, so I pretty didn't have a choice but to chat over Vent for the fight to go well at all. After awhile, I built up enough confidence to chat with people.

Just do it. It'll be worst at first, but it'll get easier the more you talk. I wouldn't worry about your accent or anything. In my old guild, we had one person from Sweden, a guy from Scotland, and a couple French Canadians. The most I've seen happen so far is just a conversation get started up about where the speaker is from. Well, and one girl I played with drooled over every guy with an accent. :P
