    Default Sound vs Text

    So I was perving on a few girls, and I noticed that some girls who have no sound still get a bunch of tokens. Personally, I find talking easier, however I'm not sure if it gets me more tokens than if I would just use text instead. What are your guys' opinions?

    Strange. How much are you considering a bunch? Because I personally have never seen a girl who uses no audio bank nor have I ever heard a girl say she is earning more now that she doesn't provide sound. If I was a customer, I probably wouldn't buy a show from a girl with no sound, since that's half of the whole cam show experience. Not saying you can't make money without sound, but choosing to use no audio when you have the option to, in my opinion, is a self inflicted death sentence to your earning potential.

    I stumbled into one with 980/1000 goal, and another one had met her 1200 goal. I don't know how long either had been on though.

    I can think of no logical reason a model would go out of her way to not verbally interact with guests in her room for the success of her business.

    I like Peaches response, although I don't 100% agree with the severity of consequence she spoke of regarding not using sound as a "death sentence". I spent a LOT of time with no sound, although keep this in mind: when I say "no sound", I HAD sound but I couldn't speak because I was still living with my parents - now that could mean a difference in the reliability of my answer. I am not sure how much exactly, as I've never cammed with my audio OFF entirely. When guys usually ask "have sound bb?" they would usually actually mean "can you talk bb?" But I still made at least enough to get me by. I have NEVER done terribly, but I absolutely make more money the more talkative I am.

    On MFC, I aim to talk constantly. I try to interact with everyone who types something, because that's how I'd like to be treated in a models' room. I make "eye contact" with the camera when I say "thank you" or blow kisses or say guys names. I do this because I am new, (and it's a fokken good idea if you're comfortable with doing it!), and I want to latch onto the attention of as many guys as I can and leave an impression on them. If you saw a SMOKIN' hot guy you were super attracted to, actually look into the cam "at you" (perhaps surprisingly, perhaps not surprisingly, looking into the camera can actually feel quite intimate, which is why there are still many girls who don't feel 100% comfortable looking deep into it) as he says your name and responds to something you had asked him, that can leave an impression.

    The girl you are referring to may be a top model with a solid, established fanbase, who doesn't necessarily need to go out of her way anymore to bust her ass talking to every guy like you or I may do. But having said that, keep in mind I am also new to MFC (which is a VERY different animal to the camming site I've been used to: Streamate), so take my words with a pinch of salt.

    Hehehe, I like your response too!
    What I mean't with the death sentence thing was just that you would be doing yourself a big disservice if you had audio and had nothing stopping you from using it, yet chose not to anyways.

    I'm comfy making custom vids and pics, but I want to ease into the camming a slowly as I can. So many horror stories have got me spooked.
    I've thought about camming without sound first, just to get used to guys (hopefully) bombarding me with requests.
    I know I'll get use to it, because I did the same thing with videos.
    Plus, I live in an apartment with SUPER thin walls. I can't be too loud at 1am anyway lol

    I only know of one girl who does very well without using audio, but she's also been on her site for years so she has built up many regs, I am sure. Wait, no, I know one other girl but she's in a very low-competition niche. Even if you can't talk loudly I think being quiet but offering sound is a far better option that text only. Unless you have ridiculous background noise or something that might be a turn off, guys really do want to hear your voice.

    You can also play up the whole "My parents are home, I have to be quiet" angle, if you're young enough to pull it off. Use audio, but whisper. Guys LOVE that. I once had a druggie neighbor knock on my door for like 10 minutes when I was on cam, I didn't log out but I told my guys we had to be very quiet because I didn't want my neighbor to know I was home. Whenever they would tip I'd be like, "Shhh that's too loud, you're gonna get me in trouble!" Which led to a tipping spree. Man, I made so much that night just because the guys thought it was awesome that I had to cam in secret. I don't know if that strategy would work as an every day thing but it definitely helped that night!

    I didn't use sound for my first week camming, because like you heraax, I wanted to ease myself into it. I did make some money, but once I got over the nervousness of being on cam, I started using sound. And my money went waaaay up. Also, when I see girls not using sound on SM, it always makes me think of the bots/video recordings of girls.... Not great for business. But that's just my experience!

    I have only been camming for a month. I have seen many big earners not using sound, however it seems most of them do not speak English or do not speak it as a first language. Though, I have also seen the "quiet" cams that are girls or groups that promise a lot at goal then log out all of a sudden. :/
    The worst they can say is no.

    Sound will always be superior by far. Majority of big earner who do NOT use sound, started off by using sound first and then got lazy and stopped.

    A lot of girls on Adultwork don't use audio in free preview or in group. When I switched to text in free preview I suddenly got guys coming into group so they can hear me. Guys get off on hearing our voices.
