Preferred Method of Communication
Whether it be Skype, text chat, Google hangouts or messenger pigeon do what you feel most comfortable with. This is meant to be easy so you shouldn’t have to go outside your comfort zone to make this work, although some things you can learn to love. Start off small and grow your confidence by dipping your toe in the water and realizing it is actually warm and pleasant. Now you should take into account what type of game you are playing. General rule of thumb is that the more intense and fast paced a game is the quicker the communication needs to be.
Another thing to consider is that when using voice over IP software it will help you to have a good quality headset. This doesn’t mean expensive because most headsets will have an adequate quality of mic but the price tag comes with the audio quality of the speakers. If you are using headphones/headsets when gaming anyway then it is a good thing to invest in.
