Press Release Body = Middleton, WI (7/11/07) - Screaming Bee LLC announces the
release of a series of add-ons that work with MorphVOX Pro, designed to bring custom
voice morphing to online worlds. Initially, the add-ons will be created with active
feedback from communities in Second Life. Screaming Bee is also offering voice
customization services for any user who needs a unique sound to their avatar or
online character.

"In order to meet the demands of each online community, it is important that we
provide voice content relevant not only to the genres, but to the individuals in
that world," explains Mark Ramirez, CEO for Screaming Bee. "Everyone has a unique
character or graphical avatar and therefore would benefit from a distinctive voice.
We are actively working with various individuals in these communities to create
voice morphing packages that will meet their specific needs."

First in the series, Furry Voices for Second Life, an add-on for MorphVOX Pro
software, can provide residents with voices to match animal avatars commonly seen in
the 3D virtual world. The animal voices in this add-on include Cat, Fox, Squirrel
and more. The content for this voice pack was designed and developed with
significant input from members of Luskwood Creatures in Second Life.

Not only is Screaming Bee offering community-specific add-ons, but also voice
customization services. Any person can request to have a voice uniquely designed to
fit with their online character. This service is available on the Screaming Bee
website and in-world where voice chat is enabled.
