Daily reminder that you should be rigging rather than streaming.
Then you can stream yourself rigging and everyone will be your friend.

It's not even about you being "useless" man, it's about you spreading sadness. You want to be an entertainer, right? Do you follow any entertainers that use their social media like this?

>>20781332
How do I rig?

When did "watch streams" get replaced with "start tweeting"

>>Twitch or YouTube?
>The general rule of thumb is Twitch if your content is primarily based on livestreaming and YouTube if your content is primarily pre-recorded and edited.
My content is primarily pre-recorded (song covers and voice-acting shitposts) so I've been posting all of it onto Youtube, but I want to start streaming, too. Should I start on Twitch (which seems better for streamers) or Youtube (where most of my fans already are)?

>>20784951
If I didn't do chuubing, i wouldn't be on social media at all. But from the people i follow, yeah its full of mental health posting and it's awful. That's why i at least stopped doing it on twitter. It's not like /asp/ is going to generate me any viewers, so I'm abusing you guys a lil. (sorry, i still love you) I've been forcing myself to post only a little here and this is kinda my neutral mode, if I'm sad I'm actually becoming insufferable. I'll have to properly act like a mint worshipper and start spreading positivity more like her, i just wished it came more natural to me.

>>20786631
Depends do you want to expending your fanbase.

>>20786631
You can do both at the same time.

>>20786793
Don't even frame this as if you're worshipping someone else by spreading positivity. Spreading positivity is a good thing! It's infectious! You do good for other people by spreading positivity and encouraging them to be positive.
If you don't have anyone close to you that you can confide in (or a therapist), you should seriously go to places on the internet designated specifically for venting to do so. The people reading those places read them because they are ready to listen. Go to /adv/ or any of the numerous subreddits devoted to venting.
I'm not trying to insult you or anything here, but your chuuba persona probably isn't really the place for it.

Reminder that babis can add "male" tag in Twitch if you don't want "lying" someone to click in your channel(ignore this if you don't care).

>>20786252
Is that a reference?

>>20788802
Not that I know, just a weird noise I thought of.

>>20787234
i dont want to shid up the thread more but i do want to thank you. people always say 4chins is mean people only, but whether or not anyone cares i kinda like this thread. you guys are nice.

i really regret my model and rigs appearance. idk. it makes me sad to think about
i wish i'd had more $ at the time to commission something of higher quality
i don't hate what i have but it's definitely uninspired and wasn't exactly what i wanted when i first envisioned it. it's just sad
there's so many things id do differently knowing what i know now and i still don't even know much..whatever
pointless to think about now i guess

>>20789687
This is a fear i have. I have been constantly searching for artists on twiter, vtuber.gg, etc to try and find the tiny strike zone of good yet affordable

>>20786631
Both if you have an existing following on Youtube, until your Twitch viewership becomes high enough (20s-30 CCV monthly CCV)sto focus on it as the main one and then urge your YT viewers to move over by quickly lowering the amount so you get get affiliate. There's simply more audience on Twitch.

>>20789559
you are being groomed

did a mock up of an avatar i might want to use. i cant think of any non chibi design that would fit my voice.

i used to have a gimmick where i push a revolver against my head like that dude in smiling friends but apparently self harm is against TOS and bannable even tho i love the gimmick or donos or whatever blowing my head off

>>20792118
how?

>>20792466
>i used to have a gimmick where i push a revolver against my head like that dude in smiling friends but apparently self harm is against TOS and bannable even tho i love the gimmick or donos or whatever blowing my head off
sounds crinch to me, but I don't know your audience

>>20792796

>>1536411
it's a been a year anon... have you done any reps at all?

>>20793399
i realize you may not know how to archives

>>20793399
yeah i was about to say, i remember seeing this png so long ago and thinking the gun concept was still incredibly edgy back then
i'm sure there's some people out there who find humor in that though but overall it comes off as too tryhard to me

>>20793228
I will help you out here anon: it's not very funny. You sound 16 years old

Why are there so many bad riggers pretending to be skilled making "fancy" rigging like extreme angles and other stuff when they have 0 knowledge of art, perspective, etc. I've seen so many pretty models get ruined by shit rigging where it doesn't even look like the artist style anymore or people praising rigs moving like jello seaweed as god tier rigging.

The only decent indie riggers are all artists but they don't get commissioned as much as the shitty ones. People are going to look at the bust up 99% of the time so shouldn't that be the most important thing to get right?

>>20793399
i just spit balled that idea out and forgot about it, i've been doing reps on some painting and shit like pic related. with the proven success of males in nijien and holostars auditions i think i might actually use some of my skills to give this a fair shot instead of toying with the idea

i got fired today.
if i were to start from scratch, how fast could i be streaming for crumbs? i've always wanted to start choobing but i really haven't had time/a reason until now.

>>20793620
i mean theres a whole adult animation industry built on shit like this and shit like meat canyon is wildly popular, you sure you aren't looking at the bigger picture?

What from and why?

>>20794518
aw man you broke character so quickly

>>20793721
If you're not already making money off this kind of art quality then you're terrible at just basic selling yourself (forget marketing) and never, ever, gonna make it.

Just saw a character design that I want to hijack so bad, I've never seen a concept like this before. How obvious would it be if I had the same sort of concept. The other dude's account is small.

>>20795066
let me guess, it's a character with a tv for a head

>>20795222
Holy crap, how did you know?

>>20795222
I had a good laugh. It's a wandering monk, I haven't seen many, if any. Me want. Ooga ooga

>>20794735
you arent wrong but i have been autisticaly trying to nail down a markttable art style before even thinking about making money from it. i am making an effort to try to get a following but its a bit harder if you dont do fotm meme waifus or porn

>>20787473
Still not sure whether to be generic green haired girl or knight chad

For singing aspies, Enna Alouette's new song can be a quick cover to make

>>20796025
A generic green haired kinght

>>20789687
I'm nervous about it as well. My design should be done soon. I'm torn between spending the $ on a good one & just getting a mediocre one since chances are I won't ever be big anyways so it's hard to justify dumping a lot of $ into the model/rigging. I'm thinking I'll set a budget around $2k total & hope for the best.

>>20789687
I regretted my first model but I recently invested in a high quality model drawn by my favorite artist. just stream with it for now as a temporary model and once you got the funds get something fancy.

>>20795066
>How obvious would it be if I had the same sort of concept.
Does it matter? Just do it better than them

>>20789559
did an archive dive for your twitch and you sound stereotypical german. hast du vor in deutsch zu streamen?

Are there any vtubers that focus more on like, their lore or backstory, that sort of thing? I'm mean every vtuber obviously plays a character of some sort but do any focus on that aspect more and do like worldbuilding or more in-character roleplaying type videos? That's kinda what I wanted to focus on a bit once I got into it myself. Like I want to of course stream and play vidya and stuff, but I'd also like to kinda of build a story around my avatar, flesh it out with scripted story segments and such.

>>20797973
in the nicest way possible that sounds unbearably boring but I hope you find an audience that will enjoy that

>>20797973
>Are there any vtubers that focus more on like, their lore or backstory, that sort of thing?
yeah but they never have viewers no one knows who they are

>>20797973
I'm not sure that's what the average vtuber viewer is really looking for, especially when it comes to streams. That sounds more suited to scripted, edited YouTube content. Even then I don't think "I'm my OC and I'm going to talk about myself" is really going to draw anybody in.
Would you watch something like this and if so, do you think you could recommend it to anyone else in good faith?

>>20797973
Don't talk about lore here you're just asking for the /asp/ regulars to dog on you.

But just like Hiiragi Yu said, no one cares about your lore other than you, so focus on other shit first

>>20789687
>seen favorite vtuber get scammed out of over $2000, then spend another one or two thousand for a 2nd model and now almost $5000 for her third model and now she's considering her 4th model and has only had her new model for a few months.
Please please PLEASE be responsible with your money.

>>20798313
who?

>>20798034
I hope so too

>>20798126
Yeah, I wouldn't do that in a stream. That's just forcing a D&D campaign on people who didn't come to play D&D. That would be youtube content for sure. I would watch something like that, but that's because it's specifically something I enjoy.

Has either company started looking at auditions yet or are they still sitting on applications?

>>20798398
Not gonna name drop my oshi in this shithole.

>>20797729
I don't think I could. That's why I'm asking. They've got the ikemen shit down to a science too, like I couldn't see this type of character looking any other way. Think I could buy the character rights off of them? Is that a thing people do in the chuuba community?

>>20798499
is your oshi a 2view?

>>20797973
Active? None I can think of off the top of my head. Spacer haywire literally announced his retirement/indefinite hiatus through an in character lore video on YouTube. It was okay, I hate vtuber lore but I thought it was worth a watch.

>>20798598
she regularly hits 300 views

>>20798629
>Spacer haywire literally announced his retirement/indefinite hiatus through an in character lore video on YouTube. It was okay, I hate vtuber lore but I thought it was worth a watch.
I am literally laughing out loud

>>20798476
They've already started looking at and calling interviews well over a week ago.

>>20798313
how did they get scammed?

>>20798971
It was some serial scammer that managed to scam a few other ppl. They'd ask you to send money to their family member, pretend to work on the commission then ghost or delete all their socials and pop up a year later to repeat.

>>20800122
You know, for as many views as some of those viral videos can get, there isn't a lot of evidence that they convert into stream views or donations, and not very many even bother subscribing on other platforms. For the most part, the TikTok audience doesn't seem to be that interested in live streams.
If you still want to increase your reach cross-platform anyway (and hey, any momentum is good), I don't think it's too late to jump on the TikTok bandwagon. Just gotta keep the videos short and punchy. Girl_dm is a good example of how not to waste time and just get to the content

>>20799790
Is it bad to submit near the deadline

>>20799790
How much does perceived model quality/cost correlate to initial hype or success?

>>20799790
how insistent are corpos about making sure talents are getting along? i imagine this is a high priority but im curious how far they'll go if there's any major friction behind the scenes

>>20797861
you can redeem channel points to have me speak german for a minute but i don't plan to do german streams i like talking in english. I'd like to maybe adjust my accent to not sound like that but people say its nice or dont mind so i guess i dont care enough

>>20800888
You won't get judged for being a procrastinator or anything, if that's what you're worried about. Everyone in this fucking industry is, seems like. The only real danger is if there are some banger applications that are reviewed ahead of you, some reviewers might have them locked into a role and judge yours more harshly against them, if that makes sense? But a professional agency would judge each application fairly, no matter when it's submitted
>>20800918
Well obviously if you have a Holomama or papa, you can lean into that predebut to generate easy hype. Cost isn't that important though. Or I should say, there isn't always a correlation between cost and quality. There are some god-tier unknown riggers and artists with great commission rates if you look hard enough. But quality art and rigging does factor heavily into audience growth
>>20800985
It heavily varies between agencies. Some specifically scout or judge applications based on how well they think everyone will get along (as well as individual talent), and others don't give a shit. If you really look hard enough, it's pretty obvious which ones care and which ones don't

>>20799790
Do corpos actually have a strategy on what they want to do and how they would do it in the next 5 years?
Is niji the only one going down that blind shotgun approach, hope something would stick, and cut things that are not profitable? Or are they all the same?

>>20793228
smiling friends is funny but you're just stealing the bit because you're not funny on your own

>>20794549
i made chips for intel. i got tired of working 12 hour night shifts, so i'd skip work.

>>20795977
Fuck I've spoken in real life to so many artists like you and it's fucking infuriating.
When are you going to get a grip retard and realize 'muh artstyle' is just as much a cope and excuse as anything else?

I've told artists who produce good art that they already have a marketable skill in talks with them, and it's always "it's not even good."
The point isn't even to be good. It's to be good enough and humble enough, to do something beneath you.
There's tons of dipshits out there who can sketch out the entire linework of something finished, or who can make it a unique style, who don't, because they're coping they do bad work, or they want to establish something.

You establish a style by putting it out into the world.
It doesn't have to be FULLY PRODUCED to be GOOD or even MARKETABLE.

You want an idea spoonfed to you retard?
Mecha-moe tank girls 4koma. If some retard can do it with jet-girls, then you can as well. There's a massive gap there in the market, it has people who can fill it. It just needs one person to believe they can be it.

Overall my point is, you can start producing right now, you have literally nothing to lose, and everything to gain and with your skills, it shouldn't take nearly as much effort or time as other forms of produced content if you're doing things that are barely above the fundamentals of your skill.
Simplified, black and white koma, with artistic choices of your discretion should be piss easy. Not to mention digital art (especially in an obviously sequential or serialized format) is the most piss easy thing to market. You can literally just upload the image anywhere with a tag to your twitter anywhere and nobody will be able to even connect it to self-advertising.

Just fucking do bitch.

>>20801589
Some do have long-term plans. Most of them aren't great and are based on loose predictions of a fairly new medium, but it's better than others who just threw money at artists because they have disposable income and think they can be just like Yagoo. That's surprisingly common and it's a great idea to ask about a long-term plan in interviews.
Niji seems to be the only one taking the spray-and-pray approach to debuts, but it makes business sense. They really only need a couple breakout talents to recoup their total investment, and with the power of their brand, that's a guarantee. Sucks to be one of the ones that doesn't get huge (picrel), but hey, at least you get autonomy since they don't give a fuck what you do in 2view hell.

>>20799790
Based off tiktok question, how true is the parroted thing about not growing on twitch, really?
It seems to me like people move on to streams only when clips and videos are all part of a niche/online community, if that makes sense, not when they are just random gameplay moments

>>20801562
Do you think they would even consider someone with no internet presence?

>>20799790
Other social media question, is twitter going to be the biggest avenue for growth for any small chuuba, whether that is from Networking with larger chuubas or from being funny (or making some other type of traction generating content) on the site?

>>20802032
NTA, but you've given me some motivation to plan shit out and just do it.
Gonna stream tomorrow, thanks anon.

>>20800122
conversion rates(people clicking your links to other channels) can range from 0.5% all the way up to 10%, but the average is usually around 2 to 5%.

>>20803205
NTA, but no. Twitter growth is really hard as a beginner. It’s easier when you have 1k followers, but your first 100 will be people you know from elsewhere. Discords are easier to meet people in. If you’re antisocial, then go into tiktok/YouTube and roll the dice until your first 10 viewers stick

>>20801794
Do they really eat that much at intel?

>>20802518
Here's the thing about Twitch: networking is EVERYTHING. I just counted and there are 171 streams with the VTuber tag on Twitch right now with only 1 viewer. The Twitch market is saturated to hell right now, to the point where just having a rigged model and going live isn't enough to get people to watch. The best viewers you could ever have in your audience are other VTubers. Don't be an autistic loner and just talk to them on social media or in their streams. Build friendships. Help each other, because this industry can be ruthless
>>20802858
It makes it harder to judge your personality, but it's not a dealbreaker. Ideally, one of the responsibilities of your manager is to help you maintain an online presence, so you won't be alone in that. But be aware that maintaining an online presence is a constant fucking grind. You literally cannot take a day off from it if you want to do it right, and agencies want someone who will do it right. It might take some convincing to make them believe you can do that, especially if you're in the running against someone with a proven track record.
>>20803205
Twitter is the most important tool you can have for networking with other VTubers, which is great because it's so fucking easy to use. >>20803571 is correct about number growth though. If you're just worried about numbers, there's a lot of other grinding and luck involved on Twitter (its algorithm can be abused just like YouTube's, but it's still a fickle thing), but if you're looking to reach out and make friends, it's way easier than most people think. But most people are too scared to try in the first place

>>20803993
I want to counterbalance though. There is a bare minimum that is interesting. If your model design and your channel design are not generic gamerbro/lo-fi anime kinda vibe, that may still get people to click.
What I’m saying is, just a model is not enough, but a good looking channel still attracts people if they see it.
It helps to screenshot your own thumbnail and check it against twitch search results to see if it’s eye catching.

>Eye tracking is fucked by my glasses
Didn't expect that one. Are frameless good at fixing that or will I just have to live with slightly scuffed eyes? Contacts probably won't be a good idea since I'll be staring at a screen for hours

>>20804576
if you have contacts just use contacts.

>>20804576
my eye tracking is fine and I have glasses with a thick frame. what software/ webcam do you use?

>>20801794

>>20774615
This one?
https://archive.wakarimasen.moe/vt/thread/20298248/#20322102

I'm glad someone liked it!

>>20804502
Oh for sure. Almost all of those literal 1view channels look incredibly low quality. Which hey, if this is their first time ever streaming and they just want experience, more power to them. Just getting to that point is hard enough. But if you're actually looking to build an audience, it's almost completely impossible to get off the ground now with subpar visuals, even if your content is interesting

goodnight /asp/

>>20803571
>>20803993
Are there any discords or anything that are recommended to join & network as a beginner, or is it just a crapshoot with watching other small chuubas, talking in chat, and seeing who you hit it off with?

im going to act mentally retarded for my first 20 streams

>>20804799
Ah, turns out the issue is with those glasses. I think they have some shitty blue light filter on them because it was completely reflecting my screen and blocking my eyes. Found a new pair that doesn't have them and my tracking works fine

>>20805148
Join discords of smaller chuubas. Basically, if you are at 0-5 viewers, you need to make friends and have those friends watch you. So approach it with this mentality! Find people to play with. Meme in the chuuba meme channel, discuss stuff. Larger chuuba discords can work too if you take root in a specific channel. “General” live2d/envtuber discords suck ass

Tldr: find a <1k follow chuuba you like, jump in their discord, make friends. Then, tell them to come to your stream for you.

Car anon, are you still here?

Any ideas what an apparently 'nice voice' can do? Particularly a deep one.
I'm experimenting a lot with YouTube, I've gained a ton of valuable insight, but, I'd like to do more regular content (especially with low production) on a new channel, but I'm out of ideas.
Best idea I came up with was take a stab at doing 100 creepypasta reading videos and seeing what happens. It's what I'll add next now I've finished some other things and started others, but I'm wondering if there's any niches that I can ride at the moment?

I'm fuming and seething in all honesty.

>>20805835
>Any ideas what an apparently 'nice voice' can do? Particularly a deep one.
take a look at everything Vox is doing and just copy that. his "ASMR" streams, his past life's voice acting fandom streams, etc.
>Best idea I came up with was take a stab at doing 100 creepypasta reading videos and seeing what happens.
realistically you do 3 of them and if the numbers aren't either stable or rising after the 3rd, you do something else. don't be retarded.
>I'm wondering if there's any niches that I can ride at the moment?
if you actually have a deep voice the biggest niche is positive vibes and encouragement scenarios.

¡Hola! Estoy interesado en ser un personaje de vtuber que es un niño fantasma arrogante pero lindo. ¿Puedes darme alguna crítica de mi diseño?

>>20806120
is this vroid? why do these models look all so crunchy, isn't there like an option to smoothen out the edges?

>>20806244
it's Spooki from the trashcan. a schizo chuuba who averaged 8-10 viewers for the last year and a half whose only claim to fame is that he got several retweets on a tweet where he got made that VShojo only watched his audition tape for a couple of seconds. don't engage with him. he and his discord are fucking schizoids.

>>20806244
Jajajajaja. Me gusta "crunchy" golosinas.

>>20806244
This is a meme of another chuuba.

But vroid crunchiness depends on what you use to render it. Vseeface can be configured to not look like shit if you put the time in.

>>20805097
What if it's a high quality png? Something with real art skill put into it

>>20806381
>meme
me gusta mememe!
esa señora es tan sexy!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1Tl2VKR874

>>20806417
If the content is good enough to back it up, it's possible. But starting from scratch with just a png is a lot harder than having a moving model. It's just not as engaging to interact with

>>20806417
>>20806668
This is not to discourage you from starting with a png or saying that those who pngtube are bad, but a moving model is indeed more fun to look at for the viewer. Just don’t let that stop you, and don’t think that’s the #1 problem

>>20806668
>>20806746
Aye, thank you

>>20806417
are you planning on drawing it or commissioning it? if you draw then picking up live2D and doing your own rigging is pretty easy

are there any other vtubers that have the same model but with different ages, like Gato bebe? i want to make a loli model but also keep the hag model

If that's a boy then I'm a girl.

>Mom won't stop blasting the /x/ tier youtube christian tin foil hat theories.
Go on without me bros...

>>20807873
Damn twitch sure have loads of tags.

is there a way to make vroid models not look shit?
i've been looking at them online and even the highest quality ones have some ugly outline or filter or something

>>20808060
If I heard that shit in the background of a streaming chuuba it'd crack me up, I might even clip it kek

>>20799790
How high or low is the rumored numbers filter that corpos use to filter out applicants? Is 1000 followers? 10,000? 100,000? Its been a consistent topic in the last several aspie threads and I'd like some good firsthand input on it

How long does it take for skeb artists to reply? It's been days and I haven't gotten a simple yes or a no reply. I can't even tell if they looked at it kek

>>20808060
It would make for a fun story to talk about on stream

Do you guys work out right before you stream? I was thinking it would be best to exercise an hour or two before streaming to warm myself but I don't want stream while I'm tired.

>>20808026
It doesn't have to be grooming, geeze.

Thinking about those Nijisanji auditions, what's the usual formula for the 5 minute video? What did you guys/girls do?

>>20809453
I don't personally know any agency that throws out applications from streamers under certain numbers, but it wouldn't surprise me if some idiotic ones do that. Certainly clout is good, but any competent agency can look at someone like Amiya Aranha or Aoi Tokimori and see how much talent they have, even without a proven track record.
>>20809846
Sorry for being defensive. Natural reflex from too much time spent in VTuber communities, and the alcohol is starting to hit hard

>>20810394
No wonder because it doesn't require singing dumbass. But about the clip, is it 5 minutes in one take or 5 minutes full of the best bits from a stream?

Good meowning~

>>20810352
Let me clarify: once you get to THAT level, where the brand basically sells itself, the quality of entertainer that you can get is so high that it would be incredibly unlikely to come from someone that isn't battle tested, so to speak. There's going to be many more applicants in that talent pool that have years of experience and success already, and they'll always be safer to go with. To use my previous examples, the talent pools that Tsunderia and PRISM Project are picking from are lower quality on average, so there are more openings for untested talents.
tl;dr There's no official number filter, but it's pretty natural that chuubas with numbers tend to get more corpo spots than literal nobodies.
>>20810523
Holy shit, if you aren't fujobaiting right now, you should seriously look into it. All the ones I know have high-pitched anime dub voices. The fujoshis need a deep smooth voice to scream and throw money at, and the guitar is an added bonus. ||My type is tsunderes with a heart of gold, but I appreciate the effort||

I am a chuuba and I feel so disconnected from the community because I don't know 90% of the songs that people cover or talk about. All I listen to is rap music. I'm a normie. I've been trying to culture myself but I don't even know where to start. I want to release covers, but I don't think they'd get anywhere either. I'm an EOP, I don't want to butcher Japanese pronunciation. Help

Too drunk to fix the spoiler but whatever. More people pandering to my type is a win

well art is passion driven for a lot of people, they have a dead set goal in mind and everything else is a distraction. ive been toying with the idea of making a webtoon so im not entirely opposed to doing simpler markettable stuff but i want to do some vtuber stuff first

Tough advice but needed. Thank you for not sugar coating it. Goodbye, niji aspirations

>>20811048
You just wanted a permission to quit, didn’t you?

>>20810936
is it always about the quality of the entertainers tho? im not saying theres some godlike indies that deserves the spot instead but some of the niji and holo picks are honestly not that impressive and seem purely like they won through having big numbers

a special message for (You)
https://voca.ro/1nCJqGhaYfNw

For people who are still relatively new to streaming with a viewing youre satisfied with, how did you overcome the anxiety from the first couple streams? I'm really motivated to start streaming not necessarily for the following or aspirations of getting into an org, more for the challenge and knowing it's something I'd regret not doing sooner than later. And of course it just seems really fun to try out with the positive side of meeting cool people at the same time. Issue is I'm a nervous wreck when it comes to anything performance wise, shit anons, I panic just giving an oral presentation during the zoom-school period from covid. Maybe this will be a good way to grow and persevere

>>20794515

As an artist turned chuuba 100% this

>>20811390
>how did you overcome the anxiety from the first couple streams
>Issue is I'm a nervous wreck when it comes to anything performance wise
When I do public speaking like extemporaneous speaking events, emceeing, doing reports, etc. I always have the entire room staring at me because I know how to project an aura of confidence. But what people don't know is that my hand literally shakes on its own beyond my control. Anxiety will stay there but you can learn how to "ignore" how your body feels. My advice would be to just do it. Focus on providing a good experience for everyone instead of focusing on your feelings. You will forget about that anxiety if you keep yourself busy. It also helps to come prepared with a list of topics relating to whatever you're doing that way you can rely on tools instead of experience (which you obviously lack at the moment). Given time, you will be less and less anxious as you grow more confident in your speaking skills.

>>20798313
that's a lot of money. i'm nowhere close to making that much that much money from my streams yet. i think if i did get enough money to get a new rig i'd get a char design I'm happy with first and foremost and then look for a model artist and rigger..something i didn't do the last time

How do people generally feel about nepotism within the top orgs? I'll be honest, I like looking into a major streamers "past" channels because I love seeing how far some have come, but realizing just how many some of the recent gens from Niji knew each other long before even auditioning leaves a bad taste in the mouth. I'll still always support and catch up with the streams, but it still feels shitty that it's just something that's accepted and even expected at this point

>>20811903
A lot are genuinely really good picks, but I can't help but feel like a lot of way more overqualified people were overlooked just so they could hire people like Uki

>>20811903
its absolutely killed nijien for me. its literally just a cool kids club gatekept by a few of the more senior members at this point. a lot of people like that dynamic tho, being able to peek into the lives of the popular cool kids and watch them hang out, but to me it reeks of untalented fucks getting a free ride to fame

>>20809746
do it, gives you something to talk about for 5min

>>20811903
think about it like this, you can either choose a random that you saw the audition of and know a little bit about or trust one of your talents word's that their friend will try their best and definitely not be yab
as a manager trying to avoid stupid shit i would certainly choose the latter most of the time
i don't even watch any big corpos or care about them anymore but it makes sense that nepotism matters so much

why not make your own music? if you know your scales then it's not hard to start. you could make beats and put them up on twitter like the kount or kaelin ellis

>>20811903
Nepotism, like all other things, sucks balls when it works against you and is fuckwin awesome when it works for you. That's life desu

Let's hear it!
vocaroo.com
Nepotism is a form of favoritism which is granted to relatives and friends in various fields, including business, politics, entertainment, sports, fitness, religion, and other activities. The term originated with the assignment of nephews to important positions by Catholic popes and bishops.
Nepotism has been criticized since the ancient times by several philosophers, including Aristotle, Valluvar, and Confucius, condemning it as both evil and unwise

>>20812443
That's true. If I'm being honest with myself and I was offered an opportunity knowing it was only made possible by a close friend already in, I'd still take it.

between comissioning a decent png and buying a good mic which is the best?

>>20812323
dont. find your own character

>>20812668
well you can't really stream without a mic. but you don't have to spend alot for a decent sounding mic because of obs noise gates.
but you won't be able to stream without a png either. so...
but mics are just cheaper than a png...so i'd get a cheap mic and a good png

>>20812668
Look at your budget and make a balance between them.

>>20812169
Nepotism in Niji's case seems to have worked out fine, especially on the EN's side of things, but it's a double edged sword. Some of them have known each other for years before joining (it's a known fact Elira, Enna, and Millie have been friends for years) and sure, management has the assurance that nothing yab is gonna happen, but let's say something occured that wasn't necessarily anyone's fault but someone still had to take the fall for, it would create a pretty weird dynamic with everyone involved. All it takes is one uncomfortable position to make things awkward for everyone from there on.

>>20812668
Spend money on the mic. Audio is everything when it comes to streaming. You don't want to sound like you're in the airport. For the PNG you can just use some of the free ones you can make online to create a placeholder until you save enough money for a good one.

>>20812668
Mic, people will put you on 2nd tab or only listen to your stream while doing their work most of the time, Let be honest here how often do you "watch" a stream and pay attention to the model after the initial debut?.

>>20813113
>>20812910
I have a Blue Yeti and am wondering if you guys have software suggestions for making things sound better? Bit of a dumb question, but let's say I stream on twitch/youtube, would it sound different than how I would sound to someone on Discord? I know Discord does a lot of compressing so it'll always sound pretty ass, wondering if the latter two also do the same thing and if I need to tweak settings accordingly

>>20812668
1000% mic.
Even if you have the fanciest png ever, absolutely everyone hates a shitty microphone.

>>20813257
> but let's say I stream on twitch/youtube, would it sound different than how I would sound to someone on Discord
Yes, your audio on discord will always suck (but make sure to keep your gain to a manageable level so you can at least not sound like ass on your end) and your audio on stream will be louder than what you hear on your desktop. I recommend audio testing on a separate testing account.

>>20813257
Look into Obs mic filters if you haven't, just pick any tutorial on Youtube if you need one.

>>20813415
That was hilarious but on the off chance that's your actual accent and not a joke you need to spend some time practicing enunciation. I don't expect everyone to sound a radio presenter but that accent is not attractive at all

>>20812541
https://voca.ro/1frzUrD9DMi2

>>20813257
The basic ones are a noise gate, compressor, and limiter (in that order).
You can also add an equalizer before the limiter to make your voice sound a bit warmer and reduce SSSSSS sounds.

>>20813938
A pop filter is also a good investment to get rid of annoying plosive sounds, especially if you use a dynamic mic like shure where your mouth has to be near the mic

>>20813777
yea, that was my actual voice
i know i have basically an indian accent
i have been practicing enunciation but it doesn't seem to help much

>>20814305
May have to shell out some shekels for a vocal coach. I'd recommend reading books out loud and over enunciating the words. Record yourself doing that and keep trying until you get a sound you think is good. This'll take days to weeks (I'd know cuz I had the same problem with my ESL accent but it's much lesser now). It also helps to surround yourself with native english speakers and their accents will subconsciously rub off on you.

>>20814392
i actually spend most of my time watching videos in english and reading in english, my main problem is that since i'm not actually american i never actually speak in english
i have been trying to force myself but it's weird

>>20814488
You could always just speak in your native tongue. It might actually help your growth if you're one of the few vtubers from your country. If you want to stream in english... well, it's time to do speaking reps.

i always wanted to do narration of a book or something, but i don't even know what i should think about my voice. its just fine i guess. i wonder if i just need to read something that requires more emphasis? On stream i don't act out character i don't like reading all dialogue either, i think that would get really tiring for a viewer (who is trying to fall asleep to my stream)

>>20815953

We all hate ourselves, but putting this on stream is very off putting. As a viewer that would make me very confused, specially with these expressions
Dude you got a "OK I HAD ENOUGH IMMA DO IT!!!" and then ok what happens? If you want mutilation so much, go for a zombie theme then, making your body fall off and getting reattached by donations.

>>20811903
It really doesn't bother me, in all honesty. That's how the world works.
Every single job I've ever worked at has had a "nepotism" hire or two. It is only natural that someone that a trusted employee can vouch for will get preferential treatment compared to other applicants with the same skills, especially in a line of work where you want the applicant in question to get along convincingly with the rest of your employees on the air.
I've never been the nepotism hire or gotten anyone close to me hired but in all honesty, I have always found the people I work with that complain the most about nepotism hires are often doing so from a place of insecurity. It doesn't look good to complain about something like that in my opinion.

No png, I want to have both models on screen, as if we were really side by side in the same room.

>>20821425
the way it works its basically a discord api hook i believe and all it does is switch between two css states (active, normal). you have to be in the same discord channel and have the plugin point to it and then it works by itself you basically ask your collab chuubas what you should put there and you can do the light up with css (or have two different images for it)

Applications definitely get looked at before the submission deadline. Otherwise you'd have to go through thousands of applications and videos, on top of checking references and other related shit like that. It just takes too much time which pushes back other deadlines down the line. It's best to get a headstart on it when you can to make things easier down the road.
>>20826466
Hangover isn't too bad, thankfully. Best advice I can give is to practice voice acting lines from anime dubs to help with diction and cadence. Try out some Steve Blum monologues from The Big O, Ah! My Goddess, or Chobits, your voices have similar timbre. You need to sound natural and keep up those speaking patterns for extended periods, but if it feels like you're reading a script, it's not going to work.

deadline for Nijisanji is March 31st and Hololive has permanent open auditions?

desu I could never participate in something like holofes.
I'm neither into dancing/singing nor do I think it's a particularly important skill for a streamer to have.
I do like the restrictions they set, I think I could thrive in an environment like that but singing/dancing is out of question for me.
ninisanji feels like a group of friends hanging out on discord so that also isn't a fit.
there is some smaller corps but most of them feel like scams so I guess I'm destined to be indie.
