if you have no facial features, give up. You need them. Humans connect with other "human-like" faces and the inability to show emotion in a human-like way or even the lack of a human face will filter 99.9% of viewers. It's the reason almost no chuubas have a mask and only one (to my knowledge) has ever done well and didn't always have the mask on.

>>7220603
Being unique can help a bit but then you have the people that go to the extreme and have furry models or pngs with rainbow fur or giant space cat dragons.
When you try to make your model as outlandish as possible it could be seen as fear of being boring/uninteresting/having no personality, in my opinion.

>> No.7220942

I'm real creative but I'm only passable at tech stuff so I wanted to ask you guys, do you know of any way to tie audio levels to an effect? Like a light that lights up more and more the higher the audio goes?

Also, on an unrelated note, does Valefor not stream much anymore? I remember he was one who I thought would do pretty well if he learned to be more entertaining because of his design but his Twitch is nearly all empty and his Youtube too. Seems a shame to me.

>> No.7220973

The model is just the pull and some flavoring along the way if you're successful, it's the personality that people actually stay for mostly. You can initially substitute a poor personality with a neat model but it can only take you so far before people find you lacking.

Looking at /here/ chuubas that started in spring, is growth a matter of not having bad quality and time? People hit affiliate left and right it seems just by virtue of knowing each other.
All feedback I got so far tells me I’m an ok person, but it’s probably not enough, or?

>> No.7222369

My "mic" in the OBS audio mixer is picking up dB, even though there's no microphone connected. I don't have an internal one. I have a loud fan. I recorded a short video to see if it records any noise, but it was silent. It doesn't go up when I slam the table or scream. It's not interfering with my work, but it's bizarre. What's going on? Maybe it's the noise removal filter?

My first regular were my younger brother and his partner, who would check in periodically and post something vaguely useful to the stream, but it boosted me immediately to a 2-view with a semi-active chat. Seeing them in chat doesn't feel like anything.

However, I've been raided by a few people who seem to really enjoy my stuff, and I've got a femgosling who's been pushing for me to do a collab (I will, once I get the technical issues I'm currently having sorted), and who comes to every stream.

Seeing them there is great - they chat with each other, along with me, so it REALLY keeps the chat going and is great for stats. They're welcoming of new viewers, they do (a few) clips, and they signal boost me on twitter.

I seem to have been adopted, and they all like hanging out in my stream for some reason.

It's amazing.

They're also doing the big push right now to get me to 50 followers and hit affiliate. They're posting in their discords and streams multiple times to get me over that hill. Is this what high-school would have been like if I was attractive?

They were in the sense that a lot of chuubas at those "ranks" are friends. Fina and one of the other girls had collabed before, but I don't know if it extended past them just knowing eachother and being friendly.

Artgun, JJinomu, and Yoolies are the best three in vtubing and they're all backed up or reserved by various larger chuubas, so getting a good 3D model is next to impossible even if you've got cash on hand.

I'm tired of seeing people misconstrue their own obsessive checking as extra views on their video. It's unbelievable that it's never been brought up or that none of you actually know this but YOU CAN LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF UNIQUE VIEWERS ON A YOUTUBE VIDEO.
Unique views. The number goes up per different ip address that watches your video, or the same ip address if you're logged into a different account. You can check this in your Youtube analytics.

Not to spread false hope, but for you ghosts and birds it could just be they seperated the auditions by character in terms of the order they were going to look at them, and they just haven't gotten to those two yet. I'd say give them the full month since the deadline to give up.

Many people say they got a couple, 3, 4 or 5 views. There is no way a recruiter will look through your video more than once, let alone multiple unique views from different people at Nijisanji. It's safe to assume if anyone gives a number like that they're counting their own views.

They're talking 3D, getting 2D is so ridiculously easy since they're a dime a dozen. There's only a handful of artists that take 3D comms though, and they're all fairly high quality so the biggest people buy them all out and they just keep working with them since its guaranteed money, and they're only making outfits as opposed to full models. Coupled with that, they get more guaranteed large clients through references.

You're right. I made an assumption based off the phrasing but it doesn't say that specifically.

All this confirms is no one would be contacted before the deadline, though I assume they could still look through applications. That would hopefully not mean people who applied sooner end up more likely forgotten though, that would be a shame.

I feel like an agency would ease some of that burden (easier collabs) and allows me to offload some of the overhead I have now onto them.

Really tricky to know how much a smaller agency would really help with this. I always felt like they were very hands-off but I think this is something that you can talk about during the interview stages.
When it comes to time management I think it's best to outsource as much as possible if you have the funds. Like clipping, schedule art and the like. I started doing this recently and it freed up a ton of time for me.

They also might not like your concept for the character, cause I know niji has a history of shelving designs until they find someone they deem fit for the role. Meaning no-names also have a chance, since I know people who auditioned for round 1 with much higher numbers and appeal that the girls who ended up getting in, that didnt even get a callback.

Thank you, my fellow. I appreciate your well wishing. As the deadline draws close I find the anxiety growing. I really hope they at least look at my submitted video, as while I do believe I did the written application to the best of my ability, probably to an embarrassingly autistic level, I'm actually really proud of my audition video. I'm not even sure I care so much if they actually pass me on to the next stage, though I truly wish they do, as much as I just want them to see that one thing I put my full effort into.

There's likely not nearly as many time constraints to releasing a JP wave compared to an EN one. A JP niji applicant can just talk directly to artists, meanwhile EN ones would likely need a translator and have to work around timezones, it just isn't viable.

They haven't done it in the past, and adding the requirement of them being bilingual just adds another filter of total possible artists

You say that like the neet applicants aren't used to being awake at the oddest of hours, and if the middlemen who would certainly be in this scenario are inept at translation. If it was a big, long design project you'd have a point, but if it's as easy as "I want to be a pirate with a gold cape" then it's really no issue. Even less so if it's taking a predone design and making minor color tweeks or whatever nijisanji actually does. Language and time in the modern age is really the least of one's concern in this sort of affair. An unclear vision or wishywashy attitude would be far worse on either end.

Not OP, but no, you don't. The first few payments can take a few days though, so I'd set it up ASAP, then transfer money in and out to make sure it all works; and maybe pay a family member as well.

On top of that, there's the paypal fees, which cut into the money, and are definitely something to be aware of, but not much you can do about it, to be honest.

I'm nervous to fill out my audition for nijibros, do you think there's still a chance?
I can't draw my own design and I'm worried I'll mess up the written part.
I remember getting a handful of views for the Hololive auditions, but I pointed out I'm a guy, and no response.
So should I just go all out with the video or focus more on what I want to do when in nijisanji?

The written part has a lot of questions you’re going to need to answer as an indie regardless. It’s a good learning experience, for your own personal development and as practice for any future aud you may apply to.
I also don’t think they expect the video to be maxed out in production values. You could probably just do it with the default dog live2d or whatever if you’re worried your art is gonna be that bad.

Alrighty! I'll try not to worry too much about the visuals then, but should the self-introduction part of the video be short, long, or does it not matter?
I wrote more of a back and forth between the viewer with the character I'm portraying, so I'm not sure if it should be more on-rails with the viewer rather than dragging them along and nagging them.

>> No.7268347

I don’t think it matters! I saw a really good piece of advice here a few threads back; basically you want to front load your audition with all your best stuff first.
Think about it like, they probably won’t actually watch the full video unless you make it to the second round. They’re much more likely to scrub through it, watch a bit here and there, so make sure nothing lasts too long and you’re doing something interesting all the way through.

But generally, you either get contacted by them or you reach out to them. There are sites that have large listings of available sponsorships you can apply for or you can try to reach out to things you want through contact email and hopefully they get back to you. Things like mobile game sponsorships such as RAID or VIKINGS tend to come from your StreamElements, but I know people that have gotten opportunities such as Corsair reaching out to them through SE.

There's different ways. Not for vtubing but I've gotten minor sponsorships irl from basically just working with people and spreading the word that I work with then. Since I do a good job, it makes them look good so they decided to sponsor me (not a lot of money but bits here and there) in return for basically just giving a public statement I like working with them periodically.
Usually if you're in fields like sports or entertainment, outside of them coming to you, doing high visibility things related to them attracts them into coming. E.g. winning tournaments or putting out popular content related to then.

I'm expecting to hit affiliate this weekend - I'm one follower short of the 50 I need, and have all the other stats well over what's needed.

I never did a debut, because I'm male, a pngTuber so no animations to show, and started from 0; so a debut would be me talking to Rosy Palm, Commander Root, and nobody else. Is it worth doing one after I hit affiliate, or worth holding on to until I'm at a double-digit average?

Similarly, when (if ever) is it worth doing a subathon? I kind of thought it might be best to do a subathon/debut polymerisation, as that seems less grubby than doing two (effectively) begging streams, but I've a small audience, and not sure any of them actually would donate, and don't want it to fall flat if I start a subathon and don't even reach the first goal.

Hi there! VR cat here with another post! Sorry for the interruption but I wanted to share my current progress with the regimen I've been doing this week. I want to document and share this info for transparency and accountability to the audience and potential encouragement for those in similar situations. Normally this would be relayed on stream but I have some obligations today that I can't miss.

Week 1 Progress (July 25-July 29)
>Starting Weight
268 lbs./121.5 kg
>Monthly Goal
Lose 5 lbs./2.2 kg in the next 30 days
>Activity
+150 combined minutes of weekly cardio using FitXR, Thrill of the Fight, and Knockout League, with 10-15 minutes of supplementary squats with RealFitVR
>Results
265.5 lbs./120.4 kg
>Contributing Factors
These are definitely newbie weight loss results from shock due to the sheer fact that I have largely been a sedentary cat for the good majority of my life. I'd appreciate similar results throughout the month but I know plateaus are inevitable the further you progress with your weight loss journey. Having said that I've significantly cut down the amount of sugar laden beverages I drink save for the occasional pre-post workout smoothie, in addition to keeping my daily caloric intake hovering around 1500-1700.
>Improvements
I'd like to move around a lot more with games like Thrill of the Fight and Knockout League, but my playspace is rather small which increases the likelihood of smashing my fists against something hard and valuable. Squats are nice but I'm not too keen on having to do them every stream, so I'm probably going to stop in a week or two just to see what other workout options RealFitVR has. I got my heart rate monitor at last! Hopefully the heart rate and calorie counter will be added come Monday. I also need to stop hitting my mic, gomen.

Sorry if this feels too much like blog posting, I wanted to get it out there to showcase where I'm at so far.

Just a tip if some of you see this person's account and think of commissioning them: DON'T DO IT. They always have their commissions open even when they have a buttload of commissions not done. They will go full menhera on twitter and never respond to you. Theres a reason why they post a lot of "This model is abandoned" because the commissioner refunded their ass for taking a long time to complete their commission and never responding to DMs. I felt bad when I discovered them for having their models "abandoned" then I knew why after going through the process with them. I got like 8 skebs done while they only provided me with a sketch with no response after.
