/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

I'm going to buy a pumpkin roll at the store and none of you can stop me.

>>8655105
Do it I DARE you

is cringe if i post a voice demo here?
i wanna test how shitty my english is, also im a dude...

>>8656152
go ahead, aspies could help you with some audio issue if you have some too n_n

>>8656152
Go for it! Happy to provide singing tips and feedback if you want.

>>8656152
It's fine, we used to do that all the time.
If you're recording directly to vocaroo, make sure to turn off their crap under the little gear icon.

Sleepy /asp/ hours, huh?
How are your streaming reps going? Got any neat stream ideas you're fine with other guys stealing?

>>8660043
no real unique ideas at the moment. i wish i was as creative as Ame was. just doing vod reps right now and listening to Randon's advice for vtubers.

>>8656152
welp here i am !
https://voca.ro/15MTxWBEHrbk
i bite my tongue during the recording but i try my best

Any of you have "a thing" that sets you apart? A gimmick or niche that makes you "that one ____ Vtuber"? I'm still trying to find mine.

>>8661133
your mic is kinda quiet, i had to raise up every thing to hear you. your voice is fine for talking, the accent is a nice buff for US viewers. you're gonna have to work on your streamer voice. not just talking but presenting your material to your viewers. your singing needs work but i don't know how to help you there because i'm not barbershop anon.

prism audition anons for the self introduction are you just recording with your current model and telling them about your personality? I swear this is the part I always overthink

>>8662511
I just submitted mine!

I did a roleplay scene that introduces the character I would be for Red Riding Hood and it shows my voice acting and vocal range. Maybe you can do something like that too? If not I think making an introduction with the character you want to be is okay too.

I don't think you have to be your already current vtuber tho? Unless I misread and fucked up LOL, but I introduced myself normally in the reference video!

>>8662948
I was confused bc it says "you don't have to prepare your own model if you don't have it" which led me to believe they were expecting us to use our model in the audition video? I think some of the way they word things is weird but im also just dumb so

>>8655571
I bought it and I ate it, now I'm watching pIcky instead of doing reps like I should

>>8662511
I made a quick 2 minute animation (no colors, just lineart) that I voiced as an introduction before transitioning into a quick normal 'zatsudan' about the making of the video while talking to a chat i also faked.

still have a bit of touching up to do but i'm pretty happy with it.
auditioning for alice btw.

>>8663142
I love how confident you guys are in your approach and I'm jealous. My brain is just not comprehending what they want

So you're essentially role-playing the character but trying to convey your personality too? Like a mock stream of what they can expect from you as that character?

>>8654596
hey it's me the ESLchuuba again. i hope you guys are doing well!
I would like to hear about more questions about spanish speaking stuff, anything goes.
Also, I'm asking to other aspies to give me some advice on how to sound less nervous while talking. thanks in advance!!

>>8663702
>Like a mock stream of what they can expect from you as that character?
Its literally all they want.
Don't take it too seriously or overthink it. Just show them what they can expect from you.

If you're not good enough, waiting or working hard isn't going to make you good enough, you're not going to be able to "fake it". You've either been doing your streaming reps and are able to make content, or you slacked off and you'll suck at it. If you suck at it then get to doing your reps and do it next audition.

>>8663986
Gives us a tldr in all different accents, maybe explains us where they originated (i wanna know where the fuck fome and chinga came from)

>>8663986
Loud is proud. Force yourself to slow down. It's okay to take a few seconds to compose a sentence in your mind BEFORE speaking since you're ESL.

How do you actually know if you’re good/getting better at streaming?

>>8664372
drink 10 glasses of whiskey, watch a vod, and judge yourself.

It's just a barely-formed idea in my head for now, but I've been thinking of taking up vtubing. Would viewers have a problem with a female character that has a male voice? Like a perfectly normal-looking anime girl avatar but the personality, voice, etc. of a dude, with little to no lore or kayfabe to explain why? Would it depend on how I play the character?

>>8665508
That's surprisingly common already

>>8665508
it's called being a babiniku and yeah it's pretty common

>>8661133
Listening to your vocaroo, the recording level was very slow, but I think your English is very understandable, and I think a lot of people would find the accent charming.

For the singing, the center of pitch moved around a lot, but since you're singing without a backing track, it can be difficult to keep that straight. As for your voice itself, I would recommend first to practice diaphraghmatic breathing. So, sit straight, feet planted on the ground, and take a deep breath in. Don't raise your shoulders, but instead feel your lungs expand in every direction, pushing downward. If you put your hands on your stomach below your ribcage, you'll feel that expansion.

Now, breathing like that, and singing that way will give you much greater breath support, and I think you'll find it improves your singing (and speech) a lot.

For working on your pitch, I would recommend looking up ear training (interval training) exercises online. These will help you maintain those strong relationships between pitches, and keep you from getting off onto sour notes. I recommend recording yourself, and listening back, to confirm if you really are singing on pitch. It's hard to do without someone there with you, but recording yourself is your best friend. With those first few steps, I think you'll find a lot of improvement happening very quickly.

I definitely encourage you to get started! Stream with a scuffed homemade PNG and see if you like it. If you do, then you can get things together to invest further into streaming. Good luck, anon!

>>8663986
>how to sound less nervous while talking.
slow down and take deeper breaths. that's what i do. don't be afraid of pauses if you need a moment to think about what you want to say next.

>>8660289
I'm thinking of doing a "speedrun" of a game this weekend. It's relatively short (can be done in under 20 minutes), but what I plan on doing is one "regular" play through first for people who don't know the game. then after that go through a speedrun, explaining everything along the way (it's not actually gonna be fast or anything, but just following the routes and stuff)

Is it okay as a male to ask for a collab with a female chuuba or there's no stigma for indies?

>>8666956
Gomen, meant to respond to >>8660043

>>8660289
What's a tl;dr on his advice, I caught the "make video content" but had to step away after that

>>8666984
I have and they've accepted, so I think it's fine. Just don't be weird.

>>8667110
rewatch vods. do it. force yourself to do it. you're looking for a few things
>basic streamer stuff
>are you interacting with chat
>what was something better you could have done or said?
Randon offered the example of getting into an argument with someone, and then coming up with better arguments later while you're in the shower and how you would have won if you thought of it then. that's what you're looking for. when someone it chat said something, what did you say, and how could you have riffed off it for something even better?

other shit is to start making offline content on youtube because that has the potential to grow your brand without you ever touching it. edit together clips and highlights and put them on youtube so they get new subs, clicks, views even while you're taking a break. focusing 100% on twitch will burn you out because you cannot grow if you're not live and actively streaming.

>>8666984
just don't be a weirdo about it bro.
and chill with the rape eyes.

>>8665567
>>8665714
Rad. I definitely remember hearing the term once or twice, now that you mention it.

How do I into vtubing? I am requesting your assistance. Please do the needful. Thank you in advamce.

I already streem, I have kickass avatar drawn by neighbor.

>>8668441
>>8668527
general advice and manager larp:
>make content first, everything comes 2nd to content
>planning out your stream content is 10000x more important that having an overlay or having whatever follow or sub notifications set up, or even a model to start with
>if you're planning on doing gaming content you're going to need something else to make you stand out, there are too many of those already
>your first streams will suck, just accept it and improve every stream
>make an effort to tangibly improve something ever week, adding a new overlay element, new schedule template, new alerts, new content, something should be visibly better about your stream every week
>stream using a temp account to practice because you might not like your initial character design or want your ultra scuffed streams to be in your VODs
>do your reps for at least 3 weeks to see if you can keep a consistent schedule before dropping any serious cash on this
>get used to talking to no one, too many vtubers rely on chat to feed them topics and things to talk about, you should be leading your chat by the hand on what you want to talk about and be able to handle a completely dead chat and have a one way conversation or lecture on a topic for your stream length
>put a post it note on your monitor of things you want to talk about that stream
>put a post it note of names on your monitor, use those whenever you need a name for a story, do not use your real name, a friends, real name, or your pets real name
>change details in every story you tell as a standard practice to avoid doxxing
>clear your name out of doxx sites, use the pastebin for a reference on how to do that
>check archives for any previous identities you could have to see what comes up if someone does break your opsec
>watch your streams back, at least skipping through to hear how things go, write down note on how you would feel if you were watching this as a viewer

>>8664017
I'm happy with my content and streaming ability I just unfortunately have dumbass disease. I feel much better about it now tho thank you for clearing it up

>>8665776
>>8661831
Thanks for the feedback
im gonna try my best to improve

>>8668713
Thank you friend. I will use your advice and kickass avatar to become good for inshallah

>>8669660
Do your best, anon! Drop your links when you're all set up.

>>8666956
That sounds fun. Really good if it's not a particularly well known game, in fact.

Just want to let the aspies that are starting to stream know your doing great I catch a lot of your guy's streams. just relax and have a fun time

>>8675868
anyone new we should be watching?

>>8677489
Yes, me

>>8677641
Submit that link AT ONCE!

i never understood why some chuubas go menhera. after seeing myself stagnating and falling behind after these last few weeks i understand now.

>>8678278

>>8678196
nta but I'm going live with my last public test stream in a little while: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CN5Ku5PJQ-c
I do appreciate everyone who's tuned in over the last few days. I'll tone down the self shilling in this thread after this as I plan to properly "debut" if everything seems passable after this stream. Figure I'll finish the game this way though.

>>8661133
understandable (pronunciation could be better), cute accent, admirable chutzpah to come into a tibetian throat-singing tribunal and rick roll them. do your reps and you can make it.

>>8678278
damn, sorry to hear that, anon, hope you don't go too menhera

>>8680741
i thought it was doing well. and i saw someone i thought was a friend of mine start streaming. he didn't even debut. and he's doing much better than i did in the last 5 weeks. what am i doing wrong? i hate myself.

>>8680865
What kind of content do you make and what kind of content does he make?

>>8680865
don't compare yourself too much to your friend, you could still be doing well. just because someone else is inclining doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong

>>8667363
>getting into an argument with someone, and then coming up with better arguments later while you're in the shower and how you would have won if you thought of it then
I do this all the time, fuck

I just found out who posted that moth design the other week.

Moth girl, if you're awake and probably checking out this thread, I want to tell you you're welcome to hang out with us. I think you know the discords by now, hopefully.

>>8678851
Thank you to those of you who have suffered through my test streams. I've enjoyed them myself thus far and hope the "real" stuff coming soon can do an even better job at entertaining you for even just a little bit.

For how long do you guys think being a vtuber will be a viable main income source?

Got a 7 second view on my vshojo app, just long enough to check on the “hey vshojo!” Requirement.
Make sure you don’t forget it in your audition!!

>>8687283
If you are doing it for the money unless you have something very unique to offer or are a third worlder you are NGMI

>>8665776
Could you help critique my singing too?

https://voca.ro/11ktwUr1DQ0V

>>8661572
Yeah, the fact that my only friends for the past couple of years have been various rat roadkills that I'm passing by on my way to work and I kinda miss whenever I don't see them there in the morning because janitors cleaned them up. It's important to have something stable and constant in your life, so I hate to see them go like that.
There was one rat corpse that stayed for almost entire summer, turning into pretty much a bleached skeleton in the process, was pretty cool.

Hololive ID/Indonesia Gen 3 auditions: https://twitter.com/hololive_Id/status/1430424705673031687

>>8687878
I'm sorry about your dead rrats. Hopefully you'll find new ones soon.

>>8688060
No worries, they're interspaced with random crushed pigeons, the source of which I've yet to find actually, because they're never on the road and instead always crop up on the sidewalk. They turn out pretty cool, because once the feathers are gone you get a sort of skeletal imprint, like on the fossils, and since most of the time they throw their wings up to apparently fly away before getting crushed, they end up looking like little pterodactyl corpses.

What games did you find good for inclining?

Checking my stats, surprisingly, Skyrim's been food for me. Despite playing unmodded, but I guess it's because I'm doing a challenge run?

>>8687822
you sound nervous

not becoming a vtuber any time soon but just wanted to say that I really enjoy seeing you guys help each other to achieve your goals
it's a level of solidarity that one rarely witnesses on 4chan and i hope it stays that way for a while
some of you guys have a lot of potential, keep at it!

how do you get gachikoi/paypigs and simps?

>>8693691
Step 1 be female

>>8680865
Worrying about numbers is a fast track to menhera
Even if you initially go into this as a hobby for fun it can be real easy to lose sight of that and think too hard about numbers which will just send you spiring if you don't snap out if it

>>8693964
biologically female checking in, next step

>>8694105
give me your paypal queen

>>8694105
Step 2 be asian

>>8694105
Get a booba or loli avatar
Make GFE content

>>8664155
got this, accents are a really good topic anon
>>8664162
>>8666396
Thanks a lot, anons!!

>>8694221
also asian, not japanese but fluent in 3 langs. is that a buff?
>>8694235
gotcha anon. what are some important components of gfe, any chuubas to emulate?

>>8695295
>is that a buff?
for me it would be yeah, polylingualism is hot
also can help reach more audience

I started off as a PNGchuuba and I am finishing my live2d model's art, planning to spend a bit of money on L2D. But I am worried what if my audience wouldn't like the redesign..! I may be overthinking, after all, they watch me for my voice, responses, and personality in a first-place instead of this PNG sprite... I want to keep the redesign and model a surprise for them, but I can't help and keep being worried at the back of my head.

>>8697087
just say you got hit by a truck and got reborn

I have no idea what I sound like. Anybody want to give opinions?
https://voca.ro/1aqbRjJRsALi

>>8700391
>https://voca.ro/1aqbRjJRsALi

Your voice is nice? Your mic is well hissy though. The sharp s’s are so hard to listen to.

>>8700391
a good voice
is that a canadian accent i hear?
t.esl

>>8700513
Haha, yeah that's about what I expected. Didn't want to bother with even buying a mic if I ended up sounding goofy.
>>8700626
Nah, not Canadian. I actually have a bit of a southern accent come out if I get excited.

Appreciate the responses, guys.

I don't think there's a type of voice that would actually disqualify you from becoming a vtuber.
Unless you have throat cancer or something.

>>8700391
>>8700391
cute voice, would sex. more importantly, would listen to for hours while streaming and not get annoyed. get a better mic and you're good.

>>8700955
>Unless you have throat cancer or something.
Corpse Husband has some throat condition that's killing him and requires surgery and it's actually turning out to be a buff in his case.

how many guys and gals from here made it?

>>8702084
Lumi from Cyberlive just got gifted thousands of dollars after getting twitch affiliate and shot up to 100 viewers within a month of starting. So she's one that made it.

>>8702235
is she really /here/ thOUGH

>>8702338
She used to be part of /asp/ and helped give advice and helped out lots of members. She mentioned she still browses /vt/ so she's just anonymous now.

>>8702235
completely unrelated question but is there a lain theme vtuber yet

>>8702393
KKCyber?
All her pics are Lain references

>>8702393
yeah, she's called hatoba tsugu

>>8702492
>>8702442
not lainey enough

>>8702338
she's probably the most connected to /asp/ out of any of the chuubas that are in a corpo

>>8694235
what does GFE content mean

>>8700955
but anon how else will they get validation ass pats from internet strangers

i really vtubers experimenting with different artstyles like this ps2 looking mf over here
the rigged 2d style gets boring after a while

>>8703109
pretending to be chat's girlfriend
>>8703371
there are some who do that, but it's really a decision that people make to suit their aesthetics
https://twitter.com/Priichu/status/1409994265128845319

>>8703760
this is great, i really dig the low poly aesthetic

>>8703109
Basically pretending you care about your viewers.

I have 0 experience building a PC, so I'm going the prebuilt route. Is pic related a good set-up for streaming games? I honestly just picked the parts I see being suggested around the internet.

>>8706052
Do you not care about money?

>Considering rebranding from a generic moth that loves lamps to something more in tune with my interests outside generic internet culture.

>Honest thoughts? Sorry for the scuffed edit job. I want to add a backpack and some more utility but I also worry about over cluttering the design.

Moth girl, if you browse this thread, I think it will be alright if hang out with us. You probably know the /asp/ discords and the /wvt/ discords. You'll do alright, I believe in you.

>>8703371
>ps2 looking mf
Don't wanna be pedantic but that's more psx than ps2. ps2's could have upwards of 5,700 polygons, and that's including average lighting and unique textures/shaders. The polygon count is abudantly lacking if that was a ps2 inspired model, and the resolution for the textures is far lower quality than most game companies would be using.
also I'm glad there's some interest for it since I want to do something involving low poly ps1 style modelling and rigging in the future for my vtubing stuff

Try looking up #256fes on twitter and other social media. It's a challenge that encourages people to work within the old restrictions psx and n64 developers worked within, and was the industry standard for working on non-important NPCs or enemies. Sure you'll find some stuff you like.

>>8706463
I want to be pedantic, it's PS1 or PS, not PSX.

>>8706496
touche

>>8706463
cool, i'm always for anons experimentating, i feel like there's a lot of unexplored territory in vtubing still

Femanon here who applied for Prism.

Ugh...I'm becoming more self conscious and scared the more I think about what I did. I think I made my writing sections very casual and fun instead of actually treating it like a job!!! I'M SO SORRY PRISM

I hope they find it endearing because I wrote a LOT in each section, but I might've shot myself in the foot!

Well, at least I still have my indie which is going pretty well for basically just starting!

>>8706052
This picture hurts me on so many levels

>>8706496
Nta, but all gaming publications in the 90s, at least in the US, abbreviated it as PSX, and boomers like me have a hard time not using that.

how do these applications work if you bomb out? do they allow you to reapply next time they have auditions?

>>8706563
Of course, very much so. Unfortunately, most average viewers aren't ready to sink their teeth into anything too crazy or off-par, and most content creators are either too afraid to take the risk and lose popularity, or aren't popular enough for their crazy idea to pay off.

I'm not going to do anything too crazy, so hopefully my idea pays off. Planning to make a PS1 model for every and any person I collab with, since it ties into my Vtuber kayfabe in a way
>>8706613
Unless you're talking about anything potentially negative about yourself, I don't think it'd be an issue. Better to write too much than not enough. Good luck with the auditions friend.

>>8706110
As I said, I don't really know what I'm doing. But I can make that in a week before taxes, so it's not going to kill me. However if there's a cheaper alternative, I'm very much open to it.
>>8706678
Please explain. I don't know what I'm doing.

>>8706460
i miss her too, she seems to be cool desu

>>8706613
Is this way of typing just your kayfabe? It's.. distinct to put it nicely. You aren't really going to be able to be anonymous in this thread if you keep it up.

>>8702338
she raided little_s after streaming and talks constantly about krimbo and ass, and has mentioned odette at least once

What's more important for a model, for you, the art, or the rigging?

I'm thinking of upgrading from PNG to L2D, but I don't have the cash to go full on both. Tempted to spread the cost out, maybe use the L2D as a PNG for a while...

>>8710024
Art imo. First thing people will notice is how you look, not how you move.

>>8695295
step 3 open a chaturbate account

anyone know what’s gura’s appeal that keeps her the most popular? I personally don’t enjoy watching her, but i want to learn from her success.

>>8710024
Clock proves coomers will accept kusorigging as long as booba.

>>8711535
Lightning in a bottle, don't chase it

>>8711535
Can someone tell me what the appeal of Ina or Amelia too, for that matter? Kiara and Mori are at least entertaining, but two for five's a failing grade.

>>8711535
dunno i find her pretty funny her singing is cute too
>>8711903
ina comfy, ame creativity

>>8711903
i like to fall asleep to Ina or have her voice in the background

>>8711903
lightning in a bottle, right place and the right time. Impossible to replicate, dont bother.

thinking about niche and how to make myself stand out, particularly as a dude with a massive dick. looking for opinions on content.

some things i were thinking (in addition to streaming standard streamerbait games and Minecraft bait):

--strategy games that have lots of customization for viewer interactivity. Seems like a niche most Vtuber streamers don't go for. XCOM and Paradox games (Stellaris, CK)

--i love talking about stonks and personal finances. mostly entry level stuff, basically copy Cramer from Mad Money but for weebs. I work as an analyst for JPM as a day job. feels like there could be a creative and viewer-friendly way of presenting this subject.

>>8711903
Ina reminds me of the nice quiet asian girls at my school that were really dorky but super genuine. Ame is a literal whore who is using her sc $$$ to pay for her and her bfs apartment. I don’t know why people watch her either

>>8706613
I wouldn't worry too much. I've been following prism since gen1, and it seems that they go about everything fairly casually.

On top of that, Nia implied on stream today that streaming with prism isn't technically a job. Don't know if that's just how she feels or if that's actually how the structure works at prism or not.

>>8712415
I say go for it. I'd probably follow you because I do need to learn more about stonks.

>>8712578
>uses money from her job to pay rent
>"fucking whore"
This board is incredible

how exactly do I find my vocal pitch? my voice has this weird tone that I simply cannot identify

>>8714702
What do you mean? Are you having difficulty matching pitch?

>>8711535
She's cute and has a fun voice, however I think most of her numbers come from becoming a meme at the get go, and people latch onto that sort of shit. Her shilling and minefaggotry as of late has been a complete turn off though.
>>8711903
Ina is like the bob ross of vtubing. She's got a real soothing voice and seems like a nice person in general. I don't understand why people simp for Ame. Like she'll do some entertaining things sometimes I guess. Usually 'lol so random' reddit shit though. My problem with her is often she's a major sore loser (See her CSGO stream), or she will outright ask for backseat gaming because it's very obvious she doesn't want to actually play the game (See Mario 64). 'Lol I don't want actually play videogames today, so I'm going back to minecraft' Seriously, fuck minecraft.

it's ok, I don't even know how to speak English.

>>8714852
more like I just don't know what my vocal pitch is, this kinda makes it hard to find my talking/singing voice

>>8714919
Send a vocaroo of you reading something and I can help place your voice. Or singing something. Preferably both.

What's that site that people use to list all their accounts? They put a link to it on their twitter bios due to the short character limit.

>>8715148
There are multiple, but I think the most common are carrd and linktree?

>>8715228
Linktree! Thanks

>>8710024
art. your modelling culd be decent, but if you have a dusty or not so clean art on it, doesnt look good.

Do I have to stream a specific game genre and get a niche to be successful? I kind of wanted to stream any type of game for fun

>>8716452
those are called variety streamers. it's a lot harder to break out and become successful there since so many other streamers (facecam and vtuber) are all variety streamers. but it's possibly doable. Nijisanjis and Holos are basically variety streamers.

would you guys mind telling me which voice is more appealing to listen to if i posted a vocaroo? i want to design around it

>>8717164
sure

somebody has the /asp/ discord invite?

>>8706613
you know they read here right? be a little bit more cautious when you identify yourself in the future

Can /asp/ put me on blast and tell me whether you guys would listen to a male chuuba sing like I do

https://voca.ro/1asC8L7sLTdw

>>8715143
I will send one later

>>8717419
I totally would, very cute voice IMO.

>>8717360
send Lance a DM on twitter

>>8717419
Yeah, just work on your breath support to have a strong through line, and try to release any tension in your lower jaw and throat. That'll help with vocal production. Sounds good, anon!

>>8717419
you'd make a good catboy

>>8717536
are you talking about the guy with the cyberpunk stuff on his face or someone else? (im sorry, im regular poster but i dont know too much ppl here yet)

>>8717887
yeah, that dude. perma smirk on his face and eyemask. he advertised himself in /wvt/ as a contact you can reach out to.

thanks a lot anon!!

>>8714702
Swallow your saliva and then force a voice out, it proceeds from there.

If I wanted to get a rigged model with art, how much are we looking at price wise for it?
I heard snuffy said she dropped her stimulus for her original model, but is that the baseline price or because she got a full 3D model?

>>8717966
Lolichama...

>>8721152
Depends on the rigger. Depends on if it's full body or just half. Depends on how many animations you want.
Also 3D is not cheaper than a good Live 2D by any means, so don't be fooled by the extra dimension.

>>8721755
**Meant to phrase it as a good live 2d is not cheaper than 3d teehee

>>8721152
it really depends on the quality and the artists. but i spent close to $1300 for my live2d. art and rigging together.

recording this on a like 10 year old USB mic, and my voice sounds crustier on stream because of nvidia RTX but thoughts?
english isn't my first language so i'm always a bit self conscious i mumble over words or my german accent coming out, any advice on that is much appreciated

>>8723041
THIS VOICE IS PURE SEX.

>>8723041
Your voice is perfectly fine don't know why you're looking for advice, unless you're just fishing for compliments

>>8723785
Nah, I'm genuinely looking for ways I can improve on stumbling or clarity with my words, especially when I'm 3+ hours into a stream

>>8723983
that just takes practice. your voice is fine though. probably one of the better ones.

>>8723983
In that case, listening back a bit more carefully, it does sound like you slur/mumble a bit, I'm no expert but I've found consciously trying to open your mouth fully when speaking helps enunciate some words

>>8724149
Guess I'll have to do voice reps then. Thanks, anon

>>8726536
Just to be clear, it's only very slightly noticable, hence why I didn't mention it the first time round until you specifically said you wanted some in-depth advice. Like the other anon said, it's already miles ahead of most others

>>8726536
Just do stream reps and you'll be doing voice reps at the same time. The earlier you start the more you can do.

>>8706613
Don't worry about it. Prism has meno and luto.

How do I break 20 viewers?

>>8717419
I like it, good job but get a better mic

>>8731821
Congrats on having double digit viewers.

>>8731821
Make songs for your viewers like Corpse
Make art for your viewers like Koragi
Love your viewers the most, and they will reward you.

>>8731821
One of the best things for my viewership has been getting raided by people who have similar personalities or content as me. Hang out in chat and interact with people like you, raid them when you can if you're brave enough. Don't just use them though, you have to be actively fostering a sense of community between your viewers and them.

>>8732526
has good advice too. Make people feel like they're a part of something.

>>8732459
thanks but i want more
>>8732526
i'll think about that
>>8732634
but i don't want their viewers. the raids end up incestuously passing the same viewers a clique back and forth. i want fresh new viewers loyal to me.

>>8706052
short answer: it's overpriced and a bit overkill but will be good for streaming

long answer: the parts in that build are overpriced for just streaming. the 3080, power supply, and windows are especially expensive. they also don't list any model types for any component besides the cpu, cpu cooler and case so you're paying to get probably the cheapest possible hardware that meet the listed part. if you want to save money, you can get a lower wattage power supply and a 3070 at most. personally, i wouldn't get a prebuilt from this website since i'd like to know what specifically is in my computer and would rather go to a website that does list their components like cyberpower or ibuypower.

>>8735122
>the raids end up incestuously passing the same viewers a clique back and forth. i want fresh new viewers loyal to me.
this is why you network and get raided by people from other circles
a lot of /wvt/ chuubas raid each other which causes what you just mentioned and has been seen in analytics posts in the past, but if you make friends with people outside of the circle and they raid you, that is a whole new group of eyes that hasn't seen your stream yet

https://voca.ro/1knjaVY44JwM
Would appreciate any and all feedback!
>>8723041
I think you sound nice. Your voice has a smooth, mature quality to it, but you don’t sound old or anything like that. I didn’t hear any hint of an accent, for what it’s worth.

>>8736305
nerdy bookworm, librarian type. don't go too hard on the fantasy though.

>>8736359
Thanks, anon, I appreciate it! I’m not a very quiet person, so I hope that’ll help make me a bit less one-dimensional.

>>8737245
the point is to really just start making content. you can no cam stream right now. too many /asp/ies end up wasting months talking about their design and changing things left and right. before you know it, half the year has gone by and they're still designing their character or coming up with lore without a single stream.

>>8737441
Just gotta hop in and get to it. Doesn't matter how scuffed it is. I started with literal clip art and it was fine. Just go for it, anon, get in there and make the content you want to make.

I’m starting to focus on numbers too much especially since I see so many popular chuubas everywhere, and I feel down because my numbers are starting to plateau as well
Need to go back to not caring and just having fun

>>8738553
more like you need to figure out what more you can be doing to grow if you're stagnating, but be reasonable about it

>>8736305
You have a mild case of nasally sounds going on, but if that doesn't bother you then the "nerd" typecast is fine. Do me a favor though, give me your best ikemen impression.

just did a test stream and someone watched and actively chatted almost the entire time, it felt weird but it was fun

>>8740980
If you are who I think you are, I meant to tune in, but was distracted. Hope it went well! Were you playing GG Strive, by chance?

>>8741075
I don't think I'm the person you're thinking of but thanks for the well wishes, I was playing genshin for like 30 minutes

>>8741364
Drop your links next time! Glad it went well, though

>>8735122
Shill yourself on discords for games you’re playing. Get involved in communities for games you frequent as your Vtuber.

how do you discover new vtuber groups when starting out, is there like a secret discord society that you have to get invitation to? Or do people just join discord servers of other vtubers

>>8744480
>how do you discover new vtuber groups
what are you looking for when you say vtuber groups? an agency? twitch team? just a group of other vtubers who try to leech off each other?

Give this cute China-Tuber some love, Anons!

Lmao.

sorry for english

I have no art skills. looking to commission an l2d and rigging. a lot of them come with [3] expressions and [2] animotions, but the pacific numbers change on each comm. there doesnt' appear to be standard.

whats the most importante expressions and animotions to have?

>>8746334
I would say the basic emotions are the most important. Happy, Sad, Angry, things like that.
Animations are extremely hit and miss. Most of the time they don't look good and add little. So I'd say use your own discretion for your character there if there's something you'd need it to be able to do.

apparently today is vocaroo day, the mic is a pretty solid one but I own it for non-chuuba reasons.

>>8753373
and throw in an additional one from a saved clip
https://voca.ro/18GnvacOi3W4

Hey friends. I have a monotone deep voice and I was wondering whether it would be too boring for streams. Any other critique is also greatly appreciated. Recoeding on a phone mic. God bless

https://voca.ro/1eEPTaW799ZL

>>8753373

You’ve got to drink bro I can hear your mouth really bad.

Nice voice though I love to hear someone not American.

>>8759424

Hissy s’s once again but it’s a phone mic so.

What did you say your concept was? Did you say priest…

>>8759764
Priest or doctor concept. Was the enunciation of the whole audio reel a bit hard to hear? Thanks for the response

>>8759424
Comfy voice, would listen to talking about stuff.

How the fuck do you determine what your selling points are? My regulars say they stay for the comfy vibes but 90% of my clips are shrieking gremlin laughs and I don't know which way to lean

>>8759620
Yea it was moreso just finishing my lunch so didn't have anything on hand to drink, but otherwise cheers.

>>8753373
I'm going to be streaming some leveling on WoW classic now if anyone happens to be interested.

Is there a way to copy your blocklist on Twitter to another account?

>>8763953
i dont remember to be honest, maybe you need to do that manually

>>8764115
Well shit

>>8750784
Apparently China isn't against shitting in the streets if what I heard was true

>>8759424
cute comfy voice, fitting for a priest or doctor, would sex also

>>8654596
honest question here,

how big is the disadvantage for men compared to women Vtubers? Thank you.

>>8766708
you need to have an actual personality and some skill in being an entertainer/presenter. you can't easy mode it by just being a cute girls and making cute sounds.

>>8766708
We have it argument every week.
TLDR: Males have it a lot harder since the current vtuber userbase in the west are lonely males and people prefer watching real twitch streamers instead of anime man unless they provide something unique.

>>8760139
If you go priest I’ll gosling so hard.
You’re enunciation was fine I missed it and closed the tab and couldn’t be bothered to reopen it.

Hey /asp/, I'm new to this thread and wondering what advice I should be following if I'm only wanting to do this shit casually. I'm literally on step 0 of becoming vtube, still working out a character design that I can post a description of, but I can't draw for shit and haven't been able to find an artist who can help me with at least getting a base design/reference sheet.

My motivation for this is not to make this into a career. I already have two careers; a full-time civilian job and soon-to-be reservist in my country's military. I'm not fantasizing about being a known content creator, making money, meeting my oshis, or have a huge fanbase. Literally, I just want to have a cool design to use for online accounts instead of the same anime pfp I've had for years. I want to use a Live2D in occasional streams or videos with friends, and to have a hobby that involves meeting/networking with others. Honestly, I could probably go without streaming myself and still be happy just having the model for other friends to use when I play with them if they're streaming.

So a lot of the advice I've seen about how to do your stream reps, avoiding IRL info, and planning out weekly content just doesn't fit with me. I do want to be entertaining and to improve, but I know that my priorities have to remain on IRL shit, so I want to know what I can focus on to at least make for a passable stream or online persona.

Some additional info about my character idea:
> Envisioned design is male chuuba with animal ears & tails
> Not super masculine, but not androgynous either, more just pretty boi aesthetic if possible
> brown debuff cuz I'm latino irl and want to keep the debuff in virtual cuz fuck it
> Literally undecided on name, might use real name/current username or might make brand new name

On that last point, my usernames have always been a variation of my IRL name and I have no idea if I should keep it like this for chuuba or if I need to get used to a completely different name and make new accounts for everything. Since I'm planning to be forever 2view/noview male indie I don't really care about being super secretive with my personal life.

>>8766708
I guess the disadvantage depends on how basic you are really.
Not really an authority on the issue since I only have 32 subs in ~4 months but I do try to make myself stand out.

>>8766708
I think it's a self fulfilling prophecy. Obviously if you're benchmarking yourself against any holomember, you're going to feel like a failure. That's the most well known vtuber agency in the world.

There are tons of female 2views on Twitch as well as males. Have clear and realistic expectations for what you want to achieve, as well. If you're expecting a thousand followers overnight, you're going to be let down. But if you want to make good content, and don't mind streaming to only a few people to start, you'll leave the 2view world behind.

I don't think the male debuff is real in the way people think it is. It's a case of misplaced expectations. The same audience that wants to watch Gura make cute noises while dying in a game probably isn't the same audience for your content. Your audience might not even know about vtubers yet! It's your job to find and connect with the audience that will resonate with your content.

>>8766959
If you're just doing it as a hobby, it really doesn't matter. Your hobby is your hobby, do what makes you happy and don't rely on feedback from a bunch of anons who might have different goals than you do.

Art is probably the easiest thing, really. You can frankenstein a character by copying and pasting various parts of characters you like and creating a reference image that way. Then give it to a fairly cheap artist to put it together in a render. You can take that render to a more skilled artist later to get the full model afterwards done in the skilled artist's style.

Only thing that would help is taking improve classes and speech classes. Might be safe or might not depending on where you are because of covid, but you might be able to take some online. At its core, vtubing is just being an entertainer on stream with a virtual avatar. So you just need to practice on speaking well and being entertaining.

>>8750632
>>8758137
Anyone here fits these?

>>8766959
I'm not sure what you're trying to ask for here. "I want advice but I don't really want to put in effort and have no desire to make it". Or do you want to make a name for yourself but in a way that doesn't take any time out of your life otherwise or something?
If you just want an anime OC you can do that on your own. If you want easy popularity, I dunno, scrap your entire design and make a big tittied girl and hope people don't get hard filtered by your voice.
You don't need any real advice if you don't care in the first place. I'm not saying you or anyone starting out should treat this as more than a "hobby" either, but you seem to be set on not wanting to 'make it' at all.

>>8767403
I guess I just view "advice on how to be a better/entertaining vtuber" as different from "advice on how to be a popular vtuber". I'm not saying they're mutually exclusive, but I have to assume that some advice is for the latter and not the former.

But I've also only ever put out a dozen videos or so in about as many years, so I'm honestly the last authority to decide that.

>>8767841
Play games you want to play and/or want to show. Stick to some minimalist amount of kayfabe if only to having something to fall back on if you need to inject some life into whatever you're streaming. Offer your own spin on whatever experience you're dealing whenever possible.
Don't worry about connections, or frequency, or presentation, or anything to actually get people in the door in your case, I guess.

>>8767841
you need to be entertaining in order to be popular, but not the other way around. the biggest difference between an entertaining hobbyist vtuber and a popular one is that the popular one puts as much if not more focus on networking and marketing.

is a french accent a good selling point?

>>8768495
it can be a buff but really depends on how you deliver the lines more than the accent itself.

>>8768495
Are you going to be vTuber Gilles de Rais?

>>8768549
mmh what would that entail?
medieval rp? vtuber serial killer keyfabe?

>>8768495
It could be, depending on your voice

Is there a way to export a video with a transparency from vTuberStudio without any kind of addon? Or do they just record their phone and use some kinda program to remove the background?

>>8768781
think that only works for OBS capture because of the way it feeds data to the stream. for others, you'll need to green screen or chroma key it

>>8768781
backgrounds > color picker > transparent in capture ON
It'll pick up in OBS and other recording software

bruh my friends are shitting up my chat and just being assholes to me. never tell your friends about you being a vtuber worst mistake I have made

>>8769027
This is why I haven't. There's a few I trust who I've told, but mostly they just passed my links along to people that they know who would be interested, rather than watching or chatting themselves. Much safer.

>>8766708
There's no debuff for being male, but you're missing the female buff. Whether all women are bi, or whether it's only bi women who go into art and vtubing, I don't know, but women seem to prefer female chuubas too, possibly because they're less aggressively flirty?

That said, so long as you take your interests seriously, and can actually put in the work, it's not a problem you can't overcome.

>>8769027
you've debuffed your channel to nothing but irl friends and inside jokes that no new viewer will understand or get. congrats.

>>8769027
Burn it down. It’s already too late anon. Just restart and have a fresh slate. You’ve done enough reps that you can do it right this time. Don’t make the same mistakes.

>>8766708
You actually have to be good at video games.
Girls being bad is played for laughs because 'it's cute'.

>>8768840
Argh, that's what I was afraid of.

>>8768843
Oh duh! I can just local record in OBS with transparency and then shove that clip into Premiere.

Thanks anons.

>>8769640
>I can just local record in OBS with transparency
OBS can't do that. if you leave it blank, it's going to record a solid black background to the video you output

>>8769463
they dont even say inside jokes. their just trying to be funny mean like hahaha your model and name sucks change it. I should just fucking ban them at this point.

>>8769971
Yes you should, and tell them offline to stop being such assholes

>>8769971
>new viewer checks out your stream
>chat is full of harassment and insults
>they leave
why did you think telling your irl friends about your vtuber streams was a good idea?

maybe those aren't your friends anon

>>8770105
one of them is the other im starting to think not so much. I'm giving them a talking to. If they dont change by next stream im fucking banning them. I dont care if they have subbed to me

>>8769931
Ah, right but I could use a green background and key it out still, yeah?

>>8769971
Looks like you just need better friends anon

On a side note, I'm still a bit lost over which time slot would be best for some streams I do, namely the ones that are actually productive in some way. I've experimented with Tuesday night and Sunday afternoon but neither one seems to draw a lot of people in. Any ideas? It might be that I'm too small though.

>>8769027
I'm so sorry to hear that ;_;
All of the irl friends that know that I vtube have been really cool I'm my chats and a few of them even subbed
Do you friend like vtubers in the first place?

>>8770238
yeah, that's why even the big holos and nijis green screen their stuff

>>8770503
TY anon!

I'm playing around with OBS and trying to figure things out and I cant understand anyhing. Am I just retarded?

>>8770614
yes. read the fucking manual or look up some tutorials on youtube. what are fuck are you doing?

>>8770614
Maybe? Watch tutorial videos and follow along step by step. What specifically do you not understand?

>>8770836
Nothing, I'm just stupid and overwhelmed by this streaming setup thing.

>>8770921
Compartmentalize your problems. If it seems overwhelming, break the task down into very small, specific steps. Then learn how to do that thing, and move to the next. This way you won't get overwhelmed.

>>8770921
We're here to help, anon. Every successful streamer struggled (or still struggles) with the basics from time to time.

No stream will ever be perfect, and they rarely need to be. Viewers are forgiving and fucking up on stream can be turned into memes and stuff.

You got this!

>>8654596
>>8654596
I'm a bit durnk but I'll let you have my thgouths, so, what if, I was like pretending to be a super american American, but I'm actually not and have not been to burgerland befroe but I'm the most american american who speaks of AMERICA and JESUS and HAMBURGERS and FOOTBOL, but then im not American, so too American for America.

>>8773805
sounds good but how american is american?
America is a big place so maybe decide which regional stereotype you want to base your character on

>>8773805
if you dig hard into the parody like Bandit Keith from yugioh, it could work. but that requires a lot of energy for overexaggerated acting every stream.

>>8774121
i call him TEXAS STEVE.

he is STEVE from TEXAS.

he shoots GUNS

eats BURGERS

RANCH MAN

IF YOU MUST AMERICAN, MAXIMUM AMERICAN, think, I've been to like, my own capital pretending to be a misinformed american and it was fun. think it may be fun for people to quiz me and me vehemently being american despite not being american. I'm sorry for being drunk and not sane. but, I think super Americanism,. wait, its like that'...Metal Wolf Chaos. That's it, so American, it has to be from somewhere thats not american.

>>8774216
that would make you the 6th texan chuuba from /here/ i think

>>8774216
pick a different region
bayou steve
florida man steve
northwest steve
bastan steve
joisey steve

>>8774432
vagina steve? there's a vagina state. I can sound pretty american but not specifically like american like oh he's from boston cuz im not actually an american.

Is there such a thing as a florida accent?

>>8774516
florida is a state of mind

>>8774432
this, if you know how to act like a total lunatic all the time pick florida man

>>8774516
If I'm around family and drink too much my repressed Boston accent comes out.

>>8774565
I can talk faster then my brain thinks, so that makes me dumb, does dumb creates lunaticity?

and no im not a dumb i need money guy I just like being american and loud and stupid

by teh way, thank you guys. I will...you know what's the most generic floridian name? I need an ame that's like idk. Flordia Steve...Florida Bob. Flordia Hank.

>>8774660
just call yourself GatorMan

Question: do you have to consecutively achieve an average of 3 viewers per stream over the course of 30 days in order to fulfill the requirment for Affiliate, or do you only need to hit 3 viewers in a single stream over the span of 30 days?

what should my design be?

>>8776731
Consecutive average of 3+ viewers over a 30 day period

>>8777600
I *just* hit three viewers for this stream and it has already been a month. I have to do this every stream for four months...

>>8766738
And even with that, it's difficult. You need to find a niche that's good enough for your growth and/or to be in the right place at the right time. Not like lightning a bottle, but a degree of luck is needed if you don't have marketing/networking skills or someone with those skills assisting you.

Still, what anon mentioned there comes first.

>>8777871
are you brave enough to link your stream and get feedback on your content?

>>8777361
do you have any ideas whatsoever? nobody is gonna be able to just give you a fitting design with no info

>>8777996
Yes, actually, despite my better judgement, hah. Though I already have a knack of what I need to fix, I'd like to hear more objective perspective on the whole thing.
http://twitch.tv/pommemade
>>8777945
I've just started to do my rounds on social media and its only with vtubers that I actively watch and am involved in their community, so I don't really have a following where I can capitalize on potential viewers there. It's why I haven't linked my streams much.

>>8777871
Why for four months? All you'd really bead is a good sized raid to hit you once and stream enough and you should hit affiliate
Pretty much everyone that links themselves here gets affiliate pretty quickly, anon; just drop your link

>>8778513
Four weeks, sorry! Brain fart.

>>8778598
Ah, that makes more sense
The requirement isn't that all your streams need to be 3+ average viewers, but that the "average viewers" number when you look at channel analytics is at three. So, as I mentioned, if you got and held a raid of say, 15 people for an hour or two then that would significantly boost your average

You all are going on about this wrong, here's how to be a successful vtuber.

1. Become an artist
2. Become friends with Ina
3. Wait

Try that and you'll do it.

>>8779042

>>8778396

>>8764980

Thank you for the response!

>>8778053
I want something that I can feel confident in using, which is pretty vague, and that's exactly the problem. I feel like I'd have an easier time picking one out of a set like the corporate ones do, my sense of how I want to represent myself is totally crippled beyond that.

>>8788891
well, pick a few existing male (or female, just pick a character gender) avatars of streamers you like and think you vibe with and try to pull out common threads from them ie. sharp vs round eyes, long vs short hair, dark vs light color schemes, modern vc futuristic vs fantasy clothing etc. That might be a good starting point to get you on the right path

>>8740604

Sorry for the wait! Had a long day. I appreciate your thoughts.

>>8654596
So while my Character is getting chopped up to make it Live 2d viable I got a few questions for /asp/.
Firstly, while I'm waiting I've been attempting to make my own transitions, starting soon screens, etc is it alright to post that here and get some feedback on concept execution.
Second, due to my work schedule I straight up won't be able to stream consistently, but in my free time I could make a handful of videos and set them to release while I'm gone. Are there any Vtubers that are primarily video posters, and less so streamers?

>>8668713
So while i'm to lazy(still gonna do it) to make a new windows profile and get a new separate browser, I didn't even think of the steam family share thing. Thats gonna save a lot of cash. Its also warming to know im such a literal who that I couldn't find myself, but i'll keep checking. Thanks Larp Manager!

>>8790470
>make my own transitions, starting soon screens, etc is it alright to post that here and get some feedback on concept execution.
sure, but you should honestly stop and just start streaming as your png to get experience
>make a handful of videos and set them to release while I'm gone. Are there any Vtubers that are primarily video posters, and less so streamers?
Lobster started that way, but streaming is basically what the core part of being a vtuber is. but there's plenty of pre-recorded vtubers out there doing decently for their size.

I'm thinking if you went a touch.. deeper maybe? it would work out really well for you. There's something about the way you're talking that's close to really good but not quite there and I haven't got the experience to pinpoint what exactly it is.

>>8769027
Sucks dude, don't let them stop you though. You should get better friends if they are that unsupportive.

>>8791322

>sure, but you should honestly stop and just start streaming as your png to get experience
I plan on actually getting some experience this weekend and the following days as I recently got caught in a rona contact trace, and im out of work for 14 days. Thinking a slower chill game with atmosphere and lore, so i can practice talking, probably Starsector

Is this lobster RETSU? googled for lobster vtuber and thats what I found, if its not this vtuber has a vibe I can rock to at least.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRENeYDQX1Y Still new to the whole graphic design, video editing, sound design thing, but thats why im looking for feedback. Concept is a old AI that was designed to read and make spark notes for history books, but somehow has gotten loose and is now collecting video game lore.

yeah, that's her. started out locally recording streams and uploading them to youtube before transitioning fully to live twitch streaming.

Maybe when I eventually do a drinking stream it'll come out. Though I do a pretty convincing imitation of one, even sober. Maybe I'll make it a points redeem or something.

So you guys are telling me that streaming with an anime avatar is a real, relatively profitable side gig anyone could be doing?
Am i just too old to see it working so easily?
What about all those 0views that are all over the streaming platforms?

Say, i walk up to 100 people on the street and start a conversation.
Assuming 10 people find me interesting to speak to - this sounds way easier to find "audience".

You can't just "walk up" to people on the internet.
I don't think there is a deliberate way to find an audience.
You just have to be lucky doing the right shit at the right time and catch the attention of those 10 strangers.
And you have to be actively trying as well. You never know the chance until you're there.
So all in all it sounds like chore, especially for people with no real skills or talents to showcase.

Every person is "unique", and some other people will find this person interesting to listen to, assuming we are talking about streamer-viewers.
Imagine 100 people. All have "correct" streaming setups: avatars, mics, mixers, OBS settings, overlays etc etc etc.
All identical quality, only different person behind the avatar.
They all start streaming on some streaming platform.
Some people start getting viewers, some still at 0. This starting butch of viewers is only determined by luck and i can't be proven otherwise.
So, logically, there can't be natural growth from zero to hero.

I don't even know why i decided to blog-post like that.
Sorry. Here is a picture of a cute cat.

>>8778396
The following is just my opinion.
First of all, i believe that avatar matters the least for starting streamers.
Second of all, I've spent around 5 minutes watching your Risk of Rain stream and around 1 minute of the recent VR game that i know nothing about.

I believe the streamer with a male voice have to be above average at video games (preferably very good at them), if it's the content of the stream.
I saw a lot of speedrunners who got attention from their speedruns and now are very successful variety streamers.
In other words, if you're great at some game, the community around that game could notice you if you're also active in that community.
You seem to be doing VR, so if i were you i would try to somehow connect with people from VR communities.
I don't think it's possible to gain an audience from the internet as a whole, you have to narrow it down to communities and go from there.

Now, about the voice and the way you speak. I know it may be not helpful, but i wouldn't listen to you more. Compared to streamers i watch it is not "catchy".
To improve your tone and the way you communicate you may try speaking to yourself in the mirror.
You also sounded somewhat stiff.

This text might be a bunch of bullshit, don't take it too seriously. You are you, remember to have fun more than anything.

I honestly have no idea what I'm doing with audio.

Is there some setting I should be using to reduce/remove the sound of me breathing into my mic? Is it just so noticeable because I'm not using a quality mic in the first place?

>>8799394
There are OBS filters like noise suppression, noise gate and limiter to help with the noise.
I apply those to my mic.
Also compressor and gain, but those do different things.

>So you guys are telling me that streaming with an anime avatar is a real, relatively profitable side gig
Yes
>anyone could be doing?
No
>You can't just "walk up" to people on the internet.
Yes, you can. People congregate on the internet in the same way they do on the street, but far more densely packed and arranged in groups organized by interest.
>You just have to be lucky
I think luck is a far smaller factor than you think. You are marketing yourself. This is a skill and doesn't fall down to chance.
>So all in all it sounds like chore, especially for people with no real skills or talents to showcase
Exactly. A vtuber needs to understand social media, they must be an entertainer and they must have skills.
>Every person is "unique"
Completely wrong. Every person is not special. This is extremely evident in an environment where you are competing for views with everyone else on the platform.
> All have "correct" streaming setups...All identical quality
Also wrong. There are very large differences between vtubers. Model quality, audio quality, internet quality. Their economic condition and the amount of energy they can bring to their stream are directly connected.
Not to mention, shitloads of vtubers are well known long before their debut. I watched a debut of a popular artist who got 8k viewers on her first day. I've never seen her with fewer than 300 viewers. This is a medium anyone can join, don't think that means everyone starts from 0. If any big celeb decided to start vtubing, you wouldn't be competing with them, they already have their viewerbase.

Man, you're literally in a thread full of people who haven't made it and are talking about how to. Maybe people pop in after getting signed, but do you think anybody here is saying how easy it is? Read this shit and tell me it's easy.

Basically, you're a fucking idiot.

>>8799394
Move the mic to the side of your mouth rather than right in front, add a noise gate to keep anything below speaking volume out, add a compressor to even out loudness (makes quiet stuff audible and reduces loud peaks) and put a limiter at about -10dB.
That's the super basic stuff I do at least.

>>8799798
Rude.

I got worked up, I apologize.

>>8798510
>So you guys are telling me that streaming with an anime avatar is a real, relatively profitable side gig anyone could be doing?
no

Please watch this cute dropbear vtuber debut guys.

Marketing is not some magical wand, at least i don't think so.
It's there to gain an edge, but doesn't solve everything by itself.
>Completely wrong. Every person is not special.
That is exactly what i meant, hence the quotation marks.

I might be just replying for the sake of it.

Why would someone do it by the way?

>Marketing is not some magical wand
Marketing is a hammer that you use to beat the skulls of the unwilling until they finally click your link. It's not like
> "Hey, check me out, I'm streaming~"
It's more like, can you make a meme about yourself? Can you integrate into a vtuber collective? Can you clip yourself and post it to TikTok? Can you identify your audience and target places where they go, or are you assuming who your audience will be and posting in the wrong places? Finally, can you do this regularly without getting banned from wherever you're posting?

Trusting the twitch algorithm to deliver anyone to you is like hoping someone will knock on your front door and ask about it.

There are people, "clippers" who clip based on their own whims. These people generate huge traffic to the clipped channel. I am posting here because of them, partly. You can do this. If you take your best content and reduce it to a five second clip that makes someone laugh, they might be interested enough to watch you and wait to laugh again. This 'is' marketing and another type of content generation.

>>8800190
The thing is, "luck" is oftentimes the product of a significant amount of work and effort to put yourself in a position to get "lucky" in the first place.

You have to create opportunities for yourself if you're ever going to take them. Nobody magically stumbles into success, but someone who puts themselves in the best place to succeed has a chance to actually break out from the pack.

This is a good one.
Thanks for the information.

>>8799247
No problem, thank you for the advice! That was my first time playing Risk of Rain and it was rather late so it was pretty overwhelming for me at first. I open up more further along the stream when I'm more comfortable with the mechanics and with a few chatters egging me on. I understand the deal about my voice though, I've been looking to do some voice training and have a playlist created to help with my problem areas such as intonation and enunciation. Though I will admit I'm much more energetic during my boxing. My abilities playing flatscreen video games are sorely lacking so I don't believe I'll draw an audience from speed running or challenges, however I am currently joining a number of VRC Discord servers that I plan to utilize as soon as I have my model.
