Should I be using clips or highlights? Is there a better choice between the two?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11488221
>clips
shorter, better for social media tweets and tiktoks
>highlights
longer, better for extended segments that go beyond 1 minute
functionally they are the same thing, but clips are just more versatile when it comes to being spread around social media since viewers have short attention spans

Are viewers interested in 'watching' a Vtuber gradually improve in singing/musical talent, or am I better off just doing that stuff in my spare time and showing it off once I'm at an acceptable skill level? This is starting off with no experience whatsoever if that changes anything.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11490400
i guess it depends on how you sound right now and if you have enough soul for people to believe in you
obviously really good singers will stand out immediately but if your personality is engaging enough then people might stick around to watch you go from SOUL to true soul

There's a lot of actual BAD singing vtubers out there that have a kayfabe of being an idol. But people tune in anyways and enjoy them. Nina Saotome went from okay to amazing within a span of the year thanks to her singing lessons and training off screen so it's not like it hasnt been done before.

That's a new excuse.

Obviously you need a bit of money for a model but I'm fairly sure Kabhaal started with a PNG. Little_S is still just PNGs, Kitty is a PNG that's rigged (ridiculously cheap compared to Live2D), me2oon is a fucking vroid hoodie, and shxtou started as a PNG, Mar started off using a game rip of a Kirby mdoel.

Aside from Krimbo everyone here bought their model but no one bought fucking RTs and Likes, that's such a bad excuse

[Anonymous No.]

>>11507792
the first one is incredible generic and there's already an /asp/ie chuuba that basically looks like that but green. second one is better. i don't know what you mean by "messy" because it can either end up as background noise or overly distracting.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11507770
Look up jp artists on skeb and see if they accept commissions off skeb. I did that with my png and I'm really happy with this one artist I found.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11507862
when i say messy i mean extra strands that flip outward near the bangs, nothing too excessive.
but yea basically the end result will end up being a combination of both, with a completely different top underneath the coat. her color scheme is black/red. it def is a bit generic, but i'm coming from a vroid so anythings an improvement desu, and i really enjoy the average animu face so i kinda like it
id also use the 2nd one if it werent for the coat being identical to a booth asset so i decided to have the artist combine the two styles essentially

[Anonymous No.]

>>11490400
Definitely! Look at Ame's streams.
You don't need to be good at singing. What matters is entertainment and SOUL. Do songs that you have fun with on stream! Make it fun.
Plus others LOVE to see the growth over time.
I recommend taking a peak into the ame threads while she's doing karaoke. It might help give courage and confidence!

[Anonymous No.]

>>11507792
That other anon said its generic about the first pic but I like it. Lain also got something similar and I love her design too. Maybe some accessories to make the design stand out, depending on the theme you're going for

[Anonymous No.]

>>11507792
I like both, they look cute. I recommend you try looking at gacha characters and implementing elements you like from them. Gacha characters are designed for maximum appeal and there's no shame in taking it from them. Your jacket mode looks really cool and unique too.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11507909
What did you say to the JP artist to get what you want from them? did you drop a lot of reference pics?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11508132
oo i've never seen lains model before, i really like it. it definitely has a similar aesthetic that i am looking for. her suspenders gave me an idea of adding like, techwear/cyberpunk looking buckles in some places, across her chest perhaps. stuff like this makes me wish i was a good artist lol REEEE
thank you for your feedback anon
>>11508208
thank you, i really like the cuteness of her look too. especially combined with the tired eyes/dark circles shes got lol
gacha characters are a great reference though you're right. i sent the artist some girls frontline characters as references for her (updated) coat, since unfortunately the coat in the pic is a rip from a booth asset. i want her shirt and coat to have the high neckline going on regardless though, i may check out some more games for references too desu

[Anonymous No.]

>>11508243
Sent them a description of what the key things I want and sent them like 3 references. For the face/expression, hair and what kind of clothing I want. Maybe I'm easily satisfied but I really loved the sketches they sent me (requested only slight changes)

[Anonymous No.]

>>11508307
Arknights and GFL both have very good tech wear you can reference. Both games are modern and yet feels great to look at. I'd suggest you sit down and start looking at their PNGs and start circling elements you like from them. It'll help a lot in trying to figure out what you want from your chuuba in the long run in terms of design while making it look unique compared to the others.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11508307
I'm glad it helped even a little, I really love her design a lot and honestly wanted to see a western chuubas take on something similar so good luck

[Anonymous No.]

>>11508469
thats pretty much what i sent to the artist, just made a sort of infographic with all kinds of refs that i liked the style of. mdr and aek from gfn were 2 big ones, and then just a bunch of random techwear anime art i found on /r/streetmoe, had a bunch of really cool designs. accessories are a part i struggle with though, i don't want the design to be too noisy but i also don't want it to look boring, it's a struggle
>>11508505
i'm glad to hear it, originally i wasn't too interested in having a design where her chest/tummy are exposed but the tattoo and belts give such a nice touch. seeing characters with a similar style is nice.
also after looking at lain i remembered my characters going to have split black/red hair kek my chars overall look is more moe in my opinion though so hopefully its not too samey kek

[Anonymous No.]

>>11508820
I think you'll be fine, you seem to be putting a lot of effort into making it look good.

i'm really excited too no matter how it turns out desu, going to be such an improvement from a vroid, and looks so much better already even at this stage than i imagined it would!

im adding

>high neck shirt (idk how to describe this adequately, pic related was a ref for the shirt i sent though)
>more stray hairs in the bangs
>black/red split hair
>large/baggy coat overtop but still shows the underclothes/tattoo/shorts
if you've got any suggestions for accessories, or places to get good ideas for such i'm open to suggestions, i really suck at that kinda thing. many of the ideas i had accessory wise seemed to clash with the style i was going for. i definitely want her to maintain her edgy/tired appearance though

[Anonymous No.]

What are my options for streaming on a PC with these specs?

CPU - AMD Phenom II X4 945 - 4 cores(?), 3 GHz
Graphics - GT 1030 1Gb
RAM - DDR3 8 Gb
OS - pirated Windows 7 Pro 64bit
I guess I also have a 5 GHz WiFi router for smoother ineraction between Android phone and PC.

Upgrading the PC isn't really an option - upgrading a CPU from 45nm to 14 nm requires me to also buy a new motherboard and a new DDR4 RAM (or so I was told).

Streaming badly, or not streaming. I found on my old rig that using a PNG and OBS, with minimal browser sources, you could effectively double the usage of your game, and that'd be a good benchmark.

So what can you run with under 50% GPU use?

help i accidentally made my model cunny

i was working on a full body reference and was using clip studios' 3D model fearure to make the side view, to make it match i had to make it 1.36 cm. i already started streaming with a half body version and i really like the design so there's no turning back now

Realistically a skeb can end up much worse. An artist on twitter at least stakes their career, I've seen people get outright traces from Skeb and there's nothing you can do about it whatsoever in the TOS. Skeb allows zero room for any kind of edits at all, you just end up with what you get.

gotta be REALLY fucking good

[Anonymous No.]

Pretty sure I wanna start as a png before splurging a full paycheck on a model.
Questions I have-
-Is it worth commissioning more than two states? Pretty much just thinking of a neutral and talking state, mouth open/closed. also is it common to commission PFP's and Banners, or does that just come naturally?
-software: ideally id like to just use whatever software that people use to make their png move/change/brighten whenever they speak. Gotta figure out what soft that is and how to use it. I already have experience with OBS, so we're good on that front.
-current working idea for the character is a cool kooky skeleton a la uncle death . I already have plenty of references, but is there anything else I should think through before trying to find an artist?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11547015
get a png, closed mouth open mouth is all you need. don't commission extra art for shit, just use your png as a placeholder.

>>11550523
>end up not as they should have been.
that's kind of the point of skeb. the creator of the service is an artist fed up with western commissioners constantly demanding changes, so he created skeb for that purpose. turns out a lot of JP artists also like that business model and don't like dealing with foreigners that constantly pester them with changes. you know what you're getting into with a skeb, so don't use skeb if you have something you need to make constant changes on.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11550657
>the creator of the service is an artist fed up with western commissioners constantly demanding changes

Not true

> western commissioners constantly demanding changes
This is the way a commission should work, to a degree. There's literally nothing wrong with it and it's typically part of the process with even higher-priced works, especially when it comes to character design.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11550914
to add to this a bit, another issue is that you're simply getting art, that's it. you aren't allowed to monetize it in any form (you likely won't get caught but it's against TOS) as the creator still holds the rights to it, and it shouldn't even be used on stream, only on social media and personal things. I do know a lot of artists don't care since people will flat out put in descriptions it's for stream, but both you and the artist can be banned from the service if caught.

i hate the fact that twitch obfuscates their data like this. if this removed account that hadn't streamed in a month, we'd get a much clearer picture. but buttwise mcgee who started a twitch account back in 2016 when overwatch released so he could get a beta key, streamed once, and never again is still included in the stats. saying a streamer is in the top 7% is useless as a metric because of this.

Does tiktok debuff your videos if you swear in them? I'm getting ~200 average views on a clip if I don't curse at all, and ~2 if I do. But I don't know if it checks the sound, or the subtitles, or what.

Just finished streaming working on schedule / video clips, and raided into someone suggested by chat.

He was fucking awful "Oh hi raiders, I've just finished my drink, so I'm going for a minute". Left the model on. No BRB screen, just walked away from his computer. No shoutout, despite pulling in more viewers than he had (9, to his 4).

Just, if my viewers watch this guy, then they obviously have no taste. Is that why they watch me?

>so and la going all the way down
>mi and re are the exact same pitch
With all due respect, this is horrible. Fret not, I started off horrible too, so I'm in a great position to give you some tips.

Here's some constructive criticisms:
(1) Not sure what it is, but you aren't enunciating your words clearly and it sounds like you have some sort of accent. Do pronunciation reps, practicing your vowels, singing slowly with more focus on how the words come out, etc. DO THIS ESPECIALLY IF YOU INTEND TO SING JAPANESE SONGS.
(2) Pitch pitch pitch. Practice matching pitch; use an online piano, press a note, and try to match it. If you can't tell whether you're hitting it, use tools or get a friend to help. (Tools: record using some software e.g. Adobe Audition and use the pitch detecting feature to see whether the you're on pitch.)
(3) Range: I don't know how you can't sing the song since it's only an octave wide... Increase your range by doing vocal exercises (going from your middle note to your lowest/highest, sustaining a decently high/low note, etc.)

It's bad. Really bad. But I was horrible for years too and slowly improved. Hope this helps. Maybe one day I'll come across a vocaroo showing your vocal improvement.

I don't tend to play the same game twice in the same week, instead varying my content between different general fields, and usually continuing with the same game once a week until I'm done with it. This has worked so far, but it may not be a suitable approach for someone who plays games primarily.

It took me a good couple of months to get the courage to actually stick with this regularly. I've been streaming daily now for about a week, to 20 followers, but I've still been averaging around 10 people who actually stick around and watch each stream for the past few. Feeling very optimistic that it's starting off so well, especially considering I've only had two actual friends who came to watch me and the rest have been total randos.
Just wanted to share some positive vibes, as these threads have been my only source of motivation and discussion, as I'm too shy for twitter/reddit/discord. Hopefully I can get over that with the confidence I get from streaming and small community I have somehow already accumulated and I will become a vtweeter in no time. Love you guys!

Much like >>11593637, I try to avoid playing the same game multiple times in a week. Mostly because I'm still small and growing, so casting my net wide to try and pull in more viewers (it's worked for two new regulars, who pop in for other games now). But you can use >>11593553 as a guesstimate, too.

You could definitely focus in on a game for a targetted stream week, and do a tonne of effort into it, but if any of your viewers aren't fans of the game, they'll stop coming, and you don't want them to form that habit.

The issue is with how Twitch and Youtube deal with copyright claims.

On Twitch, if they catch you using copyrighted music in a VOD, they'll mute the audio, but that's it. You can appeal, but might not be worth the effort.

On Youtube, if they catch you using copyrighted music (and their bot is better than Twitch's), then they'll alert the copyright holder. The copyright holder has options - they can claim the money, or DMCA strike you.
One of my videos I screwed up setting up Twitch Soundtrack, and included a copyrighted track. Th video was marked as inelgible for monetisation (not that my channel is in the first place), and ad money would go to the guy who made the track in the first place, but I didn't get a DMCA warning/takedown request

Taking a stupid example, if you're as rich as Mansa Musa, then make a group.

Find a few indies you vibe with. Invite them to a group with a backer who wants to see them all succeed, splurge on models, overlays, adverts/retweets/VA lessons for "the whole team" (this includes you). Make sure you have some overlap in timezones, but not fully. You can collab easily, but also raid into each other. Buy adverts for them, and your own account, and put them everywhere.

Bonus points if you can pick ones with a decent grasp on somewhere else. For example, one indie I follow on Twitter did tarot readings/teachings at a pagan convention (I think?) - she put an advert for herself into the programme.

If money's no object, do stupid stuff like that. Kongou could sponsor a martial arts tournament. Koopa either an adopt-a-reptile event, or a donation drive for maternity items. Atropa an advert in "Hunting Monthly Magazine".

If I had the cash, I would LOVE to do stupid shit like this. Pay to get an advert for Krimbo in the Superbowl half-time show. Sponsor a SpaceX launch with Maroony's face on the side.

good hardware. get a good mic, sound treatment for your room, decent hardware to run the games you want and an iphone for tracking.

invest everything into your model and expressiveness. don't bother with trinkets and addons and shit. don't spend money on dumb animations that you're going to forget to use or maybe use once a stream. get a good rigger who can rig facial expressions very well, especially the mouth. facial perspective while turning to the side. basically you want to invest the most amount of money on the parts that audiences will see most often.

commissioning fanart of yourself can help, but that takes a lot of time since artists can take up to a month to finish. but if you're planning on making a big splash, you can use that time to build up hype.

don't waste time on a debut. you see a bunch of vtubers debuting with a video they pay hundreds for, only to never touch it ever again because it was a debut video with a date that talks about meaningless lore and is never brought up again. just start streaming.

invest money you have into singing, voice acting, impromptu or stand up lessons. anything that helps you gain more presence on stage and work with your voice.

Okay, so money IS an object.

You LIED to us anon!

Good hardware - get a good camera, a good mic, and a good GPU. Make sure your internet's a good speed, and that you have good sound set-up around your room to minimize disruptions. Get some good games to play through, consider (maybe) some model edits for different ones. Get some good emotes, a nice mix, and ones you'd like to see used. You can use this along with the group idea - maybe you can do a multiplayer "everyone's first Stardew game" or something. Buy a few copies for your collabs.

Video editor is a good one, but make sure they're getting as much as possible out of your vids. Don't stop at just "make a highlight reel", you want as many clips to dump everywhere as you can. Maybe reach out to the clip pages, and try shilling yourself there. It might take some extras, not just the clip being good, but if you can afford it, then look at HoneyGoblin's incline
https://sullygnome.com/channel/honey_goblin/180

If you can afford it, maybe social media managers, to post clips everywhere as a grassroots. If you're posting the clips in 50 subreddits yourself, your account looks odd. If your mods are doing some, it looks less sus.

Even if you can't get a clipper account to do it, look into editors. Find small-time vtuber ones or find vtubers with Youtube accounts and see if they credit their editor in the bio or at the end of the video, typically they take on more than one streamer and may be available for hire. I'd start at the top and work your way down.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11622545
>I figure there’s no point trying to monetize thru Twitch until they offer you Partner
I've made thousands as an affiliate with about 4k of the 6k being from Twitch payouts, it's absolutely worth it but probably not at like 3 or 4 viewers. You've gotta realize Twitch viewers are used to this and will sit through ads, the only complaints I hear are from Youtube vtuber viewers that have a vtuber who switches to Twitch, otherwise I rarely hear people mention ads.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11622664
I've only just started getting payouts at affiliate, but it really feels magical getting even a little money for doing this. I would encourage that other anon to not wait for partner to monetize. You'll be surprised by how your viewers want to support you.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11622664
i can stress enough how bad it is to not take the affiliate deal if you're actually pulling in a decent amount of viewers or have a solid and active community. i grabbed the revenue of a few sub-50 viewer count streamers from people who had their info public, some monthly some total

while its not tons of money it's a lot to not get just because you wanted to wait to get Partner, which you might never reach since the the highest earner here hasn't had it in the 2 years they've streamed

The notion you'll only make enough for a twitch payout once you're partnered is basically saying "even at low-level partner youll barely be making 100 a month" which really isn't true as ive never missed a payout until the last 2 months when i slowed streaming. Again, don't take it as soon as you hit 3 viewer average but at least consider it once you get a steady 15 or so.

( If you want to do the math for subs, multiply it by 2.5 for USD and the bits are 100=1USD.)

as an addendum, its kind of hard to apply the same generation labels to /asp/ies that didn't really post too often in the thread
the first big gen was pretty easy because callie/bodega/teruteru/nelson all started streaming around the same time
it wasn't until about two-three months later that we got another group of chuubas sharing their beginning stream reps with bloom/atropa/pommemade/woozle

how do you make a tweet go viral? is it just dumb luck?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11657001
There's a few key things you need

>1
The Right Time. If you post at a time when twitter's dead, there's nobody there to see your tweet
>2
The Right Tags
If you use trending tags, you'll get promoted. If you use non-trending, you get debuffed. If you use the vtuber ones, you might get picked up by kitsune/revtweeter, which gets more eyes on you
>3
Be Funny. You actually need to have content that people like. Posting a blurred picture of the normal sky, with no commentary, isn't likely to go viral.
>4
Be Lucky. I've had one change of schedule post hit 1500 impressions. No idea what caused it, but it then meant that stream was an average of 150% normal viewers.

how often do you guys talk during video game cutscenes?

[Anonymous No.]

>>11657616
Depends. I try to avoid it, but for long cutscenes, especially when there's lots of cinematic cuts and the like, it's dull to sit through and watch, so I might provide commentary. I try to minimize it if I do speak, in case anyone's watching

I haven't opened up a new account, but I opened a new paypal, get it deposited into there, and then send it to my bank account. That way, it's much easier to track (for tax purposes) the cashflow.

WRT which is best, I've heard StreamElements has ways of preventing chargebacks, I think?

Atropa, or anyone else, where's a good place to start with tarot readings? I've had them in the past, mostly just as a way to help focus in on what's bothering me, but a lot of the sites for info are... uh... not put together by tech-literate people.

It's probably useless to start learning a new language right now in hopes it would increase your chances at a corpo audition, right? I haven't seriously tried, but I don't think getting to a conversational level of a language is a one year task.

Put stuff in the picture - date, time, channel, and game. This meakes it easier for people to see. All that space that's clouds? It's shit. That's dead air, nothing about it is useful.

Sort your capitalization and pacing
>patients and non Patients
patients and non-patients!
or
patients and non!
this keeps it shorter, and less is more

>I want to officialy invite you to a Horror themed Collab
I am inviting you to a horror-themed collab!

Again, capitals. Also, "I want to invite you" implies you will be inviting them in future. "I am inviting you" is more direct. Go further with "We request your presence in a horror-themed collab"

You /could/ play up the doctor angle here - "(Nitto) is a visiting specialist, and we will be performing a horror-themed collab in surgical room 3"

>Saturday 5pm GMT-3
First of all, use UTC, not GMT. GMT is a weird timezone - it's not always used. BST is observed in the UK in summer, and other countries in the timezone would use UTC
Secondly, use your own timezone as well - so 5pm MSK/8pm UTC. Don't use the +/-, because people are fucking stupid.

Final point - you can get around three hashtags before twitter shits the bed. Check whether any of the #smallstreamer tags are trending, and then consider tagging the game.

>>11681396
This is wrong. Putting it in the main tweet lowers engagement because Twitter hides it. Ignore this anon and put it in the replies, and probably in whatever image you're using to Go Live just to be sure.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11681880
to elaborate, ideally you'd have a "Going Live" image for each stream even if it's just something basic like a screenshot from the game with an emotionally-relevant reaction from your Live2D. Images have better engagement and URLs in tweets make Twitter show them to fewer people because they want you to stay on the website.

This will sound harsh, but if you need to be taught how to make friends at your age (I'm assuming 20s), you probably aren't going to make any friends. Friendship happens organically.

I heard that glasses can mess with face tracking. Am I cursed to have slightly worse tracking forever or is there anything I can do about that? I'd rather not wear contacts as they dry out fast when I'm gaming

The image is not very eye catching. I would go with the other anon, and add text to the image, clear and readable. Honestly I would recommend name of the game at the top, subtext being "Co-op horror with Franken and Nitto" then put like 2 timezones underneath that. Make things Big, Clear, and use white or another high contrast color that makes sense. (the other anon would use red, I would not in this instance as it doesn't fit the vibe) Maybe look into a basic online course in graphic design?

As for the text...you need to change it up. Sound more confident, be simple with some light flavor. Right now it sounds very weak/wishy-washy.

" The Doctor is in...This Saturday Join myself and Nitto for Man of Medan" or something like that. You can be quirky/add your characterization but then get straight to the point. I would also add your twitch link in the actual announcement post, not below it, as lots of people will not look that far. Essentially get the most amount of clear info you can in the shortest and most impactful way for advertising posts.

I bought a pair of glasses specifically with tracking in mind. Get anti-glare lenses and large frames that are thin, so think dad glasses. The less your glasses cover parts of your face the better. There's places to get glasses for dirt cheap if you have your prescription.

>are asian girls drawing just some sort of ultra buff?
if you keep in mind the general audience of viewers who check out channels on twitch, yes, it is. streaming is predominantly male oriented, both for streaming and for viewing. cute asian girl with cute asian accent has a comfy stream, and a bunch of dudes will click on it and watch.

[Anonymous No.]

Might as well give it a try,, so this is the concept I have been auditioning with to some companies. Since I'm finally going to be able to upgrade my pc I'm going to start streaming on my own, for that I need to redraw at least the "normal" model (left, she's supposed to be a magical girl, right is magical form) to separate the layers and rig it. I would appreciate some feedback on any of the designs! I am aware that she doesn't look too much like a magical girl but thats kind of a part of the lore. And also if some name comes to mind when you see her, I would appreciate that too, been having a hard time picking one.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11684399
I would say, just find someone's content that you like, and start commenting/replying to posts or streams, not incessantly though, and once they start recognizing you, ask (in dms) if they'd like to collab, but never start off with that, talk regularly about things like videogames and stuff that you both have an interest. Don't force anything, but if you two aren't compatible, don't also just drop them immediately. Keep on talking because if you stop them it will seem like all your intentions to make friends had ulterior motives and you did not care about the person themself.

[Anonymous No.]

>>11692020
Yes! I have a more.. cartoony? style so I just like to make stuff bendy for the hell of it. Same reason why the eyes are like that, planning on making the swirly eyes more prominent too. Either way, In the final model I would probably make her arms closer to the body so it doesn't take that much space in the screen, I feel like they are a bit distracting and would get in the way.
