what sets apart a mere "gimmick" versus a unique take on vtubing, when it comes to setting yourself apart from all the others?

Something that has a big impact on the viewing experience that's not just a gimmick that will become repetitive. Something flexible and creative.

Nothing. But in a good way. Have a gimmick please

You will be already your own thing when you choose a skin color for your avatar other than white and tanned white, if we feel adventurous you can set you even farther apart from the other by choosing something that isn't humanoid-shaped.

What do you guys think of the iphone face sync tech?

I personally like it and want to upgrade to it in a few months, but I've heard some people say it's uncanny.
I'm thinking it's just a matter of the artistry, with the 3d modelers needing to get better at making the blendshapes.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2457382
only worry yourself when looking for a 3d modeler or modeling yourself. the face recognition is powerful

[Anonymous No.]

>>2457456
I don't know what you're trying to say.
I can easily afford it--I have way more resources than most indies to start with--it's just a matter of when it's worth upgrading to because I don't want my cost basis to go too far into the red before I start making income on my streams...

>Models already created
This is the sign of a poorly organized company that will not succeed in the vtuber industry.
Unless your application sample set is incredibly large, which it won't be as an unknown company like this, chances are pretty high that you won't actually find a voice that will fit some or most of the character designs very well.
There's a reason why Hololive and Niijisanji get the talent and then produce the character model.

[Anonymous No.]

love seeing armchair business managers coming out of the woodwork already

[Anonymous No.]

>>2457980
They said that some will and some won't, I'm guessing they want to use the ones they have but won't if it doesn't fit anyone. Even hololive had some pre-made avatars that didn't get used.

I have money and am lazy. The Elgato family of devices good? Looking at the Elgato Wave 3 and the 15 key Stream Deck as a combo set for streaming. I'm gonna be using OBS if that makes a difference.

How many test streams is enough to judge whether or not I am ready to take the plunge properly? I’ve done three with a png so far, had one accidental viewer from Twitter. I’m still holding out on putting the word out there because I want to rig the model before the next weekend.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2458805
Elgato is pretty good but if you want a really good mic for cheap, you should get a Samson Q9U; with a bit of EQ magic you can make it sound almost exactly like the SM7B as shown here in this video:

Generally if you want advice on how to do streaming stuff Alpha Gaming is a really good channel

[Anonymous No.]

>>2459206
How long are they? Regardless, you're not going to be very practiced after only three. Like try streaming everyday for 3 weeks maybe.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2459252
2 hours each. I was thinking of doing a couple hours after work every day, but I was also wondering if I’m being unnecessary complacent and it could be ok to just start off scuffed. A month is a long time for a vtuber

[Anonymous No.]

>>2459252
>streaming every day
Anon, you don’t want to stream every single day
You want to stream at least 3 days a week but 7 just leads to burnout and your voice becoming shit if you don’t take care of it properly

>>2459315
I mean it depends. If you want to "start strong" and super hype up you debut on social media you need to get a lot of practice in. If you care less about numbers from the start and are just wanting to start streaming regularly anyways, there's not a ton of reason to wait. /asp/ is divided on if you should have everything 'ready to go' or just start streaming and re debut later.

>>2459361
I meant shorter practice streams being everyday. Sorry, wasn't clear.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2459432
I see, it’s ambiguous because of what people understand as “starting”.
But yeah, my plan was to just start, and then rede it half a year later by calling what was before a “beta-test” (in tune with the character being a robot)

Cyberlive seems to be viewing my audition every other day or so. Not sure why lol

I was about to write that I should give up then, but I checked once last time I did get another view. It seems they aren't making snap decisions at least, though I think I need to stop checking for my own sanity.

>>2458805
The Wave 3 is actually fine if you run a decent EQ with it.
It's super easy to do and won't matter with streaming compression, so you don't need a podcast quality mic

Here's an idiot-proof intro to setting such a thing up:

So... what's the deal with Cyberlive?
Do we think they'll be successful?
Are they accepting male talents at all?

[Anonymous No.]

>>2460375
I feel like they’re aiming themselves as a west-based Nijisanji-type experience, and I think they will probably be successful

[Anonymous No.]

>>2460375
I asked if they knew their gender ratio of what they wanted to hire and they didn't reply on that email. However, I looked on the website faq again and it addresses this. I might have just overlooked it. picrel
It's too early to say if they will be successful, but they seem to have at least a little bit of potential. It's not like I've ever worked with a talent agency though, so I wouldn't really know.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2460545
So... it's going to just be knockoff HoloLive.
No reason for me to bother, then.

Guess you gotta do it on your own as a male vtuber in the end. Nothing is ever given to males.

There's a reason you don't see male vtuber threads on this board. Sorry bro.

They did say that some will be pre-made and others will be made working with the talents

[Anonymous No.]

>>2461131
Yeah, I know, but I wonder since they said the gen size will be 3 - 5 that they might have these designs in mind first while looking through videos. It's not impossible they'd make an older character, but wondering if it might be less of a chance.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2461044
How so?

[Anonymous No.]

>>2461285
That’s probably fair; I’d imagine for now they’re looking for the original designs and keeping the extra applicants who don’t fit those on the back burner until they find those three

[Anonymous No.]

cyberlive seems too idol to be a nijisanji west but they seem to have some backing if they can invest as much as they have. there are no big comparisons to hololive out in the west. we have tsunderia but... their budget isn't the highest. arguably prismpro is the closest we have so far

[Anonymous No.]

still torn on whether not to apply for cyberlive or to just wait for holo EN 3. for those that already applied, what did you guys think between the two?

[Anonymous No.]

Much higher chance of getting into CyberLive
My audition has been viewed like 4-5 times

POST TODAY'S STREAM RESULTS

You did stream today,right(or going to)? Tell me how it went: What'd you play? How long? How many viewers? Anything funny or notable happen?

Personally, I streamed Apex Legends for a little over an hour and got, at most, 3 people to drop in, watch for a few seconds, then leave. I'd call that a success because I had fun playing Apex and that's really all I wanted to do.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2461380
Anon you might as well apply and see if you even pass. Not sure your experience, but it isn't like you have to pick just one. I've auditioned for a few companies at a time.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2461380
Higher chance for CyberLive. I'm not going to pretend I have Hololive level talent. I'm just not there yet. Getting experience in a small company is good period. If they suck you can duck out later, if they get big, well you were already there. Just read the contract super close.

[Anonymous No.]

thanks for the insight. i know it's delusional to even imagine it, but i wanted to try and make it as an indie and keep trying for holo. maybe i'll throw in an application tomorrow for cyberlive

If those are the silhouettes of the designs they are going to be using this company is NGMI. Standing out is more important than ever.

I did some japanese reps, had one person ask me a question and then not reply, then a good buddy came in and chatted with me for a bit. Had to cut it short to plan dinner for everyone.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2461604
I'm hoping maybe they're test ones they're not attached to. That may be denial talking. None of them seem that appealing to me. The twitter said they're going to repost to reddit with a promotional video, so I definitely want to see that and if there's any more character detail on it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2461451
It went well, especially for a Sunday. Streamed a small dungeon to crafting game a la Recettear for 4 hours and managed to peak at 29 concurrent viewers. Chat had a couple of serious lulls but nothing I wasn't able to talk through.
Good job getting people in to watch Apex, I find that super tough

[Anonymous No.]

i passed cyberlive round one here is what i can tell you guys. yes, i am female

-no male designs
-more designs than just the audition photo
-the models look good . i cant leak for safety but they arent ugly
-i have seen more than one model since for the interview they have you use one during the call, i assume it is who they are auditioning you for and they let me pick
-over 5 people have been contacted as per their schedule i saw so they are getting apps

[Anonymous No.]

>>2461913
How many more rounds are there going to be of auditions for the first wave?

[Anonymous No.]

Calling it now: Cyberlive is going to crash and burn.

I don't see anything to indicate that they'll do things differently. HoloLive could be HoloLive even in the west because they were already big in the west.

Cyberlive is... well, it's in the name. They seem like they want to be "HoloLive, but western" and that just isn't enough to succeed. The people into HoloLive already have HoloLive.

[Anonymous No.]

from what i gathered after the first interview if you pass there is another interview closer to the end of the audition period

not sure if i can detail more than that

Sort of, my viewership varies a lot, so I can go from anywhere between 13-14 peak to nearly 40 (usually only if I get raided though)

Can you say whether or not the silhouettes used here >>2461040 are those of the pre-made models Cyberlive has for is first gen? The silhouettes don't look too unique and I was hoping they were just stock images or something.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2463551
how long have you been going at it? my average viewership currently is at 5 though there was some point about a week or two ago where my numbers jumped from being around 2-3 to 6-8 per stream so that number will probably rise up when those older streams get taken out of the statistics

[Anonymous No.]

>>2463669

2/3 are models i know are for first gen, but are more unique than what you'd think. the far right is not a generic design imo, not another cat design. i am not sure if i can say more

the middle might be gen 1 but it wasn't in my selection, so i don't know if there is a gen 0 or if it is for a manager, or i just simply wasn't offered it

[Anonymous No.]

>>2463669

adding on last thing i can say

if you like gura and aloe designs you will like the models i have seen

good luck to everyone else applying

To you, don't listen to that anon. Western male and japanese male vtubers all end up doing the same shit, so they aren't that different. Holostars doesn't really count towards anything because those are idols along with targeted to very specific demographics. They also struggled nearly as bad as any indie before the wave of roasties accumulated.

I did come in during the boom though so I set my expectations pretty low.

I'll know I've made it to some extent when I see an anon that's not myself post my link here

[Anonymous No.]

>>2464996
If you are looking for the big push, it will never be comfortable/normal.
You need to make a general and attract autists/schizos like the bear did/troll vtubers/events do. How you go about that is up to you, but its probably the fastest way to get a giant wave. Look at the content that actually makes people post en masse on this board/everywhere else and you learn what people can't stop themselves from paying attention to.
Also here is Beatani getting called a nigger in her thread.

As for the bear herself, the only issue she has is retention because she gets plenty of traffic after her stunts. Her gaming content is really bad (Because her roommate is still a normie japanese konbini worker)

A few extra clicks, maybe a follow? Sure. But I don't think you're gonna get a new regular unless you're very lucky

[Anonymous No.]

>>2466259
Depends on how hard you want to go, Ive had to shill things/projects here for years(Including a few vtubers). You will 100% get more traffic than 3 viewers with just neutral shilling, but retention is going to be the hard part. Shilling in this particular thread is pointless, since its mostly just stray streamers/yt channel faggots/clippers giving advice/looking for advice.

[Anonymous No.]

2 and half hours and trying to understand the deep lore and mechanical complexities of the Kancolle RPG, a Touhou Fan RPG, and a game that is definitely a Bionicle tabletop game that is a schizophrenic combination of about seven systems. Got decent amount of viewers based entirely off of people I kind of know and those interested in those franchises.

>Kancolle RPG
Interesting ideas, that for some reason was a Kancolle RPG instead of a naval warfare game.

Is it not smart to shill on /wvt/

why wouldn't it be? at best you get a handful of viewers to boost your view count. at worst you get ignored. I'm assuming you're competent enough to ban attempted groomers who enter your chat.

>>2478877
its really just a matter of "do you care if your account has any ties to 4chan" but i stopped caring about that pretty quickly considering how big some /wvt/ adjacent chuubas are
as long as you don't break containment i don't think anyone really cares

[Anonymous No.]

I'm less worries about being tied to some "muh 4chan" stigma that barely even exists anymore, and more worried about some random schizo deciding I'd be perfect to dedicating the next few months to doxing.

>>2478802
If this board didn't use nijin* as an insult I could excuse just saying I've used it to promote/ /asp/ is a helpful thread. Anything else can be overlooked, but in my group of people that's a death sentence to be associated with a place that uses the nword freely.

But yes, also you can get trolls, especially when I'm small enough I don't have anyone to moderate for me.

i've considered this as well but considering the anonymity of the board its really easy to say that you don't condone it yourself and the only words here that could even remotely be attributed to you is selfposting

There are quite a few of confirmed /wvt/ lurking chuubas and I think only one has received an actual doxx attempt months ago, mainly to confirm their gender. Its honestly not common at all.

>>2479236
I've thought about that too, just using the excuse "I don't go there or participate, I just wanted to advertise once", but even then I feel like I'd bring myself unwanted ire. I think if I needed to, I'd put my voice and art on /asp/ for help, but not promote on the rest of the board.

if you want to shill yourself, just throw a link into /wvt/ with a picture of your character with a one line description. you don't have to mention that it's yourself (plausible deniability) or that it's a chuuba you're following. just drop the link and disappear.

How is youtube about content claiming VIDEO with no audio?

I signed up for a royalty free video site and they are asking for my youtube channel to protect it from content claims, however I don't know if I fully trust them enough to put my channel ID in their system forever. Would I be fine ignoring it, or do you think the algorithm is good enough to catch the video I use, and I should just stop being a baby and give them my channel

I'm a little confused why anyone would bother with a literal who agency in this day and age. Unless the management behind a VTuber agency has experience and a following from before they formed said agency, all that the agency can realistically provide is a predatory contract designed to siphon funds away from the actual talent. It's a trap for VTuber-hopefuls that can't afford to get their own model/art. Especially since most contracts are going to take that model/art away from you if you ever leave the agency. These agencies aren't going to pull in new viewers, and they're certainly not going to be the next Holo/vShojo

[Anonymous No.]

>>2488769
>Cyberlive
The only thing they have going for them is that their website isn't a hot piece of shit like some of the other agencies. Everything on that website reeks of recently-graduated business major. The fact they even mention their budget of 50k isn't encouraging. Sure, if you went full balls to the wall, you could stand up 1-3 talents with full iPhone or VR tracking, Iron Vertex rigging, etc etc. But logistically? 50k isn't going to begin to cover advertisement fees, merchandizing, legal consultants, and so on and so forth.

Indeed. These all seem (to me) like pump-n-dumps that have no actual experience and/or long term strategy. They just want to see if they can snag the diamond in the rough that could have made it on their own but now is at 3k+ viewers and owes the agency >50% of their earnings.

And that's honestly what any aspiring Vtuber should ask, i.e. "What's the long term plan?" Because if it's not arranging collabs with big names, setting up exclusive events, or otherwise bringing in new audiences, they're just trying to leech off you.

Call it what you like, but this is all based off of observations and testimony I've heard and seen of other Vtubers from literal whos. I know it's extremely tempting to sign with an agency so you can get your model "for free" and that you're expecting the agency to bring you in boosted numbers. The fact is that we shouldn't be encouraging people to throw away their talents/ideas on what are essentially scams. If you couldn't make it on your own pre-agency, you're not going to make it post-agency.

tldr for my vtuber friends here:

-don't bother applying for any agency that isn't a high-level production, startup or non. the biggest draw of the agency is the money behind you.
-don't give more than 30% of your earnings away or it is a bad contract
-make sure you are getting actual support from your company, whether it be marketing, management, or just them giving you new artwork. don't let them just take money without anything given back

I applied to CyberLive after a while of really thinking about it yesterday.
I figure even if I don't get accepted, I might learn a little about what is expected as an agency VTuber and future audition attempts with Hololive and Niji could be better, since Niji didn't even look at my last audition and I don't think there's a high chance of Hololive looking at me either.

If I get in and it's a huge scam I'll make sure to get all the gritty details for a thread here, I figure I can always go back to my current identity if they try and screw me

[Anonymous No.]

>>2489658
In addition, I know it usually never happens, but you can send them a one VERY polite email asking what they think you can improve on if they did view you audition at all at the end. It's acceptable in most jobs to do that, even if they don't respond.

iirc no one in the corporate vtuber world has ever disclosed their contract, but it's still a good question ask if anyone has (actual) experience in an entertainment company

>>2489814
More than a 30% cut
Agency owns the art/model with no clause for buyout or transfer
"Monthly Pay" without any explanation of where the funds are coming from
Their "HQ" is at a fake address or is one many companies use (i.e. a shell office)
There is no long term expansion plan
There is no concrete plan to acquire assets (Rigging, etc.)
The CEO/underlings have no actual business experience in the entertainment industry

I could go on. The biggest red flag is when the agency starts pushing you for numbers. Yes, certain types of games/streams will net more viewers. But the moment an agency starts to tell you "you can't stream X because you aren't getting enough views" then it's time to either sellout or get out.

>>2489986
What's your reasoning on it not being good if the agency won't let you buyout the character? If they've made merchandise or other promotional materials for the character, even if you leave, if you have the same face you'd still be associated with the company's old content. If I spent time making characters, I'd want to be able to have the rights to still use those characters and designs even if the voice actor has left. Make sense to me if you paid for the ip creation, you want keep the ip.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2490128

Not anon but I think the idea is entrapment. If you leave, you lose it all so you have to kinda take what the company gives you.

I personally think to a degree I get it though. What is stopping someone from using a company/agency then just leaving and taking their audience and assets with them?

It's already happened with Kana, we all saw how that went.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2490128
You would be completely correct in regards to a medium to large, well-established company like holo/etc. Those types of agencies absolutely want/need to lock down their IP. But for a small startup that hasn't produced a single Talent? It's a huge risk. If the small literal who agency tanks or otherwise wants to leverage their hold over your model/equipment, then you're shit out of luck. Pretty much what >>2490204 says - entrapment.

There's some difficulty as a male, but not nearly as much as people say. The truth is that most male vtubers out there are just shit performers, so if you're actually entertaining you can turn the male debuff into a male buff by being a male who gets to collaborate with all the cutest and best girls.

There may be fewer outliers, so not having a great western male chuuba now isn't the same as it being impossible.

You're trying so hard to find failure.

there's no such thing as bad publicity. the fact that he had a career in his previous life just means he started off his vtuber career with a boost from both his fans and haters.

You will never be a real anime girl. You have no 2D body, you have no 2D personality, you have no 2D soul. You are a cosplaying camwhore twisted by internet and technology into a crude mockery of mankind’s perfection.

All the “fans” you get are double-chinned coomers. Behind your back people call you a camwhore. Your parents are unaware of your cosplay camwhoring, your “friends” laugh at your anime avatar appearance behind closed doors.

Real men are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of anime watched have allowed otaku to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even vtumors who “pass” look unfunny and uncute to an otaku. Your body structure is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk guy to donate to you, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he catched a glimpse of your ugly, unmistakably 3D body.

You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.

Eventually you’ll be too old to pretend - you’ll tell your company that you're graduating, have a small graduation stream and go away. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll marry you to a salaryman who only knows you by your birth name, and every friend or acquaintance for the rest of eternity will know that you are 3DPD. Your personality will decay and go back to 3DPD, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably 3D.

This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

It's just a few lines pre-recored so I'm not sure I'd consider it a vtuber but the aesthetic is super cute!

[Anonymous No.]

Prerecorded videos are fucking hard, man.
I can get a pretty natural groove going when I'm streaming and can just riff, but as soon as I'm trying to actually stick to a topic and make something that can be comparable to a video essay or discussion vid, I barely even have the momentum to hit the record button. There's something about it that stresses me the fuck out, even though I have the benefit of cutting what doesn't work and doing as many takes as I need

[Anonymous No.]

>>2518226
Looked at their videos and they've got a neat style. Obviously wouldn't work at all for livestreams, but if they only want to do prerecorded content its pretty adorable.

"Also, if you're a vtuber feel free to reach out to me for colabs."
Had it in the video, I'm not really sure how that's gonna work, but it is very interesting.

I'm thinking about how it would be possible to livestream with a very custom coded setup, but it would depend on text-to-speech and live captioning and usually those are unreliable.

I think this could work in a collab with the right vtubers, though I think the text speed needs to be sped up to keep the conversation rolling. Also makes it impossible to do in group collabs since there's no option to "speak up" when doing text. Unless they had a sound effect for 'yelling' and large font.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2519135
reserving that huge of a chunk of space at the bottom 1/3rd of the screen just for one vtuber's gimmick seems a little insane. there would have to be a better implementation. like pop up dialog boxes that are temporary or transparent or something, but in a way that doesn't obscure the screen.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2519225
or just limit it to their character and the space directly underneath

[Anonymous No.]

>>2519225
Honestly its something that could be worked on, and if they had the resources it could be changed up on a per-game basis to fit the aesthetics. But yeah the whole thing just means more planning and can't really do stuff off the cuff as easily. I still like that someones trying something nonstandard though.

Today, I noticed that my audition video for hololive_en 2nd gen had 1 view. however, when i refreshed the page, it went back to 0. I took a screenshot when it was at 1 view, so i know i wasn't imagining things, but i don't know youtube well, so is this something that happens sometimes? i don't think it was just a coincidence
