What is /asp/?

A thread for aspiring vtubers! Whether your goal is to make the journey as an independent streamer or to gain experience and build a portfolio for agency auditions. Let's help each other grow and make it. Indies are welcome to selfpost, but shill responsibly. Share your knowledge, insights, feedback, discuss what has worked and what hasn't worked for you. And always remember to do your research before posting personally identifying information. That includes both in this thread and in your audition applications to agencies.

FAQ:
>Do I need a fully rigged model to be a vtuber?
Nope! You can get started as a simple .png character!

>I want to learn how to rig Live2D models, where do I go?
Brian Tsui (of Iron Vertex), Kira Omori and the official Live2D YouTube channels have many tutorials available.

>Where can I find artists/riggers?
vtuber.gg, ArtStation, DeviantArt, Twitter, Reddit, Skeb.jp, etc.

>I just want to get started, can I buy pre-made models?
Yes! Live2D models can be purchased off nizima.com (Live2D's official marketplace) or booth.pm (general Japanese indie artist website). Be sure to check compatibility with your facial tracking software!

>Where can I learn how to digital market myself?
https://learndigital.withgoogle.com/digitalgarage

>Where can I find some good games to stream?
https://twitchtracker.com/games
https://sullygnome.com/

>Twitch or YouTube?
The general rule of thumb is Twitch if your content is primarily based on livestreaming and YouTube if your content is primarily pre-recorded and edited.

>Do you think there's an audience for X, Y, Z content?
First, ask yourself if you would watch a streamer of your skill and experience. Second, do a check on social media and look to see if other streamers are already creating similar content. Don't limit yourself to vtubers, include traditional real life streamers to scope out a potential audience.

I don't know a ton about vtubing but.. I'm thinking about making my model a robotic girl and using a voice synthesizer thing. Like one of those fake text to speech voices but I'd talk instead of text if that's an option. Are there a lot of vtubers who have done this?

I think there will always be a pretty significant amount of people who would rather hear a natural voice. But it probably is possible to have it be a niche that will overall help you stand out and grow faster than if you just did your natural voice.

What I would worry about is people thinking you were some sort of tranny. That would probably hurt viewership more than you might think.

so I've kind of achieved most of the goals I had for vtubing and I'm confused on where to go next

It's not like I don't have goals at all anymore, but they feel more like pipe dreams. The fire I had in me trying to achieve the first few feels like it's gone since I achieved everything so fast. (1 year goals in 2 months) I'm pretty down about it even though I technically won.

>> No.38142974

What were your goals?

>> No.38143109

>>38142974
I had low expectations, so it was 5+ CCV, 200 twitch followers, 200 twitter followers, 200 youtube subs, etc etc.

I ended up riding the wave for a game that was blowing up and got that super fast. Now the game is kinda dead, so I don't pull in the numbers anymore, but that's really not the issue. My plan now is just to take a break and then come back with a different approach if I want to keep VTubing.

>> No.38144516

>>38142933
this happened to me. i was so caught off guard, i felt like i so many eyes on me while in my head i hadn't even really started yet!

the two things i would recommend are 1. make friends with cool and fun chuubas that you think are cool and enjoy their content! they will inspire you and keep you positive. 2. start thinking about creative stuff to do! collabs, creative streams, recorded content... branch out, try new things, and push yourself! numbers shouldn't be your only goals in vtubing!

>> No.38145294

THOSE were your goals in one year? Of course you would achieve them in two months. You "technically won" by default kek.

>>38144516
Thanks anon, maybe I should probably focus more on workshopping new ideas and finding new chuuba friends. I spent too much time just grinding streams and not really improving my content. Numbers really shouldn't have been my goal, but now that I'm at this level, I can really focus on other things now without worry!

In hindsight, you're right. Then again, I had super low expectations for myself. I'll probably not put any number goals for the next year.

Its something every streamer has to deal with to some extent. Very few people will watch a streamer no matter what they stream, especially not until they get to know them over weeks-months. But if its any consolation I don't think there really is such a thing as dead followers, they will always be potential viewers in the future so you still got quite a lot out of that little burst of popularity with that game blowing up even if it feels like you are at square one again. You just gotta work at winning them over and turning them into more hardcore fans.

I did a very similar thing when I started out, got a few huge raids a few times just because I was playing a particular game. If I played anything else my viewership went down to what felt like zero (and sometimes literally zero) but eventually I turned some of those initial follows into real regulars who will turn up to watch all sorts of weird things that I play these days. I mostly just stream for them these days. Its fun having people that you have known for a long time come by to your stream a lot.

There's three sets of viewers.
Your goslings. They will watch whatever you put out because they love everything you do.
Your fans. They will watch whatever you do, if there's nothing else they want to watch on. There's sub-groups here, but that gets beyond the scope of a single post on an Uzbekistani Pony Trekking imageboard
The category fans. They'll watch anyone in that game, and only in that game. They do not like you, they like what you're currently doing. ASMR, minecraft, or people chasing drops.
Your goal is to make people move up levels. If you notice that you have a larger viewership when playing Uno than Call of Duty, you need to recognize the names that only come for Uno, and start being extra nice to them.

MissFushi did this with her ASMR games streams. She'd play Kirby, but "in an ASMR way". So quietly, with in-game volume super low, sound redeems off, etc. It kind of helped.
