So I'm sort of lost on what to do next. I've got some comms being made for a reference sheet for my character, currently writing out lore for the eventual debut (although I'll be limited to starting out as a pngtuber for the time being.) Is it silly to start looking into possible designs for like stream layout and like? I kind of have an idea on the theme of the stream.

[Anonymous No.]

>>3889339
That's fine, but you'd probably do better sorting out what kind of content you'll be creating.

Practice streams are probably your number 1 thing. You don’t even have to stream them, you can just record them. Good for shaking off nerves and getting you comfortable with the idea of talking into a void. You might wanna wait until you have your concept sketch back before you start putting a lot of thought into the layout.

>wait... Armain? looks like they were right about vtubing being a retirement home for oldfags...
No, it's me. You must be attenborough, right? I knew there were a few of us here but I didn't expect to get called out.
You've probably guessed by now but digiflux and I were considering possibly making some rigs for some of the characters so we could do some vtube puppet show shenanagins for season 3 of you-know-what to kind of mix things up a bit.
As for Armain, well I actually haven't told him yet. His rendition of Otto kind of ended up being his de-facto "look" but Digi did want to take a crack at it and try and make it closer to his original concept. Since you're basically the target audience for this what do you think? Is it worth doing? I'm finally gonna have my hands free in a few days so I can try and see if I can get something up and running by June but I'm honestly not too sure how people would take this.

[Anonymous No.]

>>3895125
Twitch bans them, Youtube doesn't. You can get ContentID'd mid-stream but it doesn't seem to happen very often. If you just don't keep the VOD you should be safe.
I see a lot of cover channels that use original backing tracks, so saving the songs from your stream might not be as dangerous as it seems. IDK about all that though.

[Anonymous No.]

>>3895673
so is the answer just to suck it up and use youtube, knowing that your video's gonna be monetized by all of the record holders? i remember Meat from /wvt/ doing a karaoke stream and she has a copy of the stream on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTAnHNoon9w that has a ton of record holders placing a copyright claim on it (pic rel)

but somehow her video is still up? so what's going on with that?

[Anonymous No.]

>>3895772
>but somehow her video is still up? so what's going on with that?
They chose to keep the video up but collect ad revenue. I have no clue how it gets split between all of them though.

[Anonymous No.]

>>3895825
wait, does that mean if just one of them wants to force your video off, they can? i'm mostly asking because i can't be assed to figure out which record label is an ass about copyright and which ones are okay with leaving a video up on youtube. there's just too many of them.

[Anonymous No.]

>>3895845
>wait, does that mean if just one of them wants to force your video off, they can?
Yes. Also any of them can send a copyright strike where if you get 3 of them your channel gets terminated. Copyright claims are not copyright strikes.

[Anonymous No.]

>>3895992
so does that mean Meat just lucked the fuck out when 27 separate record holders for this specific song decided not to copyright strike her video?

[Anonymous No.]

I feel really terrible for frankensteining an avatar out of pieces from character makers, random art, and random clothes photos, but the DIY spirit and, for the most part, acute social anxiety is winning over the more rational choice of just commissioning an artist. I can only hope nobody notices that it's borderline stealing, but if they do I'll just go out in flames and disappear I guess.

I doubt expressing interest in a company is gonna be a black mark against you joining that company.

No, I don't, so having taken this risk into account I wasn't planning to stream (at least not regularly), it's easier to keep that shit out of content when it's pre-edited videos where I can just be a generic and occasionally overly excitable narrator for whatever the video is about. Though removing personality kinda defeats the point of being a vtuber, but oh well.
>>3899534
Thanks, for now I'll try to strain what little art muscles I have to modify what I have (for what it's worth I'm scribbling lines with a tablet, not literally copy-pasting or tracing, but certainly over-abusing reference material to a degree that I myself find very uncomfortable), in hopes that it'll get to a point of plausible denial, otherwise I'll give up for real. It's just that proportions of facial features and hair that looks like it's actually growing from the head are really hard to get right without developing a decent art skill, but maybe with another dozen of drafts I'll get somewhere. At least reference clothes photos and various Clip Studio assets/assists are fair game, or I'd off myself already...

While someone convinced me to make a discord server, I'm starting to re-think it. I'm still pretty small and even the person that asked for the server has left, so I'm considering dropping it.

I know this sounds like a dumb idea, but I'm actually considering making a "Announcements only" discord sever, that can provide some fun emotes for people who have nitro and stream notifications for everyone else, but where I don't actually need to bring in mods to manage it. That way I also don't really need to deal with the usual problems that come with a discord server. Is this a bad idea?

Yeah, something to that effect will do. But clarify it a bit more. Are you just using it for youtube videos? clips? twitch background?

"Commercial purpose" for commissioned art pieces can range from just using it on a monetized youtube video all the way over to mass printing as keychains or stickers and selling it wholesale or even including it as video game art that would be sold on Steam. So you want to make sure the artist is aware of what kind of "commercial purpose" you're looking for.

Discord attracts a lot of people you probably don't want around and history has shown that it's really never good to try and befriend a non-chuuba fan. It's teeming with attention whores with agendas. While it's important to talk to your viewers, I really don't think Discord is the way to go; you should only use Discord to talk to other VTubers. Unless you're okay with performing routine tard wrangling, I don't think it's worth it. I'm pretty sure Nijisanji bans fan interaction in these ways for these reasons. They're just scandals waiting to happen. The announcement thing sounds fine but at that point you're probably better off just using Twitter.

[Anonymous No.]

>>3925049
here's translate from DeepL
looks like a confirmation agreement for you

>all rights to the work belong to the creator
the artist will maintain the IP rights to the work itself

>we cannot restrict the scope of publication of the work
you can't prevent the artist from publishing the piece themselves (for example, as part of their portfolio of works, or on social media as a commissioned piece they're working on)

both of these options, if i'm not mistaken, can be adjusted when you put in the Skeb order. for example, there's an option to make the piece private or you can request ownership of the IP (though it may cost more), etc. these look like the default general guidelines when putting in a skeb.

Is stating this will be used for commercial use and listing the reasons enough then?

[Anonymous No.]

>>3925390
that's more up to the artist, and not skeb. Skeb's default agreement is only personal use. by putting in that you want Commercial use into the request text, you're leaving it up to the artist to decide whether they'll accept the skeb or not.

if they do, then you can go ahead and take that as the artist agreeing to give you a commercial license. if they don't, then they're rejecting it. but it's got nothing to do with skeb as a service. (hope that makes sense)

Hmm, in that case, what about if we did it "Kano-style"?
as for the vt-related seething well, I'm actually kind of curious if they would even make a big stink about it and ngl kind of want to go ahead with it just to see their reaction. After all it won't be "not /m/" if the whole character is literally created from an /m/ fanfic and only covers /m/ content.... right?

>you're probably better off using stills cause it better captures the whole "shitty deviantart gundam fanfiction" thing that /m/SV is supposed to emulate. it's not worth it, especially given how hard those vtuber threads back on /m/ cause anons to seethe
Hmm, in that case, what about if we did it "Kano-style"?
as for the vt-related seething well, I'm actually kind of curious if they would even make a big stink about it and ngl kind of want to go ahead with it just to see their reaction. After all it won't be "not /m/" if the whole character is literally created from an /m/ fanfic and only covers /m/ content.... right?
>otto or blexar as a chuba sounds like a fucking hilarious idea
funnily enough digi actually wanted to try portraying blexar. We haven't really moved that far on this front though since he's still got outstanding deliveries for the Getter robo opening and I've got my own shit to deal with.

They kept doing it even after VRC. Deny it all you want but building a community is extremely important as a vtuber and unless you're just really good or have corporate backing, which I doubt anyone here is or will have, the traditional way is building an audience and then funneling them to a discord. The only time "drama" starts is when you literally talk shit and get caught talking shit. The only reason you'll get caught for something is because you did something worthy of being caught for.

Engage with your community, host movie nights, let them have a place to post art, etc. Almost all the biggest ENVtubers all have and actively participate in their discord to some degree.

>low expectations are no excuse for a garbage stream and wasting people's time.
the reality is that you will never waste anyone's time. if they stick around, it's because there's something there that gives them value. if there isn't, they'll dip out.

with so many streamers out there, viewers have the power to just stop by and leave at any time as they want. don't worry about them and just focus on making you the right type of entertainer you want to be. after that, you'll start to pull in viewers who want to watch your content. and those that don't won't be sticking around anyway.

[Anonymous No.]

Yo. I have two things on my mind.

I seem to have a very large delta between viewer numbers when I’m doing different things on steam. I’m wondering how I can experiment with various topics and games and discover what works while still keeping my core audience entertained.

Second is that I tend to lose steam whenever I see those large viewership drops.

Do you guys have any tips for a fledgling VTuber?

[Anonymous No.]

>>3952923
I guess a good first question is what are you doing that is keeping you up in numbers and what is it that causes big drops?

[Anonymous No.]

>>3952923
Always always always turn off your viewer count. Always assume you're streaming to a large audience. As for tips for trying new things it's hard to suggest anything but I would look at your number (preferably a day or so after) and try to chart out some trends and go from there. Game choice, length, stream time, etc are all things to look to.

[Anonymous No.]

>>3952991
It seems like portions of the stream where I talk to chat are the most popular but when I do start to play games, the viewership steadily drops.

I’m wondering if there’s an issue with the games I pick or if there’s a problem with the way I interact.

I wouldn’t want to be a one trick pony.

[Anonymous No.]

Is it better to stream in small doses daily or do longer streams every few days?

[Anonymous No.]

>>3953092
yeah if you keep peoples attention through chatting then it's likely that a lot of people would want to hear you be able to talk and interact with them more easily, which is hard during games like, say apex where things are happening constantly, or a game like indivisible which is a story based rpg
maybe try more mellow games that are easier to chat over and see how that goes?

What do you consider something to be "wrong"? Low viewership can be due to many things and sometimes it isn't directly correlated to what you're doing on the actual stream. It could be your advertisement, the time you're doing it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>3953213
Hi idol hopeful

Turning off numbers is the easiest way to focus on topic / game./ the people in your chat.

Try having the zatsus relate to the game your playing? Or play games where you can talk about whatever and you don't have to devote much brain power to the game

[Anonymous No.]

>>3953092
Teru this you

[Anonymous No.]

>>3953205
Those are certainly some choices for games. Thank you, I’ll try out some more casual games then!

I’m not particularly skilled at videogames; I only play them whenever I’m streaming so I feel like I should be practicing out of stream too? Would it be weird if I practiced videogames outside of stream and they’d just miss out on the progress I made?
>>3953302
I’m not sure. Whenever I don’t understand why something bad is happening, I tend to look inside myself to see what I can do better. It’s a sort of mental trick I practice to keep myself hunble, I suppose.

Maybe I’m just not a great entertainer outside of my hastily produced chats. Maybe my meagre success is a fluke caused by a stroke of luck.

These are the thoughts that invade me when I see those drops.

>>3953355

Thank you that sounds like a good idea! I’ll look through my library and find a game that doesn’t require too much mechanical skill!!

when i first started, i kept the viewers count thing up, but seeing it go from 1 to 3 to 2 and down to 1 over and over again made me feel like shit, so i've turned it off. i know it's still doing it, but i don't visibly see it happening in real time anymore, so it doesn't bother me as much (still hurts a little).

i do teaching streams which aren't exactly zatsudans but they're similar that they're both talking streams and both benefit from chat engagement
those are a little easier to do though because its easier to talk to yourself when you're just explaining material so maybe if you wanted to do something like that you could do it on a topic that you could just ramble on about without worrying about a chat?
similarly i once intentionally broke out into a impromptu zatsu the other day after i finished streaming a game and ended up having some solid retention for the 10-15 minutes i was rambling on with chat which surprised me

That means you are good at talking, not that you're bad in general. A lot of people can't sing. A lot of people can't draw. A lot of people can't play games at competitive levels. A lot of people can't fix a leaking waterpipe which can cause MAJOR DAMAGE. A lot of people can't put two words together. None of these means said people are bad.

>>3961815
Vchatting combined with vtweeting but not in the way most people do it. Find someone you want to be friends with. Turn up to their streams and comment on their posts on Twitter. Networking works best when there’s an element of naturalness to it. Also in my experience YouTube sucks ass but your Mileage may vary with this.
>>3961861
If you have your niche appeal to others in the same niche. Go to discords and subreddits and other threads on this site to get people interested in your niche to turn up. Don’t force yourself to be someone you’re not. Streaming is a marathon not a sprint.
>>3962094
>>3962131
My answer to both these are the same so I will reply to them both.

My biggest strength and why I think I have grown how I am has always been my consistency of brand. You want people to be able to expect what kind of content they will receive from your streams. It doesn’t matter if it’s a type of game or a style of content or whatever, it’s important to build consistency so people can tune in to something they want.

I haven’t ever caught a lucky break. It’s been slow grinds for me to where I am now. Maybe in the future I’ll pop off and get super big but you can’t rely on viral success.

[Anonymous No.]

>>3962850
I think this is weak. You have to think about the appeal of live-streaming as a whole verses watching a video. The appeal is the relationship with the streamer and the interaction you can have. When you have multiple characters it really hurts that.

I'm not sure if that's a viable option unless the contract had a loophole. There are certain legal repercussions that come with breaking contracts that a lot of indie vtubers can't afford and will end up usually in a worse spot than they started if they don't have any legal backing. It's more viable to make the best out of a bad situation, grow your audience while you can, fulfill the needs of the company, and then graduate with a new gimmick once you have sufficient enough resources to do so.

That's way too much self-control for anyone who ever considered becoming a VTuber.

Do you want to do it? Then you’re the right person for it. Success comes as much as you’re prepared to work for it.

Ok so go to the /wvt/ thread and find the ghostbin. It has links to a lot of the chuuba’s twitters. If you need more help maybe you can ask one of the chuubas in that list that belongs in the trash..?

>>3977737

i have come to the conclusion based on zero supporting evidence that just a normal voice won't work for me and i need to put on a voice.

[Anonymous No.]

>>3979221
post your normal voice

[Anonymous No.]

>>3979221
It depends on what you're going for. If you just want to show your genuine personality while you stream then there's no need to put on a voice. However if you're going for a more character driven kayfabe, then the voice should try to match with your presentation of your kayfabe as much as possible.

[Anonymous No.]

>>3979462
yeah, i don't really have any lore kayfabe, but i think it'll help with the illusion of being 'in character' as a vtuber.

Is having a boyfriend a debuff, especially if you don't lean into the GFE angle? I live with mine and unfortunately do not have a lot of space to set up, so I'm worried he will pick up occasionally

[Anonymous No.]

>>3980589
boyfriend? i think you mean roommate anon

[Anonymous No.]

>>3980626
Exactly. But still, wouldn't a male roommate instigate a similar response (if there is any). I mean stuff like if he were to cough or sneeze, not so much being like 'yeah come gimme some sugar bby'

[Anonymous No.]

>>3980660
If you're absolutely concerned about the creepy loser angle then you could always play it off as a sibling

[Anonymous No.]

>>3980589
Yes. Inherently yes. Do you even need to ask this question?

boyfriend is one of the greatest debuffs no matter what.
the best thing you can do is say it's your husband that is much less of a debuff than anything else. except siblings but you got to know how to act for it to work.

This is terrifying. Seeing Nadechama/JPchama crowdsource /vt/ for suggestions on her vtuber model. This can only end terribly.

Stuff like this is why posting WIP pictures of vtuber models openly here is a terrible idea.

[Anonymous No.]

>>3984115
But Anon, her tomboy idea wouldn't have worked anyway. She said her ass elf she doesn't necessarily do any of the traditional yonboy activities and her voice sounds completely antithetical to how tomboys sound. It's an ipgrade, she could lean into her new gimmick at maximum power.
