voice acting is still a thing that exists, but requires you to actively pay attention to your speech patterns. you might lose track of it during high intensity moments in your stream where you revert back to your normal voice. but vtubing is pretty much acting as an entertainer, so don't give up so easily. it'll just take some work.

yes

there's certain 'personality tropes' that are tropes for a reason - they're common, and can be used. you can attempt to subvert it, but that'll play into another one.
military lolita ruler sounds like tanya degurachaff (ish). i'm sure there's others out there two, but none i can immediatelty think of.
unless you run in the exact same circuls, its not going to matter.


think of how bad it went for virtuallylewd when she attempted to call someone out for using 'up-horned succubus in black/silver'. from what i saw on twitter and redddit, everyone sided againts her, because its a broad look. then when the old chat logs came from the other one, showing shed worked on it for years, it went even worse.

she does alright porn tho.

Who /here/ has run analytics on their streams, to figure out day/times/games?
I'm just starting my first plateau, at about 4-7 viewers depending on game (stagnant for last fortnight). I figured I'd try mixing up what I play, and maybe try some gorilla streams at odd times to see if that works.
But I also thought on trying to see where the different amounts of shilling takes me - so try posting discords/twitter/reddit, one, neither; but thought someone might have already tried it, at least, just to see what actually makes a difference - is it worth crafting a go-live post, or just sticking up a 'live now at [link]', or not worth doing anything?

How long did he not respond to you? Try to message them again, if its more than 2 weeks I'd say do it. I dealt with an artist that didn't even send me anything for a month and a half, when they saw I requested a refund through paypal they started responding. Some artists are scummy

Do you have any advice on what makes a debut good or memorable?
I had actually planned on doing a marathon stream of some sort to help fund my model, but now that I've won one, I'm a bit clueless as to what to do. It also seems to be in poor taste to combine the two, as a few new people will probably stop by for it and I don't want their first impression of me to be that I'm doing this just for money.

[Anonymous No.]

It's so tough to hold down my delusions about this shit. I know that I'm gonna cap at 10 viewers by the end of the year, but I just can't stop the fantasies of having a bustling chat and having all my plans for special streams and lore and shit running through my head. Part of me is afraid of letting myself down when I don't reach those heights, and another part of me feels its healthy to have aspirations. I just hope I dont fucking drown. I can take the grind, but I dont wanna drown.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8216837
10 viewers is a room full of people. Don't undersell yourself.
Keep working and maybe consider shilling yourself on TikTok. Even if it's just clips from past streams. Just try not to look at your comment section there.
It's a slow grind, but you can make it if you keep at it. It's hard not to let your numbers drag you down, but you just gotta keep going and celebrate every small step. Every follower, every milestone, everything. Find something that keeps you going.
Best piece of advice I have is to keep your view count off.
I believe in you, feel free to drop your link and I can take a look at some of your stuff

[Anonymous No.]

>>8217175
>TikTok
What sort of view count should I be hoping for there? I'm uploading one clip a day, and getting ~500 views on it, which is ~497 more than I'm getting on Youtube, and ~470 more than I'm getting on my clips on Twitch.

But I know tiktok is ALL ABOUT bigger numbers, so I dunno if that's big enough?

[Anonymous No.]

>>8219324
It's a good start. I had one of mine go viral very early, so I feel like my numbers are a bit skewed, but even my less viewed videos are lower than ~500. Just make sure you spam hashtags as much as you can.

At the end of the day, TikTok is mostly about luck, so don't worry about increasing your views on there for the moment. You can put some popular audio in the background if you really want to try getting some extra views, but it's not how you're going to get people over on your Twitch/YT.
On mobile you can pin comments, so I highly recommend telling people to follow your stream there. Don't ask them. Tell them to.

I don't put more effort into my TikTok videos than trimming them a bit, resizing them to 1080x1920, and adding subtitles with an outline, and I use a scuffed video editor called DaVinci Resolve for it too. But it really shows.

Something you can do to bring people over to your TikTok from your Twitch is to let them know you're planning on uploading clips there exclusively or have them up on there first, if you are posting them elsewhere. What I did was let my viewers know that clips they take can end up on my TikTok/Twitter if I like them. For a while I would upload clips on a daily basis like that. Things like Twitter posts you can schedule ahead of time, for example.

This is what worked for me, so take it with a grain of salt. When I say you have to be lucky, I really do mean it. TikTok's algorithm is nasty.

>>8221667
I did on Twitter.
I would add another tweet under the original saying something like "Clip by twitch user [...]: [link to the original clip]"

It's very unlikely people would care about that on TikTok, but if you feel like it I guess you could do a similar thing in the pinned comment? Keep in mind you cant click on links there though.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8221818
This is really helpful, thanks Anon. I've been sharing directly from Twitch, and tagging the user in the post, rather than DLing and re-upping... Which explains why I'm not getting the same interaction on those posts. I'd heard Twitter didn't like external linkes

[Anonymous No.]

>>8221908
It's an extra step someone has to take to see the clip. If you upload a video, it will play automatically by default. Speaking from my PoV here, but that's usually enough for me to feel curious enough to unmute the audio. I am very unlikely to click an external link in a case like this.
I'm glad to be of help, let me know if there's anything else I can do

[Anonymous No.]

>>8221981
Just adding onto this, but you want to remove every barrier possible between your content and a potential viewer, no matter how trivial. Even having to click a link will seriously affect your numbers. Enabling audio is also a barrier, so be sure to have subtitles. Stuff like that = very important.

There are a wide variety of microphones with different polar patterns and etc. that make them better-suited for different recording tasks. Technically, yes, most microphones CAN record voice, but there microphones better for the task than others.

>>8222275
Get an Audio-Technica AT2020 or a Shure SM58, a GOOD mic stand that won't break or drop your mic, an XLR cable, and a 3.5mm->XLR adapter to plug the fancy mic cable into your PC, or USB->XLR I guess? I don't know if one is better than the other. Whole set-up will cost under $200, but not by much.

>There are a wide variety of microphones with different polar patterns and etc. that make them better-suited for different recording tasks. Technically, yes, most microphones CAN record voice, but there microphones better for the task than others.
here's a fun fact. 99.9999% of your viewers on twitch will never be able to tell unless you have some garbage webcam mic or laptop integrated mic. compression on twitch, game sounds, bgm, all of that will cover everything. no viewer is going to be impressed that you have a mic specifically designed for voice acting studio work. just grab a half decent usb mic, put up a pop filter, and start making content.

Because everyone who gives a shit won't become your viewers, and many can't listen to someone with shitty audio. Why are you fighting so hard to defend shitty vocal quality when it's the most important part of being a streamer? You can get away with something cheaper, but don't act like your equipment is inconsequential. If you're /asp/iring to be big, mic is the #1 gear upgrade for streaming, and compared to everything else, it's the cheapest.

every single /asp/ie here will be fine with an Elgato Wave 3. that'll be more than enough for the first 2 years of their stream. there's literally zero point to talking about condensers or cardioid patterns or EQ shit, none of that matters. no /asp/ie would even know what that shit does or what to listen for. when you make it big and have donos rolling in, consider upgrading, but until them, a fucking usb mic is fine. no one goes to a literal first time 0view streamer and expects a studio grade microphone.

pretty good, she's thinking of applying to a small Indie Agency in Indonesia. Yume Reality I think?

>>8227754

good to know, she's just highly afraid she'll be awkward since she never made any content before. I guess I'll push her to go for it. thanks.

the big question is whether she should try to speak more english to get an "audience" or is the Holo-Niji war already too big that any EN-audience has no time to watch anything else from an Indonesian Small Agency. I guess she should consult with the agency herself?

>>8228049
If she's never made content, definitely encourage her to start, and especially to do things that are fun that she enjoys doing.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8228049
start in English and advertise as English. you can just compare someone like Hana Maccia from NijiID or even Ban Hada from NijiKR vs the NijiENs. if you're fluent in EN, start out as EN. you're only shooting yourself in the foot if you brand as ID because most en audiences will pass you over no matter how fluent your english is.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8228389
you mean, start making content prior to applying to an Agency?

I think the current plan is to apply to this small Agency AS the start since the deadline is 10th September or something for auditions. but I guess that's a good planB if she gets rejected. to like start her own channel. She just thinks a lot about like "oh no, how do I make an L2D avatar" when thinking about going indie, which is already a concern addressed on the OP of this general thread. the reason she's joining an Agency in the first place is so that those things are taken care of. hopefully.

and that's why I kinda want to redirect her /here/. She's a smart girl, although I'm sure I'll have to explain the concept of shitposting etc., I think /asp/ could help her if she's here herself, but I don't know I should advise anyone "normal" to ever visit 4chan.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8228790
Yeah, start streaming, you're unlikely to get into an agency with no background in any content creation. Even if she's just streaming with a low budget PNG, she'll still get the experience and learn if she even enjoys streaming.

I wouldn't worry too much about introducing a normal person here. There's lots of relatively normal people here who offer good advice, you just need to be able to filter out the shitposts.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8228754
huh, I actually didn't think of that yet. ID debuff is true. but the idea of applying to "Niji" or "Holo" is so outlandish to her even though I still said "you could try, despite the fact there's literally 200+ applicants for both and iirc thousands for Holo", and her knowledge in EN agencies other than those two are probably lacking.

Hell, when she started talking to me, she didn't even know anyone from NijiEN. she just watched Iofi from ID and thought vtubers are cool, then discovered these small Indonesian Agencies opening Audition.

[Anonymous No.]

Telling a story from work, included something someone said to me where they referred to me by name. But I don't associate my name with me, so it was already coming out of my mouth before I realized, because in my mind, [name] isn't me, so I was just parrotting back what they said.

I *think* I caught it in time, and it's only my first name. At worst, it's the first syllable.

imo, if you're starting out, it's less about picking an "optimal" timeslot as it is with picking what will be a "consistent" timeslot. Sure, you may be going for attracting new people to your stream, but you'll also want to think about audience retention. Keep a crowd of people who you know are available within a certain window is the goal.

I imagine it also depends on the type of content. I have different streamers I watch while I'm at work compared with what I watch in the evenings.

I recall that but that's honestly so far removed from affecting anyone at all that it doesn't even matter. It was only underage vtweeters who were upset they didn't get in on a fetish account.

My growth is by no means meteoric, but I kept an eye on my 'genmates' (other indies who started within a week or two of me), and checked what they did to hit affiliate. I'm m*le, pngTuber, and stream on EU hours

A - If you want FAST growth as a grill, be lewd. The one chuuba I found who started a week later than myself always puts 'LewdTuber' in her streamtitles. She'll tell chat what colour panties she's wearing (if any), and ERPs with anyone willing in the discord. She hit the average views and follower count before her first week was up. She only streamed valorant for this week, which was less then ideal

1 - Consistency. Set a schedule, stick to it. Once, twice, three times a lady a week, doesn't matter. Be consistent, and throw in guerrilla streams when you can
2 - Consistency pt 2 electric boogaloo. Pick your games, stick to them. If people find you through EU4, they'll expect more EU4 from you. If they find you through Valorant, they'll expect Valorant in future.
3 - Shill yourself. I post go-lives on reddit, twitter, and a rotation of four different discords I'm semi-active in. I also provide some entry level tech-support there, and do posts like this rubbing my name in people's faces. I upload clips to Tiktok, Twitter (directly), and youtube, then retweet and repost them. Aim for one video/active post a day.
Interact with other chuubas. According to nightbot, my top chatters are:
- another chuuba from a discord
- another chuuba from twitter
- chuuba #2's mod
- some random dude
- chuuba #2's second mod
- another chuuba from another discord
All of these guys come to my stream regardless of who else is there - the mods turn up without their chuuba, even if she's still asleep, for some reason they like my logorrhoea and twitter shitpost
4 - Don't stop talking. Ever. People are watching you stream a game rather than playing it for themselves, so you NEED to be adding something to it. Constantly. This will either be titties, GFE, or commentary.
I played Skyrim last night, doing an unmodded game. Incredibly boring. Except it's a challenge run, with very specific rules, and I allow chat to vote on exceptions to this. Further, I'll explain the rules each time we get a new viewer, and provide updates if we get an older viewer come back. I had 5 viewers, got raided by a group of 12, and then retained 13 until the end of stream. You have seven seconds to grab someone's attention, and about 15 minutes to keep their mind on you each time they start to flag.
ADHD makes constant talking between multiple topics easier
5 - Networking.
RAID. Every stream, you need to raid someone. Pick a target that you LIKE, so you don't end up raiding a follower's only chat where their avatar doesn't have a working face, and they don't talk. Or where they spend seven minutes in silence, with the game muted.
If you can muster the courage, raid someone (slightly) bigger. The rules are flexible, but don't raid Ironmouse with a party of 3; raid someone around the 20 mark. If you don't know who to raid, pick someone in the same game category, or use Sullygnome
Those who don't raid are entirely reliant on people organically finding the stream. If you raid, and get a shoutout, you might get an extra few followers, but it might also get you the tag on twitter, which gets extra eyes on you.
I always see a small spike after raiding upwards.
Just make sure to ask chat to spam message beforehand - not much worse than raiding and you're the only one to post a raid message

when you commission something you have to ask the artist for every small change you make, right? unless they say in the contract you can do what you want with it.
for example make a face a little rounder in a vroid, and maybe edit the expressions.
I assume I need to ask but I am also scared of looking like an idiot if I dont need to ask.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8256315
depends on the artist. for most of them, their work is a symbol of their talents and reputation. if you go and tweak some shit and it looks ugly, but you don't point that out, others might see it and attribute that poor edit to the artist which hurts their rep.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8256273
5.2 more Networking - be active in other chats. Find other streamers, hang in chat, pretty much always have twitch open in the background. Don't be a shitheel. Then self-promote in their discord 'self-promo' channel, if they have one. If they don't, follow them on twitter, follow some of their followers you interact with, and then do your go-live posts.
'drop your png' threads are a good way of finding other small streamers. Be nice to them, proactively, try and make friends. You're not after them as a viewer, so much as to keep your twitter active. I get tagged in ~5 posts a week in Twitter, and that adds to my visibility.
6 - Visibility, and blending in
You don't want to blend in. Don't do collabs until you can carry yourself. Don't hope on the latest trend unless you can make it yours. Do something unique, interesting, and not currently saturated.
Sure, there's millions of people watching minecraft right now, but you'd need to be better than any of the other streamers to leech viewers.
Instead, go and play Morrowind (there's five streamers, and only 19 viewers right now), or discworld noir (only 3 videos exist on twitch, two are german). Sure, there's little viewers in it, but they will ALL BE YOURS

[Anonymous No.]

>>8256315
make it clear before commission, and ask. i always tell them 'hey, i might do minor edits to this, for live posts or twitter or tiktok, or because i feel like it. are you cool with that, or should i find another artist'?

This I definitely don't have covered. As I said I'm a 2view male with rather niche content, so I don't exactly feel comfortable raiding another stream. The people that I like usually stream during a different timeslot than I do too, and I wouldn't want to throw my potential audience to someone random that I hadn't vetted or had no interest in
>>8256543
>5.2
Discord isn't really my thing, but I may have to get on the bandwagon eventually it seems. I definitely don't interact much on Twitter or in someone's chat since lurking is my primary way of absorbing content. The most networking I do is chatting up people on /wvt/ and liking a couple Twitter posts every now and again.

I'd like to think I'm rarher unique, but if that were the case I doubt I would be having these issues right now.

Its better learning it, because you never now when you can need money, also is always better to invest on audio/pc parts.
I did my own Live2d model myself during summer holidays, its very hard but the results could be decent if you understand at least perspective on drawing.
My advice:
>do a clean artwork, it doesnt have to be professional, take care of the extra pixels. Personally, I recommend working in a canvas of 2k pixels x 2k pixels at 200dpi minimum.

>Understand how 3d perspective works. Do some simples sketches of your character rotating it's head and use it as guide images on live2d editor.

>while more layers, more deformers and more detail. Be aware about how this can affect your pc performance (more in streaming than modelling)

You can check Brian Tsui's video about rigging for non artists, Enma and DreaTrove tuts are good too for starting on Live2d.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8274013
>it hinders my chances
Not in the slightest. There's nothing about limit to entrants, or pre-genned models for you to step into. I figure that they're keeping it open so they can recruit any/all of their friends that apply (Snuffy, Haruka, etc), and any talent that they find along the way. If they were limiting numbers, they'd have announced it (everyone else does)

If I were to be in some sort of HR position in a smaller (talent-wise) group, I'd split out members, affiliates, and apprentices.

Members be the full on vShojo talents. They get access to everything.

Affiliates are friends closely linked to the group, and you provide some support to them for relevant streams, but keep it quiet and hidden. This brings them closer to the team, with the ultimate aim of bringing them on board. They get some access to stuff, but all couched in "we'll see if we can put in a word, but in-house has to come first, you understand". The blocker to an affiliate joining is the affiliate - they don't want to (yet)

Apprentices would be for people not quite ready to join, but on the precipice. They're either not good enough, don't have enough hardware/skills/audience, they've not been doing it long enough to be worth the punt, or they'd need a large cash injection - I'm assuming VS don't want rebrands. Apprentices would get some assistance, maybe bumped up queues for contracted artists, pulled into discount deals, but have to stump the cost of it themselves. Think of it like inviting the friend you don't like *that* much to get the 10-person discount.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8275323
You're probably right. I don't think there's harm in applying, or at least in working on an application (video editing and self presentation skills), but if I don't seriously think I'd be a good fit, it probably is only setting myself up for failure regardless of the outcome.

I do think there are VShojo members I'd get along with, but I see what you mean. Thanks anon!

Its more that the sphere of successful vtubers is relatively small so naturally most semi-decent successful EN vtubers (that are willing to drop their current life) already know each other.

Most definitely, Elira and Pomu worked very well with her together with their past lives and the three of them were considered veteran vtubers in the same group.

Honestly this is more a hobby for me, as my work will require me to be sent off away from internet for months at a time, so I can't plan on any consistency. This has all been oddly fun though, just picking up and learning a fuckton of random skills, and I don't think I would have even started if not for y'all. I'm trying to do everything but character art from scratch, so when I eventually do pop up its gonna be scuffed as fuck, but yeah this has been fun so far.

Emails, sure, but then there's at least 2 rounds of interviews with each candidate which probably takes more planning than sifting through applications. Seeing as how quickly they sent out emails to the girls I'd normally say they've already sent them out to males too, if not for the fact that they haven't sent a similar tweet telling the guys to check for emails too.

Fem/gay anons, do you have any design preferences for male vtubers? Preferably examples to work with, I always liked guys that looked like (original) miyamura, but not sure if that falls into the too femboy territory. or begins to drift into generic halfassed doomer looks.

oh sorry for the stupid fucking conversation currently being carried out at the moment but to answer your question
1) yeah it should be fine at worst you might get a mature content warning disclaimer but I rarely see those
2) if it's from your stream, tag it with like, #vtuber #envtuber #fallout I guess
some people prefer to not have more than a few tags though so you could probably omit one of the vtuber tags but those tend to get you picked up by the retweet bots

Download the clip locally, put some subtitles on it (I picked up how to do this in davinci resolve in ~1 hour).

Upload the clip to Twitter, using #en/vtuber/en tags as you normally do, then #fallout (or whatever game you're doing), and #[series name]. By series name, I mean whatever you've titled the playthrough (you... you have titled the playthrough, right?), based on the gimmick you're doing.

Post the clip to Twitter, title it, give a date. In the replies, put a link to the clip page on twitter, and tell people to come check out your twitch. Also post the clip on YT and Tiktok.

The twitter algo prefers local content to links, and the retweet bots don't tend to retweet links as much either.

Or just wallow in not even trying, and calling yourself a vtuber despite generating no content. Join the massed ranks of 'debut tba' vtweeters, who do nothing but play pretend in the hope of getting to, one day, somehow, fuck an ethot.

He had a following before becoming a vtuber if this is same dog guy I think it is.

Regardless, if it isn't a consistent success across many then its just an exception, not a rule. "male debuff" doesn't literally mean males can't make it, it means that they have to do a lot more work, trial and error, put in more effort etc because of the massive difference in audience target.

yep its who i thought it was. he's posted in /wvt/ before I believe. his audience is mainly interested in him reacting to and talking about some popular chinese drama animes or something A niche thing he's been doing for a while and not exactly easy to replicate at all, and is actually very representative of the "male debuff" of having to find some weird niche audience that wants you instead of just "Hello, I'm female and entertaining and pretty cute.

Wanted to get thoughts on an idea I'd had, figured I could ask - does anyone else stream the making of the schedule/announcement posts/clip editing?

I figured it's an hour or two of effort, so a shorter stream's worth of content, but it's also way outside my normal wheelhouse of games, and breaking kayfabe/fourth wall a bit? But also don't know whether it's something anyone would actually care about

I’m sure you could get it to work so long as you treat it as a zatsudan with some extra background stuff in the same way that people do glorified just chatting streams with Minecraft. Probably not everyone would be interested, but I personally like seeing the technical side of things, especially if you’re willing to give commentary on your thoughts and the process as you go along.

Out of all the companies seeking talent right now, in what order do you think they're worth auditioning for? Feel free to explain why you prefer one company over the other.

Personally I like PRISM a lot. I think they have fun talent and they all have great art for their models. My next pick would probably be Phase Connect but I think that's just an aesthetic pick since they have good art for their models, I don't know much about them.

>top twitch streamers are male
and in some subcategories such as body painting, asmr, hot tub, body paint, and other GFE/"female service" style streams, females are the largest outside of a large male coming in to do one as a meme. Out of the top 50 Twitch ASMR streamers there's maybe 2 guys, or the second one is like a shrimp tank or something.

>top japanese streamers are male
From what I can see on Youtube, it's a pretty good mix but it's had differentiating "a dude" from these weird celebrity network things they've got. On Twitch it's all esports dudes which is an option I guess.


>top vtubers in japan are male
Some of them are, but it's still heavily female dominated.

Male vtubers probably will never be huge, but it's entirely possible for them to grow and become fairly big without needed some insane past connection. Most males I see doing well (mid to high hundreds) have had some sort of long history of content creation whereas I can count 10 female vtubers live right now who are doing well and only started a year ago. From what I can tell, the issue with it internationally vs in Japan is how normalized and integrated anime shit is into their society. VTubers aren't some weird niche thing, Kizuna Ai literally had a deal with a real fashion company (Valentino) and they have anime-style characters as ambassadors to shit like Tourism. In the west it's still very "ew weeb" even though it's grown in popularity over the last decade.

Males can absolutely still make it and do well, but most can't do it just playing games and hanging out with their chat the way a lot of female vtubers do because the main demographic in the west are literally a primarily male audience that enjoy a niche vtubers within a niche. Most guys wanna just do what girls do and that isn't really enough since it has to be done with a different angle than "Hey guys, we're playing 12 Minutes today!"
