/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

>>12454092
Get out of /here/ and never look back

Reading superchats stream once a week

>>12454165
but in other places like reddit and twitter people only give positive criticism and never tells you if you do something wrong. also i have seen the guys who “gosling” here and i think they could give me good feedback! (also I would feel bad to le you guys alone here)

Stop thinking you're special, don't blame cover when you won't even be invited for an interview, lower your self-importance, do not let your self-image bend reality.
KYS

>>12454184
people like it most when the vtuber only reads once per week or when they also red them after the streams?

>>12454309
i see thank you anon! that seems like a good advice specially when interacting with that much people daily

This board is full of schizos who get off on taking everything a vtuber says out of context on purpose. Taking this shithole seriously, much less actively trying to pander to the mold growing on the wall we call "posters" is pointless. Yes, you'll find people being brutally honest here, but you'll also find people making shit up and being contrarian trolls for fun. Check out the resources in /asp/ and ignore the rest of the board forever

>>12454092
uoh in Gura's chat to know that you made it, even so I won't have my hopes up

>>12455355
wouldn’t she try to avoid me after that? like i think she would link it to this board

>>12454092
Is this a roleplaying thread?
There's no way a 4chan retard will be recruited as a holo

>>12455452
I meant just the crying emoji, no need to risk it, you don't need to be treerat lvls of >here, that's an advice I guess. Also if you manage to get past the first phase, do the same as Ame and ask a lot, maybe they may need a second 'Ame' for support after the branch gets too big

Unless you're good at making the following entertaining, I'd refrain from doing negative generalizations, engaging with topics or people that might lead into drama or division. And when facing criticism you can't avoid, ie via superchats, just try to be as diplomatic as possible by saying you just want everyone to enjoy themselves and you're working your hardest to keep it as such etc

People are there to watch you have fun and every single second you waste on the loud minority possibly calling you out on something could be spent on the rest who are there to appreciate you

Being overly positive can be a bit boring but the vast majority of viewers tune into vtubers as escapism so they prefer watching someone have fun rather than be bitching and complaining, especially at their audience. And since people online are fickle as fuck just one wrong opinion might turn people away or against you so taking the safe bet with focusing on things you like is often better than antagonising your audience by talking about things you dislike, especially when it comes to topics people are super autistic about like vidya, anime or whatever

>>12455572
You'd be surprised, anon. But also this is one of the reasons I don't get my hopes up.

>>12455572
Everyone in Holomyth is/was a 4channer, retard
Do your reps

Kiara used to be in /cgl/ and Mori was shilling her wigger music on /mu/, now Gura's posting on her threads and announcing her schedule even before her Twitter post. Don't get me started with Amegeddon and loserbait

>>12454092
Please don’t play Apex

>>12454092
Please play Apex

>>12455572
Probably. Doubt they'll get in, but it's still kinda fun to engage, which is why plenty of people are giving actual advice.

>>12454575
Yeah, avoid global threads. Though, a general isn't going to be free of nonsense either. There'll always be schizos and falseflagging, but it's where one will find the genuine fans.

>>12454271
>>12454092
Ok. Here's what you do. Do vocal reps. Know trivia so you can bring up obscure topics if you want to go on a tangent and fill airtime. Practice being generous with people so you don't feel uncomfortable supporting your senpais or friends. Don't be narcissistic and selfish. Take an interest in other people's happiness. Do some Japanese reps, especially stock conversational lines if you're brand new. And practice singing long tones near the edge of your range.
Basically you want to increase your skills as much as possible in the relevant fields:
>entertainment (filling airtime)
>not being an intolerable jerk (generosity and focus on others' happiness)
>singing voice (singing long tone reps and pitch bending reps)
>talking voice (this is covered by singing reps but it also helps if you specifically focus on making your voice sound soothing, smooth, and sometimes subtly sexy)
>vocal expressiveness (NOOO! Ahh! Yeah!!! Nice!! and multiple line versions of these to feel the emotion for longer like up to 10+ seconds at a time)
>work ethic (it helps if you were raised in a strict family or if you had to work to support yourself and you struggled for something in life)
>Japanese (management will like you more if you know some vs knowing none at all)
>
If you want your fans to feel happy and loved, it can be easy or difficult. In my opinion there is a delicate line here. Think of someone who has never received any love, not every viewer is this extreme, but some are. What do they think about people and interacting with people? It may help to watch a neet documentary. The keys here are respect, delicacy, and confidence. It's a bit like walking on eggshells in some ways, but don't feel like you have to walk on eggshells. You're trying to avoid hurting the person who has been hurt many times before. Or it can be very easy, just don't be a bitch, if you understand all dimensions of what that means.

>>12454092
Announce in your debut that you have a BF, don't enable GFE goslings and don't talk in an annoying or fake-cutesy voice. You won't make it as the most popular of gen3 but any gains and interactions you get from your followers will be genuine.

OMG THOSE ARE SOME BIG TEXTS
big thanks for your help anons! those are some good advices, (I’m sure this is the type of thing the holos have to learn once they already in xD)i really appreciate you took your time to write something as big as this for me (for real!). this is the type of advice I’m scare I wouldn’t get out of this place

(have a funny korone)

>>12454092
Nuke ALL of your roommate shit prior to debuting. If you're reluctant to, just nuke whatever yab shit is there and recheck your socials two, three, or even four times over.

>>12454092
announce that you are a member of LGBTQA+ so kronii will feel comfortable with you

>>12456887
There isn't really room for me to give negative criticism as I don't know you, but those are probably the biggest things to work on. It depends if the person is giving good advice though, some criticism is meaningless even if it's negative.

>>12456887
Do you already have an online presence of any kind? That'd help you a lot. Pomu from NijiEN applied for Hololive but got rejected due to lack of online presence, became an indie, and made it as one of the best EN vtubers the scene has to offer.

>>12454271
>gosling giving good feedback

If you want to bring the gosling you need some GFE but not too much to scare the non goslings. Just the right amount.

>>12456735
>announce I have a BF
but i don’t have one, wouldn’t people get mad if they discover I lied about it?
>GFE goslings
i mean, they don’t seem to hurt anybody, and seems to be lonely, so shy not let them distract from they sadness for a couple hours?

>fake voice
i wasn't thinking to! I think it feels weird when the real voice eventually comes out and every time you see one of her streams you knows she is faking it (tho im also worried someone would recognize me)

>>12455572
>He doesn't know

>>12456640
>>12456887
But turning down anyone starting to be a creep in chat/SCs is good too and based. Unless he's a paypig, in which case it's up to you and your mental health.

>>12457043
Gosling by themselves are nice and all but they are halfway through becoming a schizoposter, making rrats and being an overall sad existence.

>>12454092
You already doomed yourself in your first 4 words of this post. You should probably think about auditioning before even dreaming of joining. One does not simply join Hololive.

>>12454092
Send Yagoo a video of you getting touching your vagoo until climax, then at the end tell him there would more for him if he hires you.

>>12457192
It's true. Tard wrangling is a thing.

>>12454092
Just stream consistently. The shart is breaking through mainstream faster than other holos can absorb it. You need to be the one to grab and keep them.

>>12454092
When you fail the audition and Cover stop returning your calls don't blame one of your adjacent friends who did get in. They didn't use you. Also take your meds.

>>12457028
Huh, I thought Pomu has always been a Nijisanji fan?

>>12454619
You can join ID without being Indonesian, but you still need to be able to speak the languange

>>12454092
idk, just make sure you're having a good time. If you're not, just explain it to the viewers and apologize.
Play some games, chat about things, and start some cool projects like songs or something. Maybe some boys will fall in love with you, I guess you can decide how you feel about it.

>>12457466
She's a general vtuber fan, regardless of company. She's talked about OGs like Ai, HimeHina, PPH, etc. more on stream than she has kiara.

>>12457043
Learn to recognize bad advice... announcing you have a BF is something you should probably never do, for several reasons. As for negative criticism, check out this channel. She has entertaining moments but they are few and her channel is mostly silent. It's ok to be silent sometimes but if you are solo streaming this should almost never happen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnHeH78KyRM
If you want an example of the opposite, look for Mori's streams where she talks from her fridge. She does a bit almost every time she has to go away for a moment for food, and it became one of the most entertaining parts of her streams. Other vtubers would just mute and forget it until they come back. Of course mute if you're going to the bathroom.

If you get ever accepted, maybe give us a sign that you really make it there or just disregard what you read here in the spoiler

>>12454092
>I’m specially looking for tips to make my fan base feel happy and loved (i dont want anyone to be lonely)
First and foremost, break up with your bf and stop seeing any male who might want to fuck you or has fucked you before. Not just social media cleaning, but actually break irl. Second, follow the first advice. Third, give a lot of voice service, like humming and singing and generally keeping a relaxed voice tone like when you do asmr but at an audible level (example see Alice Mononobe). Fourth, ignore anyone who says the advice above isn't good and block them. For the rest, show off any skills you got, even if you think it's futile it most likely isn't, be it being good in a specific game or at playing an instrument or singing a specific song, don't be afraid to show off. You can post anonymously some test vocaroo on /int/ or /soc/ or whatever to hear some feedback.

This will make most of your fans feel happy and in love with you.

>>12454092
I don't know if it's been said, but it helps if you're already a streamer. AS lot of the things you need to be a VTuber in a corp you would likely learn streaming as some nobody, with your face, or a .png or a cheap anime live2d if you prefer.
Obviously having 5 viewers (2 of which are actively chatting) can't prepare you for 5000 live viewers, though.

>>12454092

No one here ever made it to holoen anyways why bother asking, any advice given will not help

>>12454092
Read chat and if something sounds funny just laugh at it, don't try to be a stuck up bitch. This makes your fans feel appreciated and useful.
If you're a loli vtuber success is guaranteed as long as you don't do something brain-dead retarded like a scandal or whatever.

>>12459003

You want the gosling money don't cha... you think they gonna open their wallet just like that? LMAO
Goslings want gf simulators who tells them nice things and doesn't betray them. You have already failed because you 100% like any other western thot wannabe chuuba is in a relationship and the thought of devoting yourself to your fanbase doesn't even cross your outer skulls.

Go open a chaturbate account, you have higher chances of making some money there.

the audience, you do watch vtubers right?
only an arbitrary percentage of that audience has to take issue to impact viewership numbers

>>12454092
If you get assigned with a shitty design, trash rigger, or given a dumb, forgettable name there are several things you can do:
- create a nickname
- hire a better rigger
- get a better alt outfit ASAP
- or use 'chibi' design
- come up with an alternate persona

Mumei, Fauna and Gura would like to disagree.

Reminder that VT is around 2.1% of your audience/paypigs, don't let that discourage you from the real advice you're getting here such as >>12458363 and >>12456640

Honestly, don't look to joining Hololive right away. Start small, just start streaming right now and get experience. Try to get into one of the small EN vtuber companies that have come up, and work your way from there.

>>12454092
>advice from 4chan
lmao, okay, here's some
stop being a retard

>>12454092
Start doing exercise/taking care of yourself and just right before your debut post hot photos of yourself so when you get doxxed you will attract the worst of the worst schizos, the type tha will throw at least 1 superchat per week

>>12460615
You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and lie?

>>12454092
>I’m thinking on joining hololive next auditions
So what kind of talent do you have that will make you stand out compared to the others? Do you have experience in music or art? Do you have a reasonably successful youtube channel? If you don't have something along those lines you don't have a good chance of being picked because the standards have risen significantly due to the success of Myth. You're better off trying for one of the smaller companies as others have said, and use that for experience and to give you a bit of a leg up.

>>12460344
That only applies to JP.

>>12461092
anon look at the state of en2, they’re letting any roastoid in as long as she has clout

>>12461092
Considering they denied all apps to past jp audition I think you have to either be a triple threat singer dancer entertainer or get fucked.

>>12454092
go away korean dog

They "denied" all applications because the two character with designs disclosed didn't fit their generation model anymore.

Lmao just bee yourself

Just remember, SEAraiders and doxcorders are an extremely small minority and don't reflect 99% of this board even if they fall out of the sky in a coordinated attack. If many people are saying one thing that means it is a raid. If you plan on being /here/ be smart about it.

>being /here/
pls don't
just be cute

>>12454092
Play something besides Minecraft/Apex/ARK/lame horror games like Outlast all the time and you'll be good in my book.

if you have a boyfriend, nuke any mention of him on your account

>>12460989
We already know that it is Mumei

>>12454092
Worry about what you can do to get in before you worry about what to do once you get in. Getting accepted is 95% of the battle. Think of another route to get there if the plan of cold auditioning to the biggest vtruber company in the world doesn't immediately pay off.

>>12457214
>You should probably think about auditioning before even dreaming of joining. One does not simply join Hololive.
Just walk in to Cover headquarters, ask for YAGOO, give him a firm handshake and tell him you want to work in his company.

thank you for the reply’s everyone! i hope we can meet soon :D

>>12456955
>so kronii will feel comfortable with you
pls be a rat

>>12460915
This. If you get in hololive you're gonna get doxed, it's a rule.

Delete all your fugly photos on your social profiles and replace them with cute new photos, get an hair dresser and a make up artist to make yourself pretty, take photos and use them as your existing social media profile pics. You have to spend a bit but it will be worth it, also consider getting a tooth fix from a dentist because you don't want to look like some shitty bird. This way once shit hits the fan you won't feel too bad about it and people won't have much to make fun of you. Plus, Yagoo loves pretty western girls so you will have a little bonus chance, make sure to use youthful-looking make up when/if he or his manager asks to video interview.

>>12454092
You won't get in so don't worry about it.

>>12454092
You're getting ahead of yourself OP, imagining your fanbase when you don't even know if you'll pass the auditions. You're just a nobody now.

>>12455920
> now Gura's posting on her threads and announcing her schedule even before her Twitter post
I know about everything else, but I don't know about this. You got any post you can link me to or any phrase I should look for in the archives? This sounds pretty cool, I should say, "Big if tru".

Practice voice-acting, the aspiring vtuber thread should have resources.
Learn how to actually be a good streamer, filling dead air is the absolute bare minimum. Definitely look outside of hololive for reference.
Learn how to abuse GFE, it starts with your voice and covers all aspects of your streams and even social media posts.
Don’t enable goslings but don’t openly discourage them either, find a good balance.
Learn how to play the most commonly streamed game genres to be at least somewhat proficient.
Start learning japanese to at least N3 so you can do more collabs without it being awkward or requiring a translator.
Best of luck anon surpass your predecessors, if anything at least Gen2.

>>12454092

There was that one time some annon said "45 minutes till schedule chumbies :)" and Gura posted her schedule right on the spot. Was probably a coincidence though.

>>12454092
>I’m specially looking for tips to make my fan base feel happy and loved (i dont want anyone to be lonely)
#1 advice that isn't vague or subjective?
Read chat. A lot. There's multiple functions and plug-ins that slow it down into blocks. Get familiar with them.
Only ever read supas at the end.
Make it feel like people can get your attention by being insightful, funny and pleasant, never respond to hecklers unless you've got multiple independently verified sources saying that you're funny doing so.
Second advice: Pin helpful feedback.
Heart two comments per VOD that are insightful rather than purely positive/negative.
Respond to one insightful or funny comment per VOD.

A lot of other things depend on your personality, shtick etc etc etc, but using basic positive reinforcement is THE key to cultivating a fanbase you can be proud of.

PS: Bounce fanbase names off multiple people before you debut. It needs to be a word you can imagine yourself saying. Being addressed by fanbase name rather than as Chat/guys/everyone heightens awareness of your viewers as a collective.
Use it, once again, especially often when they're doing something that helps you or themselves.
For a hypothetical: Let's say you've read a bunch of comments saying people started working out.
Say, "A lot of [fanbase name] have been taking more care of themselves lately" at an opportune moment. That gives them a happy feeling.

In short: Men get very few compliments and attention. If you strategically use them in conjunction with YT's tools (chat, pins, hearts, replies) then the collective self-perception of the fanbase will shift and they'll see it as paramount to strive for higher standards of behaviour and interaction.

>next new holo
Be real. You're not gonna make it OP

>>12454092
take your time reading superchats, make people feel special when you read their message, this will keep 'em coming back

I bet wanting to join holo at current time is the same as wanting to be a stuntman in a marvel movie, toughest one to land in the industry even with connection.
You'll need a very good portfolio and you'll need a set of skill that no one else in the company have.
They expect you to get results so you'll have to impress them with your number strat if you managed to land an interview (being a nerd doesn't work anymore since 90% of holo are nerds)
Be the holo for normies

>>12460695
same >>12456640 (me) desu.

>>12459406
Honestly this.

you will only get in based on your inherent strengths, which need to be outlying enough to be noticed. if you don't know what those are you're fucked

As far as personal gripes with Holo goes, try and play the cult games that no other holo is playing/has played. Generally these might have lower viewership, but the ones who do like it will be more interested in you as a result rather than just skimming over Apex/Minecraft stream #1345. It seems like a good way to consistently attract and endear yourself to groups of viewers at a time. Ina does this more than the other HoloENs, playing shit like LoboCorp and Bastion.

>>12454092
You sound ESL, however if you're native jap then your English is actually pretty good. But I wouldn't recommend trying out for HoloEN if you're ESL.

>>12486243
That's how you get chicken-tier numbers though?

>>12454092
Start making content now. The only real teacher for making interesting, valuable online content is experience. If you can't make it as an indie, you will never be able to keep your fans' attention even as a holomem. Also it'll help if you can push above 200k subs because then Cover will actually notice your audition.

>>12486356
Numbers don't mean anything if you don't have an audience to begin with

>>12486413
And you get the audience playing minecraft

>>12458363
>>12456640
NTA but how do you even fill dead air? I'm trying to be more social going on calls more with friends, but filling dead air alone on a stream while playing vidya seems like a whole other battle.

nigga Sana has 200k subs. You saying an applicant should have as many subs as the actual employees? Kek

The first month(like any job) will be the hardest make sure your opsec is at the peak like right now if you care about keeping stuff private. Unless you're like mori and have your insta with IRL pics still up. Chances are alot of your more private stuff will get dug up if you don't do proper opsec/scrubbing.

You will get alot of shit talking and annoying stuff from schizos who need or haven't taken their meds. Don't let what the audience thinks get to you too much like in the generals for the holos especially the audience saying "you play too much of this or that" or too little. Out of all the girls i bet you two or three have broken down or have some anxiety from joining or when joining, don't end up like them and don't let the rats get to you, or if they will then brace yourself.

Like someone in the thread said look into random subjects or find a topic you like talking about wether it be the most boring shit to most interesting as long as you present it with enthusiasm and good presentation it can fill most dead air. Think about when an fps player stops to explain a play, someone breaks down how something works, or how your day went. some can get away with dead air like in art streams due to the nature of the stream being slower.

have you not seen the roommates of half of them, do your archive reps. like 8 of the 11 EN girls had a significant amount of followers or subs for their respective fields of work/talent.

You have to pick the right game for it. Some games like GTA are great for this, you can just mess around in town with cars and guns and have a blast. Imagine you have a friend playing with you, what would you say and do to try to get them to laugh? Yes, it's tough to do this solo because usually with a friend, the other person is doing the same thing and you can riff off each other. Some people can use chat to help them with this, but you have to practice with no chat at all, because in the beginning you have to entertain people with no one watching. Filling dead air is about how you respond emotionally to the actions you take. If you were telling a story, with you as the main character, the audience doesn't really care so much about what you do, but how you do it and your emotional reactions. If your reactions are boring, they'll get bored. If your reactions are entertaining, they'll love you. This is one reason why reaction channels are so popular on YT, though I never really got into them that much. Most people have boring reactions to things, and they want to experience what it's like to react to things in an entertaining way.
Beyond emotions, it's really about going off on tangents about trivia. Gura is a great example of this because she will relate what's happening on screen to random trivia, and then she can talk about that trivia or pop culture item for a while and it becomes relevant and engaging, especially if the viewers know the things she is referencing. Here is a timestamp for an example, I just pulled it out of nowhere, it's not the best. It's decent. She relates a character's name to the anime Yuri on Ice for example. Anyway if you can watch this clip and realize how she turns "choosing which employee to hire" into something entertaining, you'll understand it a bit more. Notice how there is interesting stuff on the screen too, that's because the game is good for this.

Also if you don't have any chatters, you can get a friend or load a bot with premade lines or questions. Then new viewers will be able to se you react to chat, even if it's fake in the beginning.

Stream for US times only.

Join NijiEN instead, you'll get to stream to a growing and supportive fanbase without having to meet retarded Minecraft quotas and mandatory collabs imposed by a powertripping tranny.

This is one of the things that annoys me about Holofans, as a Holofan.
