As a male how do I get the fujoshi audience?

>>3658624
Maybe try finding another male to debut with? Other than this, a healthy but reasonable dose of BFE.
The more well-known gachas that fujos seem to like include Twisted Wonderland, Genshin and Obey Me!.

>>3658624
Be an artist or voice actor. Do a lot of BL and shipping with other male vtubers.

>>3659297
Also, bromance tier collabs

>>3649535
I'm late to the party, but seconding this. From what I've gathered, the two talents that left did so because VirPro was more focused on numbers than actual meaningful content. They also don't appear to understand how social media works based on how little they actually shilled their talents.

I applied to VirPro because it can not be worse than the numbers I currently do.

>>3658624
i hope your gay and a twink anon...

>>3659692
Perhaps I should be more clear - VirPro is going to mandate what you play and with whom in their pursuit of higher numbers. That's not the way to grow as a VTuber. The only good thing they offer is assistance in model creation/rigging. But don't think you can do what the other two talents did and just drop off VirPro if you don't like the management pressure. Those talents owned their models ahead of time and retained rights the entire time. Panda and the others still with VirPro would have to give up their avatar completely if they left.

>>3659535
I thought they left because they were dating?

>>3659993
That may have factored into why second of them left. But the initial reason the first left was for those reasons I outlined.

>>3660070
I applied but that worries me did she talk about it somewhere cause I can't find any info about what they ask you to do?

>>3658624
cute anime boy or sexy villain
Look up like top anime guys and look around in fanbases for what the girls like

>>3660128
It's somewhere in one of Yuma's streams not long after the collab stream with Yuria and that one tabletop guy I can't remember the name of.

>>3660148
Maybe if you get a pal, you can do a pure hero himbo / sexy sarcastic demon lord combo

Is it a good idea to be upfront about using a voice changer? I don't want to be deceitful and I think people will understand that I want to protect my privacy.

>>3660333
Checked. This is such a good concept.

>>3660424
It is a good idea to be upfront about it desu

>>3659692

VirPro is the worst small-time agency you could've applied to. They are way too shady, bad contract, and even worse numbers than the others. If you want to go for it anon nobody can stop you. It just is not the way to get started. You'd be better off as an indie than with them.

For smaller startups, Tsunderia and Prism are good for pre-established. Akio and Cyber seem good so far for newer companies. Don't tie yourself to a bad company like VirPro

Pomu Rainpuff scheduled her stream during when I was going to do my first stream. I'm not saying I was expecting anyone to show up, it's just that I wanted to watch her debut and now I gotta reschedule

>>3659856
>Panda and the others still with VirPro would have to give up their avatar completely if they left.

Isn't that normal when you apply to an agency? Unless you buy them after like the myholo girl.

>>3661213
If you don't have an avatar coming in, yes. Frankly it's predatory and gives the agency far too much control over you and your content. Because all they have to do is threaten to graduate you and make you lose all your hard work in order to get you to do what they want.

>>3661259
Not everyone is Suisei, I doubt they'll let you bring your character in.

>>3661259
Hololive does this too right? Or literally every other agency. I doubt they would just threaten to graduate a talent after putting in the money of a model. The current talents are playing some debuff shit too so I doubt they are forced to play that.

>>3661389
Hololive can do it because they're the biggest and just being able to put them on a resume and to develop entertainment industry contacts is plenty reward to keep post graduation. VShojo kept all their models, upgrading some with agency money but pretty sure all the girls kept their rights. Otherwise graduation is always on the table for other agencies.

I wonder, if your applying for something like hololive and you're already a vtuber, would they want you to make a new character for the application? I noticed they asked for you to make one and use it in the application and it would probably be fine to use an old one, but would they prefer applicants make a brand new one after all?

>>3661546
It's just pleasantries, they already have models made and you pick from what they give you. You're not going to use your model.

>>3661546
>would they want you to make a new character for the application?
they don't care. you're not getting your OC into Hololive either way.
>I noticed they asked for you to make one
they didn't. they said if you already have a character, you may use it in your audition tapes, but if you don't, simple voice over clips was fine. there was no requirement to make/have a pre-made character.
> but would they prefer applicants make a brand new one after all?
again, they don't care. they're gonna give you a model once you join anyway.

>>3658624
play a BL game and get aroused to it

>>3661546
For the application you just have to pretend to be in character to show off your ability to do so. But you're going to leave that character behind if you got in.

Anybody male sent an audition to Akio Air?

>>3661570
>>3661577
>>3661595
>use their model/ character
Source? Off the top of my head they did that for gen 3 and I think gen 2 but then you have Luna in gen 4 who doesn't fit in character and design wise at all with the others. Im asking because I have a character concept I love that Id want to use for the next En audition and hopefully use if I was miraculously accepted

>>3662944
it won't. stop.

>>3662962
>stop.
I wasn't that other anon and trusting other anons' words for it isn't enough. I just don't remember anywhere that says anything about using their premade characters unlike gen 3 where it was explicit that you were auditioning to be one of 3 available characters. I just want to know because I don't want to be too invested in the idea of using my own.

>>3663410
from the app itself

>>3663410
>>3663542
Not to mention the only known person to go into Hololive and keep their character model was Suisei, and she got in via INNK instead of the usual vtuber auditions. No one should ever think they will get to bring over their existing character.

>>3663542
Okay, don't feel like debating interpretations tonight but I'll just say that part is specifically in regards to using your own character model and the EN auditions never stated your auditioning for a specific character unlike gen 3 BUT I suppose I'll still take it with a grain of salt and take that an OC will not necessarily transfer.

>>3663637
>being this mentally deficient
ngmi

Why not give my friend a shot? Playing genshin right now on twitch, her name is kinyakat

>>3663653
just want viewers: shill in /wvt/
want critique/advice: shill here

>>3663608
I think you anons' are misunderstanding me, I'm just wondering if I come up with' let's say' being a sugar plum fairy as my audition and get in and want to be a sugar plum fairy in hololive. Not I already have a sugar plum fairy model/ indie career and want to continue it in Hololive.

>>3663647
>can't read english
ESLchama...

>>3663673
My B, should've lurked more

>>3663688
Oh, in that case no idea. I know talents get some say in the design but often they seem to have a general sense of "theme" with generations, so if your idea doesn't fit then it wont really get considered. Past that point only people in Hololive can really say. In general the characters seem to fit the talents themselves pretty well, so theres definitely some back and forth.

If I rig a torso-up model in live2d can I easily add on the lower half of the body in the future, or am I going to have to redo the process from scratch?

>>3663637
You're so stubbornly retarded anon lol. But here, so your smooth brain can understand: (1) you don't get to keep your crappy OC, (2) they haven't done pre-made designs in a long time, but (3) you do have a say in what's made for you so elements/inspiration from your OC could get added in. But don't worry about any of that because you'll never get to the interview stage.

>>3663908
you would have to rig the body again but anything neck up can stay the same I think so not from scratch

what sorts of non-stream video content would you guys be interested in watching from vtubers, most likely in-character?

i'm planning on doing stuff like game retrospectives and other things like that. i think it might be interesting but i'm curious what others think

>>3664016
I enjoy Matt McMuscles and Fudj a lot if that helps. Matt is roughly character=creator and fudj is unironically autistic in the absolute best way, Should be good. What is your chuuba's theme/character?

>>3663909
>asks for source
>only source given was a part of a sentence talking about the model used in the audition
So narrative then. Since you don't know how to read I'll re-iterate that it doesn't matter that much whether I would keep my audition character concept or not. I'll even answer my own question for you that even supports your argument since you don't know what source means. https://grapee.jp/en/169910
>The members who will be appearing in the future also have such details based on a "certain theme," but that's still a secret.

For holo and niji you do not keep your character. Most of the time they already have the characters nailed down and are auditioning for those characters. You're fucking dense

>>3664652
>Reading impaired anon still thinks I'm arguing about wanting to keep my character and not wondering where they keep pulling information out of their ass

Is it okay to talk in your normal voice or should I put on an act? It seems like most of the male vtubers who are doing well have some kind of a voice they're putting on.

>>3664885
Unless you're ready to commit to following kayfabe until you graduate, use your normal voice.

>>3664932
Doubt I'm ready to commit 100% to it. I'm not even sure what kind of voice I'd put on. I remember people shitting on the aristocrat voice, so I know I'm gonna avoid that one.

>>3664151
I'm definitely taking a huge inspiration from Matt. What Happened? Is one of my favorite YouTube shows. My chuuba's character is basically an overgrown hot topic fangirl who decides to become an evil mastermind and take over the world through VTubing. The idea is that every video/stream is secretly a hypnotic broadcast.

So you're a babiniku villain?

>>3665471
In lore I used to have a male body before I made this one in my lab. That's my explanation for the voice

I know it won't please everyone but hey, it's what I got

I figure this is more an /asp/ thing than a /wvt/ thing. In short, I'm looking for feedback on my most recent overlay change. It's specifically set up for Pokemon atm, but the general idea is the same for regular games. Bottom tabs scroll text of recent follows, subs, and bits. Right grayed section is for chat. Above the main screen is Stream Avatars. And I don't think I need to say anything about the charity tracker.

I'm mostly just trying to bring polish to when I actually do non-tabletop streams. Those have their own unique overlays that are themed to the specific system/setting.

>>3666068
It looks good but I would not devote so much screen space to the rules. I suggest dragging your bottom screen capture to where the rules are so your model doesn't obscure anything and bring your chat a bit wider so isn't so narrow

>>3666208
Hm. The problem with the chat window is that I'd have to shrink the other screen captures in order to make it wider. I can definitely swap the bottom capture and the rules, though. I mostly had the rules there so I don't have to set up a Nightbot timer or command every time someone asks.

What theme are you going for, /asp/? What makes you unique and stand out?

>>3666367
I want my content to be super high production as well as really weird and off-kilter. Not VShojo-type where it's a lot of crude, low brow humor, but more like an Eric Andre type thing where it's more smartly written. I also want to do a lot of original web content that takes advantage of the medium of VTubing. We're moving anime characters and we should exploit that beyond streams imo

>>3666367
I'm trying to keep up a kayfabe during my streams and extra content in/out of streams. Maybe it isn't super duper special but I'm going to try my best to at least make it a little bit of an experience

>>3666367
Evil. Once I start uploading highlight videos to youtube, my outro is going to be a little girl letting the viewers know I'll stop beating her when I get a thousand subscribers, and I might let her see her parents again at ten thousand.

>>3666553
Holy fuck

I'm evil too but dayum bro

>>3665307
its very jarring when people i've seen on my twitter timeline pop up here but i guess this really is the only place for this kind of discussion

Hi im new to 4chan is it okay if I post my twitch channel here, I'v been having a hard time getting above 10 viewers / chatters let alone getting any connections

>>3666641
I've been trying to branch out more, yeah

Twitter is hell and I've got things to prove besides the fact that I can tweet

>>3666672
Not until you follow that one guy on twitter, like you were told in the other thread.

>>3666672
Sure, just realize you're posting on 4chan

again im new to 4chan i dont understand

>>3666367
Theme wise not really anything. I want to focus on my niche games and movie talks to attempt to stand out.

>>3666572
if you think that's bad, wait until you find out i'm hiring a drug addict to do it because it's cheaper and easier than finding a VA on twitter

>>3666806
if it works it works ig

>>3666641
it's actually kinda strange how this place is literally the only site that has real discussions on how to become a vtuber. twitter is all just shills, reddit is flooded with 2view no names just spamming their twitch links when they go live. and all of the discords are just memes about hololive and nijisanji. zero talk about indies or starting as an indie.

>>3666367
I wanted to go for a mix of academic and fortune teller; the latter sort of fell though since I wasn't confident enough in doing a fortune telling stream; though that was months ago before I even hit affiliate so it might be something I go back to. I have fortune telling redeems though that have seen a bit of use
The teacher side comes from my weekly lectures; I don't think either individually is unique but I don't know of anyone that does both

>>3666873
I used to be on a discord that had this sort of atmosphere, but it degenerated fast

I kinda like it here. It reminds me of the best parts of that server, but not as fake

>>3666873
based.

>>3666941
I do some educational stuff on my YouTube channel, but it's pretty targeted to a specific audience.

>>3666367
I want to be a bratty shota magician who has the kind of fanboy interest in history and humanity only a shameless isekai'd anime character can.

I just have a hard time getting noticed, desu I really just want more chatters

>>3667241
That's how it goes. Network, grind, and find a way get eyes on your channel. Then its up to you to entertain enough to keep them there to chat.

>>3666367
I don't really know what I can do to be unique, I just want to be a femboy tanuki and play card games

>>3667293
This. Honestly people want things to go so quickly but I think it only hurts you. Allowing yourself to grow slowly means your fans will be more dedicated if they choose to stay.

Ill definitely post more often on here once I'm off hiatus, might be nice to see some of you there

>>3666068
>Donation drive to ASAN
Honestly, based. Thank you.

>>3667241
Become a vtweeter for a while. Streaming is a bad way to become a successful streamer.

>>3667365
This is one of those pieces of advice that sounds like ass but it honestly does work

Just from tweeting I've managed to get a "safety blanket" of average viewers to bump me up in the twitch list a bit. Now I can focus on other avenues to find new viewers without worrying about literally no one showing up

>>3666367
well theme wise i thought of an old cartoon character whos a failed actor down on their luck so they try vtubing

>>3667057
I'd watch the heck out of your streams Anon.

>>3667409
Creating content > not creating content. Just stream, you can tweet when not streaming.

>>3667463
That's pretty much what I've been doing. I def tweet a bit tooooo much but it's just a bad habit I need to get over

I've been sticking to a schedule for months now and it's been going super well, really proud of it

>>3666367
Fat bee becomes chuuba to document their weight loss journey and hopefully motivate others struggling with the same issues

>>3667354
It's something I've wanted to do for a while. May being Mental Health month was a good push. I'll probably do Extra Life later in the year as well.

>>3667440
Thanks anon I'm auditioning a bit so I don't know if that concept will ever work out for me
but when I inevitably get rejected you know what I'll be up to.

idk I feel like no matter how much I post or stream I dont really improve

>>3667601
try something different, adapt activities that you like from other streamers into your stream, only posting and streaming just for the grind is not enough

thoughts on my model btw? im curious

>>3667674
it's different (in a good way)

>>3667708
im glad you think so. i want to marry the cute anime girl look with a very different tone and type of stream compared to other vtubers. im happy it comes across

>>3666367
I just wrapped up a reading-stream and I found myself to be a lot more relaxed than with my previous two gaming streams. There (obviously) wasn't the issue of having to fill in dead-air. There wasn't the worry about entertaining because you simply stick to the story.
Reading is a debuff I suppose. Still, I might make readalongs, manga & text-heavy games my niche. It's still too early to say though.

>>3666941
Tarot streams are pretty cool but kinda reliant on an active chat, aren't they? I'll have to lurk more to get your redeem.

>>3667674
Looks like an edgy, cyberpunk Homura. How are the facial-expressions?

The thing is I do that and it doesnt really do anything, I feel like people just might not like me

>>3667365
man I have no idea wtf to tweet. idk how people can just pump out shit every hour

>>3667748
im not at my pc rn but I basically toned down the standard vroid faces and made them a bit more cunning and sexy (I got a lot of use out of the angry eyebrows). The fun face got turned into a more cocky, sexy smile for example. I also have an expression where my eyes turn hypnotic

The claws also move with my expressions which is the coolest fuckin thing

>>3667830
What's your twitch handle mysteryposter?

>>3667409
How did you go about it? What are your tricks? Assume I'm an autist with no social skills.

>>3667835
>idk how people can just pump out shit every hour
No reason to need to do that. Tweet your go live stuff, your post-stream tweet, and any news that comes up. Other than that, retweet stuff maybe.

>>3667841
>The claws also move with my expressions which is the coolest fuckin thing
Yeah this is a good model with all this coming together. I'm usually opposed to vroids because most of them are cheap but you put in good work.

I will now watch your stream.

>>3667892
I gotta give credit to my modeller. @piicyo on twitter. I met em on the VRoid discord and they did such an amazing job. They deserve the world

I just made the concept desu

cupcakewarp

Lads which theme should I go with?
vampire or goblin
I'm more of an aggressive kind of tomboy that likes to joke around so I can work with both pretty easy but cant pick for shit

>>3667858
I honestly just barged into the vtuber hashtag and networked the shit out of myself and things just kinda worked out

I try not to be a shitposter vtuber but it just kinda happens sometimes

>>3667967
Honestly a goblin vampire might be kinda funny

I'd probably go goblin if I just had to pick one, though. I've seen a lot of vampires, not too many gobbos

>>3667967
>Aggressive tomboy
Vampire if you want to get the weeb audience. Goblin if you want to get the Midna fans.

>>3667967
Goblins are more unique. I've seen a few vampires but not a single goblin.
An aggressive tomboy vampire is unique on its own though.

>>3667748
You have a very soothing voice! It's hard to think of things to chat so sorry I didn't say much. But ill definitely tune into more read alongs.

>>3667967
I feel like a wearwolf fits tomboy personality more. But out of the two go for goblin.

>>3666367
I’m just going to be myself really, I’m usually quiet around people I don’t know but been practicing to be more open, with my friends I’m usually the center of the jokes 65% of the time and can be very energetic, I would like calmed and friendly but also having moments where I would burst out laughing and make weird noises out of nowhere that aren’t on purpose but that I actually normally make, overall a reliable and kind friend that shares common interests with you and that makes you laugh, in a single word
>wheeze

>>3667953
I skimmed over it, I think with the material they have and with a lot of streams including their friends, they should compile a "best of moments" from the individual games and put it on Youtube. The main model is really cute. The layout is nice artistically but a cluttered at times. The energy levels and topics discussed feels like a general Discord call, which is fine, but isn't what I personally looking for in my chuuba content.

How bad would saying the n-word on stream be if you aren't trying to cater to a large audience and aren't building up a resume? I have a habit of saying racial profanities when things aren't going my way playing video games.

>>3667952
>shark teeth
Based. I need to look you up.

>>3668268
have a pre-written "apology" post read to go on twitter if you get called out. take a week break, and then go back at it like nothing occured. happened to Ash_On_Lol and no one cares anymore.

>>3668279
They honestly aren't perfect. They're SUPPOSED to lock together when I smile, like in this art, but I'm gonna need a live2d for it (maybe some blender trickery)

But if you truly wanna check me out... Ahem.

My name is Night! I'm the world's ULTIMATE evil mastermind, and I will take control of this filthy universe through the incredible hypnotic power of VTUBING!

I'm on hiatus right now, but I've got a backlog of content for my minions to enjoy on twitch.tv/night__paradox!

desu lately friends joining would do other things so im possibly gonna start kicking them out of my calls if they keep coming to my stream to not really participate

>>3668351
I'll check you out... But you seem to be doing pretty good for yourself

>>3668763
Thank you. Im doing my very best for my community and I'm going to continue to do so

>>3666367
I want to use streaming as an outlet to tell stories that I'm uncomfortable recounting in real life, like being unable to get an erection to strippers in front of my family or when a friend offered to let his fiancee take my virginity.

>>3668960
Brother, you need a therapist. Not a stream.

>>3668960
You're fucking golden if your life is full of stuff like that. Make sure you write it down so you don't forget a thing, keep a list of tangents to go on when there's dead air, or you're getting from point A to B in a game. It's a huge buff to be full of interesting stories to go down, even if you don't happen to be great at delivering them.
>>3668995
Also maybe this but what's the exact reaction you want to farm.

>>3668007
>>3668017
>>3668053
That was pretty much what I was thinking vampire are a bit over done but they are cool as shit. So I may just go goblin and with vampire undertones.
>>3668149
For some reason werewolf don't do anything for me even though I am a dog person. also if I went werewolf I can see my self getting a weird furry fanbase and I would not want that one bit

Do any kayfabe chuubas have tips for building up a new kayfabe? I feel like I can't stream properly when I'm not being myself. Should I just build my character around who I already am?

Yo. I’m part of a black company and sort of want to kill myself. Ask me any questions.

>>3669272
what are you drinking tonight?

>>3669272
ok
What are u wearing

>>3669285
Asahi Super Dry.

>>3669296
uh.. khakis

>>3669272
how can i support your career?

>>3666367
I want to be the guy that just goes into a 180.

You know. be the nice guy at first like your generic. chill vtuber guy

Then suddenly you're just kind of sick of it all and you talk about your frustrations and feelings with the algorithm. Turn into a heel Blur of what's part of the show and what is real.

Kinda like what Brian Pillman did in the wrestling industry. a loose canon? perhaps.

>>3669296
A JK outfit I bought at Don Quixote. Next.

>>3669304
solid choice. i used to drink a lot of that back when i worked in Japan. Asahi Super Dry and a lot of Strong Zeros. you doing alright, anon?

>>3669321
Support small company vtubers and you’ll incidentally support me as well.

>>3669272
What's your contract stipulate in terms of how much of a take the company gets?

>>3669272
Why don't you just quit then?

>>3669346
>>3669396

Unfortunately not. I’ve been crying my ass off thinking about how I got duped into signing a predatory contract. Even if I could get out, I’m not sure if I want to since I already have a community I’m attached to.

I want to stay in this industry but I don’t want to be abused.

>>3669367
30% of everything. Company owns tweets, videos, voice clips, everything.

>>3669417
Lemme guess - you wanted a model made or maybe didn't have the equipment but didn't have the funds, so you turned to the agency?

>>3669417
that sounds like absolute ass, anon. i'm sorry you're stuck in that situation. is there a duration before you're free to go?

hey idol hopeful, you can still post with your tripcode. if your manager asks, you can say that some fag guessed the code or something like that. some 4chin tripcodes are non-sec*re unlike 2ch anyways.

>>3669361
sorry i seriously doubt i can find you that way.

>>3669447
That’s about right. Little did I know the company would not provide ANYTHING other than that. Advertise on your own, train on your own, hire clippers on your own, buy your own promo art.
>>3669448
It’s rough but I’ll get through it. Just have to remember your hopes and dreams y’know? I can get out after one year but I don’t want to lose the IP so I’d like to make some money before that. It should be around $3000 to escape from the contract and keep my IP.

I love my fans and I want to keep things going.
>>3669498
That’s alright. Letting me vent here is enough, anon. I appreciate the thoughts and support. I wish you the best in yojr journey too.

>>3669417
leave hints to your community and blow the dogwhistle?

Why do you respond to LARPs?

>>3669417
Maybe this is wishful thinking, but my guess is that this is Deus Ex Monstrum. Everyone in there is struggling and doing barely better than the homebrew indies here.

>>3669545
I’ll think about it, anon. Thank you. Not just yet though, I want to make people smile not make them worry.
>>3669593
I can’t make any comment regarding companies, but I hope everyone out there eventually reaches a point where they can make it without predatory contracts.

>>3668995
I do have a therapist. He's alright. Haven't breached any of those stories with him yet, though. It's a process.

>>3669033
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Those stories would be like trump cards. Of course, I also have to be a generally good streamer to get people in the stream long enough to tell those stories. So, we'll see how that goes.

>>3669514
>It should be around $3000 to escape from the contract and keep my IP.
hopefully you'll be able to hit monetization soon and get out of it. and i'm sure your core community will still follow you out. people still go out of their ways to look for vtubers who re-incarnate and stuff, even if the size of that audience may be smaller

>anons pretending to believe LARPs

>>3669656
Good luck, anon. While you are attached to your community, it's just not healthy for you to continue staying there while doing nothing.

>>3669698
Hopefully, yeah.
And I also hope to connect deeply enough with my community to create that sort of bond.

Reincarnating is scary. I’ve grown attached to my persona and I’m not sure I can play any character better than her. We’ll see though. This is all for the future.
>>3669714
Thank you. Health matters a lot. But getting my foot in the door in this industry is very important too. I’ll try to balance this.

My growth is very good. I just have to keep it up without letting the sadness seep through.

Thank you to everyone that talked to me. It really eases my mind to chat about this with fellow /auds/.

Take care on your journeys, and good luck.

>>3669801
>using /auds/ after the rebranding to /asp/
that's some OG stuff right there, anon. i wish you all the best and hope things turn out for the better.

>>3669801
ganbatte, come back any time.

>>3658624
Do your otoge and BL reps. Analyse which characters are the most well received and what makes them well received. Then try to add these traits to you're self.

nta, but what
a
coincidence
;)

>>3669272
Is the company NA or SEA? Have you tried auditioning for other companies?

>>3670061
Yeah, I thought that too! Termini, if you’re reading this, lmao what are you doing.

>Tweeted 5 minutes after the anon post
This is the one time where I actually want it to be fake holy shit

>>3670061
Fake or not, I wish all of our chuubas the best so they can become idols and inspire lots of people. I know I'm moving in the direction I am because of them.

How much of a debuff are GSG?

>>3670437
same mindset here. i wish every /auds/chuuba the best.
>>3670439
>GSG
explain

>>3670457
Grand Strategy Games. CK, HoI, EU, Stellaris, Dominions.

>>3670555
those are debuff games by default, anon. the only games that come close are:
>FTL
>Binding of Isaac
>4x speed Pokemon Nuzlockes
they end up being nothing more than a slightly flavored zatsudan because of how slow they develop. and unfortunately, chuubas who play GSGs aren't the best at zatsudans.

>>3670555
>>3670439
I imagine not as bad as the 4x I intend to play. August sees the release of a new Conquest of Elysium, a series that's near and dear to my heart, and It's a super debuff but I don't care because I'm passionate about it and know a lot of it so hopefully that'll compensate.
The reality is, anything that's not on the top 50 twitch charts is pretty much a debuff. If you want to get famous you'd play Fortnite or some other such thing. Paradox games have their die hard fanbases that might not translate well if you start playing other games outside of it, but It's not the worst place to start. Dominions however, I don't see being a very streamable game. Amazing to play, but I've tried to watch even edited lets plays of it and It's just not a good viewing experience from what I've seen. But by all means, chuuba dominions hasn't been tried yet, so who knows...?

>>3670061
She’s an idiot for mot just posting like this instead of using a tripcode like a faggot when she started head threads.

>>3671045
>instead of using a tripcode
how new are you?

>>3426508
Can you make me a BSC mempool sniping bot?

>>3671069
I was here the day this board was made and a tripfag started making the /auds/ threads before debuting a week ago and now she’s complaining about working for a black company.

>>3671177
nice larp. you wanna try harder with you fanfiction?

>>3671210
Did you not know that /asp/ threads started coming out after /auds/ was no longer being created by Idol Hopeful or what? I’m not sure what you’re trying to get at.

What do you guys think about this art style? Can you see a character in this style making it big?

>>3672175
art style is fine. the hard part is being unique and having a nice voice

>>3672175
Yes, it looks very clean and professional.

>>3672175
Regular cumbrain bait, nothing wrong with it.

>>3672255
>>3672271
>>3672278
Thank you for the input!

stay strong terumi! i hear you guys can collab outside your group a month after debut? i hope you're able to make some good vtuber friends to support you!

>>3663908
yes, easily.
if your character is a full body drawing already, it's gonna be very easy to rig the rest. either assign the parts to the existing parameters or make new ones.

if your character only is a half body drawing, I'd recommend drawing the rest of the body in the same psd and then importing it (but not replacing the old psd) it should work fine.

>>3666367
I'm gonna be cute. I will melt hearts. nothing of value will leave my mouth, only cute noises. I will be the only reason some of my viewers will be able to go on with their days. I will be offering the perfect girlfriend and little sister who depends on you experience but instead of socially hindering them even more I will encourage them to do better in life.

>>3673502
Oh a supporting-gf chuba? That's new.
When are you streaming?

>>3673565
nta, this is also my gimmick but I specifically want to drain wallets and turn people into goslings

>>3671234
asp threads started coming out like months after; sometime I think around the mid 20th of auds threads

>>3673802
so.. your average thot

>>3669801
I wish you the best of luck and hope you can get out with your character intact! I'm sure a lot of anons that started back in January and February were able to take some of your advice to heart and push themselves further.
Remember: stay grounded, and stay hopeful.

>>3674101
I remember the auds threads.. back then I didn't even have my model design yet... just a few ideas. now I have an average of 20 viewers

>>3667748
>Kind of reliant on an active chat
yeah; back then I was super unconfident; I wanted people to like, send curiouscats with fortune request topics so that I'd have fortunes to read prepared but no one submitted any so I just cancelled it.
I think the redeem works better honestly

>>3674159
That's awesome! I had just started around that time and now I'm sitting at around 10 average viewers but I do appreciate all the regulars I have the come to most streams

What do you like seeing the most from your regular viewers?

>>3674328
chat interactions. I'm small so I rely on few people in chat. I can entertain people without chat but having one makes things 200% easier and 1000% more fun for me.

This shit is harder to do well than I thought. Maybe I should do the reasonable thing and get out before this hobby sucks the time out of other commitments.

>>3674819
it's easy to get lost in the numbers. if this is really just a hobby for you be more relaxed and stream when you feel like it. you know like a real hobby that you pick up when you want to not because you have to. there is no need for commitment when your goal isn't career streaming.

>>3674864
Yeah I suppose you’re right. I do want to get good at streaming, but I already have a job, so I can live with no one watching me.

>>3674864
Agreed; I've gone into this as a hobby and while I never had any goals pertaining to numbers, it's always easy to get caught up in the thought pattern, especially when talking in communities like this. It's important to not lose sight of why you're doing this, and I have to remind myself every so often that for me personally, the numbers don't matter; as long as I'm having fun and have at least a few people to talk with, that's more than enough for me

>>3674328
just them being happy and enjoying my content!

>>3674328
Them giving me money.

>>3667967
If the goblin is cute that’d be the winner.

>>3666367
I'm going to try and deliver smart gameplay on streams, cooking that isn't cursed, with a high energy personality and a colourful design with an attempt to be seiso but i'm male so I know that no one is gonna be watching anyways
>>3672175
It looks like if the artists at hololive gave a shot at designing vshojo's new talent.
That would sell like hotcakes anon.
>>3667967
If you do become a goblin prepare to be called a little gremlin almost all the time.

>>3669714
Your character is good, but maybe you can take the black company thing and incorporate it into a new character?
But I'll always follow you. You are an inspiration and I hope you can get out of it soon.

>>3669272
Can you give us a range of your size? How much would you be leaving if you just left right now.

anon, you should have been able to figure out who this is by now...

>mess around with OBS audio
>stream and people say it's ok
>watch VOD later and realize my filters were reset and you could hear PC-fans
This post has no substance, I am only venting.

after sporadic streaming for over a month, i'm gonna nail down a proper schedule.

>>3681707
please do anon. Nothing is sweeter to a viewer than consistent streaming times.

>>3681792
i'm not brave enough to set a public schedule yet, this is mostly just for myself to see if i can hold this particular time slot consistently. after i've pulled it off for 2 weeks, i'll go and make it official

it wasn't worth it, /asp/. I had a good time while I was here, but I'm privating all my streams and going back to being an utaite.

I'm too emotionally weak for this parasocial relationship thing. I just want to be friends with everyone.

Bye.

>>3682187
safe travels, anon. we'll miss you.

>>3682187
You'll be missed. I hope things get better for you, anon

>>3682187
You tried it at least, anon. It's alright to take a a step back and realize that this isn't for you.
Channel that energy into something else though; sing your damn heart out you funky little utaite

terumi was so cute today. ol cakes are the best

>>3681049
i didn't read everything when i posted - we all know now

>>3683726
Not sure that I know to be honest. Probably being very stupid, though

Which is preferable?
1: Royalty-free music in the background
2: Cytube-link with playlist
3: Metadata-trickery to remove it from the VOD later.

>>3684299
Is there a guide on how to do the metadata trickery?

I tried have 2 audio tracks on obs so that I can edit vods easier. But then I was muted on stream so I had to go back to how it was before.
Has anyone else run into this problem?

>>3684299
royalty free music. unless you're Amelia-tier and have enough people who care, no one's gonna bother clicking additional links just for music. and metadata stuff just sounds like way more effort than you should be putting into your streams.

>>3684760
you gotta be careful with royalty free music though. Sometimes those royalty free fuckers put some usage clauses on their music and nab you for using it.

Thoughts on a trans vtuber with a female avatar who doesn't try to sound like too much like a girl and instead just owns the deep, androgynous voice? Is there any interest in that or does it just repel people?

>>3684843
Don't make a big deal out of it. Be alright with being read as male.

>>3684843
as long as your upfront about it then your cool. But you will have the trans person debuff

>>3684843
no one cares that much and the vtuber community generally dislikes roommate talk so it doesn't even matter if you're trans or not. why would you even make that part of your vtuber identity?
>>3684839
only ones i know you should avoid are MAKOOTO and TRACKS Inc. everything else seems like they're chill.

>>3684866
Im def used to having the wrong pronouns used by now. It's a shame but I guess people are just gonna do it anyway so whatever

As long as some people call me a girl, then I'm happy ig

>>3684899
I never make it part of my identity. I HATE the idea of being a "transtuber." I never advertise the fact that I'm trans except for very specific circumstances. It's just sort of a fact of life for me and I know people are gonna notice. Can't please everyone, tho

streaming is hard...

>>3685537
then do your streaming reps anon. Practice makes perfect.

>>3682229
>>3682282
>>3682673

I got too attached to my viewer base and the anxiety was killing me to be honest. I want to care so badly, I wanted to be true friends so badly, but I didn't have the capacity to, and these were with the small numbers of 50 ~ 70 average viewers. I can't imagine continuing this any further.

You'd have to be some degree of a sociopath to succeed in something like this and not feel pained or burdened.

Maybe I'll be back in a month or two, maybe I'm gone forever. I just need a breather.

Having eyes on you isn't all its cut out to be. You will still feel lonely, you will still feel out of place in a place where you feel like you're supposed to belong.

Prerecorded content is hard. what do people even want to see?
i thought anime reviews and stuff would do well since obvi weebs watch chuubas but like.
it's doing significantly worse than my streams.

>>3685764
Anime reviews only work for brand new releases, and even then for barely a week into it before everyone moves on. if you're reviewing older shows, it'll never get picked up because it's been done a million times already

>>3685798
:(
onegai anonsama
what to make

>>3685684
Yeah, having people around you sometimes doesn't make you any less lonely and it sucks. Feeling like a stranger in a place that should feel like home is a terrible thing, and something that's really uncomfortable. From the sound of it, I think a break would be a good idea. Just step back and think things through. People will be waiting if you return, and if you don't, then like I said, you will be missed. I'm terrible at giving advice, but for what it's worth, I think that in the end you should go with whatever doesn't make you want to tear yourself apart.

>>3685993
fuck, anon, if i knew, i'd turn it into copypasta and spamming it in every thread. i've been making some educational videos based off shit i've been doing in uni, but no one gives a shit about those either. it's finals season too, but barely any views.

>>3686019
i'm interested in game design, how do you think a video about picking apart what works and what doesn't in a well designed game would be
then maybe i could do a crappy game to sort of
balance it out

>>3685993
>>3686019
Make shit that’s similar to what’s popular, but with a twist. Alternatively, keyword search and pick something you like that people search for and that has few creators.

>>3683819
just reread what was posted here. the anon hinted at it on their account quite clearly that it is them. makes a lot of sense.

>>3686147
i don't have a live2d model to do reaction videos and shit

Do challenges then.
But the best one is tutorials for a niche subject. How to install emulators, how to set up animated overlays, shit like that. I was looking up how cut up a vtuber model for import, and there’s two videos. Be the third.

>>3686452
>challenges
what do you mean by "challenges"?

anyone on phase 3 of akio yet?

>>3685684
>I want to care so badly, I wanted to be true friends so badly, but I didn't have the capacity to
True friendship comes naturally at its own pace, you can't do nothing about it except wait. Which comes around to the next point
>Having eyes on you isn't all its cut out to be. You will still feel lonely, you will still feel out of place in a place where you feel like you're supposed to belong.

Let a long time loner offer you some advice: loneliness is nothing more than perception of the mind. Go listen to some music, podcast, read a book, a nap, just take your mind off it.
In your case you need to accept that proper things take time and you should take it easy, do not dwell on mistakes forever just accept them and improve/move on

>>3686682
I only sent in my phase 1 stuff yesterday, but I haven't seen anyone mentioning phase 3 stuff publicly so I wouldn't worry yet anon, you've got this.

>What do you guys think about this art style?
The artstyle is fine but that's a shit outfit design. Skimpy outfits don't work if they're ugly.

Can you see a character in this style making it big?
Style as in artstyle, sure. But as in concept and outfit, you better have friends in high places, a god tier charismatic personality, a great voice and produce high quality content because you're going to have to make up for the lack of visuals.

>>3687354
Anyone here shouldn't be paying for this imo. Style is so much more important than paying for the artist brand name.

>>3687320
It looks as though they're taking advantage of that iPhone exclusive feature, but there's nothing stopping you from approximating this functionality by putting up .mp4s or .webm or whatever all those porn artists post video to twitter with.

>>3672175
Kinda generic.

>>3687485
The thought occurred to me that it wouldn't really matter if the actor was good at what they do. But yes, I still think it blends in with most other chuubas. Stand out with your soul instead of your body.

>>3672175
Generic, no theme.

PNGtube for a while and find your niche then change models towards that niche.

/wvt/ is trying to groom you. Be careful out there.

>>3688121
Shut up let me groom

please tell me a gmt+1 anon made it into EN2

>>3688121
I will groom the single viewer instead of him grooming me first

>>3666367
might be going overboard on a description and theme, but...

a retired monster hunter! ...who has been unanimously elected to become mayor by her city. what made the city council make such a decision is that she had killed the most fierce dragon known to roam their version of earth.

she's messed up psychologically from beating the fuck out of it though, and she still laments every once in a while about how the dragon was an old friend. for the dragon had gotten bored of humans encroaching on his territory, and he aimed to bring destruction to their kind for theft of his land.

fortunately, for her, the task of being mayor is super fucking easy, leaving her with a lot of free time to heal. what has she taken to with her boredom? streaming! she wants to expand her audience of people. she wants to be friends with everyone!

she'll likely play FOTM games and talk about her life. i already have a lot written for her in terms of stories she will recount. i hope that she instills a comfy vibe that makes people want to tune into her!

>>3688217
Tips on going viewers?

>>3688305
You talk to them and make them feel special and loved

>>3688346
nta but i don't have anyone in my streams. how do i get my first handful of viewers?

>>3688273
This is way too complicated. Start with I'm the mayor for like the first month and slowly expand.
Maybe do city planning games like SimCity

>>3688378
oh, yeah, not all of it is supposed to be revealed at once! think of it as like an evolving storybook

>>3688365
Networking or do something no one else does, I got my first 50 or so followers by playing niche games at a level others couldn't or weren't willing to do. It doesn't have to be a hard game, just a game where you really pick it apart and can explain the how and why.
This isn't the best or only strategy, just what I personally did.

>>3686211
Thank you! Im excited to start posting my content around here. I put a lot of effort into it all and I hope everyone enjoys it

>>3688273
Like another anon said, I think it's way too long to be a description that you put in the "about" section, though not a bad backstory in general, I would say.

Why didn't I get on this bandwagon sooner? Feels like it would have been so much easier that way...

>>3688608
ohh... i wasnt thinking about an "about" section just yet, but i think for something like that i'll just list what i am along with some facts and interests!

>>3688862
Because it wasn't a bandwagon yet when you should've got on.

>>3689154
I meant like how holo or nijisanji have those very short paragraphs to give some backstories to the characters. Basically what you said

>>3666367

Tech-based Henshin Hero with in-depth lore and a slant for Shmups/STGs and fighting games. /m/ as fuck design. New outfits will actually be different Forms, in true modern Henshin Hero fashion, and will try to match them to the genre of the game being played.

Thing is, I wanna design it myself, and while I can draw, my skill is not satisfactory enough yet. So I'm working on refining that, and it's gonna take a while...

>>3687450
What do you mean? Iron Vertex are riggers, you can get art done elsewhere and have them rig it up can't you? Then "style" wouldn't matter.

>>3689763
Are they just riggers? I thought they had artists on staff?
Does that mean people are paying them 4K for just rigging? Cause no matter how good that rigging is it seems like a ripoff.

>>3686311
Same, I just ordered the gear and am about to go into my first foray of actually making songs now that I have the resources.

>>3689363
remember me when you get your movie exclusive form anon

>>3690011
>Does that mean people are paying them 4K for just rigging? Cause no matter how good that rigging is it seems like a ripoff.
You must be new here, welcome to top quality prices. IV is basically some of the best rigging you can get. I'm on a waitlist for an artist that I'll be spending $1000 on, and I was considering getting IV to rig it afterwards, so the total would be like $4000-5000 total, but that option is probably out now since the artist hasn't even started my commission (hopefully I get in for June). They've worked with IV in the past as well so maybe there's a chance they could get me 'in', otherwise I'll have to look for another top quality rigger.

>>3690205

I will, anon. When you hear of a Kamen Rider reject enlisting "Volunteers", that's gonna be me. Hit me up and you might get something nice.

>>3690251
>4k-5k
That's as much as spent on my entire set-up...

>>3690011
they primarily only do rigging

>>3690251
I heard around here that the non-IV top tier of models was around 2k. I just assumed the IV figure people keep quoting was for the total package.

0$ budget master race

>>3690603
The thing is that prices all around have increased for rigging and vtuber art in the past year or two. The 3-4k prices for IV are their general 'current' prices, it was probably a lot less before, but demand is absurd right now and good quality riggers are in short supply.

IV rigging isn't worth it IMO, when you are starting out at least.

Just get a decent rigger for less than half their price. The average viewer won't notice much of a difference and it will BARELY help you succeed. Rosu charges 4k for her models, that's more worth it than IV rigging.

>>3684843
This board at least will shit on you endlessly and constantly call you by whatever gender you "sound" like. See: Artemis. I don't know why everybody is saying that nobody will worry about it, at least everybody on this board will, but nobody outside will care as much.

>>3690716
It depends on the person. I'm in a place where I can spend the money for an IV rig and it won't impact my way of life in any manner. I'm also not really getting into this to make money, but I prefer to make sure I have quality stuff when I do something. Now that IV is out of the question regardless I'll look at other options anyway, but they'll all be getting more expensive as time goes on. However should see it as a personal choice, and not look down on people on take cheaper rigging options. Not everyone has a decent paying job and years of savings like I do.

The last thing I want is a Gura-cat tier rigging, though.

Oh anon I'm pretty sure you will be able to be such a succesful and charismatic vtuber, I can see it

Streamed today after awhile because I've been sick, friends came, rando played monster hunter with me the whole time. Still ended the stream feeling like a fraud. What gives?

>>3691062
Imposter syndrome is just something you have to learn to deal with.

>>3690737
Im just wondering if I could overcome that by having a really really good stream. The Artemis hate is also amplified by them having a really boring stream and being a total twitter leech. But will good content prevail? I hope so.

>>3691062
If it makes you feel better, it never goes away

I know anons are gonna say it's pretty generic, but I'm glad with how well it captures the chill and laid back feel I'm going for my stream. Gonna pngtuber for a bit before committing to a Live2D.

>>3691151
>>3691128
I thought I had it figured out because I already had a past career before doing another job. (Not streaming, and I wasn't bad at the last career it was just too demanding) I know logically you always feel like you could be doing more, but in the last job I dealt with it fine eventually knowing it would never go away. I just don't know it's so hard to deal with again.

>>3691206
Awwww, he's cute <3

>>3691206
It is technically generic, but the art style, expressiveness of non stoic male face and the kinda wavy/curliness of the hair is very nice.

You've never heard of imposter syndrome? You may always feel like a fraud. Or perhaps you really did perform below expectations, so it's important to try to set somewhat objective/consistent expectations for each stream so you can tell if you really did "underperform" in some metric or if you're just beating yourself up senselessly.

Something like "I'll try to tell at least 1 interesting story, or engage with X amount of viewers?" I don't know, whatever small thing you think could possibly make a vtuber "real".

>>3691147
Ah, yes. The solution to all issues. Getting good. Perhaps so, but what is "good content" to you and what is "bad content"? Have you seen any popular streamers who fit your criteria for "good content"? More importantly do you know any unpopular streamers who fit your idea of "good content"? That might prove it's not necessarily a silver bullet.

>>3691227
Thanks, I really loved the soft painterly style that the artist does.
>>3691255
Hopefully I'll be able to add some more distinctive features as I stream and figure out exactly what I'm going for once I transition to a full Live2D.

>>3691262
To me, good content is being consistently really entertaining and never being lazy. I wanna be really high production and impressive and funny and just generally make a lot of people smile.

>>3691226
The problem with streaming (especially as an indie) is there's no real "off work" time. You have no office, no clock to follow, so your brain eventually thinks that no matter what you should be working. You also won't have much to really judge progress since all you have are a few metrics from whatever site you stream on and nothing else.

There's a certain aspect of it where you need to just trust yourself and what you are doing. You have people watching you and randos joining in your content so you already have some people interested.

>>3691307
I don't know why I didn't relate the two. The last job was freelance, so it follows the same pattern of never being "off work". I'll have to get over the "everyone must think I'm boring" and just realize, yes, there are things I could be good at, but I am getting some people coming to most streams. It's easy to type out, but it's harder to beat into my head.

*things I could be better at

>>3691206
Coloring style is good, not a hoodie, has fujobait potential. You did well.

>>3691485
Thanks anon! Not necessarily going for the fujo audience, but it'd be cool if I could tap into it somehow.

>>3691417
>It's easy to type out, but it's harder to beat into my head.
That's how it goes, it's easier to know you're being too hard on yourself compared to actually not being too hard on yourself. Hope you find the success you are looking for.

>anon butthurt on being called out for talking out of their ass because they think they have the final say on audition matters
>half the day later response
Must be ESL because they don't understand I'm questioning where anons are coming up with what they're saying. And the sentence "your character model will not transfer etc" has nothing to do with whether the character you portray in your audition is the same one you'll play when in Holoen. Model does not equal character. Unlike other anons' who talk out their ass >>3663909 >haven't done pre-made designs in a long time
>>3664652 >most of the time they already have the characters nailed down and are auditioning for those characters
like these two who contradict each other, I actually provide sources of information >>3665469
which, while not definitive, imply heavily that the HoloEn style of auditioning is that your audition character is the character you play as.

The scarf can come off! Ignore the green screen, for some reason OBS doesn't like to respect the transparency settings from the program I'm using, so I had to fill it in with green to set up a chroma key.

>>3691615
>three shirts on and a scarf
is this normal up north
im from the equator but this still seems like too much

>>3691636
The jacket usually doesn't stay on, often just the button up shirt + vest while you're indoors. Scarf is good to keep your neck toasty warm when it's windy out, since the jacket usually doesn't cover that much.

As for the model, I didn't want to pay so much for additional clothing separation since it's just a png for now, so it's just the scarf that can be taken off.

>>3691695
oh ok

>>3680068
I'm 100% ok with people calling me a gremlin because my friend group already does it.
Side note do people really hate being called a gremlin? its such a non issue.

I just got on this thread, holy shit you are so much on your own ass, no wonder the other anon stopped answering your shit

>>3691636
Depending on where you are that outfit wouldn't be enough for being outside halfway through fall, let alone winter.

>>3691575
you dont belong in this thread. you are the single most toxic individual to come here

>Anons triggered I asked where they're coming up with their information because it is not clearly stated anywhere and only Hololive and their talents know

>>3658624
Does it even exist? That Mizuno Aki guy got massive boosts and panders like crazy and I think his audience is still mostly gay dudes

>>3692043
He's got some comments on that ASMR video that suggests he's got some appeal to fujos, but I don't know if you can say for sure. Has he actually debuted yet, or is he still making teasers on Twitter?

>>3690881
I get that, though the more important thing is character design and model than rigging. So as long as you do both anon you'll be set. Goodluck

Hello, boymoder in a hard place who's always long for the stage light (i.e. idol stuff)
Will it be better once you take of the hoodie off? Have you done your /vtg/ reps?

>>3664885
>Is it okay to talk in your normal voice or should I put on an act?
Go with whatever is the best sound that you can produce. Whether it made-up voice acted or you natural voice, be as euphonious as you can possibly be.

>>3658412
aw shit /asp/, new jack just died.

>>3694020
someone archive his vods before his channel goes private

Here's hoping Akio isn't another black company

Hire me as your artist and rigger anon, I'll make sure to do a good job

>>3693567
At least the ones managed by slugma do well

>>3694164
at this point, i'm sketched out hard by any company that isn't Holo or Niji. don't know how much i'd be willing to risk the potential of joining some college dropout's pipedream at best or a black company at worst.
>>3694378
examples?

>>3691852
Nothing wrong with it, just that it'll be spammed. I would find it funny myself, for about 5 minutes.
>>3694164
As fun as it would be to do the actual agency experience, seeing anon earlier in the thread talk about her experiences makes me very wary of any deals. Anons, apply to agencies if you wish. Just make fucking sure the contract is worth it and ask every question that comes to mind. Leave NOTHING to surprise. And if it's not worth it, back out before you sign it and cut your losses. Worst case scenario you draw a model yourself like I've been doing (or at least been attempting to do. I can't know for sure how well it will turn out until I start adding colour into it...)
>>3686311
I have an excellent guitarist as my friend who I'm gonna see if I can get music out of. Probably WAY to early to even think about it, but I want every advantage I can get honestly.

I am an English speaking VTuber part of an agency this board is aware of, ask me anything

to gain the secrete to vtubing you must answer our riddle one of us tell lies while the other tells the truth

https://archive.wakarimasen.moe/vt/thread/3672104/#3672348

>I have wondered however that it is a bit odd that most vtubers generally look like an animated gacha or VN character, rather than more directly inspired by you know, fucking anime characters? The otaku medium with motion to it beyond a moving mouth? The format that would make a most natural looking transition to this? ????

>I've thought for the past few weeks now if I were going to design and rig a char and be an indie etc, I'd model myself off something like a mid-late 80s OVA quality anime type shading/lighting effects etc. Because you don't really see anything like that somehow in this field with fucking thousands of tubers, and it'd look actually very unique. I'm guessing someone's probably done it but is a literal 2-view or already graduated.

So I ask you, anons:

Would a live2d model colored, shaded and rigged in the manner of Trigger, KyoAni or PA Works' animation actually work? Or rather, has it worked at all? Would it be less uncanny valley than an animated gacha/VN sprite?

I've watched Solnako on Twitch before and he's got a Trigger-inspired model but it's 3d, but it's pretty nice.

>>3696594
shading is a bit of a pain to do in l2d and rigging is basically deforming and not actual animation so it wouldn't look the same unless you get someone really talented doing experimental shit

>>3696594
sounds like it's be extremely expensive to do via live2d. you're probably better off paying out the ass for a cel shaded 3D model that mimics 2D like that No no Kuni game.

>>3696280
Were you a streamer or vtuber before joining the agency? What do you find to be the advantages of being in an agency? I sometimes wonder how much is marketing and how much is down to having group of chuubas that can interact and synergise.

>3696684
>3696756
>shading
Sorry if you misunderstood! The cel style shading is part of the sprite components as with every live2d ever!

The other vtubers that I know that kind of have this style are And Uge, Usami Ichigo and Azuchi Momo, and Pikamee. And that one english speaking meerkat dude that got mentioned one time.

I know about limiting the frame rate in live2d cubism to mimic cel animation at least.

>>3697549
yeah, I don't know of any of those other than Pikamee if that gives you any idea of whether it'll "work" don't rely on gimmicks, you still need to be an entertainer

>>3696318
not going to say for what should be obvious reasons. i know everyone here is aware of this startup

>>3696387
ill think of something safe and get back to you

>>3697370
i had stream experience before joining and becoming a vtuber but not too much. my agency isn't terrible, the staff is nice but they aren't reliable always. advantages are the automatic buff that comes with being in an agency as well as the quality models they gave us that i could never afford. during my audition though they were kinda sketch

i think marketing is better than the group in the early stages. nobody knows who you are and the hard carries are clippers, word of mouth, and other marketing the company does. not so much hey look they are friends even if we all are.

>>3698228
>during my audition though they were kinda sketch
Then why’d you join up?

>>3698228
that was a joke actually but now my actual question is are you someone who has mysteryposted before your debut before

>>3698297
i was desperate but they proved themselves to a degree i don't regret joining. we are all doing well

>>3698326
here? no, other places yes

>>3696280
anything you should be aware of before you sign the contract? any red flags or things you should negotiate?

>>3696280
Do they automatically throw out prospects for not having a streaming background?

>>3698903
my contract isn't a black contract but in terms of red flags is mainly the cut they take speak volumes on their priorities. 35% or more is black company shit, less and you are most likely safe.

>>3686325
That is cool as FUCK. I wish they moved like that. If I can find a way to rig it up I'll try.

I've got plans to do VR chat streams but I need to get my trust rank up first before I can upload the model

Have fun finding any job on earth that pays you 70% the value of what you produce.

>>3696594
Because detailed art is generally more pleasant to look at? Anime would look like that too if real world factors like budget, time, and labor were infinite.

>>3700714
Even if you were an indie vtuber you wouldn't be paid 100% of the value that you produce at least in respect to each viewer. There will be a lot of viewers who "exploit" you and get entertainment from you which is valuable to them, but not pay you for that value you gave them.
