/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

>>4230675
yeah, there are obviously male corpos like kuzuha and kanae who are very successful but there really aren't many huge examples in the western sphere
Ais Riale (https://www.twitch.tv/aisriale)) is the only one who I can think of that I believe started from scratch and has a big following as a male indie without a previously big roommate account.

You're cute and you're gonna make it.

>>4230745
It’s probably not going to happen anon

I love you

>>4231122
Thanks, you too

I don't know what that video says or what the hell /asp/ suggests, but the general rule of thumb to making the REAL kind of quality content is to make it evergreen. Good "evergreen" content
- skilled karaoke
- highlights and clips of exciting moments in games
- guides and how-tos
- relatable zatsudans
- educational and informational content
- reaction videos of dumb shit that's funny
Bad "evergreen" content
- transient memes
- amongus game play (fun in the moment, but no one will go through and watch the vod aside from clips)
- multiple hours of apex gameplay (any game really, only fun in the moment, not so much as a vod)
- "reviews" (video game and anime reviews only relevant for a year before the next one comes out)
basically, ask yourself, if you make this video, will someone want to watch it 1 month from now? 6 months? 1 year? for example, kurzgesagt and vinesauce are pretty much peak 'evergreen' informational content, tens of thousands of views across a multitude of videos even 4-5 years after they were originally uploaded. each day, someone falls down the bite-sized education rabbit hole and watches their videos.
on the other hand, how many people are going back and watching LinusTechTip reviews of the GPUs that were released in 2017?
_____
Making original music
Making original art
Singing
Modeling
Teaching
Sharing life experience
<instert showcase of any other skill here> Making anything original while streaming it could be considered type of evergreen content. Doubly so if you're doing something that people are largely unaware of. Like showing a pipeline of Blender shader creation. However this is only 50% of its power. The real thing comes into play when you make something both evergreen, entertaining AND unique. Think mario retardy/vidya wrestle/saltybet Think "Twitch plays <x>". _______
Extremely high quality post. For non-Vtuber charisma example timthetatman is someone to check out. He’s okay at fortnite but a fun character.
To clarify on the charisma part (personal opinion): you need to confidently and consistently embody your character. Saturation may see daunting, but if you prepare a character that has a lot of varied prompts to react to what is going on on stream, you’ll have a high chance of making it. This pastebin said it well about consistency: https://pastebin.com/eGzG2CFA
Or, another good way to do personality is to have fun and not be afraid to show it. Be excited about what you do, people like that.

>>4231271
huh, that's some useful perspective on it. i was actually watching some old kurzgesagt videos just now. but god damn i'm a fucking moron so there's no way i can make educational videos.

how are you shilling those?

unrelated, i'm thinking of having lectures, but the subject is kinda super niche. i'm not sure if the average person would actually tune into it. i've heard of Woyde and his linguistic lessons, and that's more like, applicable because you get cool trivia and stuff. but iono if my subject will be as well received by the average viewer.

So new chuuba here, Hi! I'm not sure how networking works. Is it like making friends? Is that networking?

>>4233100
Essentially it's making friends and getting on first-name basis with people.

Someone call me out if I'm mistaken.

>>4233100
Pretty much like what >>4233174 said but also making connections with others in the industry as well as shilling yourself on social media whether it be on twitter, twitch, facebook, etc. It's more or less like selling yourself while also making friends in the process to further yourself and your stream.

>>4233100
network with me onegai

>>4233174
>>4233213
Ah! Then another question, I'm sorry, is there a wrong way of making friends? I often worry about things like this. And I don't wanna do it incorrectly.

>>4233306
onegai?

>>4233366
Just be yourself, and also be kind when you interact with viewers or other chuubas. i.e. if you enter another chuuba's stream don't immediately make it about you or what you're up to, go with that chuuba's flow. As an example you join a stream and follow it, they thank you, you say hello, then you go with the chat's flow or if they ask you how you're doing just give a simple response, start a conversation. Things like that.

>>4233366
There isn't really a wrong way I suppose. Manners & respect is all really (I'm sorry, I was reclusive most of my life and that's all I can say).

Here is a really good blog. The writer's book is fantastic too

Terrible advice to be giving autistic retards on 4chan anon. There's plenty of ways someone can become that one weird person of the group everybody acknowledges but nobody likes

>>4233100
Is that you toma?

>>4233100
that's the cutest fucking pien face i've ever seen in my life

What can I do to have more visibility and improve my growth? Announcing schedules and streams on Twitter seems worthless and I only know a few other platforms to promote my content but it doesn't seem to work either.

>>4233680
Just be actively shilling and be entertaining enough to stick. A few /here/ chuubas have stuck out because they're genuinely entertaining to watch and chat with.

>>4233648
Yeah it's me. I'm sorry.
>>4233666
Thank you.

>>4233744
Aww don't be, I'm actually a lurker in your chat. I usually keep your streams in the background while I do stuff myself because you're always so funny and entertaining to watch. I might not be a chuuba myself but I can tell you from watching others to just branch out and try to make friends with other chuubas, people like Nelson and Bodega for example are always welcoming and actively trying to make friends with other chuubas, that would be my advice to you.

>>4232306
I'll give her a look, sounds nice. But like >>4232392 >>4232497 said how is she getting content out and is it in the best format for what it is? Maybe her history and mythology content could be put in topical videos on Youtube like Extra Credits or Overly Sarcastic Productions. Are the clips just straight clips or are they edited to increase their appeal and entertainment value? Are they dustributed at a time where it'll get the maximum amount of viewers? There are
always things that chuubas can approve upon.

May request feedback for my recent streams that would be appreciated. I was lucky to have kind people raid me my last few broadcasts and liven up the chat. Most recent was a VN-reading.

A more specific question: Anyone know a good method to deal with choking up? The game was quite sad. I'm not so worried about tearing up but rather negatively affecting my voice and it not coming across well.

>>4233100
The doodle looks a bit like Hamtaro. I like it.

>>4234053
*if I may request

>>4232306
The vtuber tag should help a bit, I saw lots of random vtuber streams today and saw lots of new chatters saying " I found you because of vtuber tag"

>>4234053
Your accent gives the VN a nice flavor! I'm not sure on how to not get choked up, but audiences like that sort if genuine authenticity.

>>4233744
I'll be your friend toma. I love your design and your whole vibe

>>4231745
>started from scratch

>>4234053
If it's an emtional scene, a hype scene, etc. People want you to react. Think of stuff like the Danaganronpa death reaction compilations on youtube. The fanbase for those scenes want to see people react to it (and helps them relive their first time reaction).

>>4234530
Yes! Mystery friend!
>>4233792
I will take this to heart and work on friendships! Which I wanna do! Everyone just seems so nice! Kind of intimidating too.

>>4233811
>>4232497
i was thinking about playing a game set in a certain time/region and plan out a lesson on it. for example assassins creed valhalla -> lesson plan on history of vikings, viking mythology, creature facts that i meet in game, scandinavian historical events, notable places to visit, interesting food, animal facts

staying away from politics of course

currently finishing up some games but hopefully the next big rpg will let me do some real teaching. i just want to show my viewers that there's so much to be excited about in this world...

>>4234404
>>4234607
Thank you for the feedback. Sharing the sad scene with people felt incredibly rewarding somehow.

>>4230745
I wasn't thinking of doing it myself, but I was thinking that /vt/ should have its own vtuber/pngtuber group. Maybe someone who just runs a podscast or discussion occasionally about updates/things that have happened/fan and official events. etc.

I don't know what to call it or who should be in it.

>live2d artist i was looking at closed their june commissions
>not sure if i made the cut

Hey /asp/ies! Just letting you know with the flavour of the month advice don’t lock yourself too hard into certain niches! You can have some generalised appeal as well or just sometimes do content because you like making that content! In the beginning stages you have a lot of freedom to try new things and realise what works and doesn’t work as well as what gives you the most happiness so try not to worry yourself into an early grave!

>>4236646
This is making me think.

>>4236623
I think if that did exist, it would be something like a fun podcast. Called Clover Patch News maybe? And if I had to have someone talk about ongoing news and updates...it would be rrat man news.

>>4236646
Doing my first non fighting game stream tomorrow... maybe that will help........

I can tell you guys know nothing about this website...

>>4237050
Why do you say that? Are you going to assume 4chan doesn't have groups who collab with one another or even podcasts and such? Because that would speak mountains more about you than it does about me.

Reddit needs to stop giving their own aspies over to us, for fucks sake. We don't want you, we want to see our /here/s flourish.

>>4237167
Why are you suddenly whining about reddit?

>>4237167
The more people /here/ the better. You want to build up a strong network of cross pollination. Almost like an agency. Try not to worry about it too much.

>>4237167

>>4237167

I agree tho. I like watching people of whom i know they're a bunch degenerates wasting time on an anime-site.

Anon that's a good design actually, with a bit of work and refinement with the rigging it could be a solid choice for a model. Worst case you just design it and all the parts and find someone to rig it for you.

Hey guys, ILLREVIEWANYTHING here again. I'm going to play some RimWorld if some of you guys wanna jump in and hang out to make sure i'm not streaming into the void, that would be cool. Keep your chin up you guys. WE're all gonna make it.

Please no more hoodies, find a new outfit like an oversized ushanka or wearing a gigantic hollowed-out walrus with its fangs tied to your waist like sheathed swords.

So I was >>4019244, and after giving it some thought, I think I'm actually gonna put some real effort in now, those first few streams with no real avatar (I don't think that keyboard/mouse tracker gimmick really counts even as PNGtubing) were pretty much me just testing the waters because I wanted to at least get some streaming reps in, even if they were small. But after that anon shared the little PNGtuber app at the end of the last thread and seeing just how easy that was I've spent the past few hours working on a proper stream setup. I've just got a couple of concerns:
Firstly, I'm just gonna use a set of overlay images someone shared for free on twitter, it should be fine and I quite like it imo, but when it comes to game streams, should I really use it even though it will show mostly blank space (empty chat and recent donation), I know you should always stream as if you have an audience which I think I'll be able to do vocally, but would a stream with almost 40% of the screen being dead space be better than if I were to just have the game full screen?
Second is my avatar, I basically just edited pic related and I think the end result is actually pretty endearing, the only thing is that if you reverse image search it, it all comes up with 4chan archives, is that going to be a bad thing for me in the long run or something? I suppose I could always bluff and say I just found the image randomly online.
Third is what to stream, I know I should find a niche, but I have a good concept for a game I want to play/why I want to play it, but I don't want to "waste" it on a potential 0 viewer stream, do I wait to have a couple of viewers to do it or do I do it anyway?
I'm gonna work hard at this from here on and now that I can officially call myself a PNGtuber I'm gonna try my best to start networking too maybe a link to the discord if anyone is generous enough?. Sorry for the blogpost, but I feel like this is the only way to properly get my head into this

>>4242862
>overlay
just do fullscreen. there's no point in filling up so much of your screen real estate with emptiness.
>archive
i don't think anyone's really going to care that much to do a deep dive into your past. if you want to mess with the image search, spam the shit out of it on social media first, and then make a post here pretending to be some viewer. then you can point to the twitter/reddit/tumblr/etc. post as the first instance.
>waste a game
you can always play it again when you have viewers. it's not like the viewers who tuned into your 0 view stream will be all "hey, you played this before"

>>4242862
there was a list of /asp/ related chuubas posted in the previous thread if you want to find some people to talk with; i'm sure one of them would be able to get you in the discord and most of them would be happy to talk to a new chuuba
make sure you network in places outside of just vtuber circles too though; if you have an idea for a niche, try and find a way to put your stream out there in communities related to that niche!

>>4242775
is this better

DOES YOUR AVATAR ADD ANYTHING TO THE STREAM? YES OR NO?

>>4245647
Yes. I am very muscular and extremely handsome. You could ignore the entire stream and still be entertained by my beauty.

how bad are condenser mics for audio outside of a dedicated sound proof studio? i wanted a dynamic but there weren't any entry usb dynamics, they were all xlr and i didn't want to spend money on audio interface as well so i ended up getting blue yeti. i tried recording something and the audio sounds okay to me after removing noise with audacity but i could just be used to shitty audio.

>>4245799
it's fine, no viewer will be able to tell, youtube compression kills any high quality , same with twitch until you're partner.

>1 new follower from your last stream!
I AM INCLINING

>>4245799
Use NVIDA Broadcast.

>>4246862
nta but i tried to use it but its not compatible with my graphics card; are there any other alternatives? I have a 1070

>>4236759
a homegrown podcast sounds like a good idea as long as you guys don't tell your listeners to start browsing this board. We don't need any more tourists.

>>4247003
Yes, you can get a better graphics card. NVIDIA Broadcast is a godsend and worth upgrading your card to enable. Whereas getting new audio equipment will likely cost more in the long run.

What happened to /auds/? I've been on the other board for a while.

>>4231745
Takahata101 does fairly well too.

>>4248431
auditions dried up and the remaining ones are from pretty sketchy "agencies" so the thread rebranded. most chuubas are also getting started as an indie because they either want to, or are looking to build a vtuber portfolio that they can present for future auditions once they open.

Does Castlehead still stream?

>>4248431
after holoEN auditions ended a lot of people agreed for a name change so we switched from /auds/ to /asp/ since "aspiring vtubers" matched what most of the thread discussion was about at the time anyway
aside from the people complaining about 0 views on their audition videos most discussion has been on the same topic

>>4231745
>merryweather

i don't think there really is an audience that would simp for men. there's like broken millennials who will donate because they've tuned into your good vibes stream for 3 months and superchat a short story about how you make their days better.

but you're not going to find people just straight simping like they do with gura.

>>4242862
Why not stick with your cat thing? The keyboard mashing and mouse animations look great. Maybe you can do something tricky with your PNGtuber app so that the app only handles the mouth area of the cat.

I tried joke-karaokeing an eurobeat song.

I did not them to be more difficult than your run-of-the-mill rap...

Alright so level with me anons. I have an education in acting, specifically theatre. I have some recording equipment (AT mic, mic stand, recording booth, audio interface). I've been really considering trying the Vtuber thing since I've always wanted to try and make online content, but valued my privacy enough to never try until now. My biggest issue is that 1) I have a pretty simple laptop for a computer, 2) I have no experience in streaming or content creation, and 3) I am very technologically stupid. I have confidence in my ability to play a character, but I'm concerned about if my computer and/or lack of streaming knowledge would be a hinderance. I'm also concerned about privacy. How much of a concern should it be for me to consider getting a VPN to stay extra safe, or what are the odds the model could glitch out and my real face could show on stream?

if you can't play an instrument, can you still make something servicable using Soundtrap to make your own BGMs?

>>4253830
youd have to be absolutely fucking retarded to somehow have your face show. it won't show up as long as you don't add the camera source directly on any program you want to use, so you'll be fine.

>>4253830
>I have no experience in streaming or content creation
and you think EVERY other vtuber did

>>4252188
The best karaoke song is something you like, IMO. It's fine to do some meme songs, but if you only do meme songs it'd feel a little hollow, at least to me.
If you're looking for inspiration, take this test and dig through their catalog of songs that fit your range.
https://singingcarrots.com/range-test

>>4253944
I'm not exactly sure what camera source means, since like I said, I'm kind of stupid when it comes to technology, but that is reassuring to know, thanks.
>>4253993
That's fair. I guess I'm moreso just wondering how much of a financial investment I may need to make in whatever programs or tools that are used for streaming, aside from what I already have. I have a lot of recording stuff already because I've been trying to do VA, I'm just wondering if there's anymore big investments I may need to make since I have no real idea what it takes to do vtubing.

>>4253830
>I'm also concerned about privacy
Hmmm. If only there was a privacy guide somewhere, like in the OP? That would be nice right

>>4254496
Yeah I didn't see that. Fair enough, my bad

would it be bad form to include "chuuba" in my twitch account name as opposed to VT or ch. at the end? I'm considering it because it'd be a nice wordplay with my character name, but I'm not sure if it would instantly tie me to /vt/

>>4254772

You answered yourself.

>>4254847
fair enough. thanks for setting me straight

Something has been bothering me about the "1% of streamers have >10 viewers" thing. What is the mistake the bottom of the dumpster viewers make? Is it primarily the lack of entertainment, the shitty stream quality, or is it just the lack of friends?

>>4253933
Seconding this question

>>4255971
Not all "streamers" use mic or cam, so its just streaming the gameplay. A lot of them use consoles to do so, so the barrier of entry is low

>>4231271
>- relatable zatsudans
Move that below, it works for hololive because they have fame, nobody cares what your opinions are if you're irrelevant

>>4256061
So, if you do the bare minimum of interacting with the chat, having a nice looking stream, talking constantly and not sucking at the game, can that guarantee some (ca 2-3) views?

>inb4 "no, make valuable content"

>>4256144
Tell that to Terumi who started out with those zatsudans

>>4256296
her zatsudans have the appeal of insider info and saviourfagging though.

>>4256256
Honestly depends. Discoverability on twitch is shit so it'll be hard to get seen out of all the sea of 1 viewer streams

How can vtubers use OnlyFans without doing the stuff Melody does?

>>4254312
If you have the capacity to pay for a model and rigging then you have the most complicated technical aspect out of the way. So long as you don't get screwed out of it via some scamming or copyright bullshit you're good there.
There are so many tutorials and such about how to set up streams even outside of vtubing that it shouldn't be hard to find all of the information you need to get started; but be aware that there are limits to what a simple laptop can stream.

>>4252774
Watch Rushia
Watch Choco
Watch Kana

>>4230745
Considering Skeb prohibits all communication with the artist (at risk of being banned if they catch you messaging them) it's a terrible place to commission Live2D. There are also no possible revisions, you get what they send you and there is no way to get a refund even if the result doesn't match your request. Also, the artist gets all commercial rights of the work, so enjoy not having the rights of your own character.

Read their Terms of Service, they are some of the worst I've ever read, at least for the client.

I would advise using something else like Fiverr, or DMing the artist in social media.

And before anyone asks, no, Pixiv doesn't allow contacting artists or negotiating commercial rights either.

>>4253933
>>4256000
Yes. I'm making a boatload of original lofi songs on garageband to play during stream, it's not that hard.

>>4256617
do you know what onlyfans is?

That dumpster dive thread is making me feel better about myself, as bad as that may be. WAGMI, /asp/ies. The bar is so, so very low.

>>4256900
you just realized that?

>>4256900
yeah, when they talk about the >10 viewer threshold, they should really mention that 90% of streamers don't put any planning or effort at all and are essentially just clicking "go live", apparently.

>>4236866
Really nice!!!

>>4236866
Nice work, anon!

The 10% metric is really misleading. Lots of people stream but aren’t “streamers” per say. They’re just streaming to show gameplay to a friend or a couple of friends or even to watch their own gameplay layer to see where they can improve.

That whole thread is an embarrassment, but thanks for the confidence boost that I get from knowing that even when I post shit on /vt/ I wont make this much of an ass of myself.

>got a message from the artist asking if I still want a June commission slot
Holy fuck I think I actually made it in. I hadn't heard from them for a few days after they announced they had to cancel commissions other than some existing live2d ones. The journey may finally soon be starting.

>>4262950
congrats anon, i'm still waiting to see if i through the cutoff for my artist. they also said something about having to reject new inquiries after a certain date. just kinda sitting here, twiddling my thumbs.

I was planning on waiting until I got the necessary material to stream, but I just discovered some materials that may allow me to make stuff earlier than expected st the cost of my expected quality. Will people be willing to watch scuffed videos if it meant getting content out faster?

>>4263836
scuff = soul

>>4263836
Quite a few vtubers literally stream themselves making stream assets. Debuts are overrated. Go for it.

>>4263879
>stream themselves making stream assets
Fuck I should've thought of doing that while making my pngchuuba

>>4264573
dw I slapped myself too. When you start out, anything goes, because odds are no one is watching.

>>4264573
artchuubas almost always stream themselves doing commissions (unless the commissioner specifically requests it be private) because it's always good content and makes for nice zatsudan material as they draw/rig/etc.

>>4264624
I don't know, I get filtered a lot by art chuubas cause it's pretty boring to look at.

>>4256144
I disagree. Zatsudans get more views than games for me.

I’m hemorrhaging viewers.

>>4265331
This is why I always stick to 0 viewers. Can't lose what you never had in the first place.

I'm trying to think of some good content I have a genuine interest in. I wanted to learn more about cat spaying while live, but watching videos of the procedure would probably count as gore under Twitch's guidelines, right? And would that kind of educational-ish content even be desirable from a fresh, rookie chuuba?

>>4265668
I would never watch a cat spaying chuuba, what the fuck

Hey /asp/. I’d like to just air out my thoughts a little and maybe get some advice.

Impostor syndrome is hitting really hard for me. I’m always nervous both on and off stream about my audience “realizing I’m a boring uninteresting fraud” and losing interest in me. My constantly lowering viewership only makes this feel more real.

I wonder if my novelty has run dry and I’m no longer interesting, or if I simply made a mistake during one of my previous streams that caused people to dislike me.

It’s nerve-wracking. I’ve even gotten anxious enough to question whether the few people I’ve made friends with like me. To the point of making things awkward.

If you have any advice I’d be really glad to hear it.

>>4265749
I have no interest in performing cat spaying myself or making it a part of my character in any way, it's just a topic for what I'm guessing would be an informational zatsudan type of thing. I was more concerned with Twitch's guidelines as to whether or not surgeries and other formal procedures would be considered gore and ban-worthy, even on a stream marked as mature. I was also wondering how much interest there would be for a research-oriented stream in the first place, as opposed to a streamer already knowing the information and taking on a role as a teacher.

>>4259680
>>4260379
>>4260467

guess I celebrated too early, streamed another 2 hours and got no viewers lol

>>4265887
>imposter syndrome
no idea how to help you with this one. i get it too.
>novelty
that's always an issue, especially if your content remains relatively stagnant. why not try doing some impromptu guerilla streams of something completely unrelated to your core content. treat it more like experimenting and measure how people receive it.

there's also the issue of viewer bleed. you're gonna have to find a way to pull in fresh viewers, rather than trying to keep the ones you've already got. no idea how to help you there though, since i'm having trouble bringing new viewers in myself.

>friends
i'm honestly just giving everyone i interact with the benefit of the doubt. just be friendly with everyone, and if they try to use me, nip it in the bud and establish clear guidelines of what i will / won't do with them. no follow4follow bullshit, no shilling trades, etc. sure, everyone's in it to grow themselves, but that's expected of this field. but at the end of the day, you can still control how much you're giving to others.

>>4265887
You're most likely overthinking that your dwindling viewers is your fault. The truth of the matter is that you can't control if or when people watch your streams. You could have done everything perfectly and they still might leave through no fault of your own. And that's fine. You shouldn't tie your self-worth to a numbers game. Just try to do the best you can and have fun doing it. If it's mot fun, it's not worth it.

>>4266295
Thank you. It helps a lot just knowing you have the same problems.
>friendly with everyone
I suspected something might’ve been up between me and someone so I asked and they got mildly upset at me saying that I was making it awkward. Still thinking about that moment. I try to be nice to everyone though.
>>4266338
I hope so, I’ll try not too. Focusing on the numbers and growth really makes this not fun.

>>4266562
>saying that I was making it awkward
that's a them problem. it's also some passive aggressive manipulative shit that you shouldn't tolerate. i'd be wary and sketch to see if they're trying to use it, and you called 'em out on it. then they try to backtrack and put the blame on you for "making it awkward"

of course, i have zero context in which this came up, but in my experience with abusive relationships, it's often used as a way to manipulate someone.

>>4265887
Keep pushing on man. What kind of things do you want to make? What is the show that you want to see exist on twitch thanks to you? You have to believe in that idea, irrespective of others liking it.
You will always have at least one fan, and that is you. And as long as that guy likes watching you, there will be others.

As for the impostor feeling: all internet entertainment is a giant waste of time. 90% of "proper media" is garbage. We are all impostors here, making things up for fun. Don't think too hard about it.

>>4253830
>I have an education in acting, specifically theatre.
You're overqualified. Get away from here before the losers try to ride your coattails. Get into contact with other virtuals who have acting, radio, or entertainment experience then never look back at this shit hole.

Here's some advice: put down the video games, pick up voice acting lessons. Learn opera. Stop being a boring nobody.

>>4267067
>opera
oh, it's you, the operaschizo, fuck off

So there's nothing wrong with shilling yourself here is there? I know that I obviously shouldn't make it as disgustingly obvious and try-hardy like >>4253871.
But is it fine if I just throw a link to my channel here with a line or two saying what I'll be doing on stream?

>>4267224
shill in /wvt/ this thread is more for advice

>>4266294
It happens buddy, some days I'll be able to hit double digits without any raids and other days I'll have 1-3 viewers; sometimes you just have bad days and you have to push forward!

>>4267224
I didn't tell you that, but yes. Just drop a post in wvt with a picture and a summary. And forget about the thread until your next stream.

>>4267255
thanks famalam

>>4267119
Not him, but I've done that, and plenty of opera singers I know play videogames. Lots of classical musicians play videogames, because tons of people play videogames.

You all should be keeping records of the times and dates when you have the best engagement. Find the patterns then take advantage of them.

>>4266562
When I started, I made sure not to make anything numbers related a goal and it's helped a lot for my mental state. Even when I do get into a funk about numbers when I have a bad stream, I remember both the reasons why I wanted to do this and also the people who do enjoy my content and it really does help me get myself in a better headspace

>>4265887
When I get like that, I remind myself that there are two aspects to this: the quality of your stream and whether you managed to hit a vacant audience. If you want to feel better about the former, you can only really be the judge of that yourself by seeing if you find your previous streams worse than the current ones. If you want to see if you are doing the latter right, that will require researching people doing similar things to you. Maybe someone just happened to be in your category and they are better equipped.

You guys have any tips or recommended EQ settings for someone with a hoarse voice? My EQ analyzers aren't picking up my audio input for some reason

>>4269769
don't mess with EQ settings.

i don't know what you're talking about when you say your "EQ analyzers" aren't picking up audio, because that sounds like you have some issue with your mixer or usb mic.

>>4269896
Oh I shouldn't bother with equalizer settings? I guess I just have a weird complex about my voice being too deep and hoarse/static-y and was spending weeks on trying to fix that.
The usb mic I have is fine and works.

>>4269992
EQ doesn't do anything for your hoarse voice. It either boosts or dampens sounds at certain frequencies. That's it. If you're talking in a non-sound treated room and it's making your audio echo too much at a certain frequency, you can use EQ to dampen the frequency the echo hits so it's not as obvious.

>>4269897
which stream was this? could you please link the vod?

>>4270081
It is LIVE!
https://www.twitch.tv/kongouvt

I kind of... disagree with kongou’s slides here... I think it’s good for respectful unironic autist teaching but you really need to learn how to take command of your own streams.

>>4270287
>you really need to learn how to take command of your own streams.
what does this even mean?

>>4270067
Thank you for the information really. I'm a retard and novice with this stuff and was just looking at guides online to improve audio

>>4270255
This is also mixed advice. While Odettes fast paced sperging has lead her to have some success /here/ I think adding meaningless noise to your stream isn’t adding value to your content. While saying “no dead air” is a thing I think making content that is higher quality than just noise is better?

>>4270345
Essentially if you want to take specifically to one person go for it. It’s your show and you’re leading it with your own charisma and personality. Essentially the opposite of
>>4270103

Sure you might scare of some socially anxious spergs but, if you’re scared of your chat that’s inherently going to come across to your audience when you stream.

>>4270430
Post your twitch stats.

Only small one I've been watching and trying to help grow is Alice Gawa, she's actually really nice to watch, she's learning English really good, she does collabs with other small ones, as well as doing many educational streams to teach Japanese as well as the cultural norms to help others. What made me a bit sad was she was doing a competition with a bunch of other vtubers to win a 3dmodel on Mixchannel, she was surprisingly in the lead until a much bigger industry backed vtuber's owner self donated 10,000usd to launch theirs to the lead, but even still Alice said not to be mean to them. Her birthday is coming up on the second though, so her growing in support would be nice for a gift.

>>4270466
If you won't take me seriously otherwise here you go.

I think being relaxed and happy has serious merit to it and over worrying is the biggest pastime of this thread. I've never once worried about "oh god it's been 10 seconds since I've said something I gotta ramble!!"

>>4270627
Just checking because a lot of trolls come in with bullshit "advice"

>>4270698
Yeah, I've been here long enough to know that, is no issue really.
>>4270717

I feel like this is just "Having feelings is good"(?) or maybe I am missing something.

>>4270627
How active is your chat with those numbers? I feel like if you have an active chat that's pretty fast it pays to single people out if it's super fast since it picks them out of a big crowd. On the opposite side singling out people in a group of 3 can be awkward.

>>4270845
The question was in regards to not being able to deliver commentary through tears or laughing.

>>4270845
>I feel like this is just "Having feelings is good"(?) or maybe I am missing something.
I take it that you've never given a large tip.

Ah, so I am missing something. I can't really watch right now because I am employment. Sorry.
>>4270928
Doing some quickmath on my stats. My average amount of messages an hour ranges between 500 - 1000. But it wasn't always like this for me so I am mostly talking about "back then". The appeal of 2 view streamers is that you can make genuine connections with the streamer vs a large chat where you are drowned out by noise.. You do that by having individual conversations and moments with the streamer i.e. calling them out.

If someone didn't want to have the spotlight from the streamer they wouldn't be chatting. It's as simple as that. The moment they hit the enter key their words are for me to decide what to do with.

>>4271180
Izzimouse? What are you doing on 4chan?

>>4270287
I honestly don't think Kongou's advice has ever been very good at all and that people only like it because he's a decently popular male that tells you everything you want to hear.

>>4271365
Examples of actual good advice then?

>>4271328
i'm pretty sure that's yozo

>>4271365
People keep saying this, but the results speak for themselves. And moreover, nobody gives any actionable counter-advice.

>>4271380
I think Slugma is ten times more practical than Kongou who's basically one of those inspirational speakers that gets by with cold reading but I also think that no one really knows what they're doing in this scene

>>4271491
I've never heard Slugma give an actionable advice though, and I've watched all of her streams. She gives out incredibly generalized advice like "you need to wow me" (what does that mean) and "be engaging (also what does that mean).

>>4271365
I think he overthinks minor details which is nice content in a way that maybe something is a “huh I haven’t thought of that” way but isn’t inherently useful for most people. I like kongou a lot as a person but, unfortunately I would agree with your statement.

Slugma just says be cute and good at streaming, also don't be male.

>>4271471
>>4271517
The thing is that I don't think the results speak. Kongou basically rocketed up in a short period of hype and has since flatlined for months. I respect him but his results aren't any better than the other dozens of vtubers who blow up on hype from debut then fail to have any staying power.
The thing about Slugma is that she's responsible about what she says and gives you actual information. I agree that it's not actionable but it's something reasonable to work with. People follow Kongou and then when they do decent we say it was thanks to his advice, and when they do shitty we say that they weren't good enough.

Ok gamers you want some basic actually actionable advice? Prepare for some reddit spacing for readability.

1) Be able to write down and articulate why someone would watch your streams over anyone else's. Then use that information to shape your content going forward.

2) maintain a consistent brand. Don’t be doing ear licking asmr one day then pro league of legends gameplay the next without expecting a huge drop in numbers.

3) watch your vods and write down the parts you like and the parts you can improve on as you watch. This is hard to do but the parts you don’t like will go down the more you do it.

4) watch other streamers and take notes of stuff they do that you think is good then emulate that in your own streams. Same with negative stuff but the opposite. Every single streamer has something you can learn from.

This is how I personally learned to “make valuable content” there’s more depth to this but essentially these are the steps.

>>4271673
>I agree that it's not actionable but it's something reasonable to work with.
The info Slugma gives is
>male debuff is real
>there are some buff and debuff games
That's really it. There's nothing you can work with that.

>>4271365
I sort of agree, not to say that it is bad though, it's obviously useful and shouldn't be neglected, but it's something that most people would tell you anyway. It should be common sense that your stream won't be engaging if you don't speak, and of course if your throat gets dry after speaking you should have a glass of water by your side. But clearly though it still needs to be said though. Again, it's not bad advice, it's just not some sort of super secret growth tip, which is fine, because some people still need to hear the basic tips

>why do people watch vtubers?
>cute and funny
looks like i'm out then

>>4271774
UUUUUUUoouuuuh

>>4271731
Thank you for your service.

would it positively impact your viewing experience to know if a vtuber is in higher education/professional office work?

>>4271882
does it make your content better for me as a viewer?

>>4271743
Things I remember her saying off the top of her head that were definitely right:
>Consistency is massive
>Collabs are actually debuffs most of the time
>Don't throw yourself at shitty brands like tons of people in the community do
She has harsh words over some stuff people like Terumi actually get fucked on in the scene. Kongou's literally just reinforcing what everyone already says so you nod to yourself and go yeah that sounds good.

>>4238271
Graffiti art come to life

>>4271926
>consistency
this is a nobrainer though, everyone knows this. if you can't even keep a proper schedule, how tf you ever gonna get viewers? this isn't information, it's basics.

>collabs are debuffs
no one here is in a position to collab anyway, and those that do are circlejerking with other /here/chuubas so it's not even a debuff. like slugma said, intra-group collabs are fine, it's only a debuff when you collab outside your group. and /asp/ies and /wvt/'s /here/chuubas are basically an informal group anyway.

>>4271731
I pretty much have been going hard on number 4, I don't really care if I get called out for copying them, I'll fake it till I make it

>>4272002
The real secret is money and luck. Hololive sucks yet they have massive funding.

>>4272002

i'd say out of network collabs are the buff. it pushes your network further and lets you get a foot into other communities. always collabing with your friends just moves your viewers from one friend to the next.

push your network further, don't just close in once you feel comfortable

>>4271926
Collabs are usually short term debuffs but long term gains. They’re a very good way of showing off what you’re about to a new audience. They just have to be done well.

Why not ask Izzimouse, Takahata, Merryweatherey, Krimbo, Ais Riale, or any other triple digit male for advice?

>>4272086
Everyone fucking copies each other so don’t feel like you’re gonna get called out. If it happens enough it just gets called a trend.

>>4256740
I use skeb to find artists to follow on twitter and contact through there

Here's some advice from BungoTaiga.
https://twitter.com/SaricStar/status/1397930598220455937

>>4272252
Is krimbo a triple digit male?

Even so most of these can be boiled down to just having a fan base pre-vtubing

>>4272205
>They just have to be done well.
They rarely are. That's why they tend to be unpopular.

>>4272205
>They just have to be done well.
What are the metrics you use to determine whether a collab is "done well"?

>>4272415
The ones that don't are massively boosted. Ais Riale is the closest thing to a natural grown male and he still owes most of his numbers to connections and advantages.

People just don't want to admit that men aren't viable.

>>4272415
He will be! He's going live in ten minutes.
https://www.twitch.tv/takahata101

Ok so how does she do it? How does she do the TTS automatically without having to type shit?

Obviously she's hooked up a speech to text into a text to speech, but how do I go about setting it up for myself?
there's so many STT & TTS programs that I have no idea where to start

All of those males are mostly established prior to vtubing so using them as examples is a bad idea/not applicable.

>>4272584
is this really the play? if you want to "make it" as a male vtuber, you just spam a bunch of talkshow/interviews and hope to leech off your guest's base each time you go live?

>>4272626
that's networking!

>>4272522
Is it entertaining to watch? That’s literally the only metric there is for the vast majority of twitch content.

>>4272543
>People just don't want to admit that men aren't viable.
It isn't that they aren't viable. They aren't marketed well. I'm looking at you, Cover Corp.

>>4272779
>JPs

>>4272626
That's how you make it in entertainment at all. How new are you?

>>4272610
This is why we focus on Kongou so much. We would focus on ClarityEn, but they were a huge failure.

>>4272609
I thought she was just a super fast typer. That or had a typer while she plays.

>>4272808
Yes. Holostars and Nijisanji are the only notable examples of male groups. All of the others are either independent or such irrelevant companies that they provide no boost.

To the men in this thread:

Please stop thinking of yourself as vtubers. Please start thinking of yourself as content creators. Both the streaming sphere and the YouTube sphere is absolutely dominated by males. That is your audience. The vtuber audience is inherently for “anime waifus”. They will not watch your content.

>>4273072
it's useless to compare the performance of Holos and Nijis when their core audience primarily stems from JAPANESE VIEWERS who have a completely different cultural view than westerners.
>herpderp look at Kuzuha, see, males are viable

>>4273113
This is why I like Kamiya Juu. He doesn't stream. He makes edited content and knows how to pander to his audience.

>>4273132
This is a good time to discuss how the entire world caters to the shitty tastes of mediocre white men.

>>4273349
you mean fetishizing big titted anime girls as exotic and perpetuating pedophilic standards of attractiveness in women? sure. but that's how you get the big simp bucks like Gura.

>>4273396
And that's why she and, more importantly, the entire infrastructure that supports this deserves all the hate that they get.

>>4272951
no, she's said that it's speech to text to speech in an interview, if she was typing herself you'd see her model typing all the time on her stream & if it was someone else people would know, either from her acknowledging them, them occasionally screwing with her or them just making mistakes that would come out very differently from a computer doing mistakes

>>4273524
the entire thing is fucked up from the industry for pandering all the way to the men who financially support it.

I'm just salty seeing how little work you need to put in once you make it or have corporate backing. Short of literally dropping racial slurs on stream, Hololive girls could just sit there, silently on stream and make $2,000 in 2 hours.

>>4273944
Given the shithole state of the world right now, they'd probably get more money for being racist.

>>4273944
entertainment is 80% hype and marketing and 20% actual effort, congrats on waking up. The Hollywood movies aren't that good either.

I hate the fact that I probably won't get many views because I use a vroid model. I'm sorry my art's shit and I won't drop 1k+ on a 2D model.

>>4274174
I don't think the vroid is the issue anon-chama...

>>4274174
If your computer is capable of running Blender, then you should make your own model. If you have the skills, it will look better than even 75% of Live2D models.

>>4274174
>>4274261
Or you could copy Little_S by having a high-quality PNG set-up.

>>4274174
A lot of us struggled with a shitty vroid before earning enough to pay for the expensive model. Don’t feel bad about it.

This is probably the most quality thread we had in a while, remember to save the page

>>4274174
vroid is fine anon, the problem is that most people who use it don't customise it well and the models look very basic and bland.
there's plenty of tutorials on youtube on how to improve the look of a vroid model as much as you can. there are some pretty nice looking ones out there, dont give up hope!

>>4274174
PNGtubers are not a meme. It takes like 30 bucks to get something that looks good and you can make it reactive easily.

I GOT IN for the last open commission slot of my artist

How do I do lesson/lecture content? Just go for it to an empty chat?

Anybody here who watches art streams? What keeps you interested in watching them the whole way through or for at least most of it? Also, I’ve seen some streamers decide not to use their mic at all and are silent the whole time while music plays when they draw, would you still watch it then?

Reminder everybody
If you're starting to feel like a numberfag, just start streaming, viewer count off of course. It's always the days I don't stream I feel that obnoxious demon creeping in...

I know I need to work on being entertaining but the model is the first thing people see when they click on the stream. I'm just really scared because I put so much time into editing it.

This is the face so far. How bad does it look?

I'm gonna regret posting this here I just know it.

>>4275624
the streamer talks a lot and to chat, does cute little doodles and stuff on the side, id be less inclined to watch a mute artist unless i know them personally or close

>>4275664
it's not terrible, but it's kinda bland. I can't tell anything about your character from it.

>>4275622
Try bringing on guests that are also passionate and knowledgeable about the subject. I always feel more competent about what I am discussing when I have someone to bounce it off of, but then again my field is discourse heavy so that's par for the course.
Also shill yourself so I can watch you

>>4275622
If you’re a literal who it might be a bit difficult to start off with. Why would someone be interested in watching your lecture content?

>>4275784
The only other people who are "passionate" (ha) and "knowledgeable" would be my classmates, but they don't do the vtuber thing, nor do I have any reason to believe they'd be okay being recorded on a live stream.

>>4275804
I really don't know. I've been told I'm pretty good at simplifying complex topics and have actually been a TA for my university helping out underclassmen a lot. And from what I've seen, the only other entities that are teaching the subject matter that I would be discussing are either really old professors that make the material super dry and boring, or paid companies that charge ridiculous amounts.

University is out right now, so there really wouldn't be a direct audience who would benefit from my lectures. But I was thinking I could maybe make an archive of it for next semester's class?

>>4275664
See >>4275769
Also on the aesthetic end, vary your skin and hair tones, blur your eye texture just a bit to smooth it and look for non default clothes on booth.pm you might want to tweak and wear. Build a wardrobe that embodies your character's style(s), variety is a draw.

i like the shape design of it so far (hair and eyes) but aside from the eyes, you barely have any contrast so it looks quite dark.
obviously i realise it can be harder with darker skintones but if you can add more highlights in the hair, or some skin highlights, it will bring out your character a lot. also like the other anon said its kinda bland for now, but if its just a face design its not too bad

If you don’t know then you need to think about it until you do know. Self confidence in your own content is the first step you need to take.

This. If you don't believe in your content, noone else will.

I mean, I'm confident in my teaching abilities, and know that my content (at least regarding my lessons at my university) is solid. Just not really sure how to translate that to a vtuber livestream, you know?

Like I can hold office hours and be sure that at least one or two students will show up. And we can work specifically on where they're having issues. So that's where most of my skill is, though I understand that's because (1) there is an audience that's actively looking to learn from me, and (2) they're kinda forced to be in the room with me.

Not so much with twitch streams since people drop in and out at will, and it's not like any of them will go out of their way to listen in on some random's office hours, you know?

I think you’re missing the point here. You need to be confident in why someone would watch you and stay interested in you rather than your skills as an educator.

Make videos, NOT streams. Streams come after you have an audience.

Dude, one of the best /here/chuubas does history of language and has done a few collaborations about it with other chuubas. If that isn't a small academic niche, I don't know what is. Use twitter search to find vtubers even tangentially interested in your field of study, network from there.
But above all, if you plan to livestream academic content, it must be engaging. Why would I watch a 1-2hr livestream when I could learn more from some spaz youtuber's 10 minute fasting talking study videos in that time.

Well, clickbait them into it! How do you think educational youtubers do this? Veritasium recently put out a video about Goedel's incompleteness theorem titled "There's a hole at the foundation of maths". Everyone and their mother has heard about the theorem by now, but the bait works.
What fascinating thing can a rando from the street learn about your subject area that they wouldn't have yet heard in the pop science books?

I think this might be it. Pre-recorded lectures might be the way to go, thanks for sharing this anon.

>>4276251
I'll have to keep that in mind when I title my videos and make thumbnails. Though part of me wants to keep it straightforward without too much clickbaiting. I'd like it to have some usefulness for students who are taking the classes I'd be teaching, rather than just simply having interesting trivia-focused videos, you know? Like, real cool info about Goedel's incompleteness theorem, sure, but how much of that would you be able to use on course exam?

>>4275638
I will always stream with the viewer count off, it helps relieve the anxiety of worrying about numbers at all. Otherwise I never look at my analytics and the email twitch sends about them goes straight to a stats folder I made.

>>4276338
you think people learn things because of the course exam? people learn things because they are interesting. Posit a curious question in your material, which incidentally answers the course exam topics.

Or title your video "this is how you pass Japanese/English/German 101 in X university", if you want to be that specific.

Thanks for sharing that, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. Recent slugma pills hit me a bit too deep.

>>4276468
I guess I could water it down to appeal to non-unversity students as well...

>>4276520
I always say take specific vtuber advice with a grain of salt. As much as I appreciate advice from say kongou, taking everything he says to heart wouldn't work for someone like me so instead I'll take what works for me and my style and mesh with it. I've actually gotten the best ideas from the wvt threads and I'll be eternally thankful for the harsh feedback I got about my streams from one of the few anons who watches them.

You should network with Mr. Woyde and Xenosum.

Woyde - linguistic
Xenosum - physicist
mysterychuuba - what is this university-level subject you are an expert in?

i wanted to give an example of what i mean, i did these edits very quickly so theyre rough.
full disclosure: i use live2d not vroid so i dont know how easy it is to change textures. but if you can add more depth to your face with highlights/makeup, and emphasise highlights in your hair, the design will stand out more
