/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

>>4281236
Yeah, I've already got a couple of prerecorded videos up. I think I'll keep at it with some more lecture based videos and see how I feel after a month or so.

>>4281277
I was thinking of just using a Powerpoint and making sure all of my effects and such were set up in that. I hope to aim for videos that are sub 10 minutes long, so redo-ing a take won't hurt as much. But yeah, I'm pretty shit at video editing, so I don't want to deal with that.

>>4272609
Alright, I have no idea if any of you are interested in this but I've been trying to figure something out
So I got my it set up so my stt can type in the tts, but I couldn't figure how to have automatically press the hotkey to make it go
so I got VoiceBot which lets you use macros with your voice & have whatever hotkey the tts uses to a keyword, then when you're speaking you end every sentence with the keyword you set to make it go

the problem is you'll need to have the tts textbox focused on all the time, I need a way to make it work in the background
also I don't have a good stt I've been using the default windows one & it's awful

>>4281907
oh yeah if you're going for sub 10 minute stuff you should be absolutely fine and you can just piece together multiple takes anyway
my lectures are like an hour-90 minutes per and i don't know how i would particularly cut it which is why i personally feel like i wouldn't be able to make short for stuff

what should i do if i want to become a hololive member

>>4282312
build up a portfolio and audition at the next opening.

>>4282329
I mean people who know japanese are going to get picked more often arent they?

>>4282348
probs. we can only speculate about the hiring criteria, but it's pretty likely that they'll want some form of bilingual skills.

>>4282348
>ame
>gura

>>4282421
fair, but with the success and attention that HoloEN gen 1 has received, it's pretty safe to say that a LOT more talented (and potentially EN JP bilingual people) auditioned for the role. would make cross generation collabs easier, plus the bonus of understanding japanese idol culture a lot more.

>>4282421
dont they know a little?

>>4282312
1. Be a girl.

>>4282597
thats not hard

Should I be concerned about the kind of model I choose? I'm a dude, so I'm already gunna have a harder time than a woman in Vtubing, so I figure just a generic anime boy avatar probably won't do very well. I was thinking of a simpler, 2d model, kind of like the chibi ones Hololive used on their April Fools stream. I was thinking of making it a pretty cartoony chibi character, but I don't know if that would be a good or bad idea if I want to stand out design-wise.

>>4282675
at this point, no one's figured out the recipe for male vtubers, so it can't hurt. plus it'd probably be cheaper that way.

>>4282644
50% already fail step one

>>4282709
sucks to be them

>>4281800
is there any more auditions?

>>4282691
Yeah, I was thinking specifically of making a very chibi character. Like, almost a plush or toy looking character, maybe of an animal or monster of some kind.

>>4282312
Are you a femanon (female)?
Hows your headgame?
How do you feel about personal favors to older japanese men in exchange for advancement in the vtuber industry?

>>4283559
yes
what?
I dont generally like shit like that

>>4283598
1. Good
2. Extra points for being cute, good femanon.
3. Better start liking it

How do you think Gura and Ame got into Holo EN. They flew to Japan and went to a karakoke bar with Yagoo to "hang out". All that bullshit about talent is just rrats, you wanna get ahead woth Yagoo, you better buy some kneepads.

>>4283700
did they actually go to japan? damn thats kinda crazy and at the same time scary

>>4283739
Ok now i feel bad. Now, they didn't. Im kidding femanon, please don't suck old japanese dicks to get ahead in vtubing. Anyway i guess practice some japanese and learn how to pander to goslings, start building a small portfolio and remember that 3/5 Holo ENs weren't even vtubers before starting.

Although Kiara's roomate seems to have had bad experiences in the idol industry. Vtubing seems to be way less scummy behind the scenes than idol industry.

>>4283830
mmm guess i just have to start learning japanese and draw more often. Hopefully the wave 2 for EN they'll get all the singing talent they want

>>4283830
ina, gura, and ame were vtubers anon...

>>4283873
People here look into indies too much for Gen 2 rrats. I wouldn't be surpruised if we get no previous vtubers in Gen 2.

>>4283921
really? i would assume people would be more interested now that they saw it wasnt a huge flop

>>4283936
my money is on more Mori-types. highly talented, already producing independent content not specifically vtuber related, but still very applicable to Cover's goal of being an idol entertainment company.

>>4283956
wish that were me

>>4283921
i expect competition from people already inside the entertainment industry in the auditions
gen 2 will probably be more experienced/professional talents

So continuing off of my last post here
>>4282675
As far as commissioning a 2D model goes, do I need to seek someone out who specifically designs Vtuber models? I have a few artist friends who I'd like to support by having them design my character for me, but if it involves a lot of special know how I guess I'd need to seek out someone who knows this kind of stuff, right?

>>4284069
idk about that
We know EN2 is looking for very specific anime archetypes for people to act like
Quality acting ability might be a requirement and former vtubers are a massive pool for that

>>4284092
if you're just looking for a reactive png, or AnyoneVtuber, you can just use flat images.

if you're looking for face tracked live2d, it needs to separated out into individual layers in a .psd file so that the hair, arms, eyes, mouth, etc. all move around. then it needs to be rigged by a live2d rigger.

>>4284092
the know how isn't that hard; the big thing is just separating the layers properly
resources like this should be helpful: https://twitter.com/HamuAria/status/1395001595109195783?s=19

>>4284119
>We know EN2 is looking for very specific anime archetypes for people to act like
source?

>>4284175
It was a while ago, but both Kiara and Subaru mentioned both that and that EN2 isn't going to be a themed gen like Holomyth

>>4282691
>no one's figured out the recipe for male vtubers
VOICE! You morons, it is the VOICE! People are listening to you in a background tab. If you don't have a pleasing voice, nobody will bother with you.

>>4283956
>>4284119
>when you have no real talent beyond videogames
Painpeko. At best I was told I'm funny but I don't buy that, and I certainly don't want to be hehe poopoopeeppee funny, maybe once just in a super blood blue moon.

CuddlyMuffinTop got a raid!

>>4284299
you never know. start working on your content portfolio.

>>4284274
Genuinely asking, can you point to names of youtubers/any males who you think have a pleasant voice?

>>4284145
>>4284151
Yeah, I was aiming for a face-tracked 2d model. So I guess I'll see if my friends are willing to try and learn all of that layering stuff. Otherwise I can seek someone else out. Another quick question. If I intend for my character to be non-human in nature (Not furry bait type, but I was thinking of a chibi/cartoony anthropomorphic animal character) would such a design type affect the facial tracking at all? Does facial tracking have issues working with non-traditional humanoid designs?

>>4284429
>would such a design type affect the facial tracking at all? Does facial tracking have issues working with non-traditional humanoid designs?
no. whatever the rigger marks as the "eyes" will accept face tracking data for "eyes" and so on for everything.

>>4284374
Not that anon that asked about getting into Holo, but seeing how relaxed and casual NijiEN I may consider auditioning for a second gen if there is one. The downside is that I wouldn't be able to shittalk Sony.

>>4284386
Most of the popular ones: xKittyMcPancakes, Ais Riale, mama_bell, LolRimmu, and Merryweatherey.

>>4284559
having seen some of the shit that Nijisanji talents do, i think it'd be a lot more fun to be part of Niji than Hololive.

>>4284330
I attempt to practice the forbidden art of 2D Vtuber peeking? Am I strong enough to face such a challenge?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jHxfzvoKuU

>>4284374
what should even be on that? just your sub/follower count? things you're talented at? I've got neither

>>4284593
>xKittyMcPancakes
Wtf this dude sounds like Tobuscus.

>>4285086
followers and sub counts don't make a portfolio. you want to show the creative shit you've done. clips, highlights, an instagram or tiktok of entertaining material. examples of milestone celebrations. collection of your talents and skills (if you're good at singing, do cover, if you're talented at an instrument, have recordings)

>>4284092
if you're going with a simple chibi model, should be fine to ask your friends and explain what goes into separating it. if you want a detailed big model, find a live2d artist.

>>4285477
im doomed

>>4285585
take a lesson from Maid Mint and take the indie pill. stream for 8 months and then get scooped up into Nijisanji with your experience.

>>4285944
All I can do is try I guess

if anyone knows who owns the discord could you ask them to contact me at pipyo#0707 ?? // i dont mind people adding me to be friends either =D im kinda desperate to talk to people with similar goals hwahahaha

Where do you all go to find background music or free use music in general?

>>4285988
Dova Syndrome on Youtube, but avoid the ones made by TRACKSTAR

Honestly I think a EASY attractor is having voice acting class under your belt, because even a male who has good voice can be a attraction. If you're a male Vtuber you already have something working against you, as you can't just use your testicles or bounce them around as a talking point or attention re-attractant, and you can't just act flustered at comments about wanting to fuck you unless you're a trap.

>>4286469

I'm considering using VTuber Studio for running my 2d model since its free. Are there any downsides I should know about the program?

>>4286630
If you don't have a newish iphone the tracking is just ok. Webcam tracking tends to stop for me when I move out of frame too much. The free version also has a watermark, but it can easily be cropped. Otherwise there's no real downsides

>>4286697
Yeah, I'd be using the webcam built into my computer. Hopefully that gets the job done. I can at least try it out and try a different program if it doesn't work for me, I suppose.

>>4286469
>you can't just act flustered at comments about wanting to fuck you
AutomotiveExplosive...

The design I'm planning on using has a bit of a large snout (its an animal-based design). If it has a large snout like an alligator or something with a beak for example, would that affect the mouth movement at all? I'd rather know now so I can change the design before comitting to it

>>4287776
no..? did you read >>4284469

>>4287776
Not really, problem is how is it going to be drawn so that it's not in the way of the rest of your face like a real alligator? Are you going to make it stylistic? Not that it sounds like you're making an actual alligator, but just something to consider.

>>4287776
that's gonna be whack af for your rigger to try and make it work. make sure they're comfortable rigging non-humanoid characters first. live2d rigging is done through deformation, so it's basically squishing, stretching, and morphing the art to imitate movement.

while it shouldn't have an issue with face tracking, the problem would be more with the rigger being unfamiliar with non-human shapes. so they may end up charging you a lot more for it.

>>4287866
>>4287886

The character is a dinosaur, so the snout is going to be a bit long. I've thought of trying to make it kind of stubby to avoid the hassle mentioned, but I don't know if that's enough since the model will still be facing forward like most Vtuber models. If its too much work, maybe I should think of a different concept

>>4288063
i posted later alligator because it's a good example of a style where the characters have long snouts, you just need to be creative or find an artist willing to figure out the best way to do it

>>4287275

Why is singing so difficult, anons?

Literally easy.Shyness, interact directly, act dumbfounded to compliments.It’s all there and been done irl , just pass it over to an Vtuber avatar.

>>4295425
The colors are all over the place.

>>4295485
do you think less colors or more complimentary colors would be better?

>>4295425
I like the idea but the colors are a bit unfocused yeah.
https://twitter.com/ramdayo1122 look at ollie's artist for some ideas

>>4295959
Thanks anon, that helps a lot.
I guess I should also say that the colors are like they are because I wanna VRDJ some untz and bleeps.

>>4296081
Do you have any images you like as reference then? I love me some dastardly vibrant stuff too but you still have to take certain coloring rules into consideration, LAM is excellent in that regard and is why I linked her since she manages to follow the rules while bringing out her unique flair and energy.

>>4296199
No, I mostly did everything by eye with a reference (or more maybe inspiration) for the hair being Sae from Hidamari Sketch.
I was also thinking of simplifying the heart like this based on an older draft to tone down the color clutter.

Well I went and fucking did it, I'm a literal 2view now, one of them was kind enough to chat and follow. I was streaming a niche sub-field of a niche so I can't expect a lot. The follower will probably show up if I stream at the same time tomorrow, at which point I will lose them because I can't carry a conversation or engage people like a normal human being.

Hey /asp/.

Sometimes people come into my chat to tell me they’re just there until [someone else] starts streaming, or that they’ve changed interests to someone else within the agency. How do I get back my viewers that oshihen’d?

Should I focus on getting a new audience or…?

>>4296949
Ignore, maybe ban.
They should follow the law of "Don't start none, won't be none".

>>4296991
I’ll try. It’s just disorienting and banning makes me worried people will see me as a control freak.

>>4296949
Don't acknowledge those types of comments

>>4296949
Don't be a retard. Stop subscribing to the oshi philosophy. Treat viewers like viewers.

>>4297096
Yeah I try. It’s just hard to ignore when you see the hard numbers consistently going down as people start to prefer watching others.
>>4297145
I’m going down the idol route, so it’s part of that.

>>4296949
That just sounds like they're messing with you, (especially likely if they know you care about oshihen) so if you can play it off with banter it might look like they were joking to everyone else even on the off-chance they were serious. But as other anons have said, ignoring is for the best if you can't be witty there.
Also don't get too caught up if it's just someone else in your agency, the nice thing about agencies is that given the relationships between members, someone who oshi's one will probably watch the rest sometimes too, so you haven't necessarily lost them.

>>4282691
I don't think male vtubers could ever compete because girls who'd watch them are all into K-Pop idols. The few popular ones kinda lean into that direction. That is, if big numbers are the goal, I watch a decent number of comfy male or babi vtubers for unique content.

>>4297973
That makes sense. Thank you. I appreciate that a lot, anon.

I’m honestly in a pretty awful mindset right now and streaming’s gotten rough.

>>4284274
also important is to not be super whiney
so many male streamers with sub 10 views I pop in and they're just whining about everything and it's no fun to listen

>>4282691
The recipe is having vocal charisma, some sort of accent that is popular and pandering to the fujoshi audience.

>>4298296
Just take it easy and don't overthink things anon. As long as you enjoy your streams your viewers will too, anything else beyond that might be a nice to have but won't be worth wearing yourself out over.

Would you watch a stream if it has most of the other elements correct, but a scuffed audio setup? I technically have a setup, but I don't want to shell out cash for a new mic just yet until I've done a few streams and have a couple of viewers (maybe they can stick around for a potential "mic upgrade stream"), if possible I want to do some reps now to improve on the other streaming aspects that I can't just buy my way through.

>>4300548
Audio is unfortunately the most important aspect.

>>4300548
just do it
the biggest mistake people make is thinking they need to wait for the perfect setup to do a super debut
it doesn't work like that, your first 10 or so streams will be with less than 5 viewers. Don't save game, don't put it off for setup upgrades, just stream because people are going to pop in and out constantly and it's not going to be until you stream consistently for weeks if not months you build up a consistent couple people who come back over and over

>>4300619
Thanks for the words of motivation anon, despite what >>4300563 said, here's hoping I'm able to carry the stream enough that people will want to watch me even despite the shitty audio, because if I can have a nice stream like that, I can only imagine what it'll be like when I get a better mic

>>4300666
That's fine, do your best and keep at it.
The most important thing isn't really audio, it's you. But having passable audio already puts you way ahead of most people, just by virtue of that, helping with viewer retention and in that process building a self-sustaining audience.

>>4300548
Scuff can be charming as long as your personality can carry the stream.

>>4300666
the only thing that will 100% turn some people off is if you have a really loud keyboard.
which can be fixed by putting something underneath it and properly using filters on your mic in OBS, noise reduction, noise gate, etc and putting the mic closer to your face

doing an experiment
if you want to chat around with me, everyone welcome

https://www.twitch.tv/yakkokatto

sometimes i hate that 4chan is really the only place vtuber discussion takes place. everywhere else is such a shitshow.

>>4301937
well vtubers are pretty much a japanese culture thing still

>>4301955
yeh, but you'd expect with so many western indies, that there would be some place that indie growth discussion would take place.

twitter is all just underaged minors shilling their models made with their parents money and being fucking psychotic menheras
reddit is nothing but "going live!" spam posts from 2view no names

When doing collabs, would it be best to ignore chat for the most part? I watched a collab with two chuubas, and at a certain point, one of them started interacting with their chat and ignoring the other chuuba basically.

>>4301980
I find it that it is quite hard to both reach a following and get discovered in general, I largely tend to speak to void air

>>4301984
ignore chat unless it's a tech issue (collab partner's volume is too quite, muted, etc.) or something you can drop as a piece of tidbit infor ("hey, chat said you're like X, haha")
>>4301995
yeah, that's the million dollar question isn't it?

>>4301995
that's what being a streamer is when you start out
making up chat comments to respond to for 6 months till you get enough views to have any kind of back and forth

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYCDb6H4R5g

i think i'm getting used to just talking to the void. but the games i really enjoy playing are oversaturated debuff games...

Is it better to just start out as a voice instead of commissioning a model right away? Thought about doing this as a hobby and have all the gear, just no artistic ability or connections to artists

>>4304551
For me, I commissioned a PNG and started with that. I think it's important to have a face if you want to be remembered, but if you're only interested in getting experience, then you dont need a model.

Is affiliate within a month good?¿

>>4304775
In regards to like wider Twitch-sphere stuff. I am really happy to have reached it but I don't want it to look lame.

>>4304775
affiliate isnt even a challenge anyone can get it

>>4304775
Yes it is. It took me about 3 weeks to reach it with my near crippled networking skills.

>>4304580
I'd do that but like I said I have literally no connections and no social media so I'd just be doing this to work up experience with software and streaming

>>4304860
It took me around four and I don't think I'd enable it right away but it's a sign of progress, right? We're moving somewhere

>>4304817
You are right, anon.

>>4305015
Absolutely, any tangible goal past to work towards is always a good thing when you hit it. Don't let negative people take that from you but also don't rest on it. Set your next goal and incline and invest in (you)coin

are there any big content creators with an avatar character with a tv for a head?

ah, okay, let me get a time machine go back 8 years and start TeamFourStar and build up a fanbase

>>4308148
it's just how things are, if you're an artist, have an accent, speak japanese, are a woman, etc you immediately get that first little boost that puts you above everyone else but it's not impossible to overcome

>>4308296
I have the italian accent and so far no dice, probably because I started a few days ago, still 10 followers is not too bad I guess, even my twitter is starting to get better with people beginning to retweet my stuff however the followers do not grow hmm

I really am a dumb boomer with all of this stuff

>>4308373
10 followers in a few days is not that bad comparatively on a new acct, I was a "pro gamer" years back and my acct still has sub 100 followers lmao

what's a good video editing program? i'm trying to use twitch clips but i can't get the vod to ever load properly.

>>4309155
thanks anon
>>4309191
too lazy to pirate, just looking for something super simple that i can clip out sections of my recordings


i forgot that i was streaming at 900p due to my upload, but my local recording is in 1080p, so it was better to get video editing software to clip my local file instead of using the twitch clip. gonna see how davinci resolve works out.

I feel like I'm going to have an aneurysm. I bought a new computer to stream, and it has bad DPC latency, so the audio crackles (input and output) every now and then. I paid quite a bit of money thanks to the shitty market right now. I tried to fix it myself with all the methods posted online, only to now be past the return date and with barely any improvement. I either have to pull what I can out of this machine and build one myself, or place my hope in Lenovo's tech support. Neither is very inspiring.

>>4309491
>it has bad DPC latency
first time i've heard a vtuber talk about this. what is it and does it interfere with your streaming?

>>4309557
I'm a retard, so I may be completely wrong, since most of this knowledge was gained in the past month from browsing forums perpetuated by autists and ESLs. But: bad DPC latency is when a CPU core has too many things going through it, and something eventually has to lag. If the audio lags, then both input and output will drop very noticeably (audio drops and it crackles for about half a second to a second). I haven't streamed with this computer yet, but since the audio affects output as well as input, I'm assuming it would be noticeable for viewers as well. Even if it isn't, it's really annoying to me, and shouldn't be happening (this is usually a problem that happens on shitty laptops, and this is a desktop with an i7 and a 2070S in it).

>>4309927
well, i think you should at least try streaming and see if it shows up. because it really sounds like you're using a tiny tech issue as an excuse not to stream.

>>4309927
if that's the case you can try a couple things
>move to NVENC encoding if you already aren't
>increase the priority of OBS in your task manager so it gets higher priority on CPU
>downscale your output or reduce the quality of your capture

>>4309927
the alternative is if you never updated your software it could just have out of date drivers, check with your seller to see if there was a disc with drivers on it or if they have updated drivers on their site

>>4309989
I was just going to pass it off as interference if someone brings it up (my character streams from another world, so I guess it checks out). Really I'm just venting, and maybe hoping deep down some anon has the magic answer. My real excuse for not streaming is not being able to think of a name; a tiny tech issue would probably be a better excuse than that.

>>4310001
Thank you! I'll try these. I've tried downscaling and bumping up the process for the game itself with some improvement (basically making the time longer between audio hics). I'll be sure to do the same for OBS as well. I've also tried disabling power saving settings, uninstalling/reinstalling drivers, messing around in the UEFI, the whole bit. I'm going to reinstall Windows next week, which is my last resort before calling it quits and taking it apart.

>>4308198
You could always start a virtual Youtuber anime-dubbing parody group. Make skits that recreate moments in popular anime.

>>4310598
That’s... not gonna work in 2021.

>>4310598
that's a lot of work for very little return

>>4310598
The takeaway is not to do that, the takeaway is that if you do the work once to built an audience they will follow you across projects and platforms

>>4308148
Not all females. It's not like you can just be a girl and get instant followership. Do you have any idea how many 1 view females exist now? It's a saturated market. Guys always think girls can just show off their tits on OnlyFans and suddenly become millionaires, but you're only seeing the cream of the financial crop and not the thousands that barely make beer money, if even that

If you’re not seeing success (upwards momentum) with a content strategy within a month or so you need to pivot to something else.

>>4311426
I should add to this. Even the whores need to do something to stand out. Maybe when there was only a small handful of people starting out in general things were different. But you can't simply just 'be a female's and garner an audience. There are thousands of girls filling just about every niche now. You either had to be first or have something standout, and then there's still the factor of luck in play. BatatVideogames less streaming to single digit audience for YEARS before finding her current success. Dont blame your lack of success on being a male. Dont think you would be rolling at the top right now if only you were a female. You still need to be able to stand out, and if you dont realize that then you're NGMI

>>4311694
so what happened that causes her to diverge from the path of the thousands of others who stream to zero viewers for a year and are still stuck streaming to zero viewers?

>>4311694
>Dont blame your lack of success on being a male

that's not what I said, I said females have it easier than males which is an objective truth, no need to go berserk simp mode

>>4311876
I'm not a simp, I'm a girl (vagina no tranny) who works with fellow girls (not trannies) and its infuriating for people to think a pussy pass is a universal card for success

>>4311770
She changed up her material? Started out reaching better. Did new shit to find out what would finally work. And most importantly, she stuck with it even though it sucked

>>4311965
yes, you can still lose even on easy mode. but don't deny that's what difficulty you're on.

Who would be good to commission logos from? I saw one really designer on Twitter but I forgot to follow them and now I can’t seem to find them again (It’s not @kona_x_taros, but they’re similar. I think the artist was better than Kona, at least IMO.)

>>4312111
Hurrr easy mode. Most of the top earners on Twitch are men. There are bikini steamers but there are still plenty of men with facecams on twitch who earn way more than the average streamer. If you want easy mode, use a face cam idiot. You'll get way more viewers that way then you would as a make chuuba

>>4311426
>>4311694
there may be a lot of 1 view female tubers but there's still a lot of salt from guys over how some orgs treat male talent like they're 2nd class citizens and the demand for female talent is miles above demand for male talent
doesn't also help that a lot of org, Nijisanji excluded, basically segregate them like male talent is a lower caste

>>4312267
Not him but it's important to consider the overall target audience. Vtubers are a sort of separate sub-set of streamers/content creators, and for the most part a lot of people attracted to it are initially looking for "cute anime girl doing X" in their streams. Whereas for IRL streamers males are kinda the 'default' and females get harassed a bunch, in vtubing males kinda just get ignored. I don't think the issue is as bad as some here make it, and I believe that over time it'll even out for the most part.

In the end however, all that matters is how entertaining you are, but getting eyeballs to the stream in the first place is a bit easier with a cute design (and most male vtubers use horribly boring bishie designs which doesn't help).

>>4312399
it will 100% even out, probably once Nijisanji or another org puts in the time and effort to cultivate a male western vtuber group with real push behind it
but until then it's this kind of weird spot where for guys you're fighting to basically be the 50 viewer guy who streams 4 hours a day after your day job and makes less than beer money

>>4312344
You can blame fellow men for this then. Males are the biggest audience for chubbas. But as the post here says >>4312399 guys seem to horrendous at choosing appealing designs in the first place. Boring designs, boring content, bad networking/no outside content to being viewers into their streams. FFS little_s has just a snake png and does far better than a lot of other chuubas. Here's a hint anons, you're probably not nearly as funny or interesting as you think you are. This isn't to demoralize anyone, but to sweep away the idea that being a girl equals instant success/girls dont need to work exceedingly hard and that even as a guy you can succeed too. Or keep bitching about 'waaaah easy mode'. Just be a babi with a cute design :^)

>>4312202
Depending on your price you can check out a friend of mine. https://twitter.com/erosvalentyne_?s=21

Her work is good, commissions open and she did zentreyas logo.

>>4312504
no one said that being a girl means instant success, are you illiterate anon?
it's just people collectively bemoaning the fact that getting started and the initial reach as a guy is really difficult, especially because female tubers literally do not want to work with you or network with you.
But chances are you saw the first post and are a female streamer pulling low to mid views and just wanted to spout off and demoralize people here more than they already are so good job on that

>>4312504
>boo hoo being a woman is so hard in an industry dominated by females

ok fag

>>4312760
>This isn't to demoralize anyone, but to sweep away the idea that being a girl equals instant success/girls dont need to work exceedingly hard and that even as a guy you can succeed too. Or keep bitching about 'waaaah easy mode'. Just be a babi with a cute design :^)

Was literally in the post you replied to. How about instead of being here complaining about how girls have it soooooo much easier, you actually do stuff that make people want to watch you? Here, I'll give you a free example for the Italian guy since I've seen him posted here before

>doesn't network
>doesn't hashtag his posts
>uses a voice changer instead of his natural voice
>no overlay, model is just placed overtop the game
>doesn't even follow or talk to other chuubas on twitter or anything like that

But no, he's having trouble because not a girl huh

>>4312603
Looks like a good designer, but not exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks for the suggestion though! Hope another chuuba from here can commission her.

yeah, because horny guys who simp over 2d anime lolis will definitely want to tune into some vroid guy in a hoodie who is silent for 90% of his streams. you guys are both competing for the same audience. absolutely.

>>4312907
how often do you or the people you work with collab or work with male vtubers?
be honest because I think you're going to try to lie here
that's the core of the problem is over half the industry does not want to interact with you or network that it basically kills your mobility and your growth

I'm not very confident with my voice, since it's not as deep as I want it to be.
I thought of try using this as my strong point and going for a shota/androgynous character (like Chongyun from Genshin or Andersen from Fate/Extra).
Would it work? My only concern is that people would call me a tranny

Do we have to have this same conversation every day

>>4313410
I don't know but she stopped replying because her "friend" started streaming

>>4313408
it's only people in /wvt/ who casually throw out transphobic slurs. you're not gonna see that on twitch (or they'll just get banned from chat) or on twitter.

>>4313408
you can definitely do that, not everyone can or should do the deep booming baritone voice
not everyone likes it either

>>4313408
I doubt you have tranny voice man, a good number of guys have higher voices but they still sound like a dude. Trannys typically have a certain voice quality that gives them away that normal people don't have. If you really want to test it just post a voice clip or something.

>>4313408
You’ll be fine truly. Do what makes you happiest.

>4313522
>certain voice quality that gives them away
this is objectively wrong and you need leave 4chan and go talk to real humans if you actually believe this.

>>4313408
Well, ARE you a tranny?

>>4312958
It’s true. Just mentioning the idea of collabing with male chuubas has made some of my viewers upset lol

>>4313565
t.tranny

>>4313565
You can clock trannies what the fuck are you talking about

look at all these new ips

>>4313742
that's literally what I was saying but idk why she got her panties all twisted about "easy mode" from someone else
a lot of girls play into the idol stuff and are terrified their entire fanbase will dry up the minute they so much as RT a guy, so you can try to network and tag things and be a part of communities all you want but a huge chunk will just pretend you don't exist because of that
from the guy's end it really feels demoralizing because you can see potential possibilities just dry up for no reason other than you're a guy

There was something similar in regular twitch streams where women were complaining that guys would not host them or collab or raid them and do you know what happened?
the guys listened and now female twitch streamers get raided much more often and get a lot more collaboration from male counterparts. wish we could just see some of that in the tuber section but god forbid anyone bring it up.

>>4312958
half my collabs are with male vtubers. honestly 90% of female indies don't care what gender you are as long as you can fit into their stream atmosphere.

its the companies that have issues with cross gender collabs.

>>4313956
Part of the problem is the "pure girlfriend" thing is kinda engrained in the culture, and thus a lot of fans get their panties in a twist when "their" girl interacts with a guy in anyway. The pure idol culture is goddamn cancer, and its fans (and anyone else relying that much on a streamer as an emotional crutch) often are the first to flip out and trash their "oshii" as soon as something happens. Luckily people are starting to move past that, with western vtubers not caring so much about who they collab with, and even Hololive doing some collabs with Holostars (even though cover still kinda ignores the stars).

>>4312958
I network with boys constantly? I haven't collabed with one yet because epoetin has me streaming at dead hours at the moment, but I'm constantly networking, talking to and watching my fellow male chuubas. I also draw fanart of them too and sit in their streams. Sorry if you can't believe that but we have had recent examples of female/Male collabs too.

Koopa with Spacer and Konguo on separate occasions
Bodega Rat and Power Nelson
Krimbo has a couple girls
Cadence and Golden Kenji today

>>4314182
Oh and how could I forget Leon and Alice? Their gimmick is they're a couple streamer. Even Elliot Amber has been streaming with his wife lately.

hey /asp/, you can get Little Nightmares (horror puzzle game) for free on steam if you install it this weekend. i've seen TMSK from VOMS playing it and seems pretty good.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/424840/Little_Nightmares/

>>4314347
ah, remember, if you want to opsec, redeem this on your main and Family Share it to your vtuber's steam account.

>>4314347
Speaking of free games, looks like Company of Heroes 2 is also free as well. Though I'm not sure how strategy games like that translates to viewership. I was under the impression that RTS games are kind of a debuff both as a genre of games (rip Starcraft) and for viewers (since it's often a very complicated game with lots of little moving parts that viewers may not fully understand).

>>4315051
Eh, I imagine it'd have its own audience. And one that doesn't have many options for watching streams of those games because no one streams it. Its best to stream stuff you enjoy and know a bunch about, regardless of how 'popular' it is. Just playing something because its popular just lumps you in with a ton of other people doing the same thing.

>iron vortex is open for rigging commissions
should i go for it or would it be a waste of money? im thinking that it would help get me out there and the rigging will be godly, but that price hurts my soul

>>4315552
>but that price hurts my soul
then don't, anon.
go scuffed and get a cheaper live2d rig instead, grow your brand, once you're big Iron Vertex will be reaching out to you. plus, you can spin it as more content where you can compare your 1.0 and 2.0 models

>>4315552
No one else can answer that because the price is the main factor, but if it hurts your soul that doesn't sound like a good thing. If I had my artwork done I'd jump on it myself because I have the money to afford it without being a problem. But I literally just got my artist commission slot so it won't be done until mid to late June. I'll probably look into other high quality riggers at that time.

>>4315090
the games i enjoy are kinda debuffs like Apex

>>4315637
the thing is, i already have a really good artist for my model, so i think scuffed and cheap rigging would be an insult to my artist. ;__; but i might just go for that. thanks for the input!
>>4315675
ah, i’m sorry that you couldn’t make it in time, but since this will be their last opening for the year (iirc), i don’t think they would mind waiting for your model to finish. probably would work on other customer’s rigging during that time.
but anyways, thanks for the input as well!

>>4315675
I'll correct myself, just looked at their commission document:

>If client does not have an illustration...
Well shit, as the artist I'm using has done work with IV before, maybe I should just throw a submission in there. Fuck, this changes everything.

how do i change my mindset from getting salty and jealous of other's successes and towards being happy for them?

>>4319404
think of how bad it would look if those feelings got out publicly

>>4319404
Realize that others' successes and failures have no impact on your own unless you tie yourself directly to them.

>>4319404
if you're very nice to people they might share their success with you

>>4313956
I would be open to collabing with males but I have zero clout so I think its me they don't wanna collab with

https://twitter.com/LadyRosalieVT/status/1398468506908250117?s=20
if you guys want a floof hair model, this one apparently might go on sale soon

Is a debut stream considered the norm? I'm starting out as a pngtuber and I'm wondering why everyone starts off with a debut stream. Is it just a general introduction?

I'm iffy about it because I might end up just making a powerpoint presentation about myself or just typing shit out on MS paint.

>>4322095
debut streams are shit memes dont' fall for it

>>4322095
Debut streams really only make sense in an organization like Hololive where there's already a pre-existing fanbase to introduce the character to.

>>4322136
>>4322259
oh thank fuck I was worried I'd have to spend 20 minutes talking about myself

>>4322627
If you're using youtube for any reason though like uploading stream vods, it can be good to make an introduction video after you gain a bit of traction, something easy for new people to digest that summarizes your content.

I'm not in a good enough situation economically to get a big fancy l2d model so I was thinking of being a png tuber and covering my ass with creativity, but I'm only passable with tech so I don't know if this idea will work. Is it possible to make an animation/series of images that's tied to audio levels somehow? Like having certain images come up depending on how high the audio spikes at any given time?

>>4322877
don't both, just use pngs and hotkeys instead.

How do I groom an indie?

if I have a bunch of money can I groom an indie vtuber gf?

>>4323790
Will you be my sugar daddy viewer?

>>4323919
definitely a strong maybe

>>4323919
only if you're a cute female (female)

>>4323757
go through the vtuber hashtag on twitter

>>4323951
i WILL find you and i WILL hug you... if you sub to me :3c

>>4308373
Are you the fucking cat
Get a fucking grip and work on your game

>>4323757
>>4323790
I've never really understood the grooming thing, myself. In either direction.

>>4324536
Lonely sugar daddies that will fund their own chuuba

So how do I go about networking with some /here/ chuubas? Should I rather wait a bit and just shill myself here initially until I get a couple of streams/viewers under my belt before trying to network?

>>4312202
Pic related's comms are closed unless you're a close friend if that's who you're thinking of.

>>4324881
shill in /wvt/ and talk with some of the viewers when they appear. they'll start engaging with you and you'll start appearing on their Recommended sections in twitch. after that, go spend some time in the /here/chuuba chats just casually hitting them up about whatever they're streaming (for like 2 weeks to a month). after that, let 'em know you're a new vtuber and would like some pointers/advice and so on.

>>4324881
unironically chat around in some /here/ streams to get to know people in the community and stream when you're able to

>>4324919
they're similar to kona, so idk why they want this artist and not kona when kona is almost always open (started doing animated logos too recently)

>>4325058
Kona has a weird maximalist design motifs and you have the lack of revisions because skeb.

>>4325236
they do accept comms through twitter DMs for those that dont want to go through skeb

>>4324036
>>4323951
Alright anons I will hold you to it. I have things I wish to buy

So I'm just now starting the process of planning to become a Vtuber, with the hopes that I'll have everything ready to debut in August. I've always wanted to make content online before, and love entertaining, so I'm a bit nervous. While I'm not expecting, nor do I particularly desire, to become super famous or anything, I would like to maybe gain a decent following. I've heard that the debut stream is the most important stream for a new Vtuber. Is this true at all? If I mess up my debut stream or get no eyes on it, am I just doomed to never getting anywhere?

>>4326347
Debut is not as important to an indie. I would say networking and consistent content is more important.

>>4326347
a lot of those that have the idea that a debut is important probably debuted to 1 viewer. Smaller streamers don't need one

>>4326347
please stop falling for the fucking debut meme. it only works if you're corporate or artemis/moneybird levels of wealthy. unless you have $3k of disposable income ready to go just for debuts, stop.

debuts are fucking memes. just start streaming, put together a highlights or channel trailer video like Mori.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzLoNtvNIE4

>>4324919
I found them! It is a Japanese designer whose works end up looking like anime/company logos, which is the style I wanted. Thank you for the help though.

>>4326767
hiiragiryo for those that were wondering (like me)

am i gonna make it? will it be okay, bros? i'm scared...

>>4327246
I'll be your 1 viewer

>>4326693
That's a good idea. Thanks anon

Hi anons, so I've been interested in VTubers for a long time now and after contemplating it, it's something I'm interested in trying out. It doesn't have to become a sort of career or source of money (although of course that would be nice, but I'm not banking on it) but I'd like to at least be entertaining and have a stream that people will consistantly come back to.
I was advised to drop by this thread for some questions I have, so sorry if these are already things that get thoroughly discussed.

1. Do I have to network with other chuubas? I feel like a nuisance butting into other peoples' streams or twitter threads without bringing much to the table. I feel like I'm being rude and blatantly advertising.
2. Do I need to have a cutesy/high pitched voice or put on an act? I'm a femanon but have a semi-deep voice compared to most other chicks I know, plus a heavy Australian accent, and I'm extremely mellow and get exhausted when acting easily so I don't want to have to use gimmicks (like voice quirks and stuff).
3. Do I need to sexualise myself in order for people to be interested/stick around? My model is already showing a fair bit of skin but I mean in the way of mannerisms and shit. I'm not against it, but I don't want to have to stoop to the level of those whiteboard or hot tub streamers.
4. How do I not focus on the viewcount? I'm really bad at ignoring that kind of stuff and I feel like I'd get dejected easily if nobody was talking to me.
5. Does having a cute/comfy aesthetic and quality screens and assets draw in more people? I've already commissioned alert art, BRB art, my model, and am making the overlays by myself.

Thanks in advance!

>>4327246
If you're truly passionate, then don't give up hope! Even if you can't make it a full-time job, if it's something you enjoy doing, you should keep at it while doing other things too. Pay your bills, take care of yourself, and chase your dreams on the side until they can pay your bills too anon.

>>4327603
1- yes
2- no
3- no
4- turn it off
5- no

>>4327603
1. No, but it makes the experience easier and friendlier. Networking will grant you retweets and raids, expanding your audience.
2. No, plenty of femtubers out there without mickey mouse voices.
3. Nope. Plenty of non-sexualized femtubers out there. Very successful ones, too.
4. This can be hard, but try to focus on the content and having fun regardless of viewers. Confidence is attractive to viewers.
5. Yes.

>>4327603
I can give you some advice on at least a few of those, despite not debuting yet myself.

As far as your voice goes, I wouldn't say you need a high-pitched voice at all. A woman with a deeper voice can be charming in her own right. Ladies like Towa or Mori from Hololive have pretty non-traditional voices for anime girls, but a lot of people dig it. Plus, I know of several people who are actively turned off by some Vtubers because of the anime-ish voices or high pitched tone being off-putting and preferring a more realistic-sounding voice. It can definitely work. As far as sexualizing yourself, first off don't ever feel compelled to do something you aren't comfortable with, second, while I'm sure you'll inveitably get some simps or coomers in your audience, there are plenty of ladies who don't really lean all that much into sexuality and still do fine. You can, of course, flaunt your femininity, but being outright sexual isn't necessarily needed I don't think.

>>4327603
1. Networking isn't absolutely necessary except for trying to get twitch raids from others as they will recognize you. You don't need to be super close, just let your presence be known. Getting viewers relies more on advertising and being able to show your strong points on demand to new viewers.
2. ayy aussiebro- er, sis. Gimmicks are unnecessary as long as you carry yourself well, just remember to engage with your audience instead of thinking only to yourself and you will find your audience.
3. Not necessary, sounds like you don't want to attract that crowd anyway. Charisma is what gets people to stick around first, sexual personality and appearance is just a very cheap way of getting people to watch, see VRChat people for examples.
4. Turning it off helps, but if you want to keep talking to people then make sure you can retain the people coming in by again, engaging with them.
5. Just something that's generally appealing and inoffensive will make people more likely to watch you. I personally don't watch Krimbo or whats his name because despite the quality there's very little actual general appeal, but he's comfortable with that act so whatever.

>>4327779
>despite not debuting yet

>>4327811
tbf none of the advice was given for stuff like views, marketing, or collaboration. It was only things like voice and performance, which I do believe I have reasonable advice to give on. Besides, pretty much everyone else said the same as I did.

i asked a bunch of my friends, well, most of them, if they'd like to hang out on a discord call tonight. almost all of them said yes. none of them showed up. just thinking about where my life is at right now, i guess. i hope every anon here has a good weekend. i'm gonna drink myself to sleep and hope there's a new thread by the time wake up tomorrow so i don't see this.

good luck anons, i believe we're all gonna make it.

>>4328303
Dang, that's rough Anon. Have a good sleep.

Does my bro have what it takes to be a vtuber? What would his avatar look like?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beiIFG2kPNM

>>4328803
If the first 30 seconds was what you considered to be a highlight then I have no interest in continuing at all.

>>4328303
real life friends or "discord" friends cause theres a big difference

>>4328803
Voice is interesting but I nearly fell asleep.

>>4314393
...Or get it on the VTuber account because it's free

>>4328303
ill hang out with you anon give me your discord

>>4327603
Can't speak to the rest since I'm not successful, but I've done a lot of practice "streams" where I don't even go live and that's helped me a lot with the "what if nobody talks to me" anxiety, since I'm already an expert at talking into a void. And, as others have said, you can turn the number off if it's only gonna cause you grief.

I'm worried that my content would be similar to the chuubas in the dumpster diving thread the other day due to its low technical quality.

>>4330418
What makes you feel that way Anon? The fact you’re here means you’re most likely a step above!

>>4330467
I'd like to think so, but I tested the setup I had yesterday and it wasn't too bad but the audio quality is kind of borked due to my toaster mic and laptop that I'm unable to change at the moment. The plan is to make consistent stuff in order to grow relevancy and hopefully audience before I get better gear. But I don't know if doing it so soon is a bad decision.

>>4330752
I streamed with just a headset mic for awhile! while audio quality is important it’s not a be all end all! There’s nothing wrong with waiting and making upgrades as you can afford them. It might be slower growth but it’s safer.

>>4330752
Here's a tip anon: start with whatever gear you have and stream as soon as possible.

>>4330752
I'm nervous about this too. I want to stream ASAP as soon as I finish building my new PC but the current mic I have is really, really shitty. Like costed $5 shitty. I hear people say that audio quality is one of the most important things for a streamer which I agree with, since you listen to them for hours, but I'm really not ready to spend $100 on a mic for something that I'm not even sure I'll stick with.

>>4331062
You’ll be fine. You just need to start. You’ll probably start to 0 viewers and you can take that time to get comfortable streaming! Just relax and have fun!

>>4330913
>>4330944
Thanks for the encouragement Anons. I just want the material I put out to be enjoyable like other chuubas and live up to my own expectations.

No one is good at first. Think of your expectations as aspirations. You’ll get there if you keep working to be a better content creator! Just start and keep trying your best and I know you’ll do great!

>>4331249
I guess that's more reassuring, thanks again Anon. I'll do my best to make you proud!

Thanks guys! This makes me feel a lot more confident. I'm still a bit paranoid that I will be nervous when I first start streaming. I think I'm going to practice playing video games and talking to myself.

I want to do variety stuff, like video games and art. Only problem is I'm really shitty at drawing anime, which is what I see everyone else do. I'm also mostly interested in really niche games and I don't have a capture card right now so that's kind of a pain in the ass, I guess I'll have to force myself to play shooty games or something.

Also I still live with my family and I'm worried that they'll pick up on my mic or something. Would decent noise reduction on a mic work for that? All the rooms of my house are really close together and the walls are pretty thin. Or will I just have to schedule it around them shutting up

>>4331402
Do you have a friend you can stream to? If not you can always link your practice streams here and people can come become a supportive chat! The only way to learn is by doing

>>4331402
As far as sound goes, you'll probably just have to ask your family to quiet down when you stream. While it doesn't do much to isolate outside noises, you can increase the quality of your audio simply by creating a recording booth of some sort. I myself have a booth made from pvc pipes and covered in sound-dampening blankets I purchased. That does cost a few hundred though, so if you can't afford that, you can situate your mic underneath some pillows and thick blankets in an enclosed space. This helps to reduce echo and other unwanted sounds.

I had a compilation somewhere of twitters of actually polished logos, and not this messy stuff. Yes to my taste, the supermajority of these logos in the pics are a mess.

>>4327603
Networking is not advertising.

I'm currently trying to learn how to properly use Streamlabs OBS. Is there a way to set things up so I can see my Streamlabs setup/chat on a tablet while my computer screen is otherwise occupied by the game window? I only have one computer monitor, so I was hoping I could have all the Streamlabs stuff on the tablet while I use the computer monitor solely for the game window.

>>4332923
The easiest way is not with obs but with the twitch app itself. When you download the app it will have an option called “stream manager” and that will have your chat on it

>>4332464
do post

>>4333082
honestly my taste in logos is fairly normie at times but draws from some musicians occassionally.

>>4331485
I'm on 4chan, of course I don't have any friends i'm joking
That's a good idea though, I may do that, thank you for the tip

Your art is very cute, can't wait to hear that Aussie accent in your stream.

Tipping problems everyone and how to prevent/resolve it ?
Or the fear of chargeback in the improbable occasion of someone donating you ?

>>4334298
What? ESL-chama please rephrase.

>>4335131
anon is worried about getting donations chargeback'd

>>4335157
Oh uh. How I see it is that no donos are to be expected as “real” until 6 months after or if they are from a regular viewer. I’ve never been charged back once though.

>>4335249
they're not thinking about expected donations. just the concern about being charge backed.

Reminder for anons who are looking for a horror game to stream, Little Nightmares is free to download until the 30th.

silly question, what kind of sounds are okay and which ones should i avoid? from what i've seen, food asmr is okay as long as you don't talk and seems like most viewers hate streamers talking with their mouths full. but munching down on crunchy chips seem okay. same with audibly sipping on some water. is that the general guideline?

>>4336650
Some hate it some like it. See what your audience thinks or just do it once and see the reactions are

>>4336650
Don't go ASMR-level and do it right infront of the mic. Then, everything is ok. Nobody minds you chew a snack.

>>4336650
I do 6+ hour streams and when I eventually eat I just lean away from the mic. From my personal viewers that don't mind hearing you eat but never talk with food in your mouth. I also cover my mouth because I think chewing looks weird with my model.

>doing up an Iron Vertex submission
>you have to choose "Any IV animator", "Brian", or "Enma"
>Brian & Enma start at much higher prices
I know Brian is the big man in IV, and probably the most experienced, but would the quality difference be that high? I'm looking through their examples in the tiers page and it doesn't seem to be that big.

Diminishing returns
But some people just want that EXTRA little bit

>>4342515
I figured it was that. I was considering it but Brian starts at like $3800+ USD and I was just going to apply for a T2 rig so that seems massive overkill.

>>4342600
If it helps with the decision, every rig gets QC'd by Brian at the end anyways so technically you'll have his hand in it in some way no matter who you pick

>>4342648
Yeah I remember seeing that sort of thing, so I realize that its not a quality crapshoot. Well, here we go. Paid my artist for the commission today, and now submitted the form for IV. Now that things are rolling its time to get all the technical items ready.

>>4343164
Good luck anon
maybe we'll see each other on the other side

three days after i DMed the artist about how my comm is going their mom posts on their twitter that they attempted suicide. i dont know what to think

>>4343923
>i dont know what to think
your commission's probably delayed by like 2 more weeks

>>4343206
That'd be neat. I'll break out the good stuff if I see anyone that looks like they're from /asp/. I hope you all find the success you're looking for.
