/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

>>7477927

Try to raid people whose content you enjoy. Even if they've got some more viewers than you do, no one's going to be upset that someone brought another 3 viewers to them. Obviously, if you raid someone with hundreds of viewers, that's not really cool, but stick with people in the same ballpark and you're all good.

Any cheapo but decent quality skeb recommendations for a character design?

Has anyone here passed the audition phase and went into an interview before?

>>7485671
Odd way to phrase that. Did you pass round 1 for Niji, anon?

>>7485563
What kind of design? Style/theme/gender etc

>>7485757
...How was the phrasing weird at all?

>>7486355
Fair point. Less odd and more suspicious given the timing. Instead of "Anyone have an audition with a corpo" or anything it's specifically "anyone pass the audition and then go into the interview",
But more I'm just finishing to see if anyone can actually confirm they're in round 2. Though anyone who says it is probably full of shit anyway.

>>7486465
I feel like for the NijiEN male auditions, it's going to be some time before we hear anything. I wouldn't be surprised it they got the bulk of their applications in the last two days before the deadline, so they've got a lot to sort through.

>>7486465
Anon here. It’s not Niji, but I have a interview soon.

>>7486753
Congrats, anon! Good luck!

>>7486753
Good luck, my dude. Hope you do well and enjoy what comes after.

>>7486753
Do your best, or else.

>>7486769
>>7487019
>>7487130

Thanks everyone. A lot of advice here helped me improve. Good luck too if you and anyone else here is auditioning.

>>7487345
Thanks. Waiting to see if I get any views on my NijiEN (male) audition, but trying not to check more than once a day.

>>7487387
I'm an anon in the boat right there with you, man. I just want them to watch my audition. I worked hard on that, so I'd really like them to see that. I sort of feel like if they look at it I have a good chance of moving on to round 2 where I can put my foot in the mouth.

https://mobile.twitter.com/chuu_vt/status/1422782184834813955 I know someone here is going to want it, so.

>>7486276
Goth lolita ojou-sama vibe. Is that too basic though? Might as well get opinions here before dumping cash in.

>>7488556
So like Victorique from Gosick?

>>7477927
>What's good raiding etiquette on twitch? I'm a literal 2view

Feel free to pretty much raid anyone. Generally, I try to look for people of a similar size, so if I've got 7, I'll maybe look for people with up to 20. With 2 viewers, you're a bit fucked, but so long as they're both posting the raid messag. I feel that the breaking point -f they don't post it, then they're lurkers who've wandered off.

You can raid people bigger than you, and at worst you'll get called out for being a clout chaser.

All that said, I've found it much better to raid people I follow and have watched before. I attempted raiding people of a similar size playing the same games, but if you've never watched them before, then they could be really dull. Pick streamers you like (don't just pick catgirls every time though, chat will figure that out).

>>7488669
It's a lot of fun to raid someone whose streams you enjoy, even if you're not bringing that many people. I'm sure they'll appreciate the sentiment, too.

A girl character that uses a muppet to talk but the muppet sounds like a guy.

>>7489722
A live feed of a fish that communicates via dog noises with a live translator who is of indeterminate gender, sex, ethnicity, and English competency.

>>7488656
Yep, just a little more mature looking and smug basically.

>>7488556
Honestly anon, go for it if that what you actually want and can afford it.

>>7489528
Raiding people I like is what I've started doing. It can really confuse my viewers though, because I often stream before bed... So we go from streaming Doom to chilling in an ASMR or gentle art stream.

>>7489743
I'd take that over all the generic m*le chuubas

What things are safe to talk about and what aren't? I haven't had a normal conversation that's lasted longer than a minute since 2008.

>>7490830
You can't be serious man

>>7490830
dam.. that would be interesting to watch.

>>7490830
Just because most chuubas are autistic doesn't mean all autists can be chuubas.

could i use yukkuri voice text to speech instead of a mic or would people think im a pathetic loser who deserves to die?

>>7485671
Yes for a start-up. The team were pretty nice but I wouldn't compare them to other, more experienced companies.

>>7489748
You want aristocratic lolita style instead of gothic.

>>7492130
People would probably think something is odd. Why don't you want to use your voice?

Considering rebranding from a generic moth that loves lamps to something more in tune with my interests outside generic internet culture.

Honest thoughts? Sorry for the scuffed edit job. I want to add a backpack and some more utility but I also worry about over cluttering the design.

>>7495344
You planning on leaving /here/?

>>7495480
No?

>>7495344
I think it's definitely better to be closer in line with your real world interests, since you'll be more engaging when you're talking about the things you like.

The design is cute. I'm not artistically inclined, so I don't have much good feedback. Maybe an accent of a brighter color somewhere?

>>7495576
Thanks! I'll see what I can do, I think you're onto something.

>>7495344
If you're staying as a mothgirl, you have a built-in excuse for changing your model.

"As you all know, moths come from caterpillars, which then cocoon themselves to grow into their adult form. Unlike other moths, I have many forms, so I'm goign to re-cocoon myself and come out in a new form! I'll still be me, but I might be a bit different to what you remember"

It's not perfectly worded, but you get the idea.

But yeah, if your current avatar isn't easy to be, then switch it up a bit.

what the fuck is up with the pinned comment and its replies
are these really the people trying to become vtubers? actual genuine bottom feeding retards?

>>7497852
Yes. Vtubing is in right now, so of course it'll attract the bottom of the barrel.

Does watching my own unlisted audition tape on youtube give it a view? Or will the view counter only go up if the corpos watch it

>>7495344
The school outfit + Shooting range outfit, made me think immediately of a school shooter.
Personally I wouldn't mix the two.
But if that's something you want to keep, my only real complaint is the colours.

>>7499366
Yes your own views count.

>>7495344
>>7499490
Try drawing inspiration from Girl's Frontline if you want to combine those two outfits together.

>>7495344
Looks cool, I love some of the blue archive characters like aru and it kinda reminds me of that. Honestly not a fan of the jacket's color, should also try to add stuff to the jacket or shirt i m o. I'm really interested so I wish you good luck

>>7499817
Didn't Girl's Frontline give AR-15 a "back to school" skin?

>>7500015
Sort of

>>7499817
I think that works well, you could also make them look like a hunter, or a police officer.

>>7495344
I like it anon keep at it and hope see you around on twitch or youtube

>>7495344
Bushcrafting and firearms should be neat, I've been trying to incorporate similar topics into my streams myself.

Is it better to play games that fit your tuuba's theme, games that you enjoy, or games that you are good at?
I know there's a lot of potential overlap there, but imagine three distinct possibilites with no overlap

>>7501694
Ideally those should all overlap, or at least two of the three at any given time. So if you play something you enjoy and are good at, even if it doesn't necessarily fit your theme, you'll be engaging and fun to watch.

If it fits your theme and you have fun playing it, you'll be fun to watch even if you're bad at it.

I'd say avoid games you don't enjoy, no matter how thematically appropriate, because you won't be fun to watch, most likely. Unless you're fun to watch suffer.

>>7501694
Ideally, they'd overlap.

Otherwise, I'd say enjoyment is probably the most important, CLOSELY followed by one you're good at. Chat will get bored if you're shit at it, unless you're really entertaining (or are female, and in the hot-tub category).

But so long as it's one you enjoy, and can explain a chunk of, then I think chat will probably forgive you being bad at it, unless it's oversaturated.

>>7501694
game you enjoy. you're still a streamer and kayfabe is a minor part of why viewers watch you. just because your vtuber is a chef doesn't mean you need to play Cooking Mama games if you get bored and hate minigames. if you're not having fun, your viewers will know and they'll get put off.

>>7501694
On this subject, what about playing old games?
I'm not really planning on vtubing, but I'd watch the shit out of one who played classic Doom megawads. The closest we got was Korone playing Doom 64, but I doubt she'd try anything interesting like Ancient Aliens or Back to Saturn X.
These tend to be much harder than the originals though, so I think most people will be dying and saving a lot.

>>7502934
ProfBloom actually was playing classic DOOM wads the other day. I play old video games too, as do some others in /wvt/ like Maroony and Picky.

>>7502934
Prof Bloom plays Doom megawads. He's played Hellbound and Bloodstain so far

What kind of alternatives do I have if I want to go past oversized jackets and techwear for a vtuber costume?

What if I don't have any real theme or lore behind the design to begin with?

>>7495344
I think you can start looking at Girls Frontline designs to see the limit of what you can get away with.

I think you need more "practical" gear strapped to your outfit like those tactical pouches and ammo holders. Maybe have binoculars or some radio strapped to you.

For visual's sake as a vtuber, the pure camo on the jacket is a bit visually unappealing. Maybe you can make it two-tone?

Hope you don't mind if I redline or draw over your draft, okay?

>>7503365
There's nothing wrong with "normal" clothes as long as it still is a distinct style. Think of Doug Funnie. Very plain clothes, but still a distinct design.

How do I vtweet? I don't want to come across as a leech or anything but I want to get a potential audience before I debut.

>>7504300
Are you streaming already? Be streaming, don't worry about a debut. Tweet things that are relevant, retweet vtubers you enjoy watching.

>>7504300
Remember to take everything with a grain of salt. But I say.
>when you actually have a debut planned or just feel ready, make your first twitter post of the debut date
>do NOT become a TBA
>twitter is NOT your main platform, it's just a vehicle to make your streams known
>you can, however, interact with other people on twitter, but keeping in mind that your focus should be on streams
>escaping the 2view hole will be a long process, if you don't feel like enduring it, then please reconsider actually debuting
>don't be ashamed of shilling yourself anywhere, but don't be retarded about it

Do you guys do anything to pump yourself up/loosen up before you stream? Something to make you more talkative and engaging? I'm finding it a bit difficult to fill the silence if I can't get into the right mindset beforehand.

>>7495344
There's someone around here who's been doing channel logos that are a bit different from the usual vtuber logos going around on twitter. She can help you if I can get ahold of her.

>>7504779

>>7504446
>don't be ashamed of shilling yourself anywhere, but don't be retarded about it
This is the issue I have right now. Bring an autistic retard doesn't help. At least my 2 view hole is now like a 5 view hole now though.

>>7506534
Just drop a link in wvt and say you're going live

>>7497852
It's just the vtubing version of 12 years wanting in

>>7496751
Is the thing for real or is the file secretly malware?

If I were to stream with one of my "dolls" on cam instead of myself, would that count as vtubing?
Naturally I'd have to black out the screen whenever I move her, but I think it would be fun.

>>7510443
It'd count. Kinda esoteric.

>>7510443

Why would you ever want to go corp?

>>7511700
money and connections?

>>7511700
Branding is really, really powerful. In the case of Hololive EN and Nijisanji EN we've seen massive audiences for debuts with no prior content.

>>7511700
Money, branding, better connections and more possibilities early on, better start than indies. Just about everything is better than being an indie if you're actually good at content creation and aren't just baiting coomers or something.

>>7511948

> we've seen massive audiences for debuts with no prior content
No we haven't? Everyone in HoloEN had prior content creation experience even though only one of them was a streamer. NijiEN is the same way, even Fina despite being TBA had pre-debut content.

Massive debuts with no prior content is an indie thing.

>>7511700
Reach and resources. You're guaranteed more eyeballs by default.

>>7512422
>even Fina despite being TBA had pre-debut content
Literally just one amogus collab.

>>7512422
I think you've misunderstood what I said.

>>7512422

When any Niji males get an email let us know so the rest of us can get our hopes down.

>>7512479
Content isn't limited to streaming.

>>7512544
My video interview is today, cheers.

>>7512785
Bloom is already graduating from /here/...

>>7512893
No, I haven't heard from Nijisanji yet, and I don't really expect to. I don't have enough track record yet, and I hadn't hit affiliate when I submitted my application. Good for this anon, though!
>>7512785

>>7512544
I got in guys, we already have 3 males. Management is looking for a 4th but if they can't find anyone we'll debut as a 3man unit

>>7516704
>tfw won't get to be one of the boys

Damn, maybe next time

>>7516704
I really doubt they've already got selections. They're still in the contact and interview process and its only 3 days since closing. It's not even enough time to do their second and third video interviews and character audition/tweak portion.

>>7517247
Wait... are you implying that a schizo on /asp/ is larping as someone else?

>>7517440
Say it ain't so!

How's your growth been, /asp/ie? Did you try something new, or have you found what works?

>>7518657
Just always doing the same thing that nets me 0 views.

Any tips for debuting for a newbie? Not sure what day to set it up and what info to include.

>>7518657
Doing good! Just hit affiliate, and really enjoying myself. There's been lots of great advice here. We're all gonna make it, anons.

>>7518901
What do you mean by debut? Have you streamed before?

>>7518657
I've been getting enough viewers to hit affiliate. I just need to up my game now, since I don't stream anything too flashy.

>>7518657
Doing well. Just hit affiliate, celebrating soon, and working on streaming more than twice a week.

Only complaint is that my entire chat is other streamers. And they get pissy if I shout out one of them, but not all the others. I think two of them are dating, but not open about it because they're gay. Another one of them is gosling for me, and I kinda like it.

>>7518901
>Not sure what day to set it up and what info to include
I'm gonna assume that you mean literally debut, like starting your channel for the first time.

I don't think newbies should necessarily debut like the big streamers. You should probably do a brief intro for those watching for the first time, then just switch over to the type of stream you want to do regularly. For example, I spent like barely 5 minutes on my debut before I switched over to gameplay.

As for what info to include, just summarize what you want to be known for as a streamer. What type of streams do you want to do? What particular stuff are you gonna be streaming? Is there a particular game you love that your streamers are gonna see you revisit? Do you have a super bubbly personality or are you more reserved? Are you going to be very hyper and emotional during your streams or are you going to be calm and chill?

Just the basics. Don't think too much about it, anon, you'll do great.

>>7520300
Only a handful of times. I have 10k+ on another account though and a lot of people are pushing for me to have a debut relate to the character.

>>7518901
Don't.

Start streaming, get your reps in, build a community. Don't try to arrange your debut yet - save it for affiliate, or for when you regularly hit [target] viewers in a stream.

Your debut will (possibly) pull in extra attention. So you want to make sure you can handle it, so you don't ruin it. But at the same time, if you have literally no contacts, then it could well just be you shouting into the void.

Build up steam, build up hype, and save the debut for now. You get to do it maybe twice; three times if you're a hot girl (once for your 'debut', and then *MAYBE* you get a second if you ever go for a L2D/3d model. If you're hot, you can then go for a third when you get your second L2D as an upgrade, but that's pushing it and hoping you get some whales)/

So why are you here? If you've built to 10K on another account, you're bigger than pretty much any /here/ or /here/ adjacent chuuba

>>7521565
Not that anon, but I have a blog with over a few million views, but none of that would carry over to vtubing. Very different stuff.

what's /here/

>>7521239
>a lot of people are pushing for me to have a debut relate to the character.
you can do that, but you'll just be branded as a bandwagoner face cam who is just hopping on the vtuber trend. if you're not a face cam then who cares, just go for it? you don't need validation from 4chan, just do it if you want

>>7521565
nta, but sometimes you just want to branch off and do something else. In my case, it's a yt channel that has a video with 1+ million views and plenty hovering in the couple hundred thousands. It's also not really relatable to vtubing, so I decided to just make my twitch separately.

>>7522040
4chan chuubas

>>7518657
Still streaming weeklies to 1 viewer on average. Sometimes someone shows up to chat.
I added a controller overlay to better show what I'm doing.

>>7522101
The kind of person to have their first emote be the Unibomber.

>>7522291
unironically based desu

>>7521565
>>7522049
Not a facecam, and not really looking for validation. Was looking for information like should I make a discord before, should I have the character concept posted somewhere before debut, etc. Like what caused you growing pains you wished you'd dealt with before hand and would warn people about now if you knew they were starting out/about to debut?

>>7522679
>should I make a discord
do you have one for your current internet persona? if no, there's your answer. if yes, just use that?
>should I have the character concept posted somewhere before debut
no one gives a fuck about designs unless they're not obviously debuffs like a faceless masked character that doesn't move or looks like pic related
>Like what caused you growing pains you wished you'd dealt with before hand and would warn people about now if you knew they were starting out/about to debut?
don't debut. that's it. debuts are fucking dumb and only good for ego stroking numbers that one day only to lose 80% of the viewers your immediate next stream.ay4xw

>>7522392

>>7522049
>you can do that, but you'll just be branded as a bandwagoner face cam who is just hopping on the vtuber trend

Yeah, to some random 4channer retards. No one actually cares about vtubers who show their face but people here and holotards. Most of the top indies have shown face already and seem to be doing pretty fucking good. If you've got a past following use it to the fullest.

>>7518657
I've come to a realisation. playing viral games are pretty good at getting you one or fresh viewers who I guess are just browsing the game's page. The downside is that they are literal kids it would seem. They're not guaranteed to follow, but if you can keep them entertained they can be a pretty active chatter

>>7523753
Too immature of an audience can be a detriment in the long run if that's not the direction you intend on going.

>>7522049
>you'll just be branded as a bandwagoner
>you don't need validation from 4chan

I see, it was a test all along

>>7524530
>4chan is the only place that'll brand you as a bandwagoner
you need to leave this site now and then, friendo

>>7511948
instantly skip the 2view hurdle

>>7524584
A lot of the "bandwagoners" are plenty big and had a good amount of viewers before even showing face, no one fucking cares but holoniggers who won't watch indies anyway

>>7523753
I got an 11 year old Russian girl to pop up in chat while streaming S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and had no fucking idea what to say

>>7518657
Basically non-existent. The viewers who do show up usually end up being weird and making the whole vibe awkward, like I mentioned in the last thread. I mean, I don't expect to grow very quickly. I don't have much of a niche, my schedule's irregular, I barely advertise, and I'm still kind of awkward. Even so, by and large, I'm having a good time.
Planning to start playing some solo board games on stream with the ultimate goal of getting to play stuff with other Vtubers.

Can i post my twitter here?

>>7525316
You can, but why anyone would want to breach containment and link themselves back to here is beyond me.

>>7525355
Containment?

>>7525369
containment breach

you getting linked back to 4chan

it's not really that big of a deal, honestly, since you probably won't be cancelled, but the more you link yourself back to this place the more likely you'll get a few schizo stragglers in your following. There's a reason why people leave here and never come back.

>>7525355
Because no one fucking cares. Literally NO ONE CARES about containment. No one cares about the 4chan boogeyman, no one cares you go on 4chan, and no form of link to this place will ever come back to hurt you in any meaningful way besides the microscopic chance of some TBA or 2view tranny saying "b-b-b-b--but he goes on 4chan! tt-t--they're hackers and racists right?!" which would only help you once the outrage kicks in and your name is plastered everywhere

>>7525521
lol no one is ever worried about trannies on the outside trying to cancel us over 4cha, it's the schizos on boards like these that we want to avoid.

>>7525316
If you drop your Twitch link, it wouldn't be hard to find, but you could maintain plausible deniability if you really wanted to, and say that someone else linked your Twitch.

what's a good middle ground between getting up close to the mic for the bass boost vs losing face tracking because the mic is blocking your mouth?

>>7528245
Probably literally that, the middle ground. Make a bunch of test recordings and see what works best. Or maybe try playing your mic angled at your mouth from below your chin line, close to your throat. That should leave your face unobstructed, too.

>>7528599
>mic angled at your mouth from below your chin line
unfortunately, my mic arm doesn't really let it get to that position without getting in the way of my mouse arm, but i'll mess around with it.

>>7528653
I feel your pain, my mic arm isn't long enough for me to stand up to sing, and I would really like to be able to do that. I may have to cobble together some boom extension to enable me to do that.

>>7528784
it works good enough when i put it 45 degrees to my face, but now i almost feel like i don't need my pop filter since i'm talking past the mic and not at it

>>7529010
Probably can't hurt to keep it in place, though. Maybe try both with and without it, and try going through some extremes, from quiet to loud, yelling, laughing, etc.

>>7529038
>extremes, from quiet to loud, yelling, laughing, etc.
it's a bit late, so i'll have to test that out tomorrow. thanks anon.

>>7525506
i'm gonna make it obvious i visit without making it obvious just watch

>>7525316
yes
>>7525355
breaking containment is when you actively talk about 4chan on stream which almost anyone linked here is good about not doing with a few minor exceptions
there's more than a couple of 100+ avg chuubas that lurk and sometimes post in threads like /asp/ or /wvt/

At what point restricting chat to followers only becomes acceptable? Or you can have it like this from the start?

>>7536586
300+ viewers

>>7536586
Don't do it from the start. I almost always leave when a small stream is followers only and never bother following to chat

>>7536586
300+ would be the absolute minimum

the only reason to do it would be that your chat is getting drowned out by children. that only happens when you are actually popular.

for those who want free overlays there is this vtuber here https://twitter.com/sozaiyairis

What's the best way to find a character designer? I was thinking about hiring da3iann, but are there any who could do better than that for a similar price?

>>7540743
That guy is a artist, not a character designer. Search “character designer” on Twitter until you find something good.

How does a music recommendation sound for a stream? I'm not a singer or play an instrument, just wanna share my tastes with chat

>>7541653
Do you have interesting context or background to add to your recommendations? Or is it just, "this is music I like?" You could do listen-alongs with chat, but I think that mostly works once you've got a following.

anything funny i can read to test out my mic

>>7541733
I was thinking along the lines of having a set number of bands based on a genre, reviewing them on stream and going heavy on their history, ie picking a big band and noting how they influenced their genre or trivia like megadeth making a song for a game

>>7542008
That could be good. Really add value through education and context, and if you're an interesting and passionate presenter, I think it'll work. That kind of stream might take a lot of pre-work, and probably wouldn't be monetizable since you'd be playing music on stream, presumably, but it might still be a lot of fun.

>>7542056
thabks for the feedback, content is something that i really want to work on because I cant sing or draw so i gotta supplement game streams with something.

>>7542173
I think we're only starting to scratch the surface of the types of vtuber content there can be. There's so much more out there than gaming and drawing, and even within gaming and drawing, there's still a lot of room for interesting or unique content.

Good luck, anon! Make sure to drop a link when you're ready to go so we can check out your music ranking streams!

Sounds boring if I'm gonna be honest and is so niche that there's gonna be almost no one that will watch except for your current followers. Even then it might not appeal to them. Music recommendation will work for a small section of a stream, but not the entire thing.

1. There's gonna be long periods of silence to fully enjoy the music..
2. If viewers don't like that music, they aren't gonna be interested in the history of the band.
3. New viewers most likely aren't gonna be interested in what some random guy's music tastes are.

If you're doing this for yourself, great. If you want to grow your audience? Not a good idea IMO

How long is enough reps before linking? I heard 2 weeks of consistent streams a couple times just to get into the feeling of carrying the stream without chat and to buff out the audio issues and other stuff.

>>7542958
Drop the link! You're getting your reps in, and now it's time to shill yourself.

>>7533717
she does art and posted song covers on twitter, recording and mixing is a skill

How do you guys decide what will your avatar looked like?
i heard people say make it so the avatar match your voice but im asking just in case

>>7544243
I haven't designed anything, I just grabbed a clip art that was somewhat thematic
Same with starting screens/music, I just grabbed what was available and free use

If you want a genuine answer, think about how people who play ttrpgs design their characters. You pick a fitting character archetype and go based on the rules of that archetype, decide what parts you want to keep, throw out, or subvert and go in the opposite direction
Find a bunch of inspo pics and make a collage after you do this, and try to pick what aspects from each you want to combine

Alternatively, find an artist and pay them to go back and forth to design it for you

>>7544243
I thought about the content I wanted to make, and then imagined what someone who does those things would look like. I don't think voice to model mismatch is as big a thing as people make it out to be, though. You just need to be able to speak comfortably.

How important is a channel trailer on Twitch and/or an introductory video on YouTube? I thought about making one but I fucking hate that they both auto-play regardless of if you've already seen it or are following/subbed. Seems like it would just annoy people rather than make them want to stay.

>>7544775
Make it only after you have done most of the other production value shit on your stream
Having a bgm, screens for start/end/brb and an overlay is much more important than a trailer only a fraction of people will watch

>>7544775
It’s a nice thing to have, will make you seem more serious and also will give viewers a quick feel if they like you or not.

>>7544775
it's nice to have once you've got content to show visitors what they can expect. it's better than a debut video at doing that. but not something you have to worry about until you've got some consistent content under your belt.

>>7545630
I would argue with that point though, because making a channel intro will also help you decide on your content direction better. Unlike debuts, you can always change the channel trailer to reflect the current state of your content.

>>7545792
>making a channel intro will also help you decide on your content direction better
this is really fucking retarded. you write the book first, then decide on a good title, not the other way around. you don't pigeon hole yourself into one specific thing especially when you don't even know what content you're making.

Wish the viewing public was as receptive to my ranting as my therapist. I'd have thousands of subs.

>>7545820
You usually also pick a subject the book is going to be about first instead of vomiting ideas on page and hoping a theme emerges. That is, unless you have a metric ton of free time.

You’re not wrong, but floundering without deciding on a direction is just as bad as pigeonholing. You need to give viewers something to associate you with.

>>7546277
>You usually also pick a subject the book is going to be about first
everyone already knows what they're gonna do. 90% of people are gonna be variety game streamers. it's the one with the widest accessibly audience and the easiest to get into. it's not that difficult. if you're not in that 90%, chances are you already know what you're going to do anyway because you have a special talent or niche or gimmick.

for that majority who will end up just being streamers who play games and occassionally karaoke, make content before you put together a channel intro video.

>>7542958
For /asp/? Right when you start
For /wvt/? Whenever you feel comfortable.
They do want more "homegrown" talent so you could always just say you've just started and post yourself there and pretend you've never posted in /asp/

>>7546179
I mean, if it's ranting about video games or television shows I'd say that's a pretty established youtube genre.

>>7547154
AVGN made a whole career out of it.

>>7547154
>>7547334
Mostly about extra-yab topics like how we live in a society and shit. I could probably rant about video games but I don't know if I could keep my power level in check. Everyone I talk to is either paid to listen to me or is already as deep in as I am.

>>7506085
>have a little vodka and red bull right before stream
>it works wonders
>no awkward pauses or forced commentary, better gameplay, completely fluid commentary

I see substance abuse is the key to success.

That sounds like hell on the tastebuds though.

What is the difference between artist and character designer?

>>7547818
Character designers know a lot more about coordinating colors, shapes, and symbols to create a cohesive and attractive design.

What does BFE mean?

boyfriend experience

>>7548991
How do I be a boyfriend?

If anyone was up in the air about doing a test stream or getting your reps in before debut, look at how Kani Kanizawa's debut went. It was a powerpoint presentation before she changed her ISP. She's lucky she's in with a bunch of heavy hitters in the envtubing scene.

>>7549238
start practicing being a boyfriend by streaming

>>7549299
But I've never dated anyone.

>>7535423
My BFE would probably not be that different from my usual content.

Asked in WVT, but more relevant here, as this is supposed to be for the chuubas, not the viewers. What's everyone's thoughts in general on raiding upward? How far is too far?

My last stream, I raided with 9, but only five of us were active in chat (one was my partner, on their phone but asleep), so only five posting the raid message. We raided someone with a chat of 15, so slightly bigger, but not that much difference.

Obviously, raiding Ironmouse with ten people is clout-chasing. Even if you love her stuff, you'd be better doing a shadow-raid instead. But is a raiding party of 5-10 reasonable to send to someone who's got 50 watchers? Or 100? Does it change if you're a sub on the channel you're raiding?

Looking for any advice, because I don't want to look like I'm trying to force my way in on things, but I don't follow many people the same size as me, and most of them are shit.

>>7549491
just don't raid the big names, that's it.

>>7549491
Make friends with large and small streamers. Raid your friends. Done.

The popularity of "horny and toxic (eg gamer heated moments)" vchuubas like veibae and co makes me want to become one... Is being respectful and not talking about how much you want people to fuck you every minute not good enough? What's happening?

>>7549491
raiding upwards is leaching and pathetic
no one wants some loser with pitiful viewers stomping into their channel exclaiming their name

its a charity thing when bigger streamers raid downwards like they are giving a piss smelling beggar a dime when they are about to drive away in their limousine

>>7549650
Do you actually want people to fuck you every minute? Don't blindly chase a trend for numbers, but if it's something you want to do and would enjoy, you can find a way to incorporate it that fits your brand.

>>7549650
I dunno, I've sat through a few hours of her stream and that stuff really isn't as common as clipfags seem to think, it's just the only thing that gets clipped and shared. It's the same for all the vshojo and vshojo adjacent people that /vt/ spergs out about. It's just what clipfags like to watch

>>7549491
There's nothing wrong with raiding in any direction, ignore autists. If you like their content and they're big, by all means raid them. If you just want to raid someone your size then do that too, there's literally nothing wrong and no one but retards here care.

>>7549747
this just sounds like the seethe of someone that never gets raided

>>7549650
Do what you want. Vei didn't make it because of that only, and she didn't just start streaming and became big because of catering to coomers only. Look at actually how long she streamed, plus her newer model got her a huge buff.

>>7549926
This. People like streamers who don't give a fuck and aren't trying to push this "uwu comfy pwease no huwt im baby" rhetoric. I know so many people who have a boring stream persona but off stream are way more entertaining and real. They're just worried they'll alienate their current audience so they can't switch. Literally just by yourself unless you want to get by on being entirely fake.

Would anyone have the time to look at a bit of my latest vod and give me some feedback? It's mostly some friends coming to my streams atm so I need some feedback about whether my stream is entertaining for a newcomer and what I can do to improve. Would appreciate it, please and thank you.

move your shit to the right, hurts my eyes flipping back and forth from the left to the right side between watching your avatar and looking at chat to type a response

How have your streaming reps been going, /asp/? Tell me one thing that happened while you were streaming this week that made you happy!

>>7552661
someone chatted in my stream earlier this week and told me they usually go around looking at small view streamers. told me that they thought i had potential. made my fucking day.

>>7552661
Keep trying to build myself up to it, psyching myself out in the process.
I keep checking games to see how well they'll run and if I can stream them, and my processor keeps peaking out.
Other days, I'll just sit and deathscroll through the same few websites and waste the entire day.

>>7552661
I'm hoping my stream tomorrow goes well because I'm going into the game blind and don't have facts or knowledge about the game to throw out.

>>7553165
What game?

>>7549238
Tell your viewers you'll do something
Then never do it
Then get pissed off at them for bringing it up again
Then act like its their problem for being emotional and leaving you when they don't want to deal with your bullshit.

I've started noticing a couple of actual regulars coming to my streams that are actual viewers it seems, as opposed to other chuubas

>>7552661
I love it getting comments that make me laugh or inspires me to do my best! It's great when I can just shoot the breeze with chat when I'm streaming and know that someone's actually listening as I hurt myself on stream.

>>7554227
>Armored Core
I think you can get a bit of traction if you can do these things:
1. Make a skin from user suggestions or based on a vtuber
2. Arrange for vs matches via the AC communities and viewers

For vs matches you'll usually get most of them in Silent Line or Last Raven versions.

AC 4 and V are cockblocked by PSN/Live subscription paywalls.

>>7556399
I never even thought about multiplayer, that'd be pretty fun if my internet could handle streaming and a multiplayer game at the same time (I seriously doubt it can). Thanks for the advice!

I'm not feeling good about my chances for getting into Nijisanji. How do I know if they rejected me? Do they send an email?

After uploading my niji application I was super anxious, checking back everyday, stressed at the fact I hadn't gotten a single view yet. But after returning to doing my usual stream reps, I've started to feel less anxious about it, maybe it's me accepting the fact I probably didn't make it and am working on reps for next time? Still no views, I'm guessing it's just that they got swamped towards the end and it's just taking a while

>>7518657
Not a VTuber (yet), just a normal “““content creator”””, but I recently hit 9 subscribers so it’s something. I have some idea on what videos to do next, tier list, story analysis, and the game’s story in a nutshell, stuff like that, but my irl job just entered a period of continuous overtime so I haven’t been able to gather any footage or do any editing for the past week.

>>7558545
They said they were only going to be contacting those who made it

Y'all looking too hard into this.

Guessing by the GachaLife character they're probably 12-17. They probably don't even know what vtubers even are.

>>7552661
I had to take 2 weeks off due to being out of home on holiday but my first stream back was something new and enjoyable so I'm looking forward to streaming more.

>>7555678
Isn't it nice when you've got someone responsive in chat? Even if they only pop in for a few, it really lightens the mood, I think. Keep up the good work!

>>7559015
That's still cool, though, you're making content. If you ever start streaming, you'll already have your feet under you. Sorry to hear that work's grinding you down.

>>7562280
Drop your links when you stream! Love to check out your content.

>>7555653
maybe put this in the main OP for next thread since this frequently gets shared and asked for

>>7563863
I really need to be pilled on dropping my link as I'm anxious about just being disliked haha

>>7564309
No one can dislike you if you're never mentioned.

>>7564798
I mean yeah that's true I guess I'll consider it when I start in a bit.

>>7564916
Get those stream reps in!

>>7552661
I got raided by a much larger streamer, who's watched a few other of my streams. That was pretty neat.

>>7564941
Should I drop here or /wvt/?

>>7565573
either is fine; usually people drop streams here if they need like, technical advice with their stream but otherwise you could just post in /wvt/ so that they don't immediately assume you're an /asp/ie

>>7565532
That's such a good feeling.

>>7565573
Both, though you may get branded an /asp/ie. Not really a problem though.

>>7565792
>>7565820
Valid point thank you both.

there's is a big chance that this weekend im gonna stream something with my shitty english

>>7567098
Hell yeah, that's the spirit!

I can shoot the shit with people for hours but I find it difficult to just sit there talking to myself. How to overcome the 2view hurdle and actually have a chat to bounce off of?

>>7567893
take the schizo pill and make up a conversation to reply to in your head

>>7568114
Jerma does this and he's huge.

>>7569505
Jerma was lucky enough to do this back in 2010 when youtube was fucking barren landscape and people could do anything. trying to recreate it now is literally impossible.

>>7569518
Thousands of people tune in to watch a psychopath experience acute persona fragmentation, the market is not tapped for schizoposting streamers.

>>7569553
>the market is not tapped for schizoposting streamers.
prove me wrong and go try to recreate Jerma's success.

>>7569559
bet, gimme 10 years

Should I wait until I’m good enough at drawing and editing that my drawings and music not suck to show them on stream? Or would viewers tolerate me not being very skilful if I enjoy making them and they are authentic?

>>7569843
Do you just mean in general or as the theme of the stream? I don't know how many people want to watch someone they don't know just doodle if it's particularly skillless.

>>7562280
Stream is over now, I think it went well as I was getting back into the swing of things still. I can drop the twitch stream summary if someone is interested for some reason.

>>7569873
In general, I try to make my own model and bgm but it’s pretty basic because I’ve only started recently. I feel if I commission it it wouldn’t be „me“ enough.

>>7569945
If it's just a bit of scuff I don't think people will mind. Keep in mind some scuff does not equal 30 minutes in paint.

Should I stop streaming on Saturdays because there are too many competitions? Thinking about streaming on Sunday instead since there is less competition in my field at that time.

>>7571274
You can use twitchstrike to analyse data by hour and see. But it will only make a difference if the lack of competition puts you on the first 2-3 rows on a category.

Is mothposter ever coming back? We only meant well.

>>7558545
It's only been four days. It'll take them a month to make calls or two weeks like that announcement on twitter. Best not to wait on the call and just get on with it

>>7572005
the one that wanted to change their model? what happened?

>>7571965
I understand being on the top rows helps visibilty, but I'm curious, how many of you here have actually had people come into your streams and actually chat/follow purely because they "stumbled upon you". And did they show up again in future streams that weren't the initial game?

>>7572548
My growth is mainly from two sources - one 'new vtuber' discord I shill myself in relatively hard; and from doing six hour Crusader King streams.

Early on, I might have used multiple devices to force myself to the top row of CK, and then had someone pop in as I was the only vtuber doing CK... He's now raided me three times, his partner's raided me multiple times, they shout me out each stream, even if I'm not there, and they're pushing hard to get a mega collab going in CK2.

would having a "bad stream" affect your possibility of getting recommended on twitch through its algorithms, or are recommendations purely based on your current stream content and well it overlaps with others? Eg. if I were to say, do a bunch of 12 hour long streams under no category to 0 viewers, when I switch back to regular streams will the "bad stats" hurt my visibility?

>>7572005
What you mean the one just posted here two days ago?
Calm down man. I took around 4 days to redesign my model, some people are slow or perfectionists. She's probably still working on it.

>>7574608
>She
why do so many people do this? I wanna stream with a female avatar too since I think it looks better but I dont want people to think Im a tranny or that I believe I am the avatar itself

What are your excuses for not going to see this cute teddy bear celebrate her 6 month anni-bear-sary?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2cXEes4Pew

>>7568114
Funnily enough, I did something similar not too long ago for a stream and it's been one of my better streams lmao. To be fair I was only pretending to be a schizo with a split personality

Is this the wrestling thread?

is the twitch streamer survey not working for anyone else? i just get a page with the ghost

>>7576280
Whatever works!

>>7518657
I'm busy irl but im improving my live2d model. I hope returning to stream in the next days

I've posted the idea before I can't get over how cool it would be to have something like pic related. I'm a guy so I'd make the puppet talk while the puppeteer just be the mascot, kind of like bahroo but not having two separate models

>>7583242
I like the idea, but I feel like you'd end up with a lot of people disappointed you aren't a cute girl. But if you're charismatic and fun to watch, I think you can make it work.

>>7583242
that's basically just a weak attempt to babiniku without technically being a babiniku. i would click away from the stream as soon as i realize it's a bait and switch

>>7583377
I'm mostly doing it for myself so I don't care

>>7583642
then who do you care what 4chan thinks?

>>7583658
'I don't care' if you won't watch

>>7583705
if you're doing it for yourself who cares? just go and start streaming with a bait and switch babi model. or are you still seeking validation from /here/?

>>7583754
just throwing ideas

>>7583770
>ideas
Got to be honest, it's going to cost you viewers.

Not just ones who thought you were a girl and followed because of that, but also ones who think you're doing it to gain followers as a bait-and-switch

Also, it limits you if you ever upgrade model - you can't have tracking of the puppet and the puppeteer, and having one be static would be really fucking weird

>>7485671
yeah, big names, too. sadge.

any quick tips for chara design?

Are color psychology and villain color schemes are things applicable to vtuber designs, or does it get subverted when it comes to actual streamer personalities?

>>7588065
it's not applicable to vtubers.

>>7588090
Not applicable to vtubers?

Is it because vtubers designs follow gacha character tendencies rather than stuff in anime/games/comics/cartoons?

>>7588175
no, because design doesn't fucking matter outside of obviously retarded debuffs. you're a streamer, not a cartoon character.

>>7588187
Character design matters a bunch, it's just not the most important thing. Cimrai's a good example. Even before she shared anything else, her model reveal vid got a ton of attention because of the design.

Design and quality is part of what gets you an initial click when your videos and pics are out there in a sea of other people.
