/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

oh jwu and saw that the old thread died at least six hours ago gomen for not making the new one but actually this OP is funnier than anything i'd ever make

>>7784957
Thank you, I worked very hard on it!

General question for other chuubies: what's the protocol for someone that's being inoffensively weird in chat? Like being off-topic but not spamming or saying anything rude etc., do you engage them? Do you just ignore them? Doesn't letting them stay around kill the chat's mood? Should I ask them to stop?

>>7785081
i've gotten a regular who sometimes posts really weird off topic stuff but nothing particularly offensive or at a rapid pace so sometimes i'll ignore it and sometimes i'll humor it for a very brief moment

>tfw upstairs neighbours are having a domestic again
no stream for me :(

>>7785502
Apartment living sucks. I don't think soundproofing works to keep outside sound out as well as it keeps inside sound in, unfortunately. Maybe you could do a 'mute' stream and play around with having a notepad to talk like corpse does? It might be fun to experiment with TTS, too.

>>7785081
I'm not a streamer but there will always be that one autist in chat, its only visible if you have a very slow chat

Recently got one of those twitter things, how do I use it to find an artist who can do character art, with commissions open?
I tried just looking around #commissionsopen but I need to narrow it down

>>7786173
Look on Skeb.
>>7773275
>Mocca got views
Wasn't he that vtwatter that got offended really easily at shit like someone tweeting comparing western chuubas to Japanese.

anyone have a guide to making clips? is there a formula i should follow? how long should it be? how much context should i include? am i overthinking this?

>>7787592
There was a guide posted earlier, but the gist of it was to construct a narrative and that the thumbnail is 90% of getting views. Anything under 10 minutes should work, under two minutes if you're not popular (also lets you upload to twitter). Include just enough context so the clip makes sense in isolation. DOTS: Don't Over Think Shit.

>>7786929
If you're this new then you should just fuck off honestly. Sick of new /asp/ies that haven't even spent 5 seconds lurking.

>>7788024
You say it because of the Skeb spoonfeeding or the Mocca thing. If it's the latter, the only Mocca I'm aware of was that one that sperged at a western/Japanese chuuba Tweet.

>>7785502
>black guy next door singing dead or alive for the 1000th time
>its not even good
2 months til i get my own house...

>>7788207
If you don't know who that is then you've spent absolutely zero time interacting with the western indie vtuber scene. Please fuck off, we don't need any more newfag leeches.

>>7788380
>being this mad over someone not knowing a western indie
I just saw this and thought I may just skip on this indie. Your meds, anon; don't forget them.

>>7788654
You're still upset about something that happened nearly a year ago and even still have an image of it saved. You are deeply mentally ill and probably the same schizo that shat up his threads previously.

>>7788654
please stop shitting up this thread by pretending not to know who mocca is. you obviously do and no one cares about your grudge or whatever. we have enough shit-flinging in these threads as is.

>>7788654
Mocca graduated anyway

>>7788654
oh my god please shut the fuck up

>>7788797
>>7788848
>thinking I actually saved this screencap and not just a quick google search or twatter search
Anon-chama, really how long have you been without your meds?
>>7788853
I just never checked Mocca and instead went with Shimada and Leaflit.

>>7788925
either link your stream or stop attentionwhoring with dramaposts.

>>7788951
Anon, I'm unironically concerned abbout you.

>>7788848
who cares they're still a fucking menhera

>>7789126
>>7788951
Will you two shut the fuck up already

I don't understand why /asp/ doesn't discuss the art of acting retarded. xqc literally does it methodically and became the top streamer by doing so. His trick is to make something stupid happen every 30 seconds to keep viewers entertained. No one talks about this stuff on /asp/. Please discuss ways to entertain people and keep them engaged.

>>7789618
>implying I have to act

>>7789618
Id rather have some vocal coaching protips.

>>7789677
speaking or singing?

>>7789618
We're /asp/ies, we don't have to act the retarded part. It comes naturally so might as well focus efforts into things like >>7789677
>>7789200
Is this Mocca?

>>7789618
>No one talks about this stuff on /asp/.
They're trying to replicate other vtubers instead of other streamers. That's why they're doomed to bomb. A lot of the top english vtubers watch and learned from normal streamers and not other vtubers and it's part of why they're able to stay on top of a lot of trends before they get to the 50 view randos. Go look at their follows and see who some of them watch.

>>7789710
Either one will do.
From my limited research both stem from the same place. ie singing and/or talking for long time both put strain on the chords.

However im a retard and cant figure out how to relax my throat when talking.

>>7789745
Sit down and watch a normal large streamer, then watch some 2views and try and spot differences in how they do things, that's where you'll get the best tips.

>>7789811
Problem with large streamers they can bounce off the chat. Meanwhile streaming to the empty room really depends on your improv skill.

Honestly id say maybe even watching standup comedians for ideas might be a good thing as they tend to talk AT the audience more.

>>7789811
>try and spot differences
ok
>be girl
>cute noises
>everything they say is twisted as a lewd joke
>occassional moaning sounds

>>7789789
Practice.
In general for relaxing you're throat, try to do a yawn or at least fake it. That feeling of a yawn is basically what a relaxed throat is like.
If you do a fake yawn, you can sort force the emulation and then relax it until its natural.

You can still move your throat muscles around in that state to produce different sounds as well, but you want to keep that relaxed feeling there too.

also people tend to get the wrong idea of relaxed, there's "relaxed" where you just fall into habbits, and there's a forced "relax" which is more of a "loosen" than a "relax", but in time it should start to feel the same.

>>7789778
>A lot of the top english vtubers watch and learned from normal streamers and not other vtubers
Please name some because the only ones who fit this description are Vshojo. Hololive and Nijisanji make up the rest of the 'top english vtubers' and they wholly imitate the style of their JP counterparts.

>>7790475
he's saying normal face cammers.
which is dumb because its a different format and audience too.

>>7790613
That's exactly what I said. Where are these top vtubers who are imitating regular streamers besides vshojo?
They aren't growing because the west somehow has a better handle on streaming. They're growing because they, along with the majority of top western streamers, create lowest common denominator reaction content that appeals to the largest possible audience. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's not at all what I'm interested in. I never watched livestreams until vtubing blew up exactly because of this difference in streaming culture. For example: not only the difference in the quality and care that JP vtubers put into their content (It feels more like a planned show than the 'I turn on the camera and shoot the shit' type of stream that westerners typically follow), but also the difference in chat culture, the streamer's engagement with the audience and the boundaries they put into place (feels less like an obnoxious dicksucking contest in chat, besides some superchats), and generally the level of quality and dedication they put towards their stream and 'character'. If my goal was to blow up irrespective of content I make I would follow Ludwig's hours upon hours of advice to a T, but I don't want that. I want to get big through making things I would enjoy watching myself.
>t. sandman

Thoughts on design? Some stuff might still be modified such as the jacket and obviously the colors arn't done, but overall Im satisfied with the design as it is now. Still wanted to get some opinions and feedback though.

>>7790475
Both Gura and Amelia's roommate watched big Twitch content creators. Gura's watched Sykkuno, Timthetatman, michael reeves and a bunch of other OTV members prior to becoming Gura. Amelia was a fan of streamers like Moonmoon. Mori and Cr1tikal are an obvious one and she's admitted it. Imitating the traits from JP that attract weebs is a given but a lot of their humor is no different than larger Twitch streamers.

VShojo fits the bill as well and you'd be surprised how much crossover audience there is between them and even seemingly unrelated streamers that have multiple times their viewership.

>>7790613
It's not a different audience at all, there's been public graphs that show audience similarity who have placed viewer-similarity with OTV members (even before the Scarra collabs), as well as individually popular streamers like hasanabi and sodapoppin.

>>7791763
Tummy tattoo very cute, want this boy to leglock me as I distend his colon with my cream.

>>7791763
I've never been a fan of the spider arm things on anyone and I typically like them. I'd ditch those and find another way to make your silhouette more unique.

>>7791763
He looks like Bennet from Genshin.

>>7791801
I'm not denying that they haven't watched western streamers, that's a given. I'm saying they're not imitating them. I don't think having the same type of humor counts.

>>7791934
I was thinking Jack Spicer

>>7791934
That aside, he looks okay. Not too into his clothes but that's just me.

>>7791763
I would die to be the artist to draw the finished model. It is so cute, I love it.

>>7791865
Imagine the spider legs hugging and holding you tight as that happens.

I got two more views (totalling 3) on my Tsunderia audition… but now they’ve only watched it till a minute in.

When do the analytics update does anyone know? Says I’ve got two views of 0:36 and 1:06 but the other view isn’t listed yet.

>>7791934
I can see the similarities now that you pointed it out haha, I considered maybe changing the hairstyle so possibly that could help
>>7791912
Im kind of neutral on them but my main idea was to have the spider arms go in and out meaning they wouldn't always be visible or stuck to the character.
>>7791982
I'm happy you like it no idea when I actually plan to commission an artist yet, but ive been researching artists recently and I'm open to seeing what your work looks like.

>>7792798
what do the arms add for the viewers?

>>7792869
Imagine.

>>7788853
I miss Mocca...

>>7792869
Truthfully nothing it was just a visual design choice, In a earlier revision I actually did remove the arms but since a lot of people that I showed the design off too ended up liking it better with the arms I ended up keeping them.

>>7792798
This is my most recent art of my character, you can find me as @mad_eris

I know, I know, I’m not the smartest to come out as a /here/ vtuber, lmao.

>>7793028
just keep in mind you're making a design for a streamer and not a cartoon character

>>7785081
They get an informal, verbal, warning ("Yo, [anon], that's a bit weird, keep on topic"); then a second warning (@anon, you're being weird. Stop it); then timedout/banned.

Unless I've had a bad day, then I'll just time them out straight away, and warn chat I'm not in the mood for shenanigans.

>>7792869
I don't know man. You can probably rig it in live2d to give prostate massages just IMAGINE!.

>>7793066
What does anything do for viewers on most designs besides tits or asses? They're part of the fucking character and don't do anything against the design.

>>7793288
>part of the character
but what do they add for the viewers? you're a streamer, not a cartoon character. who cares if you have spider arms on your back. all it does is block part of the screen. anons need to stop trying to design an OC and just go with a humanoid design and start fucking streaming. you aren't making OCs for deviantart, you're making an avatar for streaming

I'm auditioning for a company, but I'm struggling with the Five Minute introduction. It doesn't say for it to be in character and I'm honestly at a loss for what to say. I talk just fine on stream, but I'm not sure what kind of stuff I should say for the Self Intro.

>>7793450
Write a speech for the character/you speaking to an audience about their past, the present, and their hopeful future.

>>7793363
NTA Let me guess, you have a vroid hoodie and jeans character with totally anything remarkable to you. Neat.

>>7793499
stop seething. you're overdesigning something that doesn't add anything positive and only detracts. get rid of those dumb arms.

>>7793489
I was worrying about the intro video I submitted for what I'm guessing is the same audition as the other anon and this helped put my mind to rest, so thank you!

>>7793363
By this logic everything that isn't tight fitting clothing should be avoided because it can block the screen as should big hair or ears, you're thinking way too deep. They also don't always have to be out, and they can be used in an interactive way with automated redeems as a reactive gif instead of actually being part of the avatar itself. My viewers love it when i do shit as simple as take off my glasses and wink. You just need to think deeper than "just stream with a hoodie"

>>7793563
>By this logic
>gets the logic wrong
anon..

>>7791763
I actually dig it. I do question the shonen anime protagonist goggles on head though. I sort of get it for the spider bit but I don't know that the design needs it and the extra smaller lenses just don't make sense.

>>7793363
bro shut the fuck up, Alice Sawyer has her face covered half her streams. by this logic Zylph would be fine if he had an anime boy head half the time which we all know isn't true, don't act like these are concrete rules that need to be followed.

>>7793625
>Alice Sawyer
>by this logic Zylph would be fine

>Zylphe was mute
>Alice talks
anon, your "logic" reps...

>>7793587
I think the traditional shounen protag look is pretty underrated and worth going for just as a breath of fresh air, I've only seen one other person do it. Everyone else is just SAO-style MC with generic short black hair. Won't carry you obviously, but it's something that stands out and people are familiar with.

Bros I'm confused. What does Pekora's carrots in her hair add to the viewer?

I drew a png to stream with.
i kinda scuffed it, but at this point idc.
I'll stream tew this weekend. wish me luck.
will try to talk, but will probably be too much of a spazz to do it.

>>7793066
Definitely noted I actually had a much more complicated design at first but in the end I simplified pretty much everything. I could potentially end up still removing the arms since the design isn't 100 yet anyways but as stated before I had the in and out arms idea as way to appeal to both sides I guess.
>>7793587
Ah yea haha the goggles were actually one of the last things added, Honestly the only purpose of it was just to enhance the spider theme and not make it look too out of place

>>7793528
I am not him, retard. I just have an imagination to work with. Rather than telling him to get rid of those, come up with some ideas or actual suggestions like some other Anon did.

>>7793691
>rabbit themed girl has rabbit theme flairs
?

>>7793692
Better than anything I could draw. What's TEW? Good luck!

>>7793639
People shit on the lack of a face, masks, etc all the time. It isn't only about mutes. My point is that not everything is a set in stone rule. You can make things work if you're able to be creative, and things like that can boost your production value early on.

>>7793695
This is just an autistic aside, but since spiders have 8 eyes, what would it look like if the guy had multiple goggles? One normal pair on his head and two around his neck or something for example, which add up to 8 "eyes" when added to his actual eyes. I think that would be more in theme than just weird goggles. It might look silly actually drawn out though.

>>7793719
>spider-themed character has spider theme flairs
?

>>7793767
the evil within.
beat it awhile back, never finished the dlcs so figured i'd do it again from scratch.

>>7793695
I’d rather work with the jacket to give more volume towards the end, and maybe give the spider arms some nice twist and not only “spider arms”. Get a look at King Raid’s Viska or how she’s called and her skins to get an idea.
Also, the main issue I see on your character is that the design doesn’t give away much on your personality, based on the ripped clothes and goggles I’d say he’s and adventurer/inventor. I’d work a bit more on his concept before thinking more of his appearance.

>>7792798
Oh don't take my comment seriously. I didn't say he looking like Bennet was a bad thing, just that was the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw your design. It's okay to be Bennet.
>>7793288
This anon >>7793363 has a point. It's okay if you want some different traits to your character design, but it's best to not overdo it bo both not block view from the game window when streaming and for it to be more affordable when you commission rigging.

>>7793819
The jacket is actually being modified next so hopefully it might come out better. For the arm's I might actually try your idea I really like viska's spider arms after seeing it and it doesn't look too complicated to do. Last on the concept yea your pretty much right I did the reverse where I was going to fit the concept/theme with the design rather than come up with it first, The design was really just born from stuff I like ryona(bandages,eyebags) spiral eyes, The clothes was partially my idea but mostly my friend who helped me on the design. I had an idea for personality, background but yea I'll admit I didn't think much on it.

Just make the legs a fucking redeem and stop arguing about it holy shit the viewers can decide for themselves if they want to see them shut UP

>>7794179
You... uh... you okay?

>>7794179
this. just take you have right now and start streaming.

>>7794179
Anon-chama, I was serious about your medicines. Go get them now.

>>7794250
>>7794297
you're trying too hard, zylphe

>>7794421
I think Zylphe is that one anon telling everyone to shut up. Some menhera there.

>>7794500
>mute streamer tells everyone else to shut up
kek

>>7794421
It just looked like anon was mad to me. Just wanted to make sure he was alright.

Any tip to choose a name? Was thinkin on using a hispanic name and surname but I dont know if it would be easy to remember for netizens like anglos and japs something like Manuel or Sebastian. My content will be mainly spanish

>>7794800
keep it short
they will use your nickname anyway

>>7794800
Went over this a few threads ago. Have something that can be easy to remember and pronounce. I want with a phonetic word play in Japanese and for a more or less normal name in English that could be translated from said Japanese reading. DeepLalso helped me with that as it inadvertly gave me a pretty good name. That aside
>Spanish audience
Why would you do that to yourself, Anon?

>>7794800
2-3 syllables, do a search on the main social media websites to make sure it's not taken already by a much larger name

>>7794894
Because Im hispanic... also spic audience isnt that bad aside from normies

My voice pitch is on the higher end as a guy. There's a market for that right? I'm considering doing some occasional singing, people have told me they like it before.

>>7795573
Yeah, you're fine. Don't stress too much about your voice. Speaking clearly and confidently is much more important than the range of your voice.

>>7795248
>also spic audience isnt that bad aside from normies

Not my experience AT ALL

>>7795632
I want to get all my favorite LATAMs out of there...

Just did a literal 0-view stream, but I had fun so I'm feeling alright about it. Gotta start somewhere.

>>7795811
Endure the 0 view for a bit. It will train you to handle dead chats.

>>7795811
That's the spirit, anon! If you're not having fun, there's no point, and if you're having fun, you're doing it right! Keep up the good work!

>>7795811
Keep at it anon! Getting stream reps in and learning how to handle no/low view chats is super important.

>>7795632
I'm hispanic too and I agree with >>7795753 >>7795248. Spics are cancer, pollute chat, become cringey and don't even donate that much to compensate for how awful they are as an audience.

>>7796151
Which is worse, Spics or SEA?

I'd want to do multilingual streams with english, spanish, and a sprinkling of french/japanese. Does anyone do that?

>>7796175
They're both bad, which is worse depends on each person but overall they're awful for the reasons mentioned above.

>>7796151
if subaru is pandering to them it means there is money to make
you just lack patience, will power and talent

>>7796238
We've gone this before. they're good for growth and exposure and nothing else.
>there is money to make
yeah when the most an argie can donate is an akasupa of 10 bucks
>you just lack patience, willpower and talent
After witnessing how fucking south chats with spics go when they get in? Yeah who has patience with that.
Also you don't need talent to entertain spics. See: Nimu

>>7796211
It doesn't matter if people do it already, you just need to be entertaining. If you aren't entertaining in any language, no one is going to watch you... but being entertaining in multiple languages is a buff (as long as that language isn't Spanish or French)

>>7793053
Took a look at your profile and I really like your artstyle haha its pretty unique, I gave you a follow.

>>7798101
>French
Are frogs as unbearable as spics, though?
That aside, I was thinking in doing a parody of a hot tub stream with my avatar. Mama made a swimsuit version and I want to use it but given I 'm pretty much a loli I'm worried either YT or Twatch sperg over it and I get banned.

>>7798765
>Are frogs as unbearable as spics, though?
Not by half, but I'd still avoid them since so much of Africa speaks French and is rapidly gaining access to the internet.

>loli hot-tub stream
Make it a kiddy pool and you can pass it off easily, as long as you aren't in a microkini with tan lines in the form of hands grabbing your hips and your string bottom hanging off your leg.

>>7798911
It's a two piece, but the top is long enough to make it look like a full piece.
It's somehing I want to do at some point because vtuber hot tubs are just so funny.

>>7796151
>>7796175
>>7796231
>>7796331
Tbh spics and anglos behave the same
Both refuse to write in the streamers language. Spam overused memes such as juan and honey. Repeat the same phrases like yabe. The diference is the money. But you can get followers that will spend a lot of money. Most SC are sent by the same people instead of a lot of singles sc

>>7799547
At least they don't explode when a country's name is mentioned.

>>7799834
Or avocados.

>>7799867
I must have missed this story. Please explain further.

>>7800035
Spics have a meme war with calling avocados paltas or aguacate and will constantly bait vtubers into dipping in it.

>>7800258
This sounds stupid.

>>7800258
Sounds like a more autistic version of asking whether or not you should ruin a perfectly good pizza.

>>7800307
>>7800321
Because it is. To top that off many act like the simps you'd see in thot tub streams on Twitch and it gets cringey really fast.

alright /asp/ whats your take on #BabyTuber?
on one hand it seems like a good way to get early follows/likes/retweets on the other its FULL of fags and letter people

Have any of you ever attempted to get an artist who did a well known vtuber?

>>7803928
If you're easily triggered you're never going to make it. Give up now.

>>7803928
I'm not into ABDL

I got 3 views on my Tsunderia audition but no email to tell me if I’m rejected or accepted
this is pain
Will try tell me if I’m rejected?

>>7804892
They probably won't tell you if you're rejected

What's a good voice mod? I just need it to pitch my voice down slightly.

>>7806163
Audacity.

>>7806163
Don't

>>7803928
considering the amount of probable pedogroomers from the alphabet community that plague the western vtuber scene I'll stay away from that tag.

>>7806163
Do you need a voice mod if it's just "slightly"? A voice mod will lead to rrats, you know.

>>7806336
Yes.

>>7806369
Trick question, no you don't.

>>7806487
So what's a good one?

>>7806545
A good one is not using one.

>>7806545
There is no voice mod that will be undetectable. Voice acting is just a better solution.

>>7806615
and the good to use, what is it?

>>7806702
The good one to use is your own voice. Why do you even want to make it lower?

>>7806702
Why are you so insistent on making yourself sound worse? There is no good one, if you’re that uncomfortable with your own voice don’t stream.

greetings, fellas. i just started streaming a week ago and got some complaints about shitty mic audio. I watched my vod and god was the mic quality bad

My question is, im trying to upgrade to a better mic. I did some research and found that (to me), the Razer Seiren Mini is the cheapest decent quality mic. Anyone here has a Razer Seiren Mini? Can you send a vocaroo so I can hear how good the mic sounds

>>7807363
and if anyone has a cheaper but still good mic, can you send me a vocaroo and the brand? I'm kinda working on a budget here

>>7807324
>>7807041
I'd like to see how it sounds first.

So, what's a good one?

>>7803928
>BabyTuber
Do I want to know what this is about?
>>7804030
You can get any artist provided you are willing to shell out lots of cash. That, and said artist having commissions open of course.

What is the best time to post on the Vtuber subreddit for exposure? I heard that the algorithm for exposure there is a bit weird.

>>7807409
Shut the fuck up faggot

>>7807605
Cope and seethe.

>>7807409
dude, i think you're better off being confident with your own voice for now

>>7807363
>>7807402
There's a fan and fountain going in the background, so the default noise cancellation on this is decent. At least, I'd consider it listenable. Use a compressor, noise gate, noise suppression, and limiter to make the audio sound better (I am not gonna bother).

>Ask question
>SHUT UP FAGGOT
>Haha, no
>HURR HURR YOU'RE JUST PRETENDING TO BE RETARDED HURR HURR HURR

Cope and Seethe.

>>7807685
I'm confident with my voice, it's just not -quite- what I wanted for the character.

>>7807773
You asked the question 4 times and were answered each time. Please kill yourself.

>>7807712
this sounds only slightly better than my current mic but thanks for the suggestion

>>7804892
Anon... considering they're already interviewing candidates, you've probably been rejected.

>>7807816
You didn't answer though. If you weren't going to answer, why bother responding? Unless you were hoping to bait, but in the end you're here coping and seething, anon.

>>7807891
The answer is that there is no good voicemod. Read between the lines.

>>7807840
Save up for an AT2020 or SM58 then, $100 each. I doubt the quality in a $50 mic is gonna be significantly better than what you heard from my $20 one.

>>7807914
Yeah but what's a good one?

>>7807891
The only one coping and seething here is you. Shut the fuck up, insecure faggot.

>>7807953
The streaming app literally called voicemod is probably what you're asking for. Good luck though. It's not worth it.

>>7807956
Seething you can't cope, I see.

>>7807974
Yeah I've been fiddling with it for about 30 minutes now.

>it slowly sinks in to anon that there is no good voicemod

>>7808252
you know he's going to cope harder and claim that /asp/ is holding back on him and not telling him the name of the REAL voice changer program that works 100% perfectly

I got views on my application videos to a small company. It's a small victory but I still feel happy.

>>7807402
Get a snowball mic and arm for it and put foam up and sound treat your room. Sound treatment can make a 50 dollar mic sound like a 200 dollar mic. Can make a 200 dollar mic sound like a 1k one.

If you have fan noise move your pc across the room and try to block it off.

>>7808252
This truly is a thread for the NGMI.

>>7806163
Screaming bee. All of the options will sound modulated if you go too hard on it, though.

If you're open to it it's better to train your voice. It'll sound unnatural at first but the more practice you get the better it'll sound. Don't be afraid to copy vocal mannerisms instead of tone if you're naturally higher pitched and have trouble hitting deeper tones if the character you're set on creating is older/deeper voiced. A lot of high pitched voice actors and actresses can get an older more mature sound from mannerisms alone. (Good male example is Kazuya Nakai. High pitched as shit but gets a ton of older male roles and tough guys, a lot of people even say he has a low voice they associate him so much with it)

>>7809218
Thank you for some actual fucking advice my dude.

>>7809419
No problem, man. I have a super high pitched natural speaking voice and didn't get good with more mature ones for awhile so I know the struggle. It'll come easier the more you practice and experiment.

>>7803928
It came from the "vTuber Boot Camp" discord group, ran by a transman playing a grandfather, transwoman playing a yandere alien, Bri'ish man playing an army officer, and some silent person on hiatus. No problem with the 'head table', and I guess the idea is nice.

The tag is "supposed" to be used by streamers with less than 500 twitch and/or twitter followers, so that the mods, 'head table', and other streamers of the group can find and promote smaller streamers. And it kind of works. But there's very definitely circlejerking going on - check out which users get promoted, and it's ones that do promoting of others. Fair enough, except it means that they're all just promoting to each other, which doesn't help at all, and just clogs up twitter and twitch feeds.

The other problem is the alphabet soup that's the rest of the discord. Around 2 in 5 of the streamers there are some form of GBT+, and the others have some form of menhera (I include myself in this). I have literally seen people complain in the discord because a picture "looked like a spider, so needs to be tagged with a trigger warning and spoilered", because they have PTSD.

From spiders.

>>7784904
I've been doing art streams (and very rare game streams) for a while but voice only and my viewers kept pushing me to start as a vtuber. So I'm thinking about making one for myself and 'upgrade' my current streaming setup with an avatar or should I create a whole new account/name for that?

>>7810556
If you’ve already got an audience and you don’t have any particular qualms about being associated with your “past life” then don’t bother with new accounts IMO. Unless you’ve, like, full face-doxxed yourself on your current accounts. But if you’ve done that you should probably clean those accounts up regardless.

Just passing by to tell all of you that you are all GMI as long as you have fun.

>>7810624
The only thing that might be problematic is that I made art for this place. But I think you're right, I just keep things as they are, it's not like I'll be one of those big names anyway.

>>7810258
Why are trans people so insanely over represented as mods? Discord especially I’ve found but other platforms too. Is it intentional or are alphabet peoples just terminally online?

>>7811044
Trannies stay on the internet more often and use every attempt to gain power.

>>7811044
1 - because those who make it a core part of their identity will not have many IRL people who interact with them, so they end up online, and forming 'friendships' with each other, as being trans is WHO THEY ARE.
2 - from being online all the time, they're overrepresented. They also do more support groups, because they need it
3 - Affirmative Action. If you have a trans apply for the mod position and they don't get it, you're gonna need a good explanation or they'll start crying to the mob.

>>7811044
It’s confirmation bias bro. “

>>7811044
I listened to a podcast on it once actually. On reddit at least the thing was trans people would find job openings at reddit and mod openings on subreddits they didn't approve of then pretend to be friendly and agree with their ideologies and apply. Once in there they'd slowly force out more and more people from inactivity or just asking for more power until they had enough control to boot the others. I imagine it happens in a lot of communities.

>>7804892
I got 4 on mine and nothing either. Thought I had a good chance but when they said they got 500 applications, I got a lot less optimistic.

>>7791763

>>7809419
It's more than you deserve for sperging out, for sure

Got 3 new followers today from new people who were active in chat. Feel good about that, just remember /asp/ even if you consciously know you're ngmi, that doesn't mean you can't have a lot of fun along the way!

Is a commissioned VRoid avatar a good place to start for a debut? Been using PNGs this far.

Catpeople but you're just a human with ears
That one catperson from here who does exercise VR on stream's alright, they can stay

>>7821247
None if them. There will always be random anime [animal] girl that inclines and gets big. Stop over thinking

>>7821247
What does avoiding these "over filled character niches" accomplish? What do you gain by doing this?

My mom is going on a trip this monday and i was planning on making my first test stream that day. I hope i can finish rigging my model by then.

>>7806163
I don't really know why people are being such assholes to you lmao it's really not a big deal and if it makes you feel more comfortable and confident in your streaming who cares?

>>7821828
yikes

>>7822094
>who cares?
viewers care. /asp/ has seen several vtubers who put on a voice changer and it sounds like nails on a chalkboard. you don't think it's bad but it is. >we are only telling you to avoid shit because it turns off viewers. unless you're rich and can ride meme clout, you're shooting yourself in the foot.

>>7822257
I don't want her to enter while i am streaming screaming "ANON YOUR CHICKEN TENDIES ARE READY COME GET EM!!!". South american moms are very noisy and obtrusive

Set up a text source that says "sorry - muting temporarily" and your mic to be hotkeyed to the same button (I use alt+m); and make sure your text is in each scene, and you're not in studio mode.

If you have mic on and text off, then hitting your 'panic button' will mute your mic input, but also pop the text up. If you wanted to, you could see about linking it to a sound effect as well, just for the lulz

Anyone got good voice acting resources, focused more on the way people talk / enunciate words to give off certain character vibes or accents.
For example, I'm wanting to give a more ethereal voice to a character but doing it on my own is turning it more into a lisping or melodic sound which isn't giving off the vibe I want.

I could just copy other people, but that's putting the cart before the horse.

>>7826406
https://iwanttobeavoiceactor.com/practice-readings/

>>7822094
It is a big deal. It'll filter most people because no one likes a shitty voice changer no matter how "good" you think the settings are. People here don't like when other set themselves up for failure for no real reason.

>>7791763
Those goggles are really nice, simple but they carry the spider theme along easily. My suggestion would be to think of what type of material/fabric you have in mind for the outfit. Giving the jacket a more rugged texture to fit the torn quality it has might get the idea across more. I would add seams to the shorts too since that will help get the material and style across as well.

99% of a good sounding voice is just speaking with confidence. Just be confident and you'll sound good.
>but I don't have confidence!
you don't need to be a chad or even actually have confidence, its mostly a mechanical thing by speaking louder and more clear and not being a pussy faggot.

I'm planning doing an introduction video for YouTube but I was wondering What info should I need to include besides of the basics? (chuuba's name, likes and dislikes, what content you do and etc)
Also what can I do to not sound cringey or awkward?

>>7821247
Just design a character you like and get a decent artist. Don't worry about it a ton. Standing out isn't as important as being charismatic and friendly.

>>7826406
Copying other people is fine. If they're in media they've trained enough to have good vocal practices so you'll end up learning from them. Try to find characters/people that have the archetype/voice you want and watch them. Then get a book or comic or whatever you read out and try to practice in that voice out loud as you read it. Try to relax and match the energy and cadence at first and the highs and lows of the voice and get involved in the character. Try to avoid shitty thoughts and just enjoy it. You can create a character of your own if you just take a little of someone else's work as inspiration. It won't be a one for one at all but you'll retain some of the energy you want.

>>7791763
where does he shoot the webs from asking for research purposes

Do any of you fags have any actual skills that could hopefully escalate your chances of securing a decent viewer rate, or are you just going to be like all the other aspiring twitch /wvt/ losers, resulting to nothing more than constant shilling attempts and left hoping for some bored viewers to wander into your stream by chance?
They are so many people who are left praying that they just get picked up, and it's pretty sad. A lot of indie vtubers seem pretty delusional, especially the male ones. I hope you're not like that.

>>7791763
this looks like cringe a 12 year old chuuni loser would draw

absolutely pathetic self plug to fish for commissions

>>7831850
Nothing I could do on stream sadly.
One of these days I'll do THAT on stream though and I'm sure it'll get me lots of viewers.

>>7831850
Yeah

>>7832158
But THAT is illegal, anon!

>>7831850
>Do any of you fags have any actual skills that could hopefully escalate your chances of securing a decent viewer rate

Nope. They wouldn't be posting here if they did. /wvt/ and /asp/ies that graduated to it mostly just shuffle around the same 30 viewers or so. Some of them manage to get their own audience, but for the most part its just trash and people watch specifically because "UOOOOOOOOH THEY'RE /here/!"

>>7831850
I have a lot of connections and experience that have been helpful. Its hard to network as a vtuber alone but easy to network doing literally anything else online. If you can draw make some free assets and fanart. If you're a voice actor do some comic meme dubs. If you're can write do some short fanfiction for something popular but overlooked. The more popular you get on that front the more people will reach out to you and help you with your other career goals like streaming. Ask the big ones you end up talking to to promo you a few times and help them with their stuff when they need help.

If you're shit at everything start working to get better. Just relax when you aren't as good as the best of the best and enjoy creating whatever it is you make. Best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. Second best time is today.

A lot of you guys seem to really hate yourselves here. You might make some people really enjoy don't give up. Maybe don't aim to be a 10k viewer person from the start but have fun every step of the way and you'll be happier at least.

>>7831850

How are the anons who applied to Niji feeling today? Got any of that hope left in you?

>>7841304
I got accepted,
I'll drop a reference to eggs

>>7841304
Male or female? Coz the male auditions ended less than 2 weeks ago. I'd give it 2 more weeks.

>>7791763
How does he shot web though

>>7841904
Either or. I'm just putting out a general pulse check.

>>7842175

Alrighty grandpa, it's time to take your pills. I made you some oatmeal with the sliced bananas just like grandma used to.

>>7839223
I'm not sure what's worse, the hole, or the slight moustache

>>7842235
From what I hear from the females, a lot of them haven't received views or emails. That tells me that Nijisanji isn't looking at all the applications. Which makes me think there might be some kind of automatic? screening process. Probably the social follower count. Which is very depressing. But it's their money, I guess they want to make the most of it and play safe.

Painful protip: don't stream complex games if you are going into them blind.

>>7842793
Complex in what way?

>>7843060
Complex like Armored Core, where your mech a dozen parts and each part has a dozen stats...

>>7842793
I'm just gonna yolo this shit lmao

>>7843290
Bro just shoot the other robots. It's ez.

>>7842385
>That tells me Nijisanji isn't looking at all the applications.

Not necessarily, they're just not going beyond the written part for most. Doesn't mean they're using an automated system, though I wouldn't be surprised.

I doubt they have an automatic system looking at the numbers only. You can't measure it only quantitavely. For example you could have someone who only has a Twitch channel with 5k followers, but every other field would have been left at 0, which would immediately disqualify them which obviously wouldn't be fair.

I think they're looking at the numbers for sure but it also needs to be assessed qualitatively and case-by-case.

>>7843830
>not going beyond the written part
Sad if true. Put more effort into my video than the written portion.

The worst part of applying early to something is having to wait longer for the results.

>>7844017
It's okay anon. I put autistic effort into both and still have no views. I do just want them to watch the video though. I don't really mind if I get an email after that or not but I want some dummy at a desk to look at what I made.

>>7788654
Who cares about schizo troon? this is /asp/ not /pol/ go obsess somewhere else.

>>7844211
Kek. Plan on making it public when auditions are over?

>>7843830
They can afford to disqualify lots of people based on numbers at this stage. They need each person coming into EN to be able to pull better and better numbers. Wave 1 Part 1 was an experiment, now it's business.

>>7844602
Might be a good subs goal as an indie or something.

>>7845013
That's actually a good idea.

>>7844769
To be fair, now I assume they'll start going with their JP formula which is just shotgun everything and get as wide of a variety as possible.
I imagine they'll still want numbers and proof of your commitment, but in the upcoming waves I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing some dark horses show up.

>>7845107
One can h(c)ope.

Having menhera moments sucks. It's going to pass but the feelings are still here. Can't wait for tonight to be be over.

>>7844769
It's probably the contrary, actually. Wave 1 is playing it safe to establish the EN division well, and the risk-taking comes later.

The male wave is still the first of its type so this may not apply to them.

>>7831850
My only redeeming skill is singing, so I'm going in on that

>>7845660
Any particular cause or is it just a "The universe sucks and we're all gonna just die anyway" spell?

>>7841304
i've moved on, next audition ill just shill out my writing skills, and actually try to tell a story to space the five minutes out. at least with wosemi, I know they aren't filtering by accent/speech difficulties i guess.

>>7814701
Keep coping, vtweeter. Neeneer Neeneer Neeeeneer!

>>7821247
While I like your way of thinking, remember the major key part of any vtuber is the person behind the character. Kizuna is just "girl" for fuck's sake. You can take a common theme and give it something that might make it pop but at the same time, relying too heavily on the novelty of your character could put you in a corner in the long run.

>>7822094
>I don't really know why people are being such assholes to you

I mean, where do you think we are? I've been on this fucking site for 15 years. I got a much more friendly response than what I was expecting. Despite what I said, I'm not even deadset on it, I just wanted to test it out, even if the local lads were ree'ing and telling me not to. You have to learn when advice is worth taking and when it's not.

>>7845824
Everything leads back to contempt for existence itself, but mostly just unhappy with my present ability as a streamer, despite knowing I'll improve with practice.

>>7844769
it's still strange though, since on paper, I should have atleast gotten a view since i have over 10k on twitch, and over 3k on twitter, and my skill sets and ideas i wrote about seem on par with what Niji usually leans towards. Guess they wanted something super specific for ghost girl

>>7846439
You probably don't suck. Good luck.

>>7846601
Maybe you were overqualified and scared them off.

>>7846601
How recent are these numbers and what content did you make

>>7846601
Sorry dood. I got the part thanks to my manager putting me for it.
My VA career was dying ever since they took me from my main role of voice prinnys. Shit major sucks dood. But at least I'm in nijisanji, sorry you kinda got screwed over though.

Many of you have been very encouraging and supportive lately. Thanks for helping lift my mood up a bit, anon-tachi.

>>7846783
these are current numbers, grown over like a year of content, don't really wanna dox myself, but I already do vtuber content, and asmr stuff too

>>7847481
>dox yourself
does you account have face stuff going on or are you just afraid of selfposting your vtuber account because if it's the latter then literally no one cares
people like leaflit selfpost in /wvt/ just fine

>>7847481
Is there a reason you want to be a 2434 outside of the numbers boost? It sounds like you're on the way up on your own.

>>7847573
Dunno about EN. But record deals and sponsorships and potential for concerts and easy collabs with japanese vtubers would be a big one I'd assume.
Indies might be easier to do and you'll "make jt" just fine. But branching out into the bigger entertainment world at whole is far harder without backing, and niji provides that.

>>7847569
no face stuff, but theres some vtubers/ youtubers I collab with that hate 4chan, and I'd rather avoid that drama

>>7847573
I just love nijisanij, always have. I didn't go for round one since I wasn't as big as sachi at the time (seeing how she was the smallest one holo picked up). But now that I have more to show for it, I'm trying it out

>>7842793
This. I spent 8.5 hours trying to beat the last ten levels of a very difficult Doom 2 megawad I've been playing blind from UV pistol start on stream earlier this week, and let me tell you, it was painful. I still have 3 levels left and now I have to sing Nickelback karaoke as a punishment for dying 500+ times.

>>7847867
Not to mention the merchandise

>>7848569
Merch is relatively easy to do even as an indie.
Making shirts is piss easy. Getting it correctly QCed and distributed on time can be harder but I could literally do that at home considering indie merchandise numbers (few hundred sales max)
Smaller merch would be even easier.

It's working with other businesses that is important. Niji has clout so companies will go to them directly. Indies don't so at most they'll get small time stuff like stream drops and shit.

Streaming non-vidya game stuff over the past two weeks hasn't really changed anything for me so I think I'll go back to streaming games as I'm interested in just playing a bunch of old RPGs

>>7848919
The best things to stream are things you enjoy. Go for it, anon!

>>7846877
nta but thanks for confirming that as the person who got in as the ghost, you're only in through connections. not a bad thing, just hilarious. good luck and i hope you have fun in niji though! do you know if the other roles were already chosen for too?

>>7850542
Yes. The sad truth is there was never an audition. It was just a PR stunt to generate hype.
Most the girls picked were taken from the indie twitch scene and 1 from a smaller company.

1 of the girls is actually voiced by a dude but even her past life nobody knew so I guess it's okay. Not gonna spill the beans because he's kinda cool outside the cringe factor.

>>7850669
What about the dudes though, bro? Are Markiplier and Vinny Vinesauce getting in?

>>7821247
None of them. Take a concept you like and run with it. I had to settle with a pre-made model with a very overdone theme, but it has grown on me and Iplan tostick with it.
>>7822429
>>7823146
I know that pain very well, anon. I told my mom about this stuff and she tells me to give her a set schedule for her to not scream about lunch or watching her Turkish sappy novelas with the TV at full volume. I was very clear that I would not have a set schedule and all she had to was not being noisy, but that concept is lost to spic moms.
>>7847931
>vtubers/ youtubers I collab with that hate 4chan
Alphabet people, I see.

>>7850669
thanks for the answer! but welp, that sucks, glad to know auditioning was pointless in the end if you aren't popular. if you don't mind me asking, how popular were the indies though? 2k followers level or? just curious, so other anons can at least hope to reach it, and have a higher chance at passing next time.

>>7851405
Is this reverse bait or are you actually this gullible?

>>7851545
if you feel the need to ask that, then you know the answer.

Asked this in /wvt/ but how do you guys feel when viewers flirt with you?

>>7853828
cringe

>>7850874
>HE'S IN

>>7853828
Flirt how? Like a single compliment in a supa or a string of weird stuff?

>>7853828
m*le here, never gonna happen

>>7846601
Being ghost is suffering... I check every day or so but nothing.

Maybe there was a dispute with the artist or something so they can't use the design any longer. Shouldn't stop them from checking people out though

>>7854620
Even if the earlier person was a LARP, I'm 90% sure they pre-picked like they said. It wouldn't surprise me at all.
