/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

Anybody know a good place to find vocaloid sheet music? Musescore isn’t giving me anything for stuff like Autophagy.

How can I improve my mic quality? I’ve heard you can do something in OBS. My voice sounds a bit lighter than it actually is, and farther away. It’s a $50 Blue Ice mic

I'm getting started on the journey now. Anyone know an eng vtuber who clearly started from square one so I can watch their come up?
You can post yourself I don't mind.
Picrel I'm gonna make it brah

>>8068107
You get a (YOU) Just for the Diva post. And where the hell is the Chicken?

>>8068107
Don't forget by the way

>>8068244
In the doorframe, anon.

>>8068327
This is a splendid channel. I also like the picture you posted. Thank you!

>>8068107
What does square one mean?

>>8069686
I imagine... static avatar, suboptimal audio/streaming setup, clearly doing something like this for the first time. I'm not asking "who had the hardest start of all indie vtubers" but...
I'm contrasting it against people who... were clearly professional entertainers before they started being a vtuber, are beginning with a lot of resources, are members of a network of other vtubers who are propping them up as they are starting.
I want to see someone struggle because I am going to similarly struggle. If you see a fish swim, you might say "it's a fish ofc it can swim. I am a fish too" and jump right in. I am no fish but I will swim.
Picrel if you eat a fish you gain their powers

>>8067410
Following filter order in OBS:
Adjust gain on mic until you are in the high green/yellow on your interface
Noise gate high enough to stop pops and taps from keyboard but not enough to cut off speech
EQ with gentle roll offs in highs and lows
Compressor with threshold set about 6db under your peak and high ratio with fast attack/release
De-esser just enough to calm down S sounds, but not so much it makes you sound lispy
Limiter at -6db because that’s where OBS starts actually clipping audio
GLHF

>>8067410
Also for extra points set up compressor on your game audio source/BGM, set it to sidechain mode with threshold around -12db or so and have your vocal track be the sidechain input

I've got a bunch of story games that I want to play on stream, but I feel I should save them for when I actually have an audience to enjoy them with.
Is this the right mentality to have?

>>8070691
No, play what you want or you'll be shoehorned into a niche you hate

Watching how the new EN Gen 2 gained 130k overnight bums me out, I can barely get a few likes on anything.
I don’t blame them at all, it’s just makes me feel burned out, like my effort is worth nothing.

>>8070785

It sounds like you’re doing it for the wrong reasons.

>>8070785
EN Gen 2 has hololive to advertise for it and build up hype, an already established fanbase, a massive twitter following of individual idols that can be used to advertise it, reddit pages, etc.
You do not have such things.

Do not get yourself down by comparing yourself to something that has been built up over many years when you yourself are only just starting.
Compare yourself to how you were yesterday, and see how you've grown and could grow.

>>8070785
>like my effort is worth nothing
Brainlet take. It isn't like those girls just randomly got in for zero reason. They had to put effort into whatever shit got them chosen too

>>8070785
>>8070785
I see where they're coming from. I'm not a vtuber (I did apply for a few things however) but I've made content for years. Not getting views or followers sucks, since ultimately you want feedback and eyes on your work. Self fulfilment can only go so far when you want to improve and show the world what you're doing.

Do you think HoloES will ever happen? I don't think i could ever get into HoloEN but i would love to try for HoloES if it ever happens.

bump

I'll give an additional advice, make a tiktok account, that shit app start spamming vtuber content to everyone after they see something japan related

>>8070785
Hololive was built up from Sora streaming to less than 10 viewers a few years ago. This is why joining companies help a lot because the more genmates you have the more you can help carry each other in order to rise above.

>>8070785
>Watching how the new EN Gen 2 gained 130k overnight bums me out
Create your own vtuber company

>>8071140
>Do you think HoloES will ever happen?
If they can get a successful Gen0 then theyll open up one

>>8074729
They seem to already be trying with Ame and Coco(RIP).

>wanting HoloES
>wanting the cringe ass spic audience that doesn't even compensate how painful they are with supas
>wanting menhera
Hispanic women are giant dramawhores and it would be a mater of seconds that some shit coming from a HoloES comes up. Then there's regular dramawhore menheras that may apply, because you just know Nimu will jump in a HoloES is announced.
t.spic

>>8071140
Holo? probably not.
Niji? maybe?
>>8070785
they put in their content reps and provided a competitive portfolio of work to beat out the rest of the people who applied for auditions. you're not gonna see that.

>>8075612
I mean, indos are equally poor and annoying and there you have HoloID. Also, someone like Nimu wouldn't pass, she has no talents.

>>8075612
segregate them over to twitch
problem solved

>>8070785
They had to gain followers and build themselves up to get there. Cover didnt just hire talentless nobodies. They grew and audience first. That's just how it works.

>>8077348
The key here is if indos still donate more than spics themselves, which would make a hypothetical HoloES possible. WACTOR girls, particularly Hina, seem to be doing okay but one has to wonder if that's good enough for Cover to consider an ES branch.
Nimu has no talents but she has numbers so who knows. Ultimately I think the drama could deter Cover.
>>8077454
Twitch is where most of the Spanish-speaking audience dwells, WACTOR noticed and their girls are starting to stream there. Segregating HoloES to Twitch wouldn't be that crazy of an idea, as Twitch itself is untapped territory, vshojo aside.

>>8070785
>>8070962
>>8070989
>>8071040

>>8077721
I feel like the problem with the Wactor girls(except Hina) it's how bad their Spanish is. What's the point of having an ES branch if the talents can't interact with the audience.

>>8071140
I would prefer doing streams or content being indie or at my own pace and with muh rulz, I dont like too much Hololive restrictions idk about Nijisanji, maybe both will be interesting to see it happen.
T. Broken english spic

>>8077937
To be fair, people will be generally appreciative of art even if you're still in the growing stage. I could post my art here for free and people would enjoy it well enough even if its not for profit.
It gives you something to work toward and improve and gives you that positive reinforcement.

Streaming for 0 viewers is extremely hard because its hard to actually talk to yourself, so the very process of streaming is tedious. And you're also not getting any positive reinforcements. Plus its harder to look at yourself and improve because watching your past streams are a big time investment while looking at your old art just makes you cringe in 10 seconds.

>>8077937
>was rich enough to just hire artists and storyboarders to rehash old windows explorer is old meme
>lol just don't worry about it, you'll make it someday too
>5 years

>>8077944
They're learning Spanish and that's part of the char, plus they're getting used to spic memes which helps them connect with people. Give them some time for their Spanish to improve. I feel bad about Kurari Rose, though, she's was sad she couldn't communicate better with her audience and her Spanish learning is kinda slow.
>>8077974
Niji is much more lax about rules. They mostly let their talents do what they like. While joining Hololive would be insane, their standards bar is way too high on top of having some limitations in terms of collabs and games they can play (FromSoftt still NTRs Calli from streaming DS/BB). Nijisanji or being indie is the best place for me.
>>8077937
>>8078076
>my comics
>just writes them
>actual artists get barely anything from him

>>8070524
For the noise gate, what do the options do? The open/close threshold, etc. What's an EQ? It seems to be a plugin, though I don't know which would work or where to get one. I also can't find the de-esser in the filter options

>>8068327
The first Twitch payout I'll get will be used for chicken subs.

you guys really go out of your way to hate this dude. He's an untalented hack but some of your takes are retarded

>>8078076
>rich
you realize that it doesn't cost nearly as much as you think it does starting out, right?

>5 years
I mean yeah, not everyone explodes over night the way some indies do. Look at the big streamers today, they've all been streaming for years to get to the point they're at, and that's without the type of hype that vtubers get. How long has Iron Mouse been streaming or creating content again? Zentreya? Nyanners? Some people incline seemingly overnight but it's not the rule at all.

>>8078445
>just writes them
Another retarded gripe. Almost all comics have writers that aren't the artist. I'd get shitting on him for rehashing memes but you clearly don't know much about artists, storyboarding, or anything of the sort

>>8081358
>you realize that it doesn't cost nearly as much as you think it does starting out, right?
back when he started in 2014 and people didn't care much about it. not anymore.

What the fuck is tranny voice?
I have a feeling people are going to assume that's what I sound like, but I'm not entirely sure what it is. But I have autism voice.

>>8084536
A voice that sounds like it's being forced to be more feminine or masculine than it actually is.

>>8083838
if anything connections with artists are far more important, but you can still find smaller artists (which some of those people back then were) for this kind of thing. It's just not an "original" idea any more so the success it'd have isn't nearly as likely.

>>8084897
Every vtuber puts on a voice though?

>>8084536
Have you seriously not heard a man try and sound like a woman? It's pretty noticable.
The other way around is a lot easier to pass off though. Women voice act young male roles all the time.

>>8084897
>>8085398
Touch some grass.

>>8085496
also unrelated but what does touching grass mean? is it a normie term that got brought in or is it vtuber specific?
I'm assuming it means go outside and be a normie, but I'm not entirely sure if I follow. If I tell my boss to touch grass will he know from wherein I came from?

>>8084536
usually its assholes who hear a girl who doesnt have a forced anime waifu loli voice and has a raspy/lower voice

and this is coming from a girl who actually has a naturally high pitched voice (thanks autism) like forreal i wouldnt worry about it twitch/youtube are a lot nicer than you think

>>8085611
Why would you tell the person paying you to get a grip? You don't work for a living anon?

>>8086441
Its just bants bruh.
we talk about loli anime together.

>>8086781
fucking zoomers

>>8085496
Are you implying men and women sound alike?

>>8077937
He's right but he's also the last person who should be telling that to people.

recently I have been enjoying designing vtubers more than actually drawing something idk why

>>8087554
No but there's a wide range of 'normal' voices for both where pitch will often overlap even if cadence has trend.
I work with some shota sounding mother fuckers and they're 30+

>>8085611
>>8085496
It's just a variation of "go outside" "get out more" etc. Trannys adopted it because they don't have any counterarguments or even any witty jokes so they run that into the ground instead.

>>8088482
>tranny boogeyman
touch grass.

How much does having a past life (topped at 700 during a raid, presently around 150 relatively consistently) help with making it through auditions vs not whiffing the intro video itseld?

>>8088570
Tada!

>>8088675
Depends where you're applying.
But it certainly doesn't hurt, and more importantly (assuming they see it) it tells them you have experience and are capable of holding a good sized audience.

Intro video is just making sure you're not a charisma blackhole.

>>8085611
> also unrelated but what does touching grass mean?
It's a means for people to feign disinterest about something they care about a lot.
It's a new version of the good old WOW YOU GIVE A SHIT YOU MUST BE A VIRGIN LOL, i.e a personal insult of the person's societal rank in absence of more substantial arguments.

>>8088359
Okay, but how many can sound like women without strain? And how much of that is the exception instead of the rule?
Just because you don't like reality doesn't mean it's wrong, it's hard for most people to sound like the other sex, especially men for women.

>>8089195
https://www.twitch.tv/apricot
so which one is the tranny anon?

>>8089195
>without strain
you have no idea how voices work

>>8088675
It's probably more important than the intro video itself if we're being honest. Numbers speak.

>>8088675
Numbers are more important than the video in all honesty.

>>8088675
>150
If you get 150 you're bigger than most of PRISM and all of Phase-Connect.
No idea about Vshoujo because I don't like Twitch. They better beg.

>>8090949
150 on twitch isn't as big of a deal, everyone gets a huge boost on twitch.
even tsunderia girls get 100-300 viewers on twitch when they hang around 50-150 on youtube. I think I saw yuuna at 500 the other day on it.

vshojo gets close to the 3-10k range.

>>8091197
Well correction, 150 is still great for a small streamer/indie.
But its not beating out the smaller companies yet when you take the youtube debuff/number fuckery into account.

>>8091197
I wouldn't know and they didn't say where they stream. Good to know I guess.

>>8091197
The only person regularly getting more than a hundred viewers from Tsunderia on Twitch is Yuuna. and that's no doubt at least partially due to being on Twitch as her primary platform. I know people don't like to admit it but it's unironically the better platform for vtubers that aren't in massive groups like Holo or Niji. Then again, one of Nijis' best streams was the time they were forced to be on Twitch.

>>8091762
They did mention a raid, anon. Pretty sure that's not a youtube thing.
Maybe they're a based hitbox.tv streamer though.

>>8091966
>tfw twitch doesn't work on my wageslave device but youtube does
Sorry indies

>>8091979
Good point.
>>8092383
Yes that's a huge reason I don't like it. And even on a regular PC it'll just randomly melt down.
Plus the design is ugly.

>>8093161
I hear this a lot and it's weird because Youtube (specifically livestreams, chat, emotes, superchat, and membership menu" fuck up and lag out my whole browser sometimes.

>>8087554
>>8088359
>>8089195
There's a guy called VRTrapman, he puts a very convincing female and loli voices. If you want more examples, in latin american dubs women often voice children/teenagers. A notable case is Isabel Martiñon, Naruto's dub voice, since she kept dubbing him even in Shippuden because she can still sound like a teenager/young man.

>>8095095
Yes, female VAs can sound like young men. There are many examples of such in almost all languages.Trying to go any deeper tends to be harder to do convincingly though. Alternatively you very rarely see men performing little girls or women at all because it's much much harder to do without it sounding like a joke. People seem to want to fight on the point of generality with specifics.

>>8096030
Its more because women voicing kids is generally accepted and easier. And hiring men to voice women is mostly pointless in the first place. Why hire a man to voice a woman when you could hire a woman to do the same job more consistently and probably cheaper?
Naturally most men don't have a reason to bother learning how to do it either. The point of arguing with specifics is to show its possible and that men who bother learning how to do it can do it convincingly.

Saying "generally" doesn't mean anything because "generally" speaking the populace at large doesn't know how to do any specific skillset, it doesn't mean its not possible to do them. "Generally speaking" people can't draw anime girls for shit, but anyone who spends a year practicing drawing can easily learn to do it.

>>8096709
>Its more because women voicing kids is generally accepted and easier.
Did you just agree with me and then pretend you didn't? Or are you stuck on the fact I said young boys specifically? There are some men who can do young boy voices too, but it's harder to do girls and young girls.
It's hard for men to sound like women, most can't. Most who try don't do well. That's literally the entire point of the discussion. Not that "well, after a lot of practice, some can.". That's not relevant.
"What is a tranny voice?" "Someone who doesn't actually sound like the sex they are trying to portray. It's harder for men than women." "Well X can sound like the other gender." "Most can't." "But X can!"

>wants to do a meme involving a sex joke with "breed me"
>scared because I'm a loli vtuber and those are pretty much barred from making any slightly sexual innuendo
I want to crack some jokes that are more on the Melody's-other-job territory but this fucking idea that lolitubers must remain pretty much family-friendly irks me. I use a loli avatar because it's cute, it has a very good quality and is free. also if I'm being honest I qualify as a lolibaba.

>>8099832
>loli vtuber
>pure
Please we all know you're all fetishfags.

>>8099832
stop caring what people think, that's all you have to do. Do you really think you'd lose viewers or potential viewers by doing this? Do you actually think anyone who was ever going to watch you fucking cares? The type to complain about lolis doesnt watch vtubers who arent sjws to begin with because the people who complain the most are other 2views, no one loses viewers over this shit

>>8100510
The problem comes when those people stirr up drama. It's not so much of them being potential viewers, it's more like she shitstorm they cause will likely scare other people from watching you.
>>8100432
Skeletons in the closet and all that, but go figure not even pointing at their hypocrisy seems to do anything anymore.

>>8099832
all the popular lolitubers crack sex jones they're extremely popular when clippers put in the title out of context to them.
As long as you make it once in a while and dont make it your main personality you'll be fine.

>>8100754
Shitstorms bring in viewers, they don't repel them. Kyuotto had 500+ at her debut, she was just boring with a shitty voice.

>>8099832
>Spoiler
Based 2000 year old shitposter

>>8099832
Add some oppais to your loli... maybe could help.

>>8100802
I don't plan on going over poopoopeepee jokes or sex topics often in zatsudans; for those I want to focus on more conventional topics. I want to focus on games and other interests.
>>8100882
>she was just boring with a shitty voice
This is an actual concern I have. My voice clearly doesn't match my model so I'm hoping being more a lolibaba helps with that.
>>8101849
Dragon Maid added an oppai loli and that only got them even more assmad, though that is always funny to watch. I do plan to commission mama for a slightly older version of my model down the line, when she opens comms again. I want to stay loli and thrive as one.

>>8102158
Just do what you want, caring about what other 2view chuubas think of you is the fast track to failure.

Anyone here got a raid bot following them? Cause I had one and they were my only follower. They were attacking mostly people who had there race or sexuality in their tags but I had neither.

Any other vtubers getting attack by bots?

I had to block them and turn off raids and make my account followers only. I hate that my account basically got killed before it got off the ground. I just started streaming two days ago.

I might as well just fucking kill myself.

>>8103591
Shit I was typing this out of anger.

*their
*made my chat followers only
*I just started streaming on Twitch two days ago

>>8099832
Give me your good quality free vtuber secrets you little loli bitch. Cease hiding such things this instant or you are grounded young lady.

>>8103777
Luckytrips anon-chama, you missed the "baba" in my "lolibaba" and as a baba I can decide to not disclose my chuuba secrets. This is dumb but I kinda want to keep my source in the wraps until I debut, don't want someone else getting ahead with the plans I have for my model mama.

>>8103591
there's a tool for that
https://twitch-tools.rootonline.de/follower_remover.php
forces bots to unfollow your account. you can set a time period, or just nuke everything off if you're okay with it.

>>8104048
I'm still sending you to your room you little shit, and I WILL get those secrets one day.

>>8104325
Fine, I guess I can give you a clue. yukinoa_illust.

>>8104977
Your clue is acceptable, you are no longer grounded. As for the solution to your problem you simply need to not go overboard. People with personalities understand a joke is a joke, twitter types do not. If you don't go to a degree a normal human person would start to cringe, then their unreasonable anger will only amount to free advertising for you. No worries.

>>8104977
>>8105558
this fucker is correct, cancel culture doesnt exist. kitty is still streaming to 150-200 people, bungo is still streaming to 400+ people. let the twittard SJWs seethe, just block liberally and move on.

>>8104977
I'm trying to figure out if I like this art or not. I feel like this artist could make a really good Rozen Maiden-tier chuuba.

>>8105558
>>8105887
Thank you, anons.
>>8105900
She focuses on classic lolita fashion and bisque dolls, that sort of aesthetic so I can see why you think of Rozen Maiden when looking at her work. I was originally going to commission Akira Ishida, but I ended up surfing online and somehow found the model that artist made and it was so good and free that I decided I would stick with her instead.
Someone in previous thread mentioned people were not too into lolita fashion, but I feel classic lolita gets a pass because you can easily see it as victorian/classic aesthetics.

>>8106205
Well, good luck lolibaba-chama. Hope you can get bred or whatever your goal was.

Is ocenaudio viable for doing voicework?

>>8099832
is this kyuotto?

>>8106638
Nope.

>>8106638
>>8104048
oh nvm not debut yet. you might wanna try and talk with her, she been thru the loli rage thing herself.

>>8106205
Here's actual proof that SJWs are powerless:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ2uRst7Ol8

SJWs will almost certainly attack you for this, but they can't actually hurt your career. They can only hurt you if you're too thin skinned and take any and all criticism to heart. If you want to grow you will need to grow thicker skin and either ignore or laugh at/troll these retards. If you can't, I think you should just quit now.

>>8107166
Cancel culture doesn't exist, it's just natural selection.

>>8107166
You can't cancel Kana if she doesn't talk to anyone at all!

>>8107183
>>8107166
Cancel culture is real but only on certain scales. Twitter tards cant do shit on their own but if they get to people like your employer, business partners, etc and make them sever ties then it counts. One example would be like an actor saying a no-no word and getting every single one of his gigs canceled and no one hiring him ever again. That or gab or whatever that site is, I heard straight up BANKS started fucking with them.

>>8107371
>One example would be like an actor saying a no-no word and getting every single one of his gigs canceled and no one hiring him ever again. That or gab or whatever that site is, I heard straight up BANKS started fucking with them.
Natural selection. Those who do not adapt die.

>>8107423
That's more like big companies and banks deciding who lives and dies.

>>8107543
If they were strong they'd return fire.

>>8107543
>Natural selection is the process through which populations of living organisms adapt and change . Individuals in a population are naturally variable, meaning that they are all different in some ways. This variation means that some individuals have traits better suited to the environment than others.
Nah, it's literally natural selection.

>>8107565
You can't cancel a bank. That's antisemetic.

>>8107423
How are you supposed to "adapt" when nobody in your professional field will hire you anymore? Changing fields would be admitting defeat.

>>8107787
You gotta be pretty fucked up to think pride matters more than the roof over your head and the food in your stomach, better off dying desu senpai

how hard is it not to be a white supremacist nazi faggot as a vtuber? if your vtuber identity has a fucking gab or parler account, you deserve all the shit coming your way.

>>8110482
I like Kana but I don't understand how she does hour long streams only, like, 4 times a week and still pulls in great numbers for a pseudo-indie. To be clear, I'm amazed, not upset.

He doesn't even do that, it's just rehashed twitter/tumblr screenshots.

But he gets to floof Lumi, so I'd be jealous no matter his skill level

Hoping anon can help me out here...

Using OBS, streaming to twitch. If I have advanced settings on, so I can have a VOD track to avoid Run-DMC, then OBS says I'm streaming, but even after 90 seconds, there's nothing on Twitch.

If I run in simple mode, so I just can't play BGM, then it works.

How fix?

>>8112501
Can't you just add the bgm on loop as a media source?

>>8103591
I used Commander Root to block all known bot accounts, and have my account set so that only verified users can post in chat.
I can still get follow botted, and have been hit by small clusters (largest was three in a single stream, but not all at once), but I guess it's just not worth doing to me?

>>8112584
If I'm running OBS in simple mode, then I can't split the audio tracks, so the BGM would just stay in the VOD. Unless I download a track set from Lofi and use them on repeat?

I've heard good thing about Streambeats too, so I was thinking of switching to them, as I can use them without credit?

>>8070077
Are you still looking for someone? There are a bunch of us who started from nothing and are now pulling triple digits. It’s not crazy successful but it’s enough that you can do it full time.

>>8112990
Can you name a couple? Just a glimmer of hope please.

>>8113099
Batatvideogames and Yozoraaoi are both two who started from absolutely nothing and no connections and are now in triple digit tiers. I’m unsure if females are okay examples for you.

>>8113359
how did they do it...

>>8115801
Small gains over time essentially. 1-10 extra people a month = 120 viewers in a year. Making content for a content niche helps a bunch too.

>>8115801
Consistency, doing their reps, and reacting to chat.

I did an unmodded Skyrim stream last week. Everyone's seen Skyrim, especially unmodded, even more so the early levels (I hadn't even got to the Greybeards, or started any of the faction questlines).

But it's a self-imposed challenge run. So drop the details of the challenge every hour, and mention the challenge whenever you can (so if you can't do something, complain about it). Whenever someone posts in chat new that stream, explain what you're doing, how it's going, and ask them a closed question (are you having a good day? it's yes/no). Then expand that to the rest of chat, get them to join in with an open question (chat, in general, what interesting things happened to you today? Or are there interesting things you're looking forward to?)

There are 'tipping points' though.

The first is 1 chatter. With nobody actively chatting, you can talk shit about whatever. With 1, you have to carry the entire conversation, and include them.
Second is 2, because now they can interact with other.
Third is around 5/10, because then they'll actively chat with each other, and give you some responses to pretty much everything.
Fourth is when chat is always active, regardless of whether you're asking them questions or not.
Fifth is when you can't keep up with them individually anymore, because there's too many people. Most of us aren't going to hit this point.

>>8116439
I’ve actually found the tipping points to be slightly different. For me at least:
>1 viewer
This was the hardest. Moving out of “streaming for fun” and into “streaming for an audience”
>30 views
Was stuck here for awhile. I think this is the size that it’s no longer “I will watch my friend” and it’s “I will watch a streamer I like
>70-80 views
Partner push destroys your mental health and kind of makes you doubt yourself.
>greater than 150
These days I cannot know everyone in my chat. I would like to believe I know most people, but there are some regulars who I know nothing more than their name and that kind of makes me sad.
>some future tier I do not know of
At this point you ignore follows and probably ignore a lot of subs/small bits. Chat will likely just be emote spam as you don’t know anyone anymore since it moves too fast.

What do people mean by reps? And if you're starting from absolutely 0 knowledge how are you supposed to network? it can't possibly be following random indies and commenting on their tweets right?

>>8117060
Reps means effort. It’s a term from /fit/ basically training to get better.

And yeah that’s more or less the beginning. Commenting on their shit and visiting their streams.

>>8116267
Consider that Bat only blew up in this recent year and had been in the streaming game for years; she really just kept at the grind until she blew up with her crazy endurance challenges
>>8116746
y-yozo?

>>8116746
Yeah, I'm a long way from these. I'm averaging around 6 viewers, and I get to know most of them. I did a celebration stream for affiliate a few weeks back, peaked at 19 people in chat, and I could barely keep up. So long as growth isn't instant, I figured I'd be able to learn them bit by bit

Mau's twitter guide is harsh...

>>8103591
What's a raid bot? I can't understand what happened to you but sounds though

Is streaming through mobile possible or do I need to be playing on a pc due to the literal ocean of content? I'm not exactly swimming in cash

>>8127883
Have you not seen those clips where a bunch of bots join somebodies chat at once and start spamming profanities?

>>8127971
possible? yeah
don't really know what kind of content you'd be making since most of the phone livestreams i see are of idiots going around doing dumb shit in public for bits. setting off racist sound effects or doing """""pranks""""" on people

>>8129019
Well I'm not exactly on a cellphone, I was thinking of a tablet. I have some ideas already but i don't know if it feels like a good idea. I feel like I'll run out of things to do before I can make money to get a pc and join the elite

>>8129318
any device with an irl camera is yabai. an accidental knock and it could dox you or worse. and content is the million dollar question for streamers.

>>8129491
I use an IRL camera for hand-streaming most the time and it isn't too bad. I've only knocked it over once so far.

is it normal as babiniku to get random seemingly fresh accounts calling you tranny and incel etc? I dont even use voice changer or claim to be female obviously, and I dont reply to them. I dont know if its one schizo or its just normal. but I wont stop babinikuing because I get triple the views that I do with male avatar.

>>8137395
its just /v/fags.
ignore it.

I bought Humankind, it worked fine on medium settings for local play, and I managed to record locally ~3 hours of video on potato settings.

Tried to stream, and OBS said nope. 100% frame drop.

Guess I need to save for a new GPU.

>>8140548
>new GPU
>in the current market
Pain.

>>8140707
TBF, I don't need a *new* GPU. My current one is ~8 years old, released in 2013. So getting anything released for more than $250 since then should be good

This is probably obvious to a lot of people, but after more than 2 months of just uploading gameplay videos (not streaming), I’ve come to a few realizations.

1. If you can be fast to upload gameplay clips when a game first came out, even if it’s not that well-known of a game or you’re still just a nobody, you can still gain views, whereas if you upload clips of popular games months after its release, you’ll be lucky to have 2 views.
2. Meme clips are only effective if you’re already a big channel, or your channel is dedicated to just meme clips, but it will take a while before your clips take off
3. It’s better to upload 1 clip per day consistently, than to dump a bunch of clips in 1 day. When I was uploading 1 clip per day, my second acc got consistently recommended said clip and some older clips, but when I started uploading around 5 clips in 2 hours, YouTube stop recommending me those clips.
4. When you watch enough of your own clips, YouTube will start recommending other small channels playing the same games. This maybe a good chance for you to do your networking reps.

Hope this help some of you first starter somewhat, or maybe I’m just an idiot and just posted absolute nonsense.

>>8144946
>1. If you can be fast to upload gameplay clips when a game first came out, even if it’s not that well-known of a game or you’re still just a nobody, you can still gain views, whereas if you upload clips of popular games months after its release, you’ll be lucky to have 2 views.
the actual secret here is the novelty factor. just regular gameplay is boring. discovering a new trick that gives you a competitive edge over opponents that no one else has discovered? unlocking a new glitch that shaves off 8 seconds off a world record run? don't think about it in terms of old or popular games vs new games, but in terms of novelty.

>2. Meme clips are only effective if you’re already a big channel, or your channel is dedicated to just meme clips, but it will take a while before your clips take off
this is a weird way to think about it because what do you mean by "effective"? if it's only "effective" for big channels, what is it being effective at? bandwagons are a good way to get eyeballs on you as a small viewer because each new vtuber tiktok trend spreads like wildfire. but don't count on it as a major source of views.

>>8145450
>discovering a new trick that gives you a competitive edge over opponents that no one else has discovered?
Yeah, these things are the best kind of clips to gain viewers, same for just plain guides and advanced tutorial to a game’s mechanic, but I thought not many can or are willing to do this so I didn’t mention it.

>this is a weird way to think about it because what do you mean by "effective"?
As in picking up traffic and gain subscribers. I uploaded a few short clips for 2 weeks straight, and most didn’t gain as much views as the gameplay clips on average. Then I got recommended a bunch of meme clips from an unrelated channel, looking at the uploaded date and comments on those clips, I came to the conclusion that meme clips only start to be effective at gaining views after a period of time

Interesting, good posts.

I want to teach basic spanish while Im getting used to edit videos, if you want you can make me suggestions or questions about it.

>>8148385
Why is everything in your language male or female?

>>8149001
Not Spanish speaker nor that's anon but I can answer that. When Latin was being transformed in other languages they noticed the neutral nouns where useless and just merged them with male nouns this we don't have neutral words but still even though they are gendered they can be neutral or used for a different gender than the word itself.

Do viewers actually engage with kayfabe/lore at all? My pngtuber has a super detailed backstory and personality that I feel like I never get to talk about. I'm writing paragraphs of this shit because that's the kind of person I am, but I feel like a lore DM with murderhobo players, i.e. I'm wasting my time.

>>8149435
>that anon*

That's weird and I don't like it.

Prerecorded short-form content, simple as.

>>8149692
I kinda understand why you wouldn't but it's more simple than it sounds

>>8149482
I would say it depends how much you engage with it. I wouldn't assume everyone likes it and cares for the content, but I think that if you were playing a character really faithfully that could be a charm point.

Maybe you can lay on your character in particular types of streams?

>>8149482
Sort of yes sort of no. Effort is always interesting but having a shit ton of lore isn’t really going to help your quality of streams. It’s more “this is the theme of my avatar” and that’s all people care about.

i was kind of hoping to start working on a video, in advance, for the next round of auditions for hololiveEN since i missed the last ones

Is it weird to feel guilty about leaving your PL behind once you got the numbers? feels a bit like using fans...

>>8151280
You want to go Niji.

Can someone explain to me how "networking" here works?

Aren't you just pretending to be friends with each other for personal gain?

>>8151318
what is a PL

>>8151401
Past Life!

>>8151400
Networking is the way sociopaths talk about having friends. People will know if you are using them. So make friends instead with people you want to be friends with and that'll be genuine.

>>8151462
I was thinking it was power level...

>>8151318
IMO
Niji > prism > tsunderia > PC > others
Throw things as you feel but check out the group before hand because the biggest thing about joining groups like this is you need to make sure you'd fit in culturally and that your goals align.

For example, I'd never join tsunderia. I appreciate them and their openness but I'd be a terrible fit to be around them. But as a small group I think they're a good one to join.

Personally for someone who's getting the views you do, I'd see if I could pull keeping the character and just getting a new model maybe (yuuna and miori did this wjth tsunderia ), it benefits both you and the group and you keep your fans.

>>8151351
i already sent an audition in for nijisanji, no word back so i'd have to wait till next time

>>8151508
>>8151400
Networking doesn't mean you pretend to be friends. Never has, outside of people with MBAs and they're basically just people who'd otherwise be dentist i.e scum.
Networking means you establish a cordial relationship with someone under the implicit understanding that you'll help each other because you have different skillsets, areas of expertise etc etc and can thus bring something productive to one another's tables.

Making actual friends is good, and I'd encourage it, but it's not the same as networking nor is it needed.
t. Used to be involved in the family business for 10 years and had this shit drilled into me

>>8149435
This basically, I couldnt explain it better. Also, makes talking a bit interesting like, whats matter in spanish it's the context and the tone of the conversation not so much the words itself, basically calling perra to your friend is ok while you said it in a gentle tone.
Anyone else wants to ask? I'm writting down stuff.

>>8152659
Not a question, but when you get affiliate if you don't already, you can make language questions a redeem, basically free engagement.

>ask them a closed question (are you having a good day? it's yes/no). Then expand that to the rest of chat, get them to join in with an open question (chat, in general, what interesting things happened to you today? Or are there interesting things you're looking forward to?)
I always feel like doing that would lead up to parasocial relationship, or are there some kinda prevention to avoid that kind of relationship with your viewers?

>>8158032
"My husband and I had wild sex last night, like a hyena swinging a baby wallaby about by her neck. So I'd say I'm doing pretty good!"

I keep getting this weird texture or lighting error when I import a model into Vseeface. I think it has something to do with the shape keys but I haven't had it happen to me in blender or unity.

>>8158173
"Nice"
Felt like relationship boundary is a concept known to a small number of viewers, might have something to do with viewer age, might be more on their maturity but that's hard to gauge only by age

>>8158291
I dunno, I guess try to keep yourself seen as an entertainer first, but viewers gonna do what viewers gonna do, whether they want to be in a parasocial relationship with you or not.

>>8149482
It entirely depends how much you lean into it. Personally, my lore is pretty barebones, but it's going to drive model updates in the future - I'm a wizard playing with forces he doesn't understand, so I'm going to be learning vRoid, and making stupid gimmicks in a "whoops, that went wrong" style to use for a stream or two here and there.

For the most part though, it's to help distance yourself, and improve opsec. If I say "when I was at Hogwarts", rather than "when I was at the University of Durham", then it's harder to figure out who I am. Not massively useful, as I'm a m*le, but something to bear in mind.

It's also for other sites. So I don't post on twitter "looks like I need a better cooling system, my CPU overheated", I'd do something like "I need a new cooling charm, the spirits aren't happy". It helps posts stand out a little bit.

>>8158032
As a chuuba, I want the PSR from my viewers. I want them to think I care about them.

As a viewer, I had a rough patch in life my nan had dementia and a fall, and went through personality death, then suffered for months in a nursing home highlighted with bursts of comprehension, and that was horrifying

Two streamers I was relatively active in chat/discord with reached out to me, and asked if I was doing okay, because I'd not been around. Sure, it's parasocial, but it doesn't mean that nobody cares.

>>8158200

Go for it. With rumors of small nonamed agency vtubers getting into Hololive EN2 means that small agencies are good stepping stones to bigger ones and help you gain experience with working with a company and having genmates to work together with.

Thats a good idea, thank you anon!
I'm mostly gathering these types of information for start doing content.
Today I was practicing some phrases and explanation but I hesitate a lot when talking in english tho

>>8161499
People love a good character arc. English fluency arc can be a big draw, so I'd say go for it. Balance out the Spanish with English content (besides just speaking, like doing some actual studying from anything that isn't DuoLinguo) and you have a bunch of pre-made stuff to stream. EN<->ES translation streams, word games, comparing dubs of cartoons, writing and reading essays about your hobbies, the sky's the limit. Not all of it is guaranteed to work, but you can experiment and see what works. Best of luck, ESLchuuba!

completely false, design matters a lot to get people in the door, same as with trailers getting people to see a movie or looking attractive to get a date, it's getting them to stay when content matters because no one is going to come to you for your content when they've never seen it, they judge you based on your appearances

>>8167249
top 3 easiest aspies to make friends with? I'm not even autistic or abrasive, I have extreme social anxiety

>>8162511
Brand and design are both incredibly important. A very easy example would be Hololive EN gen 2, without any streams they have tens of thousands of subscribers each. That's a clear example of brand. You can see the effects of design when you examine the sub count differences between these girls who are all under the same brand. As an indie you probably won't be able to take advantage of brand, so if you're new you probably want an appealing design that will get people interested before they've even seen your content.

>>8167431
okay smart guy, how do you make an appealing design?

>>8167595
nta... Find an artist you like, who's popular, and ask them to do it.

>>8167422
>I'm not even autistic
That seems a bit debatable, anon.

>>8168018

>>8167422
Depends what you like. What kind of chuubas do you watch?

>>8167422
Prof. Bloom usually hangs around these threads and is very nice and approachable but he's in the woods until Saturday I believe
I'm not sure how many of the aspies still hang in this thread though (I mostly do out of habit) or if they've mostly migrated to /wvt/ but in general if you want to befriend any of them, chatting in their streams and interacting with them on twitter is usually a start!

>>8167422
Are you looking to make friends with aspies because you want to become friends or are you just trying to network

My mic broke earlier in the week, and I should finally be able to afford a new one this weekend. Any recommendations?

>>8117339
Reps means repetition to be fair. Every time you try, you get more proficient at the exercise. The first time you make some kind of dumb mistake while networking... you know. You'll avoid it in the future and be better for it. Or you just learn how to get from point A (I am contacting this person cold with no warning) to point B (we are helping each other in some capacity) faster.

>>8160689
A parasocial relationship is where one party has no contact with the other. Those streamers reaching out to you don't qualify, since you actually know them a little. And I guess it's easier for streamers with a manageable viewer base to have something more like a social relationship... like, I could manage actually knowing 20 regulars. 200, no chance, they're getting it parasocial.

>>8162622
Yeah that is a mess. In an environment where you control your face, design matters. Also audio design. I tuned in to a streamer and couldn't understand what the fuck she was saying at all, but somehow other viewers could. I left. Filtered, maybe.

I have an issue with positioning my mic.
I can either have it on a boom arm, or on a stand on my desk
Boom arm is a little far away so I sound quiet.
Stand arm is much closer to me so you can hear me clearer, but it's impossible to noisegate my keyboard and mouse from being picked up.

What should I do?

I sure wish NijiEN would give a sign of something regarding how the apps are going.
Oh well. How are those views looking, hopefuls? Ghosts stop being ghosted yet?

>>8181224
I'm a 0 view bird and at this point I'm sure they've already contacted who they're interested in and just filtered us out on the written
I don't think they're looking for a "diamond in the rough" they want big streamers who've already shown they can build an audience

Anons and Aspirationals, what are you doing to prepare for Hololive EN3 auditions? You have plenty of time to prep your portfolio until then.

-What are your milestones?
-When will you feel confident in your work?
-What do you hope to achieve by then?

>>8182050
As a fellow male I'm in the same boat and surprised a bit. I would have hoped some of us had gotten a glance by now ..

>>8182238
Obviously the first step is seeing if any of the new girls are cute enough to put effort into trying to get close to. Obviously.

>>8182238
If we're assuming that even one of them is the artist that drew the group picture (like last time, they were uncredited and it turned out to be Ina), they're definitely setting a precedent of "don't both unless you're a professional of some sort", but maybe we'll have another Ame who was just a streamer in the low hundreds.

Any recommendation to put emotion into my voice? I kinda autistic. When I talk I overthink every word I'm saying or im about to say so I usually stutter or talk in a monotone voice. People sometimes think I'm mad or bored because of this. Is there anything I can do to sound like I'm alive? Maybe reading scripts and acting?

>>8184276
https://iwanttobeavoiceactor.com/practice-readings/

>>8184276
The only half assed advice I can give if you actually have that much trouble with it is to let out your inner gamer

>>8184363
kek my inner gamer just play in silence with an angry face

>>8184276
Just talk to yourself bro.
You can't do anything without practice.

>>8184276
That's what I would do. I like to practice diction and it feels like a natural element to read dialogue like I think they would say it.
Maybe a better way would be to use some kind of media that has audio in it, a movie is probably best, and mimic emotional monologues. I find that an emotional register can "click" for me if I do this. It's important to remember that you should only try this with... good actors doing good acting. There are a lot of movies where it's pretty clear the actor is playing a role that makes their motivations really confusing or one dimensional.
I'm not suggesting you talk like that all the time, but if I mimic something well enough I physically feel an emotion and that helps me hone in on it later. It's all about reps, and you gotta get a diet with a wide variety of feels if you want to express them (in a measured and controlled fashion while also accounting for quality control).

Is there a trick to have my mic not pick up my mouth noises? Should I just put it farther away and up the gain or am I just being overly self conscious about the noises.

>>8184640
depends on how bad it is. viewers may not realize unless you point it out. you probably only hear it because you're going out of your way to listen for it. otherwise, stay hydrated, sip water, move the mic away to the side of your mouth and not directly in front of it. reduce the gain and talk a little loud.

>>8181224
It's been just as long between the girl applications closing and them tweeting out pic related as it's been since the male applications closed. I think it's a pretty safe assumption they've been focusing on wave 3 before moving on to the guys. This is cope btw.

>>8185105
I'm waiting to see that good ole "check your email boys!" tweet too before I fully give up hope. Man, I still just want them to watch my application video if nothing else though. I'm proud of that shit. I, tooting my own horn, believe I was particularly clever in how I went about it.

>>8185430
>I was clever
you fucked up

>>8185902
Probably. I still want them to watch it though.

Nijisanji in-house software developer here.
You won't see view increases for the initial pass through because the application software they use downloads the form and utilizes the YouTube backend API to download the video directly as opposed to going through the UI or frontend API, so your views won't increase until they start passing your video around at the second level.
This is done so that the videos and applications can be kept together in a .rar file and saved off into a private computer that doesn't have internet in order to prevent the front line managers from accessing other videos on your youtube account and giving some applicants an unfair advantage due to having more videos to "show"

If you didn't get a view, you didn't get passed the first wave.

>If you didn't get a view, you didn't get passed the first wave.
Even if true this literally changes nothing. We'd still be waiting on views either way.

>>8186433
There were approx 5000 applicants for wave 3 with 15 people going through applications.
While not precise, they were able to go through most applicants within a few days of being submitted (less than a week) if you didn't see a view increase in that time period, I'm sorry to tell you that you probably didn't make it.

but pantsu party did

>>8186574
jfc 5000 really?
wonder how many where super piss poor

>>8186975
Poor Vincent. He just wanted to sing Pizza Pasta as an anime girl with Hatsune Miggu

>>8186574
>There were approx 5000 applicants for wave 3
how many of them have set their audition tapes to public? any that would make it to the cringe hall of fame?

Are you guys underage or just dumb?

>>8187170
Just search nijisanji audition on youtube to find the answer to that one.

>>8187287
I'm dumb but I'm also fucking around with the obvious bullshit bait instead of ignoring it because I'm bored. Sorry anon.

Susan YouTube here. I’m manually resetting the viewcount on each of your auditions to zero as a social experiment. Each of you have actually hit double digit views because you’re all so good and Nijisanji can’t choose between you. But you’ll never know, and you’ll always think it was because you weren’t good enough.

>>8187587
Damn you Susan. First you break the super chats and now this! What's your end game to this madness?

>>8187328
Just think this is what most people sent in
https://youtu.be/As4cZXgNXRM

>>8187742
Literally just your typical streamer actually.
Narrationfags are the worst.

>>8181224
Still a 0 view cat. Kinda figured it was a bit risky going for the most popular design, but oh well. Just gonna work harder to stop being a 2view nobody for next time.

>>8187742
It's impressive how he obviously missed every single instruction given for the audition video. He saw "five minutes" and that was it. And he still sort of went over it. I'm impressed. I wonder if he thinks his view count gives him a shot.

>>8162622
Beauty matters

>>8187742
To be fair, this makes me wonder what a good audition video would look like other than just doing a quick RP "debut" video.

normal streams are mostly just this with some cute noises and audience interaction, the later of which isn't possible in an audition video. Course he was particularly bad about it, but it wouldn't have been "good" to do a video stream as an example in general.
Pretty much any stream content I can think of would be terrible to showcase in a short video like this unless you're just clipping together content from your past life.

>>8188146
be an entertainer, not just a streamer.

>>8188203
Yeah but its 5 minutes and you're showing your streaming potential which is mostly about flow content like this or audience interaction.

If you just submitted yourself singing KING it wouldn't really be a good video either because you're not showing how your normal content would be like.

>>8188277
this is why you should have a portfolio of content to show off. imagine submitting something like this for auditions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzLoNtvNIE4

>>8188146
On this note, would some anons be willing to share a general description of what they did? Or would that still somehow be too risky even now?

>>8188327
God I fucking hate Mori so much.

>>8188391
Anon pls we have enough schizos in this thread don't attract any more I beg you.

>>8188391
Based

>>8188342
Not gonna give away in full what I did, but I wanna say I approached mine as more of a "prerecorded skit" than a "livestream example". Of course this skit was still me "streaming" but I had a setup and punchline type of thing planned in advance

>>8186574
If this really isn't a larp which it probably is go ahead and let us know about the male stats, number of applications? how many went through the first round (if they've gone that far)?

>>8187742
Ok but why is this kinda good

>>8187170
this one is pretty bad
https://youtu.be/ahu_C7qVnrE

>>8188916
I kind of did a parlor trick with mine taking advantage of the 5 minute timelimit, where I did a "full" marathon stream of a popular game in the time span via using a far less well known glitch. Because it's a well known game I was able to dedicate most of the time to doing the character self introduction while also having a few jokes going on verbally and visually as I ignored the odd things happening on the screen until I "finished" the marathon.
Sadly as I'm a 2view I'll probably be passed over out of hand anyway.

>>8189133
Her voice actually doesn't sound that bad desu, odd direction to take her "character" though

>>8189133
i don't think it's really bad, just cringe because she's larping as a cartoon character rather than a streamer.

not an /asp/ie but someone from /here/ made it into holoen2

>>8189469
who?

I would fucking love for someone /here/ to make it into either of the big corpo, maybe then I'd actually watch an EN for once

>>8189469
tiger?

>>8127883
Someone made a program that sends fake accounts to spam your channel.

I used >>8104058 and >>8112640 to block them all.

Also if you click the accounts they'll leak your IP address. Look up hate raid and #twitchdobetter there are lists of bots to block.
They're targeting vtubers too so please be careful. They'll kill your channel if you don't do anything about it.

>>8189469
Is it Rat?

God why do I have to hate shilling so much its the only way for people to find you but it feels so dirty

>>8192453
which part about it feels dirty, anon?

>>8192530
pussy answer but all of it.

>>8192570
Whether it's shitty or not depends on where you're doing it. If it's in places you shouldn't then don't, if it's something like twitter than it's fine. People post anything on that place, that plus the other /here/ boards are the only places it's easily considered fine. Some people might even be looking for a chuuba so you could be doing them a favor, who knows.

>>8192570
can't really help you in that case, but take a couple of minutes to think about which part of it bothers you. there's probably some aspect about it that is giving you pause. hope you figure out what's causing it and are able to figure out why it makes you feel that way.

>>8192570
Are collabs shilling?

>>8192570
If you call it "shilling" you're already doing yourself a disservice. If you want more eyes on your work promoting yourself is the key to your happiness.

>>8192453
Remember that there's a difference between massive corporations shilling and helping someone from a site you share a bond with go from 0 view to 1 view in an effort for them to make it.

my voice is relatively androgynous, leaning towards masculine. is it worth it to try for a masculine female avatar, or should i bite the bullet and go male? i like female character designs more in general and i’m struggling to come up with anything compelling for a male, but i’m wondering if i should just buckle down and put in the effort to hash out a nice concept for a guy.

>>8193527
Go for shota or trap archetypes. They're both popular.

>>8193527
Post a voice clip and I/we'll tell you if it will work. No point in wasting your time.

>>8193527
Just be yourself bruh.
I do female avatar, I prob sound like a tranny but it's my natural voice just pushed a little higher for character sake. I do it cause I like female designs, that's all. I could do a male one fine too, but my male voice ain't exactly making panties wet either. At the end of the day I'm using what makes me happy, thats all there is to it.

Randon is giving a lot of advice on vtubing

>>8195756
he's already 2 hours in, anything useful to rewind back to? it sounds like he's just chatting with friends now.

>>8181392
>I don't think they're looking for a "diamond in the rough" they want big streamers who've already shown they can build an audience
Anycolor are shooting themselves in the foot by being numberfags and not looking for more hidden, possibly better talent. Going only after proven successful streamers can only take them so far, and it's gonna bite them in the ass when they pass up an equivalent of HoloEN's Ina.

>>8196603
>Ina
>good
Lmao.
Either way they did take a chance with finana. And the Miki wasn't that big either and she got taken on as rose.

In gen 2 selen was the only real numberfag pick and they picked her because they wanted an EN kuzuha.
They'll "numberfag" but that's because typically anybody worth hiring has a following. Even most the JPs had some semblance of a past life to show as a successful track record.

>>8162287
One can wish.

>>8189673
Isn't Selen /here/?

How do I make it as a rigger

>>8196838
rig good

>>8196698
>>Ina
>>good
scoring a professional tier freelance artist who turned out to be a pretty decent streamer for their first gen turned out pretty damn well for hololive. you might not like Ina personally, but her numbers already show that she's got plenty of mainstream appeal.

>>8197067
>numbers big! That means she's good!
No it means retards eat up the hololive brand no matter what garbage they slap the name on.
Ina is a fine artist, she's a terrible streamer.

>>8197404
how many subs do you have again?

>>8197404
What makes her a bad streamer? Genuinely asking.

god can we not bring the fucking holo fighting in the aspie thread?
and can we please nor reply to offtopic fags?

>literal no name drawing lines in sand about what a good streamer is
>my personal taste is an objective measure of a good streamer
kek, never change /asp/ this is why everyone hates you

This dude said they watched his audition video for Nijisanji's first EN wave. I'm hoping/coping that they'll watch all of ours too. Though it might be different now and they're really numberfagging.

https://youtu.be/g48TL7wcma8

>>8198208
I don't know if this is supposed to be bait or not given everything about it. Look at the date if it isn't. And his submission. And.. everything about it.

I wish I could somehow do better…

>>8199037
stop chasing holos. you don't have the huge viewerbase inertia that helps you coast through stream 5 out of 8 Yakuza streams. take 2 weeks to just experiment. if you have regular viewers ask for candid feedback. if you don't have regular viewers, who gives a fuck. the point is to experiment and do something different and new.

>>8199117
I’ve been trying new things but it just.. I feel soulless. I have steady viewership but I just… I don’t know. I want this to be fun. But the only fun I have is when number get bigger

>>8200290
>I want this to be fun. But the only fun I have is when number get bigger
the only way to get bigger numbers is to appeal to wider audiences. how good is your pee pee poo poo material?

>>8200290
Play cookie clicker

>>8200409
My peepee poopoo pretty strong, that’s how I’ve gotten as far as I have
>>8200427
Cookie clicker isn’t even fun tho

>>8193581
i think i've got a bit too deep of a voice for a worthwhile trap, unfortunately.
>>8193619
https://voca.ro/1b7OLVBRLb2b
sorry for the tism, i didn't know what to say
>>8193640
thank you, anon! i appreciate your insight. i don't know if i'd be happier with a male avatar or a female avatar at the end of the day, so that's why i'm torn.

>>8200728
This isn't a feminine voice what so ever, but it's quite soft and easy to listen to. I don't really know that I'd recommend anything feminine, but some professor route or something may not be awful.
That being said, I definitely do feel like I'm watching one of those 30 minute video game reviews listening to it, but that might just be the subject matter. One of the ones that gets 500k views while people listen to it in the background.

>>8201004
sick, thank you. i'm grateful for your thoughts - i have a hard time determining what i actually sound like, so it's nice to get outside input. thanks for listening and taking the time to respond!

>>8200728
Work on speaking in your highest register, and you'll eventually pull off a good babiniku voice.

>>8201131
you sound like a generic white mid 20 something dude. not feminine at all.

>>8200728
Your voice is a bit nasally but not unbearably so, you just sound like your average nerdy white guy. If you went female people will just assume you’re trans.

>>8200728
Dumbass, you dont sound feminine at all. You'll be fine voicing some cool chill dude than anything else.

>>8201327
i’ll think about it. not sure if i could sustain a high voice for as long as i’d like to.
>>8201389
>>8201763
huh, i’ve been told otherwise. thanks - that’s honestly kind of a relief to hear.
>>8201479
i’ll keep that in mind. thank you!

What makes an ikemen voice and how do I into that? I currently sound like lesbian. I'm a dude btw.
https://voca.ro/1kbIUoRZ7eHL
Forgive the phone recording.

>>8202100
Sounds like you're talking wrong, speak from your diaphragm,

>>8202100
are you over 18? you sound like a 14 year old boy

>>8202100
ikemen voice has more to do with your style and delivery. if you want examples of how even short voice lines can carry ikemen energy, listen to the japanese VAs delivery the lines of these catboys.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7t1Y_BF-O8

>>8202194
How does one talk from the diaphragm?

>>8202244
DM Bloom if he doesn't show up, he helps people with vocal stuff

>>8202327
I'm pretty sure he's currently camping in the mountains or something.

>>8202100
You most be 18 and older to post on 4chan.

>>8202347
Looking at Twitter, he'll be back tomorrow? Can't hurt to leave a message anyways

>>8202100
underage please leave

>>8202244
Take a deep breath from your stomach (which should expand but NOT your chest), that's where you should be speaking from. Try to make it so your chest doesn't move if you can, it's mostly a habit you have to train yourself into. Then, try to use that air to speak through your throat, not your nose. You know how people with deep voices always sound like they have a sort of rumble to their voice? That's because those vibrations are going through and out of their throat and not the nose, which would produce a more nasally sounding voice like yours now. If you yawn, try making a noise like a groan while you yawn and you'll get a vague idea of how to project your voice from your throat and not your nose. Train yourself to speak in this way by default, which takes time, and that should work. Hope that helps.

>>8202100
Holy shit you sound underaged. Good god

>>8202221
I'm a lot older than 18.
>>8202240
Their voices sound so cool. Like it resonates or something, mine doesn't. But I'll work on it.

Is he the barbershop quartet guy? I'll look him up. Thanks.

>>8202540
you need to stop talking with your head and start talking with your chest. you sound the way Michael Cera looks. take deeper breaths, jesus christ.

>>8202582
>you sound the way Michael Cera looks
I'm fuckin' dying. Thank you anon.

>>8202540
just keep taking your testosterone and your voice will stop sounding so female

>>8202512
That explains a lot. I'll practice that. Thanks.
>>8202429
>>8202521
Not underage. I'm probably even older than most peeps here.
Don't ban me pls mods

>>8202762
No problem. One thing I will warn you about is that you can't really change your voice per se, just alter it a bit. Don't believe anyone who tells you your resting voice can change from fairy princess to Morgan Freeman without surgery. After that it's just a matter of getting used to it again. good luck and stick with it.

>>8202762
hmm in your normal voice and feel where the vibrations are and then try to pull the vibrations back and down.

>>8202926
my voice just gets raspy when i try this, what do

>>8203125
you're going too low, bring it back up the throat
