/asp/-Aspiring VTubers and startups

[Anonymous No.]

I finally found one of my OP pictures edition

>What is /asp/?
/asp/ is a thread for vtubers to give and recieve advice related to vtubing

>Can i self post?
Self posting is allowed as long as it's for asking for feedback or starting out, there are other threads for self promotion

>Should i stream on Twitch or YouTube?
Most people would recommend against streaming on YouTube if you don't have an established subscriber base from making videos

>Is there an audience for X
Would you watch someone do X?
Is someone already doing X?

Lots of big channels have a mixed bag of videos if you scroll far back, but once something catches traction, you better stick to it or the algo won’t know where to push you
So, it’s okay to start with reviews and go into ASMR as long as you do ASMR consistently from that point on

I'll have to go back to playing around with OBS, I've used Streamlabs for a long time because it had a cool feature that I hadn't seen since like 2009 with Livestream's Procaster program.

It lets you have a transparent chat log sitting on top of your games. I have a habit of missing things relying looking on my second monitor.

Manhera Monday
I've cultivated an audience of people who only really stick around for my zatsu but the moment I play a game, I lose everyone. Last night I had ~50CCV for being an idiot online but the moment I switched to a game, my CCV dropped to 9. This has been consistent for like 2 months now. Should I just give up playing games on stream and just be mentally ill on the internet? It's not like I act any different when I play a game. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

[Anonymous No.]

>>42045642
I do miss some things on streamlabs but you won't regret switching to obs-studio, considering they work on the same base anyways, streamFX might work in streamlabs, but you'll have to try that yourself. Personally i think obs-studio is just the better software, even if you don't care about the fact that all streamlabs did was take the obs source code, slap their own name (and some of their features) on top of it and monetize it. (at least their premium features).

I didn't think I'd find someone who used livestream from all the way back, i remember trying to run my stream back then with my old modem on 500kbits upload. Good times (actually bad times, streaming sucked if you were poor back then).

>and monetize it. (at least their premium features)
It's bothered me that they introduced all their premium features for free and then took it all away, so at this point if you're using the free version I feel like I might as well be using OBS itself since they don't really add anything.

>I didn't think I'd find someone who used livestream from all the way back
I used to be a tripfag on /tg/ when I was underage b& and didn't continue with it because why the fuck would streaming video games make anybody money? It was such a foreign concept to me. RIP 30-50 viewer streams every day for x-com of all things.

The old days were wild man, I fell in with a group of people that streamed TV shows/movies/games and there was like 20-30 people with access to the channel and someone was always streaming something.

[Anonymous No.]

>>42045822
I think before dropping games altogether I would try different kinds of games first. Maybe something with more broad appeal or try a new game in the meta right now that might to grab people's attention.

I was pretty young myself, I never got involved with any groups so i never really started streaming until like 2019 and even then i'm a terminal 1view, i'm pretty much using this as a creative exercise to push the vtuber medium as far as i can with custom 3D scenes and all that jazz. Always loved streaming from a technological perspective so I like to stick around here and help people out with obs stuff.

Voice reps, do them religiously and develop your muscle memory.
To eliminate nasality, either you drop down your pitch and completely use chest resonance to speak (it would sound more masculine but it's a lazy way of speaking),
or if you want to use your head voice without sounding nasal, a tip that worked for me is to imagine pushing a little bit of air from your throat whenever you're speaking.

[Anonymous No.]

>>42045822
Here's the thing Anon. You have the audience you decide to cultivate.

If you never play bideo james, you'll never have the audience that comes for video games. If you don't Zatsu, most likely you won't have people that stick around for Zatsu.

One of the traps people fall into is being an "x-streamer". Someone I used to follow basically became "The XCOM Streamer" and when he branched out to other games nobody really watched.

Which sucks, because if you're chasing The Algorithm it'll look like your stream is dying, but you have to lay the groundwork to be a variety streamer.

[Anonymous No.]

>>42050340
Just imagine it but don't actually push the air right? Thanks, I appreciate it so much. Hopefully my voice can get to where I want to be.

Sounds like you should seek out zatsu friendly games then. I think that might be why you are are doing better with Minecraft and Pokemon. Stuff like power wash simulator, viscera cleanup detail, animal crossing or even games that you have put a ton of time into and could play with your eyes closed. I did a stream playing a rythem game once and didn't even mention one thing about the rythem game, was one of better streams actually.

When designing your chuuba, how do you weave a secondary theme into it. I have the main theme that's inspired the design, plus something to represent a few of my interests, but I'm worried it feels too generic & that the character may just be the theme, rather than the theme being visible in the character, if that makes sense.

>that the character may just be the theme, rather than the theme being visible in the character
I'm also on the design phase and the way I weave in my theme is "What does my chuuba do for a living?"
I assume you're focusing on "who you are" (e.g. demon, vampire, catboy) and that might feel a bit generic, but adding a layer of profession would balance that out.
As for how, I sprinkle flashy accessories with a recurring motif and a huge ass logo complete with chuuni phrases

The way I designed my chuuba was recycling a design for a semen demon I was drafting an eroge around. It's just an armored, isekai'd schoolgirl. But tanned.

>>42080079
I've tinkered with the idea of streaming, though my thoughts on it are not really Vtuber-ish. It of course involves an image to represent a character that I would act into, the gimmick being of course that whatever role I am taking is the draw. My first idea was to be some hapless engineer in a derelict station real far out in space whose only bid for entertainment is the somehow perfect transmission to Earth which is unquestioned and accepted as just "miraculous". The idea is that I would be introduced to Earth "culture" through chat and take EVERYTHING at face value, so if a chatter claimed that saying "parsnips" was the new "rad", I'd just say parsnips from then on to "fit in with the cool kids".

[Anonymous No.]

>>42061082
>>42090481
imo the design should heavily lean into the personality since it serves as a thumbnail, (e.g. someone clicking because the model looked lewd will expect the vtuber to be lewd). A good example of an aspie that does this concept is Bloom, he sings a lot, so he's dressed like a Barbershop Quartet member, someone into singing will randomly see him and think "Oh, i like singing, i should check this guy out". Of course, you don't absolutely need to do this to succeed, I've never seen Hes do anything related to greek mythology, yet she's one of the better performing aspies

Is there a way to have media in obs that pauses when you switch the scene out and resumes where it left off when you switch back?

You can do it with youtube. Kaiser did a nice little video showing how to put youtube videos directly into obs and interact with them as well. I just tested it and you can pause the video and change to another scene and come back later to resume the youtube video where you left off.

>>42101485
I don't know which streamer was first to get hit with them, I just know the meaning behind them. The idea is that when a streamer makes an attempt at humor or does something in particular the chat can spam "+/-2" to signify whether they think it is funny or not. Though the use in of itself is a joke, with chatters sometimes spamming random numbers or posting it at abnormal times just to poke at the streamer for a response (more interactivity and engagement). I personally heard/seen it with Jerma, and his responses to it I believe make chat happier since he gives a performance of sorts or joking retaliation.

Do you have any recommended places to look at for model artists ? Most artists I've checked so far on twitter aren't taking commissions, but more importantly my design idea doesn't really fit the usual humanoid body.
It's basically just a head but it also features what you could call special effects like lightnings or whatnot, so I need to find someone that would be willing to put up with my stupid ideas.

Day 5: I started playing music in the background because the game has a lot of empty segments but otherwise I'm doing good on the game.
I think a human being clicked on the stream, but then left without a word. It's alright, I understand.
At the end of the stream I tried singing a song but my throat died because I had been streaming for 4 hours.

[Anonymous No.]

>>42112200
I guess you're not that far off ?
I'm not going to give out my idea for obvious reasons but let's pretend it's a stormy cloud with a face, obviously you would want lightnings and shit like that to convey the stormy part.
I know this is probably asking for specialised stuff that could be challenging for some artists, but on the other hand I wouldn't need a bust in my design so surely there's a middle ground to be found ?

If you noramally have 0 viewers one way to get at least some viewers is by playing brand new games that just got released on steam. Better if nobody else is streaming them. It can be a bit expensive but every time I have done it I have gotten way more than my normal viewership.

Okay, I had my first stream! A test stream.
I just wanted to see if it would actually work when I hit the start streaming button and it did so all good!
It was fun even, I talked about something inane and had lots of fun doing it, sang and played a little bit of music and got a good idea of all the many different things you have to manage during a stream which has given me a lot to think about and work on. I'll worry about technical stream setup for the next test stream / first proper stream attempt now. It mostly just felt good to actually do it, I want to do more right away and I feel super energized to do more. I really enjoyed it and I feel so motivated now!!

He's a good friend who's been working in 3D industry for a long time, since he's been out of his projects he wants to get into making chuubas. My model is going to be a pilot project but from what I've seen he's proficient enough. His traditional art is anime stuff so he knows his way around aesthetics and he's actually planning to a game project in arksys style shading / modeling too.

If he can make this work he wants to do other models but he needs a reference first, so once he's done with mine I might throw his twitter here. The pricing might not stay that way though, if he pulls it off it's pretty much a one in a lifetime deal.

Whatever fits your personality and doesn't break ToS. Honestly trying to play a character that doesn't fit you isn't sustainable at best and just bad vibes at worst. If you are a full degenerate coomer you might want to consider if twitch streaming is the fitting platform for you to stream on. It all depends on what you want to emphasize on.

Do you want a full coomer design but mostly be wholesome and don't really focus on it? Do you want to do ring fit streams where your tits bounce up and down for hours? There's a million ways to make it work, you just have to feel out what works for you. You also have to keep in mind what kind of audience you want to attract. I'm very degenerate as a person, but my stream is 100% family friendly, no swearing and absolutely no skin showing because I don't want people lusting after me on stream.

I find it's something that you need to condition yourself for. When I started streaming I had a hard time streaming and talking for even 2 hours in a row more than a couple times a week.

That yes, is very doable. You do need to check how your rigger is gonna do the loops, because if it's gonna be a big chunk of the character, some will do somethin that looks "good enough" and some will take the time to make sure all the angles have the right animation.

So I was talking with a couple of people yesterday, and they said I should try VTubing. My biggest problem I’d say is that I have horrible Internet connection- and when I say horrible, I mean I can’t even stream games over discord.
That being said, what is the minimum uploads/download speed that you need?

[Anonymous No.]

>>42202304
It should be stable. Most people will have a fast enough plan these days.

[Anonymous No.]

A month of streaming every day. (well technically, in actuality I missed a couple days due to poor internet conditions) More than doubled my normal streaming amount per month. 93 hours in total. About as much as I physically could with a fulltime job without my life completely falling apart . It averaged out to about 3 hours streamed per day. This challenge was partly to see if my relative low number of hours streaming is the reason that my numbers have never really grown since I started streaming over half a year ago now.

Results? Numbers wise it was mixed. Average viewership was down slightly from my more normal 40 hours streamed a month, likely because more of the hours I streamed were on "bad" days of the week and less were on Friday Saturday and Sunday. If you squint really hard, there does seem to be a slight trend upwards with my viewership, but its not exactly obvious. Somehow I got worse numbers of people following my account during the month than most of my previous months. I cant really explain why that was exactly, maybe the quality of my content suffered.

On the positive, and not really reflected in stats, side. I did notice a huge growth in how much more I bonded with some of my followers, and many of these followers that very recently joined. There was a few that showed up almost every single stream. I guess you could call it growth in parasocial relationships. This resulted in streaming being much more fun for me, and the few times I was unable to stream due to internet problems made me genuinely sad. Somehow I don't think I am even close to burning out. I probably will keep a busier streaming schedule in the future because I enjoy it more now.

So what is my conclusion? In my case I don't think that my relative lack of streaming is why my numbers have remained so low over the time I have been streaming. Its almost certainly due to some other factors that I wont go into here, but anyway thanks for reading about my little experiment. I hope it was interesting or useful to somebody.
