At least with the first one they did explicitly clarify the auditions were for Hololive AND Holostars. I'm sure they wanted to test the waters with only 5 with the first run, but I'd be very surprised if they weren't at least writing down names for a Holostars EN at this point, and I'm reasonably sure they're going to announce gen 1 of Stars EN it when they do gen 2.
This would also be the time to do it too, since letting Nijisanji just go without competition indefinitely for male big name ENVtubers doesn't really make sense, and the JP Stars all have like >50% foreign fanbases already.
Point is, you've got nothing to lose by applying and there's a good chance you might actually get it, so why not. Worst case nothing happens, and that's frankly the most likely scenario even if they ARE doing stars anyway.

Given that
1. There's already a proven English market (in both the HoloEN fanbase and the large StarsJP English fanbase).
2. Their biggest competitor is definitely going to have some males.
3. The pool of English speaking male indies to pull from has NEVER been bigger
and
4. The operating cost of a vtuber is low enough that they'd have to have the entire generation quit within a month or 2 to not turn a profit.
From a business perspective they'd have to be stupid to not at least put out a 3 person generation soon.
Like, I won't claim they'd be AS big as HoloMyth and whatever they're calling the next gen, but you'd have to be at least a little retarded (which admittedly, Japanese companies are) not to see a few male streamers with the Hololive brand attached as some free money just waiting to be claimed.

Anon, it IS an application for a female voice. When they say gender irrelevant they mean your real life gender doesn't matter, but the character you would play if you are hired is female, and you need to be able to convincingly act that.

In reality, they're just saying this so they don't get brigaded by seething trannies on twitter trying to pull some #CancelHololive bullshit. They aren't going to hire anyone who isn't female.

>>542118
When they are interested in males they'll put out an audition call for Holostars. This is an audition for Hololive, meaning if the video you send them as a sample isn't a female character they're just going to immediately throw it out.

If you can't even read the instructions you're never going to make it.

These are conflicting statements, so your position is just as valid as mine. Completely talking out of your ass.

They're not conflicting at all. The first one refers to the actor's real life gender, the second part refers to the characters. All-female vtubers. If you put in a video submission playing a non-female character they will mark you down as "couldn't follow instructions" and toss it in the trash immediately. This is hiring practice 101 for sifting through large volumes of submissions.

I agree with you, I don't think they will hire men either, but you're still talking out of your ass.

[Anonymous No.]

>>547048
Or, and maybe consider this seeing as how it's literally on the audition form, they don't give a shit about what you have between your legs as long as you can convincingly play a female character. They wont hire men because there are not very many men that can convincingly and long form sound like a girl, and even fewer that are interested in being vtubers, not because they care about them being men or plan on putting them in a different role than they auditioned for.

[Anonymous No.]

>>547121
But then why ask, bro? That's the sticking point. If they don't care, but they need female sounding voices why even put the box?

>Transwoman 1 cannot convincing imitate a female voice, ticks box for female and doesn't get hardfiltered by the question

If what you're saying is correct, the question is completely redundant, they would've just said "We're looking for people to play 5 female characters" and then filtered anyone who sounded male.

Hololive likely doesn't care, and would be open to hiring a tranny or a guy who can do a good female voice for their main branch
>but if that were true then why haven't they have hired a tranny or man by now
Because none have met the strict qualifications. It is not enough to have a 'decent' female voice. You must have a great one. You must have a proven history of streaming or otherwise entertaining content creation. You must have a wide variety of talents. You must not sperg out politically on social media. This filters a vast amount of applicants alone.
Now consider that in America, trannies make up like 0.5% of the population; that's an incredibly small number of people. How many of those are talented enough to make the cut in hololive? How many of those are willing to risk their already stable careers for something that's not guaranteed to last? How many of those are actually smart enough not to go on meaningless political rants online? This leaves you with virtually none. As for men who are comfortable in their sex, the ones who can meet the qualifications would not give up a stable career for that temporary hololive money.
>but what about the antis
They kept Coco and zhangs are far more devoted than any anti in america or japan could ever hope to be. Don't even argue me on this, because you know I'm right. Nothing exceeds the autism of chinese ultranationalists. Nothing.

There is literally no reason not to send an application no matter who you are, as long as you don't shitpost on the form. The worst case is nothing happens, which will still occur to the hundreds of people who do pass the imaginary boundaries you guys are setting up.

Japan doesn't care about Twitter trannies, stop letting us live rent free in your head. More likely it's due to Japan's cultural heritage of male actors playing female characters in kubuki theater.

Remember, if you are a male and have the ability to be entertaining on stream and/or make interesting video content, you can already succeed as a normal streamer/youtuber and do not have to surrender your creative freedom or part of your earnings to Cover (who don't provide value proportional to their revenue split). You will start from nothing but the ceiling is much higher. The installed viewer-base for Hololive is NOT worth it, especially considering it is already proven that Holostars only get a fraction of those viewers. Even among V-tubers agencies, men are much more successful at Nijisanji, on top of having a more favorable contract and no need for game permissions.

Men do not need a virtual avatar because your viewers absolutely don't care what you look like if you're male as long as you're entertaining (and don't have an extremely annoying voice).

Women however aren't even given a chance if they are not attractive and therefore need the crutch of an avatar. Don't blindly chase a fad if you actually have talent only to get screwed out of your own success.

There isn't a proven English market for men. Quite the opposite. People who want males are a vocal minority, as evident from the actual numbers: HolostarsJP don't actually bring in that significant of an English audience, most of them just don't get great numbers in the first place and only a percentage of that audience is English. There's also significant evidence that the rest of the Western vtuber market has no interest in men.

The biggest competitor isn't definitely going to have some males. It's actually very likely they'll debut zero. If you're following the English vtuber scene, you'd know that Nijisanji is by all appearances not even looking at male applications at all. Despite the fact that unlike holostars they do bring in a significant amount of viewership to their JP male streams, all signs point towards them deeming the market here non-viable for men.

I don't got anything to say about point 3 but in regards to 4, operation costs are low but a woman and a man cost as much to produce so there's an opportunity cost to not just debuting another woman.

HolostarsEN right now is actually a completely irrational gamble.

Yet they cooperate all the time, never get into problems (what you read in this site is always blown out of proportion) and have stayed neutral to any political/controversial topic. I think Cover's hiring philosophy depends more on how reliable you are more than the talent shown. After all every girl started out weak (Amelia is a prime example) but you can always get better. It's not like any of them have a PhD in entertainment.

Nijis can generally stream whatever games they want because they are not technically employees of Ichikara the way Holos are employees of Cover. As for the contract, Nijis allegedly have a better revenue split for SCs and their requirements are a lot looser. For instance they don't have the "at least 3 streams a week" clause Holos do, they're also not contractually obligated to participate in Nijisanji's equivalent to Holofes.

On youtube? You can't. These are twitter celebrities.

Basically nearly all confirmed holo idols allegedly look pretty good, so I'm not sure about this whole "Hololive is a safe haven for uglies" narrative. And roleplaying out a shtick with a virtual avatar sounds valuable for a guy. Personally I can't stand "3D dude talks into a webcam" content, so at least I'm a customer that wouldn't be filtered by an L2D avatar.

Where did this retarded idea that not liking trannies means you wanna be a tranny or secretly like trannies, come from. What kind of stupid cope is that, do you think the whole world works on tsundere anime logic?

You pay 50-100 bucks to commission a static png from a chuuba artist (getting a fully-rigged L2D model is way too expensive), then make a twitter account using that art as an avatar. Proceed to post a bunch of shit about how you're going to debut soon™, and generally stir up shit in the horrible cesspool that is the "western vtuber" community and try to create enough drama that you get attention.
In 1 out of every 10 or so vtweeters' cases, build enough antipathy towards yourself that you finally pony up the funds for a minimally-viable, bottom-tier L2D and finally debut, months later, as a boring anime e-thot on your platform of choice (99% of the time Twitch), or in easy mode runs commission a very high-quality model and debut as a boring anime e-thot on your platform of choice.

it does seem like japan doesn't really care all that much as far as vtubers go, they have male crossdresser characters, androgynous no defined gender characters, male characters that look like girls, females playing male characters, males playing female characters with and without voice changers, males just using female avatars without even trying to sound like a female character, even females playing males trying to look like females and I don't really see anyone treating it as if it's abnormal or being upset

Why are guys bothering to apply anyways? You do realize that half the people on earth on women, the girls have enough competition as is.

What if I want to play a character though? Sure, I could be a png/slideshow "animation" youtuber, but this is a bit more attractive to me (personally).

So your fucking monetized or partnered before your official debut
