Live in 5 minutes.

Good morning/never slept but will soon, /asp/. Orange Cat here, anyone want to check in about anything?

If you're curious I haven't streamed in over a month because of menhera, mostly drug abuse and binging. I also haven't taken my meds in 6 days. But hey, I seriously respect anyone who has the courage to talk about their recovery and problems Live. It's incredibly "genuine and warm" as long as you can keep it positive (or catch yourself).

Can't say I'm particularly invested in /asp/ anymore though. Beyond collabing with and commissioning art from my oishi Mashimyu and other functional non-toxic anons.

Oh yeah, if I do start accommodating an /asp/ie Discord, Minecraft server, and Collabs... mmmm I really can't be bothered to shill it every thread. The crabs and toxins are not worth putting up with on a daily, continuous basis. Especially after what happened with Mashimyu I have no need to thicken my skin further, my priority is physical recovery and then to stream more again. I'm pretty sure those of you that were willing to or interested already messages me or used the Google Doc, it's not hard to find. I have zero need for online anonymity and schizos, I'll come by occasionally to announce projects and resources outside of OP though. Keep staying strong, anon.

Also the listfag is on the right track, but would be able to help the /asp/ community much more by hosting active collabs or making Discord/Minecraft servers. I respect listfag's diligence. The next thing that needs to go after babiniku un-uprising, is probably fostering anonymity. You seriously cannot be shy about your brand if you want to "make it" with the amount of over-saturation the field. Thankfully, basically everyone is menhera so once you take care of that you're already ahead of the crowd.

>zero chat engagement and self awareness, streams because heard it gets a lot of attention (read: numberfags) and money
>afk's and does nothing but gameplay
>no original content creation whatsoever
>1/100th the effort of average does-stream aspie
Your average normie streamer, I'm sure you've seen them ontop of the uploaded auditions for Holosanji.

I'll namefag nowadays too. Sick of the falseflagging and shitty 4chan detective games. It'd be hypocritical of me not to either. Don't like it, don't watch. There's a pause and x button for a reason, it'd be a lot less effort than whatever projection sperging schizos do. Never show weakness, once you back down and let your fear show it's over. Just look at dog and bear attacks, people are no different. So like, stop doubting yourself, /asp/.

Keep staying strong... hmmph.

What is /asp/?

A thread for aspiring vtubers! Whether your goal is to make the journey as an independent streamer or to gain experience and build a portfolio for agency auditions. Let's help each other grow and make it. Indies are welcome to selfpost, but shill responsibly. Share your knowledge, insights, feedback, discuss what has worked and what hasn't worked for you. And always remember to do your research before posting personally identifying information. That includes both in this thread and in your audition applications to agencies.

FAQ:
>Do I need a fully rigged model to be a vtuber?
Nope! You can get started as a simple .png character!

>I want to learn how to rig Live2D models, where do I go?
Brian Tsui (of Iron Vertex), Kira Omori and the official Live2D YouTube channels have many tutorials available.

>Where can I find artists/riggers?
vtuber.gg, ArtStation, DeviantArt, Twitter, Reddit, Skeb.jp, etc.

>I just want to get started, can I buy pre-made models?
Yes! Live2D models can be purchased off nizima.com (Live2D's official marketplace) or booth.pm (general Japanese indie artist website). Be sure to check compatibility with your facial tracking software!

>Where can I learn how to digital market myself?
https://learndigital.withgoogle.com/digitalgarage

>Where can I find some good games to stream?
https://twitchtracker.com/games

>Twitch or YouTube?
The general rule of thumb is Twitch if your content is primarily based on livestreaming and YouTube if your content is primarily pre-recorded and edited.

>Do you think there's an audience for X, Y, Z content?
First, ask yourself if you would watch a streamer of your skill and experience. Second, do a check on social media and look to see if other streamers are already creating similar content. Don't limit yourself to vtubers, include traditional real life streamers to scope out a potential audience.
