/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

Hey anons, I'm working on my model/voice right now and want to know if I should try to scrub my cringe accent, or if this is good enough to stream.
Other critiques also welcome
https://voca.ro/1f8ZkRyRDJ62

>>16274570
Your have a nice voice, go ahead and get your stream reps

>>16274570
What's your accent anon? It's barely noticeable.
I think you sound nice but maybe try rush less when speaking? It sounded a bit like you were afraid to speak in a loud voice, but other than that nice voice.

>>16275551
Thanks will do

>>16276391
Southern burger, maybe it sounds worse to me because I'm conscious of it. Can definitely rush less, and yeah was trying to be quiet since some family are asleep

>>16277088
It sounds like a hint of Georgia accent but I could be wrong.

>>16274570
You may not want to hear this but your voice is pathetic, however it will get you views because you are a female and it sounds cute.
Dont try to get rid of the accent, lean into it, coomers want clearly defined tags to mark you with in their brains. Make sure to have a western or cowgirl themed avatar.

>>16277456
No, I want criticism. Any ideas on how to make it not pathetic?

/asp/ies are cute! Cute!

>>16274570
I personally like how you sound. Is it close to how you usually speak or full kayfabe? It can be exhausting to animate your speech like that after a few hours.

>>16277570
You're whispering and emotionless. You sound terrified but I can tell that you're not so you just sound like another boring femoid

>>16278184
Thanks, it's pretty close but I'm suppressing the accent a bit and I naturally have a very emotionless, almost monotone voice, I have to work really hard to put emotion into my words. Obviously I will need to work up to talking with emotion continuously.. I don't want to be a deadair streamer

>>16279433
Cool, thanks, I can work on being louder

Reminder to /asp/ies.
https://en.hololive.tv/audition

>>16282602
Isn't this open year-round?

>>16282679
Yes.

>>16282602
Are they really this desperate? This reads like a regular Indeed job ad complete with barebones requirements like only needing to stream 3 times a week and saying it's fine to do it after school

>>16283284
pretty sure that was in the previous auditions too, and you are applying for a job at a company complete with an interview that'll assess whether you're fit for the job

>>16283284
It's the exact same application for Myth and Council.

>>16283284
Same application it's always been

If I wanted to pngtube while I was working on my actual model, would there be a way to do an "idle vs talking" thing WITHOUT wasting precious live2d free trial days?

>>16284218
https://discord-reactive-images.fugi.tech/
If you're pngtubing you don't need to use Live2D.

>>16284218
>>16284257
Alternatively, use veadotube mini if you want to be more expressive than just bouncing up and down.

>>16284257
Woah I didn't know Sparkman was a chuuba

>>16284282
this is actually exactly what I was looking for, just a mouth open mouth closed sort of thing, thank you!

>>16274570
I'm a southerner too so I like your accent. You shouldn't feel like you need to hide it.
In fact, maybe this is just me talking, but you should either play into it a little bit more or cover it up entirely. Being kindof in the middle is not ideal, but that's just in my opinion. I kind of felt the same about Baelz when she was still new

>>16274570
I MUST know what your model is going to be

>>16282602
>You have a proven track record as a content creator (including, but not limited to, gaming, music, and illustration)
How much of a filter would this be if I have sparse online history? Do you expect they would be able to overlook this assuming I can prove my salt in the audition video?

>>16285625
>How much of a filter would this be if I have sparse online history?
You would be rejected immediately.
>Do you expect they would be able to overlook this assuming I can prove my salt in the audition video?
Unless you're lighting in a bottle at the level of Gura, no.

>>16285167
Holy fuck...me too. How many autistic southerners have we got in here?

>>16285625
You cannot prove your salt in the audition video. You will not do this. It's not a thing people are doing. Stop thinking like this. No one wants a complete amateur with zero experience creating content and no discernible talent.s

>>16285625
I personally know successful vtubers with >500 viewers who applied to Hololive and got rejected despite having years of content creation and incredible talent and skill. Hololive wont even glance at people like you.

Reminder that Hololive will also reject you if you're not exactly the type of person they want to play a certain character they've already decided on, regardless of your level of talent.

>>16286432
and to think all gura and kiara needed were vaginas

>>16282602
and I can continue to call you all Hololive rejects, NijiEN has no hopes for you unless you're a part of Elira's friend circle

>>16286432
See >>16286520. Sometimes you're just not the talent they are looking for and that's the reason for your rejection. Cover is known for their idol image so that's what you need to give them. If you can't make that content or enjoy it while you work they aren't going to pick you.

>>16286529
gura's roommate was more successful than 90% of hololive at the time of her reveal
kiara was probably one of the only extroverted girls with extensive idol and japan knowledge to apply for EN

>>16286709
ok let me correct
and to think all gura and kiara needed were to be weeabs with vaginas

>>16286789
If that's all it took there'd be hundreds of thousands of female weebs with a millions of subs.

stop feeding

>>16286789
based retard


anyway, you have to know how to sing to even be considered for holo, right?

>>16286877
are you trying to imply anyone in the first holo wave can sing

>>16286789
now you're being facetious, even Holocouncil despite their reception today has an extensive history in content creation. Holomyth themselves were not only high specced without vtuber experience but they had years of making content with the numbers to prove it. Gura had 1 million subs and Kiara had actual idol experience with actual music made to be sold.

Even if you look at council, just about all of them had incredible numbers and were chosen because of that and their talent. If you dont have both, it's unlikely Hololive would do anything to pick you.

>>16286877
>noel, ame, tons of Holos that needed lessons
it's not the only thing you need, just be entertaining anon and have something to back up the reason why they should hire you (not like they'll hire you anyways)

>>16286916
Ame got in despite her singing skills and was told by cover management to start taking singing lessons. whatever talent she had before was strong enough to make her a successful audition applicant and it was only after they'd committed to selecting her that they gave her the requirement to pick up singing.

>>16287003
She was the "smallest" HoloMyth relative to the others and was still one of the biggest Indies at the time. There weren't nearly as many people in the hundreds and she had just hit 200 and got one of the first custom 3D models and was definitely on her way to the top already. She also had like 5+ years of streaming experience on top of that.

>>16286520
Just apply guys, at the very least they will view your audition for 10 seconds. They watched a full minute of mine on average of 6 views.

>>16287368
Yeah and Ame was responsible for Silvervale existing too and Silvervale's currently one of the top vtubers in the west.

>>16284257
Wasn't expecting to run into my art brother in the promo vid for that

>>16287376
i just don't know what to fill my video with if not singing.
i think i just want to wait until the middle of the year until i apply

>>16287451
If you're going to sing, don't make it the entire video. Maybe 1min of the video, the rest should be introducing yourself, the concept idea you currently work with. Doing improv as a character, or simply talking about whatever enthusiastically (Ina said she talked about sushi her entire video).

>>16287526
i don't really want to sing since i..cannot sing and have never practiced it. but those are some good ideas otherwise, thankyou

What type of singing voice is this?

>>16289407
My money is on tenor, especially if you have trouble really projecting that lowest B

>>16289594
female tenor?

>>16289407
Listen, you can't just post a carrots screenshot and expect a Sudanese autism advocacy group to know what your range is. Several reasons:
1. We can't know if you're actually any good at your high and low notes off of a carrots post. Carrots can't tell if you're straining, it can't differentiate between squeaks and growls you manage to eke and actual usable range, it doesn't check that you can hit all notes continuously in the range, etc etc etc
2. Vocal type isn't just range, it's also where your voice sounds best. Being able to sing a C3 as a woman doesn't make you a contralto if your voice doesn't shine in your low notes, for example.
3. Your "type of singing voice" doesn't actually matter, caring if you're a tenor or a mezzo-soprano or whatever is just a meme. It really only matters if you're planning to sing opera, which is what the terms were invented for
Don't worry about your "vocal type", start trying to sing some songs you find on Carrots that are in this range you've just found. You'll get a sense for what's easy for you and sounds good in your voice, as well as which of these notes you can actually consistently hit. Then you can start recording yourself and listening to it to find what you need to improve in your singing voice.

all I know is the only singer who shares my exact good range is Voltaire

Who gives a fuck about your range or not. Make it in your range and just sing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tU-VJOzb-10

>>16290143
Bro you posted cringe

>>16290143
Jeff Hardy's fallen on some hard times damn

>>16289677
AH shit I misread it, but yeah basically, Soprano, same range as a tenor but an octave up, same applies with the difficulty on B if it exists, but another thing to consider for a female voice is just a lack of comfort with your chest voice, so you with instruction there's a chance you could develop either up or down. For now, without hearing you, I'd say practice as if you're a soprano and avoid the low B if it doesn't come out as easily as the rest of your notes. Like that other anon said, it's hard to say for sure without hearing what those notes sound like in your voice. However, voice type DOES matter, knowing the notes you can cover with a uniform tone is important to singing nicely, and pretty much entirely biological when it comes down to it, so it's in your best interest to name your instrument.

>a bunch of weebs larping as anime characters on twitch getting self conscious about what a website gimmick says about their singing range isn't already cringe

What should I change? I was thinking of making the hair messier and adding more highlights

>>16290504
Nothing. Start streaming.

>>16290504
Just stream. You can literally go like tomorrow, realize you don't even enjoy it, and this this is all a waste. Just stream.

>>16290504
I hate this episode

How the hell are you even supposed to "practice" singing anyway
You learn to project then its all just g3netics

>>16290775
Read the fucking pastebins in the OP desu

I'm having a short test stream in a few minutes, come hang out.
https://www.twitch.tv/eldiablorojo_vt

>>16290997
Stop streaming and figure out what the fuck you're doing. No one is going to watch you stream shitty games where the only things you say are
>oh shit
>yeah boy
over and over again.

>>16290997
1080p60fps is a great way to filter out all the poors and 3rd worlders, keep it up

>>16291260
Well now I have to check out this vod

>>16290997
this is awful. just quit

>>16290997
just fucking quit, you're not going to make it as a vtuber so I'm just gonna tell you to quit now to save some money

>>16290997
Everyone's already shit on it but I'm going to watch through it and figure out the best advice to impart on you, but it's already looking bad.

>>16290997
either you seriously do not understand what it takes to be a streamer or this is bait. where is the commentary? where is the entertainment? you are literally just playing a game and muttering noises once every 3 minutes.

>>16290997
>>16292324
The positive: Since you kept asking, the sound is fine, though the game could be a little louder. I think the point where you put it up so viewers could hear the soundtrack better was nearly the right level, find somewhere between that and the default you had.
The negative: Not sure where to begin. Best way to summarize it is you have things to say but there's zero substance, and the energy is really low, feels like I'm sitting next to the weird kid from school that my mom says I should be nice to. Are you inspired by WoolieVersus by any chance? Really feels like it, and that's not a good thing, they literally do everything wrong and mostly coast by on Woolie's old cred. Your voice also affects your delivery, and it's kinda low. When you want to talk about something, you need to know how to stretch it, or find better ways to relate to the viewer. I'm sure Capcom's old soundboards are very cool, but that doesn't really say anything on its own.
Your model is kinda fuckin shit, I can tell it's actually Live2D because it has the standard breathing cycle but you didn't do anything beyond that and blinking, aesthetically it feels like effort was put in for the sake of having something unique but it's just mediocre and isn't very nice to look at. It's possible to have a nice looking model that took a little effort using a bit of improvisation and actually taking some reference (or even just copying) a good thing but you decided to make it from scratch despite being an amateur, and effort doesn't translate to quality if you don't know how to direct it properly. The actual theme of the model is alright, but again it's executed poorly. You can photobash a PNG and it'll look much better.
Your stream layout seems unfinished based on the choice of backdrop, so I'm going to let that slide but if it isnt, I hope you feel how passive aggressive I'm being about it. There are plenty of resources or even layouts that people give out for free that you can use to make it look nice, especially fitting too with the theme you're going for.
I won't really comment on the choice of game since it was meant to be a test stream, but for future reference arcade runs of FGs aren't really interesting.

>>16277088
Be confident in your accent, southern accents are cute.

My hololive audition has been getting more views. Does it mean anything?

I'm curious about when you decide start a vtuber career, will you create a whole new twitch/youtube account, or just change current account name and info?

>>16295780
Not until you get an interview invite. If you want to get more paranoid start analysing how many minutes they watch on average.

>>16289881
Your range is just what you have to work with, but what matters is your prima voce. Which can't really be determined with an online test. It's basically what part of your range literally sounds best and where you have the most skill.

>>16280948
I have a pretty monotone voice too anon. You could use it to your advantage though if you are good with deadpan humor!

>>16296020
It depends on the person, normally it's a new account, but if you haven't posted any hot takes or personal info there isn't really that much wrong with using a pre-existing account

>>16282602
>Disgustingly pixelated banner at the top.
Why? Even if they were trying to reduce load times, it wasn't necessary to do that much.

>>16296020
Most of my accounts are new, only one that isn't so far is my Steam account but I'm thinking of changing it because apparently name changes stick to your account forever on a certain site and there's some HORRENDOUS shit tied to one of them.

>>16302504
What the fuck did you do?

>>16302536
Used my incredibly distinct Steam name for a questionable community when I was a teenager and did some really bad and embarrassing shit in front of some incredibly spiteful people which IIRC still held the grudge last year, after 8 years. I don't keep tabs on them but the one friend I kept from there brings it up to me whenever I'm mentioned.

What's a reasonable budget to be spending on youtube ads?

>>16303545
20% of the money you've made with streaming so far.

>>16302504
Apparently I can send a data removal request, good enough I suppose. I'm not a cheater, so they'll do it. Seems like they'll have a big orange banner saying you removed some shit but nobody from back then could reasonably tie it together without looking like a major schizo with only present day information and access.

>>16303895
just make a separate account for streaming, what's so special about your name that you can't let go of it? If there are still people that are obsessed with you isn't it better to not test your luck? If you make a new name even if someone comes for your throat you can pretend they're schizoids for even suggesting it's you

>>16305097
Nothing, it's just more convenient if I didn't have to switch accounts since I play with my friends regularly.

>>16305214
So I'm super curious what possible stuff you could have done.
You could consider making a family account, so that it's not tied (I don't know if it's possible to see family links though)
Data removal AND family account is probably safest. Especially if you say someone DMed you on another site (it's what I did with my accounts that share my current name. I pinged Mods and said an ex-partner was checking stuff online from old accounts, and I was trying to wipe them. Most were cool with that)

>>16303895
Any link for the data removal, wanna check the details.

>>16305530
https://steamid.uk/ has all your old usernames and friend history, data removal button is on the bottom of the page.
https://steamid.io/ will hold onto any old custom URLs you had that could tie back to your current url, dunno if they'll respond in the feedback section.
>>16305437
Seems like the only place you can see the family link is on the clientside page of the game but I'm going to do some testing.

>>16305742
Yeah, doesn't seem like you can see any family association. There's a single game I wanted to play that doesn't work for family sharing but i'll live with that.

just wanted to quickly thank everyone here
i've used threads like this for a lot of advice, especially when getting off the ground, and while my channel is still tiny it's almost been a year of streaming nonstop. never would've started without the positivity i find here (of all places lol) so thank you all

When applying to corpos, is it a debuff for whatever reason to have your PL be regular on-cam YouTubing?

>>16307777
no, their assessing your entertainment value which is independent of whether they can see your real face or not
i guess it wouldnt be good if you were doing physical humor though

>>16307777
it doesnt matter, there are on cam streamers who applied to corpos and got in. All they wanna see is a history in content creation.

how helpful is having an existing network/group of fairly active (on social media) friends in vtuber endeavors (e.g. being friends with twitter artists with at least 4 digit followers)

>>16308774
Given the nepotism in corpos and the fact you can see bigger indie VTubers heavily advertising for their smaller friends, I'd say it's definitely a leg up vs. those starting from the ground up. But it's not a be-all and end-all if you don't have them.

I know blue yetis are a giant meme but a blue snowball was put up for only 40 (canadian) dollars where I live would that be worth or are they just garbage

>>16310455
Snowballs are crap. They were good 5 years ago but they have so many driver and volume issues now they're not worth it.

>>16310455
Condensers in general have the issue that they will pick up literally everything.

>>16310455
Not worth it. You're better off saving up for a decent XLR mic and audio interface.

>>16310591
ok that's very very good to know because I have a lot of ambient noise thank you

Speaking of mics. Do I need a Cloudlifter if my mic is a Shure SM58 and using the Scarlett Solo? Or does the Solo provide enough power to the SM58? The Cloudlifter is almost the same price as the Solo.

>>16310798
I've ran a Podmic through the Solo without an additional amplifier before and that's even less hot than an SM58.

>>16310887
Thanks, anon.

>>16310798
Get a Klark Teknik Mic Booster CT1. Its cheaper

Viewerfag here, what's the etiquette for saying you're leaving?

>>16310983
gotta go thanks for the stream!~ xoxoxo :3

>>16310455
I had nothing but problems with my Snowball. Save the money to buy a good secondhand XLR later.

>>16308774
Super helpful.
Firstly, they can raid/support you, which gives you an initial flurry. Secondly, they'll have fans, which will see your content (because of the link), so they're more likely to become your fans.
Thirdly, if they follow you, it lends you legitimacy, because obviously they wouldn't be following a random shitheel

ok but what about a 20 dollar snowball

>>16310798
I use a 58 without a cloudlifter. If you haven’t bought the Scarlett yet you could get a U-Phoria UM2. It’s what I use and I know for sure you don’t need a cloudlifter for it.

>>16311312
It's better than nothing but it's still better to save that twenty bucks towards a much better mic

>>16310455
I have one and I say for 40 bux it's a decent buy.
Don't buy them new, but 40 canadian bux for a used one sounds decent.
It'll get the job done.

>people still buy USB mics when a UM2 and XM8500 cost like 60 bucks
why?

>>16311689
UM2 itself is almost 60 bux, isn't it?

>>16311778
38 yurobucks right now
Is Behringer shit more expensive over in the States?

if i already own a blue snowball that was gifted to me years ago, is it worth spending the money to upgrade or is it fine for starting out?

>>16311689
Because I don't know any better
>usb mics are uber expensive because of normies needing to do video calls
>regular mics are the same price as ever
huh

>>16311899
literally anything is fine starting out as you will be streaming to 0 viewers

>>16311946
no i wont. answer the fucking question without being a cunt

>2views pretend to know what cover wants
>implying you need any previous content creation knowledge
> implying cover wouldn’t look at your audition
lmaoing at the salty crabs
t. have my second call next week without creating any content so far except the audition tape

>>16312026
great streamer attitude

>>16312026
Literally anything is fine nigger. People stream using headset mics.
maybe lay out some blankets for cheapo sound treatment if your room is barren.

Tyler1 still uses a headset mic

>>16312063
I think people forgot that Hololive looks for entertainers and not streamers. Plenty of holo members didn't have any real streaming experience like Mori, she got in because she was kinda eccentric and wacky and she makes decent music.

>>16312154
>karen
>eccentric and wacky
she is one of the most boring women on the planet and drains the energy out of any room she is in by existing what are you TALKING about

>>16312184
eccentric and wacky can mean she's a fucking weirdo, which is true

>>16312099
because le epic doomer why bother caring about doing anything well because no ones gonna watch you anyway lole!!!! attitude is so much better
>>16312119
thank you this is the kind of response i wanted. i will stream with my fucking snowball until my success justifies further expenses

>>16312215
the only weird things about her are her fetishes

>>16312063
If you get in, can you give an ambiguous signal in your debut?

nice larp
t. passed first round interviews

How long does it usually take to reach affiliate? I know some vtubers who literally met all the requirements other than hours streamed on their first day and just had to do random streams over the next few days, and even some who had more than enough followers before their first stream. Meanwhile I'm still struggling to get to 50 followers

Can you do react content on YouTube live? Like watching YouTube videos with your audience?

>>16312869
It really should not take you more than a month.
>>16312935
You can but expect to get your stream shut down if you're noticed and have your livestream privileges suspended for a few days.

Elgato Wave 3 any good?

>>16313331
I have it and it's really nice. Comes with its own mixer software and recently updated to use VST plugins.

>>16312869
really depends on how you're reaching out to others
i started from pretty much 0 and didn't tell anyone i knew that i was becoming a vtuber so i basically appeared on twitter and would just interact with other people when i wasn't streaming and some people stopped by my streams
for me it took me a month; i think i sat at around 2 ccv for the most part and then got like a 12 person raid that i held onto for the most part which pushed me over the 3 average viewer threshhold

>>16313206
Got it, so should switch to twitch if you want to do something like that. Thanks anon!

>>16313206
I've been streaming for about~2.5 weeks and almost 30 followers, usually 3ish viewers. Hope that's on track to affiliate by the end of this month

>>16313698
That's a pretty good pace. Much better than /asp/ies who try to grind out streams to zero viewers.

I live in an apartment right behind the train, it’s pretty loud and comes about every 20 minutes. Still looking at mic options. Am I not gonna make it?

>>16314687
Are you entertaining?

>>16314687
Turn it into a meme and add a train counter. Each time the train goes by mute your mic and play an animation of a train rolling through. When it passes, unmute and take a shot as you increase the counter.

>>16314687
>>16314742
>chuuba has been streaming for 4 trains long

>>16312869
Affiliate is a meme. Anyone can get it in a few weeks. The real problem is getting average viewers past 1. It doesn't matter how many followers you have, most of them will not watch you. That applies even to the biggest Twitch channels.

>>16314742
I haven't streamed yet, but I live right by the railroad in my town and whenever I have company over and we can't hear each other over the train we just resort to making train honks at each other until we can hear each other again. Hope that helps.

>>16312063
>>16312607
You’re both larping.
t. Mumei

>>16314939
You need to have average 3+ views to get affiliate...doesn't make sense to say anyone can do it and then say it's hard to do one of the literal requirements

>>16315496
Get back to your singing practice.
t. Omegaα.

>>16314939
That being said I have about 2.8average right now

>>16290143
Not Juggalo Powered Giraffe

>>16315518
You can get affiliate and then go back to 1 viewer average. Your affiliate doesn't go away even when that happens. It's not exactly hard to understand.

>>16310983
I honestly prefer you don’t say anything, announcing you’re leaving has this weird implication like you’re carrying the stream somehow. If that’s actually the case, then I’m doing a bad job. Just my two cents. Probably less relevant if we’re talking real deal 2views though.

>>16295780
Mine has gotten more and no email so can't say desu.

>>16308774
It doesn’t even need to be in vtuber endeavors. Being a part of any community with any amount of streamers or social media presence or even just content creation is huge. A part of this is a weed-out process for the kinds of people who are gonna make it though. Being part of a community that would support you in streaming endeavors requires you to be the kind of person who’ll be successful at streaming: outgoing, creative, personable, you get the gist.

What makes a model design something that people want to draw?
This is anecdotal at best, but I’ve generally observed that a good part of it might boil down to the way the design is rendered by the artist, and also the general concept mud either be interesting or invoke certain emotions.
Makes me wonder if there’s any videos or good reads on psychology of character design…

>>16317403
>spoiler
Damn, tough luck there. Well, if you were successful, at least you can go into this with some confidence you're gonna make it. Curious though, why go for vtubing if you've got real name rep out in the world? Like especially if you're male, you could probably have just as much success being a cam streamer. I'm asking knowing that there's possibly an artistic or creative reason, but I want you to really defend it to see if it makes sense to you, if the benefits outweigh the costs.

>>16318074
I see proko post videos about character design every once in a while from guest hosts, maybe start there?

>>16274570
get a better mic this is pretty good though

>>16310983
Nobody fucking cares if you leave

>>16318074
Let me get home from work I wrote a thing about Spamton which should be applicable to chuubas

>>16318700
It was spic Facebook so i doubt anyone will find out if i limit myself to english posting and avoid the few scenes i was involved in. As to why vtubing over facecam streaming, it may sound generic but i like the idea of playing an anime character, plus, i'd like to take my new chance to be as anonymous as possible

>>16310983
You really don't have to say anything assuming you don't know anyone in the chat or the streamer on a personal level. If you really feel the need to say something just keep it brief

if i have awesome charisma and im the best will my holo audition be at least viewed and not immediately get thrown into the garbage once they see i have 0 streaming experience

>>16319623
They'll probably viewer your video at least once since they're bored.

>>16319662

Is there any notable difference in the two Vroid body types? I can only see some slight shadowing changes.

>>16319146

Are you really that autistic? One is male and one is female.

>>16320970
Both of the bodies in the image are for the female model, though.

>>16320309
Remember, the dog whistle is saying Amber in your debut.

>>16321956
i promise ill stream everyday do you think ill have better chances if i tell them im 4'10 and they can do whatever they want to me if i can have subaru

>>16290997
Fuck the naysayers, I will agree model needs a little more work and layout could be more thematic (shit like a wrestling ring). Otherwise I like the idea, Luchador that plays retro fightan games? that's bitching. Your voice works with it too but you gotta remember luchadors are always at the centre of everyone attention, you gotta be more boisterous my man, like an old school anime protagonist. also look into a signature catch phrase, people used to go crazy for the rocks catchphrase. Good luck anon!

Normal voice: https://voca.ro/18ivmffAm2eN
"Chill stream" voice: https://voca.ro/1hUOBGeu6hQS

I'm trying to fix my nasally tone and get rid of any accent but not sure if it's working...the second voice is what I sound like when I'm more calm, usually in a chill/comfy stream. (Pls ignore bad quality, I had to record on my phone and couldn't raise my voice as much as I do on stream)

>>16323885

your voice works well for narration but not streaming

Chuubas please stop reading a prompt. Unless you're going to script out 4-5 hours of content to just read, this is fucking retarded. Ad lib 2 minutes of food instead. Narration is retardedly easy.

>>16323953
Hmmm interesting....maybe I'll try audiobook narration lol
I'm usually 10x more excited for streams, I'm actually trying to dial that down because I don't want to be obnoxiously loud adhd zoomer all the time

>>16324002
>>16323885
https://voca.ro/11AicKqPu4QO
Is this a better example?

>>16324391
Your voice is fine. Get a png and start streaming. Lean more into the "hey chat let me tell you something" aside gimmick where you give a short 1 minute long hot take like your thoughts on watermelons and your viewers will love it and it makes for good clippable moments.

>>16324526
I actually already started streaming! I've never thought of doing an aside like that though, thanks for the idea, I'll try to develop it more and see where that goes!

Hello friends! I would kindly like some feedback on my recording here. Please be honest but fair, thank you!

https://voca.ro/1ilHdbtiBd0o

>>16325609

You sound young and ESL, that's not necessarily a bad thing.
If you get more confidence in how you speak you could pull off a soft boy vibe like Ike.

why the fuck is your mic still so fucking quiet?

>>16323885
Do you do ASMR? Because imo you could definitely pull it off

>>16327941
I am sorry! I do not know how else to make it louder I have already tried to make it more louder. If you have any suggestions or recommendations to make it louder that will be appreciated

>>16326453
toby said all the testers thought spamton was scary so it's kind of an unfair lightning in a bottle scenario bu also he looks like a tumblr sexyman which you dont do for your chuuba unless you want to prey on teen girls

>>16328545
>tumblr sexyman
i've seen this thrown around outside of this site but what the fuck does it actually mean? any concrete examples so i know what i can avoid if i don't want to be that archetype?

>>16328620

>>16328620
It's a bit hard to define exactly, but the most common description is a character that's has delinquent and/or evil features but has some softness aka shows some positive emotion or sympathy. Sans Undertale and Komaeda from DR are both also considered sexymen.

Hey folks I was testing out a possibility of doing a different accent or inflection. What do you guys think?

https://voca.ro/1gKsDRqrpcs6

>>16328620
I'm not them, but I remember nearly ten years ago, wow on tumblr people had the hots of the Onceler from The Lorax and Jack Frost from some other family animated film. So avoid looking like those two, I guess?

>>16328545
>tumblr sexyman
Are people horny for Spamton??

>>16328930
yes hahahaha

>>16328862
It's fine, get a png and start streaming. No one really gives a shit about voices and the only real useful feedback you're going to is on the quality and general speech interruptions like excessive uhhhhs and aaahh. And /asp/ies stop giving a shit about perfect design match for your voice. Stream for 4 months and people will just instinctively connect your voice to your model.

your accent is whatever, no one really cares. just make sure it's sustainable for you over the course of a 4-5 hour stream or however long you plan to go. if it's not sustainable, turn it into a bit or have fun with it and jump in and out. content creation has no hard and fast rules. just fucking start jesus.

>>16328988
>someone asks about their voice
>"start streaming"
answer the question they asked like a normal person. if they have problems with delivering on streams then you can say all that other shit

>>16328029
No, but maybe I should try, although I have no idea if there's much demand for that

>>16329925
Give it a go, i have faith in you anon

/asp/ies your actual voice does not matter. do a 6 month review of your first or debut stream and you'll notice your voice changes over time. stop worrying about meaningless shit so much.

now cue the retards who will jump in with made up hypothetical situations.

>>16330935
I wouldn't watch someone whose mic or voice makes my ears bleed from poor settings or if they're eastern euro trying to sound cute

>>16331187
>from poor settings
so like i said. your actual voice doesn't matter. make sure you have good settings. make sure it's not too loud or too quite, don't fuck with EQ settings if you don't know what you're doing and doing put on shit tons of filters.
>or if they're eastern euro trying to sound cute
you aren't their audience. a single viewerfaggot from /asp/ disliking you means nothing in the grand scheme of things.

One of the hardest parts of model design is coming up with “incidental” things like jacket patches or hair ornaments.
I am trying so hard to avoid cat paws since one element is the sci-fi floating cat ears and cable tail.

any outfit ideas? drawing a blank here haha, but i like the design well enough

Remember anons, stereotype+aesthetic

>>16336002
thanks :D been on 4chan a while, you get kinda used to it after a while :p kinda part of being a girl on the internet i suppose. that's why i usually don't show it, the only reason they would even assume is because the character's female

>>16336017
>wasting your years after 25 on a 4chan vtuber board
I don't know why I'm here either

>>16336128
everyone's allowed to have hobbies dude. if watching vtubers is what you're happy with, and you're (at least mostly) happy with where you're at in life, then i don't see a problem with it. hell, my dad's nearing 50, he makes foam swords and baps people in a park dressed up like a knight, but he's happy with it. i don't see anything wrong with being into stupid things if you yourself aren't stupid.

>>16336128
Lol I know why I'm here. I'm an /asp/ie and none of my IRL friends are interested in this stuff.
I've read forums since 2002, bummed around 4chan since 2006, paid ten bucks to read and post on what is ostensibly a comedy forum, tried all of the major social media sites and just genuinely enjoy 4chan the most after all this time, much to my own surprise.

>>16336002
that's a real weird boogeyman if i heard one
it sounds more like that one guy who shits on anyone for posting about designs and tells everyone to start streaming immediately

>>16336415
go back to your trashcan

>>16336128
I'm on /vt/ because discussing the indie landscape is really difficult anywhere else, I even found a forum with a few indies that regularly post and they still only talk about Hololive.

>>16336415
I haven't started yet myself, but that always came across as bad advice to me. I watch vtubers to watch a streamer puppeting an avatar.

>>16336461
>I even found a forum with a few indies that regularly post and they still only talk about Hololive
I actually wonder how much of a unicorn a vtuber who has never watched any Hololive, Nijisanji, or Vshojo is. I know of at least one, but that's it.

>>16335770
the mess

>>16336536
i gotta admit, i've never watched a single vtuber in my life, outside of clips randomly recommended to me on youtube. i mostly want to start because A) art fun B) something to do, and C) always wanted to stream

>>16335770
p cute, but the hair being the same color as the vest is a bit distracting. i'm sure with shading and texturing it would look fine, but right now they blend together a bit.

>>16336729
true, flat colors are a little finicky though. planning to make the tentacles/hair really shiny, fading to a lighter gray. hopefully with shading it'll look better lol

>>16336799
anyways, gonna add finishing touches like gloves and boots and whatnot, then i'll start the ridiculously tedious process of shading every single layer ;_;

>>16336799
It looks solid. I'm surprised I haven't seen more vtubers with Splatoon hair already

>>16329114
Okay dually noted. I'll drop the accent and finish my model.

>>16336637
Looks pretty standard
>>16336899
Some solid advice from an artist doing their own model to another, don't do more than you would on a regular drawing if you don't have to. I see plenty of other artists who try to be way too clean or precise with their coloring and spend way more time than they realistically need to. You don't want to end up spending more time managing layers than actually drawing and filling it in.

>>16336713
I wanted to stream way before I ever got into vtubers and even tried a few times, big issue was time commitment and connection quality though, but neither of them are going to be problems now.

Been streaming for about a year without much luck in gaining viewers. Any suggestions on what more I could possibly do to add to my stream? Any critique of my voice, model, or my commentary is welcome.

https://www.twitch.tv/piri_piri - Browse through vods for an idea.

>>16337328
>Dota and LoL front and center
we've got issues right off the bat son
i'll actually watch you for a bit and figure it out though

>>16337328
before i waste time watching your vods, tell me why viewers should watch you.

>>16337328
give up. you're beyond saving. if you've been doing this exact same thing for a year you don't have what it takes to be a streamer.

How to get twitter followers?

>>16337328
>LoL
>barely talk
>non-LoL game
>just voice the characters
there's so much dead air in your vod
no one is going to stick around if they happen to watch

>>16337328
I think if you watched through your own vods, you would have noticed the commentary problem immediately, or rather the lack of commentary at all. Your voice and model are nice and actually fit together when you make noise. You really REALLY have to consider what kind of audience actually watches dota/lol streamers, and how those streamers actually interact with their audience too. You should probably watch other low view people in those categories and get an idea of how they can hold their viewers, perhaps in the 20-50 range to get started, but IMO your model probably doesn't mesh at all with the Dota audience, maybe with the LoL audience though? You need to completely rethink your approach, and also figure out how to fill all the dead air, because talking when nobody else is speaking to you is a big skill for streaming early on that'll help make you approachable, not just so you have actual content for people to discover but so viewers coming in don't have to feel any responsibility to get interaction from you.

this has to be bait.

the dude doesn't even watch his own vods. he goes live plays games for himself and then logs off. he's not even streaming correctly and half his vods abruptly start in the middle of a game when he realizes that he could be live. a year of this and he doesn't have the self awareness? piss off some people are unfit and this guy is one of those unfit to be a streamer.

>>16338017
>he goes live plays games for himself and then logs off. he's not even streaming correctly and half his vods abruptly start in the middle of a game when he realizes that he could be live. a year of this and he doesn't have the self awareness?
shoulda opened with this then
doesnt change that he came here because he finally realized he needed an intervention

gave her some boots and gloves

>>16338017
are you the same guy that unironically uses the term vchanner because you sound about just as abrasive and angry as that dude
there are people who have stuck with streaming for way longer with just as many viewers; i can't imagine he would still be streaming if he didn't enjoy it
>>16337328
i watched a bit of your eastward vod and i would say that you should really think about interjecting your own thoughts about the game as you're going through it. you kinda just read all the dialogue but that doesn't really tell me anything about you as a person. i saw you go into an entire shop menu and buy the whole place out with the deadest look on your face
tell your audience what's going through your mind when you play, don't just act like an audiobook

Is there a way to translate this without doing a translator note?

>二と六を出せば。。。
>ni to roku wo daseba...
>ばー
>baa

It can be interpreted as both a simple question about what will happen, or a pun since it combines both Mea's "ba" and Warabe's "baa" to make babaa(hag).

>>16338334
first time seen a streamer who doesn't want to be a streamer? there are thousands like him silently streaming league for years. he's one of them with an anime avatar. they will never make it.

>>16338428
but he's finally spoken up here, assuming it's really him. if he just gives up in the end, the advice we give will still be useful for other people in the thread

>>16338467
i have doubts it's actually him. my money is still on Zylphie being a fucking retard. he hasn't responded to a single reply just like his streams. he goes live does his thing and leaves. he comes here drops his link and leaves.

>>16338522
I actually had a big break from this thread roughly after Zylphe's first meltdown from everyone shitting on him, is he actually still mad?

>>16338578
he's come back two or three times since getting banned the first time but not recently.

>>16338522
i mean the guy is currently live right now so i'd imagine he's not trying to reply at the same time
>>16338399
i have no idea who either of these are but i'll go by context here
so if mea is asking "If I get 2 and 6..." and warabe is extending her sentence, the way i'd do it without adding a TL note i guess would be to follow the next line with "If granny gets 2 and 6..."
alternatively you could maybe replace they "I" with "granny" and use font color to represent the interjection?
weird place to ask

>>16338663
>use font color to represent the interjection?
Thanks. I'll go with that.
It's not that weird. Learning about Clipping will be necessary for anyone wanting to make it here. While I doubt most of the people here will try to join the Japanese market, there are probably puns like that in the english side too.

>>16339084
yeah in my experience with marketing myself towards Japanese people on twitter, I've found that they are likely to follow and interact with things you do in Japanese but that really doesn't help with viewership unless you actually can speak it. I've tagged some stuff with jp tags when they were relevant and I'd regularly get interactions from Japanese users but I kinda stopped doing that content
however, with clipping in mind tat does give me some future ideas to think about

>>16311689

How do I get my avatar drawn in porn of my fetish without being a horny streamer or commissioning it myself
this is a very serious question

>>16339765
no, just make it part of your character. not your model design but your streaming persona.
>>16339824
anonymous skebs.

how do you "fill dead air"? i can understand reacting to what's happening in game or even staying quiet for certain intense parts but how do you fill in for "boring" parts in-game? (e.g. strip mining in minecraft) can you just talk about literally whatever to fill in the air? (e.g. "oh yeah i've been having nothing but burgers for lunch recently haha")

>>16339844
You do it by being a good entertainer and conversationalist (even if it's a conversation with yourself assuming you've got no chat to bounce off of).

Do YOU want to listen to some guy talk about eating a lot of burgers lately?

>>16339844
>can you just talk about literally whatever to fill in the air? (e.g. "oh yeah i've been having nothing but burgers for lunch recently haha")
yes.

That is too many hamburgers.

>>16339844
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aByfahvXLB4
one of Gura's more popular clips is just her talking about how she prepares a burger while playing minecraft.

>>16339885
do you have any tips to give to a socially awkward loner on how to be a good conversationalist? is there a good way to practice talking for streaming? personally i've just been trying to let my thoughts slip out more often on top of having more visceral reactions to whatever media i'm consuming, though i'm not yet actually streaming so i'm not sure if that's any help

>>16339837
i was thinking of pairing it with an airhead persona since i’m also naturally really stupid lmao do you think it works?

>>16337328
your model looks like shit when it turns and you don't talk much, talk more you absolute buffoons

>>16340094
it can but stupid on its own isn't usually a gimmick that lasts long term. you need some additional aspects to your streaming persona on top of it.

>>16340090
To the point of these anons >>16339894 >>16339930 any topic can, reasonably, be a "good topic" but you have to actually bring something of interest to the table for that to be the case. Talking about mundane things like "I've had burgers a lot lately" isn't what I'd consider some grand conversation topic, but at the same time Gura talking about some convoluted multi-layered nonsense approach to turning a McDonalds combo into three or four meals worth of food peppered with funny anecdotes/comments to accentuate it (i.e. the bit about a refrigerated McD patty being hard enough that she could dent a wall by throwing it) suddenly turns what would be a mundane story into a clippable one.

Honestly, at least IMO, so much of being a good conversationalist comes down to having varied, interesting experiences that you can speak at length about. The best way to become a better conversationalist is simply to put yourself into positions that you can later bring up in a conversation.

What do you guys feel about those 3D create-a-vtuber models? I hate them, they all look samey and cheap, and it gives me the impression that the person behind it isn't passionate about vtubing and is just trendhopping.

It sucks that the Twitch VTuber directory is flooded with these

>>16340320
I only hate it when the edited textures look cheap or when their hair is made up of poorly highlighted and visible gross clumps

>>16337328
You've got a decent voice but you don't really talk.

I've re-watched my own VODs from time to time and most of the tangents I go on sort of start like this.

"What did I do today? Did I wake up early? Late? Did I eat breakfast? Speaking of breakfast, what's my favorite meal of the day? What do I normally eat at that time? What's my favorite food? etc etc."

It isn't something I consciously do (and this isn't a real example) but maybe it gives some insight as to what thought process you can use to better fill dead air. These don't have to be back-to-back-to-back motormouthed nonsense but just try and talk normally and branch of from there.

oh and stop playing MOBAs or no one will ever watch you. ever. unless you're pro or already have a big enough audience to act as a buffer once a bunch of people leave, no one is interested.

>>16340320
use them as a stepping stone to a proper commissioned model.

don't use any other 3d maker other than vroid because there are a LOT of cheap 3d model makers with predatory terms and conditions that could fuck you up in the long run like giving up rights to your character design for the company to use.

big one to avoid is Live3D which is run by a sketch chinese company that's ripping off Live2D's name but with a 3d model maker instead.

>>16340320
Depends on what you're talking about. I've seen some very good custom vroid models. But the keyword is "custom." You've got to work on it. You have to sculpt the hair, paint the skin, design the clothes and textures, etc. I'd suggest watching videos of japanese design process on these.

>>16339438
1min average

>>16340821
Vroid is one thing, stuff like reality app is really offensively standardised though.

Are there any decent laptops that can handle streaming? I wanted to build my own pc even before the whole chuuba thing but the gpu shit makes it impossible for me atm. I don’t plan on playing any games super demanding so it seems like a good option to me

>>16342750
No

>>16342820
Okay

>>16342750
Streaming console games with a capture card? Sure. Using a laptop in conjunction with a PC that actually plays the games? I've seen it done. Only a laptop though? Fat chance, you're gonna burn a hole through your desk.

I can definitely go the capture card route since I have a lot of console games so thanks for that suggestion. Would it still be impossible to play a small 30 minute indie game though?

Part of the problem is that both the GPU and CPU are gonna be working hard just for the stream software and Live2D (though I'm only assuming you're using L2D since you clearly have money, but 3D would have similar constraints for facetracking processing) and that's already going to be a pain for a compact machine like a laptop, even a powerful one. My mid-spec PC when running Live2D and OBS doesn't play nice with games that normally run 40-60fps when I play them casually.
