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
https://sullygnome.com/

>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.

Oh hey, bodysuit anon. It looks perfectly fine, great at that. Just be careful to not tunnel vision on a specific area and indeed keep line size the same for that kind of style. If it's something you want to attempt, varying size lines have a really unique and eye-catching look, but I'd leave that for later.

Yeah looking up "vroid male" did not raise my hopes in the slightest. Nothing but too pretty to punch fag boys and that isnt a girl with the occasional scaled down head but the chin of a crackhead.

Again not my forte but if it were me I'd prioritize a high-quality PNG and rely on personality and voice instead of catering to the niche. I'm a babi because I like anime girls, my viewers are probably 1:3 female to male and no one has a problem with it. If anything they think I'm cute or just dismiss it as "oh boy another weeb, ur pretty cool tho".

When streamers say "just be yourself" they mean be true to the things you want to do and not just do things because they'll get you views. You will burn out that way fast. If you like to do RPGs, play those. The technical aspects of growth like creating a persona that's entertaining, networking, and other things are something layered on top of that. Viewer feedback is important from actual viewers (basically not from NGMI chuubas here)

Hmm I never really considered the "make it" thing due to how late in the game it is and oversaturated the market is. I've just been being myself and utilizing streaming as an extension of what I like and want to do already like gaming and peer advocacy. The "make it" definition is probably highly subjective but indeed I am quite a lot happier now and streaming means a lot to me. If make it means getting accepted into a company that's not something I expect to happen ever, it hasn't been helpful in the slightest to have expectations or rely on not-yourself for me. Even if it's advertising, funding, or tech support. I do want to mention how it's been very surprising the amount of support my viewers/friends have been giving me though, it's well beyond 12-15. Maybe you could say I'm going with more of a crowdfunding kind of model. I've been utilizing the skills and experiences of my people to do everything but the actual streaming down to 3D modeling, software/hardware, and tech support. It's probably not for everyone on /asp/ but, I'm getting steady growth and the only form of donations I've opened up is Steam gifting which honestly I have more games than disk space now. I'm like Steam level 7.

Thanks for the food for thought.

Fofa's setup is honestly excessive and stops being novel quickly. If full body tracking is your goal just go the Vive Tracker route. 100 (or less with alternatives) per tracker, 250-300 for the lighthouses. It's a solution doable for a tenth of the price.

It sucks that modern streaming has been 1984'd when compared to 2010-2015.

Didn't have to worry about if a piece of music would get you flagged or banned. As long as you weren't straight up making snuff videos, then you were free to do whatever.

These things definitely have happened. Places like Liveleak and Justin-stream had few rules if any and I remember seeing some of the wildest shit on there streamer-wise that would cause zoomers watching what ever cutesy Japanese loli avatar to have a heart attack in shock. Yesterday I saw an officer arrest video where the word gun and the gun itself were bleep/blurred out all to follow you-tube guidelines. And Twitch is so spineless to the record companies that they flag you just for humming a song.
I don't intend for my channel to be too edgy. It would just be my "escaped, biomorhpic Waifu gets bored of the military chasing her and starts a stream. It would tend to follow a theme of gory games/movies with more normal games inbetween. At least that's how I have it at first.

You can't be the same retard who brings this up every time someone says to learn from bigger, existing creators. There's no way you're this consistently misconstruing the same advice every single time. Nowhere in that post does it say "if you're not successful you never will be", nor is it implied.

I am one. This is just a hobby and I have no plans on becoming big. i want to be a 2view/low3view with an active chat so I can have zatsu though.

Stick to one playthrough. This people followed you for that game and if you switch now you won’t be able to bond with them at all. But the game you’re playing should be a high follower low streamer one otherwise you probably won’t get much followers consistently.

Definitely consider switching up your games.
Why would I want to drop in on part 7 of your unmodded dark souls run? Play whatever makes you happy, but you have to bear in mind that people will probably not come to watch you play another flash mini-golf game, unless you've tapped that market.

Schedule doesn't really matter, but it can be helpful to get into the habit of it, I guess?
One thing I've not seen many people talk about, but which I realized myself when looking at my own streams, is the facade of professionalism.
When I started, I used a solid black background, no overlay, no BGM, nothing. I had no offline screen, no thematic tying together of images everywhere, and no kayfabe (don't yell about it, I'll get to it in a moment).
I then found another stream, who had a fully rigged model, solid colour choices in everything, a character+lore they'd play, badges and emotes ready to go... It looked like she was taking it seriously. She has since stagnated, because she's not a good streamer, but she hit affiliate in just shy of three weeks, over her first seven streams.

Why did I mention kayfabe is important?
Posting "Work was shit today, I'm going to order a pizza, jerk off, and have an early night"; you can post something vaguely relevant to your character. It's not going to help much in getting new followers, or viewers, it's just this veneer of looking like you know what you're doing.

I don't want to be an idol streamer. Just feel like doing some youtube videos about games or cartoons from my childhood.

(New /asp/ie here so hi!)

I have a quick question, to whichI hope some of you have had a similar experience and been in a similar position.

Not to share my whole life story here, but I've been a casual (read: fucking lazy) Twitch streamer/affiliate for four years and I'm really interested in getting into the VTuber/VStreamer space, but I have two concerns:

>My viewers know I'm an anime fan and that I like all of the associated shit (and grill me for me), but my stream isn't *about* anime - I mostly play competitive games, rhythm games and narrative stuff and those are the communities I've come from.

>I'm a known figure (and in some instances senior moderator) in these "not anime" communities and these are the spaces that gave me the injection to get me started with streaming and where my network stemmed from.

With the above in mind, is the best idea to start a new, fresh account and start from scratch again, but try to foster a new community myself, or change my account name, continue on my "main" channel and accept the confusion from the regulars I already and take the cull and lost viewers on the chin?

I'm entertaining the idea of running both accounts at once and treat vtubing as a "secret project" so to speak, but if I'm being sensible I think I'd be fucking stupid to try and run two streams at once and hope to succeed and grow. Maybe keep my "Main" for watching and make a "New" for my streaming but then I'd be sad to start from scratch again!

Any thoughts?

i think i've seen it maybe posted once before, but is there anything to know about this small corpo? they've recently popped up but growing pretty quickly, you keep your model when signed + the rights to it, etc.
i've always wanted to stay indie, but if starting with a small new corpo gives that boost and the ability to graduate and go indie after a decent following from said corpo then why not?

I am already a facecam streamer, yeah - I think I'd have to just test the waters and just ask and see what they think.

For some extra context and thought process, I did some self-reflecting and I realise that I probably had some kind of impostor syndrome, since I kind of built my stream off of other people's goodwill that I maybe didn't earn my viewerbase and doing a vtuber side channel would be me "proving" to myself that I can do it on my own?

It's a dumb thought process but it's crossed my mind before and that's where the whole "secret second channel" idea came from!

This is a good video, thank you anon!

'd *like* to talk about anime and sperg out about otaku stuff more than I do currently so unlike Sumi I'd see some personal benefits from going that route, but the video's definitely an adjacent mindset for sure - thank you again!

Is that even a buff? I occasionally sort by 0views on twitch and it seems mostly populated by furries & vroids

Is doing ASMR a good way to build an audience before streaming? M*le btw

Read their FAQ and it just seems like they're just taking with no giving. Like, a "no interest payment plan" lmfao okay? Zero benefits from them

Yeah, it's great if you're able to make good scripts and have even half-decent voice acting skills.

How do you refer to your character/design when talking to people about it in the context of the character itself?
“I’m going to draw my character/model design doing XYZ” vs
“I’m going to draw myself wearing ABC”

I have no idea how you could get /wvt/ to hate you if you're female though. Only if you did something really stupid like shittalk someone's oshi or say you're anti-loli or some other contentious shit like that.
