hi /asp/, I hope you have a good day and do well in your auditions!

How I am supposed to op-sec if I can’t even come up with a new name. I have my design, but when it comes to naming I’m just terrible.

>>20073031
names don't need to be good, just fit with the theme

>>20068881
>do you care about getting doxxed?
I do, because I might post some weird stuff and I don't want it connected to me, at least not before I get popular.
Getting doxxed and harassed early will probably kill the career.

>>20073031
anon, have you tried to find some inspiration instead of coming up with it yourself? Perhaps there is some event in your memory or a minor detail that is memorable enough. Try to play with those ideas and see how they help your imagination

Not like I'm going to audition in a year or two, but just curious, do you guys put in your linkedin when you audition? I'm curious on how they would treat people that are, on paper, set for life

No idea, I just tested for fun :)

I think you're supposed to go to falsetto to measure your true range, which is supposed to be higher than that.
Range doesn't mean shit anyway if you're not able to breathe properly within the range you're comfortable at

It's not illegal to be a vtuber if you're a criminal.

how do you approach big jp artists

do they even respond to english messages

>>20080082
I mean, just use a different username, and don't share accounts?

Unless you're legally required to share your past to everyone in which case..., then the only tie would be your voice. So you just deny that, use a filter, or get a VA lesson or two.

>>20073264
Why would they care..? Being an engineer or an IT guy doesn't make you a better vtuber or content creator. They want someone they can make money off of for their personality

yellow cat good

>>20080082
Have you been at all following this yellow cat selfposter? He's a criminal, sexual predator, and an actual borderline-dangerous schizo. Constantly Doxx'ing himself about being touched in prison and by the feds for when he pretended to be Kiryuu Coco during her graduation... it feeds his pathological need for attention. Last month there was also a registered sex offender here asking about vtubing. It's the internet, why do you care? Even if you're a femanon the worst that can happen is dramafags and someone mailing a dildo to your house.

How worth it is it to upgrade to really good rigging? I've had some fairly scuffed DIY for over a year, and I do feel like it has possibly put people off.

>>20085018
i want to say that good rigging draws in a lot of people initially to at least check you out. I remember seeing shylily for the first time and said "holy fuck that rigging is so good", and i shared her to my friends to check her out too, and they love her. if price isn't a huge factor for you, rigging upgrade catches more eyes in my experience as a viewer

I can't stop starring at my first model sketch. I'm so excited. it's probably a good time to get some streaming reps in.

How do I get rid of the slight lisp/speech impediment that every autist seems to have?

>>20087695
Please don't get rid of it if you're female. PLEASE.

I can’t wait for my cataract surgeries so then I can actually enjoy gaming again and actually start streaming.

>>20085399
Hmm yeah that's what I thought, it will give me at least a bit more eyes and hold than before. Plus I simply want to stop being so low quality

I feel like my mic is too quiet but if I boost it using OBS settings my voice sounds awfully "metallic" and close to peaking at times. I'm using this Samson meteorite microphone. Is there a way to fuck around with sound settings to it captures the voice loud and clear without it getting distorted or is this type of mic just inherently fucked?

>>20089588
>Is there a way to fuck around with sound settings to it captures the voice loud and clear
no. it's a cheap plug and play usb mic used by boomer management who don't know what the fuck a powerpoint is. get a proper mic.

>>20087695
Speech therapy. I had friends in middle school with lisps and/or actual stutters that fixed them by high school. Your lisp may also be caused by something wrong with your tongue and getting a minor surgery to correct it will get rid of the lisp. Really depends on what's causing the lisp but you should be able to get rid of it if you really want to. That being said some lisps are nearly unnoticeable and minor ones may actually be considered cute.

Most of the time people like the streamer moreso than what they stream. There are clear debuffs (playing chess if you suck ass at it) but being genuine and starting by streaming what you personally enjoy and/or are above average at is a good place to start.

What’s the best settings for OBS so then I don’t get stuttering/dropped frames por overload the encoder?
Think games like RDR2, GTAV, Minecraft, r capturing a console with an HD60 S.

>>20089954
Really truly, most people don't care about your old VODs. But if the playlist is public, then all the videos inside can be seen by navigating through playlists instead. This also keeps your video tab clear for short-form content (clips, pre-recorded, etc)

The worst thing about designing your own model is making whatever you want and then the design is completely different from what you sound or act like.

>>20093925
>then the design is completely different from what you sound or act like.
this only matters if you're an autistic schizo on 4chan. kiara looks like she'd have a mommy voice but does fine with her high pitched idol voice.

>>20093925
Yeah a lot of people do this then try to fall back on the "B-B-BUT JUXTAPOSITION!" cope.

>>20093973
You aren't totally wrong on the first half, but are we looking at the same Kiara?

>>20093925
In those cases, you should have the courage to scrap and design again. Unless you can make it work through acting somehow and power through.

>>20094187
>on the first half, but are we looking at the same Kiara?
this is what happens when you just stream for over a year and people get used to it. they associate your voice and your model and stop giving a shit about first impressions because it happened a year ago and lasted for 2 seconds before content took over and mattered more.

there is no such thing as voices not matching your model unless you're doing something retarded like going babiniku.

whose mom looks like Kiara

>>20094449

My design is mildly babiniku (flat chest, but still very cute and maybe slightly feminine), but welp

>>20095370
what are you even talking about? no viewer gives a shit if you stream at 1080p or 720p as long as it's watchable and your content is good. you can stream at 144p if you're doing ASMR and get hundreds of viewers as long as your audio is set to 320kbps correctly.

>>20095435
>what are you even talking about? no viewer gives a shit if you stream at 1080p or 720p
>as long as it's watchable
That's the point. No affiliate should be streaming at 1080p because they don't have consistent encoding and almost half of all viewers watch from a mobile or non-desktop device. This matters much more than you think even at mid/low numbers. I used to not know this and would constantly see regulars saying they have to go because the stream was choppy when it was fine when I checked back on VODs.

>still so much editing and recording that needs to get done for my audition
>no end to work in sight
If you had to guess how much time I have left to get this audition in based on the announcement of EN girl applications to premier, what would you give me? I know I could always apply for second gen, but I’m worried the bar will be raised so high at that point I will have effectively missed my chance

>>20097570
Have you tried streaming for your friends? I don't think I would've even started streaming if my friends didn't ask to watch me play stuff.

>>20097880
>I know I could always apply for second gen, but I’m worried the bar will be raised so high at that point I will have effectively missed my chance
If you really feel that way, you must not have that much faith in yourself to make it into the first wave. Don't self-sabotage and instead rise to the occasion if you truly want it that badly

>>20092875

>>20097950
I have confidence in my talents, I’m only worried because I’m a literalwho. If I get in early into the game, maybe then I could actually get by on my talents alone, but if the bar gets raised then maybe that just won’t cut it and the demands for a following will be even higher

you're going to be auto binned by the filter either way so go for it.

every single timeloop for auditions you see a shit ton people here talking about how their unlisted audition was never viewed

unless you think they're just randomly selecting which ones they choose to ignore its pretty obvious they use the numbers to filter out insta-skips

>>20101647
exactly, they don't ask for your numbers unless that's intended to be a filter

>>20094449
Eh. If you sounds like an autistic nerd but have some ripped bara-esque model or or gave kronii a loli voice there would be heavy dissonance. I retuned my character concept for that reason.

>>20102517
>there would be heavy dissonance.
it really does not matter. there are plenty of males with ikemen or bara models that have nerdy voices easily pulling in 50-60 CCV steady. like i said before the only people who give a shit are 4chan schizos and incels.

>>20097893
NTA but my friends all ask to watch me play games & I'm fine streaming to them, but actually streaming to the public feels different. With my friends I can make conversations & the like or listen to them talk a bit instead of just having to fill all the air on my own (I know chat can fulfill a similar function, but I need to reach a point where I have a large enough chat for that to happen first). I'm a bit of a boring person (WFH, rarely leave my apartment execept to exercise & do other necessary tasks, and don't consume much media besides videogames) so I'm nervous that I'll quickly run out of shit to talk about and get super repetitive. The only mildly interesting thing I've done was a fair bit of traveling, but even a lot of that is meh or inappropriate for Twitch.

>>20101647
Isn’t it possible that the unlisted views can get glitched? I kind of doubt they were getting enough applications at the ethyria stage to skip anyone right off the bat. It’s more likely Reimu was already hired from the previous audition.

>>20103151
>Isn’t it possible that the unlisted views can get glitched?
no.

>>20082012
I want to stream learning how to do things in a way that feels quasi-educational, like looking up tutorials on how to play guitar or drums, then trying it on stream. I’m worried it’ll come off as boring, that’s part of the challenge in making conversation and making it interesting.

>>20103756
https://www.youtube.com/c/MikeBoydVideo/videos

an example of something similar to what you're describing, imo not a concept fit for longform content. this guy has it down to a science with extremely short, niche, and actionable "talents" that he records his process of learning for

I wanna LARP the big corpos and do voice packs. What do you think, anon-tachi? Are those viable? I think they could be a good incentive for my Ko-fi page, since it's literally the only thing I could offer there.

And yes, I have a good mic.

Oh wow I saw Mike Boyd in Tom Scott’s “MONEY” game show. Neat. Watched a couple videos of his and I agree that most of the skills aren’t meant for long-form content (at least not for chuubas). A Handcam Rubik’s cube learning stream doesn’t seem too crazy tho.

>>20104847
This is a list of the things I wanted to stream. I’m competitive in Hearthstone, but I want to play in tournaments more often, and I either don’t have any interest in most popular games (shooters and MMORPGs, especially) or I’m just terrible at them. I also think I’m bad at Hollow Knight but that might be because it’s the first game I’ve properly bought and played (and it was on a friend’s request).

>>20108121

Organize game wishlist separately from activities. You can publicly post the game wishlist actually, you'd be surprised. I'd also try a separate for long-term goals such as hardware, live2D and equipment with budgeting.

Just do what you want to do and build up a following around that. If you're really into Hearthstone start streaming it and getting involved with it's community. Most of my viewers are either from Killing Floor 1, Mabinogi, and are menhera 911/military/criminal and /vt/. I'm very much a "be yourself" streamer for self-fulfillment and personal growth. Corpo comes later, if ever beyond merch, advertising, and networking.

>>20109686
h-haaahhhahhh! feed more more, anon!.

>>20110600
The point is to post content representative of your on-stream content. If you're out there posting covers and silly tiktok videos and people come in and you're just sitting there watching how-to videos for sh it no one cares about, it still won't help

I want to make my streaming space a little more comfortable… being in a basement with laminate flooring means that I end up with cold feet, even with socks on
Also probably wouldn’t hurt to get a nice mini rug

I know niji and holo want 3 months of experience streaming but I've had pretty good and consistent growth in 2 and a lot of my viewers are encouraging me to go for it. Is it still worth it to apply with good numbers or should I wait a month?

>>20113076
apply but stfu about it and don't draw attention to yourself. keep making content.

>>20112510
You need a little portable/tabletop heater. I have serious neuropathy so my fingers go cold and completely numb if it's too cold or humid. I just got a dehumidifier too, my Dad bought ordered it off Amazon and it literally just arrived today. I've had to call off many streams or had them affected by my health/comfort.

Also eat and set aside time to prepare for streams. For me I need 2 hours beforehand. Post socks, have you tried wearing female tights? They are surprisingly warm and then you can sell them in your merch shop ITT.

>>20113076
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Speaking of Niji auditions. I know Hololive's say if you're in you'll get a message 1 month afterwards. But Nijisanji says nothing like that. They only have their deadline. Any anons remember what the cut off was for last round of auditions? 1 month after the deadline? 2 weeks?

So I forgot to mention that due to hardware limitations I have to go PNG for games and L2D for zatsudan. Hope anons don't mind that while I get around upgrading my battlestation.

Going back to the "learning skills + partly education + for entertainment" thing, do you anons have any other examples of channels that do it? I've had the idea for a while, but I could use some references.

>>20118196
I do the same, but found it depends mostly on the game. Some games I PNG, others I can full 3D. Make sure you go Offline Mode in steam as well and try reducing your stream/recording bitrate/cpu usage. Ganbare!

was watching a white boy playing game. he usually streams with friends and ended up saying the n-word on stream. almost got cancelled even though the game's viewership was super niche

>>20109537
coding streams can get boring as fuck unless your viewers also know how to code. with all learning streams prepare for a fuckton of backseating anyway. don't know why people keep giving duolingo answers before the streamer even attempts.

>>20101647
I can say without a doubt that niji filters by numbers.
After applying to many companies, every one except for niji has viewed my videos multiple times sometimes all the way through

the only time niji viewed my video was during the first audition. Every other audition has sat at 0

I think they figured out big indies will apply for them now so they just filter and choose from there. It feels like a waste to even bother now

>>20122278
what were your numbers or maybe an estimate to see if i should even bother or not. everyone i've asked that put in apps have zero views on their videos.

>>20118196
Do you need any help picking parts? I know a few people will even put up a build list optimized for vtubing just for fun. I'm not quite there yet funding-wise so I haven't asked them yet but it's something I think /asp/ could really use, especially if tiered and inclusive of microphones/mixers/cameras. I see a lot of people asking about PNG/L2D/3D pricing too.

I made some prompts for future Zatsudan and drawing streams. I've also decided to do livestream cooking/etc to engage my audiences to share and get advice. It's good stuff, I recommend taking screenshots in-game more often at least, /asp/.

I will pay (superchat) you for pictures of your programming socks to encourage your streaming. Try a ceramic heater like this:

Oh yeah, I also really recommend using this for your video titles. The extra color really does a lot to attract bored frontpage scrollers.

https://emojipedia.org/youtube/

Has anyone else been experimenting with video titles/thumbnails, clickbait, and deciphering the algorithm?

I'm probably going to simulcast to both Twitch and YouTube and forego monetization cock-sucking. An external link for steam games, paypal, cashapp, crypto, and a gofundme with funds going into cyka blyat war machine raw material stonks is my next move. Idk if twitch has pay2win mode like youtube's Promoted feature but I've never forgotten the nice-to-meet-you piano and AEK-999-esque jp chuubas. Seems like a valid tactic.

There was a guy who posted his channel here not long ago, his videos were over-edited. Be mindful of not doing that and keeping the memes tasteful, if that's the path you've chosen.

thepiratebay org/description.php?id=12008973

I just grabbed this, I have experience with it and found it easy to use and far superior to windowsmoviemaker/flash/fireworks. You can animate with it too. Up until now though I have not edited my videos in the slightest. Reiterating don't tunnel vision on editing.
I can probably get you commissions for minor video editing paid-training if you are interested.

>>20129662
You're a bit vague, but assuming you want to just want to make clips/subs/simple edits, something like premiere pro or sony vegas would be good enough, althought I have not touched sony vegas in a long time

I wonder if Cover looks if someone auditioning has streamed or done yabee stuff. Niji seems to not care given that Fungus is in there but I wonder if Cover will raise an eyebrow to someone that has, say, played or talked about H games.

>>20126256
They watch your streams after you submit to see your turn out, chat, donations and general personality.

>>20130293
>played or talked about H games
They won't give a shit about that, anon. They might care about things like political streamers or actual drama but ero stuff won't affect you. Maybe it would if it was REALLY fucked up shit, but this is a Japanese company we're talking about, normal ero won't matter to them.

>>20129662
davinci resolve is free and simple to use
what exactly are you looking to do?
>>20130147
personally i thought his videos were pretty solid; he could have done more to showcase the game but otherwise there weren't many slow moments where I felt like I needed to click off the video. At the very least, it's way easier to sit through compared to a full vod

>>20130353
What's if it's Taimanin Asagi RPGX?

>>20130477
Anon, Taimanin is either near to or as close as you're going to get to a mainstream porn game in Japan. It's not even a exclusively porn series, they have a gacha game. That's like if you talk about Fate's history as an ero game early on. They're not going to blacklist you over that.

>>20130477
play Rapelay for your audition

>>20122278
If they do they seem to filter by pretty low numbers. I'm at a little over six hundred and they're viewing mine.

After a lot of consideration, i decided i just going to go indie bros. i might be forever 2view but at least its more comfy, honestly auditioning for company might not suit for my pacing after thinking a lot factor while im guaranteed to have audience but i dont have a lot of freedom & not to mention the expectation of having to please a lot audience and competition and such just make me stressed. i don't think I'm cutout to be e-celeb.
Having a small and tight-knit audience might be for me, not just its easy to moderate your viewer but i think you're free to act however you want.
but still what appeal me is the freedom to stream w/e game i want & using emu and not deal with corpo bs.
anyway for streaming which one is more comfy between twitch & youtube? i know a lot of ppl use twitch because its easy to monetize & getting audience but YouTube doesn't seem bad either, im newfag to this stuff so sorry im retarded.

>>20132989
Seems like copium because you realize you don't stand a chance to begin with. If you're only interested in "comfy" (boring) streams and communities of "comfy" (boring) viewers who will never speak, the site doesn't matter.

Left for dead is on sale.

>>20132989
Welcome to the club. I'm pretty sure the consensus is to apply to corpo for practice/experience without expectations. It's important in life. Youtube is more easily accessible. If you want to appeal to non-gamers that much alone is enough reason for me. Simulcast is ideal but you won't be able to have partnerships/monetize. SwissedToast#1337

>>20130416
Oh don't get me wrong, I definitely like his stuff. When we discussed it in the thread back then it was apparent that the editing had become his primary focus. He doesn't do full or live streams iirc. It was a bit of a split between the fast food meme style and comfy in the background or on the TV stream. There's merit to all of the approaches.

>>20132989
What you say doesn't really make sense, you can be in a corpo and keep streaming in your regular account in parallel. Also, contracts are often for a year, so you could get in, do a year, get out and you'll be ahead by a lot

>>20133377
>corpo streamer that streams on their former account simultaneously
Sounds like a terrible workload with little advantages as opposed to migrating your fans and focusing on corpo advantages. Do you have any examples of people that do this?

>>20129605
>not getting affiliate
that's a bad idea. you make a decent amount from it and get emotes + sub button. people rarely donate unless you're uwu begging for it but they sure as hell will sub and gift subs. just a thought

>>20133955
Laplus, Choco, Mel, Noel, Kiara, Matsuri, Mori

>>20134117
This. I've never gone over 20 CCV and I've made about 5 grand total in the last year.

What tag should i add to twitch if i have postherpetic neuralgia(due to shingles) currently.

>>20134119
>holos with enough paypigs that lets them do whatever in their off time.
Most chuubas aren't doing it full time. Being a corpo is already like a second job with all the meetings and projects

>>20134314
vtuber. lol
unless you wanna go the way of our literal larper, ironmouse, use disabled or w/e

>>20134357
It's more influence to my mental, it's like being stinged or small fire burned 24/7 non stop.
But since it will takes months to recover from that so i don't wanna stop streaming for a while.

>>20134258
How many subs did you get on average per month? Does the majority come from gift subs?

>>20134554
Gifted. I noticed this is the same for most chuubas though. They're carried by a few whales. I don't make as much now because I don't stream nearly as much and the people vying for my attention kind of have it now but I also never really milked it either, but I've made more than my investment back

>>20134547
if anything you should add it to your about me section. people don't care about tags too much imo

>>20133377
I agree. Even if you end up hating it your audience will follow you back to the indie scene. It's like having a bad job for awhile if you end up hating it but you'll be set for life.

>>20134847
True true, it's also makes my Elden Ring adventure more immersive.

Would a HyperX QuadCast be a good starting mic?

People who also use an iPhone for face tracking, how do you set it up? Should I buy a tripod? This thing called Mountie shows up on Google, anyone try that? Thank you for your time

>>20134965
i bought this little thing and sit it in front of my main monitor. works great
https://www.amazon.com/Adjustable-OMOTON-Aluminum-Desktop-Compatible/dp/B08B82LRVG/
>>20134951
any usb mic will work. yes. just make sure you listen to your audio before you stream and make sure the audio pattern is correctly set to cardioid. i would highly highly highly recommend getting a boom arm to attach to your desk so the mic can be nearby your mouth because otherwise you can sound far away/quiet and it will pick up your voice much clearer the closer it is to you

>>20135084
That stand actually seems perfect, thank you anon!

>>20135646
welcome~

Any EQ tips? I'm tinkering around my EQ to get better sound quality and everything just sounds like shit. Doing this for prerecorded video btw

target audience and why?

are they asking for a character archetype or are they asking for what kind of stuff i'll stream lol

these questions are so poorly worded

i'm filling out the audition and i'm stuck on
>who is your favorite vtuber and why?
idk man i just like who i like why is this so hard kek

>>20137808
which part of them appeals to you? how do they inspire you or the content you plan to make? try thinking in the shoes of the recruiter reading your shit.

>>20137151
this is from a while ago, it could help

>>20137509
Target audience is the most important question for streamers/content creators. A lot of us newbies see that the big fish all seem to be variety streamers and think that's the path that they took to success. That couldn't be further from the truth. Ludwig started in the smash community, Jerma made his name in the team fortress 2 community on youtube. If you try to start off being a variety streamer you're kneecapping yourself. When a corpo is asking you who your target audience is, that's probably the question they're the MOST interested in hearing your answer to. It separates the wheat from the chaff. Back in 2020 being a vtuber and targeting vtuber fans as your audience worked, but not anymore. You have to niche down and find a really specific audience that's hungry for content. Look up M/F or F/M or M/M ASMR roleplay. That shit is huge on youtube, I've seen youtube channels go from 0 to 30k in less than one year doing that kind of garbage. Think very carefully about a target audience you can serve, and hit 'em hard and fast with your best material.

artist posted new sketch and i'm really getting into it. i think i might actually drop the admiral for good. new model wont make me more popular but i want something that's really cool and personal and i'm getting there. I asked him to re-do the face once more to something that's inbetween the two, to give it a more "main character" feel, i think left one is too manly to fit the character i have in mind, but i'm in love with the outfit. This is gonna make a really good 3D model.

I'm also starting to work on a rough draft on my game, i'm planning to use RPG Maker to craft a story around this character that i can play on stream and VA for. I have decent experience with the program so i should be able to make something fun. I don't want to just lore dump, i want the viewers to be able to interact and possibly influence the outcome of the game / story. And i can keep adding to the story if people are interested to have "hero-story" streams that revolve around the model / character going on more adventures inbetween normal streams.

I'll still be a 2view but i'll at least have fun probably.

>>20134314
I use "Neurological condition", and am just willing to discuss it if anyone in chat ever asks. Normally, nobody does, but about 1/3 of people who find me through tags do it through this one.

>>20138455
nta but I've tried this and does next to nothing for me, it's barely noticeable from the raw audio

>>20137151
male or female vocals?

>>20130147
>>20130416

Hey ! Whoa I didn't think people would still be mentioning my stuff since I last posted. I agree the editing is egregious at times, and I'm still trying to find a good balance. Mostly due to me not being a talkative person which is why I fill my videos with edits. You're going to love / hate the next thing video I upload. It's a very mixed bag on opinions I get.

The most important thing I keep in my mind for my videos is to have it be moving / action every <10 secs or so. It's not for everyone. I'm still trying to find my way...

>>20129662
I started out with Da vinci and then moved to sony vegas. Learn basic cropping and panning the camera. Basic image and text inserts. I looked into youtubers I watched and observed what types of edits they do. Every single resource out there is free.

For me in my earlier videos I did 1 minute monologue intro... and it did not work out. Extreme cringe. Try out and experiment new styles !

>>20138455
thanks, will tinker around with this
>>20139253
Male vocals, often shrieking

>>20139171
you might want to turn those gain knobs down even more than the picture says then

>>20137509
They’re all extremely straightforward

>>20134117
>>20134258
Thanks for your input, will reconsider it.

>>20137509
Character archetype is basically irrelevant unless you're a girl who's willing to erotic roleplay fanservice and ASMR, at good at it too. imo. You'll be skipping what 98% of people get hung up on and never move past.

>>20137808
Make sure you pick one that's within the company.

>>20138605
My dick won't forget you, anon!

What do you usually do before a stream?

>>20142829
Open obs, make sure the game is capturing. I got lazy + able to monitor well with a mixer, but I used to record a small segment to make sure all the audio is working and game working. Send a test chat message and test alert to make sure overlays are working. Go pee 5 minutes before start time.

NTA but I've been following this and growing pretty consistently in the past week and building solid connections with more established streamers.
Honestly this advice made start enjoying interacting on twitter and I've made some friends.
I think a focus on interaction, reciprocation, and genuine connection really helps.

Updated +additional advice for growing from 0 on Twitter.

- Following remains the same - interact with multiple vtubers to try and get the algo linking you. Like, share, comment on their posts. Ideally, these should be people with streams you've watched so they recognize you (1). Do the same for the Gamedevs of your stock games. If you're an EldenRing streamer, then you should be following the official twitter, and jumping in the bandwagon when they ask community questions (2)
- Tweet CONSTANTLY. Aim for two or more EVERY day, more on days you stream. Memes, highlights, clips are all good. Also, any useful information you uncovered (glitches, etc).
-- Early announcements on your streams. If you're going live in the evening, post in the morning about it.
-- Scheduled tweets are your friends. It makes it look like you're more active, and gets you into peoples' timelines.
- Tag your (top level) tweets, and pay attention to the algo.
-- #vtuber, #envtuber, #vtuberEN, #[GameName], #[TrendingRelevantTopic] are good ones. They'll appear in the drop down list in order of trending, put the top trending one first.
-- Emotes, pictures, gifs all boost your tweet (slighty). External links are a malus, so put them in child comments if you want a larger reach

(1) - I had first comment on a large (ish) vtubers tweet. They have ~170 CCV, ~15/20K followers on social media. Normally, I get up to 300 impressions per tweet. This one got 3000, 300 interactions, and new followers.

(2) - 'Drop your PNG' threads and the like get a lot of stick, because they help the algo and ratio for the OP, and the early commenters (see (1)), but they also get your name out there. If you have insightful comments (you probably don't, but still), then they can get extra eyes on you. I QRTed an Event announcement, and said "Here's why I'm not streaming tonight guys, wish me luck!"... And they retweeted me. To their audience of 150k followers. It completely threw my analytics page out of whack (again).

I suppose the only other new bit of advice I'd add is copy what Sloth and Leta have been doing - comment on all sorts of things, and disregard numbers. Share your opinion on pieces, ask if you can join in, tell them their hair smells nice. You'll get more eyes on you, appear in timelines, and get boosted interactions

YOU GET ONE LINK
Set your homepage to your Twitch. Not your throne. Not your Tiktok. Not your Carrd.
Your twitch.
Make it so that people only have to click twice (once on your name, once

The TRICKIEST part is breaking out of the vtuber circle.

This might seem counterproductive, but what I mean is you want an audience that isn't just other streamers. They are useful contacts to have, and build friendship with, and share your posts... But they don't necessarily help boost your numbers. Check out some big(ger than you) creators:

Ayuuchii has 16k on Twitch, 19k on Twitter
Shondo has 29k on Twitch, 16k on Twitter (odd one out, most people have more twitter than twitch. I think it's because people don't want to publicly UOOOOOH)
Krimbo has 6k followers on Twitch, 8k on Twitter
Sloth has 1k on Twitch, 1.6k on Twitter
Leta has 2.6k on Twitch, 1.4 on Twitter (odd one out again)

There's big differences in the figures, although bigger on Twitter normally means bigger on Twitch, it doesn't map exactly. Getting those eyes on you will help through.

>>20144445
any particular software or apps you recommend to manage all of this stuff? I assume default Twitter isn't the way to go.

>>20144445
Thanks anon! I'm sure this will help many others. I have compiled both your posts here https://controlc.com/9eba2fbc
Tried Pastebin but they didn't let me publish because their smart filter caught something.

>>20145312
Tweeten and Tweetdeck lets you create columns in Twitter. I have columns for a few different search terms, a custom list, and my oshi's timeline.

>>20143703
Glad to hear it's working out for you. Maybe one day we will accidentally tweet each other and never ever realise it.

I wrote, rather than arted. But quite a few, I think. So far, nobody's linked me old stuff with this, so I think I'm good.

goodmorning /asp/

What should my first tweet be? A go live tweet, or should I art a thing and tweet it with a random “hello” “oh shit” “yabe” whatever and then a go live?

>>20147629
would you give a shit about a tweet that did that?

>>20131043
Now that's a title I haven't heard in a long time, kek.
>>20138565
nta but I can't do ASMR for a shit let alone do BFE or GFE, I do play gacha and a couple of them are kinda obscure. If I get to upgrade my equipment I want to get into hack'n slash games like Nier Automata or RPGs in general. That said, I believe I'm good at chatting and my zatsudan are my forte.
Not that I'm gonna audition for Hololive right now, I stil lwant to build my portfolio a bit more before applying.

>>20147629
Present yourself, pin it

>>20147629
if you start with 0 followers why does it matter what the first tweet is

asides from an intro and schedule which you can post at any time and pin, just post things you find interesting and start networking

>>20093925
>My model is literally just my maximum chuuni mode self-insert middle school OC, updated with 2022 aesthetics and more adult mannerisms.
It always had to be this way. Unleash your true form. Will you be satisfied with anything less?

>>20138455
Oh damn this EQ is so crisp for the upper range, but lacking on that warmth on the lower end, will tweak around that. Seems like this is optimized for streaming

>>20102565
kyuotto is a good example that not every voice will fit every model. if she had a loli voice she could've used the drama buff to become of one the bigger indie vtubers.

>>20148001
What is “a”

What vocal warmups should I be doing before stream?

>>20132989
I feel the same way. though that's mainly because I'll succeed without a corpo on my voice and personality alone.

>>20093925
Funny that I see this, I made my dog girl OC mute, have a bionic arm, and use a tablet as her mouth (she's also blind so eyes i guess as well) connected to her arm as an excuse to stream with a cute female avatar as a male streamer. If you care about the dissonance a lot, then yeah change the design. However, I wouldn't let something like that stop me from using the design.

This is your competition APPLY NOW NOW NOW

>This is your competition
this isn't competition. this is NGMIs with so little self awareness that they shoot their shot not realizing they're unfit to ever be an entertainer. the real competition are people like Vox who spend years autistically creating content and blessed with genetics for a voice buff or socially well adapted people like Luca Mysta and Shu who have established connections through Elira because they're sociable and amicable humans.

jesus these requirements are getting out of hand. At least I have the autistic part down pat

>At least I have the autistic part down pat
everyone is autistic. that's not the important part nijisanji will care about. it's the "creating content for years" part they care about, which autism helps fuel.

Do you intend to make music, or just stream?

Do you have experience singing and/or producing music?

sonny, ike
but at the same time, they kinda have the voices for it + a decently attractive model
just try to make cute noises, anon.

I feel kinda jealous. The absolutely void of self-awareness must be a blessing. You can do whatever you want and have fun. It sounds like a fun life. I don't even mean that in a sarcastic way. Yes it's kinda painful to watch, but in the moment he feels like he's doing the best he can without thinking about anything else, and i kinda adore that. I used to have that back when i edited really cringe videos in 2009 and put them on youtube and i miss that time.

There's gotta be one vtuber you look up to right? Since I started twitch I've met lots of streamers who I look up to for individual skills. If it's my favorite I'd probably namedrop Pekora cuz she's the biggest numberfag and clearly tries to make it

1 week, aspies. You put in your audition application and wait 1 week. If you don't have a view, you've been filtered. Accept it and move on. I know Hololive's application says 1 month, but that's a lie.

Have you ever thought of doing a convention booth or join or host a panel?
How would you go about doing it, interaction-wise?
I’d probably just have a person or two that I know sit at a booth with custom merch while I’m on a vertical screen with a camera chatting with passers by. But that would only happen at a local con and only after I reach certain milestones like following, live-stream views, a certain percentage of viewers near where the con would be etc.

I've been thinking about having a friend of mine do the vtubing for me and I would be an artist/producer. Is there anything I should know in terms of being a vtuber producer?

>>20142829
edge myself to stay focused

>>20102839
You could try using your friends as co-hosts. I did that a lot at first. I think it eased me into the whole thing.

>>20102839
consume more media. tv shows, books, news, whatever. turn them into your own stories, it doesn't matter if they aren't true. stuff thats extremely realistic but with just a hint of absurdity usually make the best ones

I want to stream as soon as possible, but the artist I'm talking to currently is taking a while to respond to my messages. Is it worth it to get a cheaper model while I wait for my current one to be done just so I can get some streaming experience under my belt?

>>20158197
Depends how long your artist is likely to take.
Realistically... Yes.

>>20158197
just stream without a model

>>20155267
what the fuck lol

>>20152545
That's exactly how people have been doing it
