There's /yubicraft/ but they are unironic paranoid schizophrenics who think feds are out to get them on Minecraft. I had one until just last week actually, the admin didn't like it being associate with 4chan. I do want to re-open the server though, I'll discuss it being open to /asp/ with him.

>>20225579
Make a new one retard.

finally created my name and all accounts bros, let's gooo, this is almost progress except i literally don't have any asset nor a mic

Hey mate, its something. Gotta start somewhere

>>20236789
>I was always there for her doing my best to help uplift her content and indirectly promote myself and all I got in return was jack shit,
Stop pretending you’re a saint. You’re clearly using them as a means for something here too. If anything this is probably the reason why you got tossed away from her friend group. You should be grateful that you got raided by someone that huge at all.

Just move on and ignore them. You have your own journey to focus on and so do them. Living in the past won’t make you a better streamer.

the
>play games with high viewers low streamers ratio
thing is bullshit
1 - you're being a retard by playing random games based off what the last 7 days data shows on stream
2 - it's highly gamed by already large chuubas that drop in with a following, gain a ton of new viewers and then leave the category

focus on your content. answer the question
>why should anyone watch you?
first and work from there. it doesn't mean you need to answer that question before starting. you can find out as you stream but you still need to be able to answer that question.

>>20236967
>https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006H92QK
Try saving up for this one, I think /asp/ came to a consensus on it.

>>20237237

>>20237110
> play games with high viewers low streamers ratio
Not viewers, followers. Those stats only matter if someone is actually streaming in that category. Xenoblade 2 for example has an active community but for some reason barely anyone streams that game so it’s easy pickings for views. I consistently get followers every time I stream that game. Whether they return or not is up to viewer not matter how entertaining you are, but as long as they follow you you will show up on their left tab.

>>20237091
i was basically on-call for them, ready to help out whenever they asked as both a carry and a teammate. we did so many raids together and i honestly never had any romantic feelings for them. i was just glad to be friends with them and to have something to do, i had a place to belong for a time. now i'm stuck drifting again and now I understand that it's my responsibility to become the 'queen bee', the head of my own group. that way, this kind of thing will never happen again.

i'm grateful that they raided, it didn't really result in anything long lasting or tangible. they also voiced that they don't like my redesign and liked my png better.

i know i have my own journey, but there's always that element of spite, and wanting to grow and succeed despite how many people desperately want me to burn, die, and fail.

>>20237110
to me it looks like we need to stick to a game before we can truly branch out into "variety" if this kind of fuckery is going on.

>Xenoblade 2 for example has an active community but for some reason barely anyone streams that game so it’s easy pickings for views.
this only matters if you're committed to joining that active community. it's like ASMR. there's a huge community but theyre are ONLY there for ASMR and will tank your views the instant you change away to anything else.

>>20237442
>to me it looks like we need to stick to a game before we can truly branch out into "variety"
you stick to a GENRE of games, not a game specifically. easiest genre, variety horror. play AAA horror games, indie horror games, popular horror games like Dead by Daylight and rotate through those.

>>20236789
>>20237442
Please get a grip, renafag. It's time to move on. Stop comparing yourself to others and don't get complacent. Both you and I will someday leave /asp/ behind, it is a natural requirement of progress.

Get it done.
(also go eat something)

i've gotten to the point where i just stream because i have nothing better to do and i'm bored. i think i've reached the point where i just go live every day.

>>20237712
Yes, dead follows are a thing for anything (which is a very unique audience with its own quirks that shouldn’t be used as an analogy here). There are people that are there that are only for that game but there are also people that are there for games similar to that or in rare cases get to know you enough to stick around. This is a silly reason to avoid playing a game. You can switch your games and viewership will tank but if you’re a variety streamer this is a given. What’s important is that you will get those follows and at least that regular that you bonded with and will stick around.

>>20237868
Meant to type **ASMR, which is a very unique audience with its own quirks that shouldn’t be used as an analogy here

>>20237767
yeah. it's been living rent free for too long upstairs.
i'm definitely not complacent, i'm always looking for ways to improve my technique and I have entire days dedicated to picking up techniques and things I like from other chuubas, keeping myself grounded and understanding the viewer's perspective.

i just came back here after a year, the last time I posted was 13 months ago. I just needed some advice, thanks.

Question didn't get an answer last thread.
Is there a way to play minecraft without doxxing yourself or do you have to rebuy it for your vtuber?

>>20238013
These people >>20235765 are not friends. A renafag needs to, not should, know better than this. Step it up, anon. Ganbare!

>>20238156
>Is there a way to play minecraft without doxxing yourself or do you have to rebuy it for your vtuber?
If you're that worried just buy a new account for your chuuba. You're going to give up IP information the instant you join someone's server anyway.

>>20238218
No one cares about IPs, they are never precise enough unless you're the only person connected to the internet in a 20 miles radius.
You're not answering the question at all.

>>20238156
You don't want fans console spawning your head for fun? I've spawned "shitass" and a couple Holos.

>>20238302
BUY A NEW GAME FOR YOUR CHUUBA SINCE YOU ARE SO FUCKING PARANOID, SCHIZO.

>>20238328
Eat shit, retard. It's not about paranoia, it's about not playing as elitekiller666 when it's not who your vtuber is.
>hurr durr I'm not a schizo lololol
So you also play on your normal steam account, right?

>>20238156
you can change the account name

>>20238412
I play on my normal steam account and my viewers are able to gift me games because of it. Just don't reply to every message and friend request, it's what professionals do.

I need to rape correct yellow cat... damn bratty babiposter!

>>20238013
>>20238217

Have a good evening, /asp/.

I wonder if Holo and Niji know if you lie about applying to both of them...

>>20239991
>apply to holo
>wait a month
>don't hear anything back
>apply to niji
>you've already been filtered so you're technically not applying for holo anymore

Is sharing a Coinbase address for crypto donations a good idea? Or is there some way you can get doxxed this way?

>>20240014
Oh, perhaps I will reverse your plan and apply to Niji and then Holo after I get rejected. The ol' switcharoo!

My model is about to be done pretty soon, but I really hate twitch and would rather not stream there if I can help it. The silver lining is that I have a youtube channel with 1k+ subs already just from stray subbers over the years from random edited videos I've put out. The channel can be monetized whenever I want to as it meets every criteria, so I was just going to put up a video explaining the rebranding of the channel and start streaming there. Perhaps just that will make some curious people come take a look and stay. Would this advantage I have on Youtube do me more favors in terms of visibility compared to streaming on twitch?

Another thing I had in mind would be to multistream and try to direct twitch viewers to my channel. Never getting affiliate, but just just as a tool to grow on YouTube. Or am I just coping here?

>>20240788
just delete all your previous videos and make a presentation video
multistream sucks

>>20240887
I'd rather keep them. They're good shitposts.

>>20240788
>Would this advantage I have on Youtube
this isn't an "advantage" and you'll never make it on youtube

>>20240384
>Coinbase
Why not get a real wallet? Its not hard to make one

>>20241152
I may eventually, but I only got into crypto this January and I'm still learning the ropes and CB was pretty newbie friendly even if it's not ideal

>>20238412
>So you also play on your normal steam account, right?
NTA, but yes. Most indies do as well. No, you aren't and will likely never be a Holo so there's really no need to buy all new games for something as simple as that.

>>20241950
can't you just family share with your main on a new account for a different profile on your pc, or am i wrong?

>>20242063
Probably, but again most people don't care enough to bother, at least no one I'm friends or acquainted with.

>>20240117
kek

>>20241555
I can ask my crypto stonks friend if u remind me. I'm not at that point yet but probably within the month I'll have more knowledge and answers.

You sure you don't want to join my chuub pyramid scheme? You are "free" to observe and lurk if only that.

>>20237561
>focus on your content is a viewerfag take
we've really reached the end of /asp/'s usefulness, haven't we?

>>20242063
>>20242138
I've been looking into family sharing to circumvent paying for single player games, apparently it's location based and riddled with fine print restrictions such as no simultaneous play, cooldowns, quintuple authentication. It's easier to just borrow a friend's Steam straight up under premise of a different computer.
Can't beat the Gabe.

oh no your minecraft username doesnt match your chuuba :( unwatchable

>>20242577
Can you exaggerate your accent to Wales level? Everyone loves Harry Potter references.

>>20242679
100% of large streamers from the hundreds to the tens of thousands have and will conitnue to go on record saying that being a part of a community (networking) and creating/uploading actual content are the two most important things outside of obviously being entertaining. I think you may need to take a step back and maybe reassess a few things. I literally just ended stream less than an hour ago.

>>20242270
>You sure you don't want to join my chuub pyramid scheme? You are "free" to observe and lurk if only that.
I have no idea what this or your picture means, which probably shows you why I'm using Coinbase hahaha

>>20237110
>why should anyone watch you?
What is even a good answer to this without being egocentric? The only thing I can think of is providing a unique type of (entertaining) content that no one currently does, and that's nearly impossible.

>>20240788
Don't delete your videos. Make a new channel fresh for extra challenge and experience unless you want to continue putting out content similar to your pre-existing videos. You are indeed coping a bit with your insecurity, I don't think you should have any expectations in general much less relying on 1k+ stray subs. Whatever use that 1k may be is very circumstantial, I wouldn't count on it or let it be a dealbreaker. It's nice to have though, not nearly as important your people skills and model though.

Simulcast is nice but you're gonna be nerfing yourself pretty hard if you need investment returns. I personally plant o simulcast twitch and youtube for maximum exposure and forego the policy shit so I can take advantage of copyrighted music and do my "be yourself" streaming thing. Donations in that case will be through external links (paypal, cashapp, gofundme, steam, crypto, virtual wallets etc).

Unrelatedly, a notable streamer who came by to visit told me how they had some shit going on with someone harassing them with 1$ paypal donation spam to attention seek/sexual project, and also had to move due to offline stalking.

>>20242858
Very well. I apologize and thank you, anon.

>>20243184
>without being egocentric
You're a streamer, this shouldn't be an issue to begin with.

>The only thing I can think of is providing a unique type of (entertaining) content that no one currently does, and that's nearly impossible.
What unique experience are any of these people providing? What do you think is more likely, that they all provide a unique type of entertaining content, or that people are just drawn in by their personality and ability to entertain? You're thinking about the question way too hard. Why should people watch you? Are you funny or witty? Do you have good stories that you can tell well? Can you sing?

What can you provide? It doesn't need to be something someone else isn't already doing, because you're right that is impossible.

>>20240788
ive been streaming for a year on YouTube and still don't have 100 subs don't make my mistake anon

>>20242960
Do you want to talk to the guy? You can find my contact info with minimal effort here.

Got a reply btw, "Vseeface on pc and wadaiyo on iPhone"

Can't say I've been particularly impressed with VMagicMirror

>>20243289
My main thought process is the youtube algorithm favoring me just slightly if I enable monetization on my channel on top of putting pennies in my wallet, though this early on earnings doesn't matter as much as getting exposure. Youtube doesn't have an exclusivity clause like twitch, so I figured if I multistream this way it might work out (if I end up multistreaming at all). I'm a dude so I'm already debuffed, but I do have a really high quality design and model coming up that I paid big bux for cause I'm crazy.

>>20243544
orz

>>20243814
If your priority is exposure (as it should be) go all out. Worry about monetization and scrubbing when you need to. We'll cross that bridge when we get there.

Post design.

>>20243725
That's kind of the basic iPhone setup, any Youtube guide will tell you that. You still need the proper blendshapes for Waidaiyo to matter though otherwise you might as well just use a webcam.

Vseeface should be the only 3D app you're using and Vtubestudio the only 2D. Not much reason to use anything else when those are the best solutions as of right now.

Hey /asp/ it's been a while but I finally managed to get a job, part time for now but I'm still happy I can finally save for stuff. Does anyone know of decent pc specs for streaming/vtubing?

Also I appreciate the 2view who are atleast trying then being as dumb as me.

>>20244529
Because being egocentric is frown upon and I've seen plenty of both anons and normalfags get upset when someone praises themselves.
>Why should we watch you?
''Because I consider myself funny and I really enjoy what I do. Also I have a great voice and I'm good at videogames.''
>Holy shit you're the most egocentric and vain person I've seen. Ngmi.

>Why should we watch you?
''I don't really have any talent, but I really enjoy streaming.''
>So does everybody else, you're ngmi.

No matter what kind of response you give, it's always seen as bad, so enlighten me if there is actually a good way to respond that will have a positive reception. This question just sucks and the viewers should be the one asking themselves why do they enjoy watching you.

>>20245469
you need to balance between the two and there is a difference between being vain and just being confident in yourself, if you put a bunch of effort into it why wouldn't you express that?

so does linking yourself in one of these threads completely fuck your followers/chat with people trying to be dickheads? or do any of you recommend it?

>>20245671
why would you think that?

>>20245671
not at all
i've never seen anyone from /here/ or /wvt/ have someone be a schizo in chat with the rare exception of people who are schizos that stream and even then i can think of maybe one or two situations over the past year+

>>20245720
honestly because i often see people saying 'link?' and then the person doesn't reply
i wondered if it had a bad rep or something

>>20245871
they are just pussies scared of being attached to 4chan in any way, i have never seen a single person be just straight up mean in the chats, people will at most be mean to you here

>>20245469
>'Because I consider myself funny and I really enjoy what I do. Also I have a great voice and I'm good at videogames.''
no one in asp has ever said this. none of you have ever been this confident.

>>20245671
people are dicks on 4chan, but not all of them all the time. Also, you have to consider if you're even worth a trolls time to fuck with or not, and it's easier to fuck with someone like Ollie right now than some /here/ literal who.
>>20246019
No, plenty have been that confident. For some reason it's always the ones who shouldn't be, though...

>>20245605
I don't think the first example is a bad one if you're being realistic and actually good at those, otherwise you're just gonna make a fool of yourself. The thing is that saying that kind of stuff openly have bad reception even if it's true and some people are gonna get filtered by your confidence. Humble people are more likeable overall.
I rather let other people decide why they want to watch me. Some will stay for the voice, others for the gameplay, and so on. It doesn't have to mean that I'm good at any of them, but each person have their own taste and criteria.

The less unique your talents are the more hustle you need to put in to market yourself to a wider based. You and a million other males play games why should they watch you out of all those other silent streamers?

Do you masturbate to your own chuub, /asp/?

>>20245871
I just do that to encourage them to grow a pair. Plenty of people post their links not in reply.

>>20246018
This. Take away online anonymity and schizos don't even dare to use their private youtube accounts.

>>20246301
No, she masturbates to me

So I commissioned 2 Live2D artists because the one I initially got had a long waitlist (for a July-August slot) and I realized I should be getting reps in already so I got another one who committed to April. Now the first artist is telling me that someone cancelled so he went through his waitlist looking for someone who can afford to grab the cancelled slot. Bit because he's a good, well-known artist. Realized it was a terrible idea now. Didn't break the bank, I'm not that dumb, but I won't be able to use both, obviously. What the hell do I tell the one whose model I don't use? For context, if it helps, both of them know my IRL and chuuba socials.

>>20246599
They usually don't care if you use it or not. Vtubers rebrand all the time, most artists are used to it. Just use the one you like the most and try to resell the other one (for a cheaper price) if you're fine with somebody else having it.

>>20246301
yeah I think he's kind of attractive honestly...

>>20241029
make a playlist for your edits and shove 'em in there. make the videos unlisted, but the playlist itself public, so people can see the videos if they want to.

I just had my first stream.
It wasn’t too bad, but I don’t know if I want to link the VOD here just yet lol

if you want to improve, you should give the link (when you're comfortable) and listen to the constructive criticism. you can't get better without knowing what's bad, and that's easy to find out when someone else judges your work.

https://youtu.be/3zg2Q9SQCkA

>>20248480
You did great for your first stream. I would recommend playing some generic background music when you're playing quiet games like MC, it's a bit awkward only listening to your voice and random silence.

I posted here on a previous thread about if I should apply to Niji or Holo if I wanted a male model but had a female voice, it does seem pretty unrealistic and you guys are right. I think I'll be pursuing indie activities for a while longer since it is highly unlikely I will be selected for anything in that circumstance.

For now, I'm thinking about redesigning, and have attached a draft of my character idea below, and would love criticism. I would like it keep the character masculine leaning / androgynous, but I fear it may come off a bit too shota-esque. For context, I was a domme demon in a military uniform before because it's what my voice best suited- which doesn't really work out well for 'androgyny'.

Thanks for any feedback!

>>20248480
it's my bedtime, but i'll watch it at work tomorrow morning and tell ya what i think.

>>20249383

Unlikely but not impossible so keep doing those reps. See Yugo Asuma.

Unrelated but funny, my captcha: No Onions

/asp/ I'm still a long ways to go from streaming but I made my own overlay while I was waiting for my artist to get back to me. Its shabby, but I'm proud I got it done. VTubers have been the only thing to make me happy in a long while and I'm overwhelmingly excited to become one.

>>20253648
No, but the artist will usually prioritize you over others if you tip. It's a good idea to if you're going to rely on them for a consistent art style for thumb nails, or if they drew your model.

>>20254401
Good luck, anon. Take your time.

>>20237110
I've got a few followers through catalog on extremely low viewer shit specifically because it's low view. If you're the only person playing and you're playing it for hours people will pop in.

Only problem I've run into is if you play madden one day and tales of whatever the fuck the next they'll be dead follows.

>>20254430
Thanks, the idea of starting VTubing has been lingering in my mind long before I even got a character design, so I've been doing reps on basic stuff. I still maintain my singing abilities from years prior too as a fall-back plan if I have no content ideas. Currently I just need to get my model done (talking to 2 currently, since one is taking significantly longer to respond) and to score a rigger with open commissions.
Sorry for blogposting but since starting the works of getting everything done I've really been in a more energized mood and wanted to talk.

Thank god you managed to do it anon

As far as getting/maintaining a real audience, is it best to wait for your live 2d & rigging to finish entirely, do some test streams as a png while still having a real debut, or just start ASAP as a png then just debut your l2d whenever it's done? I know debuts don't really matter, but they still seem like the easiest way to get people to check you out/give you a chance.

Alright /asp/ I'm a little drunk and feeling generous. I've got first-hand experience with some chuuba agencies and know quite a few VTubers in them. I'll answer questions that don't doxx me or them

>>20261442
when should a chuuba transition from a streamer to a content creator and what's the best plan of attack to facilitate that transition?

>>20261442
What are the chances that my application actually gets viewed and not auto-filtered? What's the thing you hate seeing most and will automatically toss an app for?

>>20261442
Can you give us some info on how the app process goes? tips for things like how much they watch before closing, what they typically look for, how best to structure the video etc? Don't give anything that could degrade the process like how you identify schizos or anything that would out yourself though.

>have good numbers
>0 views on audition tape
>realize that your brand of content is just not wanted
it hurts when you realize the thing you're best at doesn't even register on corpo radars.

>>20261442
How tolerant are these agencies if I make fun of them in my audition video? (eg. "Goddammit Yagoo, stop pimping your girls! We need that fujobucks to finance our gigolos now!" etc.)

>>20262116
nta anon but you should be aware that joke is unfunny

>>20261475
As soon as you possibly can. If you can create produced content before you debut, so much the better. If the quality is good, it generates hype, and the hardest thing to do in this business is generate hype.
>>20261623
It honestly depends on the agency. Some agencies watch every video and read every application they get sent, and others only open applications to give the appearance that they have open slots. Why would they do this? To generate hype, of course. You just apply and hope.
>>20261763
Like above, it depends on the agency. It even varies between the agencies that actually have open slots. Some are casting for characters they already have models and backstories for, and others are just looking to get the best possible talents they can. The best advice I can give is to showcase EVERYTHING you're capable of in the time you have because there's really no way to know what they're ultimately looking for. Best foot forward and all that.
>>20262116
Most agencies are self-aware enough to get the joke if it's a good one. As a rule however, Japanese agencies and managers typically aren't. Save that sort of humor for Phase Connect

I'm not sure what to do, /asp/. I was convicted of rape six years ago. Just recently, people who know about it somehow found my channel (and also somehow my burner phone) and have started messaging and nonliterally harassing my viewers about it.
Should I just throw in the towel and give up or keep pushing through, hoping I get an audience who stays?

goodnight /asp/

>>20262351
I think theyre doing the right thing desu

>>20262116
Depends on whether or not the joke is funny, of which this particular one is not

>>20261442
tips for audition video?
>>20262351
maybe go back 6 years ago and not rape somebody, idk

>>20262351
Lean into it, hard. Don't fizzle out. Explode.

>>20262351
F.
Shut it all down, try again, use better OPSEC.
And maybe what >>20262489 said.

>>20254526
In my experience, not entirely, so long as you have vague themes.
About a month back, I streamed Anno 1800. Got around five new followers. Three of them have stuck around for any strategy/city management games, and two of them are (in comparison) dolphins.
If you go from anything to anything, it's wild, but if you stick to themes, then you'll see people come back (sometimes)

>>20262489
Pick whatever your best trait is as a streamer and lead with it. If it's singing, then open with a short (15-20 second) demonstration of your voice and range. If it's art, then open with a speedpaint timelapse while you introduce yourself over it. If it's voice acting, then work your vocal range in early in the introduction. Always keep in mind that you're not only competing with other applicants based on specific skillsets, but also in your ability to hold someone's attention. Whatever you're doing in that video, make it as interesting and captivating as you possibly can from the very start.

>>20262754
That's what I was saying. If your streams vary you'll get very little hop on and consistent viewers because they'll all be aiming for separate categories. But if you're a final fantasy xiv player most will follow you to other square enix streams.

>>20262489
>getting caught
if they can't prove it then ignore
if they can, then do better opsec next time and try again

>>20261442
Think it's too late to submit to Holo or Niji?

>>20261442
Do you think niji and holo dominance will wane in the future? And that smaller corpos will catch up?

>>20263040
It's not too late to submit, but it wouldn't surprise me if one of them already has a good idea of who's getting in already. But worst-case scenario, they know your name and that you're interested. Agencies do still keep their eyes on applicants they're interested in, even if they don't get taken in right away. If they check back in with your content months later and they like the progression you've made, you might even be scouted for a future generation. It wouldn't be the first time it's happened like that.
>>20263046
Will their influence on the industry wane? Probably not. Once you get that big, it's almost impossible to shrink without a really serious scandal. Public trust is surprisingly hard to lose once you have it.
Will they always be the only two agencies that have that influence? I really doubt it. There are a lot of ways to find success in the industry. VShojo has an entirely different business model and they're doing just as good in the NA market than Holo and Niji. Even the smaller startups like Tsunderia and Phase Connect are getting bigger despite there being more competition than ever. It wouldn't surprise me if one of them cashes in on tribalism fatigue from the Niji/Holo "war" and starts to get taken very seriously as a third option. Hang out in their generals and you'll see it's already happening on a small scale

>>20262351
You don't deserve success.

>>20263529
Would you prefer me to stay on disability and force society to pay for my basic necessities as opposed to contributing and earning my keep?

>>20263561
Not that guy but you shouldn't be around children or stream at all. Actual rape and child diddling aren't something people can work around morally. Go to therapy and start working an under the table job desperate for labor.

If you really want to continue accept that it will follow you forever. Your viewers will know. Corpos will know after you debut, maybe even hours, should you ever get with on. It's unfortunate but you could do literally anything else and be fine.

>>20263810
>child diddling
Anon, he just said rape. He never mentioned fucking kids. Jesus, he's a rapist not a chumbud, have a heart anon.

>>20263844
I didn't say he did, I'm saying those are the two things you can't come back from as an entertainer.

>>20261442
How many gens do you think auditions will be going for? Do I have time to get good?
Do you think the market will further split by counties and we will see German corpos, Spanish corpos, Russian/Ukranian corpos, etc?

Also, do you reckon later corpos will become as inaccessible as the music labels of nowadays? If going by pure business value, there will never be a reason to hire anyone without proven track records in content making at this rate.

How often do you all break away from your schedules?
Either in changing what's on it to do or timewise; cancelling streams, or adding gorillas?

>>20263561
I would prefer any rapist not be a public figure with a following. Work a wagie job if you actually care about contributing, although I don't suspect you do.

>>20263971
The ultimate goal is one cohesive generation per audition period, but let's just say that if the talent pool is rich enough, it's not unheard of for more than one generation to be filled from one audition period.
As for other countries getting VTuber branches, it doesn't make much business sense, at least the way the market is now. It's still pandering almost exclusively to weebs, and if India, the 2nd most populous country in the world, didn't have enough weebs to sustain Niji's branch, why would Germany or Russia be any different? Spanish has a slightly better chance because of the number of countries that use Spanish as their primary language, but even still, most Spanish-speaking countries are shit poor, just like India. Maybe if VTubing becomes more generalized and starts to appeal to non-weebs, the industry will get normalized in worldwide culture, but as it is now, the financial foundation isn't there.
Proven track records are irreplaceable, but there will always be undiscovered talent out there. Tsunderia in particular seems to like picking them out. Amiya Aranha had no streaming experience before joining with them and she's the full package, easily the favorite of her generation. Tetsuya Kazune got 5 million plays on his old Spotify account, but no one knows where he came from in the VTubing world. The point is, you don't know what's out there if you don't look everywhere. The good agencies know that.

>>20262351
There's three (technically four, but the last two combine) ways you could have been doxxed like this

1 - Fans of you in your chuuba life wanted to know the operator, so went digging and found it. If this is the case, you need to increase your opsec, because there shouldn't really be anything tying you back. I would have thought you, of all people, would be aware of this.

2 - People in your IRL life wanted to ruin your online life. Again, relatively simple opsec - don't tell anyone what you're doing, don't make anything obvious.
I suppose a problem might arise here in that you might need to (depending on jurisdiction) report activities to the courts, which might be public record. In such a case, you're fucked, because no matter what you do, people will want to ruin your day.

3 - It wasn't a deliberate action, either someone IRL stumbled over your stream and recognized your voice, or the other way around. Best bet is to put on a filter. It'll sound shit, but hopefully avoid this happening again.

Depending how big you are, it might just be easier to reincarnate with a voice filter anyway.

>>20264713
Hmm, yeah, I forgot that weebery is still only big enough in the Anglosphere to not be a niche

>>20264713
I think there's massive potential for a Spanish-speaking branch, based on how rabid Spanish-speakers are in EN and JP chats. The talents just have to be prepared for what will essentially be Rushia viewers but 10 times worse.

>>20265179
and half as profitable, but far more numerous

>>20265179
Be the change you want to see, anon. Start up an ESP agency and get picrel to be the face of it

Do better than these, and you're golden, aspies

This hobby is making me too autistic and my rational decision making ability is slipping away

I actually got a new achivement, didn't think that was possible. Make sure to do your networking so you don't end up like me /asp/

>>20261442
Might be to late but I’ll still ask.

Opinion on applying to new starting companies (like Kawa Entertainment)? Worthwhile to take the plunge with an unknown company? Red flags to look out for?

>>20248899
>>20252910
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it!
>>20249672
I look forward to your feedback!
>>20253028
Yes, and…?

>>20262351
What's up with the influx of rapist aspies? Is that some meme?

Just wanna vent. Someone I know is auditioning for Niji and they're on full copium that if someone boring like Uki can make it in, then an enthusiastic/passionate person like them has a good chance. Kept telling them to keep expectations low, but let's just say I didn't phrase it well enough and things went a bit sour. They're genuinely entertaining to watch though and is not a 2view but I've seen enough heartbroken aspies with no views on their audition tapes and was just trying to be realistic.
Anyways, thanks for reading. Good luck in your endeavors, aspies. Success is different for everyone and I hope you can find yours.

>>20269422
Just with them good luck and don't rain on their parade anon.

>>20269584
Yes, you're right. Not the first time I hurt people for being blunt. Should work on that.

>>20269422
sometimes people need to get fucked to understand that it hurts if they aren't properly lubed up, i would say to just apologize properly and wish them good luck

goodmorning /asp/

>>20270581
good morning, today i will definitely choose a costume, i have no idea how i will design my face since my drawing skills are like a literal 5 yo but i believe in myself

>>20270643
kongou did a stream on this yesterday where he created and acted as a new vtuber, maybe it'll help you out

>>20270711
i just need to do my loomis reps

>>20270711
I’d take that stream with a pinch of salt, it was done for an already existing audience. It’s more of a Kongou alt role.

>>20269422
You weren't wrong but please try to make up with them.

>>20269422
Fair enough to try and help people set realistic expectations, but it's normally best to not piss in your friends' cereal.

>>20266737
Keep grinding anon, I believe you can achive the __zero__ viewers one!

>>20262351
You deserve this. Hope it haunts you until you die you scum

>>20271187
I will achieve the chuuba singularity where i pass into another parallel universe where nobody can watch me... or something like that

>>20269422
How did you manage to tell your actual friend that they were bound to fail in their ambitions but then tell Anonymous "good luck"

I know last thread someone mentioned a minecraft server. And while I think a asp Minecraft server is a odd idea, it got me thinking on networking. What are some good networking tips?

>>20272317
The difference between anon's friend and typical aspie is that /here/ people are more usually than not have 0 hope to get in. Their friend on contrary is full-on convinced they're getting in, anon was just trying to be a good friend and prevent their heart from breaking

>>20272688
>cope

>>20272688
>typical aspie is that /here/ people are more usually than not have 0 hope to get in.
ehhhhh

>>20272554
Check previous thread for some twitter networking thing

>>20267635
Kawa literally just had a yab a few days ago. The owner clearly doesn’t know how a corpo should be run

would it be cringe to have a bot that says something generic every 5 minutes or so as a joke? i plan to name him viewer

>>20274045
what yab? Is it related for full name requirment on their application?

>>20269422
If you want to make it then there is no “realistic” expectations. You need to go in with the mindset that you’re in it to win it otherwise your passion and confidence will never communicate. This is what they tell you all the time in Special Forces groups I tried out for.

>>20270760
The point of that stream is to show you how low the barrier of entry is to becoming a vtuber. All this time spent perfecting design, commissioning overlays, hyping a debut on Twitter, etc. when you should be streaming with the crappiest in character png you can find and building your ability to entertain and audience.

Kongou is literally proof that getting good as a streamer can carry you as much as spending time making vids and shorts. He’s built on hard work, perfecting a skill (zatsus), playing a character, building a community (amazing that he didn’t use discord) and is amazing at networking. In fact it’s much more preferable to grow this way so you don’t get littered with dead follows.

>>20274481
Kongou's so autistic he doesnt even use twitter beyond putting out a streaming time tweet and he has built a community without a discord server too. They just show up when he streams. He does a ton of gimmick streams that debuffs him but he uses those opportunities to get better at streaming and does a lot of unique stuff.

>>20274045
Yeah I saw that glancing through their twitter, only mentioned them cause they were mentioned a few threads ago and idk any other recent companies.

Falls nicely into a red flag to stay clear.

>minecraft
>PSO2:NG
>BotW
>MK8DX
>Splatoon 2
>Pokémon BD (haven’t started yet)
>Smash Ultimate
>Mario Odyssey
>Mario 3D World + BF
And that’s not all of the games that I have
I can’t decide on what to play next.

>>20246234
Watching me play makes you feel smart as I rub off on you.

>>20274481
The thing with Kongou is if you take away the 4chan views he has little to nothing left. I don't think he's a bad entertainer but he's essentially making content specifically for an extremely small potential audience. It's why despite those skills he's seen zero growth in a year as far as ccv. Would he have that audience if wvt viewers weren't exactly who he catered to?

>>20262351
Are you really going to post this every two threads? Answers won't change.

>>20262351
>convicted rapist tries to vtube without opsec, so people find out

You definitely deserve it if you are that dumb. Half of the people who watch vtubers literally get a boner from OSINT.

>>20274695
Mario 3D world is kino and short.
Botw is comfy but I'm willing to bet you're burned out and won't enjoy playing it more for the moment. Don't play games bored.
Speaking of boring, that's what pokemon streams tend to be, if you want to play pokemon, do a PvP tourney in collab.
Smash may be alright.

So I say go with either mario. Can't go wrong with mario.

>>20262351
>guise I'm a rapist and I am being harassed unjustly
>pwease help ;-;

>>20274481
This is flat out disingenuous.
Kongou started out with a nice quality live2d, themed overlay and channel art, and fucking lore.
Yes, it takes no effort to picrew a png and click „go live“ but if nobody is watching you it’s not worth dick. I can learn three guitar chords and go busking too, and I’ll come back with a big lid of nothing.
When people do the debut, it’s because they want to succeed, not because autism prevents them from going online.

TL; DR: how the fuck do you plan on building up an ability to entertain an audience when you have NO audience? Who‘s gonna give you feedback, my guy?

>>20274931
Kongou definitely has viewers that came from outside of /here/
His zero growth in ccv could more likely be attributed to a lot of the events he chooses to hold despite knowing it wouldn't help him grow. He literally spent almost every stream last month playing fucking, Library of Ruina and the month before was a Collab month with some people that have high CCV and a lot of people with not high CCV. If he really wanted to go for partner he could probably do so; I think him making the statement that he won't do collabs on his channel is probably an indicator that he wants to go us on that growth now
he's always been one to help the smaller streamers out though; the fact that he only ever raids down (and only to people below 20ccv) and is so willing to collab with anyone shows that I feel

>>20274931
To be fair, I was actually first recced Kongou from someone not even /here/ adjacent, who found him through someone who's too much of an SJW to ever associate with here either.

>>20275673
Kongou started from zero and all he had where the tools he could work with and an idea. He didn’t have an audience too when he started and you can see that on twitch tracker. You can cope as much as you want but he built himself from scratch and all this time spent on things like lore, live2ds, overlays could be spent actually streaming. In fact one of my favorite streamers is a PNG (and also Australian so she doesn’t stream at burger hours) and she’s one of the most entertaining I know

Is the /asp/ discord still a thing?

Hello /asp/! I started vtubing 5 days ago with a premade model (which I looked for from the far pages of nizima, because usually there are some hidden gems in there that people don't really often use) and I've been networking myself on Twitter.
I'm getting 10 CCV and I'm very close to hitting affiliate!
It's another day, let's keep doing our best!

Trying to figure out exactly what my PNG’s talking/not talking expressions should be. No, I will not do ahegao.

>>20270760
The point isn't "anyone can start with an audience" it's "making a chuuba isn't that hard". This is something a few others have done. The other two I'm aware of were artists but they did it using 100% free assets where most of the modifications they did were using other free assets and did minimal actual drawing, just mainly hue shifting and cropping.

>>20276100
Mouth open, mouth closed. Pretty simple.

Reminder that if you're a male you're better off streaming without an avatar at all and not debuff yourself.

>>20275907
he had the full streamer package, overlays, and bgm. He posted stuff on Twitter and talked to other people in chats and surprise surprise on Twitter too. He did his networking reps.
It’s not the same

Your shit taste for pngs is a separate issue. You probably think vtubers are just streamers with an avatar, too.

>>20276117
This guy gets it.

>>20276037
it is but it's kinda slow; no one has really asked to join in recent time

I would like to start collabs with people or just generally try to get more viewers on my stream as opposed to just streaming which I've basically done for over a year now but it feels hard to ask when you literally have 0 viewers and no following. i will have to start labbing memes and hopefully get something through twitter by putting my model up. It's rough.

>>20276188
If you refuse to face reality that’s on you. I built myself from the ground up and I have a nice community and I did it by working on my ability to entertain an audience and making friends with other vtubers (and even facecam streamers). I also started with a shitty PNG and nobody watching me (I can also name many other successful vtubers that started this way). You don’t need any fancy stuff to become a good streamer, all you need is… to be a good streamer. Take a PNG of your character concept and start streaming with whatever concept you want to achieve. It’s certainly more productive than acting like a little bitch on /asp/ like the NGMI you sound like

>>20276457
So, you want to be a leech

>>20276457
If you’ve been streaming for a year with no viewers still then there’s clearly a fundamental issue you need to fix here

>>20276506
>To become a good streamer, you need to be… a good streamer.
I don’t know what you think you have accomplished here, but you sure told me. Have fun hanging out with other losers.

>>20276258
Maybe it's time to open it again? I don't think many new aspies know it exists.

>>20276710
Not them, but wow! Have fun being a lonesome, bitter loser I guess.

>>20276714
It’s always open, just dm Lance Maverick on Twitter

Second/upgraded “default” outfits or models
Would you continue with your initial concept, or would you drop your initial design for something else?

>>20276914
At least I’m not one of you faggots playing FotM with a fucking donut steel PNG and no overlay while on a discord call with friends and pretending like that’s vtubing.
See you in a year with the same fat zero in the corner.

>>20277122
But you literally are one of us faggots. You're posting in /asp/ right now, anon. Why even bother reading this thread if you've got it all figured out?

>>20276646
Not quite, it's more like I'd gladly offer something to others too but i literally have nothing. But it does sound like it true.

>>20276688
I'm in the process of trying to figure it out. If I can't even generate a couple hundred followers on twitter I'm probably just a really boring and uninteresting person.

>>20276714
>>20277122
This is weapons grade projection. You can hurl insults at everyone but it won’t change the fact that nobody will watch you with an attitude like this (assuming you ever press the live button). If you do please post the link here so I can laugh at how bad it’ll be and maybe you can use it as reference on what not to do

Man
I’m trying to get started streaming and posting on my vtuber twitter, but who am I even supposed to try interacting with? Just random big-name indie and corpo vtubers, big-name steamers. ???
I’m socially awkward as fuck and always have been.

>>20277253
Anon is typing...

>>20277237
> I'm probably just a really boring and uninteresting person.
If you think so then now’s the time to fix that. I was pretty introverted myself when I started but got better at talking as I went along. Try watching your own vods and judge whether or not you’d like watching your own content

>>20276710
>>20277253
Meant to add this to the reply not the other one

>>20276258
Because i don't think most people new to/asp/ aware it have a discord.

>>20277283
Streamers are usually really appreciative of people who interact with their tweets since most viewers don’t usually follow them there. Try interacting with streamers you like?

>>20277201
Unlike you idiots I don’t fool myself into thinking anyone ever would care about watching some random ass png
>>20277253
Why don’t you post your channel first, mr I-have-a-community

>>20277568
You are genuinely projecting a lot here, sad sack, crab-ass anon. You don't even stream

>>20277613
Neither do you

>>20277505
At the moment, it’s mostly some >Hololive girls, but once in a while I might catch Snuffy, girl_dm or ironmouse. Also random LTT streams if I ever manage to catch those or the odd Ludwig who I think is the only actual non tech or vtuber streamer lmao

>>20277652
I do, actually

>>20277725
Those streamers probably won’t see your replies so try aiming lower and seeing which streamers you like in that range and start interacting with them

>>20276714
I'll bring it up but also if you link yourself I could send you the link
>>20277372
yeah honestly ever since the /asp/cord schizo arc last June I think people on the server just chose to shill it less because anyone in the server got schizo'd about; I think it's been long enough that no one cares as much anymore though

>>20277788
Link or no balls

>>20277568
Little_S had a solid 100+ ccv and was still growing before he went crazy

>>20277826
Not while I'm engaging in an anonymous slapfight. Take my balls instead

>>20277868
Meszii also consistently gets 50+ viewers despite constant debuffs like taking breaks for weeks, only ever raiding one person, playing whatever she wants, and being Australian

>>20277317
I consider myself to be rather good at talking, but i suppose what i have to say doesn't really resonate with people. Watching my own VODs gives me the same feeling as watching any other chuuba. it's kinda fine but i wanna click away after 5 minutes. I'm not really a viewer, the closest i have gotten to staying longer is on mint's stream but she's such a positive and nice person, I'm not sure i can emulate that easily especially as a male lmao

I got a view on my Niji audition vid. I hope it means something.

>>20278074
it was me

>>20278061
> i wanna click away after 5 minutes. I'm not really a viewer, the closest i have gotten to staying longer is on mint's stream
Well there’s your problem. You can’t enjoy your own content. If you want to be a good streamer you need to be an active viewer to soak it in what you like and remove what you don’t like. Your target audience should be yourself since you’ll be streaming as yourself and want to attract people who enjoy the same things you do.

>>20277505
NTA, but I'm torn since I mostly watch small corpos in the high 2view/low 3view range. It's giving me anxiety over even starting since I don't know if I have the time to start watching 10-20 view chuubas so that I can interact with & get recognized by them & continue doing so while I'm also streaming myself.

>>20278326
> It's giving me anxiety over even starting since I don't know if I have the time to start watching 10-20 view chuubas

Just take it slow. You’ll find people to watch and have the opportunity to make friends with as you go along. It can be streamers who follow you by chance, or you stumble upon browsing a game category, or other ways like /wvt/ (I browse the thread a lot and will interact with you if I like you if you ever shill yourself there). Browsing categories everyday and making an effort to interact with every tweet will burn you out. Just be natural and check twitter whenever you feel like it (like the toilet or when you’re bored). If you like a streamer interacting with their tweets won’t feel like work (this is the ideal relationship you want to find)

>>20278157
Hmm, i thought about this. The problem i have is that i just think watching someone is boring, but streaming myself is fun. I want to do something I have to keep doing something. But maybe the main take-away is that i shouldn't have started streaming at all.

>>20278698
What drew you to streaming in the first place? What is your motivation for streaming?

going through some of the premade P2U models on nizima/booth right now and there doesn't seem to be any good male vtuber models that's similar in quality as shibafs / jenny's works. does anyone have any recommendations?

>>20278902
Hmm, I believe it's a genuine interest in wanting to talk with people. I love the idea of having a bunch of people throwing thoughts and comments at you, and you get to answer them all. Even if it is very rare, when i do get a chatter that's a bit more active, i love talking to them. Sometimes i even unconsciously stop playing the game for a while as i converse with them because it's the main attraction for me in that moment.

That's all really...

Join a discord.
I've used the one from https://twitter.com/ENVtubers a few times when someone's dropped out of a collab. They have a dedicated role to be pinged for "Hey, who wants to do a collab". I've managed some on 12 hours notice there

>>20248480
I watched about an hour of it. I really like your design! The ears remind me of another design i enjoy, and it's cute :) I'd say it was an alright first stream. Naturally you'll be fumbling at the start with your words, but you can definitely teach yourself to overcome those habits, especially when you get more comfortable and confident. Also Minecraft is a pretty safe game to stream, I had no problems with it. I'll be looking out for more of your content to see how you grow. I wish you luck! :)

>>20279500
Thanks!
I’ll continue to try and improve myself.

>>20279427
So you're a leech, dislike the hobby AND all you want is attention. As a male. Holy shit man

>>20279427
There are easier ways to talk to people if you ask me. You should primarily be looking to entertain as a streamer, I think

Is /asp/ discord safe?

>>20280205
I wished i had your ability to see only the negative in everything, i claim to be a pretty negative person but even i'm not as bad as you. Look, my goals may not be as noble as "i want the world to be a happy place and bring smiles and love to the people of the world", like apparently everyone else, but that doesn't mean i'm overly selfish either. I obviously want people to enjoy coming to my stream and find something redeemable in it, but i'd be lying if i said i don't also do it for attention.

Saying i dislike the hobby is a stretch, i think it's genuinely interesting. I'm working on a backstory, with an integrated interactive video game especially made for the stream (by myself), i have an extensive 3D model in the works with a transformation to a different 2D one (human to dragon transformation) that can be triggered by viewers with interactions and i have been streaming since all the way back when livestream.com around and i streamed with a bitrate of 500kbs. It's just that i don't like the "viewing" aspect of it. I can appreciate other streams and i do hang out in streams of chuubas i have gotten to know, but it's just not something i actively enjoy. My attention span is rather short for that.

>>20280302
I'll have to figure out how to go from "talking" to "entertaining" then i suppose. I feel like most small streamers do kind of just play-by-play commentary for the game and bounce off of chat, but maybe i'm not seeing it. Part of it may be that doing variety instead of establishing a small core of fans of a franchise or something kills any traction i get instantly. If i stuck playing just Digimon games like i did a month ago i'd probably be still at 10CCV instead of 0. It's just that eventually i'll run out of games to play from that franchise. And i'm not entertaining enough to transfer those over to other games.

>>20280903
Your goals are wrong. The reason why nobody is carrying from your Digimon streams is that you’re not bonding with any of your viewers. They are people too. Do you make sure to greet them every time they come in? Do you know anything about them? The games you play only matter for making sure you don’t burn out while streaming. If you just wanted to play games you can just do that off stream and enjoy on your own time. The stream is for others not yourself.

What would you do if somehow you managed to leak your face on stream, but it was with very unflattering angle and lightning?
And some distortion.

>>20280492
What do you mean?

Please don't take this the wrong way but this sounds truly bizarre

>>20281137
I think that makes sense. The stream is for others. I usually greet every viewer and try to ask them how they are doing and what they have been up to, but maybe i need to be a little more conscious about it. I have enjoyed getting into the Digimon Franchise because i came in as a basically outsider and we talked a lot about it and i had a great time, maybe i should use that opporturnity to go back to play some more of those games with your advice in mind. thanks anon

>>20281577
I took this the wrong way, once i find the perfect basedjack you are done kiddo. But what do you mean by bizarre, my reasoning of why i like the streaming / chuubaing or the contradiction that i enjoy doing it but not watching it? for the latter it's probably in the vein of "id probably love participating in motorsports because it seems like fun driving fast cars, but i'd not sit here and watch someone else do it"

>>20282152
>But what do you mean by bizarre, my reasoning of why i like the streaming / chuubaing or the contradiction that i enjoy doing it but not watching it?
That and the viewer-initiated transforming model thing. I'm not sure that I would be drawn to a stream or really be entertained or engaged by that, but I don't know your audience
>"id probably love participating in motorsports because it seems like fun driving fast cars, but i'd not sit here and watch someone else do it"
That kinda makes sense, but you really should be watching your own VODs all the same

>>20281378
Delete the VOD. If applicable, download the original, cut that part out and reupload.

>>20282320
I'm not gonna shit up the thread with my terrible ideas, it's mostly meant to be gimmicks anyways so nothing that's supposed to carry the stream, more like in the vein of "make the streamer do this for 500 channel points", but in this case they could decide which model is being used and i might change my personality / voice a bit depending on which one is used. There's more to it, but that's all in the future.

I'll be doing more reviewing regardless, thanks.

>>20280492
No it closed originally due to drama kek

>>20283291
Spill the beans, I could use a laugh

some guy say mean things to other person and they got angry

Hard to say, it being private and seemingly all the members would have to earnestly be streaming or attempting to do so might cut down on it

>>20283291
It closed due to backlash from existing and being posted here. The drama you're referring to is when Lance became the owner and the forever tba who started it leaving.

Sorry I missed this. Nursing a hangover...
Always be very, very careful with your personal information. You do not need to give your full name, address, etc. to ANY agency unless you're signing a contract with them. Other things like time zone, age, and previous channels is actually important though, but nothing that would be personally identifying. If you have concerns or questions, ask them during the interview. Legit agencies won't mind, and should welcome the opportunity to put the concerns to rest. The first generation of PRISM Project have said that the ad they replied to to get the interview was extremely vague and sketchy, but the agency itself turned out to be above board. Just be thorough and trust your instincts. As to whether it's worth it, ask yourself if the revenue you project you'd be making (after the agency cut) would be more than you're making now, or whether the loss would make up for whatever services you'd be receiving from them. That'll give you your answer.

>>20284007
people used to schizo about the server but considering no one in the server has broken down and done anything like leak a memberlist I'd say there probably aren't schizos in there

>>20286533
I'm not them but that is heartening to hear. Now I will ask you another question: are the people there cool and nice

>>20286006
fuck it's that bad huh? well i can only try to get rid of my narcissism. any advice anon?

>>20286584
i would say so

>>20286584
Totally subjective. We know people like lance, Elliott, golden Kenji, bodega, etc are all in it (or were in it) if that means anything to you.

>>20286606
I'd ask myself what I really want out of vtubing, first. From what you told us there's almost certainly a better way to acquire what you want out of it.

Not that you can't become a sucessful vtuber regardless, there are others that did so. But what you're describing to us is the equivalent of the vapid girl that enters a nerd hobby for attention and can barely answer anything about it. Which is where the meme about gatekeepig women with questions about the hobby came from, actually.

How do you get rid of this nagging “I don’t know if I can do this”/“I feel vulnerable and uncomfortable” feeling when starting out streaming for real?

>>20280492
it's safe in the sense that you're not going to get doxxed or tank your reputation outside of 4chan just by being part of it. it's not safe in the sense that it's really just a circlejerk of friends treating vtubing as a social group and you'll never incline if you get too involved with them. crabs in a bucket mentality and they pamper each other for low views even though they all share the same viewers.

>>20288159
Just fight through it and keep streaming. It'll pass or it won't, but you'll know at least.

>>20287521
That's uh... Well if i give off that impression i suppose i just have to accept that. I thought having been streaming since forever would at least give me some credibility, but there's no point in trying to prove otherwise.

>>20288159
when you get 0 views and realize that no matter how badly you fucked up, no one will see it or care.

To that one anon who said it would take a long ass time to finish their audition video... What exactly are you doing for it that's going to take so long?

>>20289132
overthinking

>>20289132
nta but im a fucking tryhard and remixing/mastering one of their songs + compressing all my other "talents" into a 5 minute video
99% odds they dont even see it but i give no fucks

>>20281378
>>20282614
See that's the smart thing. I'd want to make lore out of that somehow were that to happen. Assuming I were stupid enough to mess up a handcam stream like that

>>20283585
I cannot believe it. Someone was mean on the internet?

Auditioners that had views on their videos:

Where did the video analytics say the "Traffic source" of the views came from? Was it Twitter? Seems like that's how to people reviewing the vids send the link to each other?

>Start rigging my model
>model is too complicated for the free version
>Need to use the 42 day free trial to really rig everything I want.
>Start adding more and more features and shit onto my model to justify using the free trial
>Have barely started since now i'm putting in alternate hairstyles and a every possible hand accessory around.
I fell into a trap because i'm stupid.
How easy is it to just reinstall live2d and get the free trial again? Do I just use a new email?

>>20289132
I mean my video took a good 10 hours to complete from recording my intro script in one take, to refreshing my stream clip montage, adding music, mixing audio, adding effects and transitions, adding memes, getting people I trust to review it, applying feedback, etc.

But I'm extra as fuck by nature so that's just me lol

>>20269422
>full copium that if someone boring like Uki can make it in, then an enthusiastic/passionate person like them has a good chance.
i know this feel but i remind myself that Uki has the Elira nepotism buff. Uki's apex stream was the most normie 2view tier apex stream. literal any streamer above 50 views on twitch would have been better than Uki. i hate it but it just goes to show the power of nepotism over lack of any talent.

I think I don't want to make a 5 minute video. I think I want to make a 4 minute one! Is that bad?

>>20290520
Just find a cracker. I got a cracked version of 4.0.whatever, doubt they've added any new features that warrant an update.

>>20291524
If you can show off all of your skills and appeal in 4 mins, go for it.

>>20291642
Wasn't sure there would be one but guess i'll look around.

I got mine off youtube, just sort by upload date and use commonsense.

>>20240384
Got a reply for you.

lol there's a guy who's trying to get into vtubing and started dabbling with Coinbase back in January apparently
any advice for him in a nutshell?
I doubt anything as common as Coinbase/bitcoin etc is cutting-edge

[Yesterday, 10:06 PM]
:
back
coinbase is great for holding coins but youre not going to get rich unless something blows up but by the time its on coinbase it already has most likely. its great though for buying coins while theyre cheap and legit holding them for 3-5 years and make a good return
its just not instant gratification , its a smart longterm way to build a portfolio though
you can also stake your coins on coinbase and get a percentage back (APY) a year for lending out your crypto. UST (Terra Luna's stablecoin can earn you back around 20-30% a year with anchor portocol) thats the best if you can lend out a good amount a year. say you had 100k to put in an account, you'd get paid 20-30k a year for just holding the funds and you still own it all
if you want to day trade though i'd recommend Mango Markets on Solona ecosystem for 1-10x leverage trades
but hold longterm in like coinbase, cold storage, binance, ect for rewards . id take my profits from trading and stake it in coinbase ect like u said above and hold my funds/ profits in a stablecoin that way
stake it in coinbase ect like *I said above

>>20292301
Thanks, i'll check it out

Thinking of becoming a androgynous chuuber, I streamed a long time ago speedrunning games and had a small audience (70 average viewers) but I didn't have time to stream anymore so I stopped.

How do you guys think of your designs? Do you just look at other things you like and mix them together into one Vtuber? I have money for commissions but I just need to decide what to make.

I also know how to network on Twitter and edit videos so I think I have a good chance if I farm clips on YT/tiktok, thanks for anyone who can help me get ideas going for a design.

>>20292491
for one im about to commission, im literally just mashing together a bunch of features (somewhat related) from a bunch of different characters into one. i wanted an oni-human samurai kinda look, so i just took a bunch of references for different features for an artist to draw

>>20292491
I made a "mood board" of characters/traits I enjoyed and handed them off to a character designer with a short description of what i wanted and things I wanted to avoid (facial hair, short hair, fur, etc) and just went from there They sent me a sketch, I provided a few small changes after sitting on it for half a day or so, and then they finished it up.

I did this twice and actually liked the first thing both artists sent me and just went with the one I liked the most.

Does anyone know any riggers competent with more "painterly" style models with less anime styling, e.g. similar or slightly more complex textures than Cimrai's, and with a nose more pronounced than a single dot? I found the rigger for pic related but their comms are closed seemingly indefinitely, and $2200 USD is a bit tight for me, even though I know this kind of request is certainly going to be pricier than your usual live2d model.

What should you use for a go live notification?

>>20293716
doesnt matter

>>20293059
>>20293118
Thanks, this helps a lot

>>20292491
I think of my designs as to what would attract males more without being flat out bait androgynous is defnitely the way to go or fujo bait, and what theme I can go for that wouldn't be too chuuni. After that I just go through styles and see if I want to steal any.
Currently redesigning an old design I had that I couldn't figure out a theme for when I was working on it.

>>20292301
nta but is this what you used?
