/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

If you read this you’re GMI >:)

>>21247531
no YOU

>>21247531
don't care i just want to have fun

>>21247531
That'd be cool, but honestly i'm just going to be doing this for fun.

>>21247531
>>21247454
Define with your own words what you consider "making it". I'll start:
>making at least 2x minimum wage out of streaming alone

>>21249826
reaching 30-50 ccv would be neat

Bump

>>21249826
I used to think getting into corpo is "making it", but then I realized that there are niji 2 views.
My definition of making it is having 3 views while being able to make whatever content I want without leeching and without tailoring the content based on the audience, and able to take breaks whenever I want while still retaining the numbers

This has been asked before, but are there any downsides to applying to holo and niji as a nobody?
I technically have a "proven track record" of stuff on my socials, it's just not a lot.

>>21253845
No downsides, just don't have high expectations. It'll also put you on their radar for if/when you apply again

>>21254473
Thanks, pal! I'll fuckin do it, then.

>>21249826
Makin' enough money to do it for a living.
I'd really like to make it into Hololive.

>>21254623
Good luck!

Serious question here, /asp/. Graduated 1.5 years ago with good credentials and living with my parents without needing to pay for anything. I have a job and got a raise twice so far, set to be promoted soon. Though I hate the 9-5 and want to quit to stream full-time (along with pursuing other passions that could lead to a career in the future) and set a deadline of 1-1.5 years to make something out of it. My parents don't 100% approve but concede I'm still young and it wouldn't be entirely career-ending, and they can still financially support me 100% for a long time. If you were in my situation would you do it?

>>21255370
I don't see why you can't just start streaming while working, personally. You might want to know for sure whether or not you actually enjoy streaming and are any good at it before you let that job go.

is there a way i can crack live2d premium?

>>21255522
Should have noted I'm already streaming and really enjoy it. I don't want to doxx myself but I've seen growth I find promising but it has noticeable dips whenever I get too busy with work and am too tired to stream at all. Not to mention the marketing and networking and everything else in between.

>>21249826
have enough viewers to play transformice together

>>21255747
Well then yeah, that's a no-brainer. You have some very generous parents and I think if they're willing to support you for an entire year while you do this then you should take full advantage of it.

>>21255370
Depends on your job really.
Are you a banker, engineer, lawyer, startup guy, etc working for top firms that could go up to 80 hours work week? The answer is big no. Keep your job and have streaming as a side thing.
Are you working a 9-5 job 40 hours work week with limited exit opportunities? Then you could quit and restart your career anytime you want.

https://voca.ro/1cJhhHJClCzW
Thoughts anyone?
It's supposed to be a 'bad' take because it's a first take of a new song as I read.

>>21253845
the downside is that empirically they havent actually hired any "nobodies" and the bar is getting higher each wave.

now of course you never know for sure so might as well shoot your shot, but its likely they have a blanket filter process that weens out most of the no names

>>21256952
Nice voice but I can't understand shit.

>>21255747
if you can get like 300 ccv every stream 4-5 streams a week then i would say go for it. just be prepared to have a back up plan because being a content creator isnt 100% reliable career, you can get cancelled or just fall off

>>21255370
I have a friend in a similar position who is making a game instead of streaming.

I probably wouldn't do it, mainly because my job keeps me in a consistent schedule and in a healthier style of living. I would keep streaming as a side gig in general unless I REALLY blew up and money wouldn't ever be an issue.

>>21256802
I work for a top multinational firm in my industry but we don't have anything as serious as 80-hour work weeks. I have a good relationship with everyone (they've even met my parents) and there's a high chance I could tell them I'll apply for the job again after a year and they'll accept though I'll obviously be starting from square one.

looking forward to my acception letter : )

>>21258159
What did you do for the first 5 secs? Also, seems like they keep dipping out as soon as people start speaking. Inb4 voice filter rrat

>>21258339
>hear ESL accent
>close video
many such cases

>>21258159
Holo or niji?

>>21258387
Sasuga intern-kun. Peak efficiency

>>21258339
>>21258419

>>21258683
Post vocaroo.

>>21258757
https://voca.ro/12eoYZbotfmx

>>21259188
I give it 2 seconds before closing it.

>>21257758
Can you consider going part-time?
I've considered if I ever started taking off, then I'd start tapering my work to try and maintain a similar(ish) income, but also be able to focus more on streaming over time.
Quitting to go full-time... I'd maybe raise it with your viewers. Say to them that you've been thinking about going full time. Maybe set a sub-goal to go for it?

>>21257758
I'd say go for it. Any industry job is stable enough that you can restart with a 1 year gap in CV even if you're at management level, and you're still fresh.
You already possess a top company name in your CV anyway so it won't be that bad even if your network in that company fizzled out in the future

>>21255747
Ideally you should not quit your job until the amount of money you get from streaming is equal to the amount of money you get from working at that job or at the very least, minimum wage.

>>21255370
All it takes is 3 streams a week of 3-4 hours each stream to incline no matter what you do at minimum.

Streaming longer hours for full time does not necessarily guarantee success. Even if you're successful, you'll have to make beyond minimum wage in order to consider even stopping your career to stream full time. In other words, dont quit your job for the streaming and keep it purely as a hobby. Unless you can guarantee you'll get to 1k ccv and beyond (which is mostly down to marketing, connections and luck to get there), you shouldnt be quitting since those factors are not streaming hours growth related.

>>21260047
>All it takes is 3 streams a week of 3-4 hours each stream to incline no matter what
this is bad advice that leads to so many permanent 2-views
if you want to incline you have to create content that people can reasonably be expected to find and watch. streaming can be used as an engine to create that content, but streaming alone isn't enough

Is it cringe to use a Japanese name if you cant speak it?

>>21260754
Use whatever name makes you happy. Being a VTuber is already cringe so stop worrying about that shit

>>21260754
People will judge you for it, but those people are literal retards and you should ignore them

>>21260754
Japanese people use english things and try to speak it even when they don't know a lick of it.

Why indie chuubas in twitter always either spreading negatively or horny tweets.

>>21261413
Worst, Germany things.

>>21260751
yes that's what I meant. 3 long streams a week at minimum, spending the rest of the time doing work that will help you incline like networking, marketing, content creation with clips, videos and other content and as well as taking that necessary time off to do real life stuff in order to keep your streams interesting.

Aldia you've got to improve your sound quality. Your current audio setup doesn't do you justice.
You have a nice voice.

Looks like Hololive only watched 4 seconds of my audition. I guess that means they didn't like my voice? Feels bad.

>>21256952
Your voice sounds alright but you should learn to project it a bit better! It's too hard to understand what you're actually saying.

>>21253292
So for you nearly nobody ever makes it, even(especially) in corpos?

When is it appropriate to designfag your entire body and not just the upper third?
If you’re planning on full body VR or hand tracking?

>>21263526
You can get away with only an upper body as long as you want to. Lower body stuff matters if you wanna show it off sometimes or if you like to get commissions where it'll show up. Don't overdesign it though, it's never going to be as important as the rest.

>>21261431
Women only have three settings, anon. Horny, bitchy and sad.

I'm curious, what is the usual consensus on those retweet campaigns for model reveals? I was thinking of one for my live 2d reveal, though I'm mostly turning it into a bug joke because I personally don't care for them much.

how important do you guys think the 5 minute "suggested" limit is? since it seems like they dont listen past the first few seconds for a lot of auditions anyway, do you think it matters if your video is a closer to 10 minutes?

>>21263970
I think they're really gross and cringe but vtweeters somehow manage to quadruple my followers within a few months by doing shit like this so fuck me I guess.

>>21263970
Just did one myself a few weeks ago and fell short by 20 RTs. I found that if you don't have a famous mama/papa or friends with a high following (even better if it's an established VTuber) to RT it, it's tough to get past even 50 RTs. You'll resort to unspoken RT for RT and that's kind of falling into an echo chamber because they wouldn't be the ones who'll watch your content. Though if you'll be shooting for lower than 50, there's almost no point to just set the reveal as dates rather than number of RTs.

I'd argue it's still an okay way to start networking and gaining an audience though, even if it's just 3 to 5 people. As embarrassing as it is, no one cares if you fail to hit the goal.

>>21264647
*no point so just

I did it guys! I started streaming with my model to a bunch of bots it was a lot of fun I just wish my arcade stick buttons would sound a little quieter during the stream but it was fun I think I should start using twitter and make a more organized schedule.

>>21263714
That's not true; they have at least five. You are forgetting perfect angel that brightens my day and sadistic devil nightmare creature

>>21264647
I have no intention of reaching the goal, I'm a 2 view demanding 15k retweets like an asshole because I think it's funny with effectively nothing being revealed until the 15k mark.

>>21264837
Congratulations anon, maybe one day you can double the number of bots <3

>>21264494
>they dont watch more than first few seconds
>let me double the suggested limit
bruh what

>>21265179
thank you! i will try

>tfw have two different conceptual ideas for accessories (especially for eventua 3D version) but not sure if I should choose one over another…
Eh, I’ll let future me and the 3D modeller decide. :D

>>21265126
Kek, who knows, you might actually reach the goal if people retweet it because they find humor in it. That would be an amazing initial boost if it works.

>>21260047
That is a fucking lie.

Your choices are
1. get boosted
2. get lucky
3. spend large amounts of money on hidden advertising

>>21264837
nice, keep it up! say hi to anotherttvviewer for me

>>21264494
They might like your written application, but see that your video cant even follow very simple instructions and not bother watching. I'd say that's the worst case scenario for you. Realistically they wont even notice and youll either get 0 views or 5 seconds like the rest of us

Question, do twitch count myself as a viewer if I monitoring my stream via mobile with same account?

>>21265956
yes

>>21255370
No you retard you are supposed to keep working normally while doing this part-time. Don't be a fucking leech.

>>21266118
Hey, if their parents are content to let them keep riding the gravy train I say they should take full advantage of it since they have as of yet not had enough shame to move out on their own despite making good money

>>21266059
So a lot of 1 viewers in twitch is also 0views.
Sad.

>>21257213
They keep "raising the bar" when they basically got all the biggest indies that aren't Shoto, Bao or Kenji.

>>21266203
That would still make him a leech. It's taking advantage of someone's good will.
>since they have as of yet not had enough shame to move out on their own despite making good money
Burger moment.

>>21266257
>Burger
You people are obsessed!

How did you guys come up with your outfit? Your clothes? Your fashion?
I'm really having trouble with this. I have the character completely settled but I cannot for the life of me come up with what to wear.

My live2d is coming along well, I'm almost done with it! every time I go on here it gives me motivation. thank you /asp/ies

>>21266420
Think about what game, anime, movies, manga(and many more things) you like and use that as your reference.

>>21266420
Simple: Stuff that I like.
Basically, does your character have any lore or setting? Look for existing characters that have a similar motif and see what they wear.

Good afternoon aspies, what are your short term and long term goals for streaming (whether currently streaming or in the future)?

>>21266813
Short term: learn english, learn social skill.
Long term: move to England or Northern Ireland.

>>21266813
short term: get double digit CCV
long term: get the corpo money

>>21266241
well they raise the floor at the very least, maybe not the ceiling because you really cant get bigger than gura. i think as long as you can beat the number filter you can have a decent shot if you genuinely have the right talent and personality for what they want since baelz's numbers weren't all that impressive but she has a perfect package of what they were looking for in a generic hololive template girl like most of the IDs where they just sing and can speak 3 languages

>>21266813
short term: grow a following for prerecorded content, build my brand on as many platforms as possible and start having a consistent upload schedule
long term: convert that following into 3 digits CCV then hopefully have good enough numbers to get corpo attention, or find good enough growth to stay indie

Are you chuubas ever suddenly get 100+ random followers during the stream(bots?).

>>21268152
What is the question here esl-kun?

I just started a few weeks ago and I've gotten large amounts of followers during streams but the most I've gotten was like 30 and I'm certain they are not bots.

>>21266420
Think up a motif/theme, then google image search that theme + fashion. Do not make your theme "gamer". Nobody gives a shit about gamers, not even other gamers.

>>21268251
Something like this, but I guess I also find the answer in that reddit thread.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitch/comments/gaxci6/randomly_got_over_2500_followers_at_once_while/

So this is my current situation, what do you think bros?
>music producer, made a couple indie albums and uploaded them
>play as a guitarist in a prog metal band
>work as a graphic designer and 3D artist
>can talk for 3+ hours and make random bullshit up
>decently /fit/ not that it matters tho
>can speak 4 languages
cons
>have a really shitty nasal voice, unironically a mouthbreather, have to either take some singing or voice acting classes
>my English is far from perfect and can't speak nippongo
>never streamed or produced voiced content
What sould I do fellow aspies? I feel like I've got some potential but I'm still missing some essential shit and I'd like to go corpo from the start.
Should I work more on getting followers for my art and music or should I try to make some shitty youtube videos?

>>21268822
just stream

>>21268822
just stream and do your reps

>>21268822
you should start streaming yourself making music on twitch. no model or facecam necessary

>>21268822
What's your follower count for your music/art? It probably has to be 50k-100k or so for them to consider you without ANY streaming experience. I feel like the big corpo bar is much much lower for streaming type content creators than musicians/artists, unfortunately.

>>21266420
I mostly just pulled elements from my favorite character designs using characters from games and other media while adding my own personal flare and trying to consider some practicality where stuff felt a bit forced

>>21269136
who are you referring to? ina had streaming experience and even had a vtuber model, sana is obviously nepotism. as far as i know no not a single purely artist person has made it to be corpo(without nepotism)

>>21268822
With those qualifications you sound like the type that should be making their fame working for chuubas, not as one. Ride the wave a bit the same way artists have done then just push a strong debut with the support of a bunch of people you've worked for. Artists do it all the time.

>>21269405
Sana, yeah. Don't get to hung up on nepotism, for your own sake. That path is poison

>>21266813
Just keep up my weekly 3 streams and try to get a redebut in once some stuff is ready, also wanting to get into singing, but that's been a process.

>>21268935
>>21268963
>>21269089
I was thinking about some meme reviews of games, music or art on youtube, essay shit seems to go a lot these days and they are quite low effort desu.
>>21269136
biggest song is 30k with the metal band, the rest is indie shit I made for fun and sitting at 2-3k
>>21269436
What's the best way to do that? Just making fan content for vtubers until they notice me or send my CV to the company hoping to be hired?

Thanks for the answers broskis, this vtuber crap helped me through some shitty times and now I wanna give back.

>>21269615
yeah it makes me seethe but im mature enough to understand its a neccesary evil in the hiring process and impossible to eliminate especially in entertainment and highly sought after jobs

>>21269249
>>21266517
Won't pulling out out of other characters make the design highly derivative at best and an outright rip-off/cheap bootleg at worst?

>>21266481
congratulations

>>21266420
I wear a button-down and khakis everyday (even when I'm not working) so I went with that.

Is there a subtle signal aspies have devised to let the rest of us know in the event that one of us actually gets into the big two?

>>21269801
Open commissions if you have time and pick a few mid-sized chuubas you like and make some fan-works for and mix in a few larger ones just so there's eyes on you. If you're starting off brand new as opposed to having a current artist account then you'll need to spread some feelers out in order for people to get an idea of who you are and what you do.

>>21270358
who cares? it's not happening and dog whistles are retarded and serve zero purpose

>>21270428
J...just trying to have fun and be positive

>>21266420
my best design tip is to have a recognizeable face where the clothing you wear doesn't matter.
for my clothing design I went with something simple and cozy with small details that make it unique.
honestly don't overthink it! you can always commission a different outfit down the line.

>>21266813
short term: having a small community that adores me (50 views goal!).
long term: make $$$$ bank bank so I can continue never working. being big enough where I can do charity streams and people actually donate.

>>21266420
I have a pretty plain design honestly. It's not a hoodie or anything, but it's really nothing special on purpose(I do like my hair though). I already have a bit of a name on YouTube so it's mostly just playing off of my username for the fun of it. If I was gonna start from scratch with a whole new name and all that, I'd probably be something else entirely

i haven't uploaded a video onto youtube in years, and my most recent videos on the channel i most recently use have barely any views. If i was to submit my audition video, would I be better off using one my old channels from when I was like 12 that had really shitty, cringy videos, but they had better view numbers overall?

>>21270606
If I ever get in I'll just straight up tell people I took advice from a buncha wholesome 4chan anons.

>>21270993
Looking to get shafted quick eh?

>>21266813
Short Term:
Make every weekend stream in April be a unique game/topic of focus. Upload an edited compilation of the stream on YouTube once a week.

Long Term:
Cover every song released by my favourite band. Release 2 original albums.

>>21270358
Sounds like an open invitation for stalkers to link your old and new work.
Sounds fun.
There was an anime called hacka dolls that had characters with numbers, usually they would be called hacka doll 1 and so on, but sometimes they would shorten it to the number and chan.
I don't think I need to say any more. You can probably guess who is the character and what's her name.
If you want to wink to your roots this is how you do it.

>>21270358
i have this retarded fantasy where i ask the chat if ayame senpai likes dogs to signal /vt/

>>21259188

>>21256952
You've got to have better mixing. All you can hear from this is that you are producing some bases. Don't do your voice dirty, figure out your audio properly.

>>21271304
>Sounds like an open invitation for stalkers to link your old and new work.
Why are people so worried about this when it's something that happens CONSISTENTLY with every single gen? We know all their identities sometimes before they even voice reveal or debut. You think not linking them will somehow prevent anyone from finding out?

>>21271326
>このばかやろの夢は。。。
>あやめちゃん犬が好きですか?

>>21271583
The internet is frankly terrifying.

>>21258159
Seeing others post their watch time makes me feel better about mine, but then I remember there are others that got multiple views + at least half their shit watched and feel lame again

>>21271754
OK, but why are you worried about it happening when it will and has always happened without fail? All the Nijimales were known the second they voice revealed for the trailer and half or more of them were suspected months prior when they debuted. Same goes for every single other EN gen for both Holo and Niji.

It's not a matter of "if" people find out, it's when and it'd take maybe a couple of days tops to make the link.

>>21270358
I'd imagine the thread mantra of "stay grounded, stay hopeful" but that's more of a terumi thing and she kind of went off the deep end really quickly

Is it worth going for a 2 computer stream set up? Have one for gaming, then a second computer for actually streaming/storing video archives?

>>21271917
Is it really that bad at the moment? How long has it been like this?
Guess you might as well tell vt you love them and not let some punk get the headline.

>>21272241
Are you sure a 2 computer solution is what you are looking for? It sounds more like you need a server or a few HDDS (depending on size)

>>21272370
>How long has it been like this?
Since Day 0 with HoloEN. There's not even a "headline" to have.

>>21272445
Has anyone openly talked about 4chan outside of natsumi moe?

3d is the future, embrace it 2d chuubas will die off

>>21273296
No! I will continue to learn more about Live2D until my model has a crazy amount of variations and unique assets!

>>21266813
Get 10+ CCV, get model upgrade done, get some automated redeems with lioran/eqv.
I also want to start making offline content, not just editing clips and other online stuff. I've got some ideas, and some time over the coming weeks.

>>21273296
>3d is the future
3d was the OG
Different tech, different benefits, different downsides, all in all up to the artist if it is good or bad.
Same arguments there has always been to the "3dcg vs 2d" nonesense.

What is the best way to AirPlay to a Mac or PC and capture it in OBS that is as free or cheap as possible?
Thinking of dsloing a drawing stream soon but I don’t want to drag out my 22” XP-PEN or deal with the glare from my kitchen lights.

>>21270189
It depends on how you do it, if you take stuff 1:1 yeah, you're going to risk being derivative/a ripoff, the important thing is finding stuff you like and using it to build a framework, unless you want to buy a pre-made model because you have no creativity. You could start with a few adjectives to help get a feel for what you want, but the important part in my experience is focusing on what you want, you could also pay a professional if you are truly stumped.

>>21273296
You say this despite it being the 3D chuubas who have died off. Even Zen doesn't use their 3D model 100% of the time.

>>21274672
You are probably right, I got a little lazy there to be honest.
>>21274678
o:

who is watching my vods!? there are bots there too?

>>21273296
I have seen little evidence to this idea, it seems like 2d models tend to do better in views. Though by this metric vroid master race is the final frontier of vtubing.

How easy is it to do bespoke outfit designs with Vroid?

>>21275634
All o want to do is to eventually strangle my eventual chat. I can only do that with 3D.

>>21277430
not with that attitude

>>21275634
It's not really skewed one way or the other, you have to remember almost all the top chuubas (Zen, Silver, Melody, etc) early on started with 3D and are popular partially due to that, 2D is just a lot more accessible and less of a hassle on the streamer and a hell of a lot easier to make look good.

I'll have my modeling done by tomorrow if I don't slack off. Still need to texture it after though, I dread this part.

>>21249826

I plan to start a schedule and start streaming and stick to it no matter how retarded it is. Last thing I want is to be on my death bed thinking to myself how I didn't pursue hobbies like this that I enjoy.
Wish me luck /asp/ies.

Do (you) have a hidden power?
Is there something you feel you can do particularly good or might serve as an upper hand in this field.
It could be special confidence or a craft or a passion that you can use to your advantage.

I need to buy a new USB cable off of Amazon for my HD60 S.
I might as well pick up a couple other things as well… What should it be? Streaming related of course.

>>21280622
Tell me if it's possible to buy personality

>>21275485

i am a decent gunpla builder, i can learn any meme dance in 5 minutes, i can draw relatively professionally and has good understanding of most industry standard programs, i casually hit plat rank in most games i play and peaked above diamond in a few in the past, i speak 2 languages, i can rig my own vtuber avatar(sloppily), and my weeb knowledge is relatively deep due to lurking /a/ years back

extremely handicap is that i have an irrational hatred for people

>>21282826
You are whispering an inch from the mic.
>Back off from the mic a foot or more
>speak clearly, as if someone a few meters away has to hear you loud and clear
>Tune your gain until the point where those sound conditions don't peak the audio
condolences if you live with people constantly and this is not an option, you have a nice voice, but right now you are just capturing only muffled bass

>>21284153
huh pic didnt attach

>>21282826
You still sound like you're trying to sing quietly so your roommate won't hear you. Look up some exercises for projecting your voice!

>>21284153
>Gunpla streams
Toss your channel. I enjoy those kinds of things a lot
You seem like an interesting dude.
>irrational hatred for people
In some ways, I can relate. The people who are special to me are few and far between. I had a long time where I thought no one will ever understand me and could only see loneliness and bitterness going forward.

>>21282699
Still sounds extremely obvious that it's a voice changer. Not worth the effort...

>>21284252
Very clean nice work.

Is it bad to list yourself as your favorite streamer on the Holo app? I just really love myself.

>>21285307
Depends.
If you are just being immodest or brash it's not very interesting. If this may be an eccentric characteristic, a personal code, or something along those lines that plays an integral part of your character, than that's fine.

>>21284252
What's the backpack?

>>21284548
>I had a long time where I thought no one will ever understand me and could only see loneliness and bitterness going forward
im currently recovering from that, im just going to put my energy in doing reps and bettering myself so that maybe i just naturally grow into a more likeable person

unfortunately my content is kinda sparse right now, im going to experiment with a variety of formats and see which one catches on the best. gunpla stream is definitely something i considered but its a lot of energy and set up for 2 views, i might try a top 5 kit recc or gunpla design tier list to test the waters to see how the algorithm picks up on that type of content

I got multiple views on my audition.

>>21286436
congrats anon. good luck on the video interview portion.

pull a nyanners and come out publicly saying you hate cunny and watch as all your viewers turn on you.

>>21288565
works wonders imo, back when i watched super best friends its always cool when they do friday night fistacuffs and just get together and play fighting games, and i like the holloween shit where they play a new horror game everyday. of course thats lets plays so its a bit of a different format, but i think reoccurring themes that work well should be consistently revisited but not milked to death

>>21289651
report them secretly

Have you ever thought about or done a themed joke model or PNG?
Like precure, magical girls in general, specific anime uniforms/outfit/concept parodies (i.e. haibane), or even just general concepts, like casual camping

>>21247531
Thanks homie

Hey, got a view on a hololive app submitted like 3 days ago, so not bad turnaround. Shame they only watched the 5s though.

>>21296993
shit, man, i at least got 20-something seconds.
you musta really tanked it right out of the gate

I'm a guy who's planning to make and use a male model, but so far it looks kinda like a trap, should I continue with this angle or should I make it more masculine? I don't think my voice would really fit a trap/femboy character.

>>21266420
Scanned booth until I found someone selling a vroid outfit that I thought looked nice since I have 0 artistic bones in my body for making my own shit.

>>21297162
It doesn't look *THAT* fem, I think you're fine! You could try making the shoulders less soft and more angular.

>>21297086
Are you male or female? I wonder if they're specifically looking for males now

>>21277430
I already have the ability to headpat my chat with 3d.

>>21297610
I'm male. Guessing from the context of your post you're a grill?
I doubt it's going anywhere, I don't have numbers for shit and like I said, only 20-something seconds. Enough to listen to me speak for a bit and go 'nah this dude sounds like shit'

>>21297746
Yeah, I mean given the timing of the males-being-allowed announcement, it would be pretty funny if Cover were specifically filtering for guys now.

>>21297854

Fuck there's so many things I'd want to do, trying to keep it to a paragraph so I don't ramble too long and bore the intern reading it

I see twitch streamers using popular sound effects from anime and music from video game OSTs. Can I just use anime OSTs as my BGM or classical music?

made a little loading screen loop thing, my humor is stupid as hell i kept cracking up while making this

That's rad my dude.

Gun anon is that you

Weekly drunk corpo insider here from >>20261442. Less drunk than normal, responses will be even more coherent than normal. Probably

>>21301757
I dont know what to ask but your answers have always been useful. Are there more people like you or are most management in most corpos just useless.

>>21301757
What does "falling behind" in regards to number look like?

I'm trying to gauge if I should be gathering followers faster than I currently am. It's a consistent drip feed at this point.

>>21301757
How does the audition process work for corpos? I see some people getting 30 seconds of their audition video watched and others getting just 5. Does anyone actually watch all of your video when you audition for one of the big two?

>>21301757
can you give us an insight into what these chuubas are actually doing on a normal day? not looking for industry secrets, just looking for the average workload and what each chuuba is expected to do in a day. if i can replicate what a corpo chuuba does in a day it'll put me at an advantage for future auditions.

It was retarded then and it's retarded now

>>21303777
well im not doing it anymore now am i?

>>21303899
Don't respond to the bait. All the best

>>21266420
i just went with something generic so it's easy to draw, most of the time you aren't going to see the model under the shoulders so it doesn't matter that much

>>21301757
are corpos going purely for fujobait right now as far as males go, or are there some wiggle room? nijien's designs and voice preferences makes me think unless you got a sex voice you have no shot

>>21303776
nta but i'm assuming it's an old GPU

>>21301757
How big of a difference does a good and unique voice make during the screening and hiring process?
Since most of the guys have the typical ikemen voice like Kanae, Ike, Alban.
Or guys who went on the deep end like Belmond, Oga, Vox.

>>21304485
nta but it's what viewers want.

>>21301757
How reserved should i be with my game variety when just starting out? My best stuff i can commentate on and play is card games, but i also really enjoy playing a wide range of strategy like 4x, rts, management stuff, and so on. And then I also really enjoy some kind of strategy-adjacent stuff like fighting games, but i can see that being too fast paced for my overall niche i want to fill and probably isn't recommended for my general vibe.

>>21303508
My design actually looks like a dead ringer for that other vtuber. I was even considering adding hair pins too. Looks like i'm back to the drawing board.

>>21301757
Sorry not corpo related but just wanted your opinion for an indie that may want to corpo a year or so down the road if vtubing is still alive. How reserved should i be with my game variety when just starting out? My best stuff i can commentate on and play is card games, but i also really enjoy playing a wide range of strategy like 4x, rts, management stuff, and so on. And then I also really enjoy some kind of strategy-adjacent stuff like fighting games, but i can see that being too fast paced for my overall niche i want to fill and probably isn't recommended for my general vibe.

>>21303508
is this a babi?

>>21302092
I hope I've been helpful. Sometimes it seems like this industry is just full of numberfags and backstabbing cunts, so I'm trying to be the change I want to see.
From what I've seen, most managers don't deserve what they make, but I don't think I've ever seen one that I would call completely useless.
>>21302213
This is just my opinion, but I would define "falling behind" for an indie as total stagnation. Meaning if you're still gaining follows/subs on a weekly basis, you're doing better than most. I'd start worrying when that number completely levels off or goes down. That's when you'll want to start thinking about ways to branch out and mix things up, start appealing to a different audience.
>>21302548
Without giving too much away, the big 2 are a complete gamble. In every instance I'm aware of, they are looking for a specific kind of content creator with a specific character and lore in mind. You're auditioning for a role without knowing what it is, which is fucked and I personally hate it, but that's just how it goes. Best you can do is show off your range early in the video and hope that somewhere in there is the character they're looking for.
The smaller corpos are much more likely to watch a full audition video. Most of them also don't have specific characters in mind beforehand. At most they'll have a full generation theme.
>>21302596
Highly variable. Most chuubas either have day jobs or college classes (or both), so they spend 20-40 hours a week on that. The few that stream full-time tend to enjoy brainstorming new content ideas and experimenting in Premiere, Photoshop, VTube Studio, Audition, etc. If you're full-time, you probably enjoy working on projects like that and making new kind of content anyway so it's less of a grind.
For corpo chuubas, it's mostly the same. The only difference is some have projects with deadlines that they absolutely need to hit, but otherwise it's the same grind as anyone else, just with bigger numbers involved. I would say that the larger, innovative indies like Leaflit and Snuffy are just as busy as the bigger corpos on a daily basis. It's just self-imposed instead of corpo mandated.
>>21304485
>>21304779
Here's the thing about corpos, especially the big two: they are fucking pussies when it comes to doing something new. Everyone saw how big Luxiem got from fujobaiting, so of course that's all the male EN chuuba market is going to be looking for. They're so big that they have nothing to gain from trying to be innovative or forge a new path. They see easy money, they take easy money. Simple as. Until a new meta comes out of the EN sphere, or until a fujobait chuuba decides to break character with some success, I don't expect things to change.
>>21305109
VTubing will definitely still be alive. It is already entering general public consciousness, and it will only spread more as time goes on.
The first thing you want to do as an indie is build a core audience. Stream your best genre and win over the people that come with your personality. Most indie viewers check out a stream based on game choice, so if you try to go too wide with that, viewers will leave before they have a chance to fall in love with you. Better to have 50 dedicated followers than 100 that watch one stream and never come back

>>21305872
>Without giving too much away, the big 2 are a complete gamble.
Thanks for the answer, anon! I appreciate all of the wisdom and insight you offer!

>>21304985
you've got a cute idea for sure though, keep toughing out the details for sure anon you got it

>>21305582
this is a tranny

What do I have to do to get a small audience as a pngtuber? The plan would be to get a quality model eventually

>>21305872
>The first thing you want to do as an indie is build a core audience. Stream your best genre and win over the people that come with your personality.
I imagine this also makes it easier to prepare for streams and such to where it becomes routine and can be refined. Thank you for the advice :) bless your soul

>>21306420
>this is a tranny

Wrong! This vtuber is deceased!

>>21305872
what do you think about indies starting off with prerecorded content to overcome the number filter for corpo apps? it seems some talents are better for videos than streams like all the singers that did covers to great sub counts or the vox/kronii/gura VO stuff

>>21303899
ngmis will always try to bring others down with them. just do your own thing.

>>21307004
Pre-recorded content is great, especially if you're looking to build an actual community. The hard part is if you're streaming on Twitch but also posting VODs and other content on Youtube. I don't understand the tribalfagging when it comes to streaming platform, but it's real. Getting Twitch viewers to watch YouTube content, or YouTube viewers to watch Twitch streams, is irrationally difficult. But if you build a community on Twitter or Discord, it's a lot easier to bridge that gap.

>>21307004
NTA but it seems feasible, I thought I'd throw in my two cents since I've been following an indie in the FFXIV community who goes by Lucy Pyre, she used to lurk around in the shitpostXIV subreddit, blew up in the community with one of her videos, and streams decently often on Twitch and garners good CCV for an indie. I think that sort of thing especially helps a lot if you have an amazing voice for it.

Say /asp/, I've been trying to make my voice sound better, but don't know how to practice/any resources. Having issues with my voice being too quiet/monotone, and not very expressive. Any help? Can post vocaroo if needed.

>>21308917
Post the vocaroo, sonny.

>>21307004
>>21307942
It's one of the very important things you need as a content creator a community or something you're a part of to support you and to aim your initial content at.

>>21310334
https://voca.ro/14s5HYHiDQc5

Here ya go, no script, so I just repeated my post and rambled for a bit.

>>21310631
you don't sound quite as monotone as I would've thought. I'd say support your voice more and you'd be pretty good.

>>21311014
So I should breathe in more and stop talking when I'm out of breath? (If I'm getting this right) I've noticed I tend to not breathe in as much as I should. Either that, or I don't really get what you mean by "support your voice", sorry anon.

>>21310631
You pretty much answered your own question. Learn to project your voice better (lotsa youtube tutorials for this), and remove the mental block that's unconsciously making you lower your speaking volume

>>21311264
Will do anon, thx for putting it into words for me.

>>21284188
>a foot or more
My mic is my headset mic lol, so it's more like 2-3 inches at most, not 12. Sorry.
>>21284352
Desu. I will. I'm not really worried about anyone nearby hearing me. I'm just scared of my own voice.

Anyways, I can try projecting more (I'm a mumbler) and using a proper cardioid, but I can't set it up right now unfortunately, so I'm interested in seeing if I can improve what I have now.
https://voca.ro/186RbGFgS5oM Tried to reduce boominess this take but I don't think it did anything? Waiting an hour or two then listening to it I can definitely hear it's a little muffled. Wondering if it sounds different from the others now and how bad it for other people?
>>21305872
Damn, opinion on my vocaroo recordings? I've been crying and seething into a logitech headset all day.

>>21311226
I just recorded what I meant since it's easier to just hear it.

https://voca.ro/15eIiCQyXi5V

>>21311609
Honestly, I dig the timbre. With the right model, I could see your voice carrying you pretty far. The one piece of advice I would give is to enunciate a bit more. Practice speaking like a newscaster and make sure there are clear breaks between words. Sometimes you have a tendency to run two words into each other, like when you say "I don't really have a script for this one", for and this sounds like "fordis". I've noticed it's something a lot of ESL Asian speakers struggle with, especially with "th" sounds. Practicing elocution can help a lot with that.

>>21268152
Yes, bot raids are a thing. Usually a viewbot service will test their product out by targeting random streamers

Any advice on shorts one could create as a pngtuber? Most yt shorts for vtubers I see just show off the model while they say something cute...

>>21311976
Somewhat made sense, though I'm not sure exactly how to do that. Might just take practice though. I gave it a try and tried to make my stomach rise as I breathed in, compared to just breathing into my upper body? If that makes sense. Vocaroo below comparing both.

https://voca.ro/17lW9bCNuAjt

Personally I can't tell the difference, but that's probably because of me unconsciously lowering my voice. I'll see about practicing this though.

>>21286391
Have you ever watched eva? One of its main themes are about how we must get closer to one another and allow ourselves to be in a vulnerable position where we might get hurt to start connecting with others. I have not fully recovered from those thoughts that maybe it's all wrong, and maybe I'm just crazy or bound to be lonely, until I realized I was a year into having a best friend that I cherished and would speak to every day for hours.

The good thing about creation streams is that not only are they a niche and can be divided into careful, interesting parts, they can be later made into satisfying timelapses and shorts that have the potential of gaining lots of views.

Have you yet uncovered the secret to reaching a loving audience over one that may be great in number but poor in quality?
How may one reach the right people and not the most people?

>>21311609
>I'm just scared of my own voice.
Don't be afraid anon I'm right here by your side.
Speak and be proud of your voice, its a fine one.

>>21314646
You're overthinking it. If you play the games you want to play, and make the content you want to make, then the right audience will find you. If there are people in your audience don't get it, kick them the fuck out. It's your channel and your community. Don't give that power up to anyone, not even your moderators. Listen to what they have to say, but ultimately you're the one that knows what you want out of your community

>>21315795
You know, now that I think about it...
I have always said that if you do what you love fearlessly you draw in the right people.
There are few things as comforting as hearing your conclusion come out of another's mouth as if it is obvious.
Thank you, wise one, have a lovely day.

got my rig in and I hope to start streaming after some family stuff is done with. Would be thrilled if it went for the family stuff, its kinda taken the wind from my sails

The ones in these (are me) I meant. You can see what people thought of the first two...
Wondering if they sound bad in general?
The third one is pretty similar to the second except it's cleaner than the second, and I wonder if that unfucked it and how bad it is, or if either have any clarity at all.
I'm gonna American Psycho my 20$ logitech headset in a moment.

A friend of mine sent their audition in, I hope they make it in. I still want to stream for a few more months before I decide I want to as well.

So picrel is more or less my irl personality hammed up. Girls like to tease me because of this, but how well could this translate to vtubing kayfabe and fujobaiting?
I guess face wise would be okay since I can get an ikemen model anyway. But this is quite a slippery kayfabe that might get me branded as a narcissistic pervert since people can't see your body language and facial expression

Do the viewer analytics count yourself? I'm trying to figure this out between a friend's application and my own.
I definitely watched mine once all the way throughout before submitting to make sure nothing went wrong, and I'm sitting at 0 views/0 runtime.
My friend is approaching this much more casually isn't even sure if he watched it, but has one view sitting at 3 minutes watched. I'm not sure if he made it past the dreaded Nijisanji filter or not.

>>21319072
so you say dumb shit to women and regret it instantly and cant draw for shit?

>>21301757
For the two big ones, if they've watched my video multiple times (never longer than halfway through) is that a good sign? How long after the video has been watched should one expect an email, how long until I should lose hope?

>>21319072
>>21319381
At least a man can admit his faults
The thing you present the most here is your voice, the whole point of a ridiculously self centered and mean character being taken as hot is that they sound hot enough to say crazy shit.
Don't go full fujo pander. Doing asmr for girls seems lucrative but you'll be alienating male and female audiences who just want to hang out and not have their ears licked.

>>21319381
Kind of? I often say the cheesiest crap to girls during conversation whenever there's a chance, but never followed up with real action. Rinse and repeat and they eventually flirt back and found out that I'm all talk no defense, the rest is history. To quote one of them, they don't look at me as a man but find me cute and harmless.
I'm thinking that since girls find it to be entertaining at the expense of my pride as a man, it might be applicable to vtubing too.

>>21317931
>>21312094

Oh that one was for me? I'll keep that in mind then anon. I'm not actually ESL, but a native speaker, but yeah I tend to speak really fast and mush my words up. Will try to practice my elocution.

>>21320497
Well noted anon. But what I'm thinking of is not portraying a hot mean character, more like a self aware narcissist who spout cheesy crap and being laughed at in a sense.
Not sure how guys would react to it, but perhaps seeing that there's a more pathetic and bullyable man would be relatable?

>>21321204
The key to playing a heel character is to let the audience see them fall later. It's always cathartic to see a jerk get their comeuppance.

Oayo~Oh

>>21299803
You can do anything as long as you don't get caught. Some things are just more looked after than others.

>>21324576
do some research on what crowd you are trying to appeal to. i can't just give you answers directly but i'm not going to leave you with the classic "it depends"

what are content that popular vtubers are doing? what non-vtuber content do you watch that you like and can try to adapt for yourself? are you able to combine those two types of contents together?

you can't just say "this content creator i like plays games" and leave it at that. dig deeper as to why people would watch that person out of everyone else who is playing that same game. personality? they won the genetic lottery? they got a bunch of shitty gimmicks on their stream? tts giving validation when viewers throw money? maybe join that person's discord and ask the viewers why they watch that faggot play naruto ninja storm

think about who you want to become and ask yourself questions that will get you there instead. if the only answers you have are "i don't know" then you might want to reconsider becoming a streamer.

>>21297162

You need an account to interact and people are tired to have create new accounts everywhere. Wouldn't be a problem if these platforms allowed anonymous posting, so blame them(the globohomo).

Hey /asp/ is classical music like this royalty free?

i have been thinking about doing art learning streams. I would like to find like-minded people interested in getting gud. But I don't know how to make a stream focused on learning engaging...
pic rel is my current level

>>21326182
Most classical music is in the public domain, but that doesn't mean the performances themselves are, so you'll have to find a royalty-free performance of the song you want, or somehow perform it yourself.

what minimum upload speed do you need to stream comfortably?

I hate it here. Every time it feels like I'm making some headway in anything, something happens outside of my control that makes things harder or annoying. I don't want morons screaming in the hall when I'm trying to do shit.

This is the legal answer. Real answer though is that most performances are indistinguishable from each other, so the chances of getting caught are near zero therefore making searching for a royalty free rendition not worth the effort.

I have the exact same predicament. Solution is moving away, problem is not making enough money.
There has to be moments when your roommate isn't there, like out with friends or something, this is when you stream, even if it doesn't follow a schedule, better do guerilla than nothing.

The event that's keeping them stuck here is also what's keeping me stuck here, logic goes that they're not going out either until this stops. I was really enjoying the last couple weeks too and looking forward to getting stuff out this week but while there's still stuff I can complete regardless, it makes it difficult to stream.
Moving out is definitely the play but at this point I would have to start grinding out commissions super hard or doing remote work. Doing commissions has always been on the list but I'm putting all my focus on my model rigging at the moment and don't want to spend a lot of time drawing up something fancy to advertise with until it's done.

I don't even want to MI, I just want to be able to dish out something at a consistent rate and not having to for """motivation"""

Is OBS limiter somehow will make the audio sound worse? should I keep the limiter or just use Slider?

Okay, I finished the animation. Now to boot up Swivel, add subtitles and start praying.

AAAAAAAAAA
I "finished" my model on blender and started TRYING to texture it. Why is it so complicated? The UV unwrapper shat itself, I have shit overlapping all over the place.
How do I fix this? do I have to start over? it's an absolute mess, I don't understand what I'm seeing on the UV map.

I'll be honest with you asp, seeing the autism, schizophrenia and downright mental illness on this board is making me seriously question whether it's worth it lol

>>21333000
If it helps, most of these weirdos don't even watch streams

>Get a non-trash mic
>Have to keep it like 2 inches from my face to get good quality
This will take some getting used to

What happened to yellow cat? Haven't been on /asp/ in a while

>>21333632
SHUT UP PLEASE

>>21332834
using smart UV made it much better, but there is still overlapping, I'll just manually fix it. Thank god my model has very simple shapes.

could just be some frontline staff checking if the video link is valid before passing it on to the actual hiring managers

Will we get Sea Biscuit in global version.

my hidden super power is being very flexible I can bend in ways you would not believe. I'm not sure how it will help me but one day I will capitalize on it. maybe I should invest in 3D eventually.
other than that I also am fluent in multiple languages, have a wide voice range, have a creepy childlike voice (not loli just straight up a toddler). I'm not sure if this translates to streams but I've been told I'm very charming/charismatic and a natural story teller.

>>21336252
Link please

>>21279932
I’m an empathetic and charismatic guy with a pleasant-sounding voice.

>>21336252
All of these are only worth it for women tho. Are you women?

>>21279932
I can actually clap with one hand. Not able to show that outside of handcam streams, though.

Something that could actually serve as an upper hand would be my experience as an online English teacher for Zhangs children who were either shy or didn't have enough vocabulary to keep a conversation going, so I've essentially been doing speaking reps for a few years.

>>21333668
I'm not him, just genuinely curious of his whereabouts

>>21279932
I'm good at telling stories about weird and wacky experiences. Sometimes the situation will devolve so hard when I'm talking about something and playing off chat's reaction that people will remember it for weeks or months later and still reference it.

>>21339652
I know that, I just meant to imply that he'd be less likely to show back up if we didn't mention him.
Anyways if you want my theories, he probably spent the last few days on a bender or something. His last update in this thread was being le quirky drug addict out to score some drugs, probably weed.
