/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

>>21305872
Damn anon, thanks for the insight, it does kinda suck that as you say, corpos are so fixated on specific methods instead of wanting to try out new things (already having characters planned etc). Because my entire audition video was based around "forget about traditional Vtubing, I'm going to change it up by doing x and y"... Then again I did get 40s of my holo application viewed so maybe it piqued someone's interest...

In OBS studio, is adding audio source from the game you playing means the "desktop" source can be muted?

Hi /asp/ies! Hows your day going?

>>21342032
awful headache
tired for no reason
i hope it gets better

>>21342032
Tired missing out on sleep but my scheduled stream is tomorrow so there's that to look forward too

>>21342032
Pretty good! It's getting easier and easier to stream consistently every week.

>>21341433
Do that for your channel trailer instead. We're auditioning for a character we don't know about yet, apparently.

>>21342123
Good luck anon I hope it does.

>>21342624
What will you be streaming anon?

>>21342698
Keep it up! Once you get into that flow it's so easy.

>>21342032
Doing good chief, trying to get back into streaming after a break, I feel like I've gotten a second wind

>>21343023
>Keep it up! Once you get into that flow it's so easy.
I already want to bully streamers that act like streaming is hard, but I'm sure I'll find myself at a point where I'll have to eat these words.
For now though, I want to bully them.

>>21342032
At work, doing salary reps, simply alright. Still on waitlist for model til May, so i have plenty of time to do voice/singing reps. I hope your day is going well :)

>>21342123
Drink water

>>21342032
I have minimal work remaining for my day job so I'm using the time to practice songwriting

>>21317931
Oh shit, my mistake. Were you the one that I told to practice Steve Blum monologues in a previous thread? Because I still think that's good advice
>>21319851
It's possibly a good thing, but there are a few reasons that could happen. Plus, YouTube is kinda fucky when it comes to number tracking
>>21341433
Bold choice, telling the pillars of traditional VTubing to forget about traditional VTubing. That strategy would work better for the smaller startups. They have much more to gain by breaking the mold.

>>21343023
>What will you be streaming?
Probably smt nocturne. I started it blind and figured why not stream it too.

I need moar art assets other than my current PNG what whatever else I chicken scratched out

>>21342032
I'm gonna stream more Legend of Dragoon in an hour, i finished all the Digimon games i wanted to play and i planned a review stream on Thursday where i'll talk about video game design as a whole and shtuff, because that's what i really enjoy and do a little bit of an game design exhibition where i show off how "i would do it better".

Overall, nothing too interesting, being a 2view and all but i think after watching a certain youtube video explaining the whole rabbithole of content creation i won't really get too much into social media and expanding my reach and i'll just stick to streaming for noone. If people can put up let's plays of video games every day for 10+ years with each video getting like 100 views at most then i can 2view for the same amount of time.

i want to stream strategy games, which ones are fun to stream? i only play AoEII. Also, I am looking for more fun games like Worms, Lemmings and Baldies.

>>21345064
You can try frostpunk. Very good game.

I finally finished my audition and sent it in last night, how long does it usually take for an intern to eventually view it? I know it’s pointless to obsess and I should just leave it in god’s hands, but I can’t stop autistically refreshing the analytics page

>>21345260
Leave it in god’s hands. You just answered your own question

>Missed the insider dude
Damn it...

>>21344212
I will be looking patiently for a Legends of Dragoon vtuber in 26 minutes.

>>21342032
I was kinda sulking over how I'm probably not special enough to ever get even to 1k, but then I watched My Dress-up Darling and that reminded me that as long as at least one person enjoys my streams, it's not a waste.

>almost done with my finals
>gonna get a new PC setup too
I'm gonna stream soon I swear!!!!!!!

>>21344115
Also maybe before or after stream tonight I’ll draw myself in a pose or outfit for fun. Why not I guess?

>>21345761
Don't expect too much, but I'm thankful for the love anon. <3

>>21342032
Pretty good, came home early and i'm about to stream some scriptwriting for a video i have planned

>>21346726
I'll tab in after my drive home.

>>21343164
femanon?

>>21341433
It's honestly a case of "if it isn't broken, don't fix it." a majority of the people who tried to "change it up"
have little to no viewership. People rarely if ever look to streaming for something unique or different, they want an entertainer with an entertaining personality with some fun or neat event sprinkled in every once in a while. Why do you think people like Sushidragon peak at about 500 viewers despite all their exposure, great connections and years upon years of experience and advertising and meanwhile you've got dudes that are just "haha im kinda funny and i play videogames" getting tens of thousands?

>>21347224
heh, now I feel like a fool because that's exactly what I was aiming for. "instead of just being another x person playing y games" I wanted to be the person who hosts their own type of mini event streams, like the guys who do "chat controls the game" type stuff, or a type of "family fued with viewers as the respondents". Well I guess I'll keep this noted for next time and learn how to become a boring panderer

>>21347651
it's a numbers game. You need to pander to get an initial audience and then do whatever unique things you want to do.

Case in point people endlessly circlejerked how 'creative' Ame was when she did her chat reveals her 2nd outfit, but you do that same sort of thing as a 2view no one will care.

>>21347651
>>21347868
pretty much this. I honestly respect generic chuubas the most, being able to stand out among an oversaturated market with incredibly talented people is quite the accomplishment

>>21347651
>like the guys who do "chat controls the game" type stuff
> "family fued with viewers as the respondents"
All the people doing these things had an audience prior to doing them

>>21347224
>>21347651
>>21347967
La creatividad only works when you're already popular and doing things like that turn you into a trendsetter instead of someone willing to do the most retarded things out of desperation for views.

>>21348198
Ame is amazing, literally has 0 skills yet manages to be one of the most beloved Holos

>>21347065
Not femanon

>>21347224
The funny thing is that even the fans have the "don't change what works" mindset, especially for Hololive.

>>21342032
Jwu

Earlier at midnight i submitted my animated audition (it's not that good)

I'll pray everyday

oh okay

>>21351765
I think that they're scraping everyone's audition videos so they don't have to fuck around with a bunch of links anon, fret not

This dude is giving info on the hololive audition process, up to the first interview(which is where he failed)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MePOKGdJXyw

Anons I have a question. I want to make song tracks for my vtuber persona but I know fuck all about music theory or making music. Do you think I should just commission someone for the music, or is stream BGM simple enough that it won’t matter if I’m new to music making?

>>21354212
Try playing around with it, it could be fun. Have some japanese royalty free bgm until then.

>>21352715
Don't give me false hope.

would you guys watch morning workout streams? an idea i have is like morning radio stretches

>>21354732
If anything, it should give you less hope. For all you know, there's no guarantee anyone will ever look at your vid and you have no chances of knowing whether that'll happen

>>21354973
Won't that alienate anyone who isn't in your timezone?
You would 100% find some audience if you play your cards right tho, RFA is pretty popular after all

>>21345475
What were you gonna ask?

>>21355148
good point
idk what to do about that lol

>the realization that i'm not cut out for corpo life
i'm okay with giving up the dream because i don't have the passion for it like the many early 20 something that are applying. hurts a little that i didn't even get a single view though.

>>21355025
I prefer thinking they watched at least 30 seconds before passing rather than hearing my voice for 4 seconds and immediately hitting next.

What are some easy ways to market yourself? I usually get a couple of friends watching, but not too much growth beyond randos every once in a while. It seems like the standard way is to try and insert yourself into popular communities, but it seems like a lot of effort to be active in a bunch of discords for the sole purpose of shilling yourself.

>>21356484
Find a niche and stick to it
Jerma started out mostly doing TF2 videos, Dunkey started out doing League of Legends content, etc., and when they were big enough they branched out into other content and retained their fanbase

What's the market like for horror-focused vtubers? I want to branch out into other things but I think I'd like to cultivate a good base horror audience first.

My main niche is boomer shooters. Please pray for me /asp/!

>>21342032
jwu, poorly but saying why would be tmi

>>21353686
I found this pretty encouraging. We have a chance. The biggest question is whether it requires already having an audience.

Finally, a second stream. Starting meow
https://twitch.tv/azu2yn

>>21360193
i am very proud of you :) keep going!

>>21356785
jerma and dunkey both became variety comedy montage channels fairly quickly though even though their niche was their main game for a while. someone like star and a lot of the COD people are examples of people that just stuck to their one game and struggled to branch out unless there was a direct replacement like overwatch

>>21358740
pretty much yes, none of the current holoEN girls were no names. some were arguably close to no name but they all have had extensive content making experience one way or another. there was a previous archived thread about niji auditions where people heavily discussed PL numbers and pretty much no one was a literal no name. entirety of nijiEN were either utaite or triple digit CCV, the closest to a 0 experience no name was maybe finana who had high amount of twitter followers as a vtweeter

>>21362074
>have experience as a content creator
>but in a more literal sense, as in I’ve made content for myself
>gonna get passed up just because I’m a literalwho that doesn’t post their stuff
feelsbadman

>>21362074
>the closest to a 0 experience no name was maybe finana who had high amount of twitter followers as a vtweeter
>this lie again

>>21353686
Man, seems like the going all out aspect is not for me.
I already climbed quite high on the corporate ladder and planning to start a family. Abandoning all that to pursue idol dreams is reckless

This is my 2nd time auditioning for NIJI and my first time auditioning for HOLO.

I need a 2nd opinion on the aud. video I've made, if you guys don't mind.

(Also it's watermarked, sorry guys, I'm paranoid)

https://youtu.be/ggaGb_WiZP4

I wanted to go for a "Young adventurer" who was hyper and really passionate about his craft and did some irl fitness stuff with a gopro cam.

Though, the go pro part was a off because I couldn't film it in the gym since I had no more time, and had to do it around the neighborhood instead.

My main niches were really the voice acting, arnimation and various arts.

Hope you guys enjoy, and I do appreciate the feedback

>>21363341
>Reddit

>Spacing

go back

>>21363774
Make me.

>>21363341
they have so many auditions to go through, they aren't going to make it through the first 10 seconds to see the rest of it. you need to start off strong

Well, I've done it. I've submitted my application to Nijisanji.

Can anyone help me and list the reasons why I would HATE working there? I need some copium in case I don't make it, which is the most likely outcome... right?

I've been overdosing on hopium.

>>21364054
you're a frogposter

>>21346726
>>21347025
I forgot to say I tuned in for a bit, sorry I wasn't a huge chatter though but hope you're gonna make it anon

>>21363885
Not him but what I feel like would be a decent power move hook (also kinda going off of what >>21353686 this dude's instincts said) would be to say "fuck my neighbors" and just open up with a full-force belt of... fucking SOMETHING.
I can sing, or at least so I've been led to believe (or I've been lied to this whole time), was a soloist in one of my university's acapella groups. I just don't really do it now because I live in an apartment complex with boomer neighbors.
But yeah, I dunno, maybe if I just said "fuck it" let loose just the one time for the sake of auditions... Once I've got my foot in the door (or if*), or if god help me I somehow wormed into being selected, I'd care a lot less because I'd definitely start looking seriously at moving to a home.

>>21363774
It looks cleaner spaced.

Also never posted on reddit lmao.

>>21364054
Pretty much the reasons anyone would hate working for a corpo: having to worry about game perms, having to watch what you say, having to get clearance from managers to do stuff etc. These cons would all outweighed by the fact that you'd have numbers though so there's that

>>21363885
Yeah this is true. It's definitely something that came to mind only hours after submitting.

>>21364187
>not putting your best effort into your audition in the first place
unironically, do you even WANT to do this? I mean, the same way you'd wear your nicest suit (or at least business casual) to a wagie job interview, even if you never actually dress like that on a regular basis or even to the job itself, it's the same thing. If you can't provide your full abilities and passion in the fucking auditions because you're too self-conscious, what makes you think you'd beat out people who do?

>>21364187
it's probably best to avoid negativity but yeah that doesn't sound bad. start off with a passionate rant that shows off your personality/voice/audio quality etc and get into the boring finer details later after you've proven you meet the bare minimum

>>21364201
How does the appeal go right past the salary and go straight to "you'd have numbers"

>>21364187
lmgtfy how to soundproof a closet

>>21364758
if all you want is a salary you can go work at walmart

so are you guys girls or ...

>>21364665
This is good. I'll take this into account for the next aud.

My biggest mistakes in my aud vid are not immediately putting my character in the beginning, and putting my song in the end only.

Fahck. It's such an amateur mistake, I can't believe I didn't even think of it. I've got the passion and talent for this. I know it. I just really need to make the next one with a lot more thought in mind.

>>21362206
yeah they are big number fags unless you got some crazy untapped market potential like calli's jpop rap fusion

>>21362212
man idk i said "maybe" since there were so much conflicting information, isn't she arguably the most unknown out of everyone they hired?

>>21364054
Think of shit you would hate from any corpo job and that's what you should expect from there. The only upside is you get to play games for hours.

>>21365035
I mean you answered it in your own post. Think of the numberfagging less of being mean to 2views, and more of a "does this person demonstrate the ability to captivate a sizable audience in a vacuum"? It's like the IRL shit where so many "entry-level" wagie jobs all but require a degree, it's not so much that the degree itself is what they want, but proof you spent 2-4 years following a schedule, balancing work and personal life, and still achieving success of some sort in the end. It proves to some extent you can be depended on for an extended period of time.
With how prevalent e-singers and artists are nowadays, and how much amateur talent there is, it then becomes a filter of "why would we hire this person who we're unsure can keep an active streaming audience over this other person with similar skills but managed to build a following by personality alone?"

>>21364758
The money would come from the numbers

>>21363341
i feel like this was more of a pitch of your story to an animation company than an audition tape. i know its vague what they are looking for, but im sure they want you to display all your talents and how it might pertain to entertaining a stream. you showcased your art and voice acting which is good but a lot of time was spent on building up a story that i dont think they really want to listen to.

>>21364758
anon, vtubers are contract workers, not full time salaried workers like their management

>have a general 3 and a half audition video ready
>think I have til tomorrow night to submit it
>check time conversions
>I need to finish tonight
Shit, I miscalculated how much time I have left...

>>21365693
Yup. That just came to mind awhile ago.

I've got a last minute fix in mind, but I'll learn from this and make a much better one for the next aud!

Thanks m8

>Meant to stream today
>Anxiety kicked in, watched a stream
>Finally decided to act on it.
>Room cleaned, desk dusted and smoothed out

Holy shit this feels good.
I'm deffo going live tomorrow.

>>21366000
make sure you follow through on it, i believe in you anon

>>21365863
you have till 11:00pm, if you're in EST, on March 31st

>>21364054
you have to act like a homo and talk like one for hours, atleast 4 days a week. /vt/ schizos will shit talk you all day for being gay and for you to kill yourself

>>21366233
Wait a minute, I'm a retard. The deadline is 23:59 JST on March 31st and I was looking at 24:00/00:00 the 31st. Thank god. There was some things I wanted to add to the video and I need to edit the audio.

>>21354732
this is peak ngmi mindset

>>21364054
if you want some copium, Nijisanji is just Vshojo but with an established company backing it that also knows how to run an idol group
the only difference between Niji and Holo is exactly what the other anons said, you're gonna start speaking modern cringe lingo and lose any respect you could have gotten here (like that matters lol)
Holo gives you instant clout but way more strict when it comes to what you say, and POSSIBLY how you talk

>>21366425
i just you [everytimezone] for time references, pretty quick to find on google. it's so helpful and even has a slider

Could you imagine being the guy that has to vet all the auditions for hours a day? Seeing some of the shit that popped up around the first HoloEN auditions makes me wonder how much worse it could be now for both Niji and Cover now that they both have popular english branches.

>>21366710
>vet all the auditions for hours a day?
they don't. they just number filter first.

>>21366740
I'll prove this rrat wrong...

>>21366843
Me too!

>>21365035
>isn't she arguably the most unknown out of everyone they hired?
She was unknown but still amassed a following and was able to get numbers on the few streams she did as well as her social media impressions. Calli had numbers too so that's still not even a great example. Arguably the least known of HoloMyth was Amelia and even her numbers were considered very high for the time as far as Vtubers go.

>>21365035
>isn't she arguably the most unknown out of everyone they hired?
she was a finalist for holo en 1 and had 16k views on her twitter. it's taken most aspies around 8 months of streaming to get around that many views. she wasn't unknown.

I'm optimistic in thinking that they will eventually go for someone who's very unknown. 2ccv, barely 100 followers, etc.

It'll be harder for anyone to find out their PL at first. Inevitably it would be known and it would be good shadow marketing for them to show that they are willing to invest in people like these. They've already done it in the main branch.

Of course the chance of any of us fags being that person is low. lol

>>21367232
>It'll be harder for anyone to find out their PL at first.
Why do you see this as something that matters?

>>21367232
Now this is some next-level cope

>>21367232
get off the copium you're going to overdose
the lowest they'd settle for is something like 20-30ccv i venture

>>21367051
>16k views on her twitter
i assume you mean twitch and not twitter
speaking of which there are some /here/chuubas that aren't even halfway to those 16k views after nearly a year of streaming
>>21367368
wasn't one of the new nijimales sub 20ccv

>>21367588
>nijimales sub 20ccv
Uki was sub 20 but that's because he was a uitate and not a streamer. his experience comes from the dozens of covers he's put out.

>>21367588
yeah uki. i think he left off at like 2k tops on twitch with around 20ccv give or take and had like 2-3k twitter followers

>>21367588
The one with the successful YouTube, yes. Please, stop with the cope.

>>21367588
CCV isn't the only metric that matters otherwise the ones who don't even stream wouldn't have gotten in, stop trying to find the "loophole" that'll magically get someone with no following and no evident skills get in.

>>21367232
COME ON ANON THATS THE COPIUM I LIKE TO SEE ME AND YOU HOTBOXING A CAR WITH SOME PURE FUCKIN COPIUM WHOOOOOOOO

That written part had better be fucking INSANE anons lmao

>>21367232
>I'm optimistic in thinking that they will eventually go for someone who's very unknown. 2ccv, barely 100 followers, etc.
Genuine question, why?

>It'll be harder for anyone to find out their PL at first
Please do not tell me THIS is the reason. If they cared about PL they'd specifically not go for well known people.

I love VROID! They're so fun and easy to make! Vroids are the commoner's chuuba!

>>21367920
this fucking response is killing me this is too funny

>>21360193
>No VOD
Why?

>>21367368
>20-30ccv
CCV is probably the last thing that matters. I'd wager the combination of experience and successful youtube matters much more. Not experience alone, but showing you've been able to maintain and grow a channel with real content (No AMV anon, your million view AMVs and vine boom memes don't count) means a lot more than being able to get CCV on Twitch when that part is done for you.

>>21368178
thanks anon

I'm going to confess something. I have been submitting random chuubas info through the application process on dummy emails. I thought I might sabotage their chances, but I actually got an acceptance email for one of them.
Doushio?

don't take the bait aspies

>>21368057
Oh, believe me. It will be. If anything, I can write a mean essay.

I WILL post my way into one of the biggest vtuber agencies on the planet. You can count on it.

>>21355222
I wanted to ask about the character creation process.
How they decide on the themes on the groups, the character designs, how do they hire artists, how they decide on the artists to hire, personalities, lore, etc.

>>21360193
I think the stream went better than last time?
The VOD is still processing though... 2 hour long stream.
https://youtu.be/t_mc8LNsDwE

>>21368186
On the channel? I keep them private and upload them to my YouTube channel. >>21369277

>>21368996
what the FUCK?! any insider info on why they choose your dummy???
>>21369140
if you make it in, PLEEEASE do something that shows us you never forgot us!!!

>replying to himself because no one took the bait

>>21342032
Feeling anxious. Just submitted my Nijisanji application!
Now time to forget about it and continue with my own personal stuff to stop the crippling pain of disappointment and make sure I don't lose the energy to continue streaming as an indie!

>>21369375
I mean I can't say for certain why they chose it. I put fairly generic "I always wanted to stream" responses. The chuuba I was impersonating had roughly 3k followers on twitch and 1k on twitter. But they do stream daily for long hours?

>>21369176
>lore
how many of them actually keep up with that?
>>21369396
picrel, i'm a dumb anon

>he doesn't realize the first major question on the form requires an unlisted youtube link to an audition video

>>21369593
It's a nothingburger to rip a few clips from their channel and actual debut. About 10 minutes of effort.

>>21369530
You just confirmed the number filter is real. Thank you for your service.

>>21370119
thats a pretty low filter, even I hit those numbers. I suck ass at streaming

it's really sad that people fall for this bait but at the same time reassuring because they'll all inevitably fail.

>>21370119
I have numbers a little higher than this and I still consider myself a NGMI. If these numbers are too daunting for you regardless of if it's bait or not this isn't for you bro

>>21345064
Advance Wars

Has anyone gotten views on their NIJI audition yet?
They've only viewed mine for the 1st batch of auditions in the past. Wondering if their filter has changed since then, or there's some kind of blacklist.

>>21370902
I don't think they're going to be seriously reviewing apps until the forms close

>>21370902
submitted mine march 4th. zero views. male.

>>21369530
What were the first few seconds of the video you sent in for them like?

Most of my numbers are pretty low, but I have a VTuber TikTok with 8k followers. Do you guys think that'd be enough to boost me past the number filter?

>>21371261
maybe in the niji auditions last year

>>21371100
It was just a straight clip from their debut, the first minute being on one of those "and these are my favorite games!" slides.

>i could be in niji right now if i had just started streaming a year earlier back in 2019

>>21369277
Looks like it’s done processing. Time to sleep…mearw

>>21372421
Random captcha in text. Oops.

Don't lie. That was a catboy noise

>>21371871
>all the people in Niji have been creating content for years prior to Vtubing even being a thing

This cope in this thread is getting out of hand

>>21372553
Oh nyo…

>>21368087
Nice hair

i hope this period of Audition ends soon, not trying to be mean but it's annoying how many people only get interested in vtubing when there's money and fame on the line
going corpo shouldn't the the end all be all of your vtubing career

>>21373235
Maybe you should try posting this on twitter.

>>21368996
Which company?

>>21373235
I know you weren't trying to be mean, but I just started pissing my pants and crying and I feel that I deserve an apology.

>>21373483
sorry Anon, i will clean you up and cuddle with you, will that make you happy?

>>21373235
See it more as a commendation for being official. Like how small time stage performers don't consider themselves worth shit unless they're on broadway or how YouTube actors don't think themselves as actors until they star in a show/movie.

>>21373431
Hololive, was a male chuuba

>>21373540
No, that would make things much worse. Why would I want to cuddle with someone like you, you fucking mean jerk

>>21373614
sorry

Does smoking cigs really ruin your voice?

>>21373813
Yes. Even if your voice doesn't get destroyed, it causes it to be super inconsistent

Apology accepted. I am now more likely to cuddle

Yes. One of the many reasons why you shouldn't smoke them

fuck

why the fuck did so many singers smoke?

>>21374441
falling into a bad decision due to stress and then falling into the addiction, i'd imagine

>>21374441
smoking is cool and attractive

Word on the street is that if you sing this Yagoo will watch your audition cause it's his favorite song!

Don't tell too many people tho

>>21373813
Depends on what kind of voice you want to have. Seki Tomokazu was a heavy smoker during the 90s and he was the quintessential voice for husky hotblooded MC. Even now that huskiness is still present when he portrays Gilgamesh, like the typical hoarse morning voice.
He has a wide range and could portray pretty young boys but smoking and aging really does a number to his voice

Just a silly question, should I make a new twitter account for my vtuber character or just rename an account with a little more followers? it's my account you could say normal but I have some friends go there should I make a new account?

>>21377308
new

>>21377308
if you think your friends won't dox you, keep
if not, new

>>21377308
>rename an account with a little more followers?
why do you think this would matter?

>>21377833
I'm more worried about the fact that they find out that I stream using a vtuber person but I think the other anon is right I will make a new one, I want to stream to complete the game backlog I have more than anything else.

>>21377861
nothing matters

Are you guys going to audition for indie agencies as well?

>>21377944
If they provide models, yes.

Which HoloENs are ESL? i need encouragement, i know Kiara is from Austria.

>>21378191
Gura ame and Mori are American, which is a type of retarded English. Don't worry esl kun, go for it!

>>21377944
Any agencies opening? I actually prefer small corpos desu

>>21378452
Same. I wanna join tsunderia but from what I've heard they're bleeding money. Not expecting them to open auditions anytime soon

>>21378574
Where did you hear that? When Urara and Char did their AMA, they said they were firmly in the black, and that was after TsunDream debuted. What other expenses do they have?

>>21378773
Honestly, I don't remember. Probably some vt rrats. If they're doing good then that's amazing. Now please open auds ;_;

>>21377308
New.
I've gone the route with opsec on creating almost new accounts for everything.

>>21378900
Sounds like an old rrat. Tsunderia was /vt/'s punching bag for a long while until the other startup yabs took the heat off them. Especially now that Miori is about to pass 200k subs, it looks like they're doing better than ever. Now if only my boyfriend would come back, or at least let me know he's okay ;_;

What are Youtube/Twitch policies in regards to showing skeletons/bones? Or is it only the CCP and Bilibili that throw a shitfit over bones? Working on a character design right now that might have exposed bones as part of it.

>>21379418
Bones and skeletons are fine

>>21379495
Desirable, even

Do most babiniku just have some form of autogynephilia?

>>21380112
no

>>21380112
Yes.

>>21377308
Make a new account for opsec's sake. If you have any sort of skill like drawing or singing or whatever, you can fish for follows by using vtuber hashtags.

>>21346704
Who? Post your twitter, I'm curious.

>>21380112
Yeah, probably.

>>21380112
Wanting to be the anime little girl is time-honored otaku tradition.
No need to be an autogynephile, or god forbid, a tranny to do so.

>>21380713
>Wanting to be the anime little girl is time-honored otaku tradition.
>No need to be an autogynephile
Hmm not sure I agree with you there

>>21380947
you'd be surprised at the number of stupid lonely men on the internet who merely pretend to be women so they can ERP and get attention from anyone

>>21380983
Bummer man

>>21381029
we even have a board for those types of people and its the trash heap you'd expect it to be

>>21380947
Nah, there's no need to be a sexual component to want to be the little girl.
You are mistaking cause with effect here.

>>21380112
for me being babi has nothing to do with sexuality or anything like that. At best you can call me a fag, but I'm a boy who likes boys (and girls sometimes) and my model is just a character in the end. Sometimes i dress cute to confuse people and make them think there must be some underlying reason to it, but no. I just like cute stuff aesthetically just as i like wearing button shirts and suits.

>>21380112
You have to keep in mind that otaku culture directed towards males is 99% focused on the girls. So it comes to reason it would be what they know best so if it comes down to it it is also what they would "do best" considering they also would know what do if in that a position. They have more knowledge from which to drawn from from both the media they've consumed and what they, as a dude, would want from the anime girl.
Now, how many men out there do you know that consume female directed media just as much? For yumejos or fujoshis. Very minimal, right? It would be way harder for a normal dude to play a character for that. It would also be harder for a dude to think playing a character like that would be more fun or attractive.
Sure there's stuff like shounen that's obviously directed at males but no one's gonna watch a Kenshiro or Goku Vtuber.
It's weird logic but it makes sense in a way. An anime girl is simply more fun and easy to understand.
Also, bigger possible audience.

>>21369329
what the fuck, why would you do this?

You currently have ZERO content on your twitch. This means when I go to check it out, it looks like a viewer account.
You have no VODs, no clips, the only information on your page is your specs, and your twitter feed.
You link to your twitter, and to your youtube, but your landing page for youtube doesn't have videos (consider linking to your playlist page, instead)
When I was a smaller streamer, I would check out people who followed me - a lot of them were other streamers. That's how I met a few friends I have now, checking out their twitch, then bouncing into their twitter, then chatting with them in discords.

If they had an empty page, I'd stop there.

1 - set a background image in your twitch profile.
2 - write your 'about me'. Doesn't have to be LOTS, but at least something along the lines of "I stream minecraft once a week", or #envtuber
3 - speaking of, your twitter bio says '#envtiber'. Do a spelling check.

Definitely consider leaving your videos on twitch. One of the HUGE things you should be doing is minimizing clicks that people need to do. They should land on your page, and see your content. From your twitter, they should be able to get to your stream with a single click - your link should be your twitch. You should include it in other posts.

If you put as much effort into literally ANYTHING else that you did into obsessing over what colour buttons to put on your shoes, you'd be doing better.

>>21381235
>Sure there's stuff like shounen that's obviously directed at males but no one's gonna watch a Kenshiro or Goku Vtuber.

That looks more Sora than Shounen Protagonist and I needn't tell you how hard the fujo goes at KH. Granted, you could argue Sora is a Shounen Protagonist but still.

>>21382071
You'll never get lucky if you never try to begin with. As someone who's followed him from the start, he went in with a plan and executed it perfectly though I doubt he knew he'd blow up as hard as he did.

He was doing pre-debut shilling, tiktoks, etc and was a part of a discord community of friends that helped him with his initial audience and content. He got one explosive growth from a viral tweet, which gave him exposure with the vtuber community and then more from Tiktok which is where he started. He was inevitably going to be big even if it wasn't to thousands of viewers.

>>21382154
Tons of people out there have done that too and are still 2views.

>>21382203
There's very few people who have done actual planning and made actual effort that are 2views. I don't mean "post a couple of low effort tiktoks and stream 2 times a week while uploading unedited thumbnails" type shit you see here constantly.

I rarely see anyone go that hard from day zero with consistent uploads, consistent edits, consistent everything, and a using communities they're a part of, the guy did it as a PNG and was uploading everywhere all the time to make sure his face was all over the place. Who else is doing all that and is still a 2view?

>>21376987
This helps a lot.

>>21382588
That’s awesome. Good luck!
I’m still a little ways away from applying to Hololive but that’s not really far off from how I plan to do my audition video. I have a pretty good voice acting range and plan to flex it for entire audition

>>21382588
The real question is whether you will be an Omaru Polka clown or an Arthur Fleck clown.

I sent them my application 2 days ago (Niji and Holo). My exp is YouTube (10k, male) dedicated to music (reviews, interviews etc), my eigo is pretty good I think (UK bros always thought I was from some part of UK when I was talking to them), I didn't do much variety of voices, but rather kept acting in character I came up with. 1 view thus far with 47 seconds (which is about 20 s before my "stream clips"). I wonder if I should hold my breath, I mean they did watch more than 5 s.

>>21383057
The real question is if I missed the phone call or not. This COULD just all be a fluke. Should I even be posting at all? Will they see this post?

>>21383171
what I see is, that despite you clearly not following 5 min rule, they still watched the whole thing. and if they would contact you, I'd say the first round would be by email

>>21383171
congrats. hope you make it!

>>21383171
They're probably still in the decision making phase before they send out the email.
Congrats though, I'm going to watch out for you saying step right up in your debut video if you do make it. Maybe best to stay quiet until you know for sure.

>>21382588
>88
You made it

>>21380112
depends on their choice of female vtuber.

>>21383608
How would it depend based on that?

How do I rig my model for vseeface in blender? Is there a naming convention for bones? I can't find doc for this.

>>21341477
yes

>>21345064
Obviously starcraft is fun. Also supcom if you want the bigbrain audience, multiplayer is brutal though.

I have good design sketched out, but finding a good affordable artist is hard, most I see are $1000+

>>21384733
What were you expecting?
You won't get good stuff for cheap. And if you're not willing to shell out then just keep drawing your stuff yourself.

>Gamma's debut is going exactly how my own dream fantasy debut would go
I WILL join starsEN and I WILL become EN gamma

Just finished my first stream and gained 10 followers all throughout with a maximum of 10 CCV at my peak. Don’t know if that’s good or not but I hope that means I’m gonna make it.

>>21385109
That's pretty good for a first stream, but now you have to maintain it.

>>21385109
Not bad at all, considering I’ve been at it for a few weeks and am a literal 2view

>>21385137
Yeah, I don’t expect the road ahead will be easy but that first stream is the huge confidence boost I needed. Hoping I could maintain even half of that in the coming days if not consistently raise my CCV.

>>21362280
Just start slow, prioritize your real life but just see if you enjoy streaming. Nonetheless congrats on your irl successes, always something to be proud of :)

>>21382588
You are probably going to get the email but if not, know that the reason is most likely that you posted all this information on 4chan.

>>21382588

They wouldn't be able to access the views/watchtime, but the content?

Guys, guys. I can pretty much say with 100% certainty that I'm probably not gonna make it. Now that the haze is gone from my mind; I am fine with not making it. But to insist that they take ANYTHING on this site seriously enough to monitor this thread every time it's made is laughable. If I don't get the email in a week or so I refuse to be a 2 view. I'll just get back into welding or something. Not to blogpost or anything, but you'll hear if I DON'T get in. Such is life I'm afraid.

>>21388481
You seem very stupid. You'd fit right into the Niji males so yeah, maybe you'll make it despite your idiotic self-doxing behavior.

>>21382588
>no streaming knowledge
Filterfags btfo

>>21388918
I have years of streaming knowledge and a following but no special skills beyond that and they watched my video for under a minute and dipped. I think they're looking for other skills first and foremost.

>>21387860
Any proof they do? And what makes you think it's to filter people out rather than for scouting purposes?

>>21389024
If you seriously think they're not, you're just retarded. This is the largest hub talking about Vtubers in English.
>scouting purposes
Oh yeah, you are retarded.

>>21389024
Look at the Rushia yab, as a company you're not gonna want to deal with the drama of someone who can't keep their mouth shut.

>>21377944
It'd be cool to apply to them after i get a decent amount of experience under my belt. I'm sure a lot more will pop up in a yearish as new opportunities, so I'm glad i'll be starting soon.

>>21388481
>If I don't get the email in a week or so I refuse to be a 2 view. I'll just get back into welding or something. Not to blogpost or anything, but you'll hear if I DON'T get in
Pity begging won't get you anywhere. Also if your main craft is welding why the fuck would you consider vtubing for a career rather than hobby? There is much more money to be made welding.

Model finally textured. Had to do some remodeling after watching a rigging tutorial that said to have pupils separated from the eye mesh. I must say I am actually content with how the mode turns out despite being my first and not even using my reference doodles.
Now to rig this shit. pls help. >>21384459

>>21379205
Why was it a punching bag? I checked their streams recently, they seems wholesome and provide contents around niche hobbies like retro gaming.

>>21385153
Marketing really helps, even just the simple approaching a VTuber fan who likes my posts/tweets to do small talk. I’m 100% sure I’d have been a 0view if I didn’t do that. Apparently 40 different people dropped in and only 10% from exploring on Twitch; most came from social media where I heavily shilled my stuff.

Will you /asp/ add #vtuber, #envtuber etc in every tweets?

>>21382588
Try Hololive too since they're looking for males and if you can get this much from Niji's application then you'll do just as well for Hololive.

>>21390479
Probably for all my promo tweets before my first stream and all my going live tweets. It'd be pretty obnoxious under every tweet honestly

Is "Shotcut" a video editor that good enough for basic edit?

>>21391044
Oh forget to say, because I find it's totally free.

>>21381462
Thanks for the feedback, I’ll happy to wait until tonight to start addressing most of them, but good catch on the #ENVTiber, fixed.

I bought a Yeti X as I found one for 90€ during a clearance sale. I can still go ahead and return it, but this should be good to go right? Or is there a better setup for around the same price range? I'm aware that the Yeti is a bit of a meme but the price was good.
My dream setup is a GoXLR and a Shure SM7B but I told myself that I will not spend that kind of money until I at least get some return in the future.

>>21390393
I will definitely do that. I’ve just been really busy at work and my body apparently remembered that I have major depression since adding one more thing to my schedule (streaming), so I’ve been taking long naps once I get home and before streaming. I’m getting over it though, and my mood at least hasn’t suffered.
Thanks for the encouragement and the reminder!

Is it weird to want to become a vtuber (compared to a facecam streamer) because of a combo of liking the additional anonymity + not being confident in my physical appearance? I think my face is ugly as hell and since to Twitch zoomers calling someone bald is the apex of humor I know half the comments would be about that which would be annoying

>>21393847
No, next question now please.

>>21391044
depends on what you mean by basic edit
windows movie maker from a decade ago is """good enough""" if you just wanna do truly basic stuff, so shotcut should be functional for you. if you are on linux you could look into kdenlive which has more features and is completely free
if you are on windows you should really just pirate sony vegas/davinci resolve/adobe premier pro unless you are a computer illiterate underaged zoomer at which point you should give up trying to do any kind of editing anyway

>>21393847
I personally don't think it's weird, i kinda relate in a way. Your core audience wouldn't even know that is a reason why you became a vtuber, so it's really nothing to fret about. I'd say it's a convenient equalizer for those kinds of content creators

Do you think anybody would be interested in programming streams? I was thinking it would be really boring watching someone debug for like an hour

>>21394267
No one watches those.

>>21393898
What's a simple yet tasteful art style I can copy so I can animate my PNG with ease in the future?

>>21394267
I know a lot of people SAY they want it, but I don't think it would ever be more than a hyperniche thing unless you're really engrossing. I am a software dev who kicked around doing programming streams, but I really doubt anyone woukd watch them because watching ither people code is fucking boring.

>>21394267
Boring.
t. programmer
You can do non-stream tutos tho. Some vtubers already do that kind of stuff.

>>21394267
It can't be just programming. Has to involve something physical and extraordinary like what Micheal Reeves did.

>>21394267
for the 6000000 time, no one fucking cares about what you do or how your little .png looks or what heckin royalty free background music you use

all that matters is entertainment, you are either;
a stand up comedian cracking jokes and keeping your audience entertained
perform on an impressive professional tier level to keep your audience entertained (esports/speedrunners)
or showing off something highly interesting/new that people wants to spend their time watching

its as simple as that

christ this is going to take a while

>>21394267
I'll do an RPG Maker part on my stream tomorrow, but it's a lot different because it shows something visual and i have a reason for doing it. I'm going to show game design ideas, which might be of interest to some people especially the crowd who wanted more "Extra Creditey" content. I'm not deluded enough to believe it would be enough to stand as it's own content, but it might be neat for a small excursion.

In Short >>21394666 satan anon speaks the truth. It's interesting if YOU can make it interesting.

>>21395145

>>21399889

>>21393847
No, vtubing is a new frontier and allows a sense of anonymity which allows people who dont feel comfortable about their identity due to being in positions that matter to be able to stream.

Now the only problem is that most of the vtuber watchers think that vtubers=anime but steps are being taken to decouple this and to make people think that vtubers=just streamers with avatars which should be the future.

WERE HALF WAY THROUGH THE WEEK!
What have you accomplished /asp/ and what are the streams going forward for the week? Any big weekend stream plans?

On twitch, is there a way to see how long viewers stay around for?

>>21400045
This is an interesting take, but it's kind of nonsensicle when you think about the history.
Creators with avatars have always been around, the whole virtual youtubers explosions happened solely because of kizuna ai and her popularity. Most vtubers have no correlation to the way kizuna ai was conducted and don't even say "virtual world" anymore.
In the end it is inspired by what's happening right now in japan. If not it would just be avatars.

>>21384039
Not that anon but I think it depends on how they approach their audience, using a female model and just being wholesome is different being a dude using a female model and acting like a slut.

How many streams should you do before posting them in :wvt/?

>>21401657
Waiting on artists to do my model and overlays. I made a new blizzard account for when i stream hearthstone and played on it to get it set up with cards and stuff so it wasn't just me doing tutorial nonsense the whole time when i began. Later I plan on making some twitch profile banners and typing out my "about me's" on all my media pages.

I did get some video editing reps in for a cover which is basically done and just waiting on a mixer
I don't really have any big stream plans but I'll be doing a zatsudan today which I don't usually do and getting more practice with that will be nice

i have done absolutely jack shit this week besides writing out stream ideas and thinking about my overall schedule
i'm also kinda sick but that's no excuse since i played fucking fortnite for like 12 hours yesterday

Would any /asp/ be interested on some free rigging for their model? I'm building my portfolio so I can start taking commissions and I think I would be doing more good offering this here than doing a rigging raffle on twitter.

I’m presuming that it needs to be sliced already, correct?
