/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

If I have a streaming account I used sparingly in the past, would it make more sense to rename it or to make a fresh one?

how do you come up with a good name? is making a weeby name cringe

Previous thread moved fast. What's up with that?
Also good luck for whatever you're doing today my frens. Today will be a good day for you.

>>22176781
It's cringe, but this cringe is still the standard. It's a question often asked ITT and the answer is generally that your name doesn't really matter.
My personal take is that it shouldn't be too long tho and if you can, make it rhyme.

>>22176488
Depends.
Is that account linked to anything that could be a problem, or was it just a streaming account? If you used to be a facecam streamer, then do you want to run the risk of your face popping up (for instance, in the shoutout bot)?
On the other hand, if you didn't do anything bad with it, then it's just a small boost at the beginning for you.

>>22176781
I didn't come up with a good one, to be fair.
You want something simple, distinctive, and without Ch, TV, TTV, VT, or numbers in it. You can maybe get away with replacing letters/numbers if you want.
For instance, AtropaEverwood.
It's obviously two words, easy enough to say, easy to shorten, and no numbers. Distinctive, too, which helps.

>>22176781
>how do you come up with a good name?
Open up a notebook and write down every idea you get. Write down names you like. Write down names of things. Combine them in interesting ways.

>>22176488
Depends on your take on opsec.
Can the email used to open it be seen publicly?
Can your account url be tied to your identity?

>>22177155
No facecam past, my face isn't online. I'm only doing kayfabe levels of account separation anyway, so it doesn't really worsen my opsec.

>>22176781
Do you have a game you fanboy over it anon?
Work with that like I did.

I've grown to hate the name I came up with. I'm days away from finally throwing myself in the arena and I must find something new and make sure I won't end up resenting that name either.

>>22177523
Tryouts. Ask friends to call you by that name for a while. That's a very good way to find out if you're going to get tired of it or not.

>>22177590
>friends

>>22177523
>>22177590
Ah nevermind that, I just searched for similar names for a replacement, and I found one that exactly the same meaning, mostly spelled the same, except with a tiny variation that is enough to make it sound much better.

>>22171119
Cute model and cute voice, have a follow

I know people say that you should review your VODs to see what to improve on, but going further and actually trying to edit those for YouTube videos actually revealed so much to me, granted they weren't streams but offline recordings. There are so many things I edited out, and converted 1 hour into 8 minutes. Even though I was speaking for most of that time with little dead air. Just because the air isn't dead doesn't necessarily mean it'd be entertaining. Then again I think the live twitch experience is quite different from edited YouTube content, so brief bits of air like that would obviously be more acceptable in a livestream.

What's a good source for sound effects? I'm trying to edit my first video and hitting a bit of a wall with finding sounds I want. Do I need to worry a lot about DMCA with memes or other sound effects?

>Do I need to worry a lot about DMCA with memes or other sound effects?
If it's not a non-short music snippet, no.

>>22181677
Video game SFX is always safe. Anime SFX seems to be used a lot so it should be safe as well.
Otherwise any of the endless "royalty free sound bank".

extreme buff, asians love brits for literally no reason
t. lived in SEA for a while

>>22184719
Buff unless it's liverpool accent because nobody understand what are they saying.

>>22184719
You already know the answer to that.

>>22181627
i dont think thats a huge problem. i personally absolutely hate watching streams for this exact reason. the time you have to commit and the amount of entertainment you get is simply abysmal even for the biggest streamers and the only benefit is the social and interactive aspect

>>22184858
>it's liverpool accent
fucking scousers.
Thankfully, I've lost most of the accent.

>>22184719
my asian friend wanted a british accent when learning english, they think it sounds cool and asked me to imitate

Personally I think people doesn't need to cover their accent unless it's cause people unable to understand what are you saying.
Because having a accent is a unique thing.

>>22176412
I do art streams more frequently and I did better than before, but one of my main debuffs is my wifi, besides of being esl.

Doing less than 360p of video quality during streams can be a debuff for my content?

Or should I go straight to produce youtube videos for offering quality for my viewers? I least I know even with my poor quality of image and constant lags I had some people chatting with me during my streams.

>>22184775
>>22184807
damn really I never really liked my accent because its different to most streamers and stuff but people have said its nice before thats so weird

>>22184441
me too anon :]

>>22185462
720p is a minimum in 2022 - YouTube doesn't even consider it worthy of an "HD" moniker anymore. Of course, you can be successful with toaster quality - after all, some notable YouTubers began with literal VHS captures back in the day - but anything less than about 720p will act as a debuff in my view.

any aspies streaming today? i'd like to watch some of you while doing some scuff overlays for myself

I've really liked delving into pre-recorded content as opposed to live streams. It's kind of like a whole different set of skills are being used which makes sense, the YouTube audience and twitch audience are very different from each other, the same way say the tiktok audience is from twitch too

>>22190505
anyone who does this to ensure their own anonymity, which I think is a vast majority, should give a shit.

>>22190567
>which I think is a vast majority
you're thinking wrong.

>>22190505
It does seem weird to me and I tend to think of myself as a pretty normal person. It would kinda defeat the purpose of what I've set out to do by being a vtuber if I were to show my face, but I don't knock other people for doing it. Just isn't for me

>>22190726
anon... you didn't show your face, right...?

>>22190567
i think males might care more, but i feel like most western vtuber women are begging for an excuse to show their real face

>>22190567
Most people don't give a fuck outside the people who would never watch most indie streamers who aren't pandering to /vt/ to begin with.

no stream from me tonight, i had something setup for more ff8, but i think i wanna take a break and spend some time with my friend instead. not like anyone is gonna wait, i definitely have to make my schedule less full, 2-3 days a week should be the maximum.

Look into transfem voice lesson resources, and I'm not even joking - they're some of the best voice training material you can get for free, even if you're not trans.

>>22186547
I don't like much the idea of doing even more low image quality streams, but I'm going to test lower resolutions on the next days to see if it goes smoothly than before.
I can do 720p youtube videos, what really makes me feel uncomfortable is the possibility of not swearing while talking due the monetization and learn how to edit videos from scratch.
Do you know resources on video editing, anon?

>>22193448

the one run by lance and cadence are the same since they have identical admin teams. both are dead the difference being cadence's is dead because some furfag kills all conversation.

Most of my favourite manga never got official english releases, which means I had to essentially pirate it by reading fan translations. I imagine if I ever applied to a big corpo vtuber stable I wouldn't be able to list any of those as my actual favourites, right?

here, sorry for the cringe name. I am also having tons of problems with a game that doesn't show when I add game capture

>But nobody is actually gonna ask you, so I wouldn't worry about it
but if it's known I don't speak japanese and it's known that the manga in question never got an official commercial english release then surely it would be obvious the only way I could read is through what is essentially piracy?

>>22199039
>with a game that doesn't show when I add game capture
window capture?

>>22199068
i guess i have no option then, i don't like using window capture because my background is very yabai

>>22199039
If a game doesn't show up on OBS, check if you have anticheat compatibility enabled.
That's how I fixed my issue with Elden Ring.
Otherwise, you're gonna have to use display capture.

>>22199202
window capture doesn't show your background

>>22199259
>window capture doesn't show your background
it does, I used it once and chat saw my background and laughed at it. Or am I using it wrong? right now I am trying to see how to make it work so it also doesn't show OBS....

Unless the corpo has a partnership with the publisher in question, I really wouldn't worry about it.

Do you think it's worth becoming an affiliate as soon as you can or is it only worth it if your audience is bigger? The emotes and everything doesn't seem worth having ads when I know how infrequent payouts will be.

>>22199861
Tell your audience to install an adblocker.

god what a pain in the ass, i give up. I am going to wait until I have my second monitor to stream

>>22190415
I actually like these threads, it makes me laugh when someone lacks the basic self awareness that they are actively sabotaging themselves if they're ugly. I have unfollowed others before because of their face reveals, it's so funny how they just don't have that self awareness.

If they've got a pretty face behind the avatar too, then shit, all the more power too them.

'Immersion' isn't a huge thing for me, but when it's some fatso LARPing as an anime catgirl/catboy, I've gotta go.

Alright anons, be honest with me
I've been learning 3d shit for a year now. I finally got the ArcSys look down, and I will start shitting out ArcSys styled big vtubers to advertise me. Problem is, I can only give the full fbx with rig and textures but no Unity file, as my pc is a toaster and can't run unity. Would you commision this? Even if you had to export the fbx and mingle with the model yourself? I was thinking of charging like 100 bucks since I can't give the unity file, or even help whoever commissions me, is it worth it?
Is it common to give only the rigged character but no unity file?

I've had this nagging desire of wanting to apply to holostars ever since the EN announcement but I really don't think I'm cut out for it.

>have nearly zero life experiences with which to make zatsu content out of
I know at least three YouTube channels which make good viewcoun ts solely out of being funny about internet drama. If you've been a NEET for 15 years, you certainly have a lot of stories to tell. Become the denpa zatsu who talks about old /b/.

>>22201538

>>22202100
It's pretty much just exporting and hoping it works, there's some videos on the process, but then again I can't test them and only reccomend them. It's even worse considering I don't have the hardware to at least test in godot. I can only pray it works on their end

if your model isn't rigged to move your mouth from side to side then the enhanced tracking data has nowhere to go and will do nothing. this is great for high end models but not so much if you're mid range or lower.

>>22206368
Germany?

>>22207922
i do speak german as one of my languages, yes

>>22207805
for this, if you can't rig on your own, consider commissioning some fiverr rigger and getting the .cmo3 file and adding on additions yourself, it is much easier adding on things you want in cubism when the basics are already rigged for you, such as a mouth moving side to side, or you can pay another rigger who does these things to add them on to the original .cmo3 for a fraction of their original rig cost (varies from rigger to rigger, some may not want to work on another riggers rig, but it doesnt hurt to ask)

Interesting. Are you actually trans or is there some other reason you went for a male character?

>>22209252
i think the best way to describe it without sounding like a schizoid would be non binary. i've tried debuting with a cute girl avatar before, but after a while, it got very uncomfortable for me, so i redebuted with a male avatar. it is a femboy, but a male overall. maybe that is what caused my decline in viewership as well.

there's probably a good 5-6 more i'm missing but these ones stick out in my head currently

If a /asp/ makes it into a corpo they should sing or say they like David Bowie's man who sold the world as a nod. Is there a good reason for this? Well no but it does show as some sort of inspiration, I know if I do I'll fucking sing it or hum it from time to time.

>>22209625

>>22209625
Where's Mashimyu?

>>22210118
Damn, I didn't even realize she was that big, and she's partnered? What's she doing here?

And aside from her, who do you think is most likely to make it? I kind of want to place my bets on Kaiser, something about him

>>22210541
Mashi. She's pretty buffed.

>>22210504
like i said, i forgot a few lmao
mashi is cute though i'm not sure how far i'd imagine her inclining
i don't really have much room to talk about that topic honestly since i regularly sit at around 10 ccv on average
>>22210541
its really hard to say. i sat in kaiser's stream yesterday and he seemed very passionate about the things he was working on but passion can only take you so far compared to actively playing the system and taking the steps you need to take offline to really help boost your viewership

>>22210220
Thanks for the suggestion!
Now I need to think of what to doodle next…

>>22211132
This seems like pretty constructive feedback, got any more for our /asp/ies? Or just general board advice? I'm not sure if any except a2unya and Kaiser post or lurk often, but maybe they're around

>>22211546
there's a lot of people who do but i'd rather give advice when it's asked for
i don't really have any general advice to pass around that hasn't been mentioned and timelooped for months here though so I usually wait for some kind of discussion topic before giving any input

What are some good things to do when you're not streaming to get some attention on you?

Been out of the streaming game for a while and only just got back into it but I've been burned a lot by getting too close to people only for them to stop being close to me; I get attached to new people very quickly so it's hard for me to figure out a way to stay detached at the same time as getting more eyes on me.

>>22211132
kaiser got the babi debuff unfortunately

>>22211132
what do you think I can improve on anonchama? this is a general question for anymore who cares to answer too

>>22211912
tiktok is the most common answer; clipping yourself and making content that can be digested while you aren't live is huge.
making memes and other goofy posts on twitter also can help but its a lot harder to get noticed with that
someone posted Lightoss a few weeks ago and how he literally make a video of him wiggling his model with free "arm holding a cat" asset on top of him and he got a bunch of interactions from that. Lex Parte was also a very small streamer but he posted a couple of short gifs and also some helpful obs tips on his twitter which got him picked up there; he went from having like sub 100 followers to 1k after he got retweeted by some bigger chuubas like hiiragi yuu
>>22211940
i think he said he's getting a new design that looks closer to like, gran from gbf

>>22212387
I don't know, I'm happy with what you're doing atm.

>>22212542
thank you anon, thats very nice of you. I'm a bit menhera lately so I find it harder to stream or draw.. hopefully I'll get back to it soon.

>>22212387
i'll be honest i haven't tuned into your streams for a long while but you also have just started from what i recall, my advice would really just to make sure you aren't just hitting go live and that you are also networking with other chuubas
you do do art so you can use that to your advantage if you want to incline; drawing art of other chuubas is a nice way to get noticed by them and i've seem some people incline through getting noticed by their fanart

>>22212678
>>22212387
oh also to follow up since i saw you talking about it in the thread, you really don't need to stream every day and don't push yourself to do so. if you're having fun doing it then by all means but don't force it if you get tired

>>22209787
>>22208888
I've started streaming a few months ago and I can't help but wonder if I really have what it takes. I can't stream many games because my PC is a potato, so I'm very limited with what I can do. I have fun, but I can't stop thinking I'm just boring.

I think I'm getting used at rambling about random crap on stream, my throat is hurting a tiny bit.
Is this how it starts?

Can someone recommend voice changing software? I don't care how jank it is, I just want to disguise my voice.

>>22212811
If you're boring or not is up to the viewer anon, just have fun and be consistent, game the system a little if you want to and growth will come naturally

>>22213032

>>22212740
thank you for the advice.
I did think about the chuuba fanart thing, especially for other english speaking artist chuubas I admire, I just find it hard to draw atm. as for networking, I really don't know how to go about it. I have trouble approaching people and I feel bad even for advertising myself on here. I realize I am just making excuses \venting but my mood is not the best because of real life issues I need to get solved first and I keep putting off. anyway, thank you. I'll keep trying.

>>22212844
stay hydrated.

>>22213203
>as for networking, I really don't know how to go about it
doing the fanart and dropping it in their tag is a great way to break the ice. networking is basically just making friends so making art is a good way to start talking

>>22213307
NTA but what if I can't draw for a shit?
>>22213053
I think I'm upping my networking reps but I have this constant fear that if I reach to someone they'll think I'm only after the numbers and/or will get completely ignored because I don't have those same numbers. I'm trying to build my portfolio to apply for a corpo but the more I look at my stuff I feel I won't make it, even as an indie.

>>22213203
to add to >>22213307, drawing fanart is also a nice way to get yourself noticed by other people outside of your audience. Drawing fanart of anime you like is also a good way to get yourself as an artist and if you announce your streams on social media people that followed your for your art might take a peek.

Ok, BGM playlist is ready, audio settings are almost ready, PNG model and overlays for drawing streams are ready (art is main focus until I get over nerves and some audio stuff).
I even edited a small transition of my OC/"Model" to tease my start at streaming to some friends.

How should I post that tease on Social Media?

>>22213565
then you can't very well do fanart without doing your reps
other avenues would be making memes with your model or just making banger tweets
however, for those to pop off at all you'll actually need to have people following you first; sometimes if someone that has a big following replies to or retweets something that you did it can get eyes on you but also make sure you be realistic and remember while the numbers are nice that it won't always translate to new viewers

I want to try streaming so I can learn to talk to people and make friends. How do start talking?

>>22213815
Yeah for real what's a good way of growing that involves less interaction with people also fighting to make it?

>>22212476
I see people dropping Tiktok but I feel its still a bad idea. Tiktok zoomer rarely translate into views for your streams or videos, only case where I saw someone grow a bit from it was Grimmi, but so far she's the only one I've heard of. Might as well just make YT shorts.
>>22213841
I'm not a fucking artist, I don't make fanart because I'm not an artist. I get by with memes and tweets, but the fear or reaching out sometimes gets the best of me. Feels like you can't do unless you're around the same numbers as the person you're contacting.

>>22214505
I realize how I sound but my desire to compete is in the little ways I can get ahead. I don't really understand the promo game out of not wanting to spam as an ad or overshadow someone else, I DO have a nature of competition I just don't know how to grasp it

>>22213222
I am, I'll need to buy a much bigger water bottle than the one I have.
>>22214408
Talk as if you were having a conversation with another person, even if there's no one watching you.
Disable/turn off viewer counts, that helps me.

>>22204145
>>22206243

hello i am the dog, vampire anon, you're incredible, this is a lot to have accomplished regardless of if u think ur a ngmi or not!! i think with all of these qualifications you are gmi though, good luck! and if it makes you feel better, i can get pretty menhera too, and i think you are way more qualified to be in a corpo than i or others may be. i have a hunch we may be mutuals, but i might be mistaken

>>22211737
hello aspfriend, if you would be inclined, i would love more feedback from you, you've really helped me out in the past! looking past the issues of streaming consistency, is there anything you think i can improve on? i feel like a lot of my jokes / comments didn't really land on my last stream but i was also feeling pretty loopy, so hopefully it doesn't happen again

i've lost a lot of my drive lately despite still feeling lots of love and passion for the hobby itself, but i think it's just because i'm dumb and menhera... i hope i can fix it soon

>>22214408
Write down topics that you like (anime, food, game, whatever) and go from there?

>>22214505
Is that how my question came off as? I was just asking of how I should post my 5 second tease

>>22214952
I have personal issues with "competing" when at level 0.

I think it's because I think it'll all burn out and I'll have wasted my time, but things are different in my life off the net than the last times I've tried to do this so I will get out of that mindset

do you guys buy youtube ads?

>>22215194
i do see a lot of those vtuber self-intro ads when browsing YT on my phone (no adblock)
wonder how much that costs and how much subs you can get out of it

>>22215194
Aware of and considering for another project.

There's a thread about HStars right now and as a response to what can be done to help them honestly they need a good event for as many markets as reasonable and a solid ad campaign, I'm sure they're great guys but fujo bait is fujo bait until I'm made aware otherwise

>>22214638
oh you were asking about networking LMAO my bad
honestly people used to talk down vchatters but hanging out in other chuubas chats and discords to a degree does help people remember you. if you follow someone bigger than you and interact in their chats a lot and they recognize you it really isn't that awkward to reach out privately
i've seen it happen /here/ where people with single digit ccv with get collabs with people at like 100+
as for tiktok (since i'm both people you replied to), you can do both, YT shorts and tiktok both have to be in the same 9:16 aspect ratio so if you're gonna make the shorts you might as well upload them to TT as well
there's other people its worked out for like Kainen and SunKenji so I wouldn't ignore it completely. 9:16 ratio also works for twitter videos as well so you can kill 3 birds with one stone
>>22214796
am i that transparent that you realize its me again ahahaha, i'll take a look at your last vod but you seem to realize that consistency is a big thing. consistency on twitter is also pretty important; i'm seeing that you don't post all too often on birdsite either and i don't ever think you've appeared on my feed since i started following you
you could also do with more clips of yourself; looking at your twitter feed you have no shortage of interactions but if you put some stream content there it might have people be more inclined to check you out for your content
your art is also real cute

>>22215406
You know I'll be honest the people I tend to connect with are actual fucking hackers. It's happened uh, too many fucking times and it makes me scared of trying to connect on the net, kind of why I'm here now no one should be able to follow up with an anonymous

>>22215566
Never been actually compromised, I still got my day job and shit, just leaves me scared

>>22202051
>resistant to flavour of the month games
that's a debuff
game catalog consists mostly of niche indie strategy/4x games
that's a debuff
>unusual taste of manga, anime, and music for my demographic
that's a debuff

>>22214796
okay so i skipped around your last vod and nothing really stuck out as bad, you were interacting with your chatters fine and reacting well enough with the game. rpgs are always tricky to do commentary for especially if they're blind since you wanna find that middle ground between following the story and entertaining the chat
>>22215566
look i don't know who you've been interacting with but the circle of streamers that hang around here and /wvt/ are almost all really cool people so i'd say you'd have a safe time integrating and hanging around the chats of /here/chuubas if you want to take some first steps

>>22214650
>my desire to compete is in the little ways I can get ahead.
you need to provide something that's valuable but also niche. become known as that streamer who does that one particular thing.

>>22215406
>oh you were asking about networking LMAO my bad
Not me you replied to but yeah I was; I have no idea how to network when all the past people I networked with either forgot me or dropped me (because I get attached easily and get very friendly with people, sometimes overly friendly; idk how to make Vtuber friends without getting overly attached)

Oh wow her instagram has it all

Okay so I found her on the farms.

Any artist chuubas here? do you prefer to stream the coloring or start from the rough sketch?

>>22220466
don't engage with him. he posted one of the femchuubas from here to the farms and they doxxed her and are bragging about going through her social media posts right now.

do you opsec reps and stop reusing old accounts aspies.

>>22220736
I've seen people draw from 0 but I'm not confident on getting a proper sketch done fast enough on stream to do that so I start streaming from a sketch.

>>22220862
yeah, same. It already takes me ages to paint, so I prefer not to stream my drawings until I can get fast enough.

>>22220736
I haven't streamed art yet but I would probably start from the sketch since I have trouble deciding on poses usually.

>>22220736
Personally I skip sketches and start painting the pic immediately, but this takes a lot of getting used to so I don't know if I can recommend it to most. This style feels great for streaming in my experience because it has a lot of wow factor if you work fast enough.

>>22220800
what a faggot

Hey, I was just wondering, how do I accelerate my twitter growth if my account isn't fresh? I've been growing it since 2019, and it hit ~450 followers recently. I want to hit 1k asap this year, now that I started streaming as a Vtuber (I want more people in my streams). My art got retweeted recently by one of the NijiEN talents which got it to 2k likes and gave me around 15 new followers, which felt great. I am normally a Holo artist though, but if that one Niji fanart got some attention, should I just spam Niji art instead? Also, does the algorithm prefer it if I draw as much as I can every day or should I stick to drawing big pieces that drop every few days? Sorry if this is a lot to ask.

>>22220800
This doesn't even seem to be true by the way.

>>22221289
usually pro artists do a drawing twice a week, maybe even one every 2 days

personally i found decent success on reddit where one piece of 1k ish upboats can net me 20 followers, if you spam genshin art and gacha game art in general you can see some amazing growth assuming you are decent enough to get to the front page. most of the time they just want to see tits and ass so its not that hard. give it a try, cant go wrong with genshin, fgo, and azure lane

>>22221718

is anyone here able to give me advice?

>>22222580
definitely not

>>22222580
Advice about what?

i was wondering how i can do better or improve. here's my twitch: https://twitch.tv/miyuyus
i'm not the greatest at making friends or keeping them, and i've been running out of games to play or things to do. i'm trying to figure out how to interact more with chat when i have lurkers.

>>22213203
If you want to make friends don't worry so much about Networking mate. Just find things both of you like and get to talking, whether in their community discord or whatever, you need to take the first step yourself. Can't expect others to dm you

>>22222993
>https://twitch.tv/miyuyus
i like your stuff, very comfy.

>>22222993
get a fucking schedule and stream regularly

>>22222993
Creativity streams (like art and music creation) tend to have endless value since it can be different every time. As for making Vtuber friends, I usually seek out other Vtubers with similar viewerbases to chat with on Twitch and Twitter constantly and i've retained about fifteen of them for the past few months, which means its probably working out. I gave you a follow on twitter if you're interested in making friends with someone who's somewhat new to the community.

>>22223420
thank you so much!

>>22223654
thank you! i have been interested in doing cover streams - like where i stream myself recording a cover or etc. i wonder if that would work... i'll follow you back, thank you so much for the advice!!

>>22222993
nothing in particular thats standing out as bad outside of your model just flipping the fuck out often. i think you've done your due diligence on have a ton of social medias and using most of them so thats good. i think at this point you might be at that point where you need to really find a specialty or skill that you can show off to make you stand out a bit

>>22223906
That sounds like a lot of fun honestly. I think it'd be a good idea to do so, though it might ne tough to keep singing the same song for the sake of recording a cover on stream so I suggest you keep it short and simple like a karaoke. Thanks for the follow back!

>>22223962
thank you so much. yeah i'm gonna be honest i have no idea why that happens, personally think it's kinda funny but it can get annoying fast lol. i think it might fix if i get a chair - if not then i might talk to my rigger about it. i think my specialty would be singing but i'm not super confident in it - thank you!!

out of curiosity, is missfushi's model a vroid model?
looking through some vrchat models on booth.pm and was thinking whether i can use some of them for vtubing because usually the vroid models i see other vtubers use look very low-effort and ridiculously fucking retarded

>>22224003
yeah, thank you! i have multiple things i need to record so i'll probably go for a few hours. thank you so much!

>>22222993
Dont try and make friends in this field, you'll only disappoint yourself. Most people will only associate with those that they can use to climb higher.

>>22224051
What are you using to motion capture your model? Is your room properly lit? models tend to go crazy it usually is because the tracking is lost.

>>22224704
It's my laptop webcam. I do have a ring light that I put near my bed to keep the area lit up if I think it isnt well lit..

>>22224605
I guess, but even if its fake, i don't really care... im kinda lonely ;;

>>22224801
i know this is probably a bit weird coming from 4ch of all things, anon, but let's be friends! you seem very nice and i'm constantly on the look for more friends to play with!
this is a hobby so we might as well have fun with it :)c

>>22224899
id love to be friends with you! is there somewhere we can chat more? ^^'

>>22224801
Most of the friendship circles you see are superficial and surface level. Hope you can find a handful of good people though.

>>22224948
i sent you a dm on twitter~

>>22224801
>It's my laptop webcam. I do have a ring light that I put near my bed to keep the area lit up if I think it isnt well lit..
Hmm, have you tested your model during the day? That's a good way to check if the lights are the problem. Do you move too much while streaming? if you're using vtubestudio, the webcam capturing can sometimes get wonky if you turn your head too much in any direction. I've seen vtubers investing on cheap iphones because of the motion capturing upgrade but webcam can be fine as well, you just have to be careful with moving too much.

>>22225159
I streamed during the day earlier today - I currently stream laying on my stomach, so its a bit difficult movement wise. i do have an iphone but desu i don't know if it helps much...

>>22225437
I think if you get a desk all your problems will banish.

>>22210541
>>22211132
Thanks for the encouragement, i might sound passionate, but it's probably not what will make me a successful streamer. I can't sell myself to anyone, if i don't believe in the product. I've been watching a lot more streams lately (since that's what i was criticized for and i found a couple fun peeps), and i do notice they have a lot more confidence and energy. I also think having money as a long term goal is a huge buff to motivation which i simply don't have. I don't think "just having fun" is the mindset that gets you anywhere.

Regardless, streaming like any other thing i subject myself to could help to build character and maybe despite already being in my thirties my personality could swing towards making me a more colorful person. I'll only believe in that possibility if i manage to open up a tiktok account though.

If i do give up streaming however, i can always dress up as the admiral and post jerk off videos on twitter for attention.

>>22225488
Haha, you're probably right! I need a chair too, though. Maybe in a few months I can get one ^^'

>>22225654
Worst case, get some bricks, a plank and voila! you got yourself an improv desk.

>>22215406
>>22216221
thank you precious aspfriend! maybe i was tripping because i was loopy then, it was just an off day, i'm glad that it was an okay enough stream though! the game itself was really fun and i'm having a hard time holding myself back from playing it off stream, but it was difficult for sure trying to chat and keep the actual game engaging T_T thank you for your feedback as always and giving me time out of your day!! always appreciating you aspfriend

>>22224211
Most of the Booth models for VRChat I've seen allow monetized content creation if you check the description. If it isn't mentioned try DeepL translating a message to the creator on Twitter, they're all pretty friendly and glad to answer questions.

My first stream after starting tiktok brought me out of being a 1view! I’m so happy

>>22226928
I think maybe I'm going to "fuck it" and use VPN to access tiktok(it banned my whole countrie's ip) later this month.
Hope I wont end up getting arrested.

Is there a market for chuubas who want to stream themselves learning musical instruments from scratch? I know facecam streamers do this but the magic seems to be gone with chuubas since you can't see the instrument, and it's just going to be random noise with your avatar wiggling around

>>22229051
I plan to get proper finger tracking and a guitar prop for my 3D model and then see how good it works. Alternatively i guess you could do a guitar cam but that's a little weird with the chuuba on stream.

I need to get better at guitar though...

>>22229051
why not just stream with a regular cam and not show your face?

>>22182688
>personality/always happy regardless of the situation (regardless of gender)

Being fake is a debuff

>>22229638
>Being fake is a debuff
I knew people who were genuinely always capable of seeing the bright side of something, and only really sorrowful during actual tragedies - which typically don't happen on stream.

>>22229848
I try to be like that when I stream. And in real life too, but that's a little harder. Beats being a cynic all the time. God knows I spent enough of my life being that way

>>22229638
>>22229848
It is a debuff if you're a shit actor and everyone can clearly see your act like Nyanners, but some faggots are masochists so they still watch her.
It won't be a debuff if you get to fool everyone that you're all loving and that shit, but that's not easy.

>>22229575
>I plan to get proper finger tracking and a guitar prop for my 3D model and then see how good it works
Just a heads up, this is so ridiculously hard to do that not even people who specialize in this shit do it. Finger tracking being synced with a mesh like that even with minor de-syncing or mesh movement is pretty much not a thing outside of a studio at least as far as I've seen

>>22229594
It's saxophone anon, I need to blow it and my fingers would run very close to my face, unlike guitar or piano where you can zoom the camera on your fingers.
I actually considered facecam streaming using a mask, but it's going to be a damn chore in the long run so being a chuuba is better for me

>i play at least 10 mins of a game before the stream to prevent any scuff and learn the controls
I pretend like it's a blind playthrough afterwards

I don't play games that I actually like to play so I don't ruin them for myself. I love Team Fortress 2 and I've probably spent thousands of dollars on it since 2008-9.

That's a sensible thing to do tho. Like, playing with it a little bit before so that you know everything works as expected.

>got paranoid and did this

>>22235088
yes, and if you can already attract a weeb audience they will listen to it in the false hopes of learning anything from you

Babis in bunnysuits are lewd
LEWD

Is entertainment value something you can just work on by streaming more & more? I'm terrified of even starting because I'm terrified of being shit even though I know noone will watch me anyways until I put in my reps on the "actually competent at streaming" + advertising fronts

>>22237218
Yes. My rule of thumb is that the number one thing to do to learn most creative skills is to do it; the number two thing is to see how others do it; the number three thing is to see how others react to you doing it. You should do some amount of all three, but that's the order of importance.

>>22237218
You will be shit when starting out, it's inevitable. Some people learn quick, others take a while, but not starting to stream because you're afraid it'll be bad is like being afraid of not being fluent on your first day of learning a new language

>>22237218
The best time to be shit at streaming is when youre streaming to 0-2 people anyway. Like any skill, you'll be trash at first. It's just common sense, but I understand the fear. Just have to conquer it.

Is being able to voice act on an incredibly large scale a buff or a debuff?

>>22238138
any skill is a buff if you know how to use it
in this case there's a lot you can do with your voice when half of the stream is your voice

>>22213565
>I will get completely ignored because I don't have those same numbers
I mean, you will.
So don't approach them blindly.

Let's say you're a 5CCV streamer. With minimal networking, you can be relatively confident that most people up to ~10CCV will not hate you for approaching for a collab. I won't say anyone can hit 10, but it's relatively simple to peak at 10, even without raids.

But if you're a 5CCV, I wouldn't approach someone at 20, unless you're an actual friend, or they put out a "who wants to collab" post - 20 is not something you can just hold accidentally, it requires skill, luck, or grind.

I'm a 10CCV. I regularly collab with friends who sit on pre-affilaite numbers, because we get on, and it's a fun night. Collabs can help push numbers, but it's also fun to play with friends.

At 10, I'd feel okay approaching people if they sit up to around 20, or bigger if we're friends. Approaching Nyaru, who sits on ~70, would feel beyond me - we haven't interacted much, and my numbers would be a blip to her.

Be sensible in who you approach. and, worst case, make sure they're someone you've talked to.

>>22215194
I've bought tiktok ads before, but never youtube. I don't put much effort into my youtube yet, because my video editing skills are limited, as as is my time, but it's something I'm planning on improving (in May, probably).

Probably i've been thinking about making one too but i only have the pieces Miyo drew of me and i'm already using one as a pfp

PowerNelson got some big streamers(inc. Nyaru) to collab with him when he was a 2view, so your argument doesn't hold up much. Just DM people

Glad you guys liked it. \o/ Hopefully bodysuit anon doesn't mind some of the changes.

>>22245194
Honestly, would be cute to go like a persecom/Ai girl that can change ears and other slight variations to suit the tastes of its "users" so to speak. lol

>>22247816
I don’t mind the changes at all! I especially liked the implementation of the bunny ears and the antenna/robot ears too. Among some of the others, too.
A babi persocom could be neat…

Okay but when's our Minecraft Collab?

are vod views all individual people? does it count people who've only watched one second?

>>22248191
I'm sweating rn.

>>22248640
Smh don't tell me you're calling sick on our Collab again...

>All these positive responses
Huh. From all the hate we get I'd assume it was considered a debuff.
That said I find our accents kind of shitty, so I wouldn't watch one.

>>22249030
Whose server is this?

If you can nail the British aristocrat butler vibe you're going to become an otome fan magnet

>All these wannabe Vtubers trying to stream
>Not trying something interesting, like being a review channel while keeping the Vtuber persona thing.
Just 20-30 minute videos talking about some retro game you like or something. I've never seen anyone do this, so it'd probably be unique.
I wouldn't do it, but I'm a guy and unless I was doing it for some April Fools day thing there'd be no point.

I hate my available times but there's not much I can do about it unfortunately.
at what point should I start posting in /wvt/ instead?
>>22249422
the concept of fictional characters doing reviews and video essays has been around longer than vtubing as Kizuna and Hololive have defined it

>>22249466
Niche stuff like Doom/Duke Nukem modding would be cool, I've seen channels that only look at this stuff get moderately successful to the point where the channel owner just does that for a living. Stick a hot demon girl in there doing the talking and you've probably got a good thing.

>>22249549
I've been working on stuff in this general direction, but my full-time IT job means that I can't devote enough time to make it truly competitive and that I probably won't earn enough from it to compete with my current wage.

New week, new schedules aspies. What are you all doing or planning to do?

>>22249605
Just post it, you little bitch

>>22249655
Debut.

Is there a/asp/ minecraft server btw.

>>22249655
I'm gonna ask a friend to do a propper collab tomorrow (i've dropped by his streams and played with him but i've never streamed my POV). If he for some reason says no then i'm playing Terraria

Speaking of minecraft...
What is the appeal/how to keep a mineceaft smp interesting? I feel like in minecraft there is a ton of downtime that doesn't make for an especially interesting stream. Is the appeal mainly just comfy vibes/a backdrop for just chatting?

I'm hosting a horror themed server for collabs soon and any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated.

Sim anon drew bunnysuit, I guess I’ll have to draw a different outfit or form now.

>>22249982
Be funny. Have chemistry. It's a sitcom but in Minecraft

>>22249982
If you want to mix up the game itself: Mods, plugins, TTRPG-style game master events.

>>22249655
Got four streams planned for this week. Devil May Cry tonight, Breath of Fire on Wednesday, Drowned God: Conspiracy of the Ages on Thursday (really looking forward to that one) and more Super Mario Bros. 3 on Saturday night. I'll probably beat Mario 3 on that stream and pick another random game or two to play afterwards.
I told myself I wasn't gonna bother opening up donations until somebody asked for me to do so, and that happened this weekend! So that's something. I have a donation button now.
