/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

How come there are literally zero VTuber who has a Korean Manwha webtoon art style? Nabi doesn't count.

>>3700742
are any artists doing Korean manhwa style accepting commissions for vtuber designs?

>>3700809
Good question. Perhaps they find the complexity of layering their art for Live2D too much, or no one has tried to ask them to try.

>>3700913
find one and give them a layering guide, might be easier than finding a ready to rig artist since they're either booked or expensive

How did you guys figure out what design you want for your avatar? I'm stuck on thinking of a design, even though I have a rough idea of how I want to act.
Do you just go through boorus for similar characters and just mash them all together? Maybe picrew?

>>3702515
i was thinking of an old tv show and the idea poped right into my head and i was like "HOLY SHIT HOW HAS NO ONE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS!" that and i had recently played omori which also influenced it a bit (fucking great game by the way) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJs4e2lbMmA

>>3702515
I mean I have the artist buff, but I spent a fuck ton of time on pinterest looking at either designs I liked or themes I wanted to explore and how people designed those. Though in my art style didn't fit, but it's still good to get an idea.

>>3702515
artist buff, designed something to fit my voice

>>3702515
Picrew helps more with specifics, like your haircut or face shape or something. Boorus, I've found, are mostly good for outfits. Once you've got a general idea of what you wanna be they're great, but it sounds like you don't have that yet.
Personally I came up with a concept (D&D-ass ranger) that matched my vibe/character and went trawling the Google images from there. I had an easier time than most cause I was starting from a mythological gimmick, so I had some existing interpretations to work with. You could try looking around for a booru tag that appeals to you (and matches your vibe) and go from there.

>>3702515
its just my normal internet persona but slightly altered. artist buff too

i just did a teaching stream and i wanted to ask for feedback on it here, if anyone would be willing to, since i'd like a perspective from people who both don't know anything about the topic and also know what they want to see from a streamer

such rain, terumi... please be at peace, you deserve the calm and relaxation the rain brings....

>>3702515
If you're having problems with a physical design, maybe try answering basic questions (like the ones I laid out below) to help flesh out your character conceptually.
>Where are you from?
>What was growing up like?
>Why did your persona choose chubbin of all things to do with their time?
>etc
Or, if you're at a loss for those kinds of questions you dive into emotional stuff.
>Humor type?
>Biggest Regret?
>Greatest Strength/Weakness?
>etc
There are a billion questions you can google to help you come up with a solid backstory, and once you have that the character should be practically screaming at you how to design them. Now, YOU need to know this stuff but don't go throwing your galaxy brain backstory and every squalid detail at your viewers. (Unless you intend to do some hardcore RP.)

I, for one, fell in love with a design concept from a monstergirl doujin. Over several years I ended up writing a novel-length backstory and an entire sci-fi universe that supports her existence. I've been saving up my pennies (literally) and I'll soon be throwing my hat into the vtubing.

I hope this was helpful.

>>3700683
wait a minute, this isn't /asp/...

>>3704113
hi elliott!! i've always enjoyed your streams personally, as you have quite a knack for teaching and the right temperament for it.

one thing that does put me off watching the whole thing however is the graphics. your model is great and i enjoy the blackboard aesthetic, but the purple background is almost the exact same color as your model's clothing. it really just blends you into the background. in general the layout is quite plain and doesn't hold your attention for long enough. even an animated gif like odette has on her stream would be helpful to contrast the slower content.

i'd also recommend linking a discord at the end to host 'office hours' or some kind of viewer engagement following your stream. especially since you're teaching, encouraging viewers to ask you questions off stream can probably help your retention rate and keep your community alive.

>>3700683
So /asp/ies
How do you deal with the tranny debuf?

>>3706137
By not being one

>>3706137
By shilling yourself on Twitter and not here. Trannies have a buff on Twitter

tfw no artist buff
>>3703626
Yeah, I've been using picrews to make similar faces, but digging through them for male picrews that look good is a challenge. Especially since there's too many twinks.

Thanks for the outfit advice! Filtering through danbooru for character pegs tends to lead me down hentai before finding any normal images. So maybe searching for outfits instead of characters makes sense.

>>3702805
Pinterest is super good for inspiration, I just find myself wondering if the pictures I find are a bit too much for commissions. That one looks hella beautiful tho.
>>3704542
Super helpful! The backstory part I have down, it just becomes a matter of translating the story into a unique design.

Thanks guys!

Personally I think this is no substitute for a good old shit scribble, but these are fun none the less for people who don't have a tablet.

What's a good number of streams per week to gain traction? With traction I mean going from a literal-who to someone who's around the scene.

Not necessarily a big deal but people know you when you're mentioned.

>>3706721
Not the anon who asked but Do you think there will be any problem if I do private streams/no officials streams to get used to talking while playing while having one of these on the screen?

>>3707024
In many circles picrew-avatars are a red flag. Just make a doodle and go with that.

>>3707024
I wouldn't use anything restricted in license unless you are doing this for funsies.

>>3706986
No winning formula for that imho, It's better to target a certain audience, Find people who are looking for content they can't find. Youtube and twitch are both going to fight you for it.

>>3706910
My art skills stalled in pre-k. I can't do better than a stick figure.
>>3707024
I doubt a private stream will be an issue. Make sure you don't use it for anything monetized though, picrew creators retain the license on their stuff IIRC.

>>3706274
This is a decent dude one, despite being "WIP" but essentially abandoned
https://picrew.me/image_maker/523501

>>3707141
Do a colored scribble.

>>3707043
Actually curious: How so?

>>3707856
Short answer: Picrew avatars on Twitter are the left-wing version of anime profile pictures for rightwing-accounts. If you use certain avatarmakers you are unintentionally blowing a dogwhsitle.

Pic related is the worst offender.

>>3706440
[Spoiler]For me personally, I'd never run around chuuba's, and I'd definitely never desert my oshi =)[/spoiler]

>>3708419
as an artist, I prefer a picrew to no visual reference though

starting to think I'm NGMI

>>3710973
Why?

>>3708419
I actually hated how picrew was overrun by these things. I tended to use them for inspiration/quick character creation until it got swarmed by these.
>>3706721
O shit, the first one helped me nail a starting point. Thanks my guy!

>>3709782
Oh absolutely. I am not denying the usefulness of a simple avatarmaker. It's also fun to make cute pics. Rather, I am discouraging using the image as a chuuba-avatar for streaming.

>>3710973
If you don't have a real vagina like pic related, you will never make it in this market. Sorry.

By doing your >>>/lgbt/vtg reps so people don't get filtered by the twinkhon voice.

>>3706137
I don't care as long as you give me an erection and/or make me gosling. Just have a good female chara design and a feminine voice

What hair colour should I use?
I was considering white hair with twintails but I feel like it would be better to go with something that stands out more.

>>3706137
do your voice reps. As long as it sounds like you're trying and sound decently 'passable', people won't give a shit.

>>3713228
CYMK hair would be fun and cool to see

>>3708419
>me who has been using a picrew avatar as my pfp on everything until I got my model

I go live in 20 minutes if anyone is interested. Been lurking the threads for months.

>>3713228
Have you looked into two toned or streaked hair? I really dig how it looks. It's an excellent way to make your design stand out, even if the rest is somewhat simple.

>>3713083
This is something that's been on my mind recently. I know that some people have a fetish for girls with the deeper voice. My voice is sorta in the middle (I don't sound like an average male but more androgynous). I've been trying to capitalize on that interest in my streams and a lot of people have told me it's hot.

first stream went terribly, I choked up and couldn't speak.

>>3715421
No need to an hero anon, just cool it with the flaggotry

In the process of getting my model done at the moment. I have most things planned out and ready to go...Except for what game I should play after my initial debut. I want to play something that isn't FOTM, but I also don't want to bore the shit out of everyone but myself and burn through my backlog. I made a poll with a list of games.

Which would (You) guys like to see most?
http://poal.me/bdgv83

>>3715907
Honestly, early on you want to put your best foot forward. Which of these do you enjoy and know the most about? You'd have the most to talk about, and when a streamer legitimately enjoys what they are playing a lot it shows through.

>>3704866
Thanks for that! I do suppose that it is time for an overlay overhaul; I've sort of sat on this layout for quite a bit, so I'll get to the drawing board when I have a day off and see what I can do!
As for discord, I've always been hesitant to make one when I'm not particularly big. I do always say at the end of most lessons that my DMs are open for anyone that has questions afterwards, though I suppose that has less of a community feel compared to a whole server.

Stream on Twitch if you want growth, YouTube is a JP HoloLARP meme and you will get nowhere if you don't have corporate backing to drag you out of pajeet spaghetti code algorithm hell. Dozens of talented streamers have tried their hand at being an indie on YouTube, and its led to stagnation and an eventual jump to Twitch every single time. All of HoloEN used Twitch as their streaming platform of choice in one way or another before getting signed
Don't sign up for a fucking small agency, they are the equivalent of what Networks were in the early days of YouTube and will sign you into slavery, take a massive cut of any profit you make, barely promote you and then leave you with nothing once your contract is up and they snatch the model back from you, or force you to pay out the nose for the IP after becoming emotionally attached to the character
If you sign up for a reputable agency, get your contract looked over by a lawyer who deals in contract law so you don't get completely fucked in the ass. Don't let the glitz and glitter of the "making it big" dream blind you to a bad deal

>>3716248
>flashbacks from exploitative Machinima contracts from the early 2000s abusing new and young content creators who wanted to get in on the early youtube scene

>>3715907
Get EDF5 on Steam instead.

>>3716043
Well I've completed Jak and Daxter numerous times with 100% completion, and I've also finished Ratchet and Clank a fair bit too. I haven't played the first Dead Rising, but I've played a fair bit of Dead Rising 2. The rest I haven't touched before. In terms of games I enjoy the most and know shit tons about though, it would be Dead Space 2, but I want to save that for a celebration or something so I can do a no-save hardcore run or something.
>>3716248
But anon, what if I want to focus more on video content than streaming? Wouldn't youtube be better for such a scenario?
>>3716393
Why

>>3716479
If your doing video content, do it on YouTube, but don't stream on Twitch at the same time. Stream VODs kill your algorithm versus uploading videos and clips, your essentially kneekapping your growth by streaming on the same account that you do edited uploads on

>>3716761
But stream on Twitch*

>>3716761
This is kinda sorta what I'm doing right now. Game streams on Twitch, pre-recorded non-vod videos on Youtube.

>>3716761
I didn't know that, thanks anon I'll look into it a bit more. I assumed using both platforms would just be troublesome for viewers, as opposed to having everything in the one place. Are there tools or sources you use to get this info, or is it just speculation based on the successes of others?

Also would streaming on twitch kill any chance of an overseas audience? I'm hoping to make a mark on the JP audience, and it doesn't seem like they're based entirely on twitch. I suppose using translated youtube clips with a more favourable algorithm could make up for that though.

>>3716761
>>3717190
the easiest solution to this I'd think is have a separate YouTube account for clips and prerecorded content, and another for vods
It's too late for me; I have everything mixed together but I also don't particularly care and also I kind of need specific vods to exist in full anyway

>>3717190
This is anecdotal from the last 6 months of watching the indies from /wvt/ grow, but if you ask most of them they can back up the claims.
You should also completely give up on your idea of gaining any traction in the JP market. They do not care about western streamers for the most part, and their market is more saturated than ours is with options for who to watch. I have seen indies lean into trying to pander to JPs with "learning Japanese" streams and other similar pandering, and it winds up being hours upon hours of effort put in for the return of one or two JP chatters showing up if you are lucky, and then never coming back after the one or two streams. On top of that JP pandering is a debuff for your English speaking audience, so you depress your numbers for no gain

I just released two new videos! I hope everyone enjoys them, and I appreciate any and all feedback!

>This is anecdotal from the last 6 months of watching the indies from /wvt/ grow, but if you ask most of them they can back up the claims.
That's fair enough. Was just wondering since you seemed to know a lot of info. Even if it is baseless speculation, it's still useful in some way.
>You should also completely give up on your idea of gaining any traction in the JP market.
Not sure If I can do that desu. Part of the reason I want to become a Vtuber is to make friends and to talk about games with people from all over the world. Lots of games I like are made in Japan, so the idea of getting overseas viewers' feelings on certain games sounds really appealing to me, even if it is going to bite me in the ass numbers wise.

Also speaking of games, it seems like my choice of debut games isn't very popular. Might have to do some brainstorming for other things to play, but thanks for the feedback and help anons.

>>3718384
do you speak japanese?

>>3718455
Not that guy, but does it make YT more viable if you do

>>3718956
No, because you wouldn't even show up in Recommended or Similar channels. You're not going to get the JP audience. That's not how the algorithm works.

>>3715223
Link it and I will mention something that went well.
Are you that wrestler?

>>3721099
I only noticed the name now, sorry for making you repeat yourself.

>I don't sound like an average male but more androgynous
Are the people who told you that cis? Or fans?
Going through random clips of your Tak 2 video, you sound like a dude.

I feel the need to point this out because I disagree with it vehemently. I'm also transphobic but that only explains my Schadenfreude. It doesn't take away from the point.

>>3720435
Are you planning on doing streams before a debut? Tomakeys (monkey) is doing this and its working out for her, it will give you a feel of how streaming is before you actually start. It will get rid of those worries that you won't be able to entertain your chat, because you definitely can.
New layout looks good and congratulations on getting your model commission.

>>3721472
Not this anon but I want to add to this: You can also find out your own niche and type of content you want to make.

In your test recording you mentioned being uncertain about what you want to do, talent and all. That would be a good way to find out. If the game audio gets a bit louder you're pretty goo to go.

>>3700683

yes, probably after i get my model! i plan to just stick with recordings for now and then do some streaming for a month or two before actually planning a debut. thank you for the advice and the encouraging words btw, means a lot :,}
>>3721638
i'm not sure what kind of content i could do that would make me stand out though. i was thinking fishing streams, wood carving, or book club stuff, but i don't know if that will fare well. but i'll test different things out and see if i can make something out of nothing. thank you for the input! i'll definitely bump up the game audio next time as well
>>3721146
looking forward to it. ganbare!!!! :D

Should I save games for when I actually stream? There are a lot of games I want to play but I'm wondering if I should wait to stream them instead of playing them on my own.

>>3722725
Yes
I'm so fucking tempted to just crack open my backlog but I'm still waiting for my model and I'm not going to touch any of it until I get it

>>3722725
I honestly recommend only streaming games you've played before when you start out. It helps with planning out content

Posting for a friend. Does this concept art look too bland? Not the official one she's going with but she recently got enough funds to commission a model

Posted my design last night, just wanted to do a Vocaroo check. https://voca.ro/18lp75h593Gg

>>3726940
Do you fry your vocals? Try not to hurt them too much. Otherwise, good combo. Fits.
Play roguelikes & Dwarf Fortress.

>>3726802
imo super cute...

>>3726940
you got the chill voice your going for.

>>3727026
The fry part isn't really intentional, I just sound like that because I'm perpetually exhausted. I've gotten that comment a few times from my irl friends as well. Thanks for the suggestions.
>>3727152

I somehow managed to reach affiliate status. I want to throw a soft debut/affiliate celebration/costume reveal party for it on stream but I'm worried about no one showing up (I barely got it with like 51 followers just recently and barely maintaining 3.7~ viewers thanks to one friend helping me on the slow times). Any tips how to help generate some hype for it? It makes me so nervous thinking about doing it

>>3727743
no clue, but maybe you could reach out to some of the chuubas from /wvt/ who've done events like that? Meat and Shimada Tiger and Yozora recently did some big events.

>>3727852
Not that I'm saying that's bad advice, but didn't they have a bit of a following before that? I'm single view number streamer so I'm worried that I don't really have the hype going enough for such a thing

Don't groomed by /wvt/! They are grooming a chuuba into doing video calls. Don't let it happen to you!

>>3727932
Meat didn't really "debut" she just started making content and grew big enough that she decided to throw a proper "debut" stream. same with Tiger. but both did a lot of networking outside of their streams.

>>3728004
I guess I could hold off a debut thing until I have proper steadyish stream numbers. I just think they look fun but I could hold off on it for a few months or so

Requesting a quick feedback on the overlay for manga-reading. Video here for an example in motion: https://files.catbox.moe/xodjoy.mp4

does your program allow for two pages to fill up the screen? if not, i'd rather just see it get centered with some art around the side. cute ghost charm animation.

>>3728708
how about this anon

>>3728725
me too, coco, me too...

>>3727401
it looks so cool!
may i use it as a reference for the finished design?

>>3727401
Anon this is SO cute. The extra stuff adds a lot.
I’m not sure about the drippy eye part, but that’s just personal preference. It might look good on a moving model

>>3728875
It does but the image quality was reduced to make it almost unreadable on screen.
Pic related is an attempt at your vision with a background.

>>3728961
This is fabulous, anon, thank you very much. I like the comfiness of the desk. It has a nostalgic bent to it. I don't know if I can implement it until the stream unfortunately but in the long run this would be ideal.

>>3729392
that's pretty comfy. enough space for your tweets/chat too

Since other anons are asking for feedback, how does my character look? She's supposed to be a half-demon.

>>3729932
I like it looks good and cute anon even if its a little boring looking imo

>>3729932
cute and comfy. make the tail stick up so it wiggles behind you when you get your live2d model.

>>3729932
I like the choker and zettai ryouiki. Hoodi e looks comfy, but you could add a little more flare to your design

>>3729932
I think having a zippy hoodie so you can see more of her outfit but still look casual would be nice.
I think the hoodie is a little too plain.

>>3729932
I don't like the hoodie. They're the McDonalds of chardesign.

>>3729932
Hoodie is really nice in my opinion

>>3729932
>it's just a dude in a hoodie
is a common /wvt/ meme
she has a cute face and hair but maybe you could spice up the outfit more?

what's the over under on using emulators? is that the thing on twitch or would you get shut down for it?

>>3729932
>hoodie

>>3730639
Nintendo might get mad if you're big enough.

>>3730639
i know some people that use emulators openly, but if a big twitch streamer did it they'd probably get bonked.
generally so long as you're not big enough to attract attention it should be fine.

>>3730639
just dont say your using an emulator out loud a lot
I have seen many streams use them even bigger ones

>>3730639
Emulators tend to be a grey area. That's why most people are saying you can use them, just keep tight lipped about it or you make twitch nervous. So long as they get deniability it's cool tho.

>>3729932
I would drop the hoodie or add more to it so its just not a simple black one

>>3730746
>>3731544
>>3730815
>>3731614
thanks for the feedback anons

>>3729932
How about a loose button up sweater instead of a hoodie?

My english is bad, I don't know how to describe all the personality treats/looks that I want for a character's design. I mostly want my character to be something similar to aru from blue archive. I'm not sure if I used the right word or deepl on skeb fucked it up, but I used "apathetic, sinister" and the character was designed as having a "lazy" personality

>>3732754
I dont know, that's looking pretty smug to me.

>>3732754
apathetic/sinister doesn't really go with lazy I think

>>3732953
>>3732981
anon wanted a more smug character like their pic, but the description "apathetic" was translated to "lazy" and their skeb artist drew a lazy character instead.
is what that anon is saying.

>>3729932
Get rid of the hoodie and make it a high class dress instead.

>>3732953
>>3732981
pretty much what >>3733020 said. I guess smug was the word I should've used, no biggie

>>3733134
ah yeah, apathetic and sinister don't really fit together. Something like smug/sinister/menacing woulda fit more

Is this design too boring? What can I do to improve it? (I'm aware the creases look bad. Colors for the clothes on the right not final and I'm not even sure I can even implement them on the actual model right now)

>>3733272
kinda, there's not much going on anywhere. might want to add some doodads and flair that fit your aesthetic.

>>3733272
What’re you going to be streaming anon? This is a fine base model design for you to add things to.
It doesn’t really have any personality right now though.

>>3733272
The clothes are way too plain. Do you have some sort of theme or is there any kind of look you're aiming for?

>>3733272
The gloves and socks feel out of place imo. Have her clothes have more details to it (maybe a small pocket on the jacket with a cute pin?) a cute design on the shirt? just throwing ideas.

>>3733272
Reminds me of Athena Bambina

>>3733305
>might want to add some doodads and flair
Like accessories or logos?
>>3733436
For games I'll be streaming stuff like horror, FPS, platformers and adventure games
I also wanna do karaoke streams, and later when I actually get an audience I wanna try making a small game with input from viewers
>>3733465
>Do you have some sort of theme
A pepper shaker/peppercorn in general. Also a cyborg but that idea kinda came later so it's not really reflected in the design
>>3733506
I kinda like the gloves though. I was thinking about adding earrings but wasn't sure how much that would add to the design.

>>3715907
JRPG as a debut game? Are you a madman?

>>3733903
If you'd really like some advice while keeping the grey-black-white design going on, I'd tell you to look at Oozora Subaru's first and second costumes. Her first is very bright and colorful, but lacks an overall centerpiece to draw attention. Her second is very grey, but has some gold accessories and highlights, what's more, her eyes act as the most colorful part of the costume which draws attention towards her face. Where she had too much color in her first, you have a similar problem of too little color. I'd say to make the bulk of it a dark greyish color, while adding blackish and whitish pieces here and there (almost like bits of actual salt and actual pepper maybe?). Try to find a kind of centerpiece for the outfit as well.

>>3734425
Not that anon, but I can only think of a single viable options for a JRPG in the beginning and this would be Pokemon. Everyone knows it and understands how it works, also the turn-based battles give enough opportunities to interact with the audience/chat. At best some kind of challenge playthrough or a ROM hack. Perhaps this one as an example, its full of changes and surprises https://pokefoolsgold.tumblr.com/download

>>3733272
sorry anon, this is really plain. if anything i'd add a hat that is white or cream, not grey. if you're feeling more comfortable with vroid studio and can design some better clothes you definitely should

>>3729053
yeah thats fine, id be honored if you did!
>>3729110
thanks so much!! im really glad you like it

>>3733272
Focus on having a good silhouette, and communicate something to your audience through your design. Right now, your silhouette is "unity asset store anime girl", and the only thing I'm "hearing" from your design is white noise. I feel like some subtle texturing and detailing could improve this drastically.

I wish more people tried more simplistic designs like Pikamee. I would absolutely love a chuuba with a Panty & Stocking inspired design/style for example

>>3738110
Mine is pretty simple but sometimes I'm afraid it feels too much like a mix of south park and animal crossing

>>3738110
maybe if i make it big enough to have an april fool's model like those HoloEN walfie ones

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to incorporate all the recommendations into the final rig.

Is a Copyright Claim/Audio Muting done wholesale or could I potentially play vidya music in the back?

>>3751760
on youtube, depends on what the penalty the copyright owner has set (kill your video, monetize it for themselves against your will, leave it (but collect all traffic analysis data)). it's usually one of the first two.

on twitch, their system will just mute segments of your vod.

What would you charge if a VTubing 'company' approached you to rig a model for their talents? x1.5? x2? They don't really have much of a background but my hands are free.

>>3751943
I thought Twitch ramped up their system recently. I remember some big names getting autobanned by some new system. Did they revert that?

>>3754001
according to their own released statements, doesn't seem like it was intentional as the DMCA bans and vod deletions were more excessive than they expected (but they've also not doing anything about it, so who knows)

>>3751760
Just do what I do: Trawl through old accounts on various websites and use whatever you like from accounts that haven't posted in 5+ years. I call it IP graverobbing since dead men can't DMCA you.

Copyright laws only protect the huge corps, so if you rob the poor and small you're fine.

Would it be worth it to post my next videos in /wvt/ or would it not be worth the trouble?

>>3756434
they're mostly looking for live chuubas unless asking for clips, so just drop a link when you go live i guess.

>>3756489
Good call. I'll keep it in mind

I've got a big relaunch coming up so they might like that

If an artist you commission on Skeb raises their prices, is it proper manners to pay them the new price? I feel a little bad for putting in a request when they just got started on Skeb, so I don't want to feel like I'm taking advantage of them.

>>3733272
I think Alisa from God Eater would be a good reference to what you might want to add to that outfit
Also do any artist debuffs have a good recommendation for drawing out the concept art for a character, been formulating everything, but I really want to put an image to the idea

>>3759713
I'm lost. With Skeb you place the order, set your price, and then the artist either accepts or rejects your offer. If the artist already accepted your offer then you don't have a way to pay more, and if they haven't accepted it and it's below an amount they want to work for they'll just reject it.

wtf prism viewed my audition again a few days ago. They can't still be looking can they?

>>3700742
imagine solo leveling or nobleesse art style, that would be dope af

>>3760661
There is an option to "Boost" your commission with some extra money (after you receive the finalized artwork) if you want to add a tip of sorts to the commission. I was wondering if it would be in good taste to 'boost' the additional fee dollars to meet my artist's new Skeb price.

>>3726940
play what you like, Apex is good to have at least some of even if people on 4chan hate it because it'll keep some attention in the normalfag zone
on another note your voice is hot, when people say I have a nice voice I refer them to people like you to prove them so wrong

Opinion on the inclusion of kayfabe?
I want to be a regular streamer who can relate to the people in chat and talk about things in my everyday life and also want lore to use for creative content, doing certain streams heavily in character.
Kind of wish I could do both, do you think it's a bad idea to sometimes only loosely follow my lore and other times heavily rely on it or would that break immersion too much?

>>3762977
Mix things up. Spin events that happened to you as something in your kayfabe.

>>3762977
Check out Calli. Maintains kayfabe 100% of the time. Makes it believable 0% of the time. Everyone plays along

>>3763061
deadbeat Calli?

>>3733272
feels like an npc

>>3763041
I used to do that but it felt like it was putting unnecessary distance between myself and my chat.
I primarily watched livestreamers more than I did vtubers before I started, though I watch a mix of both now.
>>3763061
I used to watch a bunch of Mori but ended up preferring someone who resembled more of a traditional streamer in Ame, that's more what I'd like to aim for I think. Though I feel like I don't keep up my own kayfabe even as much as Ame does.

>>3735379

okay boomer. Why don't you take a nap on your nice rocking chair while you let the adults do the real talking.

>>3706440
>>3706137
If you want to be a more successful chuba you should not be loyal to those who would never lift a finger for you, and in fact actively hate you, maybe not this thread, but definitely this board. There's pandering, which you may find distasteful.
This is the opposite.
>>3721099
I didn't actually get the impression that you were attempting to sound feminine in these videos. If you put effort into it and train as you're saying, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do it however.
>>3726940
Matches well enough, your voice is slightly more gravelly than I would expect from the character. Maybe some touch to the character could reflect this? Like Spike Spiegel's dub is gravelly, but he also looks a little more rough than your guy does in most cases.

>>3762371
Ah, wouldn't know cause I'm on day 48 of waiting aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
>>3762977
As others have said, you can just spin your dance classes or whatever as scythe swinging lessons and nobody's gonna care.
If you really really care about your lore, though, you could come up with a character that's not incongruous with doing normal things. So maybe you disguise yourself as a human or whatever. (This is basically what Watson does)
I'm also told that some popular facecam streamers do "lore streams" where they tell stories. I've never seen one but you could look into it. I think that's more akin to the "clean break between in-character streams and out-of-character streams" thing you mentioned.

>>3761813
I'd just take it as a sign t hat you still have a chance and not think to deeply about it, may be that they don't have a concrete quota to fill or any number of other possible reasons.

Is it considered inappropiate to read a VN with yuri-elements? I was thinking of reading Expression Amrilato and then subsequently jumping into an Esperanto-learning format.

>spend a month and a half designing my own v-tuber avatar, rigging it, doing rehearsal and working on my voice
>it's all ready and I can start streaming
>suddenly feel anxious and procastinate my debut

>>3764732
you'll "debut" to one viewer and quit forever just like the others

>>3764940
thanks now I want to prove you wrong and feel more secure

>>3764491
Unless your audience is against yuri I don't think it should be a problem

>>3765037
Oh I don't think there's anyone against but it's rather that I'm male.

>>3726940
Actually saw your shill on wvt. You may have fixed it in middle, but your volume was pretty low compared to the gameplay on your last vod btw. You've got a really soft voice so be careful about how you balance your audio especially games like hades and apex where the combat gets loud.

>>3764732
>>3764940
I'm going to assume they're nicer then they actually are and they mean "If you get anxious about your debut, don't, because a lot of people probably won't show up unless you've been really networking. So take it as a practice run and continue."

>>3765375
I'm curious about the networking part, am I supposed to make a twitter account and start shilling myself before the debut?

>>3726940
your voice does not match that pretty boy in the pic BUT it's a really good voice so nobody will bitch about it because it's the kind of voice that makes people gay

>>3738110
If you want a chibi in that same style, there's always Nova. She opened up very recently.

https://twitter.com/NovaSanguis/status/1393767909701210114

>>3765517
I mean yeah, if you want anyone to actually show up to your debut. No one will show up if they don't know you exist. Don't take it from me though, I'm not doing a proper debut and just streaming already. But I followed the advice earlier of following other vtubers in your range of followers and interacting with them and I've made some friends, so when I do get a model reveal I think I'll get some support at least.

>>3765517
Start streaming with a basic doodle, get to know a few people then announce the debut.

>>3765517
absolutely lmao. What's the point of a debut if no one knows you exist and nobody is excited about it. There's basically two 'successful' camps when it comes to debut:
- Shitload of networking on twitter reddit, any site where you think you can shill yourself. Talk to other VTubers, get an audience and boom, finally have your debut.
- Start streaming without a debut. In this case, you should still be doing your networking reps, but you can be a bit more lax about it. Produce content, share clips, create engagement, and once you feel like you have a decent enough audience you can "Properly" debut.
If you're not doing either of those things, your debut is going to fail. No questions asked. Not that doing those things means necessarily you're going to have a good debut, but they definitely help.

>>3765780
>>3766120
>>3766563
thanks for the kind advice famalams

I have an awful echo in my room. Whats the best way to mitigate that? I don't know anything about soundproofing

>>3763448
>If you want to be a more successful chuba you should not be loyal to those who would never lift a finger for you, and in fact actively hate you, maybe not this thread, but definitely this board.
Dunno how nu you are but I've been on this site longer than probably 95% of the userbase if not more. I hope to become a huge hit, but like Coco telling west Taiwan to fuck off I'm never going to waver in my loyalties to true friends, whether my reception is warm or cold.

>>3762977
My approach is that there's lore and magical shit about why I am here, on earth, streaming, but while I'm here I'm just a normal human. Lets me talk about normal relatable stuff, while still having lore to fall back on.

>>3763448
I'm sorta in a weird spot because I honestly do a lot of different voices. My normal speaking tone is what you heard in the video but other times I'm more feminine for comedic effect and then other times I go super deep because it sounds cool. I'm also capitalizing on people having a fetish for the contrast between my looks and my voice (I know they exist because they're in my chat lmao)

more vtubing Q&A
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1uhJrwG1B8

>>3763061
Check out Higanbana Posy

so one thing i've been curious about. do you guys tell your friends that you're a vtuber or do you keep it secret? if you keep it secret does it burn in you to keep it secret? or... do you now have friends?

>>3770841
I've made reference that I'm working on a proper streaming venture and one of them (that watches my 'normal' streams when I do them) joked that I'm starting vtubing so I doubt they'd be surprised especially since I'm the "weebshit friend" who already talks about vtubers a bunch. I'll tell that guy once I get started so he can give feedback. Other than that, one online friend I mod with is in on it and has been helping me. Other than them I haven't told anyone specifics, and probably wont ever.

>>3770841
I'll tell my friends when I made it somewhat big (20 or so average) which is far off.
I'll tell my family if I get partnered.

>>3770841
the people in my house know (wife/brother/housemate) and i've told some close friends that know about vtubing, but for the most part no

>>3762698
Unfortunately for Apex, I've got the curse of losing all my ability to aim when I stream. But I guess that just comes with more practice, right? And thanks for the compliment. I think everyone's got a good voice for them as long they make it the best 'their' voice, you know?
>>3763448
Yeah, I asked my artist to render something a bit more older, college-aged, and this is what I got. Thankfully it's just a png right now, and not a fully rendered and rigged Live2D. I'll keep it in mind when if I decide to make the transition over to a proper model.
>>3765331
Yeah, the scuff was mostly because I didn't bother to do much pre-stream checking. Had been drinking a bit and was expecting to hang out with some friends, but none showed. And I had stuff (mostly) set up anyway, so I decided to just go for it with a new game.
>>3765558
Haha, thanks anon.

Thanks for all the feedback anons. I'm gonna go set up a proper pre-streaming checklist so I don't run into audio issues like that again.

>>3771952
>>3771544
>>3771164

thats good. I've been wondering about other people just starting out. I have told some of my closer friends on discord so I won't be a 2 viewer but I can't rely on them alone. even if my test streams are bad or whatever i'll keep working on my stuff to make them proud so I won't be shilled and they only thing they have to say is I am nice.

https://twitter.com/DoKomi/status/1393964791023german twitch team is looking for people to join them. I can't read german but they're open to accepting vtubers, gamers, artists who stream at least once a week.

ugh, fuck it. this is why i need coffee in the mornings.

is there a market for vtubers in germany? there is a lot of ENVtubers already so maybe streaming in german (not native speaker, but somewhat fluent) will help me grow better?

>>3774069
can't hurt. especially if you're knowledgeable about their culture and are current with their memes. i've been seeing other vtubers start expanding out to spanish and russian duolingo stuff as well, so i'd guess it'd be as successful if you tried it with german.

>>3772985
>>3772955
>>3772737
Speaking german, I can provide a quick rundown. It gives me a weird vibe.
The first benefit is special announcments in their community Discord (makes sense, over 4k members). Their second benefit is a reserved seat at Meet & Greet tables (why would a chuuba send their roommate to cons?). The third one mentions that you get to work together with them (duh) and has tons of spelling errors.

This is super weird because it doesn't mention any requirements other than "stream at least once a week". No mention of what kind of work you're expected to collaborate on. No sort of stuff about language or games.

>>3774069
There is one technically but you don't want the german audience. Of all fancommunities I've seen germans are the worst cesspool and completly unhinged. If there's a random point they don't like about you they'll do their best to run your life.
You can look up that german corpo-chuuba cavewoman. See her chat for the audience you're gonna get.

>>3774141
Looking forward to Esperanto-chuubas.

>>3774141
wait are you telling me that streaming in english actually shrinks your audience pool now? wtf

>>3774230
doesn't necessarily shrink, it's just pretty saturated with envtubers constantly debuting every day

>>3774266
fascinating, maybe I should go full pasta in my own country

>>3774398
I mean, if you speak more than one language that's more audiences you have access too. No reason not to try for them as well.

>>3774398
any new hook to pull in viewers helps, good luck anon.

Italian weebs are either Jeeg Robot D'acciaio oldfags or baby zoomers that only watched L'attacco Dei Giganti, doubt Italian audience has any pull, also you bteter be good at Fortnite, FIFA and Rainbow Six, only games Italians watch and play, good luck trying to beat out Pow3r tho

Offtopic question to the pizzapasta in this thread: Why is Lupin III such a big deal in Italy? Feels like everytime I go south of Verona I see a bunch of art or plushies or posters of Lupin and his cohorts.

>>3774708
We like Lupin a lot, it's been a staple in italian tv for children for a long time with a catchy opening and it wasn't as gory as Fist of the North Star and not as ambiguous as Lady Oscar.

>>3774708
They played it on TV during the 80/90s and got into pop culture thanks to that, its like Dragon Ball in LATAM, theres other examples in italy like Super Robot shows by Go Nagai, Fist of the North Star, The Roses of Versailles

>>3774227
>Esperanto
Man, if there's one language I'd like to learn if I ever become a Vtuber, it's this. I love how post-modernistically useless it is outside of one game I love, which teaches you the basics of it anyway.

>>3774870
Amikego!

It's also an intellectual exercise. I'm convinced now. I'll start this summer and play Amrilato earlier.

>>3774708
>south of verona

are you kidding me? I AM from Verona lmao!
btw lupin is a fucking icon here, the entire nation was basically raised watching his cartoons, that goes for several generations in a row, between baby boomers and millennials there is no one who doesn't know Lupin now, so much so that when they needed to premiere the new movie we got the exclusive first screening

>>3720435
This lobster is too cute. I wanna hold her hand.

How do I kill my DIY syndrome? I can't actually draw to save my life, yet I'm also too uncomfortable/anxious/nervous with asking someone else to draw/design an avatar.

>>3776386
just start png tubing as a scribble

>>3702515
I just did the first thing that came to mind. My ideas are always excellent and correct, so I knew it was the right thing to do.

>>3776386
You can buy pre-made avatars.

>>3777328
This is what I did. I found a model for visual novel sprites like pic related. It's pretty easy to find a few that have commercial licenses okay after purchase since they're intended to be used in visual novels, dating games, apps, etc. The model I bought was just $7 after converting from USD to YEN.

Later found out that my artist was also accepting requests on Skeb, so I commissioned a custom piece from her.

Examples https://booth.pm/en/search/%E7%AB%8B%E3%81%A1%E7%B5%B5

Would it piss off an artist if I ask one to draw a character fitting my voice?

>>3777507
In my experience, artists will want some kind of a reference for your character. I've seen some charge extra if you just give a written description and nothing else. So including your voice along with other references might be the best way to go. Voice also helps establish proper neck phrenology.

>>3777507
At least give him a theme, please.

>>3777565
>>3777597
Oh yeah that's for sure, I was wondering if artists didn't like it if you gave them too much information if that makes sense

>>3777618
nah, the more specific the better usually

To stream or not the process of the pre-recorded content (art stream making of assets) as a total newbie ?
Also, should I livestream on Youtube where I will upload said pre-recorded content
or is it better to only stream on Twitch so to not mess up the "YT Algorithm" for the final rendered videos ?

>>3777923
Stream it, then upload a sped up timelapse version of it on Youtube.

Redpill me on that average 3-viewer rule. Can one stream with low numbers fuck you up badly? Is there a specific timeframe of streams counted or is it all of them?

t. male 2 views.

>>3778270
I'm not sure what you're talking about, anon.

>>3777047
That's cute, hope I can scribble something cute enough, that could work for a start (and certainly easier to make videos with).

>>3777328
Didn't think about that, thanks for the idea, maybe one way to go would be to buy one of those and customizing it to the extent my meager PS/Clip skills allow...

I have a bunch of designs I’d like to try and sell as VTuber avatars. Where should I do it? Twitter seems a place most people already have their characters

>>3778306
Gaining affiliate requires 50 followers, a certain number of hours streamed, different days streamed and finally 3 average viewers. How does the last one work?

>>3777923
I think the rule of thumb is to avoid streaming and uploading videos on the same Youtube channel, as streams tend to adversely affect the algorithm. My guess is that Youtube is looking at the engagement rate (how much of the video was watched by the viewers) and for streams it's always low since people hop on and off.

>>3778365
There are plenty of people using placeholder images and anime profile pics who are looking for models and art. You could also market them under the hashtag "adoptables" as that's been pretty popular recently. They're basically character designs that people auction off to buyers.

>>3778391
oh, not a clue on how they measure that.

>>3777964
That's a good idea, to upload a timelapse instead

>>3778454
Thank you, this is exactly what I wanted to know

>>3767201
buy foam and put it on your walls. They make foam especially for this, it will have ridges and grooves cut into it to increase its surface area and thus sound diffusion. If you want to try it without a budget, move some blankets, rugs, curtains, anything soft into your room and cover as much of the hard surfaces as you can.

tried messing around with eq settings on my mic, didn't know what i was doing and everything sounded like crap. just sticking with the default and it seems fine. is there a particular sound that i should be going for?

>>3778391
it's not too hard to ask a few of your friends to watch one or two streams right? the 3 average viewers is generally rounded down so yeah bad streams can fuck you up

I'm making my goblin a chibi some what panty and stocking style
I know vtubing is mostly a weeb market but i feel like people should try other styles for their model and not just highly detailed clean anime style.

>>3782512
That's why i went with the artist i did. More stylized, so I'd stick out a bit more.

>>3782266
well you better get out there and network then, because if you want to be a vtuber unfortunatley for you, "friends" are vital. if you cant even get to the 3 viewer average then you're likely not cut out for vtubing

>>3782512
I'm a huge weeb so I'm sticking to the anime style but this artist has a pretty unique artstyle for those of you that are into that
https://twitter.com/adrhaze

>>3783106
>going for "friends" instead of friends
ngmi
people can sense cloutchasng and false intentions from a mile away

grow a following before you start networking. nobody wants to network with a nobody with 60 followers because in the end of the day everyone wants to grow and you have nothing to offer.
I was completely ignored by other envtubers when I first started on twitter, but once I built a big following in other communities they started flocking to me like a fly flocks to light.

>>3783107
Those models look really nice but every time I see the prices on a Live2D I get more and more 3D model-pilled. Even the really nice 3D modelers I've seen are saying they're around 1.5k.

any concept artists open to work?

>>3783246
you're right, i shouldn't have phrased it like that. but you still need social skills to work as a vtuber. not making the average of 3 viewers is not really a sign of your content, it just means nobody knows you.
and if you dont have 3 friends to help you out thats a big problem, you should be going into other small streamer's streams and interacting, it doesnt have to be like a clout chaser. do your best anon

i'm not too sure how to explain this, but what is the furthest angle you should have rigged in live2d? 45 degrees, which is like a 3/4 face deform, or less or.. more? what is your guys' opinion?

i looked at the artist above and it looks like this particular model is reaching juuuust under a 3/4 face reference
https://twitter.com/adrhaze/status/1387396233443086340

that looks like it should be the maximum, really

You're guaranteed to get bad advice from schizos if you post publicly here

>>3784535
it's pretty easy to filter out bad advice, anon. also, i'm just lazy as shit for a discord.

>>3784316
it's possible to do full side angles like this
https://nizima.com/item/detailitem/16046
but most live2d riggers cant do this, or will charge you a lot more because it requires actual skill.
if the live2d rigger you're looking at cant even do what you linked, i wouldnt bother with them. its not that hard and most vtubers dont know good rigging when they see it

>>3784535
There's already an /auds/ secret discord

>>3784607
god damn. $2k, but that quality might actually be worth it. shame the design's kinda weak compared to the rigging.

>>3784535
I don't even use discord anon.

>>3784607
anon, the thing skilled riggers cost thousands of dollars. And most people here on 4chan are poor third-worlders and don't have that kinda cash. Besides, why do you even need that much range of motion? Unless you have a shit load of disposable income, you shouldn't be spending that much on what amounts to a hobby

Okay so I've made a twitter and a twitch account. I have a model and set up my obs. What steps would you guys recommend doing next besides shilling in wvt?

Is it legally okay to use an outfit that's very similar to the outfit a character uses?
I know Hoshino Charlotte is based off of a Char motif but how far can you go with that legally assuming it's not something full body like a Spartan from Halo?
Could I for example just take the design of Shinji's suit in Evangelion and be fine with using that?
I don't plan to use Shinji in particular but I figured it would be good to know how closely you can get with things like that.

>>3784865
don't shill on /wvt/ unless you're based

>>3784722
you're not wrong, but if you're looking into buying a $100~200 rig with bad motion, you're better off downloading live2d yourself and learning the basics. you will get the same result for free

>>3784927
How will I know if I'm based or not if I've never tried anon

>>3784638
Is it secret? It gets posted every few threads

>>3784919
You can probably get away with an EVA-inspired bodysuit just fine.

>>3784973
Seems like it.

>>3784316
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saahqCtzFgk "Live 2D Head Rotation"

There are example of such achievements :
https://twitter.com/himono_vtuber/status/1326443571570827266
https://twitter.com/zakurobento/status/1338121906164170764?s=20

I suggest you however to not bother with this angle range, because when you stream you aren't going to look at your sides that much (or at all)

Either get a full body with the Head able to rotate on Angle X to 3/4
Or if you really want 4/4 range lateral view, to only do a bust

I say this as a self-made model, it's both maddening for the rigger and gonna be pricey for you

If your viewer(s) are another vtuber they do not count.

>>3784865
you better have been doing your social media reps anon

>>3785140
Not sure what that means? follow and lurk in other chats?

>>3784973
It feels like a secret when I miss the invite every time

>>3785856
your vibes arent right

>>3785161
- Tread through the #VTubers Hashtags
- Participate in PNG shares (This part sucks)
- Follow trends (This part really sucks. Deal with it)
- Follow VTubers of similar size
- Comment on their posts (Don't comment on every post, but try to organically grow closer)
- Get other VTuber's stream chats
- Don't just lurk. Actively comment. (The goal isn't for you to actively hog up the comment box. But you should try and participate as much as you're able. IMPORTANT: Make sure not to make it about you. At the end of the day it's the other VTuber's channel. All you want to do is get your name out there naturally).
- POST. CONTENT. It doesn't literally have to be streams. But making memes, creating mini-videos, making art, posting funnies, etc. to have your followers engaged is key. You should be ideally tweeting something every day.
There's probably more stuff I'm forgetting but this should get you started. Networking is fucking annoying as hell, especially for shy friendless losers like us. But they're incredibly important for your success.

>longer than probably 95%

I feel that this detracts from your point. If most of the site is newer than you and apparently you feel more connection to the old essence rather than the new (enough to take pride in it and mention it) then the current incarnation of this site doesn't necessarily represent your "true friends" (only the name remains), and how could they be your "true friends" if you ever expect your reception to be cold? Isn't that too sad? That can't be what friends are, much less "true" friends. Just because you've spent the most time with them it doesn't mean you're stuck with people who treat you like shit, you must realize that's just sunk costs.
If history is even relevant at all, because what I said applies to both old and new 4chan. If you don't mind it, very well. Just something to consider. And I think I'm about as old as that thread.
>>3784947
The original meaning of based is relevant here, it means you're so fucked up on crack that you don't give a shit what people think. So basically be ready for /wvt/ to shit all over you.
>>3785119
What if every vtuber in existence watches, but nobody else?

>>3784973

if its not in the OP its a secret discord
get rid of it before it becomes Velcord 2

>>3786198
> then the current incarnation of this site doesn't necessarily represent your "true friends" (only the name remains), and how could they be your "true friends" if you ever expect your reception to be cold?
I feel like the explanation for your question is so obvious that I'm not sure if you actually don't know it and are trying to gaslight me or not.

Look, it's obvious if you go ANYWHERE that's not here, you cant say even half of what anyone wants to say. How is anyone to know I'm from here or really care and are not just larping? Even Ame had to use plausible deniability to retain her role at holoEN. Just because I'm from here, care about the site, and continue to use it, doesn't mean the average fan here will necessarily give me the amount of time I need to convince them, even if they'd never notice I me in a board.

I feel like you have a completely parasitical attitude towards the site though to be honest. I don't blame you for having it but it's hard to describe it any other way. When newfags come in and start shitting up the place, the only way you get them to stop is by being a present and responsible example of what the site is and represents. It's like children. they're annoying, they're loud, they scream, and they shit things up, but eventually they learn. I did the same, and others did so after me. If your attitude towards passing that torch is
>everyone fucked it up, don't bother just use it and then leave when it stops being useful.
We wont agree on much of anything anyway. This site is my home on the internet, I'm well aware of the disadvantages, the anthithetical mods, the shilling and discord raids, and the blowback from years of overt LGBT propaganda. It's going to keep being my home, even if I have to be the last one out.

>I think I'm about as old as that thread
Not him but I was in that thread.
I'm really cool, aren't I?

(I got affiliate in 2019 pre-vtubing days, this is how I understood it back then.)

3 average viewers. Take all of your streams within a 30 day period and average out how many viewers were on the stream. As in, how high the number gets in your daashboard. You may have 5 unique chatters, but if only 3 watched at a given time, it's still only 3 viewers that stream. I watched this like a hawk when I was going for affiliate and even if I had 5 viewers one day, playing other games to no views tanked that (didn't have any friends that really regularly watched my streams). Pretty much if you get raided once by someone with 20+ viewers, you can get affiliate because it tips the average in your favor. This is how I got affiliate. Now if you're saying "I shouldn't stream unless I get viewers then" the amount of hours streamed unless they changed it was high enough that you need to stream regularly regardless. It's on a rolling basis, so you want to have enough hours on hand on the off chance you get a high number of viewers one stream.

>>3782266
you say that as if people adjacent to /wvt/ don't get a couple of free views as long as they're remotely interesting or a long time chatter

>>3774708
the network broadcasting that probably bought like a lifetime license rights. So the same timeslot was spammed for decades by the same seasons all over again.

Same with Dragon Ball or One Piece. Shows for which they wanted to broadcast daily, while new episodes came weekly in japan. So what to do when the episodes catch up? The mad lad got back to EP1. Every fucking time.

>>3786079
thanks for the tips anon!

This isn't a picrew but it's really good for character creation.

>>3788962
That was the basis for my model actually, not using hers specifically!
>>3789084
Damn that's a good idea, will jot that down.

>>3789385
mood

Will I be able to stream on a shitty laptop?

>>3789709
depends on what you're trying to stream

>>3789386
It's actually really customizable looking at it, and it's connected to vtuber commissions just using that style/the character you created. $298 that's pretty fucking good.

>>3790249
I stand corrected, you don't get a ton for $300~. Though there's one for $600~ that gets a lot more stuff. Interesting for a budget thing.

>>3789709
For a chat stream should be fine. Maybe even some retrogaming.
Anything else more heavy on CPU/GPU would start to lose your frames.

>>3776382
Don't you give me hope, my heart can't take it
