I finally found one of my saved OP pictures again edition

/asp/ is a thread for vtubers to give and receive advice related to vtubing.

>Can I self post?
Self posting is allowed as long as it's for asking for feedback or starting out, there are other threads for self promotion.

>Should i stream on Twitch or YouTube?
Most people would recommend against streaming on YouTube if you don't have an established subscriber base from making videos.

>Is there an audience for X?
Would you watch someone do X?
Is someone already doing X?

Just do the presentation right so they arent alienated . If there is a hard change signal it to your viewers. Do a “debut” stream or change something visual. Maybe go back and forth for a few streams to introduce it slowly. There is no way to make everyone stay but you can keep the ones that potentially enjoy it if its good.

The first step is to stop thinking of it as "shilling" and think of it as simple advertising. You're putting out a product. Nobody will buy a product they don't know about.

I think the perspective makes it easier to keep kayfabe as well as protecting opsec. Once you stop thinking of it as "I, a person, am putting on a camera and putting on a stream" and think of it as "I am broadcasting another stream for my channel." you establish a sort of basic professional distance from the product. Its also healthy because when the stream turns off, you shift gears to being yourself again. When the camera goes on you're your chuuba, and not yourself again until the light turns off.

>> No.43898701

as someone who advertised themselves here, there's no viewers here (for me). therefore im not going to keep doing it. you can be as mad as you want about it this is a place of feedback first and foremost and I'd say this thread is 80% regulars which simply don't gain anything from posting themselves again. it's just the nature of the beast.

My problem isn't necessarily the animal part, it's specifically that the animal I was thinking doesn't match up at all with human expressions.

Depends. Do you stream? If so do you have an audience around approximately the same time? If so, contact them and send them a raid.

If not and you're just a viewer, be active in the channel. Don't go around to other channels and talk about them because that tends to be bad etiquette and can make your 2view look bad.

Find places where shilling them might get some viewers and shill them. A dedicated fan who is good at promoting a streamer can easily be the difference between a chuuba being a 1 view and a 2 view.

God VRroid is so ugly looking, I cant imagine anyone wanting to watch these shitty low quality excuses of a "vtuber avatar". Its worse when they add retarded shit like extra long hair or ears or whatever and then start shaking their head back and forth thinking the jiggling is so "cool" and "realistic" and its gonna somehow attract viewers, when its just a small gimmick that is fun to play with for 10 seconds before it gets old.
I'd much rather watch a PNGtuber with an original and cool design, than these shitty abominations. Even people who spend hours working on it to make it more unique can't ever remove that uncanny valley feeling from the model.
You don't even have to spend big bucks on a fully rigged original vtuber avatar, just get a PNGtube avatar that you can then use to comission a real vtuber avatar if it works out.

While I don't know if there's any proof of this, I could imagine it being a legitimate way to filter people. If a company wants someone who knows how to appeal to people as part of their job, having an incredibly unappealing model as your very first impression before you even entertain, probably means you don't know what is and isn't appealing.

How to grow as a Vtuber the easy way

Step 1: Find a game/category that you really love and can stream in for a (very) long time
Step 2: Base your vtuber around that category. This is important for branding purposes.
Step 3: Be as consistent in that category as much as possible.
Notice how I didn’t put the word entertaining anywhere in there. As long as you’re consistent you’ll get viewers. But you will always be overshadowed by streamers that are more entertaining than you are unless you improve. You can grow as a variety streamer but know that it will take 10x the amount of effort, especially if you play games that barely anybody knows about.

It’s important to be as consistent as possible. Your model will give off expectations and it’s important to meet them. If you have a cutesy model and end up doing a black guy voice like that one Niji streamer you’ll have a tough time getting people to stick around (unless you’re part of nijisanji).

Language buff is not a thing, if Kiara, an extremely charismatic trilingual female with a great model, part of the biggest corpo, who had the early start buff, consistently lags behind her genmates, what makes you think that you, an average bilingual indie male starting in 2023 has any chances without an actual talent?

Most followers are not viewers no matter how you get them. It's just how it is. Most channels have at most maybe 1-3% of their followers watch them at any time, and the proportion seems to get worse the bigger and older the channel gets.

Anon, the thread is already loaded to the gills with bitter babis with 0view channels grousing about how they're ngmi as a male and definitely aren't going to as a babi; a handful of stagnated and bitter 1-2view female chuubas who hit their plateau and can't bare the thought of being surpassed in their same pocket.

Dwelling on them across threads and giving them even more attention isn't going to get you anywhere. I know its asking a lot from a /vt/ thread but a little positive energy would make a world of difference in this thread.

They go into it thinking they’ll get recruited by Cover after a month, spend 10K up front on model assets, and just tweet all day on Twitter with coomer/engagement posts,
Then they burnout after the 1K followers on Twitter doesn’t carry over to more than 10 guys on Twitch/YT. They spent all this money on the look of the store, they forgot to actually prepare for what happens when customers DO show up.

i don't broadcast my opinions on social media, actually i would say this is just kind of an observation.

Because that one anon asked for it, I’m gonna share my progress in my first month of streaming.
First couple days were soul crushing, bad audio and scuff, 0 viewers. Then I decided to read the stuff on this board and start interacting with some smaller CHUUBAS. Mainly fixed my audio scuff, doing voice training to make myself sound better, and I’m definitely feeling HYPE streaming.

Still wish I could get at least one subscriber per day, but I’m working on clipping my streams and adding more KAYFAYBE.
Planning on seeing what the next month will bring, I can feel myself improving.

Language acquisition is a combination of use and vocabulary. Unless you're regularly talking with somebody else who speaks the language, you're not getting the aural feedback you need to properly learn. You're just forming words and sounds without hearing them returned to you. This can lead you into bad pronunciation and term use habits. Its usually the first place that students using immersion methods struggle the hardest because they'll try to converse with a native speaker and that person will either struggle to understand you or not hear what you thought you said. That can be frustrating and even a little jarring because /you/ think what you're saying is right so obviously they're just messing with you, right? But its a defect in your feedback.

Immersion methods (spending all of your time or most of your time speaking a particular language) are the most conducive to learning that new language because it removes your crutches (you don't get to fall back to your primary language to try to express a term that your audience may not understand) and forces you to do what native speakers do, draw on the vocabulary you have to express what you're trying to say.

There's also the gap between formality and informality to consider. Formal speaking is what you learn in classes and school and its fine for technical work and looking professional when speaking and writing. Its also fine for learning to do things "the right way." However, most people don't speak formally in most contexts. Language is a mode of communication that adapts between speaker and hearer. If you want to know how to express yourself to an audience, you have to interact with that audience. Notice how they speak, figure out why they speak that way, adapt it to your own mode of speaking the language. Incorporate slang and idioms (with caution, obviously).

Finally, accent is usually the final hurdle. I learned Spanish years ago and while I was doing so, my accent changed probably 6 times. I sounded like an idiot lost tourist for a while, and then that accent changed to match the sorts of people I talked to regularly. It changed because those were the people I heard speak the most and those were the people by whom I wanted to be understood the most.

tl:dr Talk a lot, listen more.

It sounds like stupid "don't forget to hit that bell!" bullshit, but no joke, a lot of viewers straight up forget they have amazon prime and thus get a free sub. If you can't bring yourself to say it on stream then set up a little timed notification image popup or a text bot post to the chat reminding people they can sub to you for free with their Prime.

Helps if you're offering something extra for that sub other than their support to you. Invest in some emotes both ones that specifically reference your channel and some that are generic enough that the subscriber would be tempted to use them in chat on another channel. Cross-channel emote use is kinda underestimated for marketing reach.

Thanks fellow anon.
I say it at the start and end of stream, but the only time I can convert a viewer is if they’re actively Vibing with me in chat.
Unfortunately I stream on YT, so no cool options like Twitch has - I’ve seen some CHUUBAS put up a pinned chat message so maybe I can try that and see if it works.

>> No.43956210

>>43955894
I mean, if you're looking for subscriptions on YT that's even easier since a YT subscription is just a Twitch follow and both are free. We always groan about how dumb those little "hey don't forget to sub and click the bell and blow my mom" messages are, but I remember reading some market research that strongly implied a correlation to including those messages (as minimally annoyingly as possible if you can help it) and an increase in subscriptions and reach. Same applies to clicking "like on the stream or video as it adds magic points to your algo luck.
