/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

>>6423897
why are you selfposting multiple times while streaming
more power to you i guess that's just kind of funny

>>6425050
Oh, I finished streaming.

>>6425124
what the FUCK were the yikesposts?!

>>6425214
One woman who's husband abandoned her and was apparently feeling a calling to preach the Word of God, while being behind on child support payments and literally being homeless. Another was someone asking how they would go about uncovering early childhood trauma stuff, like the kind of thing you would normally see a professional for.

>>6425339
i've done some tarot readings for people that read into heavier things for the querent in the past on stream but holy shit how do these people find you

>>6425493
People with trauma usually attract other people with trauma, it's a psychological thing.

>>6425493
I've worked in psychology in the past, so maybe I just give off "therapist" vibes? I sure hope not desu, but my tarot streams seem to attract a lot of people who are just there for the tarot and not for any of the other vtuber stuff.

TELL ME THE PROGRESS YOU'VE MADE THIS WEEK OR ELSE. HOW MANY VIEWERS, CHATTERS, ANY GROWTH? STAGNATION? NETWORKER OR A LONE WOLF? HAVING FUN OR GETTING MAD? TELL ME EVERYTHING AND TELL ME RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

I've recently started actually getting some active viewers and got my first followers, been going at it as a lone wolf, though.

>>6425933
I made all my accounts and opsec preparations, starting on my PNG tomorrow
starting soon

>>6425933
I've been doing predebut collabs while my png is being wrapped up by my artist

>>6425933
Drew a png. Decided it looks like garbage so I trashed it and replaced it with a bunny.
I'll probably just stream with this royalty free bunny image starting next weekend or maybe sometime during the week if I have energy after work.

Otherwise just doing vocal training because I'm extremely quiet by nature and my mic can't pick up my voice. I dont really get why I have trouble but my voice never carries. Trying to speak from the diaphragm or whatever but shit ain't coming out.

>>6425933
Got my twitter presence rolling. Got quite a few people following me now, and even starting to network with a few vtubers that my artist has done commissions for. Still working on extras for my model and branding stuff, but otherwise I'm gonna make my debut real soon.

>>6425933
I started actually following people on twitter instead of just hoping people would follow after seeing the link on my streams.

https://vocaroo.com/1a4WYynyMxzY

>>6425933
I JUST PUT UP BOTH OF MY FIRST VIDEOS UP TO PREMIERE NEXT WEEK!
Why are we yelling...?

>>6425933
the most notable thing i guess is that i made a dumb tweet pop off and some people followed me off of it
i also had two pretty good streams today but couldn't stream more because i have inlaws at home but they'll be gone tomorrow so i'll be able to go back to 4 streams a week
I also brainstormed some ideas for an upcoming milestone stream that i'm excited to work on!
Having fun a lot of fun though!

It’s always delightful to see the birth of new VTubers.

What was up with the chicken egg Anon last thread

>>6426919
The chicken needed to be fed.
They were fed

>>6426919
that's a known streamer around /wvt/ she just wanted to test everyone's wills
>>6426782
welcome back, even if its only for a moment

>>6426093
>>6426032
Glad to see new PNGtubers getting in the action, might be a slow start but I started at 0 viewers as well. Good luck, you two!

>>6426150
Just keep practicing and your voice will begin to come out, get invested in whatever you're playing so your emotions can come out naturally. May be counterintuitive, but getting some anger and rage going to get you to start screaming and break that vocal chord ice.

>>6426238
>>6426184
Good job getting twitter reps in, plenty of people in a similar situation so meeting new people will become a slippery slope.

>>6426367
BECAUSE I WANT SOME
MOTHER
FUCKING
ANSWERS
Congrats on getting those videos ready, hopefully they get spread around and get plenty of views!

>>6426439
That is quite the pop off! Congratulations on the milestone and glad you're having fun! Having fun is a guaranteed way to grow!

>>6425933
I finished a drawing project, a "big" company vtuber used one of the assets I made for her on stream (and it seems like it was a success among her viewers) and got 250 likes on a fan art of another vtuber from the same company. Didn't stream tho

Any good way of balancing advertising yourself without being part of the beginner level vtubing community?
Like I dont mind saying I'm going to be a vtuber or whatever (pre debut or whatever) while I stream in prep. But at the same time I really don't want to be part of the entry level community that are acting like high school girls.

I just want to keep twitter posting strictly professional, maybe some humor posting and replies but none of this annoying drama dumpage all the entry levels do.

>>6427034
>anger and rage
I refuse. That is the #1 reason I hate male streamers. It's really annoying and I hate it.

>>6427219
Fair enough, perhaps rage is too much, but I find that strong emotions like that bring out my voice and to higher pitches, making myself less monotone. I've even thought about slightly pitching my voice up since I sound lower than how I hear myself.

Everyone’s energy here refreshes me so. Even when things become a tougher climb. The name may change, but you are still the kind and helpful community I remember.

It’s enough to give me energy to get through a Monday.

>>6426987
A fleeting moment, yes.

>>6426919
that was a test
those who passed got to network with and potentially get good feedback from an experienced chuuba
those who didn't missed out on their best shot for at least a few weeks, it's a good lesson to be learned to just get out there and take a shot even if it's not all perfect

>>6427527
>>6426919
It was the first of the tiger trials.
Some of you failed.
Do not fail again.

>>6427127
>I just want to keep twitter posting strictly professional, maybe some humor posting and replies but none of this annoying drama dumpage all the entry levels do.
Literally just do this. Post about yourself, maybe some memes, follow people you like, just be a normal account. As your model starts to be built up, maybe post some updates about it, get people noticing that you're an up-and-coming vtuber. Like post sketches, final drawings, then some videos showing off the rigging and you playing around with it.

Eventually do an introductory post, greeting everyone, briefly explaining your gimmick/character, a bit about your personality, maybe what streams you'll be making. From there keep teasing people with your model in action, some voice clips perhaps, up until you've figured out your debut schedule, in which case you should start daily tweeting about the countdown to your debut/first stream.

Stay away from drama, at most retweet or like memes, and mostly just keep updating people about your streams. Also be sure to use hashtags to help people find you. No joke, tons of streamers use these tags to find fellow new chuubas, ESPECIALLY on introductory posts. I'm shocked at how many people viewed my post all because I included #ENVtuber in it.

There's no shame in making sure your twitter is all about your self promotion. BUT WHATEVER YOU DO, don't be one of those people constantly shilling yourself in popular vtuber's comment sections. Everyone despises that. Grow your audience slowly and naturally, because people will come.

Wait but did they actually have to feed chickens?
I'm allergic to land based birds.

>>6427437
These threads were unironically the push I needed to "just start" back in June once I realised I wasn't alone in what I was feeling/ Before that I was always just "thinking about the possibility" since February

>>6427749
no, just tune in at least once a day and use the !snacks command for the bot to feed the chickens

>>6427749
it's a twitch channel, you watch a coop full of chickens and if you're a sub you can type a command in chat and it drops chicken feed in to feed them

>>6427646
it took a while for even the earliest posters in this thread to become shameless selfposters
they'll learn...

>>6427756
I’ve heard that a lot. I’m glad it helped you make your start. It’s been since months since /auds/, and I was feeling sentimental myself.

>>6427646
I'm sorry I had literally nothing to show, if I had anything more than an account with a name I would have posted

>>6427756
unironically this.

What pushed me over the edge was I saw a friend of mine (from a different board no less) talk about wanting to be a vtuber too, and he just completely demotivated himself, giving every excuse in the book as to why he shouldn't do it, despite him wanting to do it earlier. And it just sorta hit me that I need to act fast otherwise I'm just never gonna do it at all.

>>6427646
What time does the feed command reset?

>>6427646
I've been using 4chan enough to know that self promoing as girl can backfire hard.

>>6428240
Schizos will follow you for the rest of your career and constantly make threads about you on /vt/ making shit up about you.

>>6428240
just out-autism the autists

>>6428240
This.
I'll use this thread for general help. But I will never ever admit to using 4chan on anything that ties back to me. I'm already hesitant posting drawings in case someone recognizes my style and correlates it to a draw thread. But at least there I have plausible deniability

>>6425933
I need to go buy a burner for making a twitter soon. Gonna start working on the PNGs tonight once my potato & cheese dumplings are done cooking

>>6428240
Tree rrat from Hololive selfposted.
Rules have changed.
Welcome to the Risu era.

You are wise however being cautious, I wouldn't recomend you do it unless you understand this place.
>>6428342
This will happen if you make it anyway. If you wish to remain unnoticed and just doing this as a hobby, then I would advise you not to do it.
However, it is a training camp for those who will need to learn how to manage their own schizos.
Have strong OPSEC. I cannot stress this enough.

>>6428550
it's easier to get away with it if you have an overwhelming normie base to defend you, not so much if you selfpost as an indie

>>6427646
I wasn't there, I had just read through the archive. Is it too late for me eggposter?

>>6428550
Are stalker-ish people really that bad?

>>6428728
groomer creeps abound, just check out the anons over at /yah/

>>6428683
it's not the first time they've stopped by the thread and i'm sure it won't be the last

>>6428458
>partner chuuba with a 3 digit viewer average and connections to two different corporations openly offers gift subs to a chicken stream in thread
>too scared to out yourself as a literal who

>>6425933
I'm still streaming as a non vtuber as I work on my shit but atm its just my friends watching me

Maybe if I was 10 years younger I'd be a tranny.

But shit like this gets to me because I hate male designs and have no interest in designing myself a male avatar. It just doesn't interest me and I dont think there's any male design I'd ever look at and think "yeah thats what I want to pilot"
But I love all these female designs. I like the female archetypes. And while sure I could ignore it and do it anyways, it'd be terrible.

So like all things in life I'll just have to accept it, commission some genshin knockoff ikemen and work with that while hating my face for the rest of my life.

>>6428683
I'm not tiger, but I'm familiar with her ways.
She will track you down and gift you a sub if she finds you worthy.
Be worthy.
>>6428728
>>6428811
There are plenty of doxxers for sure , and a couple of full time schizos.
But they will find you anyway given time. The question is, are you ready to face them now?

>>6428550
>>6428589
I almost posted for tiger... I'm only at 40 followers or so and I've already got schizos, but it's kind of hard to manage them when they're the only people obsessively commenting on your stuff.

>>6428892
You can always make the
>literal who
Argument. But I've already had autisms attack me over stupid shit while being a literal who.
Trying to break out into streaming, I am in no way going to associate myself with any of that garbage.

And there's nothing I'd gain from posting here I wouldn't gain from reddit or Twitter posting.

I'd love to start streaming with a model like the one Ame is currently using. Super simple but still charming and cute.

>>6428904
You could just be a girly boy, faggot. That'd probably be pretty popular anyway.

>>6428953
>But they will find you anyway given time.
as a millennial, this is a lesson i've learned through my time on the internet. everything you say, type, message, DM, whatever, can and will be traced back to you eventually. treat every opportunity as a potential dox.

>>6428904
Just take the femboy chuuba pill

>>6429030
There's no need for anyone here to sell you on this place. If you don't belong, don't self post, period.
But then please fucking leave after you are done. Fucking mystery posters in /wvt/ make me sick, particularly when they start getting sad because the ebin van exploders aren't talking about them.

>>6429106
>>6429036
Femboys are fucking terrible though is the problem, as are traps and babas.
If people are tuning in for a girl, they want a girl.

>>6429297
A bunch of gayboys have threads on this very site. It might not be holo/niji-tier but it's a start.

>>6429058
I guess I've already posted enough in streams where someone really dedicated could find me. As long as I don't actually have them physically stalking me it probably wouldn't be too bad.

I don't have an internet presence as far as streaming or content creation goes. I moved twatter accounts and will create a brand new one once I start to get around the vtubing scene. I'm a paranoid fuck and I feel people will still find me.

>>6430414
>I'm a paranoid fuck and I feel people will still find me.
as far as opsec goes, accept that eventually you'll be doxxed. until then, just use the best practices that are listed in the opsec guide in the OP

>>6430414
>I'm a paranoid fuck and I feel people will still find me.
Are you some massive degenerate or something or who cares?

Male chuubas have about 5 paths they can take:
1. be fujo bait as a cutsey twinky anime boy who constantly teases homosexual scenarios (omg, x vtuber almost flirted with y vtuber, they're totally a ship!)
2. be a deep voiced chuuba with a manly daddy-esq design
3. be a gimmick vtuber with a comedically absurd model made to appeal to 4chan denizens
4. be a femboy to wrangle in the horny boys

or, if you're autistic
5. be a maskless badass ninja-robot guy who is mute and doesn't talk during his streams and gets 0 views

>>6430560
>5. be a maskless badass ninja-robot guy who is mute and doesn't talk during his streams and gets 0 views
kek, don't forget 5k tweets bitching about women vtubers

>>6430475
I will follow OPsec when I start to get my shit ready.
>>6430526
I'm not but if they find you they may still try to get to your family, not to mention these days schizos are looking for cancellable shit dating years back and at this point anything can bury you.

>>6430678
Tiger is successful despite being targeted by schizos, doxxers, and rrats because she knows how to brush them off.
It's time to take the genki pill chuuba.

>>6431060
How does she do it? Actually curious.

>>6431172
Just brush them off. They don't matter and never will. You're giving them power by being afraid.

>>6431172
Tiger likes shonen manga so she strived to become a shonen manga mc.
This is the source of both her physical and her mental strength.
Join the dojo, she will show you the way.

>>6431256
>>6431252
... Is it you, Senpai?

>>6430560
I actually was brainstorming all night and I think I have a general idea of a character and design I want to run with.
I'll probably realize it's dumb tomorrow but for now I think it works.

Mostly on the fujobait side with less flirting. But fujos still dig characters that are androgynous in style but manly in personality. So it would be a good way to balance still being able to cross dress periodically while still being able to act manly.

>>6431172
I don't know outside of the rrat that she's actually NASA or CIA. If she comes back it will be worth asking.

>>6431301
most accessible would be zatsudans, so the audience gets a direct look at you through the stories you tell.

the ideal would be playing an open rpg game, like Skyrim or Fallout and giving your audience a chance to see how you play (because almost everyone will tend to gravitate towards their idealized personas) but that'll be a bit difficult if you're just starting out.

>>6431172
anyone can be doxxed, you're just protected by how little people care to put in the effort to doxx you
if you make it hard and don't give people reasons to do it you can stay safe

What are some good games to play that won't get you completely lost in the twitch algorithm? I have a decent base already, but I'm kind of lost on what to play next.

>>6431295
No, I haven't even streamed yet, but that's basic life advice. People will weaponize the power you give them if they don't like you. So don't give them power, like being scared about being doxed. Unless they're like, a cop, then you just avoid them as much as you reasonably can.

>>6431471
Try youtube shorts

>>6431467
>>6431570
Thanks, anons.
I wanted to share something: at first I had in mind a knows artist to commission my png design regardless of cost, but recently I found a free model from a really good artist. I'm digging both the artist's style and the model so much I'm considering going with said artist instead. Will people get turned off if your design changes?

>>6431256
>Tiger likes shonen manga
Then she must know the same attack never works on a Saint twice. I'll be ready next time, and I hope everyone else will be too.

so I followed the opsec guide to remove my entries from doxx sites to make it harder but they still show up on google search, is there any way to remove them or do I have to wait?

>>6431842
>but they still show up on google search
google search caches take like a week to fully update after those are removed. give it some time.

>>6431816
Changes how? Like, a completely different character? You're kinda breaking the kayfabe if you do that I guess. If it's just an art update I don't think people will care.

>>6431914
Yeah, I can't exactly claim that free-use l2d as mine after all and at some point may need to change. I was thinking something similar but not identical.

>>6431891
it's been about 2 weeks but I guess I can wait longer

>>6431816
I dont really know anyone who suffered major backlash from a design change. When you go for your v2 you will have a better idea of what worked and what didn't.

>>6430560
I'm a deep voiced chuuba with a twinky model

>>6432305
give me your channel so I can masturbate to your voice

>>6428811
/yah/ doesn't count, that's a special sort of nest of menhera

>IRyS just hit 400k in TWO stream
What you guys take on this?

>>6432456
vtubing ain't going anywhere

>>6432456
Hololive bonus really is some powerful stuff.

>>6432495
So you don't think it's too late to start now?

>>6432595
Bitch it isn't even too late to get on bitcoin and the bubble burst six times already.

>>6432595
absolutely not
the fact that just the VSinger is pulling these numbers means that the market of people interested in virtual entertainers is still very much there

>>6425933
Started PNGtubing last week after positive feedback here, my first stream had 8 viewers and I've got 5 subs so far. Haven't been networking yet, but plan to make a Twitter this week, along with commissioning better art from a friend of mine.

Having a lot of fun, and enjoying planning out streams. I have some good stuff planned for the coming week, looking forward to it!

Is it weird that I don't actually care if ppl doxx me?

>>6433174
No, in fact, most normal people don't care.
They call themselves 3D streamers.

>>6433174
no, some anons just value privacy

>>6433216
It's not that I don't value it, more like if they doxx me they won't really find anything big

>>6432801
>just the VSinger
She's no different than anyone else at the moment though. She's playing games and also has some songs, just like Kiara or Mori.

>>6433174
some people have careers, families, and homes they don't want to uproot because some schizos finds their info on the farms

>>6433174
I have nothing to hide but if schizos find the place where I work, and they drop a couple hundred calls a day asking for me I literally am unable to function

>>6433174
there really isnt anything to worry about if you're a male, if you're a female there isnt anything to really worry about unless you have over 50 active viewers, and at that point it would be just people trying to find you to ask for your hand in marriage

>>6433476
>and they drop a couple hundred calls a day
That has not happened on this site since 2008.
Nowadays harassers live on Twitter.

>>6433417
and yet while doing nothing different she still was pulling in over 20k playing a singing game

>>6433735
she is literally the brand at this point, she has done nothing to prove herself yet, all you're seeing is just the fans of the brand hoping she's good

>>6433834
>she has done nothing to prove herself yet, all you're seeing is just the fans of the brand hoping she's good
and despite all your seething, she's still got 5 digit viewers. curious.

>>6433429
>>6433476
On those cases it would be really scary, maybe the problem I have with this is that I can't see why ppl would go that far for harassing someone.

>>6433834
correct; 20000+ people lined up to check out a new vtuber
my point isn't that she's good or not, its that there are still a ton of people coming out to watch a big name vtuber live
it's absolutely still a good time to become a vtuber if the biggest brand name in vtubing is still pulling in numbers

>>6432335
https://youtu.be/Ye8Au-bws5g
See if it's as deep as you're expecting

>>6434027
ooohh you're that guy. I recognized your model

>>6434027
not even close goddamnit

>>6434001
She was already a big name in the utaite fandom before joining Holo, so yeah she deserves it

>>6434027
oh i remember seeing you post your model a while back!
i feel like a lot of the people who posted their designs a couple weeks ago are starting to reveal themselves in the thread or on twitter and that's pretty neat

>>6434027
Autism check: How did you come up with the name?

>>6434027
also holy shit does nier really expect you to read for an hour to get to gameplay lmao

Hey /asp/, here's an opportunity for someone to become a vtuber on someone else's dime. Of course you'd be competing against other applicants, but worth a shot I think.

It's a tinyurl link. /comfyvtuber

>>6434091
Sort of figured but it was worth a try

>>6434159
Is this a completely new start up or do you already have people working under this.. brand?

>>6434116
I used to know a guy named desert who disappeared off the face of the internet a few years back so I nabbed the name. After that I just thought of a few suffixes that sounded good to me. Not sure if that passes the check

>>6434159
I'm too dumb and idk how to enter the link

>>6434267
Have you tried doing exactly how you'd expect to do it?

>>6434302
The problem is idk how am I expected to do it

>>6434159
This feels kind of like a scam, why should we even bother?

>>6434231
Yes there's 5 other vtubers under the same association so you can network with them and the brand has an established base.

>>6434267
It's a tinyurl link, you enter the /comfyvtuber after the website url.

>>6434361
What IS the brand?

>>6434159
>literal who vtuber group
>no official website/presence
>you have to make your own money while a company that literally doesn't exist is somehow gonna bring you more views... somehow

Nice going, ESL. Free English lesson: "How well do you x" or "How good are you at x"

Downloaded photoshop and getting stock images for png! Yeah! Anyone else setting up stream stuff?

>>6434159
Why announce it on 4chan out of all the places you could be announcing it?

>>6434356
>This feels kind of like a scam
How so? You don't have to pay anything, filling out the form is free. The model and rig, social media, UI, everything is provided.

>>6434440
Yeah I mean it's not going to be easy and the presence is largely in the crypto space.
>no official website/presence
Good point, I'll add that as well.
>you have to make your own money
No different from what you're doing now.

>>6434443
Yeah that's going to be a large point of contention for fans as well. You have to believe in the future of it. Obviously you don't, so don't apply.

>>6434445
No problem.

>>6434471
No one said you had to. No purchase necessary.

>>6434542
Better fix that as well. Thanks for the heads up.

>>6434589
More exposure, I want as big of a pool to pick from to get the best choice for the vtuber.

>>6434620
Then why not advertise it on Twitter/reddit?

>>6433997
you would have to be literally bigger than all the current /here/ vtubers combined to get to that point
at most you get koopa stuff at worst where you have people combing through all your socials looking for the time you liked a guys tweet and then making up lies about you on 4chan

>>6434620
>No different from what you're doing now.
exactly, so why the fuck would we join your little crypto group? What incentive is there? How are you going to make YOUR money in return?

This is clearly a poorly thought out business strat.

>>6434671
>Then why not advertise it on Twitter/reddit?
We will, the guys who specialize in those spaces are asleep though.

>>6434694
>so why the fuck would we join your little crypto group?
You don't have to, and you don't so don't apply.
>What incentive is there?
You don't pay for the rigging or artwork.
>How are you going to make YOUR money in return?
I put my money into this with a mindset that there is a high likelihood I wouldn't.

>>6434620

I'm pretty sure the UK is currently genociding all of their melanized folk for losing them a sportsball game.

I've been vaguely following this project but can't really endorse it or anything without knowing exact terms for the contract.
What I will say is that it'll come with a dedicated bunch of /biz/ shills. It sure as hell won't be for everybody, but I think the right person could probably make it work well for them.

ninja and DrDisrespect have had people find their houses, DrDisrespect had an incident where someone shot his house while he was streaming, just unloaded a magazine of a pistol into the side of his house and drove off
but you have to be like 10k viewer range for that

>>6434985
>What I will say is that it'll come with a dedicated bunch of /biz/ shills
so an entire board of groomer schizos who will shit down your throat if you do a collab with a male and cause their scam coin's value to drop a little. seems legit.

>>6435003
That's a completely different sort of streamer and audience though. Until someone kills a vtuber to be with them forever in the afterlife I don't think we've reached that point in the fandom.

Bros I play a lot of cpu intensive games i.e. CSGO, valorant, path of exile to name a few.

I'm thinking about trying to use an old computer for dual pc streams.

AMD Fx8320e, and Radeon hd 6870 with 8gb ram. Is this enough to encode on like med-slow with x264 you think @900p as a dedicated broadcast PC while I gayme on my main PC?

Also is 936p with it over 900p? I've read it's better to do 936p but I have no idea why desu.

>>6434573
I'm drawing a lot of bad art for my PNG avatar. It's an overdone theme and the assets look terrible but I hope I can differentiate myself with the content I put out.

>>6434828
Wouldn't know, I'm American.

>>6435017
The /biz/ shills is exaggerated, and I doubt what the vtuber does will drop the value of the token at all. You have a lot disdain for the idea, I got it a lot when I was getting the artists commissioned for this, that's fine. Don't apply.

>>6435195
You'll be fine bro, shitty picture, hot girl, fat bald ugly guy, idc about how someone I watch looks

>>6435183
My old laptop is worse than that, and I've experimented with that idea successfully. I don't do it because it's a lot of effort to set up and break down, but it works.

>>6435195
I'm gonna try to kayfabe the crust as best as I can, unless it's too much effort, then I won't. I hope most viewers are either like >>6435236 or appreciate the effort put in even if it doesn't look good.

>>6435183
you can use nvenc encoding if you have a nvidia gpu and push it to the GPU

>>6435195
look at power nelson honestly, best example of what you can do, his avatar is literally a crusty cutout of a golden age superhero with the magic wand too and a square/circle for a mouth
but he makes it work by finding creative things to do with it

Anyone have any advice for early growth on Twitter? Is posting in these networking threads actually worth it?

>>6436151
You need to make your account worth following even if it's just for stuff like cute pics of your char or random memes you steal/repurpose. Respond to chuubas around your size even if it's just "omg, this is way to cute!" or something, assuming you're a girl. If not then just hope yo ucan make some friends who can get you into circels

>>6436151
networking threads are hit or miss, usually miss considering the absurd amount of comments and replies they get. You can occasionally meet people from them but it's never really natural.

Honestly just utilize hashtags as well as showing off your model. All your posts should probably have the #VtuberEN or #ENVtuber hashtag (#Vtuberuprising seems to be doing numbers lately). Making an intro post is usually a good idea, like a "Hi I'm ___ and I'm a new vtuber!" post for example. If you're model isn't done posting progress pics can help, but videos of your model in action will do numbers. People like that.

Might as well start asking. Any girls seeing any new views on their Niji applications?

>>6437022
Nope, none at the moment. Put mine in a week before deadline and I'm guessing they have a lot to get through.

I do get the feeling that those questions asking for follower numbers may have been done to auto-rejected some applications.

>>6435361
Sweet thanks. I would have just tested myself but I couldn't find my windows USB to install an is on that. Maybe tomorrow I'll find it.

>>6437096
>I do get the feeling that those questions asking for follower numbers may have been done to auto-rejected some applications.
Probably. It'll be a shame too but I can't really blame them even if I put a week or so into making the audition video. I was hoping that I could get away with single digit numbers because it's Nijisanji and not, say, Hololive.

>>6437258
Same. Part of my problem though is I don't exactly come from a streaming background, although I have the skill set. I do a lot of hosting for events.

>>6437258
>>6437547
The questions specifying numbers really makes me think they're looking for people with at least 10k. I wish they'd actually evaluate talent equally but they have to keep up with Hololive somehow.

>>6437570
nta but, you'd think people with less than 10k would be a better option due to the lack of....noticeable attention? they have connecting to them. We'll see though, and hopefully it really doesn't hinder anyone's chances to get in.

>>6437711
You'd think so, but almost every new EN big-brand Vtuber has had at least 10k.

>>6437711
They probably want proven people, not wanting to risk a "literal who"

>>6437570
It's a shame because surely there are some great people out there that are just lacking something to get them noticed.

I know being poor sucks.

>>6437889
This is true, but it would seem like it would make more sense to scout candidates than have them apply if that were the case.

>>6437711
one of the things hololive looks for in girls is someone that can already handle big numbers so they dont shit them self on debut when they see 30k + watching so im sure they also want something similar. so your best bet at being a Corpo is building your self up as an indie with ok numbers

>>6437966
I don't really see why being used to big numbers is such a deal. When the messages are flying by so quick on the screen, you may as well just talking to yourself.

>>6438023
Yeah, I've been watching a lot of the Hololive girls and they behave basically the same way people with 2 viewers do. They just talk to themselves and can barely even interact with chat since it's unreadable.

>>6438068
That's because Youtube has such a massive delay. There's plenty of huge Twitch streamers with twice their viewers that still manage chat interaction to a degree.

>>6437786
>>6437889
that's true, yet in that case, why not just clarify the type of people they're looking for in their auditions? It ends up saving everyone's time that way, since all you have are already established literal-who's anyways.

>>6437966
yet they still end up somewhat shitting themselves on debut in some form or another. at that point though, yeah. that is everyone's best bet.

>>6435369
Link your channel I'll follow you right now

Be a shota vtuber it's a good idea?

>>6438264
Don't get groomed and sure, I guess.

>>6438263
No I haven't made it yet I'll make it after I'm done making the png and have time to do test streams or something, don't expect anything for a week or two, actually I should make test streams now so I can confirm I can actually stream video games on my internet...

>>6438264
Perfectly fine just don't call it a shota. Follow in Bungo Taiga's footsteps.

>>6437786
Did all the previous lives of lazulight have over 10k subs? That's kind of disheartening.

>>6437547
>>6437711
At this point I'm praying to get noticed. Picking a nobody is a great risk but I hope I sold myself well enough to get their attention. I heard Finana wasn't as experienced as Pomu and Elira as far as streaming goes, so I want to believe.
Also, the fact that they didn't specify if you needed previus content creation experience gives me hopes they MAY take a nobody or new meat to build as a vtuber, kinda like raising an idol.
>>6437942
If I don't get noticed I will just take this chance to start fresh as a vtuber and apply in the eventual third call for NijiEN. I don't even consider Hololive because it's clear the bar there is set very fucking high and I have nothing on HoloEN. Have a better repertoire, making clips or videos before actual streams.
Talking about being poor, can you guys help me with minimum specs and ideal specs for a vtubing PC? I've read having two would be best, one for streaming and vtubing and the other for games but of course I can't afford that. May get sponsored but asking for two PCs is too much.

>>6438385
I googled. Saw thighs. Nice

How did you guys format your audition videos? Was your self-intro in character for the avatar for the avatar you were "auditioning" for? It's honestly pretty hard to figure out what they want since they stressed the "stream in character!" thing so hard.

>>6438264
Elaborate

>>6438539
I did a self-intro of the character then played a game and took clips from it to edit together. Did it all in character.

Granted, I did do it all scripted but I have acting experience so it sounds natural enough. Might not work for some others.

>>6438539
Do not audition as yourself. From what I understand you're supposed to audition in character. Show that you're able to play that avatar your auditioning for.

>>6438458
>I've read having two would be best, one for streaming and vtubing and the other for games but of course I can't afford that.
I don't see why you'd need two. One that can run good games should also be able to stream and vtube.
Anyway, as a minimum, you probably don't need too much. Just enough to run a model and stream without your computer bursting into flames. If we're talking about REALLY budget then something like the RX 5500XT might be enough?

>>6438539
for me, I did the self-intro in character for who I was auditioning for. i may have fucked it up, but for the "stream in character" bit: i did poor singing, and talked as if streaming what i wanted to plan on doing (ex. games) with audio only. it worked a bit for me even if i managed to get it up to 4 minutes only

>>6438539
I did an audition completely "in character", though I introduced myself with real facts about my hobbies, interests, and goals while also having a game I referenced a few times as I played. I heavily heavily scripted it all, but did it in a single stream-like take. Whether or not that's the "right answer" I don't know but it seems to line up with what others are saying.

Next question because I'm curious: which of the four avatars did you audition for?

>>6438718
I only got to 4 mins as well. I thought my scripted bits would go a lot longer.

I doubt they watch the whole 5 mins anyway.

>>6438806
Fifth option

>>6438694
>>6438692
>I introduced myself and then did the character part
This has been eating me since about two days after submitting. I will admit I was in a tight spot because I had to borrow a phone with a decent mic to record and only had, like, 1 hour to do so. Might have been better to say "introduce yourself in character". I pretty much did as anon here >>6438718
>>6438712
I'm confident I may get something middle of the road to vtube, maybe something a bit better, so I'm asking for graphics cards, GPU, etc. I'm a bit tech stupid, sorry.

>>6438806
Went for Ghost. I saw some suggestions on here for what voices people imagined for each of them and I could do the softer/evil voice for Ghost.

>>6438839
i...didn't even write my script lmao, i wrote down important-ish details to point out, but everything else was free-will. but that's true, as long as it isn't above five minutes, or below a minute, it's fine.

>>6438806
the bird to be unique, my voice probably fits the cat a lot more though, but since that's most likely going to be the majority option, might as well pick the lesser one for a small, but better chance :^)

>>6438911
>so I'm asking for graphics cards, GPU, etc.
.. You may be better served looking up youtube videos on computer parts before starting if you're going to be building your own.

>>6438973
It's fine to only do dot points for what to talk about. Reading out a script naturally isn't something most people can do. I was just being pedantic on making sure I did my jokes right.

I'm gonna click the go live button. Tomorrow. Probably.

>>6438973
If you ask me, in order of what people will go for the most:
1. Kitsune
2. Cat
3. Ghost
4. Bird.
Auditions for Kitsune surely going to be a bloodbath and cat, to a lesser degree.
>>6439018
Well, it's a bit of me building my own PC but I will need to write down specs because potential sponsor knows even less about tech than I do.

>>6439071
>Reading out a script naturally isn't something most people can do
It becomes pretty natural after you do it fifty times and it turns from reading to performance from memory, but I digress.

>>6439091
Do you really think kitsune is going to be that popular? She sort of seemed more "Ara-ara" from the silhouette, thought it's hard to tell. She's at least the tallest one. I'd figure most people would want to be the smaller, cuter characters.

>>6439091
Funny, I felt like Kitsune would be least popular. The silhouette felt a little unsettling with the proportions, though I'm sure it's fine for real.

>>6439172
Cat/Kitsune will probably be the most popular.

>>6439182
Cat with giant witch hat must surely be the most popular.

>>6438539
I'm still working on mine. It's hard to figure out what they want since it's the most vague shit you can imagine.

If they want auditions that are nothing but a clip of me playing minecraft or apex legends, there's no way you could format that in an engaging way without some amount of tight editing to condense it down. Or stream multiple games.

I also seriously doubt anyone would watch all five minutes of a video. So either they're skipping through or they're only looking at auditions if you interest them from the other things on the form.

>>6439208
Yeah, the order is probably Cat, Kitsune, Ghost, Bird.

Like that other anon I also went for bird to try and be unique.

I wanna give the niji auditions a shot. But I've never had any streaming or video making experience so I'm not that expectant. I have some decent art skills so I wanna to see if I can get past the first stage wih it

>>6439162
>>6439172
I second >>6439182, foxes are overdone but it's because they're popular. Kitsune are foxes. People like ara ara and an ara ara kitsune is gonna be THE bomb.
>>6439208
>>6439240
On the other hand, small cute catgirl is an easy pick, so it's between cat and kitsune.
>>6439247
Anonchama...

>>6439239
>It's hard to figure out what they want since it's the most vague shit you can imagine.
>I also seriously doubt anyone would watch all five minutes of a video
I sort of wonder if these two things are the point, to see how many people can make something that's interesting for five minutes while "in character" with no other restriction. It'd be a good little pretest.

>>6439071
that, and ill inevitably keep fucking it up if i script-it. this >>6439111 too, yet i'm built differently. jokes especially are kinda tricky in my opinions, but i can definitely relate to being too pedantic on it.

>>6439091
honestly, i forgot about the kitsune's existence. her design, as well as the ghost's arguably give the most "gonna go audition for them" bait. dunno if the kitsune is that popular for a bloodbath though? yet I could be wrong.

>>6438286
>>6438385
Tks for replys!

>>6438580
hmmm like a 13-15 yrs, make like a GFE but little brother (I want to focus on "onechan" but have a "onichan" its okay ), the character is a little silly but dont dumb more like a shy, I will stream in japanses and english, the contents is gameplays and talk stream (I will try always be in character).

>>6439247
Finana was a literal who, apparently, and it's extremely evident that her experience with streaming and content creation is minimal.

Hopefully that helps. From what she implied when talking about the audition process, she thinks the written portion won them over. In her words "do your research".

How do you start getting a Twitter presence?

>>6439419
>she thinks the written portion won them over
I sure hope my spurging book-report tier answers work then haha.

Man i got cold feet about the Niji app and i regret it now
should have just went full on that blonde cat mage

>>6438357
Okay I can stream video games but my mic picks up my mouse and mechanical keyboard like you wouldn't believe, how do I stop that? Rode NT-USB.

>>6439581
is your mic resting on the table or does it have a stand? If its on your desk get a mic stand it will help
also obs has filters you can use for sound gates so you can block it out

>>6439581
Noise gate is your best friend

>>6439247
it's still a worth of shot to try, you'll get filtered on the streaming experience questions, sure. but hey, use any skills you have to your advantage, and you may get lucky. if not, at least you tried, and know what to do next time they hold auditions.

>>6439513
you better start practicing on how to sound like a reverse trap, anon. but the google form hasn't been closed yet, so maybe you can get away with submitting it past the deadline

>>6439581
Noise gate + noise suppression if you have OBS.

>>6425933
I tried to do a guerrilla stream last night when my DnD group cancelled, but OBS shat the bed and refused to send video output.

So I spent two hours swearing at my computer.

>>6439635
It's on a three little leggy thing that came with the mic, but I should have a tripod or something somewhere. I'll try messing with gates, thanks >>6439652 >>6439659

There sure is a lot of stuff I need to learn about with OBS, it doesn't look confusing but it is a lot.

>>6439341
Kitsune and cat are the biggest audition bait, ghost too but not to that extent.
>>6439419
>>6439499
I didn't write essays but I made emphasis on what I could bring to the table. Also hoping my awkward audio recording gives me some moe gaps points due to nervousness.
>>6439247
>>6439513
You have time if you are males. Females though deadline was yesterday...

>>6439659
>noise suppression
I don't like suppression as much as gate, I seem to notice a big drop in quality, at least with the streamlabs OBS version of it. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I go from being clear to sounding like I'm wearing a mask.

I don't have any streaming experience. But I'm gonna audition for niji and see if I can get in with my art skills like ina did

>>6440496
Is your art Ina-tier quality, anon?

>>6440512
Shit. I hadn't thought of that. I think I'm decent but not ina tier

>>6440567
That's fine, anon. Spin it by saying your art might not be the greatest but you're not the type of artist that's intimidating to those learning. You can learn and show others you're relatable.

>I'm gonna audition for niji and see if I can get in with my art skills like ina did
>Is your art Ina-tier quality, anon?
>Shit. I hadn't thought of that.
Holy shit thank you for the laugh.

>>6440633
That's kind of the angle I'm going for. Rather than teaching art, the audience and I would be learning together. Like friends in a group study

>>6425933
I'm giving up on streaming with an avatar for the time being. I think I've finally found my niche, but I've noticed lees people watched my videos with the avatar on than the ones without it, even if the content was the same.
I'm still gonna do it, once the main channel can keep itself on its own. I'll start another channel where I can become a variety streamer with a funky Live2d avatar on.
I'll keep lurking in here for advice every now and then, though.

>>6441431
Huh, that's interesting. What kind of videos?

What about skeletons?

>>6425933
I've done more work on my audition video to Nijisanji Male. Hoping to have it all ready to send out by the end of the week.

I'm an ancient content creator with some bad luck, but some notable success, so I'm hoping to flex my skills to win them over.

>>6441538
How notable? I don't want you to link yourself in case that's a yabe, but can you give a sub range? I want to know my competition.

How to increase discoverability on youtube? I've been making shorts everyday. How long until this pays off? Are there specific hashtags I should be aiming for? Are there some keywords I should be on the lookout for in my videos? I know youtube overload AI literally autogenerates a transcript from your voice and does fuck all with it.

>>6439735
>>6439659
You have more knowledge than I do on sound filters, so hoping you can help...

I've got a chunk of filters set up to remove background noise, and keep everything clear. For the most part, this works. The only prolem is it makes my voice a bit grainy at louder volumes.

Any idea which filter and settings to mess about with for this? I've tried a few, but I don't actually know what any of them do, I just tried following multiple different bits of advice on YT until I got something not garbled.

>>6441874
First tell me specifically which filters you're using. I'm guessing suppression but lemme see if you've got something weird.SA882

>>6441587
Linking would be yabe. I've been around a long fucking time in some form or another. Across a few different YT accounts I've accumulated close to 10k subs and have had some pretty solid performing videos now and then.

I take more pride in my experience than my numbers, honestly. But I can just as easily think of many reasons they'd reject me, or take me for a 2nd male wave instead. But you gotta shoot your shot. Niji's gonna hold a lot more future auditions anyway.

>>6441918
Geez. Good luck. Hope I see you there. My practical experience doesn't hold a candle but I've put as much soul as I can into what I've given them.

>>6441909
Fuck, I'm away from my rig atm, so don't have everything...

I think I've got:
Supressor
Gate
Limiter
Expander

Not entirely sure on it, desu, I was hoping it'd be a "yeah, you've got your supressor on too high".

Thanks though, Anon, I'll see if I can get it up later

>>6441982
Limiter should always be at the end of the chain, but I'm guessing it is and you're just working off memory. Still, if it's happening at louder volumes you might be running into it. If that's not it then I'd check the suppressor settings, though if you adjust those you'll have to adjust everything else after it.

>>6441981
It's really hard when it's just for a singular position. I think many of us would be less doubtful on our odds if it were a group.

Pressure will be high for whoever it ends up being, since it's going to be the first agency male ENTuber.

Best of luck anon!

>>6442143
Showing how much I researched, did they confirm it was just going to be a single guy? I don't remember reading that in the audition announcements but I could just be retarded. That seems weird to me.

>>6441463
Yugioh. I was using that niche to experiment on streaming, but some friends became pretty invested on it and now I'm gonna ride the waves with them for as long as we can.
Maybe vtubing is way too intimidating for foreign countries still. Well, I can't say I didn't try now, so I regret nothing. And I'll try it again, but later. Once I get more experience with video editing and streams overall.

>>6442204
It's left a bit vague perhaps? If they get some REALLY good auditions, it could turn into a group, or maybe after the first initial guy.

But at least from when Lazulight talked about it, they assumed it was gonna be one person. Depends how much stock you take in their knowledge, they may not be in the know at all.

>>6442369
Geez. Harem master memes incoming in that case.

>>6442369
Just a single dude? There goes my chances. Kek

Seems like a lot of Vtubers sing and play guitar or ukulele or something. I kind of want to get into that on my own streams at some point.

I make a bunch of mistakes, but do I sound good enough to do it?
https://vocaroo.com/1hhE69o3kNtV

This is also pretty much the first time anyone's really heard me sing, so just asking should help with some of that anxiety.

How do I maximize the amount of people watching my debut? What are some places to shill myself? I know I'm not going to be huge, but I wanna put in the effort to try and make it

>>6444083
>debut
Are you already producing content, or is this a complete cold-start?

>>6443462
Pretty good, I think you're easily good enough to be performing on stream. I don't have much to add but that your guitar's a tad quiet in the recording.

>>6444083
For quick and easy shilling? Twitter, Reddit, here. If you have a niche or another language then maybe you have more options. Obviously there's also ordinary networking.
If you can put out content beforehand, then YT, tiktok, and again it gets more niche.
Or just stream without debuting if your situation allows it.

Don’t die!

how do you guys deal with realizing after the fact your name/design/concept is way too close to someone else's?
I've gone through about 4 designs now, from conception to making all the accounts for opsec, and then drawing a PNG and setting it up to stream, then being told I'm too close to someone else or couldn't pull off that design, scrapping it, and then restarting
if I hadn't stopped I probably would have been making content since May, but if it happens again I think I'm just done

>>6448287
The best way to do it is to just not care
Even if you're close to someone else, then just stream anyway; go with what you like rather than what other people tell you you should do

>>6448287
I picked my design because I thought it was cute, and that it'd be an outfit I'd want to wear IRL if given the chance.

>>6448287
Fuck 'em.

Unless you're copying someone's name and design and concept, in which case, fuck you.

>>6434159
Thread was dying (at least when I started typing) so have a drunk post to rev this back up - I've been thinking about this and honestly, as long as there isn't too many obligations that come with this (and there shouldn't be because they'll easily make the cost back through just from crypto bullshit) this shouldn't be that bad a deal. The biggest downside is that it's a pre-baked model and it comes with associations that can be both a blessing and a curse.

From what I've seen of the debuts of affiliated talents (namely TIlde), they at least put in some effort to assist with the technical side like getting set up for streaming, as well as marketing (in typical /biz/ fashion). This isn't to the level of the better agencies around, but despite not even being an agency, from what I've seen they can definitely do better than some of the shit-tier agencies AG comes to mind
Not saying this is going to suit many posters here given the pre-baked model, but I can definitely think of at least one noteable example of someone not being able to afford a model themselves and signing into a bad contract instead, so there's surely somebody that it would work out for.

>>6448287
>then being told I'm too close to someone else
who the fuck is telling you this and why are you listening to them?

>>6444445
I'm making an elaborate debut, and I'm already doing some of the work for that before the stream itself on Twitter. Otherwise, I am just now going in.
>>6444604
I'll keep that in mind, is there any specific reddit thingie (subreddit?) That I should be posting it in? Also, is it better to put my stream link here or in /wvt/?

>>6449682
>I am just now going in.
If you don't have a FAMOUS artist and rigger, your debut is not going to be as good as you hope.

Sorry, but having to be blunt.

You might get some traction on Twitter, but you don't have ANY extended content for people to like. Even avatarless streaming would provide something for fans to get excited by.

Sure, you'll see Irys and other Holos get 20,000 YT subs out of nowhere, but you'd probably need da Vinci to draw, and Brian to rig for you get anywhere close to that as an indie.

I would very strongly recommend streaming and building a small following beforehand. Perhaps, just as a png of someone under a sheet, like the attached, that you can pull back in the debut. But I'd be surprised if you can use a hype purely on twitter beforehand.

Out of interest, what's your follower counts on Twitter/Twitch?

>>6448287
Unless you're going for something outlandish, you're design will always be similar to someone's else. As long isn't the exact same you'll be fine.

>>6449682
do not do this
stream with your avatar and network with others for a solid 3-6 months to build up an audience and develop what your content will be and your voice as a content creator
then debut after that, you will have a much larger debut, and if you do it right, might be able to even ride that to partner if you get enough numbers

>>6449682
>I'm making an elaborate debut
>Otherwise, I am just now going in.
oh no

Voice(male) quality check, please? There's a reverb and maybe some background noise, gonna need to figure out how to fix that in OBS. Need to know how others think my voice sounds
https://voca.ro/17ajHPI922QL

>>6451711
i don't hear any reverb, that's usually a specific filter you need to put on, often for karaoke. you sound like you're taking pretty shallow breaths, take deeper ones. otherwise it's fine.

>>6451711
The recording sounds a little thin, try placing the microphone a little closer to you.

For your voice, are you reading something off a script? Your cadence is a little halting, making it a little unclear where the sentence is going. I think the pace is good, you're not speaking too fast, which is a common pitfall a lot of people fall into. Try opening your mouth wider when you speak. Things sound a little muffled, like your words are getting caught in your mouth.

>>6451858
Not reverb but echo I guess, my set-up is in a closet without doors for space, maybe need to put up some blankets on the walls to help with that. My posture is terrible and I bet my breathing would improve if I fixed it easily, thanks

>>6452025
Yeah I'm sight-reading a Wikipedia blurb from the front page, my natural speaking is more fluid although my brain trips over thoughts so I'll pause randomly even then, although usually I do speak faster when I haven't just woken up. I'll move the mic closer and practice opening my mouth, thanks

>>6448641
>The biggest downside is that it's a pre-baked model and it comes with associations that can be both a blessing and a curse.
Correct, that's going to be the biggest obstacle for whoever gets chosen. You're going to get a lot of unwarranted flack for it, and you don't get to design the model you'll be VA'ing. The only obligations will be streaming, and I will be pushing for not having the VA plug or shill anything crypto related, with one exception but there's financial incentive to it for the VA.

>>6452262
No problem. If you sing, I'm the musicanon and would happily provide advice and feedback there, as well. Even for speaking, fixing your posture is important. Good luck, anon!

>>6449257
>who the fuck is telling you this
The voices in their head

>>6453525
I can't sing at all but I still sing/rap to myself often, I'm going to need to curb that to not terrorize any viewers lol, listening to myself I'm never on pitch and can't breathe, but here's a sample after taking two hours trying to do literally any song but I can't so here's a first-take light before we land because it was slow enough to let me breathe
https://voca.ro/1i0G06y3TCsO

This got asked before, but what character did you apply for in NijiEN and why? I did for ghost because I felt went better with my personality and interests.
>inb4 Niji recruiters are here to filter anons from applications

>>6442369
>>6442143
First I'm hearing that the male auditions are for a single person, which seems incorrect. Where did you (allegedly) hear this?

>>6455335
I think singing or rapping to yourself while playing a game could be endearing, so don't try to repress that too much.

As far as your singing goes, I see what you mean, though. You would need to do a lot of work to get and stay on pitch. That's definitely a learnable skill though, so don't despair that you're not there currently. It might be hard without someone offering you real-time feedback, though. You'd want to listen to a pitch, sing it back long and sustained, and then play back your own recording to confirm the match. If you have trouble hearing if you're matching, that could be difficult on your own.

One thing you can control now is your breathing, though. Make sure you're sitting up straight, and taking deep, diaphragmatic breaths. This will help center your pitch, as well. It may be that your lung capacity isn't very good right now, which would make sense if you've never really had to use it before.

You don't need to be a singer, but if you want to work on it, there's lots of self teaching resources you can work with online to start before seeking out an instructor.

Do let yourself sing while playing though, I think that's fun. Good luck, anon!

I'll be doing a test stream in a couple of minutes! I'd appreciate it a bunch if you could check it out!
twitch.tv/pommemade

>>6455906
they are looking for at least 1 guy
there's no set number they're looking for, the application is to scope out the talent. They could have 1 or they could have 10, depends on what they find, but they say 1 because there's no way they don't find at least 1 guy who's worth it out of the applications

>>6456728
Do you have the PNG set up to change just whenever it detects voice? That's a pretty good way to do a VR stream, actually. I might steal that idea when I start up for those sorts of things.

>>6456728
You knocked your mic down or something and became much harder to hear. Don't have a twitch account to tell you this on stream.

>>6442369
If it's a single male they are really shooting themselves in the foot and are going to create a Shibuya Hajime situation.

>>6457491
It seems like it would be an unnecessary burden on the dude. Unless he had either no self awareness or overflowing charisma he'd be hard pressed to make a presence out of himself when surrounded by all the girls he'd be immediately associated with. If there were, say, 3 dudes they could have a bit of variety and collab with each other to ease the flow at the start. A single guy would have to be some sort of renaissance man.

>>6457656
>If there were, say, 3 dudes they could have a bit of variety
hope it's more than 3 or nijisanji posting will just be flooded with shippers with the NijiEN girls and cause needless drama and shitposting

I can't wait for wave 3 to debut and /NijiEN/ to be filled with SHE'S HERE posts.

>>6457656
they understand that the strength in male vtubers comes from their interactions with each other, there's no way they only pick 1 they'd be shooing themselves in the foot

>>6457867
At the point the guys get in it'll probably be about a month after the 4 beast girls show up, so they'd still be outnumbered 7 - 3 in this scenario.

>this is you're male nijiEN
how would you feel?

>>6458068
I'd feel like they'd be obligated to play yugioh.

>>6458068
a little disappointed that Niji went pretty boy models, but i can understand it since they'll need the widest audience appeal. only problem i see is when they open their mouths and start talking and sound like some nerdy 20 something californian

>>6458068
I'd fucking kneel if NijiEN males were even a fraction as awesome as Shingancrimsonz.

>>6458195
If they could land the over the top chuuniness and silliness I would immediately oshi the fuck out of them.

>inb4 this is male nijiEN

>>6458326
only male chuuba i could see pulling that off would be Kenji and Ais, but it wouldn't work for 99% of western male voices

>>6458326
Me in the middle

>>6458326
Tall guy on the right, holding the biggest plush but keeping a healthy distance 'cause I'm not gay.

I hope niji goes weird with the models. I don't want just ikeman

t.fujo

>>6458396
I don't.
Not necessarily ikemen but I hate joke designs like rikiichi. Give me some cute shotas or maybe fantasy generals who are kinda old but still in shape and have that cool aura of maturity around them.

>>6458478
Yeah all those are fine. I'm mostly just concerned they'll go with X number of generic bishounen. Bara daddies are where the market is going.

>>6456302
I'll try working on pitch and breathing and let myself make terrible noises while streaming I guess if it doesn't drive off viewers, thank you for all of your help&insight!

>>6458478
>fantasy generals who are kinda old but still in shape and have that cool aura of maturity around them.
>opens mouth
>haha, yeah, i've never had a girlfriend, what's that like?
>lol don't girls have cooties? gross
>i don't actually go outside that much

>>6458520
Don't ruin my fantasies anon.

Also I hope they go light on the incels. I get, haha I'm totally a nerd and can't get a girlfriend, so funny and relatable XDXD

but ffs if you're going to pick western guys at least get some chads in there. I don't want to listen to pathetic incels whine about how easy girl vtubers have it. give me a man with a nice big pair of balls on him.

>>6458068
Who is the cutie with the dog tags?

>>6455671
P-please reply.
What does /asp/ think of lolitubers? Western retards spazz at the mere hint of a loli avatar and I may eventually lean towards one down the line, but western chuubas get so much flack for them I'm kinda scared.
Funny how they don't target Gura while not a loli (in my opinion at least), she does look very young. Too big to bite her, huh?

>>6458585
Even our former /asp/ people like nelson are socially awkward. It's painful

>>6458608
Rom
anime kinda half-furry and the main girlgroup is shit, but its worth a watch if nothing else for shingan's little side shenanigans.

>>6458396
I want bara monster men (with an emphasis on the monster)!

>>6458620
Gura is a loli but clothed enough that she's not overtly sexualized in her design. it's only a problem when you slap them in a microbikini and start drawing attention to it.

>>6458620
I don't like Gura, but she does it fairly well.
The problem is loli voices just don't work well with English so it just always comes off terrible and awkward, on top of anyone with a loli avatar always being extremely cringe.

There's a few other minor exceptions, but its better to play it like nyanners and instead of a loli just play a flat chested petite girl so the older voice doesn't mismatch with the model and she's not having to force a shitty squeeky voice.

also pedos get the rope.

>>6458520
I'm curious about this, I had the idea of fantasy general in my mind, I feel like, if the situation calls for it, I could potentially pull off kayfabe in the moment. But my default would be not as chad-like, although not as bad as your examples. I was just remembering the argument of whether or not kayfabe is important

>>6458733
kayfabe isn't for streaming. it's for when you get asked personal questions like "how old are you?" "where are you from?"

>>6458620
I like Lily Hops. She has a cute voice and does a decent "little sister" angle

>>6458620
I think they are pedophile bait. Their only use is as a government psy-ops to gather more prisoners for cheap labor.

>>6458620
>Funny how they don't target Gura while not a loli
Did you miss the original ethot shitstorm when she started eclipsing the twitch thots

>>6458733
imo kayfabe is more important the more out there your character is.
that's why JK's and generic school boys work well, because your OOC nonsense fits them. the further you go away from normal the more important it is to keep the character up.

>>6458760
>kayfabe isn't for streaming
I disagree.

>>6458857
which of the nijisanjis have any content directly related to kayfabe during their streams?

Can someone post the edited/clearer picture of the nijisanji en 4 avatars that were open for auditions. I wanna see their faces clearer.

>>6458868
Debi is literally always in character.
Mito uses it as a persistent meta joke.
Roa was always in character before she died.
Rin is always in character as an autistic school girl.
I want to assume Tamaki is in character, but she might actually just be brain damaged.
Hima mostly stays in character I assume.
Chaika stays, and he's pretty far out there.
Eli sticks in char most the time, given its mostly just screeches and funny noises, but still. She never goes normal.

And that's just the ones I watch.

>>6458963
i have a feeling you don't know what kayfabe is

>>6458963
What are we defining as "in character" here?

>>6458996
its basically the same shit faggot.
you're splitting hairs.

>>6458857
You should be like 10% kayfabe at most or you just turn off a majority of people. There's a difference between kayfabe and just having a persona based on your actual personality. Think of being a wrestler vs how Ryan Reynolds acts in interviews. One is full on kayfabe and another is just a persona.

>>6458963
You're not Japanese nor are you streaming to Japanese people. Those aren't really examples of Kayfabe, but you shouldn't be trying to 1 for 1 replicate them anyway, the audience is completely difference.

>>6459079
You shouldn't literally try to be Debi.
But you can keep the kayfabe up if you want and it works fine. Plenty of the smaller channels do it all the time and it works perfectly fine.

>>6458766
>>6458793
>>6458708
I found a really good l2d model for free, it's pretty much a loli but I really like it. She looks like one of those bisque dolls, with those lolita fashion/victorian dresses and the more I look at her the more I want to go in that directionfor my own design down the line.
>>6458815
I didn't count ethots because they aren't people i.e. Venti. I'm talking about the western chuuba circle and their hatred for anything remotely loli. If you have screencaps of ore ethots seething please share.

>>6459192
they're just vtweeters the only thing they can do is be mad. just block and ignore them if they look your way and keep doing you.

>>6459192
The only time vtubers chimp out about lolis is when they're clearly being sexualized. I couldn't care less about it but every single time I've seen someone bitch about loli, it's either because the person is or promotes sexualizing the character, or its a fucking schizo flag-fag that will get upset at literally anything anyway.

>>6459192
If you really like it, use it. If you aren't going to talk about how you want your squishy good-girl daddy holes filled by your chat-papas, you should be fine.

>>6458518
No problem! Who knows, you may even come to enjoy singing a lot! Either way, I think vocalizing while you're gaming is pretty relatable, and could endear you to your audience so long as it's not just a constant stream of nonsense.

>>6459227
>>6459247
>>6459269
I contacted the artist and told him or her that I really love their art and would love to commission down the line. Kinda tempted to link here to promo but I at the same time I don't want the model to spread too much.

>>6459192
>I found a really good l2d model for free, it's pretty much a loli but I really like it
Just make sure the artist doesn't have any dumb rules about actually using it, I guess.

>>6459354
don't worry about it until you have a draft in the works

I had a dream where I was streaming and noticed a username popping up in my chat pretty frequently. I couldn't read any of the words it said, but it started with the [brackets] that live translators use during the streams like [ES] [ID] [EN]. And I got so happy that my viewer base had grown so much that strangers were volunteering their time to translate what I said to their language viewers. How do I make this a reality, bros? I was so happy.

>>6459503
Keep streaming! It's always possible that you'll catch on and people will want to translate your content.

>>6459503
If you're a girl just say the following on stream
>dios mio, es flavella mi es cringo espanol

>>6459356
Rules basically are: don't say stupid shit with my avatar, don't harrass people, don't do anything too offensive to the public or morals and no secondary data distrbution (?).
>>6459365
I feel like since I'm going to use this free model and people get used to it, might as well commission for a similar design to keep the theme/audience so that's why I'm reluctant to show the model.

>>6459503
You already know how, don't you?

>>6459503
A-Chan questionnaire anon, i want to change my answer to the "what's your non-number based milestone?" question. i want this.

>>6450690
I appreciate the bluntness and I can kinda see, but I'm prepared to have 2 people max watching my stream, cause I'm mostly doing it for friends. I'm also the type that can't help but get stuck with an idea in my head until I do it, and the one I have in mind really would not work if I took that long to pull it off (or at least wouldn't be as fun to me). My plan is just getting that debut out of the way so I can just do the stream part, but I wouldn't be satisfied until I did this the way I envisioned it.
Sorry if it seems like I'm ignoring the advice, I just really would prefer to do it for myself than do something half baked in my eyes. Besides, I already got most of my stuff ready for it and it'll still be relatively amateurish, its not like I'm putting a lot of money into this.

>>6460060
Yeah, just that I decided how Kyuotto is doing after all the shit she got and it seems she has a community but still gets shunned by other tweeters.
Also Mitsurugi Lia has been using a loli model for a while now and she's fine.

>>6460183
Also, before it is pointed out to me, I know I started out by saying "How do I get numbers" and then I avoid the way people are saying to get numbers with a "I don't care about the numbers" type of response.
I'm kind of a hypocrite yeah, but I'm mostly asking to try and maximize that, despite all my debuffs that I'm setting on myself.

>>6460335
Advertise on twitter/other social media if you want the best starting numbers possible as a no name indie. Otherwise you'll just have to deal with the fact that numbers will hopefully come with time, effort, and luck, and your first video probably won't be hitting triple digits day one.

>>6456728
Thank you all for checking out the stream! I apologize for the technical hiccups, I'll try and buff out the kinks throughout the week. This test already gave me a lot to work with in terms of setup. Any critique you have for me would be greatly appreciated!
>>6457204
I do, yeah! It's a program called PNGTubie I got from Github. This is what I'll be primarily using in the coming months, but I'm planning on making a small 3d model so I can stream with full body tracking.
>>6457390
I did, I'm sorry! I heard something clatter to the floor and I assumed it was my earbuds. I'll be more cognizant of my movement and mic placement next time.

>>6444604
Thanks. I appreciate the input. Maybe I'll give it a shot next time I'm on while I'm still 0 views. Build up a little confidence doing it live. I'll work on the guitar volume. I'm no audio guy, so I'm learning where I can.

>>6460534
I gave it a watch for, like, 20 minutes until I got pulled away. Your voice is easy to listen to so that's a bonus, though I can't really say the stream itself was super interesting. I don't know if you did anything else afterwards but the rhythm boxing probably isn't something you want to stream for long long periods on stream unless you're doing something that at least looks super impressive, because as it's a VR game you can't really even respond to chat as you do it. A Thrill of the Fight sort of deal which is in shorter, more exciting bursts might be better for the boxing experience, though I might be biased as I was sort of planning to try that one on stream.

Managed to raid my friend the daddy tuber with 100 people today! Honestly one of the best feelings I've ever had. Finally feel like I'm getting somewhere with what I'm doing and seeing the model come together has been great. Hope all your aspirations are going well bros.

What are good alternatives to iphone 10 for face tracking? That seems to be on the pricier side so I was hoping a pc camera with the same function could be more affordable.

>>6460802
iphone x* I'm stupid

>>6460802
Logitech C920 series webcams will probably be your best bet. but no other webcam or phone has apple's Face ID depth map tracking technology, which is what vtube studio uses for the best current tracking possible.

>>6460802
There aren't. As much as I dislike apple the iphone tracking is fucking ridiculously good.

>>6460851
>>6460865
Painpeko. I dislike Apple too so I'll have to bite the bullet.

Officially a 2view, ikuzooooooooooooo!
>>6460658
Thanks for the advice! I primarily did FitXR as an opener because I want to start streams off with something fitness based. I did that for about 30 minutes until I switched to an hour and a half of Ancient Dungeon VR. I still want to hit my goal of 30 minutes of cardio though, so do you think replacing FitXR with Thrill of the Fight at the beginning would be a better option?

>>6461071
>you think replacing FitXR with Thrill of the Fight at the beginning would be a better option?
I can't definitively say "yes" if only because I haven't seen enough streams of either to know, but, again, that was my own plan for VR streams as it's in short bursts so you can easily talk with chat between matches or even between rounds if you're quick, but it's also pretty exciting while you're doing it. My own plan was to combine it as well with a heart rate monitor so people can see just how much of an unathletic dumdum I am, but that's probably just me thinking a little too hard.

The model I'm going to use as made on Animaze, and the rigger uploaded some files as an update since it seems they are needed for it. There isn't a difference if I use Animaze or vtube studiowith a model made in the former?

>>6461182
i think Animaze is the one that needs some extra couple of files, while vtube studio doesn't.

>>6461167
Oh not at all, that was a plan of my own as well! There's a YouTube channel that implements a heart rate monitor while playing games like BlastOn and FitXR. I hope you do well with your streaming endeavors! I'll be sure to check it out once you're up and running.

>>6461202
Got it, got it. I also misread and the artist made the model on Cubism.

>>6461346
Live2D Cubism is the program every rigger uses to create a rigged model for live2d. currently, there are 2 (popular) face tracking programs that most vtubers use Animaze(or its outdated version FaceRig) or vtube studio. cubism can publish live2d models for both, but Animaze/FaceRig need some extra stuff for it to work properly. that's all.

>>6461182
I'm admittedly uninformed, but is there a reason why you'd want to use animaze instead of vtube studio? The latter seems to just work better for me when I mess around with it.

>>6461435
some people are married to the brand and format from facerig being their original dip into the software
it's like how art schools all teach maya and adobe products despite there being perfectly good alternatives that are sometimes objectively better

>>6461410
>>6461435
Noted. I decided to download vtube studio in my potatop and it runs, albeit facetracking from laptop's camera is shoddy at best. Some awkward blinking and lip movements.

it's the anon from the other thread who just posts random vocaroos for the hell of it. he's not even looking for feedback or anything, just saw vocaroos getting posted and joined in. guess he's back for now.

Musicanon here, as I keep learning how to stream, I'm going to keep uploading music content to my channel, mostly finished quartets, so people know what to expect from me. Enjoy, fellow anons. We're all gonna make it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAWGX0_iBfA

>>6464357
Oh, that's pretty poggers then.
>>6464378
Pog content, champ. Got any meme songs you think you'll barbershop?

What’d you put for the “desired frequency of stream” question? I don’t pay a ton of attention to what corpo schedules look like. I was just gonna say 5 days/week, 2-3 hours/day but I’m suddenly worried that’s not gonna be enough. My current actual schedule is 6/wk 1.5/day, but I dunno if that’s any better.

>>6464517
Probably! I could pretty easily write my own arrangements of meme songs, or do barbershop songs that are already memes in their own right (Hello My Baby, Baby On Board, stuff from Cuphead, etc).

Any meme songs you'd like to hear made into barbershop? That could be great fair use content.

>>6464550
you know you can always change your schedule as long as you're hitting their minimum requirements, right? you can always do more. 1.5 hours is actually on the pretty low end, 2 hours should be minimum though.

>>6464550
be honest and don't bullshit them.
Claiming more than you can is going to look worse than just saying 3-4 days

>>6464550
Don't say so much that you look like a moron but also not, just, like, "3".

>>6464588
That Wellerman song is/was a meme, but I'd really like something old and wholesome, not a meme, like Ernest R. Ball's "Let the Rest of the World Go By" https://youtu.be/n2byuyq4VH0

>>6464785
I'm pretty sure I have an arrangement of that somewhere. I'll look into it! That's a beautiful old song. Most of the quartets I'll be recording on stream are from that time period, 1880s-1930s. Lovely melodies, great close harmony. I'm not a memelord, so content like this suits me best. Thanks for the suggestion!

I've thought about doing the sea shanties, but I feel like that's been done to death now. I do like them a lot, but there's a lot of people doing those.

>>6464901
Oh, man, if you ever did that song it'd be the tits. I'll definitely tune into your streams. But a meme song here or there would do numbers, especially if you arrange a big weeb song like Komm, süsser Tod.
