/asp/ - Aspiring Vtuber and Startups

[Anonymous No.]

What is /asp/?

A thread for aspiring vtubers! Whether your goal is to make the journey as an independent streamer or to gain experience and build a portfolio for agency auditions. Let's help each other grow and make it. Indies are welcome to selfpost, but shill responsibly. Share your knowledge, insights, feedback, discuss what has worked and what hasn't worked for you. And always remember to do your research before posting personally identifying information. That includes both in this thread and in your audition applications to agencies.

FAQ:
>Do I need a fully rigged model to be a vtuber?
Nope! You can get started as a simple .png character!

>I want to learn how to rig Live2D models, where do I go?
Brian Tsui (of Iron Vertex), Kira Omori and the official Live2D YouTube channels have many tutorials available.

>Where can I find artists/riggers?
vtuber.gg, ArtStation, DeviantArt, Twitter, Reddit, Skeb.jp, etc.

>I just want to get started, can I buy pre-made models?
Yes! Live2D models can be purchased off nizima.com (Live2D's official marketplace) or booth.pm (general Japanese indie artist website). Be sure to check compatibility with your facial tracking software!

>Where can I learn how to digital market myself?
https://learndigital.withgoogle.com/digitalgarage

>Where can I find some good games to stream?
https://twitchtracker.com/games
https://sullygnome.com/

>Twitch or YouTube?
The general rule of thumb is Twitch if your content is primarily based on livestreaming and YouTube if your content is primarily pre-recorded and edited.

>Do you think there's an audience for X, Y, Z content?
First, ask yourself if you would watch a streamer of your skill and experience. Second, do a check on social media and look to see if other streamers are already creating similar content. Don't limit yourself to vtubers, include traditional real life streamers to scope out a potential audience.

Is there any sort of guide for how to start designing a character without any artistic talent? I was thinking just
>pick a bunch of reference images I like
>describe in text how I think they'd mesh together
>throw the idea at a handful of artists for interpretations
>present those interpretations, a revised text document, and all the original references to a modeler
Or would that be overdoing it?

[Anonymous No.]

>>16691123
That's what most people do. I'd make sure the text isn't too long but that's the gist of it. I only sent it to one artist and liked the design but if you really want to you can send it multiple ways.

[Anonymous No.]

>>16691296
Sweet. Guess I've just gotta scout out a modeler who'll do mechanical stuff... Although I do wonder if the kind of thing I have in mind would really check all these artists' "no mech" box. Anybody have experience commissioning cyborg/android work from artists? Seems like over half the artists I find have a clause about not wanting to do it, kek

[Anonymous No.]

>>16691123
That’s actually the best way you could present your idea to an artist. Bonus point if you can draw out you envision your character would be, don’t worry if the drawing looks like a 5 years old’s doodle, artists would kill to have more people doodling the draft designs for them.

[Anonymous No.]

>>16691123
>pick a bunch of reference images I like
Your non-art background is exactly what's going to help you design a character, because all character design is is picking things from other places and putting them together in a way that looks cool/makes sense to you.

[Anonymous No.]

>>16691440
Yeah, I've got a tiny bit of artistic skill and a solid tablet for drawing on, so I've already prepared a few sort of compositing sketches showing how I reckon the ideas might combine into a design. I think I'll clarify that my own vision is somewhat limited when I send it to them though; do you reckon they'd like to see it even if I tell them they're free or even encouraged to combine the elements according to their own taste/sense?

[Anonymous No.]

be brave enough to post your shit and I'll spitball your design for free

[Anonymous No.]

>>16691618
Yeah, giving the artists the most freedom they can have is always encouraging, nobody wants to have their artistic visions limited. Don’t be afraid to speak out your mind if you think they went too overboard with their interpretations of the design though.

Well, yeah, obviously. But in the previous posts, I and the other anon already talk about having general outlines for the design. I just wanted to add that anon shouldn’t be too rigid about the design he want and let the artist add their inputs in if the artist himself want to.

>>16692038
I can imagine it going both ways, my plan was to give the artist enough to constrain themselves if they haven't got a clear vision, and enough to feed their imagination if they do. I've got more money than time, so I'd rather get more art than micromanage a few artists, which sounds stressful anyways. In any case, I feel more confident now.

[Anonymous No.]

>>16692038
You're definitely not speaking for a lot of artists, plenty I've worked with have loved the freedom. Obviously you need guidelines but a majority of the artists I've worked with have liked being able to create with a degree of freedom.

Being high energy is more about not having breathing room than it is about being loud and energetic. If you tire yourself out doing the latter, then you're not really high energy, but if you only leave like a minute of dead air across two hours, that's pretty high energy to me, but that's also an extreme.

[Anonymous No.]

>>16695800
>Will 2500 be all blurry and shitty sounding?
The simplest way to think about it is the amount of data you are sending from your computer to Twitch's servers. Twitch receives your recorded video and audio and then send that out to your viewers.

A bitrate of 2500 is almost unstreamable. You are looking at best at a pngtuber streaming visual novels or other games that have very little movement. You'll want at least 4500 and ideally 6000 if you want to start streaming action packed games like an FPS.

Bitrate of 2000 is 720p 30fps

1500 tier 1 subs will get you to average US minimum wage before taxes if you want a comparison.

Recent Twitch leaks also showed that you need to be in the top 5,000 streamers on the platform to just make minimum wage off subs and bit. Sponsorships, merch and the rest might contribute but it's impossible to measure those unless someone leaks that data or reveals it intentionally.

SI/DI, WK/NK? Any savings? What's your trajectory?

I'm SINK (Single Income, No Kids); with enough savings to last for ~2 years of mortgage (not plus utilities and essentials); which is vaguely 1/2 my required outgoings.
If I ever get enough monthly to hit mortgage payments, then I'm quitting dayjob and going full-time. I'd have about 12 months to try and make it before needing to start looking for a job, 18 before I'd start worrying, and 24 before I'd need to beg money off family.

It's not common that a Vtuber manages to do this because Youtube algorithms normally assign one language to a creator and mostly promote them for viewers who speak the same language, and it's just more likely that if you're not super popular (different rules apply to niji/holo/etc) and you stream in a language that's not English or Japanese that you'll get more viewers who speak that language since it would become your "gimmick" and they will tell about you to their friends and then they will end up being most of your audience. This, for example, has been happening to most Russian-speaking indies who are either Japanese or Russians who try to stream in English or Japanese. Some Japanese streamers who speak English also randomly end up with mostly English viewers even if they intended to mainly stream in Japanese.

tl;dr it's better to select one primary language demographic that you're most comfortable with

Not yet a chuuba, but to answer both, I was really fond of what Kiso Azuki was doing, so wanted to incorporate a dash of that. Don't have nearly as much creativity, but that can be compensated to an extent by extensive preparations... and the fact that I'll probably rely on videos more than streams.
That, and there aren't too many western chuubas who share my exact interests (even though those are mostly still very much weeb interests), so I hope to carve out a tiny niche in that respect.

I'm an artist so that's already a good start, I plan on working on character designs for adoptable Live2Ds and do commissions as well. I also have some concepts for a certain presentation for educational videos which I'll probably stream with a script and edit them down appropriately. When it comes to gaming though, feels like something I'm going to have to feel out when I start, but there are definitive concepts I'm leaning towards that isn't simply going through backlogs. Overall, Youtube is going to play a pretty big part in how I do my education and gaming streams on Twitch.

I mostly stream games while playing with friends, and when I solo stream I'm much less hyper/energetic but I still maintain talking the whole time. I tend to stream more often when I'm playing with friends because there is more natural humor and hype. Some of them are streamers, some are just normal ppl. I don't think my viewers mind that I have male friends (I'm female) because they sometimes ask why one of them is missing if they're not playing with me that day

>>16715210
If League of Legends is your main game, add some variety.
It's a very active category, so it will be harder for you to grow due to the number of people streaming. However, you can build a community by dabbling in multiple other games and categories who will possibly join your league streams and help bump your numbers up.
I've been experimenting with doing more than one game or thing on a single stream, starting out in one category, and bringing viewers to another. It gives a good mixture to the types of viewers and chatters, which is great for finding new people. Secondly, if that second game is a bit more saturated like league, it'll bump you up the list since you're already bringing a baseline of viewers that don't have to search for you by scrolling down to page 100.

Eventually you'll grow a community that will come to most of your streams so long as you're online, to be active or to lurk, because they want to support you, and that's pretty sweet. People are truly there for your personality.

"minimum wage" here is a completely meaningless statistic without actual time being used in the equation. Some of the top 5k streamers earning that "minimum wage" are streaming 600 or less hours a year, far off from the almost 4,000 hours you'd be working an actual minimum waged job full time, and that's not even including commute and other factors. I see plenty here with viewers as low as 80, barely even partner.

[Anonymous No.]

>>16718897
No, I already know all of this but I doubt they're doing 600 hours of streaming and 3400 hours of "planning". Some bigger streamers are constantly in "content creation mode" offline, but that doesn't mean everyone is.

Glancing through a lot of the lower end of 5k, a majority of these guys are just going online and playing their main game(s). Not everyone is Ludwig or Jerma, a lot of people get to where they're comfortable and just stream their variety game of the month, upload, rinse, and repeat. Not everyone is "busting their ass" when offline, some are simply offline.

Hey /asp/ies I want to be a vsinger, and want to do some cover songs in either my debut or an early stream.
I can sing in a few different languages and have picked some songs that would work well with my voice to practice, but now I have to worry about getting DMCA’d. Online it says that if you don’t use either the vocals or the backtrack you won’t get struck, but that doesn’t sound right to me (and I can’t fucking play an instrument).

Has anyone /here/ tried getting license to sing over backing tracks and know what the process is like? Should I just not worry about it since I will likely be a 2view (the music industry is pretty ruthless with copyright so I don’t know if this will be any protection)? Do I just resign myself to picking from a small selection of shitty karaoke backing tracks already available on youtube? Do I wait until I have a handful of followers that care enough to show up to an unarchived karaoke stream? Are there other options?

>>16720156
as a small content creator its very unlikely that your covers are going to get hit; if you're really worried you can always find someone to commission an instrumental for so that you don't have to use the original backing track though
out of the covers i've uploaded to youtube, the ones that got hit with copyright claims only got hit with "ineligible for monetization" but they haven't gotten taken down or muted or anything
i've also uploaded my karaoke vods to youtube and its mostly the same case but some parts of the VOD are muted in certain countries

so your karaoke is just going to be acapella in the VOD

You don't have to limit yourself to just youtube when searching for karaoke tracks, there's plenty of websites to get karaoke versions from. Worst case scenario you can get a midi for the song and render it with some digital piano in DAW

Also DMCA on twitch go away with time so just don't get three in a row and you're good

She had a following the "she was TBA!" thing is just shit that got spread because no one here knew who she was prior. She had a social media following and plenty of viewers despite barely streaming. She was technically TBA because she never had a debut, but she still streamed and had a following.

I'm really worried I won't be successful simply because I don't have a lot of money to spend on skebs and other extraneous commissions. I know how to draw and learned enough Live2D to animate the model I made, but when I see other predebuts with tons of nice art and custom logos, emotes, etc. I'm unsure how to compete.

Should I just not worry about this and hope for a dono to buy nice art? Are art trades still a thing?

A mask would be an optional part… my original idea was to have something that matches the aesthetic of the rest of the outfit (scifi space/pilotsuit under a techwear-like jacket) and would also go with some floating mecha cat ears and optional giant mecha claws.

Probably the wrong thread to ask, but y'all are more in tune with the audition process for corpos than most so might as well.

Do companies tend to look down on or just straight-up reject applicants who may have an extensive history and portfolio in digital content creation but none specifically in streaming? Say I have a decade plus of experience in a few creative fields, but no streaming history to speak of.

I'd imagine the only reasonable shot at making an interview would be to dig into indie streaming for long enough to at least show you have the capability and passion, then bolster a weaker streaming resume with the stronger content creation history, rather than trying to lean entirely on only your work experience in creative fields. Has that mostly proved to be accurate in the past?

IIRC a couple from Myth didn't have streaming experience/limited to joining others in live podcasts with others.
Part of the several month wait from getting in to debut is stream training, so I imagine they're willing to take in someone new like that if they think you have the capacity and your content suits what they're looking for.

[Anonymous No.]

>>16742831
depending on how successful you are with your content, you're probably going to mog those who only have streaming experience and nothing else to offer. With that being said, chances are you aren't Ina, so no amount of success will make up for a lack of charisma.

[Anonymous No.]

>>16742831
It really depends on the company but if your expertise in digital content creation is entertaining and shows you can draw in an audience then your application wouldnt be thrown out at first glance. Your assessment seems to be accurate and it really comes down to how much do you want to make it into a corpo. Streaming itself isnt a very hard task, the hard part is being entertaining while doing it and that's what companies are looking for more nowadays compared to the early days of vtubing where they can allow you time to breathe and grow as a streamer.

All you need is a PNG and to start streaming to shore up that experience to show off and bolster your content creation resume and to see if you actually want to pursue being a vtuber as a career as well.

[Anonymous No.]

>>16742831
You need a way to demonstrate your talents and skills. Anyone can say "I have a decade plus experience in creative fields" on an application. Cover won't care. You need to show them something or else you're just going to get filtered long before an interview.

[Anonymous No.]

>>16743349
Theoretically, this would be what the purpose of an audition video paired with your creative portfolio is. But generally speaking I agree with what you mean (for any company, mind, not just the big guys like Cover), and I suspect that you'd need to stack multiple buffs outside of steaming to overcome no streaming history.

If you don't have at least minor knowledge in another language relevant to the company, don't have music among your "creative content," etc. etc. I'd imagine not having streaming experience would be too much to overcome too. Even in the cases that were mentioned like Myth, they had all the other buffs people like to bring up in these threads too.

[Anonymous No.]

>>16743831
The landscape for vtuber recruitment has changed and there's a lot of high profile talented people with decades of content creation along with streaming experience that are top picks if they ever decide to join a corpo. I dont think we'll see a case for myth again unless the company is extremely small and the need for people with streaming experience trumps the experience in content creation.

Look at Vox. He has 3+ years of content creation doing voice readings for fanfiction. His numbers on his Youtube channel rival Kronii's. If Vox held off for another 6 months, he would have easily been picked by Cover.

The important thing to note is that he wasn't a streamer. He was a content creator making Youtube videos. It's easy to turn a current content creator into a streamer than it is the other way around.

[Anonymous No.]

>>16744640
That seems a reasonable enough bar for a bigger corpo, yeah. What Kronii and Vox have in common is that they were making content out of themselves, if that makes sense. Content creation without personality/voice involved is probably not weighed anywhere near as heavy in the audition.

Didn't follow him before but didn't he just debut as a chuuba near the end of his PL? He debuted July 20 and audition rounds for Luxiem was from June 18 to August 1. So he definitely did not have anything to show for with regards to being a chuuba.

Anyone has advice in making the most out of being a fresh zero follower aspiring VArtist?

I see myself as "so-so" when it comes to my skill level, but I think I can draw at the very least and consider it as one of my strengths. So far I've done 4 streams on Twitch from which each stream is approximately a 3 hour art stream and consisted of me drawing art studies, my own assets, or fanarts.

I've come to experience that coming up with unique things to talk about to an empty audience during an art stream has been really difficult. Due to this, I mostly just vocalize my decision-making process in drawing. Nonetheless, I only had 1 or 2 viewers that dropped by per stream.

Additionally, I only use Twitter for posting my art and announcing when I stream (with the tags and all). As of the moment I'm considering continuing on streaming my art practices. Am I on the right track or are there some stuff that I am currently doing wrong or not paying enough attention to?

[Anonymous No.]

>>16748114
art category alone is hard despite how much people will claim its a buff, you have to do other things as well. most exposure for streaming artists is going to be through twitter, not twitch, where there's already a fuckload of artists in the art category at any given time and nobody is gonna find you at the bottom

>>16748114
>I've come to experience that coming up with unique things to talk about to an empty audience during an art stream has been really difficult. Due to this, I mostly just vocalize my decision-making process in drawing.
Genuine question: Why become a VArtist instead of some faceless artist who posts timelapses on YouTube while talking about the process? You're wasting allocated time/money/effort to a Live2D model, CPU usage to OBS, etc. if this is all you do.

Not planning to be a VArtist so take it with a grain of salt but I think the most glaring issue I see is this.

[Anonymous No.]

>still no views
>it's now officially been 2 weeks

>>16748784
That was very insightful thank you! While I think I might still consider streaming my art practices, I think it might be a good idea to shift the focus of streaming to other stuff such as games while I will be making use of Twitter as the main medium for exposure as an artist through maybe fanarts(?). I was really hesitating on the idea of streaming games due to the fact that I thought streaming art is better for exposure in the VTubing community.

>>16748904
Good question! I honestly thought that doing art streams which can potentially highlight my strengths would be a relatively good entry point in putting myself out there in the VTubing community, or hopefully even open doors for possible commissions someday. However, I do not wish to box myself into being a VArtist alone. I also like playing games from various genres such as MHW, DS, KF, APEX, Tekken, TBOI etc. I am actually really looking forward to be able to stream playing these games. I just thought that as of the moment it would be the better investment/exposure if I were to focus on art streams.

Additionally, the reasons as to why I tend to do art streams instead of posting videos are:
1. being able to "document" or record my work progress relatively easy
2. practice my communication skills
3. hopefully make the long process of making art feel less "empty" and more fulfilling. It is more so of "I might as well stream it" mindset.

[Anonymous No.]

>>16750162
>I thought streaming art is better for exposure in the VTubing community
There's some validity to this, but it's not by streaming regular ol art studies. A lot of the community revolves around people making fanart of each other (something I personally despise as an artist myself) and the exposure comes from that, since you'll get retweeted by the vtuber and then their followers will check it out, and then MIGHT click into your profile, regardless of art quality.
Fanart of various franchises you like will always work out with a general audience, but that won't translate to viewers. You can definitely do a stream for fanart though, and use hashtags to announce what you're making fanart for though.

[Anonymous No.]

>>16732382
I personally think it's depends on how good your content is more than followers.
Because Holo/Niji VTs can easy grab followers at the start with their marketing, but content and talent is unique.

Of course, if a indie vtuber have talent, it's almost no way he/she's forever 2views before trying to join Holo/Niji.

>Can you keep putting out said content?
You're absolutely right about talented individuals growing out of 2viewery in due time though. It just takes far, far longer than most people think. The people you see with tons of followers didn't pop out from nowhere, you just weren't aware of them when they were nobodies. The hardest part is getting the ball rolling.

Debuts pull a huge amount of audience compared to what vtubers usually get with streaming, so a lot of the time people want their streaming ability, assets, art, bgm etc. pollished before they debut so they can have in theory the best audience retention.

Would you guys recommend calling myself "pre-debut" while being as active as a regular chuuba already while still getting a feel for things + while being a PNG/an ugly/cheap Live2D model then do the whole debut song and dance once I've polished everything?

Is it possible to have a physics “delay” on something in live2D? I want to implement some detached, floating components and think that having a slight delay from when I move my head to the final positions of the objects might look a little more “realistic” than having it instantly track with my head position. I could be wrong though and it might look super weird.

its a cargo cult ritual to replicate the big corpo debuts

I dont care about your blood group, zodiac, middleschool tier lore or what games you like, because Im not going to obsess and buy a bunch of merch and be deluded into thinking you are my wife, drop the bullshit and just entertain me instead

Yeah I watched you before and i've seen you in collabs, your problem is that you dont stream consistently enough and your design theme isnt refined enough to be appealing since you're just a corporate bot so people turn away from you. I really cant say anything more than that because all bones jones and Kongou are both doing well and they're both deep into their kayfabe.

Thank you for writing this! Yes, this is in line with what I’ve been trying to deal with too. I don’t stream consistently because I got stuck trying to improve the design and add more better things for user experience, and the design is not refined still because i keep trying to do my reps for streaming and other stuff. So far it seems there’s no way out besides settling on a channel design that would allow for incremental improvements and soldiering on. Not going to deny, procrastinated a lot too trying to figure out what to commit too. But it’s great to know I identified the correct issues, so thank you for that.

Your gender has nothing to do with it. Maybe there's a buff for cute girls, but there isn't necessarily a debuff for men. Unless you truly want to play to being a nonbinary or androgynous character I would suggest you just use a masculine avatar

Clicked through your introduction and a few VODs. Not bad, IMO. Did you draw your model yourself? You draw pretty well; I'd suggest refining it to make your persona look more attractive, or at least cleaner.

I know this sub keeps insisting design doesn't matter that much but I really think it does. Not saying you need to go all fujobait, just something more pleasing to the eyes. I find that one of the questions to be answered is: Would artists WANT to draw your character? For example, if the people you commission--those who you are literally paying to draw--don't at least compliment your design or make an effort (you know they're having fun when they make more than one sketch, for example) and just throw it in as another commission...what about the potential fan artists who will just be drawing you on a whim?

Next, your corporate slave schtick CAN be interesting but only if you make it out to be. For kayfabes, I really suggest (for everyone) to look into how similar characters act, whether it's anime or just regular cartoons. There's a lot of corporate slave anime out there. Check it out.

Also, I suggest to lower the volume on your intro video's splat because it makes me jump each time it autoplays because it's quite loud. Might just be me though.

I was not prepared for such positive feedback. It really means a lot to hear such nice words about the design and my drawing! Well, the cleaner design is something I’ve been working on since fall, so if this basic thingy came out alright, this makes me rather hopeful. Thank you for such kind words, anon!
But on the subject of design, I’ve tried to make the look a bit more approachable and more emotive, and there will be some variety for artists because of alternative outfits. I was blessed to get some fanart recently from another robot chuuba: https://twitter.com/vikkatherobot?s=21, and also some chuuba frens, so indon. know if it’s objectively appealing or if they were being nice.
New design will bring more support for the kayfabe, so there is that too. I have a certain dynamic planned, but I kept worrying that it’s too ambitious.
Sorry, this is turning into sales pitch, I got excited over the praise from earlier, which, to reiterate, it’s a big encouragement to hear that my skill passes for something good.
And yeah the drop scares me every time too. The effect was intended, but overdone.
Thank you, really. I feel much more confident now.

[Anonymous No.]

>>16766979
Can't ever shame anyone from trying something new. Good luck, man.

A suggestion since you seem committed to the keyfabe. Maybe have set phrases memorized for when you get feedback, compliments, other specific types of comments. Don't use them to the point of it being overused, of course, kek. But I think it's an okay schtick to drop them every now and then. You're supposed to be a corporate slave robot, after all, a combination that's supposed to sound as repetitive as possible.

I stalk the numbers thread and there's a lot of talk about primetime. What are the so-called primetimes for each area (NA, EU, SEA, JP)? Does streaming at your "target's" primetime matter that much if you're just starting out?

[Anonymous No.]

>>16768558
Prime time for NA is around 7-8PM central (gmt-6)
That's when everyone starts streaming at the same time. Super contested time slot.
>Does streaming at your "target's" primetime matter that much if you're just starting out?
I'd say streaming at prime time is a debuff if you're starting out because that's super contested.

I already got the green fluffy hair down. I was going to go for tanned skin but could try alternate skin colors. The bodysuit that I added was also going to be green too, but since everything’s still being sorted out for the final design I can definitely change that as well. I also wanted a jacket of some kind which is why I went with techwear to kind of contrast with the bodysuit.

Your talent is reflected in raw stats and potential means fuck all. Everyone has potential, but only a handful of people genuinely have the discipline to stick to a consistent content creation schedule. That's why the application asks specifically for a "proven record of content creation" and not "whatever your feelings tell you is your potential".

does not require a sub count. if you want to be pedantic then the amount of shit you've done can count as a raw stat like the amount of music or good videos you've made but depending on how you've conducted yourself it doesn't always translates into a subcount, but having publicly available content that the interviewers get to see will obviously be important

Made it to third round with Wactor last audition, they do not require a video. Second round is sending in voice clips and stream sample videos. Third round is a test stream/interview.

I didn't say "raw talent" either, because that implies talent is natural. Talent means skills that are good and useful and you can make shit with that Hololive wants, obviously if your grandma says you're a great artist for gluing spaghetti on paper then they're gonna print out your application so they can burn it in a fire. My point was that those skills don't necessarily translate to having a previous large public presence, and that previous presence doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things as long as you have the skills to back it up, and the clear drive to do better with those skills for the sake of the corp. If we start thinking of numbers, then we're going to end up back in the discussion about who would actually join a corpo if they're already doing great on their own, Hololive included.

hello friends, im here to ask about the way you have your lights/mic/webcam set up. i have never streamed before so im a complete noob. i bought 2 ring lights, a logitech c922x pro, and a blue yeti with a boom arm and pop filter. problem is, the mic with pop filter is fucking huge and obscures my face from my webcam, but i dont want my mic too far away and lose sound quality. with the webcam on top of my monitor, i dont think my facial recognition software accurately tracks my movements. i could set it up closer to me, but i also need my mic in front of me, i have a decent size desk but having those two plus a keyboard right in front of me, it can possibly obscure my monitor.
one more question, i plan on using vtube studio because it seems like the best option for me out of the 4 other software i have tried. is there a better software to use?

/asp/ies, i'm torn. i generally like the look of live2d models more, and i have more experience with 2d art than 3d modeling. however, i think it would be really cool to do fitness streams, and a 3d model would be immeasurably better for that kind of content. should i futureproof and go for a 3d model or start with 2d until i have the resources to do fit shit?

get a live2d model and then commission or learn how to make a vroid later on. A vroid just only needs to have some likeness to the live2D and it's so cheap and easy to do that you can use it for whatever 3D content you might wanna do.
