/asp/ - Aspiring Vtubers 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.

Today on /asp/
>what is "entertainment"

[Anonymous No.]

>>18130127
The rest just comes down to you as an entertainer then, because it doesn't sound like you're doing anything on the technical side wrong.

This is my personal opinion, but I think not networking can really hurt growth early on because you have no "default" viewership from people who know who check you out simply because they know you or you're part of a group or social circle of people who are seen interacting. You can obviously grow fine without networking but it makes things a lot harder.

[Anonymous No.]

>>18131130
It's a lot harder to quantify without seeing the streams. Yes, "entertainment is subjective" is what you'll see parroted, but if you ask a thousand average internet media consumers which they more entertaining, 4 hours of an awkward, droning person wood carving or 4 hours of a sociable witty person they'd pick the latter 99% of the time.

I think it's a matter of comparing yourself to other similarly styled entertainers at various sizes that you enjoy and seeing what it is makes them entertaining to you. Do you have that same ability? No? What are you missing. What are areas you can improve, etc. That's why it's good to seek out creators you enjoy to find things you can emulate.

[Anonymous No.]

>>18116879
What's the reasoning behind this? I've actually thought of doing karaoke snippets on TikTok, Twitter and YouTube shorts. It sounds like a low-effort way to get views but does it really work?

And also, why are covers until you have an audience a bad idea? I've already released a few, but yeah, they barely break double digits.

[Anonymous No.]

>>18133904
a proper song cover takes 1 month minimum to mix and publish. if you're talking about yourself singing a song on stream like a karaoke that's not a cover.

[Anonymous No.]

>>18133904
its because the time/effort required to do both
i don't know how in depth you're going with your covers in terms of mixing/tuning/video editing but a lot of people will just upload simple singing clips/lightly edited recordings on social media because they're just easier to push out
i have covers from like last march and april; the former is almost near breaking 100 views and the latter is in the mid 300s; both have like sub 20 likes on yt
compare this to like, small covers that i put out on twitter and you see a lot more engagement for a lot less effort
however, i will say that if you like the concept of doing covers and the mixing and making the MVs for the sake of it that you should still make them if you enjoy doing them but also try and make some shorter content for the timeline as well

They're just better than you, but that's not a bad thing. There will always be people better than you.

You have to keep in mind that hitting the "Go Live" button also wasn't the start of their content creation journey, so unless you were creating content in one form or another for years, then started streaming and failed to make it anywhere despite that past success and experience then it's not really that great of a comparison to begin with.

I know that someone like Ina said that she speaks the most when she's actually streaming
It's probably the thing i find most impressive in some 2views i see, they can just speak and speak and speak

What line of work were you in and what were the hours before vs. now?

Hey /asp/! I'm looking forward to streaming and having fun with people, but I am terrible at "marketing" myself because it feels inauthentic to me. Money isn't an issue for me and I'm not looking to make this a career or even earn money off it. But I've funded most of everything (speaking Japanese helps a lot to be a vtuber, the english speaking market for rigging is overpriced.) and streamed on and off in the past before vtubers were a thing.
I want to build an audience because I want to have fun with lots of people and play games with people and shitpost. I'm going to stream regardless if I have an audience or not, but I still want people to come to my debut because I want to make it interactive. Anyone have any thoughts?

NTA but I didn't take that as sarcasm...as a viewer, I don't like watching loud/hyper streamers, and as a chuuba I specifically do a quiet/chill stream once a week for my viewers who want a relaxing stream

I don't think you need to force yourself to adopt a mannerism you're not used to

[Anonymous No.]

>>18166541
Oh sorry it wasn't meant to be sarcastic at all

I do believe that there's a space to be that but if you wanna be a chatty vtuber just talk about anything that comes up in your mind; even what you ate/drank and ask the viewers the same questions as well, then you can just get a feel for the flow of the conversation and just carry a conversation naturally.

Does take some getting used to though for sure.

date rp stream, mostly very fanservicey but still keeps it light with gags and tries best to keep up with stream. its important to know what type of bfe niche you want to slide into, vox in full persona (ie when he's not autisting out) is smooth daddy w some light bully but what if you wanna be punky or colder? this doesn't mean you have to completely keep character 100% of the time but it's a good base for your content and character design

I've never had issues, but I also think GFE/BFE is a different skill in general since its more of a LARPing thing of an ideal "fantasy". I don't think I could do it despite being in multiple relationships because it's much more of a performance than a real organic relationship is, like the shit you see in romance movies except aimed at weebs. You're not actually seeing the experience of a girlfriend/boyfriend, you're selling the romanticized fantasy version of it.

Never said that, not once. I'm explaining that people can't expect results any time soon when those ahead of them have years upon years of experience over them, even if it's a relatively short lifetime. It's not telling people to give up, it's tempering expectations. A lot of people come here and just ask "So how do I do this?" and despite the answer always being exactly the same, research other successful people who do what you want to do. Find out what about their content you enjoy. Do you not enjoy that type of content? Then why do you think you'll be able to successfully create it? Why would you spend hundreds of hours trying to get better at it if you don't like it?

Is there a reason you keep creating these fictional scenarios? Can you quote where I said "Don't try."? It's like you're creating reasons out of thin air to be upset about. I never said don't try, I'm explaining that a majority of people that /asp/ies may want to replicate already have had extensive experience as far as specialized content goes and that they shouldn't expect immediate success, if anything they should expect failure for some time since they've got to go through the same process those people had to get where they are which includes both success and failures.

It's not a "Give up, don't try." it's "Don't expect to be successful from the start."

People come here all the time thinking they can just find the guide and "do BFE" or become a big streamer fast just because they've seen lots of other people with rapid growth. To those I always say one or more of "Find someone who creates content you enjoy. Find ways to replicate but personalize that content. Don't expect to succeed from the start, it can take years. Don't try and create content you don't already consume or enjoy." and there's nothing wrong with any of those things.

Compressor and Limiter filters on mic inputs.

Compressor - reduces loud sounds and brings them closer to talking sounds so you can tell someone is screaming but the volume remains relatively close to normal speech volume.

Limiter - hard caps the maximum volume your microphone will send to your viewers.

I don’t want to link myself to this place, I hope you’ll understand. I don’t advertise myself as an oneesan VTuber and never intended to become like one. It just gradually happened.

Imagine an older sister IRL that teases the shit out of you yet works hard to spoil you with gifts and bakes you your favorite cookies or takes you to your favorite places. That is me and my very nature. While I know my audience mainly consists of adults, I still treat them as I would with my younger siblings. Some people just need a bit of love that they may not have had from their family and a little push to get out of the dark place in their life. While I can never become their actual family, I’m here for them if they want advice or just to have fun together with everyone else.

I’m still small enough to remember everyone’s names, how they’re doing in life, their worries, and goals, but going corpo will make it difficult to properly give everyone attention which makes me feel sad. It’s still my dream to join a big VTuber company, but I’ll still continue as an indie (I refuse to graduate) even if my dream comes true

At first glance, your silhouette feels unbalanced with all of that light solid yellow in the torso compared to the black along the inside edges and legs/hips. Not that it's necessarily bad, but it feels lopsided and uneven, especially with the bottom area squared off the way that it is. Also important to keep in mind that this will only be even more exaggerated when you're streaming and your lower half won't be visible 95% of the time, making the yellow even more dominant.

Quick two seconds messing around with just the bodysuit's edges, forgive it for being messy and it's just first impulse suggestions more than anything else. But you can bring out some little parallels with the cat ear shape with these kinds of triangular rounded borders and tie in some small pink highlights to even further bring those elements together.
