/asp/ - Aspiring Vtuber and Startup

[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.

I like space/astronomy/etc. And some "light" sci-fi.
Also I wanted to do something at least a little different and turn some particular vtuber design tropes (cat ears etc.) and turn it into something (hopefully) interesting. Of course though, I came up with the idea a year ago and have been working on it on and off, even now.

I started from a small concept and then built upon it with things that were meaningful to me.
The name is related to the design but not so much that it's obvious. My design is too specific for me to say more.

>how did you pick your design?
I'm a huge clothing/design fag so this was the hardest. I had to pick the aesthetic I wanted and then picked out all my favorite design elements from said aesthetic and put it all together.
I can always get a new outfit someday that's completely different like a scifi or fantasy outfit, it's with the knowledge in mind I was finally able to settle on something.

some anon wanted to see my "last stream" so i might aswell post the vod here. basically 2 hour cringe venting and pity baiting about non-problems. but i actually had fun streaming for the first time. felt good not trying to jump through the chuuba hoops trying to get viewers, just go online and be cringe.

first half hour is talking about my vtubing / streaming history if you care to hear a 2view male blogposting, rest is about my life and stuff. maybe ill continue streaming, maybe I'm done i dont know yet. thanks /asp/ for hanging around trying to encourage us somehow this makes me think not all of 4chins is aids

My life experience. Disheveled butler costume represents retirement from cosplaying, compilation of accessories symbolizes weeb websites that shaped me to be who I am now, and money motif represents my irl occupation

Learned how to rig for more customization and to save money. When you open it at first, it seems pretty overwhelming, but it actually is pretty easy, the difficult part is making a model look good.

You'll have an easier time learning if you're already experienced with art. Syafire's Live2D guides are a little bit outdated, and don't show all of the features of Live2D, but will get you understanding the basics. I also recommend Brian Tsui and Kira Omori's tutorials. Once you got most of the stuff down, watching professionals do Live2D rigging streams can also help.

Very minimally so. I was able to get four people in for varying amounts of time just by word of mouth: my sister, a friend, my artist and my rigger. I posted a little bit on Twitter yesterday and today with a few hashtags (#Vtuber, #ENVtuber, #VtuberUprising) and used the Vtuber tag on Twitch for my stream. That was enough to get me eleven other live views and seven unique viewers total.

I have no clue, but I saw that it was roughly as active as the other ones and figured I may as well use it. I'm not sure who started it but it seems to be a general "new Anglophone vtuber" tag now.
I hope this isn't a gotcha and I wasn't posting cringe or something

I guess the mic is really dead. As I said, I need to give it 600% gain in OBS to be on level, so you can barely hear it here.
Even gave it a shot on my laptop but it had crackling noises on top.
You know what's sadder? I used a gravelly voice to record that. Can't hear a spec of it.
Also I'm giving up on the navy seals pasta, I don't have the locution to pull it off.

But you don't have to. If your sources use only windows and game captures and when you kill them, OBS will only show a black screen or whatever overlay you have.

I've done my own rig. it has a steep learning curve, but once you got it down it will be easy. if you have art related experience or know your anatomy you have a huge head start and your rigging might actually look half decent. I've noticed a lot of riggers have a hard time with making angle X look natural due to their lack of experience with angles.
look at example models, you can find their english version on the L2D server. try to mimic the deformer hierarchy on your own model. good luck

Why the absolute fuck did you do this?

Also go to therapy, you have low self esteem. Which is just your internal monologue always defaulting to negative shit instead of average thoughts. You're mentally diseased, it's not your personality. Stop thinking about yourself, be friendly with others and genuinely care about others, not just yourself. You're assuming a lot about others that struggled with the same shit all their lives and overcame it overtime. No one is born with charisma. No one loves literally everything about vtubing. Go talk to a fucking catboy on twitter with a mid 20s swimmers body bishie png, 300 people will want to fuck you and you'll be in the 50 viewer range in a few months if you post a schedule and stick to it.

You're fucking killing me, what the absolute fuck.

You're not growing because you're a sad sack, you're not growing because you aren't growing as a person. Also leave 4chan, go follow some 40-200 follow streamers on twitter and reply to their pinned with something nice. Think about how happy you'd be if someone replied to your shit and said something friendly about your design.

I'm worried my normal voice is too deep to fit a petite model. but basically I went off my irl proportions and I'm short and flat. should I change the model to be more busty? basically I don't want there to be too much difference between voice and model. boobs are a buff too so I don't know why I'm so autistic about this but I also want to have a model that resembles me at least. I should say model is not full on cunny but more like megumin.

thanks for your input, I'm not sure how much you watched but must have been quite a bit and I'm glad. also i apologize for upsetting you, which is totally understandable you feel that way. I did show a mock-up of a male model (picrel). The one I'm currently using is just very comforting to me.

To address the therapy and negativity. I get that I'm not normal and probably could benefit from therapy but at the same time i feel like it won't do anything. I won't bore you with monologuing but i fully agree that this focusing on myself creates a lot of issues and turns me into an annoying person. I should focus on making others happy, nobody wants to listen to someone being sad forever. I thought maybe in a world where everyone is so positive some counterweight would help but maybe i was wrong. This was a one-off stream and I'm sure I won't do it again. If i continue streaming I'll do my best to clean up my act internally and "on-stage". Focusing on becoming a better person...

[Anonymous No.]

>>19369207
Good luck !!
I remember the story of your current model and the artist of the series who allowed you to ... it's a bit wistful to see it go
The picrel mockup looks amazing however

And regarding not rambling about sad stuff ... I believe as long you have the intention to always rise again from a falling and act on it, it's good to discharge burdens here and there (within reason)
You seem a bit mopey but a guy with a considerate attitude, so you'll do fine imo

[Anonymous No.]

>>19369207
I'm watching all of it. I feel bad for you, I felt the same way for a long time. You're hurting inside because your thought patterns are literally driving you insane. Your voice is really attractive or I wouldn't be trying even half this hard. You also talked to yourself for two hours straight, that's near fucking impossible for most people. And you're interesting for it. You really have to stop going insane, you have everything you need to succeed and I've seen hundreds of people in these threads. You're literally one of the one, maybe two, I've seen and thought "Oh they could do this for a living." CBT would help you.

https://www.therapistaid.com/worksheets/cognitive-model-example-practice.pdf

Start doing this instead. When you have negative thoughts you have to actively encourage more positive thoughts, or at least neutral thoughts. Don't run away from your feelings but try to shape yourself into a person you want to be. Do small things that make other people happy and instead of thinking "Oh I'm so terrible, oh I'm a fuck up, oh I'll fail," try to focus on the here and now, you're catastrophizing. You're also actively catastrophizing as you speak, no one minds that you're upset for your stream, but you mind that you're upset.

The drawing looks great, maybe give them a more "bishie" haircut. Try to find a good 2D artist that's done attractive male designs in the past.

If i didn't have to go to work i could have kept going for at least 3 more hours lmao. My stupid brain is full of endless thoughts and i consider myself someone who likes to listen more than he likes to talk.

I will definitely take a break, because I'll be out of country meeting a good friend. I will take all of this in and decide in April if i want to continue.

I will still be here because /asp/ is comfy. The new model is very close to my heart, he will not be made to pander to others, but then again my goal isn't to make money. My goal is getting to mint tier (~50 ccv) and have a small community of people i can have fun with. I have many things planned for this model and i will make a serious effort to overcome my thoughts and push through with it. At the very least I'll post the finished design.

So, i watched most of it and honestly it feels like you are lost
I don't really understand what exactly you expect from streaming in general, you sound disappointed about your numbers but at the same time you don't make a ton of effort to grow besides just streaming everyday, you didn't even shill yourself on this board after all
I also think you kinda already decided you don't want to stream and are making excuses to no longer put in effort
Ask yourself what you would do in your time that you are not streaming, would you be happier by stopping completely
You seem to think that everyone else is better than you and you downplay your numbers by a ton
You look at your analytics and just says they are "nothing" which is really worrying because they are better than a ton of people
You have a good voice and a good mic, i would say think long and hard if you want to do this but if you do, put in effort, maybe just stream less but put more effort to shill yourself and the kind of content you do on your streams, it will make you happier

If we're being honest, probably one of those mtf trans voices. You know, like Artemis. They all sound rather similar. Not saying its bad, but its a particular vibe that I feel this png shares.

That or like a soft androgynous voice that you're not sure if its quiet because of confidence or that they are worried they will wake their parents up and cracks occasionally. Puberty voice.

Pick a design you feel comfortable in. If you want big boobs, go for big boobs. If you want to be less busty, go for it. If this board is anything to go by, there is an audience for both.

You will 100% hate streaming if you hate how you present yourself.

I think matching voice to avatar can be a bit of a challenge but it's not as important as your satisfaction/happiness.

Thanks again for taking your time to watch it. The numbers game is terrible. I want to not care about it, but i do a lot. And it's not only about numbers, it's about the rate of interaction. More than anything i want people to interact with and that enjoy being around each other. But you are right. Downplaying oneself is really obnoxious. I always pride myself of being a logical and coolheaded person but then i'm saying dumb shit like that. The jealousy gets into your head and then everything goes downhill from there.

if it looks like jank work on your lighting/rigging/webcam and see if it becomes better, if you are still not satisfied with it then look into live2d

I’m thinking something like Clement or SomecallmeJohnny where they did marathons of a specific franchises like Sonic or Mega Man but done in live stream format and broader in scope. An example being playing through a handful/all of Sonic games with readings of the comics/watch alongs of the cartoons done on alternating days

I'm such a huge fan of the "generic" oldschool JRPG hero. There's something about Japan's interpretation of Western fantasy themes that's extremely nostalgic. I came across you purely by chance months before you started openly posting here (admittedly while stalking a friend's follows) and you seemed very genuine and invested in the games you were playing (Especially the Digimon stuff) the couple of times I stopped by.

Aside from your mental troubles, I think that you just need to learn to speak with a bit more energy and enthusiasm, maybe pick some better more mainstream games if you can find any you like. They don't need to be modern ones, just something that'll make people who are familiar with it more likely to stop by. Lurk some smaller streamers (they don't have to be Vtubers) that stream games you enjoy and see how you can improve yourself and your stream. Good luck man

actually i did mention this briefly, but I'll try to explain this quickly. I was never actively ranting about having no viewers. I know why I don't have viewers, and i know what needs to be done, but I don't know why i don't have the "energy" (tl: lazy) to jump through the hoops. It's about me giving up before truly trying despite already knowing how to do it. Call it depression, autism or just plain stupidity (i believe its the latter)

The only thread I'm opening here is /asp/ actually and i hope i don't come off as deluded as you see me as. This was merely an inner conflict and had nothing to do with me not being successful. I just outlined the data.

That being said i do understand people getting frustrated with me and i believe the anger towards me is justified.

To all the new vtubers that are streaming for the very first time, haven't made a name for themselves on social media and want to debut, instead of debuting to 0 people just do a presentation video that you can refer people to. Save the "debut stream" for later and just stream and improve at that.

-Turn up game audio. Hard to get immersed if I can barely hear it.
-Work on getting rid of all those “his” and “ums”. They’re a lazy way of fixing dead air and at worst can be grating to hear

the last time someone made a discord from /asp/ it was controlled by a TBA never debut who kept the server private and recorded logs of aspies for black mail. he even had a bot scrape the server and wipe messages every 24 hours. every single chuuba in the server is now stagnating and none of them are making it. they use it a circlejerk friend group to larp hololive and commission porn of each other fucking.

Something I've observed from more proactive or success-minded chuubas is how their chat looks when they're offline. I've opened their channels to give them a look over or follow and I notice dozens of offline follows. This isn't an anecdotal thing though, a majority of y our viewership and following SHOULD be coming from offline sources.

You should be growing the most when you're offline and if you aren't then you're not producing any content unless you're live which is one of the biggest mistakes out there.

Literally everything but the actual streaming I ask my friends/viewers who know for help, sometimes paid. This includes 3D modeling, software/hardware support, mixing, advertising, clipping. Also helps with sobriety, self-care, cooking, finances and just finding people to game/stream with. I've yet to come across a need to commission an outside professional.

The more you know the better though, might as explore you and yourself. Prioritize your needs and wants.

If I were you I'd start streaming asap for your own benefits and self-esteem. Especially with something as drastic as a move you can look back on your earlier streams and really appreciate your own growth and progress. That's how you gain true self-esteem. I've went thru a few moves, hospitalizations, relapses, etc during my ~6 months of official debut and it's been invaluable to be able to document my personal growth and share the lessons I learned with my viewers/friends to remind myself.

Dunno if that's for you though. I'm 100% raw and genuine on my streams to the point of scaring people (that I don't want watching anyway). Congrats on moving, get the fuck out of the city ASAP especially with winter ending.

There's nothing wrong with either. What's wrong is when guys who have stereotypical bored gamer guy voice don't do any voice reps and then click off of their stream when they've got a cute anime girl as a model and no voice to match. It's not ironic or clever, it's just lazy. If you're trying to justify why you're a babi with stupid lore reasons, give up and just use a normal dude avatar.

Finally got out of my slump to "design" my character. I went with VERY simple shapes. Round body, long stick arms, short stick legs
Is it fine? Someone posted an image of top male indies not long ago among which there was a guy that was a cartoon snake, it really stood out, inspired me a little. I'm doing an animal as well, but still a little anthropomorphic.

Also a question for blender frens. How do you personally do clothes? Should I keep a naked version of my character around to build upon it?

[Anonymous No.]

>>19427387
People like traps if you have a cute voice or don't abuse a voice changer. Babis not so much, they cap out at a low number even if the streamer is really charismatic. Mostly because people see the model and go "Oh cute girl" then hear you and back out. If they see something like "catboy vtuber" on your stream title they'll know what they're in for.

Babi chuuba should also have a male version avatar, of course that may means you need to spend more(assume you don't know how to draw).
Or just check how Admiralbahroo did with his "female+panda" avatar.

Little S was a special case of being an entertainer before, being pretty good to make his PNG react a ton and having good interactions with chat
but you can of course do the same

For your second question yes, keep a naked version of the character and then build around that it will save a ton of time

I bit the bullet and commissioned my design/ref sheet last week & my new mic came in and sounds really good according to my friends on VC. I am going to start png tubing as soon as my commission comes in.
How important is having an animated avatar, insofar as actually drawing people to your stream & maintaining viewers? I have the $ to commission one, but am mentally in the loop of "I don't want to drop $ on a model if noone will watch me, but I don't know how many people are willing to watch a png tuber so IDK if being one at first will be holding me back by a large margin"

I wish I could do more to help you guys. Maybe I need to take my own advice and lead by example, the whole results speak louder than both actions and words thing I always say.

I'm fortunate enough that I can just completely be myself and am a natural people person and always find really funny, challenging, and unusual ways to play games. The biggest problem for me has been overcoming my own mental health obstacles and financial/hardware limitation. I gotta say though, I really recommend doing a mix of both multiplayer and single player games. Play together with your viewers and friends for authentic maximum audience engagement. Single player it's great to break the game and laugh together at the bugs and ridiculousness of story mode (Call of Duty). I'll upload some more stuff soon, I hope some of you can enjoy and find inspiration/motivation thru seeing other anons progress!

The time and regularity of your streams depends entirely on you. Not only your schedule/time management but also how you stream and stress management stuff. I strongly recommend Saturday evenings, they have the best turnout guaranteed. Friday nights are decent too, but most people are high or some shit.

As a Babi, I simply just like female characters. You see plenty of girls using male characters whether vtubing, original character art/writing, or simply avatars on MMO games.

You don't enjoy having your ideal female type on your screen 24/7 and getting to look up her skirt and bully beta males? Self-insert weeb male fashion is fucking boring too. If there's no leather jacket, cargo pants, skeletal watch, and 8-inch boots, or full tactical/setting-based gear it's not me.

>insecure about being men
It's not so much that I'm insecure about being a man, I just like to look at cute and funny girls. I plan on commissioning a few artworks for thumbnails and schedules, and figured this way I'd pay for art of both a cute girl OC and of myself in the same go.

Thanks for taking the time to watch though, I appreciate it.

Not really, I can find pictures of cute girls whenever. I might be unusual in this since whenever I use a character creator or make a character for DnD I always pick a male. I know guys who always do females though.

I'm not them and I'm not trying to browbeat you, but I don't understand how this translates into wanting to portray yourself as a cute girl. I also like to look at cute and funny (in a literal sense) girls but I wouldn't want to portray myself as anything but a man

I considered this, but given the option I would 9 times out of 10 choose to stream as the female version of my character, so I didn't think it was worth investing in an entire live2d model. Although I might commission a male version just to use, at least infrequently, as a png.

if you're doing it as a hobby go be a babi live your dreams no one cares and no one will watch you anyway.

if you want to make it you need as many advantages as possible given how saturated vtubing is in 2022. novelty buff doesn't exist and most male anons here talk with the bored gamer voice. going babi and turning off people the moment you open your mouth is only going to hurt your chances of making it. no, you can't just do it for fun and also make it. the strategies to achieving both are not compatible.

That makes sense, but I'm someone who just can't help but self-insert into an OC or avatar since I see those things as portrayals of my personality on some level. I've never used a girl as an avatar before and it certainly wouldn't make any sense to me to do so as a streamer

You aren't "avoiding" the babi debuff by copying bahroo. I'm still clicking those streams expecting a female. Bahroo has somewhere close to a decade of content creation experience under his belt so much that people literally 5+times his size know him and a massive, massive past audience. You have nothing.

Stop using bahroo as an example and at least use someone like Porcelain Maid who's still an early adopter and artist with a following prior to streaming and has buddied up with and streamed with a lot of the bigger named females, some before they were even famous. While still not applicable it's at least easier to shut down without you having a ton of Twitch knowledge.

you have a good voice, a good starting audience, you kinda rely a bit too much on chat interaction
you sing well enough to be above average
there are some inside jokes that i have no idea what you guys are talking about but that's not really bad, you should entertain your audience that knows you, it's just bad if there are too many of them
i would recommend singing fewer songs so you don't tire yourself too much

>wouldn't make any sense to me to do so as a streamer
this is the takeaway. anons that just go babi because they see vtubers as a glorified profile pic are just vtweeters. if you want to be a vtuber you need to stream and streaming means entertaining viewers.

no viewer turns into a random 0view's stream and thinks
>i wonder what this no name's personal fetishes are and how much they jack off at their own OC's lore and design
viewers come to a stream to be entertained and almost every anon here that wants to go babi are doing it because they want to masturbate themselves on stream with zero thought to the viewers.

entertain yourself all you want just realize that it won't be entertaining to your viewers and you're ngmi.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but you need to find a better outlet for validation than streaming. Streaming should be for entertaining other people and not primarily for your validation. I'm not saying you should give up on streaming, but I want you to know that there are much more effective ways to learn to love yourself than streaming. Relying solely on meds and streaming will not fix the problem for you. You also need to take better care of your body and get sunshine occasionally.
I dunno if you've gotten any bloodwork done before, but I would imagine that you might be vitamin D deficient. I certainly was when my depression was at its worst. No depressed person wants to hear that diet and exercise are the best ways to treat their illness, I certainly didn't, but it is genuinely what it takes to cope with this illness. You should go for a walk every now and then if you can manage it.
If you're in streaming to make friends, I would say that there are easier ways to make friends.

Friendship helps a lot. If you engage in any negative self-talk while alone you need to train yourself to not do it, or at least train yourself to respond to it with positive self-talk.
