/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.

Welcome back to /auds/. It looks like the questions are the same as the last time. If you want to check you can use a fake email to get past the first and second screens. There's a lot of them so get started now.

my two personal picks for "who I'd expect to make it into niji if anyone from here were to get picked" would be:
Lex Parte (who I've actually seen shilled in other threads in the past) given how he's been inclining over the past months, utilizes obs in ways that I don't see many others do, and his his general disposition being a very comfortable and inviting one Professor Bloom for his musical abilities. I remember him also saying in the past that he had auditioned back when he first started streaming but with the amount of stuff he has under his belt now in relation to vtubing I'd believe he could make a strong audition

If your singing is subpar, not bad nor good, would putting it in your audition be a debuff? Or should you sing ironically retarded to make it more humorous? Also how long would the duration be, just 30-40 secs of the chorus?

[Anonymous No.]

I just started streaming, could that potentially be a debuff?

[Anonymous No.]

>>19528514
vox, who always makes it clear that he can't really sing, actually sang one of mori's song in his audition tape. i think it's more about letting them know that you're not afraid to try out new things, especially since niji debut pretty much mandates singing anyways

I started streaming two weeks ago. The oldest vod on my channel is my first ever livestream. But it seems like I'm still too stiff and I need to start relaxing and just express myself more. I guess you could say I'm nervous in that I don't feel relaxed enough to just crack jokes whenever and go off on autistic tangents. I'll work on that though. Thanks for the feedback.

I can't get the links right now since I'm phone posting but he has a lot of smoothly transitioned scene tricks that are just fun to watch him mess around with; the one that comes to mind is his raid scene where his stream zooms out so you see a whole computer set up (as if he himself is trying to figure out what to do with a raid) and he has note cards that pop up at random with things that are supposed be "what to do during raids" but other goofy things pop up during it as well; it's a real endearing bit that goes the extra mile from just asking what the person who raided you was up to

>>19568736
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjUNGqglSi8

This is only 4 hours but I think you'd be interested to see the pacing and at 3:00:00 mark I just straight up AFK and remind my friends and viewers to self-care. Even though only half the team came back and we didn't continue the gameplay it's important to keep things light-hearted.

Prepare food beforehand. Take your meds, hydrate, go easy on energy drinks/caffeine because the crash is not worth it on an endurance run (for me at least). Even a 3 hour stream I've started putting aside a whole 2 hours to prepare... even shaved and brushed my teeth and stuff. Hope this helps.

[Anonymous No.]

>>19568736
The longest stream I've ever done was 11 hours but I just made sure to eat and sleep well beforehand; about halfway through it I did have some food but it was quick bites in between periods of talking

I might go green screen just because I can change the BG on the fly. But that won’t be too fun to look at while off-streAm.

No and no. There's no known requirement to leave behind your past identity or works for any of the orgs. People usually choose to because it's easier to put all your content creation effort son one thing at a time but there's no requirement. My only assumption was that they ask you to focus on the org for a bit but even that I have no way of proving.

You mentioned a portfolio, so you have the right mindset. Way too many people just want to skip the zero views stage and have fame and success handed to them by the corporation genie. It's a resurgence of validation seeking on deviantart with original character creation and imo it's a glaring misconception to think that you need a really high-quality interesting design and fairytale lore. To me big corpo is more of a launchpad not a build you up from zero meal ticket.

Holopro has extremely reasonable requirements: stream at least 3 times a week continuously for one year. I'd say if you're applying as a pure streamer without a decent youtube following doing something other than vtubing(singing covers, ASMR, etc.), it's a waste of time unless you have hard evidence you've been streaming 3 times a week or more for at least one full year. It's hololive, they don't need to take chances. If I was their recruiter I wouldn't even look at someone without hard evidence of meeting the minimum requirements.

It sort of is but it depends. Most corpos will have a non-competitive clause so you can't be a vtuber for another corpo. They could technically hold you to this even if you were independent though I doubt most would. But if it leaked and you got the opportunity to just make more money indie-streaming and slowly leaving the corpo, they would probably sue you for "stealing" their customers and damaging their company.

I think lore is overlooked even by corps. I'm not saying don't play games and chat like a typical vtuber, but everyone loves a good story so sprinkling in lore videos would add a lot. If you're not solely doing lore then it doesn't take anything away either since people can just ignore it if they don't care.

I think lore is even more powerful with corps like nijisanji or hololive. Imagine, someone cyborg from the future comes to kill Vox but then it turns out its just a ruse to mess with Vox. Anyone who likes either of these two Vtubers will be more likely to check out the other one since their lore is now connected. This play was huge for Fulgur. I think corpos shouldn't have everything muddled together because it would just be confusing, but connecting lore cross-pollenates audiences extremely well. If you're an indie vtuber, it's a weaker form of collab that can add to also literally collabing with the person,

I think it can also be a vehicle for other things. Say your lore is that you're an AI and you can use your followers' computers to give yourself more processing power which in turn can give you a better model or something. That lore also puts stakes into following you. Vox's stakes were that he wanted to rebuild his kingdom to surpass the numbers Tokugawa had.

I think way too many indie chuubas either have no lore or have a single sentence in their bio like "I'm a mandrake" and just ignore it after that. I don't think it necessarily hurts them but it's a huge missed opportunity to suck in more people. I saw one envtuber was considering making an RPG for their lore and it got a lot of attention.

Genuine question for lorefags. How many of you are actively streaming and what are your numbers that can be contributed to your lore? Almost all of the aspies currently streaming don't do anything with their lore.

Callie - magical catgirl
>streams games, makes custom models, collabs with a racist skeleton
Bodega - bodega rat
>has flavor text channel point redeems but does art and plays games. nothing beyond that touches lore.
Bloom - singing teacher
>barely any lore or kayfabe because that's just him irl. flavor text redeems and nothing more beyond that.

Most vtubers in big companies are trained in singing, voice acting, acting in general, gaming, and marketing such as parasocial relationships and online marketing. Even the ones that pretend they were surprised to be accepted actually have a lot of experience and are (probably) bullshitting that as part of whatever character they were told to play. And they ARE playing a character, even if some of them incorporate large parts of themselves into the character. Look no further than Kaguya Luna, her reincarnation is totally different despite having the same voice (though less exaggerated).

People overestimate how long it takes to give attention to lore. It's something you can literally think about in bed while you're falling asleep/waking up. Unlike a manga or a book, you have to be a real big idiot to "write" yourself into a corner with vtuber lore. Vtuber lore is on par with fanfiction in regards to how easy it is to write.

>what are your numbers that can be contributed to your lore?
It's really hard to know who followed you for the lore unless you look at VOD views which I don't have since all my lore is just twitter posts. But looking at the analytics, I get most of my profile views from my "now streaming" posts followed very closely by my lore posts which includes media like pictures.

Singer buff (biggest buff besides big corpo buff), though to be honest he's live right now and has less than 50 viewers do I wouldn't say he's big exactly.

One thing you have to be careful of is that good lore can buff you but you don't want to sink too much time into it because at the end of the day actually streaming games etc is the most important.

>>How many of you are actively streaming
>People overestimate how long it takes to give attention to lore. It's something you can literally think about in bed while you're falling asleep/waking up. Unlike a manga or a book, you have to be a real big idiot to "write" yourself into a corner with vtuber lore. Vtuber lore is on par with fanfiction in regards to how easy it is to write.
so exactly none of you are streaming. got it.

I just streamed! :) I did my third stream this week. It was my third stream ever, actually.

Kek, what these people are inadvertently doing is just making everyone else with a little more experience look better. Choosing between a 100k+ streamer vs. 5k streamer is a no brainer, but a 5k streamer would look good compared to the dozens of 0views who’re applying.

It’s just like for regular jobs: if you have 1.5 years of significant work experience after graduating with a high GPA and are coming with amazing references for a job that requires 3 years, go ahead and apply! But if you apply as a just fresh grad, more likely than not, all you’re doing is saturating the applicant pool and making someone else look good.

Hololive and Niji don’t need to take chances with 0views or people with 0 experience but have the “potential” anymore, unlike when they were first starting out. It’s much better to hire those who their current chuubas know or someone who’s at the top of their game. Wanna audition without either of those? It’s better to spend that time doing your content creation and networking reps. Auditions are never gonna stop happening anyway. Do it when you’re actually ready to take on the job.

way i see it, it's no harm no foul

hiring managers probably hire some interns to poke into people's socials and if they dont have like 2k subs then into the trash they go

what pisses me off is when these people apply and then genuinely get mad that they didn't get to round 2 or something - now THAT's delusion.

Colors are clashing and give a nauseous energy to the picture. Try searching a color pallet site for green, pink, orange tags, if you're really set on that combination.

This is literally how Fulgur got the job if he's to be believed. Vox told him to just Nijisanji.
Other vtubers who had no experience were voice actors before so they at least had related experience.
Most of the people applying are run-off-the-mill ENVtubers who probably don't even know who Kizuna Ai was.

> If I streamed everyday until the deadline would it be enough for my portfolio?

no

also, if you streamed every day you would fucking hate streaming within two weeks

if you do start streaming regularly, though, your portfolio will be good for the next audition, or the one after that.

Same thing with Hololive's Sana. She's literally just the Australian friend that Ina mentioned a few times. Look at their past identities and, sure enough, they're professional artists that have known each other for years and years.

this is why networking is so important. become friends with a chuuba who is ambitious and has potential to get big. then slide into job opportunities as their close friend. this is also why you need to pick your chuuba friends carefully. since most of them are teenagers and young 20 something who are just using it socialize instead of get better.

It’s how the real world works too. VTubing isn’t an exception. Sad truth. It’s just more obvious with VTubing because the entire culture places importance (by means of making it taboo for anyone to know) on identities and PLs.

NTA but fuck off. It’s okay for people to be jealous about someone getting a leg up based on who they know. It’s okay to feel sad about the difficulty to get into a corpo. Don’t wallow in it forever, that’s all.

that's the entertainment field for you. Why do you think all actors live in Los Angeles? On the internet that translates to being in the same circles as big artists and shit.

Literally how the world works and how millions of people all over the world putting in referrals to HR every now and then.
If I'm looking at a handful of people who made it through the final cut and have to pick one, assuming all of them are equally capable and competent, I would also pick based on my familiarity with the applicants

man what's the point of having auditions then? just formalizing the process of nepotism hires?

>man what's the point of having auditions then? just formalizing the process of nepotism hires?
that was the case for nijisanji when over half of all hires have been Elira and Selen's old friend group. the others are for random fucking luck with lightning in a bottle like Gura or Vox where you land a massively profitable talent.

I assume places have nepotism slots but also try out new people, it's not all pure nepotism.
Hololive Gamers is probably a special case as a gen in general specifically because it was a nepotism gen.

[Anonymous No.]

>>19596615
well the thing with nepotism hires is that they get stale eventually. Every once and a while, but especially in the beginning, you need to take a chance on people, there's plenty of vtubers who were complete nobodies before who went on to be pretty big.
Sadly the gold rush is over, all the big companies are pretty set and would rather take it safe. For hololive especially this is the case. Niji less so, but we'll see what happens from here.

[Anonymous No.]

The only time nepotism is bad is when you're aware the other person is better in every way but still pick the nep. There was probably some friend of a chuuba who was rejected in favor of Gura but usually it's close enough that just taking the nep is better.

Im auditioning for both companies and im an experienced content creator with twitch partner with 100 ccv, how do I go about this?
I'm currently writing a script for a 5 min supercut featuring my best skills and content. Would doing it all in VR chat be too much? Do I just use my vtuber model? I'm not that great on the idol side of things of music, do I even try to put in a song or something?

I've put in videos in the past and I've got views but I didnt have as much streaming experience as I had before and now I want to make sure that I'm making an audition that they'd want but I have no clue what they're actually looking for.
