/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 don't think anyone would give a shit, no. If they watched the video they just wouldn't click on it.

how did you guys segment your audition clip for niji/holo? kinda curious; 1 min for self-intro and the rest of the 5 min is you picking up a game and streaming it or do you just take clips from past streams?
considering the question itself says "streaming in character", i'd assume you're supposed to actually try and encapsulate a tiny stream within that window, right?

I know I wouldn't get into a corpo right now - I have pretty bad numbers, I'm not hugely entertaining, and I need to do more vocal reps.
These are all things I'm either working on, or getting around to working on.
Is it still worth applying to this round, to show that I'm interested next time, and to show growth?
My background is vaguely in HR/recruiting, and I absolutely would not consider someone applying a second time for a job a second time as a banefit, but I don't think it would actually matter?

Vtubing isn't solely acting a character, no. It's not something most (successful) Vtubers do either. Normal streamers have a light persona typically but it's usually just a magnified version of themselves. Vtubing is still just streaming in the end.

i've finally started the final linework for my base model... god willing i'll be able to do this with a trackpad

My Youtube videos are doing much better than my twitch streams(which are unwatched unless i share them with people i know).
I don't want my friends to know that i am streaming and aspire to be a vTuber, but my online friends would watch me.
Anyways - should i just lifestream on youtube instead? Seems like my youtube videos are loved by youtube(in the sense they show up if you scroll down a bit)

[Anonymous No.]

>>19683427
Doubtful.

>>19683538
The successful vtubers are just so good at it that you don't realize they're acting a character. Look at Kaguya Luna and her reincarnation, they're completely different but if you only knew about one then you would swear it's her real personality.
But yes, a good trick is to put large parts of yourself into the character so it's easier to pull off for hours at a time.

This is only anecdotal to the ones I know personally, but having interacted heavily with people in the low to high hundreds range offline and out of streaming situations, a lot of them are very much the same. The ones who are obviously different are the really coomer-baiting or GFE ones, but a lot are pretty much the same off stream just less filtered because they're not live.

Aiming to become a chuuba is genuinely making me into a better version of myself, what the fuck

[Anonymous No.]

>>19683740
As you go up in viewers more you'll notice that they start filtering themselves more and more and playing more into a character. Vox is completely different out of character as seen when he didn't realize he was live which has happened at least 3 times now.
Though to be fair, I know others like Veibae are very anti-rp and intentionally act the same as they always would, but to be fair she also had an audience before she was vtubing.
But yeah, the smaller "made it" streamers with 1k or 2k viewers can get away with acting less. Acting is for the big leagues like Hololive and Nijisanji, with very few exceptions.

If it came down to it, do you think they'd pick someone who has a nice sized following over someone with a talent( can sing really good or draw at Ina's level) or vice versa? I remember someone saying it'd be easier to turn a really talented person into a streamer rather than the other way around but it seems like more companies are banking on the fact that some people will bring their audience with them.

Entirely depends on the suits in charge or those who can see the analytics if they think that they need someone who can bring new people in. The biggest concern with new streamers is the risk that they cannibalize viewers from previous talents.

how do you have fun in a stream the way holos do? they're so carefree about the things I've been drilled as a child to be pedantic at, but I feel so related to them that it makes me think if I actually has been suppressing my true self all this time.
do I let loose and go batshit crazy or try to still keep to my values that I don't really dare discount from my identity and stick to my idealistic dreams of "how a chuuba should and could be - a new interpretation of vtubing to revolutionize the scene"?
I want to accomplish that dream but I feel like I'll be hated like early-holo Calli, and if I don't and try to fake it too hard while still failing terribly, I'll be hated too like recent Calli.

feeling a little insane with all the applications opening

i was a cosplayer with a decent following and am close with cosplayers with considerable followings as well (100k-500k+) before choosing to pursue vtubing as a new hobby and passion

is it at all worth it to shill my tuber activities on my cosplay account to improve numbers? my friends have also offered to shill for me and promote me on their socials but i've never taken them up on it bc i wanted to succeed on my own... and i have never mixed the two, but as it stands now, i don't think my tuber following is substantial enough to catch any corpo eyes or even get them to take a glance at my app... is it worth it in any world to mix the two like that? i think there's a reason that i chose to separate them, but getting into a corpo, like any other indie, would be a dream

I've come across a rather profound dilemma.

My viewers and friends enjoy spending time with me so much that they get excessively high and overdose/use more than they would normally. This shit has really fucked me up in the head the past week but I think the best course of action is laying down some boundaries. Like I won't judge you if you're gonna get high but I'm not going to play or voice chat with you period. For context most of my viewers are former/active 911/military/criminal and other PTSD/substance abuse-riddled types, so I've made it my personal mission to help people stay sober and not an hero. I've seen very great success and feedback embracing the "mental health/therapist/peer advocate chuuba", I'm far from giving up on it and even my top 3 viewed videos are mental health themed. Growth-wise, these videos have contributed to my stats tremendously especially in regards to returning viewers. I think in conclusion it's just a simple matter of boundaries and not enabling myself or my friends.

tl;dr: bring something new to the table, /asp/

If we're talking numbers and ngmi I'm getting 400, 800, and 1200 views on the therapeutic videos as opposed to 70~200 views on my gaming streams.

how to get them to even click on ur application? let alone open the audition video and actually watch it?

i've applied every time apps have opened on either side in the past but never got a view on my video submissions ;(

is it because i don't have a considerable following and they scroll past? i know there are a ton of apps for them to sort through but i cant help but feel i might have some qualifications that are worth a look (sorry for being a defeatist mindset cuck i will also work on that)

It doesn't come down to just numbers though they are important, but with those skills there's no reason you shouldn't be able to get numbers, especially since you can edit. Lack of content on sites other than Twitch is why so many people fail to grow.

Shittiest advice out there. No one popular is doing anything new. Once in a while you'll find someone who did something really new and unique that succeeded due to it, but that's so ridiculously uncommon that it's the exception and not the rule.

[Anonymous No.]

>>19720147
I don't disagree with this completely, but we really aren't in the early days of streaming/content creation any more. Things are a lot more deliberate than they are now and "new" and "fresh" are next to non-existant. "X but Y" or the yoink and twist as Lud coined it is the way a lot of people improve now. Most people who have come up in the last 3-5 years are people who are creating content similar to the creators they enjoyed with their own personal spin and personality traits embedded into it. It's different enough to not be direct ripoffs, but similar enough to be familiar with those audiences. Very rarely is anyone growing using the older methods of just throwing things at the wall to see what sticks.

I suppose I can, although I am considering at some point to actually play piano or other instruments on stream, but when I first bought the 2i2 I was only thinking about just mic (for stream) or stereo input (for recording piano on my own), but recently that thought has changed as I kind of want to be able to record my voice clearly while also potentially picking up whatever I'm playing just as clearly (piano, guitar, tambourine, shakers, spoons, potentially fucking around with a bodhrán etc.)
I have yet to buy a good home digital piano though, those things are expensive. (C$3,000 for the one I want, GG Roland)

Yeah, and do you really think a 2view can get popular by not doing anything new as well? The point of trying new shit is to get eyes on you, as a streamer.

They already have an audience.

Not yellow cat, but unless your space is treated enough, I would suggest going for a dynamic.
I would even go as far to say that an SM58 might be one of the best choices for karaoke because 1) the mic is meant for vocals, and 2) it may also have an additional psychological effect on you and help you get into the mood.
If I ever get to actually start streaming (I need to finalize my character design and do up some PNGs) I already have an SM58 with a Fathead and a small telescoping floor boom mic stand sitting around that I can use for that.

I don't really see the benefit of having chat on screen during a stream. You can just edit the chat onto the vod for when you put it on YouTube, can't you? I know I've seen other streamers do that before but I don't exactly know the bestway to do it.

They probably gave a theme to follow, and the talent bases their lore on that. Sort of explains why Kiara's fast food lore doesn't really mesh with the whole myth schtick, and how Mumei incorporates her academic brain fry into her lore.

>Phoenix fast food manager
>Bored cheeky atlantis shark
>a detective or something?
>grim reaper that raps
>oh i found a book now i have tentacles

Just make something short up and go with it. It's as easy as
>Visual Theme (Pirate)
>Character Job, Role, Secondary descriptor etc (Parrot)
>Stupid reason for streaming (Needs new crew)
>Possible actual skill you have (Great singer)

Then you have something like "Tarah Mainsail the Parrot Pirate Princess was down on her luck one day after her crew deserted her (they got real jobs haha such a funny thing you just added to the silly story), so she's starts a streaming career to help bolster her crew's numbers once again! She loves singing and blah blah blah blah.

It's extremely simple, any more than this is a waste of time to be honest and that goes for any Vtuber lore at least in my opinion.

Why is it when this topic comes up, no one can point to anyone actually breaking the mold? I'll admit I know of a few but they're the exception, not the rule. I can point to significantly more people who just did what other people have done and were entertaining while doing it, shilled enough, networked, properly and just gradually grew.

Not trying to say you shouldn't try it out, but "breaking the mold" in terms of content creation is a lot easier said than done and takes a lot more research and work as well.

I don't know if my opinion applies here, since I only watch non-BFE males (but I like to pretend they're my boyfriend during streams), I like it when they go on long-winded spiels about their hobbies or something they found that interests them. But thats not specific to BFE.
Something I'd 100% be down to watch is a sort of roleplaying + gaming stream where the chuuba acts like you're their partner accompanying them while they play and introduces and explains things about the game or why they're making certain choices in it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>19741448
If it's the whole "mental health streamer" that's not a new or novel concept at all. A lot of streamers have been more open about mental health issues and their experiences with them in the last few years, especially the larger ones in connection to people like Reckful. It's something Dr. K (healthygamer_gg) definitely helped push as well and since Reckful's death, speaking on and proper sensitivity towards mental health issues has become much less of a taboo than it used to

tl;dr no mold broken here.

This is a seriously omitted point. Yellow cat has actual in depth knowledge and firsthand experience with mental health and legal type stuff that he's capitalizing on, successfully at that. Even though he encourages others to try to do "be yourself" or "break the mold" most people simply just don't have the capacity. Most of ITT don't have any musical or artistic ability either. Yellow cat actually sings, plays drums, and drawfags too apparently (pic ralted from his deviantart). Again the point is that guy actually knows how to do things even if it's shitposting alongside being able to engage people and is using streaming purely as a platform or a means to an end. That's just the simple facts.

All my favorite streamers do this quite a lot, it makes me really happy to listen in on. I usually know nothing about the subject at hand however, so I tend not to participate in chat much and it makes me feel a bit bad tuning into the whole stream and only typing in a few messages.
>>19742288
Glad to be of help, something to remember as well however is that what I've stated is just my opinion on what would be good BFE, and everybody likes something a little different.

>>19742674
There's a concept called a "skill stack", which is putting different skills together where you're good but not the best to get something unique out of it. For example if you're good at drawing, good at making short stories and travel a lot you could draw characters on your trip photos to tell short stories, and that would be way more unique than any of these three things alone. So in that way you're not competing with the "top travelers" or the "top artists" or the "top fanfic writers", you have some kind of niche. I don't know if that counts as "breaking the mold", but it's something

That just sounds like "storytime" Youtubers, which isn't really a bad thing but it's still just another common and popularized for of content creation. Nothing wrong with it, just another example of something that seems unique simply because you haven't heard of it. I blame a lot of that mindset on people who have been getting into Vtubers just generally being new to streaming content creators in general. Most vtubers friends and people I've networked with follow little to no non-Vtuber creators or are only just discovering them.

Yeah, I've heard a lot of the audition tapes that didn't get viewed are due to the subpar manner people filled in their applications, so I suppose you really should make an impact simply from your application alone, since they're probably checking who's most passionate about it from that.
I would guess that the audition tape's just a factor of how well you can entertain yourself and your audience while streaming a video game, especially since we have Mysta in Luxiem who's really loud with seemingly little VA experience but is a good entertainer.

That said, considering the audition clip says
>please make a 5 minutes video/audio of you with: (1) A self introduction; and (2) Streaming in character.
explicitly, would that not mean you shouldn't heavily edit your clip to make it seem as if you're still streaming? Constant cut-outs between good/funny clips would kill the point, wouldn't it?
