lel, they might have liked the first minute of my audition so much they didn't need to see anything else!
>>2078616
Thanks anon! In the end, this was still a win. I applied to Hololive relatively early and they never even watched my audition,or if they did they immediately clicked away. So getting PRISM engaged for as long as they were was still very good and an improvement.

I feel the same way, like each audition video I create is better than the last.

I wouldn't write yourself off completely, but as I wrote in the previous thread they did watch my whole video.

Twitch is really busy at this hour. Is it a good time to stream for a new indie because of the audience available or bad time because of too much competition?

That is not necessarily a bad thing. A good thing even if you have the right model and target the right audience.

Anon you aren't going for the twitch streaming L33T crowd. You are targeting sexually deviant anime nerds. Sounding like a little kid is a very good thing.

Especially if your model matches it.
Something people don't seem to realize is there is no "BAD" vtubing voice as long as you know how to lean into how you sound and use it in a positive manor

its fine y'know. this type of thread doesn't need to exist everyday anyways. as long as /wvt/ exists /auds/ won't truly die. as long as people save all the links and junk it can come back later when theres more new stuff or concerns to talk about.

[Anonymous No.]

Does anybody know why I keep getting this error when I try to add a youtube chat overlay from a browser source? I can't seem to find a single other person with the problem and I'm getting it consistently
Maybe it could be because I have OBS saved to an external hard drive? That really shouldn't make a difference, but its the only guess I have left because I've done everything else exactly as it should be.

Does anybody know of any alternate ways to get a YT chat as an OBS overlay besides pasting the popout chat link as a browser source? I'm ready to lose my mind.

A window capture of the popout chat.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2116805
Use Streamlabs. Pretty sure their chat widget works for youtube too

[Anonymous No.]

>>2116924
Doesn't Streamlabs use an absurd amount of disk space?

[Anonymous No.]

>>2116951
nta, but it doesn't use "an absurd" amount of diskspace. it's just bloated with addons and doodads that you don't need or can set up easily enough on your own.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2116951
Streamlabs has is on the level of bloatware, it has way too much useless stuff
>>2116805
Did you check to see if the chat is working normally? Youtube is fucky and there used to a chat error like that

[Anonymous No.]

>>2116972
>Did you check to see if the chat is working normally?
Yeah it seems to be working fine in the browser.

I guess worst case scenario is I use streamlabs even though I'd rather avoid it

[Anonymous No.]

To be sure, did you try to open a new stream?

you could though self shilling in /wvt/ is another option as well

[Anonymous No.]

>>2117042
Yeah I've gone live, copied the popout chat link, and posted it as a browser source. Each time starting that process from scratch and each time it giving the same error

[Anonymous No.]

>>2117065
I'm spitballing here but what is the stream set to? Unlisted, private, or public?

[Anonymous No.]

>>2117140
Private. It COULD be because I'm not public but it seemed to be fine private in the tutorial videos I saw.
I'll give it a shot. At this point I'm willing to try anything

I’ve drawn up my shitty model and done a test stream to no one with a png, and everything felt great. But now I look back on this and have this weird feeling hitting me that this whole thing is crazy and stupid. Anyone else get this? It’s like you suddenly realise that you are really doing this.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2117406
yup

[Anonymous No.]

>>2117406
I've been doing this on and off. Feeling like "this is great and this is what I want to do" when streaming, but when I don't feel like streaming it's just like "what the fuck am I doing?"

[Anonymous No.]

>>2117425
>>2117468
It probably goes away after a while. But good to know it’s not just me.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2117406
Yep. That's nerves, my man. At worst it might be self sabotage.

Push through. Know that those negative feelings is your brain trying to hold you back, and that the positive energy you have riding the high of a test stream is how you really feel.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2117045
Thanks dawg. Yeah it's a fun and easy-going style. (As far as 3D modelling it goes)

[Anonymous No.]

>>2117495
The funny part is that I've been streaming on and off for like 6 years and even got affiliate at some point. But because I've taken so many breaks I've never amassed a stable audience. vtubing has been making me want to be stable and have a cute avatar, but there's still nerves there of getting into the whole vtuber community itself.

[Anonymous No.]

Okay so like, probably most if not all of you are men with manly voices, so what is your plan for trying to be a cute v-tuber waifu anime girl if you sound like a man.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2118045
Poll from a few months ago said 40 percent of us are biological women actually

To answer your question though, I like to think the niche I've found is untapped to the point of being able to draw attention

[Anonymous No.]

>>2118045
just babiniku? it's a widely accepted thing among vtubers.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2118065
Im not saying you can't or it won't be accepted, but why would people rather watch a guy pretending to be a girl than an actual woman doing what you are doing.

>>2118060
That seems fair

[Anonymous No.]

>>2118108
>why would people rather watch a guy pretending to be a girl than an actual woman doing what you are doing.
because... people don't watch vtubers for whatever junk is between their legs? people watch vtubers because they're entertaining and who cares if the person is male or female as long as it's fun?

[Anonymous No.]

>>2118045
Truly I think a moe girl with an extremely deep man voice would be funny, but the gimmick wouldn't hold attention long term

[Anonymous No.]

Fuck me, the Streamlabs addon solution isn't working either. Or unprivating the stream.
No error using the Streamlabs browser widget, but the chats simply don't appear.

I don't know what the fuck the deal is.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2118060
Not gonna ask what the niche is, but any tips on finding one? So far the strategies I have is keyword search and „throw things at the wall until something sticks“. There’s also been some suggestions on what wvt wants.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2118151
Exactly

[Anonymous No.]

>>2118151
sucks that there are so many gimmick streamers who just don't provide any value. i remember the mega chin chad vtuber, fat bastard project, etc. all turned out to be boring as shit.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2118199
Basically I'm focusing on pandering to a fanbase of a specific franchise I love first and foremost and hoping the established fanbase of that franchise will bring in viewers who are willing to check me out based on curiosity from seeing a "[franchise they like] vtuber"
I'm coupling that idea with frequent youtube discussion content to hopefully slip into the algorithm.

No clue if any of this will work yet, but it's worth a shot as far as I'm concerned. Worst case scenario I have some fun doing it

[Anonymous No.]

just checking in - still no views aside from mine on my hololive audition

[Anonymous No.]

Update: got my chat messages to pop up finally by straight up making the stream public

Thanks for the help everyone

[Anonymous No.]

Some advice, altho it will come off as harsh but its the reality of life: Not everyone will make it.
Actually, the vast majority wont "make it" (depending on your definition of making it), specially in the auditions, considering how many people audition and the small ammount that actually gets picked. Does that mean you should give up? No, but just keep in mind this possibility and be realistic, don try to put your entire emotional health and self worth on it. Maybe its not for you, maybe it is, but if its not, there's others things for you out there.

Most importantly, if you do make it, always be humble and thankful, and try to give back to the community when you can.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2118262
I should also mention that I'm also going for a character style that I haven't seen attempted yet in a genera thats surprisingly underrepresented

[Anonymous No.]

>>2118323
I had the same thing happen, if you're streaming on youtube I rec just using the pop out function on chat and copy paste that in as browser source in OBS.

You can use this website to change the look of the chat: https://chatv2.septapus.com/

Copy paste the CSS in obs too. The only downside is having to change the url for every stream but it's a lot less buggy.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2118152
The Browser Widget is going to look blank until people actually chat. You can test it by typing in a few messages

[Anonymous No.]

>>2118600
Yeah I was. I figured everything out.

It was because the stream wasn't public

What is life if not going on despite the certain oblivion?

But yeah, agreed. This place needs more genuine tough love. A certain someone has said you can be incredible or forgettable, there‘s no in-between.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2118664
Its hard to balance either giving too much hope to someone and filling them up with hopes and dreams just for them to horribly crash and send them spiraling into depression and just being straight up rude and making people scared of even trying.
>you can be incredible or forgettable, there‘s no in-between
Yeah this seems very true, and something to remember is the odds are stacked up against you. Everyone is competing for the same spotlight as you (much like being any kind of youtuber or an actor or a mainstream singer), and behind every success story there are many failures. Don't see it as a waste of time, as you are learning new things that can help you on other ways.

Why does it seem like vtubers never use alerts or stream overlays?

[Anonymous No.]

>>2122323
alerts are annoying as fuck. the fuck is the point of stream overlays when everything is already in the description or twitch panels?

[Anonymous No.]

no one gives a fuck about branding until you're hitting 100+ viewers. "wow, look at how fancy that 1+self viewer vtuber's branding is!" said no one fucking ever

[Anonymous No.]

>>2122453
Well I never said that the newer VTubers need it. And some overlays encourage viewers to follow/subscribe/dono because they like seeing their names on there, it's an obnoxious form of interaction but it works sometimes.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2122323
I remember watching Trick2G in his prime and he was thanking subs every 4 seconds. Alertless big streamers don't have to wreck the flow of the stream itself.
If you're small notifications might be infrequent enough that you can have them on no-cost.

How is OBS with recording videos? Does it automatically crush audio and stuff to make streaming better? I noticed when I record with it it defaults to 720p

what does this even mean?

"compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others."
aka just try to sound comfortable on stream and not like super quiet and shy, or uncomfortable/cringey, be warm and welcoming and make people feel comfortable to wanna talk to you and be inviting to them to participate.

Language study content is fairly common for Vtubers and it's always stupid fun for the native speakers of the target language. As with everything else, gotta find a way to make it entertaining and not too repetitive, but language learning gives you a lot of content almost for free.

Hell, people watch Avocado do Duolingo reps every day.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2133331
Have you thought about what you could do besides just studying a language on stream and still be on topic?
Since you know about linguistics you should know one or two things about cultural history and word origins, so if you have you studied a piece of classic literature you could take it apart on stream and explain some intentions of the writer or something.
You could teach advanced English words, phrases and idioms.
Perhaps you could create a fictional language that you will want to speak often with your avatar and even be able to teach the viewers.
Or maybe even copy the premise of this channel and teach vocabulary of mostly obscure real languages https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpJtpB6phQSmGYqXwHMoW3g/videos

If I set that audio output to the loudest volume I may here a static noise similar to a crumpling plastic wrap or a paper note several feet away, but I have a shitty headphone right now, you maybe hear it louder, but the compressed sound you will stream/upload will make it unnoticeable, I guess, also a lot viewers of your target group will have a slight hearing damage anyway unironically because of years listening to loud electronic music so they will have a hard time hearing something that insignificant from the raw audio

It's good to check, you mentioned you were trying to project your voice but depending on what you were doing that scratchiness could be related to more than one thing.

I'm trying to come up with some references for clothing for a fantasy bunny guy.

Not sure how to really make it 'work' yet but I'll come up with something I'm sure.

I think I can hear your "problem" and to "fix it" you need a new better mic,
Seems like your problem is how the mic is catching your lower notes (you have a deep voice), so you need a mic better suited for it.
You could try recording something and playing around with an EQ (Equalizer) to see if that helps but idk much about audio editing, so i dont know if you need to raise or lower the high frequencies or the low ones, just play around.
However, for streaming its alright.

But again, its not a big issue. It took me several tries and you pointing out the exact time to even realize what you were talking about.
You are just starting so don't even worry about having studio quality sound, or buying a new mic for something you dont know if its gonna be profitable. Just start out and if you make it, then you can start investing in better equipment for your streams.
But what you have right now is fine, I mean it. Dont obsess over it. Literally no one is gonna be able to tell.

One last thing is maybe you could try moving a bit more farther from the mic, but you would then need to talk a bit louder to compensate.

no. there's no demand for "just a vtuber who is male"

there's a lot of factors going on with the holostars. being corporate (but also corporate not caring about them, or advertising), to the primarily jp-based audience (aside from the handful of EOPs that give them a visit). it's kinda difficult to draw conclusions from the HoloStars and try to apply them to EN male vtubers. but if tradational face-cam streaming has anything to say, it's just about being entertaining. (vtubing or otherwise)

[Anonymous No.]

>Surprised there was auditions, thought it was a nepotism/connections thing to become a corporate vtuber.
For any company that wants to be successful that'd be a terrible idea. They need talent unless they're just starting.

And as for male vtubers, the problem is that a lot of people just kinda... expect a vtuber to be a 'cute anime girl' in some way shape or form. Not being waifu-able kinda works against you but in the end that only matters for first impressions. Past that point you gotta be entertaining, just like female vtubers.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2144387
eh, you know what he means. Its no lie the vtuber market is dominated by females and incels with money are what pay their bills at first and help them start out.
but to answer >>2144354 yes, and since its still small in that are you do have a bigger chance at making it if you stand out.
Like there's so many pros and cons between being a male and female in here, but the biggest pro right now is that there isn't much going on. You just need one good idea to blow up.
Look at Corpse Husband, he is thriving thru the female and gay incels.

[Anonymous No.]

also keep in mind that vtuber =/= anime. you can probably appeal more to the broader western audience if you have something that's more mainstream than just anime (even if anime is growing more mainstream with the zoomer generations). it's a virtual avatar. hell, the furries even have their own vtubers.

The biggest male Vtuber isn't either one of those types.

[Anonymous No.]

I mean, the two main femboys from HoloStars had various issues. Kira had huge health issues that lead to him graduating (and was why he rarely streamed), and... something happened with Karou to cause him to suddenly graduate. Honestly Karou's debut and early content was a good burst of attention for HoloStars.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2145850
In any case, going for that route isn't going to get one to, at the very least, Aruran-esque numbers. The person will need to be entertaining. Pandering to low quality viewers only works against the VTuber in the end.
Kuzuha isn't either type and he's doing better than many holos by doing mostly APEX. Then again, he's a bit of an enigma, especially for those who like the Holostars.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2146081
Kuzuha doesn't even know how he got so popular, but speculates that he just happened to be lucky enough to be a funny vtuber to watch who was consistently playing Apex (at a pretty good skill level) when the Covid pandemic hit along with the vtuber craze. and as someone who was regularly streaming, just happened to be in the right place and right time at the moment. if he was streaming even half as much, he may not have lucked out and we'd be looking at someone else.

>Pandering to low quality viewers only works against the VTuber in the end.
Doesn't matter either way. Vtuber design is merely a method to catch attention. No matter what it comes down to content & personality. However, having a more eye-catching design will get more people to look at you in the first place. Auran took some time to get to his 90k-ish subscribers, whereas Kira has 50k+ and he's fucking retired (and barely streamed before retirement).

There's no real "low quality viewers" unless you are trying to attract the attention of people who would have no real ongoing interest in your channel (say by having a design/theme that doesn't match your content at all).

there really isn't. and twitch actively works against you on that. their entire model is ad views, which means constantly keeping the big names up, front and center. this is why twitch has almost always been criticized for the near zero discoverability it offers starting streamers. the only bonus you get is ~maybe~ getting raided by someone bigger than you, but even that's not reliable for growth.

You only really need a webcam or a mic to start without money. Using Vroid Studio, if you follow some good tutorials, you can make a real damn good 3D model, which can then be tracked either through webcam or through an iPhone with face tracking in either VSeeFace or Luppet (Luppet if you have a webcam is better but more expensive at 50 or so dollars, while VSeeFace is free but less expressive overall unless you have an iPhone). You can easily then just use OBS, lab up some of your own overlay designs in GIMP (which is surprisingly feature-rich; you can do a lot of stuff in this), and set up things with streamlabs, as well as get some royalty-free background music (Dova Project and Harris Heller's StreamBeats are good for this, and Harris Heller is a good watch all around for streaming advice; he's a lot less focused on Twitch than Devin Nash and goes into the nitty gritty about how to make bad equipment or mics far better, and even has a couple of good videos on OBS and how to work with it and set it up; his channel name is Alpha Gaming). Look for some royalty-free stuff for backgrounds or just even make your own, and there you go - no money needed.

Of course, this is assuming you already own a mic and a webcam, which if you're wanting to become a VTuber you probably do.

New Steam Accounts are generally easy; you can use Family Sharing on them, and most Vtubers are savvy enough to keep their steam pages from showing up and showing their other accounts.
