Anybody know why my Streamlabs alerts won't make sound? They are fine when I have Obs open but then when I go back and rewatch the footage it's silent

Realistically speaking, what's the best place to focus on when trying to make a financial return as a male envtuber? It's gotta be Memberships, right? It's extremely unlikely that you're gonna be able to pull of some "ara ara" meme and get superchats, and you're not gonna be getting them by "blessed screams" when playing horror games.

So the focus should be first on creating good content that provides enough value for viewers that they'll want to join your membership, right? But how would you justify that? Feel like I'd need to offer something extra on top of just making good content for people to want to pay monthly for it. Unless I set it to something low, like $3 a month? I have no idea how to manage and prepare for the actual business aspect of this.

>>2292425
Generally, just make good content. If you make good content, eventually people will want to support you. Superchats aren't really a dependable source of content unless some community meme can be used to incentivize it. Membership-only content will spawn from discussions with chat, you'll be able to get a feeling from them as to what they want. In the twitch world, sub-only streams aren't really a thing but custom emotes they can use elsewhere on twitch (or on discord if set up) actually become a major incentive for subscribing. Get good enough emotes (and a bunch of them, which takes growing your community) and people will subscribe just for emotes without watching you.

Yeah. I know my perspective on superchat income has been heavily biased due to all the numbers dickwaving here and from watching big name holos. Realistically for an indie, those aren't gonna happen, which is why I wanna focus on the reliable one (memberships/subs).

I'm still kinda feeling out either Youtube or Twitch, mostly because my content is kinda split between livestreaming games and pre-recorded stuff (so I'm kinda leaning more Youtube). But yeah, if I ever hit the monetization milestone, I'm thinking of $3-$4 a month as well, especially since my target audience will be other university students like myself.

To get impressions and engagement you need to sign to a company with it's own follower base though, and all these new companies popping up have even less exposure than you currently do, probably.

Even if you sign with niji or holo, in the end you still need to know the basic tricks of farming new views. Social Media shilling, collabs, making use of edited youtube videos and shorts, creating your own thumbnails, titles and descriptions that are SEO friendly. I think all the hololive girls that are near or over 1 mill have mastered "getting their name out there" on their own.

The middling and shit tier hololive girls are the ones that don't know and refuse to learn how to play the content creator game and expect their agency to handle everything for them.

I'm going to ask questions to CyberLive after I make a burner twitter account. Here's the draft, anything anyone else wants to ask?

"Hello there, I'd like to ask a few questions about your company in relation to your vtuber hiring drive if you don't mind. I don't see a post on reddit where I can comment. You don't have to answer everything.

Are you modeled like Hololive in that your feel the characters should be "idols" or have to sing? I see you say you offer music production as a support.

Do you know around the number of talents you are seeking for generation one?

While you said both genders are free to apply, do you have an idea of how many male or females you want in the first generation?

Will the character design and themes be predetermined for recruited talent, or will you work with matching their personalities? Aka, are the silhouettes in your website's graphics pre-made avatars that will be assigned to the talents?

As a new company, can I ask about the some of the qualifications of your current staff? You said you are developing unique software, what size of dev team do you have?

How will you generate revenue if the talents are not bringing in enough numbers by the time your capital depletes?

Also in line with idols and the software to hold live events with the use of 3D/AR: is this singing and dancing mostly? Will you expect/prefer your talents to be able to travel to your location and put on events as a factor in hiring them?"

>>	Anonymous Tue, Apr 6, 2021 23:36:24 No.2296101 >>2295917 i honestly believe that asking about 3D is a futile effort since no start up company would have the capital to do something like that. otherwise, - what protections can you offer your talents should a copyright dispute arise?

They specifically listed that they are working on 3D tech in their website, so I think it's good to ask it to see if they lie or buzzword about it. And yeah, that's a good one, I'll add it. Though it looks like I can't DM them. I'll try their reddit.

I've found that as I've gotten older I'm less likely to try out new games even if I own them and will instead play something that can be done in short bursts like Apex.
For this reason I've been thinking of becoming a streamer for awhile as a way to force myself to stick to a schedule and play new games since I really like having video games be a part of my life.
I figured I'd commission a vtuber avatar for my streams because I like anime and enjoy watching vtubers and like the idea of the extra layer of interaction that face-cams allow but am way too awkward to show my real face on stream.
Would a chill laid-back dude who just plays games on stream like normal get any viewers or do you absolutely need to have a gimmick as a male vtuber?

Okay, I sent the questions in; I used a ProtonMail instead of a gmail though because it’s safer.
Also, I did ask to clarify if they want talents outside of the US and they said they did despite being based there.

Ollie made membership in just over 4 months. Any other indies know if this is something realistically achievable as an indie if someone were to maintain the same streaming consistency or is this mostly just due to the hololive buff? From my reps, I'm pretty confident that I can do 3-4 streams consistently per week, each about 2 hours long, which is roughly the same schedule Ollie had.

ugh don't remind me. With Hololive I actually wouldn't be too upset if they didn't view all submissions but Niji's had a shorter timeframe and most likely much less applications and they never watched mine either. And from what I've gathered they didn't watch a lot of other people's

affiliate is significantly easier to hit and is basically the very, very distant precursor to it
unless you're someone with an already established base you're gonna be staying as an affiliate for awhile until you hit the numbers needed to be partner
there'd be no point in staying as an affiliate once you meet partner requirements since its an upgrade in pretty much every way

i feel like for game streams, playing more niche stuff/newer stuff that isn't super popular gets people to notice you easier than youtube does; youtube's algorithm does not seem kind to streamers that are just starting up
also, things like emotes and monetization are significantly easier to unlock on twitch; youtube requires 1k subs and some amount of total hours watched while twitch's requirements are much more lenient
also twitch has clipping and channel points which adds a lot more interactivity

> -Is talking about inspirations and referencing other Vtubers is a good idea?
> -I assume more of the corporative streamers are not available, but are indie streamers the type to do cross promotions or collabs? Is there a marketing agency that works primarily with Vtubers?

An important thing you need to remember is that vtubers are simply content creators that run with a virtual avatar, and are essentially acting as a character for people's entertainment. As for your questions:

There's no quantifiable level of importance for pre-recorded content, but they can be pretty good since people are more likely to watch those instead of vods when looking at your channel for the first time.
Generic lore is enough, deep backstory isn't a draw.
Yes.
Yes.
I'll answer this at the end.
Cross-platform is pretty common amongst youtubers, there's no reason for you not to do so since it increases awareness.

Good kayfabe is not about presenting the illusion that you are your character wholesale, because nobody is actually going to believe you're from Atlantis or you're the grim reaper's apprentice, especially when you end up talking about Barbie Horse Adventures or drunk Whataburger shenanigans, but simply saying nobody gives a shit is reductionist and, quite frankly, "weak shit".
As a vtuber, you're supposed to be both a character and an entertainer, and a balance needs to be struck to make sure people know you're dedicated to the character, but not so far out there with it that it begins to hamper your potential as an entertainer, such as getting in the way of jokes and stories. The character is going to be a part of your charm and presentation, not an illusion, basically. The majority of fans you might end up getting might not give a shit, but it'll still be fuckin weird when the smartly dressed catboy uwu streamer reveals himself publicly as Bearded Bob Bobberson from Minnesota.

If you network correctly, and more specifically if you network correctly /here/ you will get consistent raids.

We have homegrown vtubers at every level, from approaching 200 conc. viewers(nina), 50-100(Nyaru, Yoro, Kongou, Megbert, Arypie, Spacer), to beginners that get around 10 avg viewers.

Even those beginners are pretty consistently raided. Network, get raided.

More importantly, I see very VERY few twitch streamers approach a raid properly. They get raided, they get excited and thank the raider, welcome each new sub individually, then go back to streaming. You should thank the raider, you should welcome subs, but these are your second and third priority. Your number one priority is to HAVE MATERIAL PREPARED to throw out at your influx of new viewers. Entertain them, show them why you are a streamer worth following and worth watching, or they will look down their list at a streamer they like and they will leave.

Sing, give them a funny story, do an awesome impression, DO SOMETHING to entertain them. Then thank the raider, thank the new followers, and go back to streaming.

Twitch partner program works in mysterious ways.

Twitch often promotes one hit wonders to partner, and then those mooks sink back down to 20-30 conc. viewer average and never again rise up past 75.

On the other end, I personally know two streamers who have been rejected FOUR times in a row, despite having over 100 average viewers for all two months they've applied.

On simple answer is that twitch probably has an internal method of sorting out viewers coming from raids. This is why nyaru makes sure to ask raiders to remove the referral raid line in their browser bar and re-enter the stream.

Another answer is that there is probably a pretty thorough review of your content, and if there's too much copywrited material, too much controversial topics brought up in your stream, or if the wrench reviewing your channel simply doesn't like you, they throw you back to the dogs.

> -How important is edited pre-recorded content for the VTubers audiences in general? Can it be made a focus for a character?
Livestreams allow for interaction with chat, prerecorded shit does not, and belongs to outdated, uninteractive legacy media.
> -Is it important to have a full themeing and backstory that integrates a group, or just making generic lore should be enough?
Lore is so irrelevant and filmsy it may not even survive a vtuber's debut video unscathed, and can be rewritten at any moment.
> -Is talking about inspirations and referencing other Vtubers is a good idea?
You make yourself a target for said vtubers, their antis and/or their fans without getting anything valuable back. If you absolutely must, at least ask for permission first.
> -I assume more of the corporative streamers are not available, but are indie streamers the type to do cross promotions or collabs? Is there a marketing agency that works primarily with Vtubers?
The marketing agency that works primarily with vtubers is a vtuber group, i.e. the thing you call corporation and that usually calls itself a talent agency or entertainment company. Indies don't get sponsorships because would-be sponsors don't know they exist, and even if they did they would have to go out of their way to communicate with retarded anime girls, instead of their fellow entrepreneurs or otherwise professionals of management, marketing or law. I'd call myself an influencer rather than a vtuber.
> -How crucial is keeping privacy, secrets and "keyfabe" in general?
Somebody who would ask whether there is anything important about handling confidential information as if it's confidential, or mistake it for a particular case of kayfabe, is precisely the kind of person that auditions try to eliminate ASAP.
> -How common is cross platform (Youtube, Twitch, other social media) content? Surprised I can't really find much on this specific topic.
Twitch streamers upload clips on their YouTube accounts, and everyone is on Twitter, even people who don't create any content whatsoever. A few vtubers in Nijisanji had more Twitter followers than YouTube subscribers. If you're not using these social media you're probably Chinese. Japanese vtubers use Twitcast for the occasional audio-only stream.

So recently I've been told to try my hand at auditioning for one of the Japanese talent agencies by a decent amount of friends/audience. I'm a guy. It probably wouldn't hurt to try, but I'm feeling like it's best to go in prepared since to be honest, I never really thought about being a Vtuber before. But I also don't want to take it lightly because I know it ain't. I've been following the technology aspect since Kizuna Ai's debut (and arguably Hatsune Miku's first holo concert). I like streaming the vidya and know streamer culture, but when I stream I mostly like just telling people stories about my odd circumstances due to my country of origin and life events. My twitch account's got uploads from more than 6 years ago, but I've never followed a schedule or done streaming outside of the relatively small game community I already administer.
I'm fluent in English and Spanish, but I moved to Tokyo from abroad a few months ago (Yes, in the middle of the pandemic) to finish polishing my conversational Japanese to get it to par for other reasons not related to Vtubing.

tl;dr - I guess what I'm curious about is if there demand for a Tokyo-based male gaijin in talent agencies, who doesn't have a tight streamer history? I've been told to try for a spot in Holostars and such but I'm having imposter syndrome.

It's fine, I get that girls will always be innately more popular due to the type of audience this niche gets, but I've yet to see a guy that can truly bridge Japan's talent agencies and internet culture with western perspectives as a Vtuber in EN/ES <-> JP. Not sure if that's something people would want, but as a viewer I'd like it myself so it's something I'd make. The fact that the opinion is split is useful in itself so thanks for that.

Thanks, that's reassuring. I meant imposter as a basic streamer, since I don't know if I can consider myself one given how much effort other people put into their streams compared to my own. But you're right, that's the kind of confidence I should project if I really want a shot.

I want to be able to do karaoke streams on YouTube, but how do I go around that while monetized? Is it through the Joysound game? I’ve tried playing some music on YouTube livestreams before and within the first few seconds of the song it’ll get the stream killed. :(

For copyrighted sound lines I think the bot system is just as fast as the ones for mainstream music.
Have not seen how Hololive does it? Set up a special screen for your avatar and some items like drink PNGs and only record your voice, because you want to tell your viewers to WATCH ALONG, they don't want to hear your voice with music in the background.

5ch had the same argument about kayfabe, but they settled it with numbers once and for all.
>Pekora has the biggest number among all Vtubers
>Pekora cares about kayfabe(didn't drop the her "peko")
>kayfabe good
No one argues about it on 5ch ever since.

I agree with them on this in terms of building a fake personality.

Sakura Miko was originally a soft speaking, clam, onee-chan type of character in 2018.
But after interacting with Korone and Pekora in 2019, she adopted their energetic and overreacting type of streaming style and became more successful and interesting.

Kayfabe is not everything, but it definitely plays a big role of making someone big.
Imagine how many free advertisement Pekora got from her fans spamming peko everywhere.

Vshojo is anime styled, the domoclique is anime styled, you bet NijiEN will be anime styled, even larger indies like that new panda guy are anime styled too. It's what fans want. Personally, it's what I want too.
If you don't like anime or weebs honestly I'm not really sure why you picked this up in the first place.

juniper designed herself and is a massive success at vshojo level, although everyone /here/ seems to hate her

arypie did her own art and rig from scratch with no formal training, but I dont think any of it was recorded in streams/vods so that process is lost forever

That's not really the point of Vtuber kayfabe
The point of Vtuber kayfabe is to make you believe that instead of a girl behind the avatar doing stuff, the person streaming is actually a bunny girl, a necromancer, or some kind of mythical creature. Most people enjoy that sort of kayfabe (like most people like to pretend Calli is actually a soul reaper) even if they don't like getting into the lore that much

Don’t worry Anon; a lot of people don’t even actually get the audition in
Personally I think getting an Audition in matters more than making the video super high quality/overproduced/overplanned. Some agencies like Nijisanji probably care less about the actual audition (Fumino Tamaki got into Niji with an audio audition and presumably a pretty good application) and more about the rest of the application.

Do you think how many views a specific audition video gets in particular matters when it comes to smaller agencies?
Bigger agencies of course will probably view multiple times if they really want you but for smaller agencies the number doesn't matter I would think?

I would say the more the better. If you are being selected for an interview at least a few different employees will be watchijg your video. However, if you are barely making the interview cut (i.e. they're deciding between you and another person to be the final interviewee) you may have even more views since they'll be reviewing your video more.

Interesting; I only got one view but my video was very short (the Audition thing said ‘1-5 mins’ so I made a shorter vid since I have no idea what to do except ramble about nothing for the remaining 4 or so minutes after I introduce myself) so that may be the main reason it was shorter/had less views

I need to stop worrying about in general but does youtube eats it's analytics/are unreliable? I saw three views by hour view, and then I got another one at some point but now the hour view only shows two, removing one hour that I know was there before. Again, I should just ignore it, but I was curious to the time frame of how long in between views but it seems unreliable. Still, 4 views today over a 5 hour period is probably good?
