Hey /asp/, maybe you can give me some insight. I've got a fully working Live2d model (a little scuffed but I'm working those kinks out), I am a girl with a girl avatar (not a man putting on a voice or anything like that), and I've been streaming for 3+ hours each day at least yet I haven't managed to pull in any followers. My audio is a little echoy because I can't currently do a proper setup for it, but am I just being a bad streamer? I usually don't have any dead time, and even when I play a game with lots of viewers I hardly get anyone checking out my channel and no one that sticks around. Any tips/ideas as to what I could be doing wrong?

You are probably not a good streamer or Vtuber, but even if you were one of the bests it's normal to stream to 0 or just a couple of people, you have to promote yourself or grind and hope you get lucky. Just stream as a hobby and stop caring about numbers.

For anyone who's auditioned before (looking at CyberLive atm), what do you usually do for your audition video/audio? 3-5 minute introductions seems standard. Do you usually introduce yourself out of character? Do you try character voices to show vocal range? Do you talk about acting/singing/content experience in the intro video? Curious what other auditioning anons have done in the past to get an idea of how these things go.

it's generally recommended that indie vtubers (at least on Youtube) avoid doing ASMR. Youtube has been cracking down on vtuber asmr (for some reason) back between December 2020 and March 2021. they've shut down a lot of indie channels and refuse to accept appeals.

if any femanons are trying this, just stick with twitch. youtube has a stick up their ass regarding this for some unknown fucking reason.

While vtubers are still a relatively obscure thing, sure. Unfortunately enough thanks to retarded watame/koroneposters and falseflaggers, they're already becoming increasingly disliked on other boards. Remember that while this place is on average slightly nicer than the rest, you only need to take a look at /qa/ to see the type of schizo that you share the site with and the last thing you want is to hook an autistic anti like that.

Is cultivating a presence on Youtube and Twitter long before your debut a good call? I've got the ideas down but lack the materials, so I figure I can make some content in the meantime so I wouldn't be streaming to an empty void when the day comes.

youtube - you can pretty much change the channel name and username display name whenever you want without limit (i haven't hit one and i've been flipping through like half dozen brand names)

twitch - i think this is limited to 1 change per month, you can't change your display name away from your channel, but you can capitalize letters around, that's about it.

twitter - you can change you display name whenever you want, but changing the @handle is once a month(?)

shill yourself on /wvt/, not here. it's really not that big. if you're a male vtuber, expect maybe 20 viewers from /vt/ to give a shit long enough to sit more than 5 minutes in your stream. if you're a female vtuber, you might close to 50 viewers from /vt/. it's not that big.

give me value. anything valuable.

too many streamers (both male and female) just play games, and that's it. they just want to be a cool friend, and that's it. you have to ask yourself, "why would a viewer give up 2 hours of their lives to come and see me?" what are you providing in exchange for that?

[Anonymous No.]

>>2905062
Got it, make sure you have something of worth to offer the audience and make their time watching worthwhile. Do you think capitalizing on a skill might help? I know Youtube and Google make obtaining knowledge in a lot of subjects easily attainable, but what subjects and topics would play into the strengths of a streamer?

[Anonymous No.]

>>2905062
Why would anyone spend 2 or more hours on the garbage dump aka the internet in general? Let’s face it, the standards for „valuable information“ have hit the bottom of the barrel for the streaming audience.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2905390
skill is good. you have to realize that youtube and google make a killing off the fantasy of obtaining knowledge, but not actually obtaining knowledge. it's why shit like "here's how i became fluent in X language in just THREE WEEKS!" or "3 easy exercises to learn how to SING LIKE A PRO!" and shit like that get clicks and views.

so if you actually have a skill and can utilize it, then by all means go for it. but realize that most people are lazy and don't actually care enough to obtain any real knowledge beyond trivia-level.

>>2905446
yeah, that's why "educational tiktok" has been blowing up past half year. people try to condense shit down to 30-60 seconds of a "hey did you know!?" in the style of Hank Green where they grossly oversimplify shit to the point where it's often wrong.

That's sounds like a good plan. I know a lot of myth and folklore, do you think I can play into that?

[Anonymous No.]

>>2906103
yes. here's an example youtube channel that i think does this perfectly.
https://www.youtube.com/user/jastownsendandson

their content revolves around historical shit in the 1800s. they make ~10 minute long pre-recorded videos with some editing to showcase some cool thing (a log canoe, some food recipe, etc.) they also host 1 hour long live Q&A sessions where they take superchat questions from viewers. (if they were expanding out to adapt to tiktok, they could have really short 1 minute long tidbit skits too.)

being a vtuber doesnt' mean you just play games. that's merely a carryover from livestreaming being predominantly about video games. expand your content to something more unique and different.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2906311

The reason that it's overdone and and not good enough, because most people mistake themselves being "chill" when in fact they are boring to watch. If you just like streaming while you play games, that's fine, just don't expect a lot of growth.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2916366
If you're asking for a niche market or a 'hook' for viewers, there really isn't any that you can point to with 100% certainty that doesn't involve your strengths and skills. The only real starting 'buff' is being female, everything after that is mystery meat. You're better off doing stuff you find interesting and engaging, taking risks in things you feel would succeed and learning from failures where they don't, rather than trying to farm views with random shit.

[schizopost nobody asked for No.]

I feel a lot of aspiring chubas with small audiences (especially the kind that play vidya) should take inspiration from someone like Jerma, or at least Jerma's streaming style if not his content. Dude's channel exploded in the past year, but he still treats his streams the same as back when he started. There's no dead air unless it's part of a joke, he knows when and how to rant, when to derail, when to reference stuff or rile his viewers up and how to handle failure - turning it into a joke for people to laugh at. He did this Minecraft stream last year that was objectively dogshit, the server kept crashing, his team made a bunch of minigames that were basically all the same stuff repeating three times in a row, half the scripts weren't working but he still ended up making it into an absolutely hilarious disaster because he kept pushing the absurdity on and on.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that you shouldn't be afraid of failing. It's not 'just b urself', of course there's so much more to it, but treat that shit as a learning experience and not as a get rich quick scheme cause lord knows you're better off selling your feet pics to that /r9k/ guy that wants you to stomp on bugs instead of chubaing around

[Anonymous No.]

>>2918395
>just be a shittier version of Jerma and get called out on plagiarizing the content

[Anonymous No.]

>>2918450
>plagiarizing the content

i said take inspiration from the style, who gives a fuck about the content, he streams complete shit half the time nowadays. It's literally his streaming ability that I'm talking about, the way he interacts with chat and paces the stream.

Also even Jerma started as a shitty version of a generic 2010, his early videos were super jank, he had the shitty tuber voice, remember to like and subscribe but he found his fucking way. Originality's overrated.

Twitch is shit for new streamers. Content is ordered by popularity and no one is going to scroll 500 pages to look for someone with 3 viewers.

You'll have better luck growing by making clips of yourself and putting them on other platforms. YT is hard to grow on, see if you can make friends with clip posters and ask them to share your clip.

[Anonymous No.]

making content for twitter helped me grow the fastest. short clips + memes will give you a good following, and it directly translates to viewers. I've gotten 20-30 average viewers more on my streams by making content on twitter for a month.

Take the following with a grain of salt, but...
I definitely understand being discouraged, but you have to remember that they're picking like 5 out of thousands of applicants. Competition's gonna be rough. But keep in mind not every Hololive member passed their first audition. I would definitely recommend to try to grow more and then try again the next time auditions open, and if by aiming lower you mean aiming for a different agency, then that could help too (doesn't mean you have to stay there and never join Hololive, it's just more experience!)

Twitch is bad for new streamers, GREAT for new VTubing streamers (or anyone in a large community with a baseline viewrship but we're talking vtubers here) because of the high level of community support when shilling yourself. Almost no vtubers of note are doing well on Youtube at all and struggle to get monetization, I've even seen a few moving over and doing better immediately. It takes a lot more skill comparatively to do well on Youtube as a streamer in general.

People need to stop pushing Youtube already as a streaming platform and stick to using it to upload video content to in order to funnel people TO your Twitch. It's seriously fucking these new people up.

There's honestly not many, and most of the ones who do filter people. It's just not what westerners are looking for. I think they want more "realistic" personalities for the most part. Things that are just an extension of the streamer's personality.

I gave her a quick look and yeah, I see what you mean.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2937721
Advantage? It's a male voice, so a male model. Don't really know what you mean by 'advantage' though since there's less of a market for male vtubers. However if you meant like a style of character, it more comes down to how you act and present yourself rather than just the voice itself. Going for a fatherly figure won't matter if you yourself don't act like one.

All of your streams should use your voice often. You should basically never stop talking, no matter what you are doing.

I don't even hate trannies, I hate that their attempts at being girls is just them copying the anime girls they want to fuck. It's creepy, gross and insincere. You are lying to them and yourself if you think that nasally, falsetto sounds anything like a girl. It's copying an exaggeration of female characters without realizing WHAT they should be exaggerating or copying 1:1 in the first place. Trying to copy the high pitch and 'uwuu im so cute' aspect of anime girls is not how one acts/becomes a woman anon, and trying to imply otherwise is fetishizing at the worst and delusional at the best.

At what point should you consider getting a Discord for your community?

[Anonymous No.]

>>2940668
You're welcome! It doesn't sound like too much of a concern to me. Maybe try using your model, and if you pull some viewers, you could ask them what they think. Better yet, you could be open about how your model is a WIP and that you're working hard on it.

>>2940895
Never. In all seriousness though, it depends on the size and qualities of the fanbase you attract. Also remember that you'll inevitably need moderation for a Discord server, and there's endless possibilities for drama from both within and without. I moderated a fairly large Discord for some time, so I'm pretty pessimistic about Discord and really any online community in general. In the end, it's up to you. You know your audience better than I do, and you also know what kind of bullshit you're willing to put up with better than I do. I personally don't think being available to your audience on a Discord server is a good idea, regardless of your size. Any other anons with more specific Vtuber experience with Discords could probably provide more insight.

i guess the only editing i can do is clip out the beginning and make it jump straight to the "HEY YOUTUBE, IT'S YA BOI AND I'M BRINGING YA S-

maybe that'll keep the monkeys entertained for longer than literally 30 seconds. fucking bite sized media like twitter and tiktok is ruining everyone's attention spans.

Be very selective with who you collab with

Bare minimum, interact with them at least two or three times through gaming together or voice chatting before committing to a collab.

If you don't mesh, the quality of the collab will be shit. worst case scenario your own reputation will suffer because of it

If a guy wants to vtube, should his signature character be always male, or a female one is ok too?

Asking because I usually draw and come up with cute girl characters, but creating a boy character is beyond me, sadly.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2956670
Personally, I don't see anything wrong with it. There are plenty of guys with female avatars, and if you'd rather be a cute girl than a boy, I say go for it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2956670
Literally anything could work, it just depends. Ask yourself if you have the ability/voice/personality to use a female character. If you have trouble with drawing boys but are fine at drawing girls, how are you at drawing androgynous characters? That's a decent middle ground if you're bad at creating explicitly masculine characters.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2956670
I say whatever fits the voice the most. I like cute chuubas same as anyone, but you have to own the voice. When I hear a male failing to sound more feminine just because his avatar is cute then it takes me out. I either want the immersion of a cute girl or the goofy comedy of a guy playing in female avatar. I don't want any poorly done parlor tricks that can't commit to either.

Being a Somebody is not all it's cracked up to be. Just look at all the celebrities who are now scrutinized for every single possible misstep they have ever made. Have you ever cringed at an embarrassing thing you did? Imagine now millions of people cringing at you for it.

Go be as bad at videogames as you possibly can be, and do the roleplay that amuses you and whatever audience you amass. Have fun with it, make yourself and others smile for a little while. That's all that matters.

At what point should you start networking? I don't have the entirety of my equipment yet, and I haven't finished my model, so I assume it's too early for me, right?

should i buy a new (mid range) mic right now or start streaming with my shitty mic and upgrade if i don't actually hate streaming? i don't know if anybody would actually enjoy listening to someone with a shitty 5 year old headset microphone but i'm also very stingy and scared that i won't actually want to stream when i buy a bunch of expensive equipment

Anons I know this may be a stupid idea but when i finally start streaming i was thinking of doing an endurance stream where i play all 30 touhou games for the first time back to back do you think its possible

[Anonymous No.]

>>2957937
I spent $600 on my audio set up and it was well worth it, without having much streaming experience. but I'm someone who vc's 365 days a year so I could justify getting one just for talking in vc. I'd say maybe get a half decent one for now

>>2957937
yes. buy it. as a vtuber one of the most important assets is your voice. you don't need to go all in and you can already get a lot done with a $70-100 mic. take the time to learn how to apply filters and how to get the best out of your mic. your viewers will thank you.

Akio Air seems to be very very focused on if you can do voice acting and singing, if you were curious about the qualifications. I know it says anyone can apply and it's optional, but they have sections for three different possible voices and a singing sample. I'm guessing I shouldn't apply because I really don't do voice acting.

[Anonymous No.]

I’m feeling very “it’s too good to be true” about Akio Air. They give you a load of money, you don’t have to be an idol, they give you creative freedom.
What really rang my alarm bells more than anything was the line about any “pixiv artist you want”

I dunno seems sus.

They're supplying equipment upfront, so that's the idea in general. They had a good pitch at least, but it seems like they're focused on these characters eventually being in a game?

when you have something to put out, I'd say. My model is still in the works and I've been networking for almost three weeks now. When I started, I only had my ref sheet and I've slowly been getting commissions of my character to share as content. Better sooner than later I think

[Anonymous No.]

You know, I kind of wouldn’t be too unhappy with that?
With regards to other stuff, ‘too good to be true’ is always a risk but you know, it’s a risk I’m willing to take.
