How would one go about getting clipped by a big YT channel? Is it mostly luck or something?

Don't rely on others for your success. Make your own clips.

[Anonymous No.]

2D or 3D? I don't know which is more popular, or if you need 2D for the 'genuine' VTuber experience, but something like VRoid Studio seems a lot less finicky and grindy than something like Live2D, as well as having a greater proportion of free software.

So advertising.

There's vroid artist who i think does very well done job for the software what is this limited and because it's just vroid prices seems to be pretty low. Her name is tomatomagica on instagram.

I don't think he means getting clipped but rather having one of those big channels upload his clip so their viewers see it. I'd imagine it is mostly luck but some take requests in dms/comments.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5811937
Luck, or maybe one of your viewers recommends that the clipper check you out. Otherwise, I think you're mostly at the mercy of the YouTube algorithm. I think the #1 thing though is to make fun and engaging content.

>Whatchu nibbas think of using adverts and such to draw in viewers?
This is not something YouTubers usually do. If you're a corporate, fine. But this will give others the impression that you only tried to gain fame without any passion. This can harshly backfire in the future and I saw it in a view niches already.

This. Or better yet NeosVR. People are sleeping on you adaptive these games are if you have a 3D model and the fun just escalates once full body tracking is added. Most chuubas already decent PCs. If you want to go budget buy a Quest 2 and hook it up with Oculus Link or Virtual Desktop. If you want luxury get the Valve Index set but be prepared to wait and bend over for Gaben.

Reading and barbershop anon here, question on stream format. For a reading stream, I'd like to have whatever text I'm reading on screen.

I'm at least passingly familiar with Blender, but it's been years since I've had a change to mess with it. Is it possible to start with a VRoid model, crossport it to Blender, and tweak it from there so you don't have to manually do kinematics and such?

The one running the 3D model is definitely a man.
They don't move their arms/hands like a woman hence why theres constant titty collisions.

You'll see them constantly hitting each other despite their mocap rigs clearly capturing their arms properly.

Depends. What are you planning on doing as an agency to make people want to work for you?

I'm assuming you have no agency now, so no followers. You'll need to offer a decent incentive to get people to join in the first place.

No idea on the costs of setting up a business or anything like that, or for lawyers to draw up contracts, or anything else in the backend.

But let's say you approach a nearly-taking-off vtuber. What can you offer them, to work for you?

Let's say you pay your talent minimum wage. If they could expect a 40hr week, every week, then that's around $15k in another position, so we'll use that as a baseline for them wanting to work for you, instead of doing another job. You'll probably want a team of three or four to begin with, so 60k; and that's just the streamers. You'll need a clipper, editor, and at least one back-up techie.

And how are you handling the money? 20% of bits, subs, donos? 50%? 75% until you hit 18k, then 15%?

OTOH, I'd sign up with an agency that expected 5 streams a week if they offered to do all the clipping, editing, promoting, and other post-prod; even if they didn't pay me.

I've no idea what sort of income the top-income chuubas get, but you're going to need to have something.

>>5817592
you're going to need art and rigging of at least 3-5 high quality characters, which could run you up to 5-6k USD each
you also have to pay people and get viral marketing off the ground
the only ones who take off either have money to pay viral marketing firms, are attached to a big name artist like Gyari, or are attached to existing indies as managers

Making fan art of vtuber's you're legitimately fond of is a great way to get people looking at you. Make sure to use their tags, and even better if they retweet it.

At the same time, fan art of other things in your domain would be great. EG, I do pixel art. Pixel art fans love pokemon. Clearly I should make pokemon fan art.

This can bring in people who otherwise might not even watch vtubers, but like pokemon.

Based on your experience what is the average time of full rigging of the model? I only rigged mine and i haven't counted time and since it was my first time I was constantly doing research, redesigning and mistakes and it's costed me for than month.

they're doing this because it's illegal to discriminate on the basis of gender. it doesn't mean they're accepting males, they're just not prohibiting them from auditioning. that's completely different from whether or not they're actually going to accept and create a male vtuber.

I finally had the courage to post on /asp/ yesterday and now I want to help/ease the worry of people auditioning for any big company. There's too many people acting like this is a job interview when really, it's an audition.

What I'm going to say is from experience and speculation from auditioning in the idol industry and from my friends in the entertainment industry. Of course, the VTubing industry is new and different so take what I say with a grain of salt.

- Your self introduction should be 15 sec. MAX, and even that is pushing it. Self introductions should be for introducing your name (and quickly list all the skills you’re going to show them in the video).
DO: I can sing, draw, and speak Japanese
DON’T: I like to sing. I’ve been singing since I was 5 years old. My favorite thing to sing is anison. I first started drawing in middle school because I wanted to be a mangaka and now I like to draw for fun. My favorite thing to draw is…..


- Video applications tell a lot about you.
Your voice, personality, ability to listen to instructions, editing skills, etc.
And this is what leads me to believe that the video is seen before the written application. Because why waste 30sec reading an application when it takes 3 seconds to get turned off by the voice of the auditionee?
There too many instances where I watch someone's audition video and within the first 5 sec. I tab out because the lack of charisma, mic quality is bad and they’re complaining about it, it's a long unedited streaming clip with no introduction in the beginning.

- You want to have more than 1 skill, doesn't matter what it is, as long as you can stream it. Companies don't like one trick ponies. You can be really good at gaming but are you able to have entertaining conversations while you game without having to constantly pause to focus on your game? Remember, charisma is a skill too.

- Show all your skills with confidence. Being humble won't help you. You can be bad at something and poke fun at it, but no one wants to hear “I’ve been drawing for 10 years. But I’m not really good at it. But here it is anyway.” It just makes me think, “why are you showing this to me if you hate it so much?"
Every skill you have = more content

-Display your skills in order of length it takes to show them (shortest to longest) Don't have a 2 min clip of you singing and then a 10 sec clip of you doing something else. Because even if they loved your singing, they are going to assume the rest of your video is singing the whole song.

-On that note, don’t take more than 1 minute to display a skill.
I’ve been to many auditions where people would pass the first round after only singing for 15-20 seconds. If you sound good in the first 20 sec, of course you are going to sound good for the rest of the song. So show off your next skill.
This translates to streaming a game too. If the first 30 sec is good/bad, they are going to assume the next 3 minutes will be the same.

-Your first 1-2 views might not be a whole 5 minutes and that's ok!
If it were me going through 100s of applications on a time crunch, I probably wouldn't watch the whole video of someone I was interested in but wasn't 100% sure I wanted them to go to the next round. I'd save it for later when i have more time to review it. (kind of confirmed bc PRISM did this with my audition video)

I hope this helped! And don’t feel bad if you don’t make it. You could be doing everything right but you don’t fit the character they are looking for for that specific audition.
Again, this is just speculation based on experience in a different but somewhat similar industry. And I hope this helps with anyone still working on on their audition video. (I can’t help much with the written portion)

Good luck with your auditions, everyone! If you have any questions or need clarification, I’ll be lurking the thread until the female Nijisanji audition deadline is over.

Hey guys! So my friend who doesn’t go here wants to be a vtuber and his concept is a witch girl with a sentient hat (kind of like pic rel). Since he’s a guy, he would ve talking through the hat instead of the girl. Would that be a pretty decent concept and a good way to avoid being a babi?

Also does anyone know how people get two or more tracked models onto one stream like this? https://youtu.be/1NVMbPu1H0M

he was a lot of things, he did facecam, no face, primarily youtube, primarily twitch, multistreams, cute emotes
he's an example of how to incorporate trends into your brand and grow from them

The general idea wasn't actual schizophrenia. Just thats how a few bitchy anons interpreted it.
Inspiration was drawn more from noh theatre masks and how they shift the appearance/emotion of the character through lighting on the mask. But emphasising that more so each state is in a sense its own character
The mask changes and its a different character with their own voice and personality.

you're asking for 3 separate models and 3 different rigs, that's a lot of money if you want it to look good. also no vtubing software allows you to swap models in and out that quickly unless you set up 3 instances of it loaded up with different models all tracking at the same and you set up some crazy hotkey shit in OBS to switch between them.

it's not entirely relevant to the niji audition since they explicitly mention they want a 5 minute video of you introducing a character and then streaming as that character

Just put a little effort into learning to customize it yourself instead of always paying other people to do it for you. You end up with more soul in your character. 3d stuff is easier than 2d drawing anyway because the entry level skill set in 3d modeling is drastically lowered by assist tools.

The only good 3D artists are booked, and a low quality 3D model looks worse than a 2D one of similar price and the only way you're accomplishing any more than you can with a 2D rig is when you have VRChat with full body tracking and that costs you an arm and a leg extra anyway.

>>5834571
That's completely understandable! I don't know much about male auditions so it's up to your (everyone who reads this) judgment on what works for you and what doesn't.

>>5834656
Honestly, I was typing so much in the heat of the moment that I didn't explain this point too well. You can take more than a minute to display a skill. But let's say your skills are: gaming, singing, speaking Japanese
And you decide to make your video: 2 min gaming -> 2.5 min singing -> 30 sec speaking Japanese
They most likely won't fast forward through your whole video to find every skill you have to display (time restraints). So if they like your gaming, they ff 30 sec into video and you're still gaming, they might think the whole video is of gaming and nothing else. Or they make it to the singing portion but bc the clip was so long, they might assume you're singing a full song. And after 20+ sec of hearing your voice, they have a feel of your voice and don't need to finish the rest of the video, thus missing out on your last skill.
So the logical sequence for you video should have been speaking Japanese first bc it's the fast skill to show off then gaming or singing.

Of course, there is not correct formula and it's all based on how the interviewer is feeling at the moment. So use your best judgment in sequencing your skills and how long you want to highlight it.

The point is to get them to see all the skills you have to offer before they get bored and click out. So it's ok if you only have 2 skills to show.
Also, roleplaying is a skill!

>>5836766
Honestly, this is just advice that may/may not help your application so don't dwell on it if you did none of these. At the end of the day, it all dwindles down to how well you did in your audition video. Good luck on your audition, anon!

>>5840079
I completely agree! Take whatever advice that applies to you. As I mentioned, this is my experience/speculation in the idol industry so some audition practices will be similar while others might not apply.

>>5845124
I actually introduced myself as myself before roleplaying. It was a really brief 10 sec introduction but I wanted to show the variety in my voice from normal voice to roleplaying voice.

The application is vague enough to do and interpret it however you want to show your individuality. So don't worry! And good luck to both of us!

Realistically, what "stands out" about all the new recent large vtubers, even just the ones in the high tens or low hundreds? Not the mainstays that have been around forever like Zentreya or Iron Mouse, but the newer names you see towards the top. It's not always about standing out with a gimmick or weird quirk.

How many of them have a gimmick that actually matters past "I'm a girl. I'm cute. I'm nice."

I don't know how a voice modulator works, but can you make a feminine voice and then use a modulator over it? Maybe it will make better results.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5879805
It has nothing to do with personality. Streaming as a whole is dominated by men, but in certain subcategories females will always dominate. Look at ASMR, VTubing, certain art categories like by paint, etc. The "problem" is the demographic for categories like that specifically want to watch female streamers. Do you really think it's specifically for their personality?

no modulator is perfect and you will still have situations where it modulates your breathing to be a higher pitch and immediately gives it away

[Anonymous No.]

>>5880039
modulators cannot influence your tone, inflections, speech patterns, etc. it just adds a filter to whatever voice you're putting through it. that's all. it kills the audio quality through compression and slaps on a shit filter that makes it painfully obvious that a modulator is being used.

[Anonymous No.]

Is it even worth putting in the effort to create a vtuber if you're a dude? Like I dont want to blow up or make a shit ton of money, just do it more as a hobby on the side and maybe form a small community, just dont know what the likelihood of success towards that goal would be.

this is about the best you can get and notice the water bottle he opens and the sound of air as he laughs and breathes is also modulated and has a shitload of compression artifacts
this is someone who has trained themselves to talk with female inflections and speech patterns and has about the best modulator money can buy
you are not going to make it work and fool anyone

Getting experience as a PNGtuber probably isn't a bad idea. Rigging and a 2d/3dlive avatar are pretty expensive so it's a decent budget version.

This is my plan. Gonna submit my NijiEN and Tsunderia apps, then start PNGtubing with a doodle of my own. I've got a pro artist friend who I could commission to make a better version of my doodle, and I can go from there.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5882282
yes, everyone should start out as a PNGtuber and then after they feel comfortable, shop around for rigs
it's going to stop a lot of heartbroken people from being stuck with shit models or feeling like they have to keep streaming because they dropped 5k on art+layouts+assets+live2d

The only "people" who can't tell that you are using a voice changer are Indians from a scam call center. No limit however ridiculous your voice is morphed.

I've seen a sickening amount of people fall for and/or accept voice changers, but unfortunately I didn't always hang out with the brightest of crowds. Anyone with an ounce of common sense will not be fooled, and half the people who are actually do know but are giant faggots who don't care.

There's actually a setting that sounds somewhat natural (just like an older mic) I can use on mine. The problem is EVERYONE who uses it sounds exactly the same. I can spot the voice a mile away because its always the same generic voice.

[Anonymous No.]

How much can someone get into character before it becomes cringe? Like if someone's character is a demon prince or a catgirl or whatever, how often can they bring that up or make jokes about it before it's annoying?

Personally I don't mind things like referencing their character's age or backstory or species, especially if it's clever and relevant to what's happening, but I feel weird when people lean into the larp too heavily.

lore should be the icing, not the filling
if you're thinking about your lore before every sentence then that's no bueno, references to it during regular streaming should be incidental rather than purposeful

[Anonymous No.]

>>5886237
Most vtubers tend to just drop the character during their streams.

Honestly I always thought the whole "character backstory" aspect to a vtuber was just to keep their personal identity hidden easier. Like for when you have people asking "How old are you?" and "Where do you live?", it's easier to respond with "I'm a 900 year old shark girl from Atlantis."

character is pointless most of the time. its neat to reference or use as a veil to explain real world things like "Well back when i was at the witches academy there was a teacher I liked" to make stories about school as a kid a bit more flavored, but otherwise avoid getting into character.

Speaking of terrible mic settings.

How do you guys set up mics for good sound quality? The headphone mics are always terrible for me so I have a nice desk mic, but it pics up everything including shit like my PC fan which is a good few feet away and the AC in my house. I can do some minor filtering here and there, but the AC especially always comes through and is annoying.

Ignoring individual mic choices for now, set up filters for your audio. Gain and compression can help you get to an audio level that's understandable without peaking nor being too quiet in your speaking (some people might enounce their words awkwardly). Gates are used to shut out any additional sound from your background provided there is a definite different in volume level between your voice and the background sounds (such as a fan or AC, gain settings can help with this even if it might make it worse initially just need to find what works for you). Side chain compression (aka ducking) can help your voice stand out if you're the type to play music on stream, as any time your input (voice channel) is active the output channel (whatever your music is playing from) will 'duck' in volume.
