Becoming a V-Tuber
| possibilty, unlikely to succeed, theres already too much personality that we can enjoy and watch except for Kuuderes (knows how to roast people), massive PepeHands
| >>720747 i was thinking about being first VTuber what speak by my language.. but i have fear from streaming.. "^^ and idk how to do own persona
| If you wanted to do it you need to start when ai channel started getting popular, or have one of those big corps behind you now
Youtube is good for discovery but you have to have something push you even if it's a random viral video so it's still possible but how confident are you in going viral for no reason
| >>720826 you'd probably have a better chance in another language but you gotta work on that confidence, and don't forget streaming or youtube of any kind is a lot of work
| I don't delve into this too much, why is hololive a weird agency?
| You need a character that stands out, you need to play the character well, you need confidence, a gimmick, hard work and some luck.
Your gimmick can be speaking your language since you would be the first one, so you've got that covered.
But you need to design a character, which you'd probably need help for.
You need to play the character well, which would probably require some practice in acting and confidence.
Confidence is, well, you need to learn how to be confident.
| Why join HoloLive when VShojo is now a thing?
| Markets already crowded. Unless you can get a design that stands out, or some sort of lasting gimmick, it's too late.

VShoujo
>Has no qualms about porntubing.
>Run by the very vtubers who set it up.
Meanwhile, at Hololive:
>Suspends two vtubers for saying Taiwan is a country.
>Cuts the entirety of their Taiwanese/CN vtubers because fans are retarded, even more so than whomever suspended the aforementioned vtubers.
mfw the choice is clear.

Being anonymous and putting your face out there are, very different things.
While I don't watch VTubers and don't really have an interest in doing so, I'm glad that it is a thing.
VTubing is not the same as being a regular streamer or YouTuber. VTubing us more like, a show. You're playing a character. You're acting as someone else.
It's like the difference between a movie actor and a streamer, you know? They're not really comparable things.

Sure, they do streaming stuff, but do you really think they're not playing a character? Because they are. They're not showing themselves or really showing much of their real personality. That's why they usually have gimmicks, like Gura being a shark or Korone being a dog or Mori being a shinigami.
They have these personas, almost like OCs, that they stream as. Some are more genuine than others, but most of them are just acting as a fictional character doing live streaming.
| >>721487 everyone plays a character to some extent my dude even if you mix in real stuff you exaggerate that for entertainment because that's literally your job
| >>721508
I'm well aware my dude, and that doesn't change anything about my point, does it? Do you ever see normal streamers acting like an anime dog-girl and making up bizarre, completely fictional backstories that they pretend to be real etc?
There's also the fact that VTubers usually aren't allowed to say certain stuff and are obligated to play their character because of the companies.
There's a difference between VTubing and other streaming/content creation.

Pro-wrestling really is a good comparison. Normal streaming and YouTube stuff is like normal martial arts while VTubing is like pro-wrestling. They can seem very similar at first, but one is way more staged and scripted than the other.
| Weirdly, after they started VShoujo, I'm turned off to Melody and Ironmouse. Theyre the only ones i like out of that group. nyanners is nyanners, silvervale is.. just an egirl, and zentreya is a dude that uses tts with an accent. Apricot (froot) is cool, followed them for a while as an artist. and idk who the last one is.
>>721539 Wrestling is a really good analogy, considering the 2 big orgs are already sorted (hololive and nijisanji) and the small ones too (VOMS, Sugar Lyric etc)

| The newly-saturated market is here, and it's your time to start a new carreer, gurl.
Okay, now talking serious:
what is the possibility, in the current trend, of succeeding at it, not becoming part of an weird agency such as hololive? Does that tought has ever crossed your mind?
