What is /asp/?
A thread for aspiring vtubers! Whether your goal is to make the journey as an independent streamer or to gain experience and build a portfolio for agency auditions. Let's help each other grow and make it. Indies are welcome to selfpost, but shill responsibly. Share your knowledge, insights, feedback, discuss what has worked and what hasn't worked for you. And always remember to do your research before posting personally identifying information. That includes both in this thread and in your audition applications to agencies.
FAQ:
>Do I need a fully rigged model to be a vtuber?Nope! You can get started as a simple .png character!
>I want to learn how to rig Live2D models, where do I go?Brian Tsui (of Iron Vertex), Kira Omori and the official Live2D YouTube channels have many tutorials available.
>Where can I find artists/riggers?vtuber.gg, ArtStation, DeviantArt, Twitter, Reddit,
Skeb.jp, etc.
>I just want to get started, can I buy pre-made models?Yes! Live2D models can be purchased off
nizima.com (Live2D's official marketplace) or
booth.pm (general Japanese indie artist website). Be sure to check compatibility with your facial tracking software!
>Where can I learn how to digital market myself?https://learndigital.withgoogle.com/digitalgarage>Where can I find some good games to stream?https://twitchtracker.com/gameshttps://sullygnome.com/>Twitch or YouTube?The general rule of thumb is Twitch if your content is primarily based on livestreaming and YouTube if your content is primarily pre-recorded and edited.
>Do you think there's an audience for X, Y, Z content?First, ask yourself if you would watch a streamer of your skill and experience. Second, do a check on social media and look to see if other streamers are already creating similar content. Don't limit yourself to vtubers, include traditional real life streamers to scope out a potential audience.
