I have a question but I don't know if this is the right place to ask it. I want to get into the vtubing industry, but I don't have any interest in being a vtuber. What I want to know is if anyone here has any information on getting into the industry in any manner not related to being a vtuber itself, like being a talent manager or content creator or any other kind of corporate, contracted, or supportive role for a vtuber. This industry is still very very new, so its not the sort of thing where you can just get a degree or something and hop into a job. Any kind of degree in entertainment or talent management would leave you grossly overqualified for handling very small vtubers, for example. But I'm nonetheless interested in knowing what exactly these small corpo agencies are looking for so I can start heading in that direction.
Additionally, since this thread is filled with people who are indies themselves, I want to ask this question to these people directly: as an indie, be it big or small, what sort of work or assistance do you wish you had someone to do for you or help you with? Networking? Content creation? Scheduling? Promotion? Assets? Counsel? Someone bilingual? What are the tasks or types of assistance you wish you had the most as someone looking to grow as a vtuber?
I ask this because, knowing this is a very new industry where nepotism is quite literally everything, and being someone with no education or experience worth a damn, I know I need to enter this industry the same way the rest of you are: from the ground up. For that reason I'm looking for things I can do/services I can offer for indies or otherwise small vtubers. At the moment the only thing I'm studying is Japanese, and I think there are probably ways I can use that to offer services for non-Japanese speaking vtubers who are looking to do anything requiring the language. Really what I'm trying to figure out is what sort of skills/study/training I should seek to be someone of value in this industry.
