>>2185451This is one of those things that sounds like tough-love "good advice" but is actually terrible. Vtubing is incredibly saturated right now. Taking the time to figure out
>exactly who you are as a streamer now>your concrete goals for where you want to end up>what you individually offer an audience, and therefore what experience they will expect from youand so on is incredibly important for establishing an identity. There are thousands of neon catgirls and succubi who started streaming Among Us but have nothing interesting to say and no viewers as a result.
Absolutely, do not fall into the exclusive Vtweeter hole. Absolutely test and experiment with the nuts and bolts of streaming as soon into the process that is feasible for your schedule, equipment and budget. But also take the time to figure out who and what you are, even if it ends up changing in the process. If you're a librarian, the audience is going to expect a different experience/atmosphere than if you're a military general, even if both are playing the same grand strategy game.
Think of it as drawing the anatomy underneath billowy clothing. The audience isn't going to see it, and it might feel like a waste since you're going to color the clothes over it, but it'll avoid costly redlining corrections in the future.
