>>31484>what's importantfilling dead air with either commentary/music/the game doing its thing (if it's a cutscene or something). don't get too self-conscious if you're quiet while playing, but be mindful. I filled this by playing through the Metro 2033 series of games because they're my favorite games, and I read the books so I could fill in dead air explaining what actually happens vs the video game, so if you play your favorite games you could tell stories of past experiences and favorite moments, that kind of thing
sound quality. if you have a bad mic, or bad sound balance (game too loud/can't hear game) then it'll immediatley turn people off. you don't need a beefed up computer, but i would definitely recommend investing in a mic. if you cant afford it then what you really need to do is just start streaming.
if you really want to accelerate to affiliate and grow, join 100 discords and shill yourself every time you go live, make a twitter and shill yourself with every hashtag you can.
>how to improveget actionable feedback from people during/after stream. ask about the layout (is the game too big or too small compared to other elements? is the game too loud? are my twitch panels good? are my emotes good?). review your own vods sometimes and go over the things you say and do that you like and dislike and improve on those.
