very useful. tysm for this! currently revamping my vtuber and trying to figure out what i want to do. there's just so much potential, and i want to try them all!
Technically: All I did was powerpoint presentation in morning hours. Emotionally: It was not the best, not the smoothest, but I was myself and shared true emotions, without necessary fake acting. Tip from my side: find a VT group who gather VT, be it from your country (USA, Poland, Japan and so on), don't randomly ram in and ask that you DEMAND to be on your debut, baby steps are the most important, have strong PC, good idea for your character, constantly check out on other fellow VT. Maybe someone will need help from you one day, being helpful and good person builds strong bonds. Just don't get overwhelmed by it, keep cool head and remeber, you have your own life and you are just a mortal life form, you can be tired too. You deserve a rest. (But if we think about being a VT, I dare to say that first VT ever featured in any media, wouldn't be Ene 'Takane' Enomoto from Mekakucity Actors anime, in a way ? Think about it :) ) Very nice and informative material, Mari-sama :)
My good man, just like @me qi asked, do you have any tips on finding said groups? Getting into vtubing scares me cos it looks and sounds like everyone knows what they're doing and it's just hard to find and talk to someone who's also a big noob to vibe with and struggle with. (Ik struggling with someone sounds bad, but cmon. It's more stressful to talk to veterans just cos they feel so far away lol )
Been in the vtubing community for over a year now but started streaming just last week. Have had a ton of fun so far and this video helped me get an idea of how I shall preform my upcoming debut, much love^^
I am currently a minor in highschool who would love to do Vtubing or any sort of content creation. But as I slowly realized being in school and trying to do content is a lot harder than it sounds. So instead I've been watching videos and clips of others to try and find stuff to help prepair me when I think I am ready to try content creation; all whilst being able to focus still on my school work at the same time just incase it doesn't work as planned. This is probably one of the most helpful videos I've found other than a few clips of Vtubers themselves talking about it. Thank you! (:
There are ways you can get around such a struggle. I think the easiest way is to put aside 1-2 days per week for a longform stream and then cut up each stream into some compilations/general clips. Then, when you're done with creating the longform clip compilations cut up that video again to get short 1 minute videos that you can upload to shorts. You get all of the benefits of uploading daily when in reality you're not making more than 1-2 videos per week and you're only doing 2 live streams per week
I know this is way old and you’re unlikely to see this, but I would recommend you try to do edited video content while in school. The nice thing is that you can come and go, wait for your mood to catch up with the humour, and adjust your editing schedule to your school workload. Doing that, I actually managed quite a few lower quality videos a week and about three lightly edited ones. Higher complexity edits take a long time to learn and do, so only so what’s in your means for time, skill, and software. I’d recommend to stick with cutting silence and bad takes, inserting funny clips, and funny effects, but definitely play with the power of keying/masking, panning, and recolouring. They are the basis for all visual effects.
A point mentioned but not elaborated on further at the end: Slow & Steady growth is good! You get to fully cultivate and shape the kind of community you wish to have. You also get to personally get to know your fans one-by-one and truly get to know who they are. Creating this connection captures peoples desire to stay and stick around, because they get to know you better too! Instead of always looking towards the future thinking of "why aren't I growing faster?", try to be in the moment more and enjoy those there already. This also creates a more positive atmosphere too! c:
I've been thinking about doing content creation for awhile. Seeing this video right now about vtubing, it makes a lot of sense and lines up with how other content creators, who don't do vtubing, are doing the same as people that are vtubers. This video is very informative on how vtubing works. I actually didn't know much about it (because I am new to the vtubing community and only saw the surface level of things)
I would love to do vtubing but I won't because I think it is not worth it given my bland personality and boring interacting skills, but I still watched the whole video. It is just well-made and engaging, and I learned lots of things in just a few minutes. Despite me having no plans on being a vtuber, I can still relate this video to other aspects of my life, which makes me feel more inspired in continuing to do the things that I am currently doing. Thanks.
Just making video in general, if you are interested in doing it then just do it. Then maybe if it not right for you then you can just leave the video there afterwards.
There are actually plenty of bland famous people and no i am not talking about the name Bland, yes that is a thing, i am talking about personality types. You can turn your blandness and boringness into the very gimmick itself that attracts the attention of others, hell you can even go as far as turning your plainness into a parody of a mundane and boring person and there are plenty of Anime and such that does this. Hell even games do this just look at Larry from pokemon scarlet and violet a boring everyday Joe Normal Type user which somehow a lot of people like. Hell people like Squidward from Spongebob as they are a great contrast from your everyday extravertedness and the more people age the more they fall in line with Larry or Squidwards way of thinking A sense of connection/relatableness of belongingness of community that's what these popular boring people fictional or not bring to the table to make up for what they lack. So turn your bland personality and boring interacting skills into a gimmick and own it as people will come for you, and granted it will be slow if you are not adhd and extroverted but it does happen The important part is sadly getting your name out there which is the hardest part and if you do not then no one is going to watch you even if you are not boring
I respect you SO MUCH for saying this! While I’m not struggling as a VTuber, I still want to have tips to grow and information to pass onto others, so hearing this from you was really helpful!
Ur humor and the way you told the info rlly made me stay every second !! I usually skip through informative videos like this because they bore me, despite my interest for them, but ur vid rlly entertained AND informed me ! bless
I'm surprised how much this actually helped me. I'm considering taking the plunge into becoming a VTuber and I was worried that these sort of videos would just give generic "Don't give up, be consistent" type advice. Thank you, Mari!
I thought having an existing audience would make switching to a Vtube avatar of myself super easy and boy did I learn the hard way it don't work like that lol, thanks for the informative video - if I ever try again I'll plan it right this time 💜
Nice work on explaining everything. From what I've noticed, this doesn't just imply V-Tubing, you can utilize some of these steps for any kind of content creation. Definitely some helpful tips, Thank You.
Ever since I was young I wanted to do the RUclips stuff other people were doing, like playing video games or chatting with their fans online, but I never wanted to show my face before despite wanted to show my reactions and face! But I just wanted that block between online me and irl me, it's part of the reason I don't really use social media to show off myself physically. When I heard about vtubers I was really interested, but I didn't get too far into it because I was busy with school and I already had other things to watch to help me stress less, but now I'm starting to look more into it as a real idea and/or plan. I still want to do something else as my main job and/or hobby, but this really sparks my interest and may be something I set up one day. Maybe on the break I have after high-school? (I plan to take a break after high-school before I go to college) But worse come to worse I wait until I'm done with college and then do it! :3
You are such a big help for up-coming, and soon-to-be vtubers like myself! You are definitely someone I look up too a lot in this community, thank you so much!!!!
Thank you this actually is helpful! i'm not a vtuber since i dont know how to get a model and it seems expensive so right now i'm just a pngtuber but i've been streaming on twitch and nobody watches its good to know i should keep trying just to do more like post on other socials and then keep trying from there!
To my perspective , It really is all about the personality and how you connect with your viewers, if your a fun loving personality you can build a healthy fond community of people that likes your content , based of your personality is how people views you for you, so yeah , and this is what got me into vtubing , just casually wanting to talk with people , and even create a community , but its a long way to go, good luck !
Thanks for the video Mari, you are the reason I even got this little PNG and started putting myself out there at all. I especially appreciate the bit about persistence and content
I’m actually taking notes on this vid. Though the hololive part caught me off guard. I know that they exist, but i don’t watch them. And yes, it is content creation. If there’s one thing i can relate about this video is to be realistic with our expectations. If there’s one thing to add is to have a survey on yourself and gave it a score out of 10. Having after stream surveys and reviews on posted videos can give insights on what sections needed improvement. It’s also good for story telling on your journey if you so inclined. For me, i will do this once i made debut because i care about the community that we will have and for ourselves too
super glad i watched this. ive got my model, ive got my ideas for what i want to do. i just wasnt entirely sure how i wanted to get started. now i have some ideas to mull over to get ready for my debut :D thanks so much for taking the time to make this!
@@everyonesarchive my biggest issue that I realize is that I'm a perfectionist. If everything isnt perfect then it bugs the crap out of me. But then I look at what I need to do to make it perfect and I get overwhelmed and shut down... long story short... it's a work in progress 😅 but I'll get there. I'm trying to learn new things one at a time and work on making it as best as I can while trying to make myself realize that it will never be perfect and I need to let it go otherwise I will never go anywhere. But I will get there 😁
the hard truths part is true. I'm a web novelist and the best advice I give out is "underestimate how much you can write." as in if you think you can do one chapter every three days maybe start with one a week instead because you can always upgrade to more and your fans will be happy but if you reduce the fans you've built wont be as happy with it while extras randomly will be loved.
Hi Mari! Just wanted to let you know it was ultimately this video that got me started streaming with my vtube model! (Mid 2023's) It's only been 3 weeks for me but it's been amazing. I played so many games already that i normally won't even touch by myself. My community is extremely small right now, but it's amazing being able to do stuff with other people. Once again, just wanted to say thank you!
So I am now finding this video and I am glad I did. I have been working with some people for a while on becoming a VTuber and had no idea how to start. Thanks for the tips!!!
I have been wanting to become a content creator for a long time and I am still kind of lost, but this vid definitely put some of my worries to rest permanently. Thank you so much for this amazing information, you inspired me to work even harder and more passionately for this
i think eventually every more-or-less-big-vtuber gonna be basically an individual TV show. If that happens i wonder what are new faces gonna do to make it to the big, coz as time goes on, Vtubing (and content creation overall) becoming more professional and competitive, and i guess quality we see now watching someone like gura or korone most likely gonna be pretty common for an indiTubers right after debut. Crazy and amazing world we live in...
Thank you, Mari, that really gave me the boost and support I needed after Vtubing for years and wondering what's wrong with my growth. I really appreciate the advice you gave and will try to change things up a bit. Thx!!! 😁 (There have been a lot of times where I felt like quiting before even having a model release, but I don't plan on letting myself give up anytime soon.)
thank you so much!! i have been working on a vtuber model for a while but like i lost motivation a lot cause i wouldn’t know where to go after i finished, but your videos have helped a lot!
My friend and I are just getting started and I have been putting so much work and effort into preparing the debut and brand. Making meme youtube shorts and tiktoks and twitter posts and I worried that this was time and effort i should be doing on other things. Thank you for making this video. You helped me realize I am on the right track. ❤
Theses sorts of videos are a blessing to have nowadays, especially when you wanna try/commit to a change, and even if I want these sorts of things going well for me, I just wanna be a Dragonic slime, it just sounds funnier to do then just having my face on a screen! 😂😂😂
1:04 as someone who plans on having a VERY unique model and format, this is super true! Beautiful stereotypical anime portraits oversaturate the market, naturally. 2 any1 else who is thinkin bout havin a SUPER cartoony model, or even doin Gacha VTubing- GO FOR IT! Trust me, it’ll stand out a lot :3
Someone enjoying your content and knowing who you are without knowing what Hololive is is probably one of the biggest compliments you can get as a Vtuber.
I really appreciate your content. I have a lot of anxiety and vtubers has been something Im interested because of the anonymity of it. But i love streaming communities and dream of entertaining people amd having a good time.
Tip for anyone wanting to be a vtuber (Or any type of tuber) : If you feel burnt out, or having problems TAKE A BREAK, You should probably inform your followers, subscribers or whatever.
Thankyou for the reality check on a lot of this stuff! I didn't even know about debuting until stumbling across it, and have just been doing content creation as a streamer, with the idea of wanting to do Vtubing once my models done (as a way that lets me interact with the audience in a manner more comfortable/true to me). Knowing how much goes into the prep, I'm really glad I stumbled across your guide and will be carrying a lot of these tips going forward with debuting. Fingers crossed! Tysm
Thank you so much for this video! I have started to become more interested in vtubing and the community and wanted to give it a try but I didn’t really know where to start. Now I have some ideas and still need to figure out a model. I wanted to get over my own social anxiety and fear through this and now I’m really inspired to try!
A lot of this I already sort of had in my head, but it was good to see it reiterated and clarified. Thanks for helping add to my focus! Now back to prep work and all that that entails~
I'm not planning on streaming but thank you for these tips! I'm excited to get started. I'm planning on making a langage learning Vtuber, and maybe play some games as well when I get more used to this whole thing.
My scuffed ass just went live with no real plans, my debut didn't have ANYTHING set up, but it made for a hilarious night with my friends and it really set the tone of what to expect and people seemed to love it anyway
Rule of three always works best. You can have more than 3 aspects but having 3 main things is more memorable. So for example your a Cat girl, Sleepy aesthetic and you like muffins. You choose your main 3 things and go heavily into them. Make your design show them and make sure talk about them in some way. It help build your brand.
hey Mari , im just a new ASMR vtuber. I just want to thank you for this video, you gave me hope. As a content creator you go through a lot of states from enthusiasm to despair but what you do here really helps. Thanks😊😊😍😍😍😍
Thank you so much for this video! I've been streaming for years but Vtubing is a whole new monster and I am really happy to have found you. I appreciate what you've done for people like me 🥰
Thank you very much, I was just thinking about how to debut as a Vtuber and watch this video and how you want it fills me with determination, greetings from Venezuela ❤❤
Omg i really needed this. I’m brand new and I literally only get 1 viewer in streams and I don’t know how to network properly. This really helped open my eyes to what I should do. Thank you!
This singlehandedly made me create a complete APA essay asking myself these questions and answering them I understand that most vtubers have a separate character to be as when they stream, but what if i just want to be me technically? people would say if you want to be you, just use a webcam, but I'm talking about me as my own persona, my own alter ego that i wished i was, would that be in any way relatable or even enjoyable? I think it may be to some extent because people relate to irl more than the characters some vtubers make themselves and I'm just going for the balance of being relatable as a human and also enjoyable as a character. This is all mostly because i really just want to be myself when i stream/record, but i don't want to show my irl face.
mari thankyou . i am having my model and and haven't debut, i wonder how to go on from here. After watching your videos , ideas pours down like a tsunami! Arigato~
thankyou for such insight i'm actually working on making a live2d model and well jumping into this hobby on my days off from work XD (tempted to give some maid vibes as i work as a housekeeper)
I plan on trying to become a Vtuber, but I'm gonna wait until I'm out of highschool and have a job. I'd also have a very tight schedule thanks to planning to start a dnd RUclips channel with my friends, me likely being our editor and host, and probably often the DM.
I just found this today and I am so glad I did! I'm still trying to fine the Communities I want to be apart of but this helped me a lot. THANK YOU SO MUCH !!
I've certainly thought about being a vtuber and half wanted to be for awhile But at this point vtubing is flooded enough I'd have to have something really interesting to gain any attention, and quite honestly at this point I'm probably too depressed to actually do it and get anywhere assuming i could even start in the first place It's weird, on one hand i feel like streaming and just goofing around is one of the few things i could do, but on the contrary the expectations to meet in order to be noticed are high enough that even that feels far out of reach now I don't want to over hype myself and do tons of over exaggerated reactions because that'd feel disingenuous for me (nevermind feeling incredibly self conscious being loud with my neighbors in a house that isn't that sound proof) which is kinda a shame because that stuff is typically what gets clipped and what gets attention And my situation, kinda makes it difficult to do anything needed to get started in the first place my internet sucks (it loves to just cut out at random, on top of being generally too slow to keep up an HD stream at 3mbps up at best) my computer sucks (my primary daily PC was built in 2013, no joke it's literally just that old it turns 9 in a month, so the avatar rendering + OBS kinda chomps up a good chunk of what little GPU and CPU i have even with facial tracking offloaded, and any fancy new games are out of the question entirely even without vtuber stuff running) I'm too broke to buy any kind of better computer or any interesting new games (i could play mostly indie stuff i already own at least, but my library isn't that big and most aren't exciting) and my location is too remote to get better internet And perhaps the biggest blocker, I'm generally not in a great place internally, depressed enough i can't really force myself to do normal work to deal with the above issues, and depressed enough my personality and motivation is kinda just like that of a pile of black bananas (might be great with the right help but generally pretty useless and almost nobody actually follows through with the banana bread plans) and i can't really get much help being in the middle of actual nowhere in a place that just forgot to recognise people who can't drive as people (rural america is great isn't it /s) And another pretty big blocker though this kinda is directly related to the above is the fact that I'm not far off from being IRL mute, speaking only the bare minimum most days, and being too paranoid to even dare speak into a mic unless i know for sure nobody will overhear So yeah, unfortunately whatever i theoretically might be able to create if i had the energy and chance, probably just won't get to be realised, I'm too stuck in the tar pit to even start, and oops i accidentally sadge posted in a RUclips comments section again, sorry for having to read this, i can't imagine many people will read this (yt algo might hide it for being depressio, though maybe that might be for the best) If anybody reads this, i don't really expect to get anything (i have too many trust issues to accept much help anyways) but i guess at least thanks for reading my scrambled ramble bramble And I guess if any up and coming or current vtubers read this, just know whatever hardships you've had along the way, you at least made it past the starting line, you got the chance to just do it and you did it, you've done what people like me couldn't and even if you don't make it big that's at least something that you yourself have succeeded with And if anybody reads this and relates to any of my storm of issues, i guess you can take relief in knowing that you're not alone here (go ahead and reply with whatever you have, i posted my dump here so it's only fair)
I tried making a 3d model in like late 2019 and who boy, if you’re going too self make your model set aside dedicated time. I’ve been putting of making anything for 3 years
Hi, Mari! Yesterday, I started on my own Vtuber. I have my concept and story for her all planned out... And this video really helped a bunch. I’ll probably be making different social media accounts to promote after I get everything set up. I’m really nervous though. I really hope that people like her! And I really hope you see this so that you know how much you helped me!
I’m planning to be a VTuber and been watching a lot of vids but yours is very helpful thank yooo plus your design is sooo cuuute!!! Definitely a SUB now!!!
I want to be a vTuber in the future, but due to school I can't, I'm planning on saving up during high school, so after I graduate I can become a content creator like you, and other people
I knew vtubrrs existed before but I never really cared/ was that interested in them. But lately I really wanted to stream but just didn't want to show my face, I thought this was a good idea but goodness is going to be a rough ride. I'm excited though 😊
You kind of crushed my ego how to be a successful vtuber then I started ranting how nobody tells me what to do for 10 minutes. And my ego is back and I would like 2 thank you for putting gasoline on the wood. That has sent my spirit a Blaze.
Thank you! This video is very useful^^ I'm in vtube community for a longer time and I'm thinking of starting my vtube carrier too, tho I'm kinda scared and I dont think of me as of a person that can entertain other people or be somehow unique and all that stuff that makes someone memorable 👁👁 but I'll never know until I'll give it a shot! Ty again^^ and have a great day/night
Thank you so much for watching! Please consider supporting me on Patreon so I can make content full time!!! www.patreon.com/mariyume
How do you animate likes this? I’m wanting to be a v-tuber myself
Im impressed how much thought u put into this. Iam just getting started and ur determination and rightfulness inspires me a lot to keep going. Thx.
ahh
lol. my trash jokes made it into the video. lessss gooooooo
see what happens when you chat on discord and stream ;) hehehe
congrats!
Famous lmao
4:17
Something that people enjoy looking at 🫣
very useful. tysm for this! currently revamping my vtuber and trying to figure out what i want to do. there's just so much potential, and i want to try them all!
there are so many things that can be done, i am glad it can help you!!!
Technically:
All I did was powerpoint presentation in morning hours.
Emotionally:
It was not the best, not the smoothest, but I was myself and shared true emotions, without necessary fake acting.
Tip from my side: find a VT group who gather VT, be it from your country (USA, Poland, Japan and so on), don't randomly ram in and ask that you DEMAND to be on your debut, baby steps are the most important, have strong PC, good idea for your character, constantly check out on other fellow VT.
Maybe someone will need help from you one day, being helpful and good person builds strong bonds.
Just don't get overwhelmed by it, keep cool head and remeber, you have your own life and you are just a mortal life form, you can be tired too.
You deserve a rest.
(But if we think about being a VT, I dare to say that first VT ever featured in any media, wouldn't be Ene 'Takane' Enomoto from Mekakucity Actors anime, in a way ? Think about it :) )
Very nice and informative material, Mari-sama :)
Loved the reference at the end, one of my favorite characters!
Do you have any tips on how to find these vtube groups?
My good man, just like @me qi asked, do you have any tips on finding said groups? Getting into vtubing scares me cos it looks and sounds like everyone knows what they're doing and it's just hard to find and talk to someone who's also a big noob to vibe with and struggle with.
(Ik struggling with someone sounds bad, but cmon. It's more stressful to talk to veterans just cos they feel so far away lol )
sonico was an earlier vtuber

how do you enter a community, i have a severe lack of experience interacting with other people t-t

Same. It reminds me of how anime communities started in the first place but on a whole new level now.
I would love to do vtubing but I won't because I think it is not worth it given my bland personality and boring interacting skills, but I still watched the whole video.

Hell even games do this just look at Larry from pokemon scarlet and violet a boring everyday Joe Normal Type user which somehow a lot of people like. Hell people like Squidward from Spongebob as they are a great contrast from your everyday extravertedness and the more people age the more they fall in line with Larry or Squidwards way of thinking
A sense of connection/relatableness of belongingness of community that's what these popular boring people fictional or not bring to the table to make up for what they lack.

Thanks for another great video, Mari!!! I am so nervous but excited to debut this year!
im excited to hear about your debut!! good luck!!

Thank you this actually is helpful! i'm not a vtuber since i dont know how to get a model and it seems expensive so right now i'm just a pngtuber but i've been streaming on twitch and nobody watches its good to know i should keep trying just to do more like post on other socials and then keep trying from there!
I've been planning to debut as a robot Vtuber, and this tutorial is just the ticket I need to get started since I'm going to play some games.
To my perspective , It really is all about the personality and how you connect with your viewers, if your a fun loving personality you can build a healthy fond community of people that likes your content , based of your personality is how people views you for you, so yeah , and this is what got me into vtubing , just casually wanting to talk with people , and even create a community , but its a long way to go, good luck !
No joke, the greatest advice I've heard. Not only that, it inspires one's soul. Thank you
Thanks for the video Mari, you are the reason I even got this little PNG and started putting myself out there at all. I especially appreciate the bit about persistence and content
I’m actually taking notes on this vid. Though the hololive part caught me off guard. I know that they exist, but i don’t watch them. And yes, it is content creation. If there’s one thing i can relate about this video is to be realistic with our expectations. If there’s one thing to add is to have a survey on yourself and gave it a score out of 10. Having after stream surveys and reviews on posted videos can give insights on what sections needed improvement. It’s also good for story telling on your journey if you so inclined. For me, i will do this once i made debut because i care about the community that we will have and for ourselves too
super glad i watched this. ive got my model, ive got my ideas for what i want to do. i just wasnt entirely sure how i wanted to get started. now i have some ideas to mull over to get ready for my debut :D thanks so much for taking the time to make this!
How did it go??
@@everyonesarchive my biggest issue that I realize is that I'm a perfectionist. If everything isnt perfect then it bugs the crap out of me. But then I look at what I need to do to make it perfect and I get overwhelmed and shut down... long story short... it's a work in progress 😅 but I'll get there. I'm trying to learn new things one at a time and work on making it as best as I can while trying to make myself realize that it will never be perfect and I need to let it go otherwise I will never go anywhere. But I will get there 😁
As a new Vtuber I didnt do a debut yet, but was thinking one soon. Thank to this video, I feel more confident and I know what I need to do. Thank you.
I feel like this helped me a lot, I think I'm going to commission a model and try out PNGtubing.
the hard truths part is true. I'm a web novelist and the best advice I give out is
"underestimate how much you can write."
as in if you think you can do one chapter every three days maybe start with one a week instead because you can always upgrade to more and your fans will be happy but if you reduce the fans you've built wont be as happy with it while extras randomly will be loved.
Hi Mari!
Just wanted to let you know it was ultimately this video that got me started streaming with my vtube model! (Mid 2023's)
It's only been 3 weeks for me but it's been amazing. I played so many games already that i normally won't even touch by myself.
My community is extremely small right now, but it's amazing being able to do stuff with other people.
Once again, just wanted to say thank you!
how is it now?
So I am now finding this video and I am glad I did. I have been working with some people for a while on becoming a VTuber and had no idea how to start. Thanks for the tips!!!
Oh this video is very useful for the beginning to vtuber , you inspire me a little bit thank you so much. I will give this video 1 like
I have been wanting to become a content creator for a long time and I am still kind of lost, but this vid definitely put some of my worries to rest permanently. Thank you so much for this amazing information, you inspired me to work even harder and more passionately for this
i think eventually every more-or-less-big-vtuber gonna be basically an individual TV show. If that happens i wonder what are new faces gonna do to make it to the big, coz as time goes on, Vtubing (and content creation overall) becoming more professional and competitive, and i guess quality we see now watching someone like gura or korone most likely gonna be pretty common for an indiTubers right after debut. Crazy and amazing world we live in...
you saved my life with your video I really wanted to start being a vtber and another you explain it very well THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Thank you, Mari, that really gave me the boost and support I needed after Vtubing for years and wondering what's wrong with my growth.
I really appreciate the advice you gave and will try to change things up a bit. Thx!!! 😁
(There have been a lot of times where I felt like quiting before even having a model release, but I don't plan on letting myself give up anytime soon.)
thank you so much!! i have been working on a vtuber model for a while but like i lost motivation a lot cause i wouldn’t know where to go after i finished, but your videos have helped a lot!
My friend and I are just getting started and I have been putting so much work and effort into preparing the debut and brand. Making meme youtube shorts and tiktoks and twitter posts and I worried that this was time and effort i should be doing on other things. Thank you for making this video. You helped me realize I am on the right track. ❤
Theses sorts of videos are a blessing to have nowadays, especially when you wanna try/commit to a change, and even if I want these sorts of things going well for me, I just wanna be a Dragonic slime, it just sounds funnier to do then just having my face on a screen! 😂😂😂
Even though I am not planning on becoming a Vtuber I appreciated the video
1:04 as someone who plans on having a VERY unique model and format, this is super true! Beautiful stereotypical anime portraits oversaturate the market, naturally. 2 any1 else who is thinkin bout havin a SUPER cartoony model, or even doin Gacha VTubing- GO FOR IT! Trust me, it’ll stand out a lot :3
Someone enjoying your content and knowing who you are without knowing what Hololive is is probably one of the biggest compliments you can get as a Vtuber.
I really appreciate your content. I have a lot of anxiety and vtubers has been something Im interested because of the anonymity of it. But i love streaming communities and dream of entertaining people amd having a good time.
Woah. Genuine honesty and advice, sharing the secrets instead of lying about them. Kudos to you, my friend
Tip for anyone wanting to be a vtuber (Or any type of tuber) : If you feel burnt out, or having problems TAKE A BREAK, You should probably inform your followers, subscribers or whatever.
I can't wait to debut myself! :D Gathering info, getting everything ready, and then my debut as Fallen Morningstar :D
Thankyou for the reality check on a lot of this stuff! I didn't even know about debuting until stumbling across it, and have just been doing content creation as a streamer, with the idea of wanting to do Vtubing once my models done (as a way that lets me interact with the audience in a manner more comfortable/true to me). Knowing how much goes into the prep, I'm really glad I stumbled across your guide and will be carrying a lot of these tips going forward with debuting. Fingers crossed! Tysm
This is probably the most real and based video I've on the subject. Much appreciated!
Thank you so much for this video! I have started to become more interested in vtubing and the community and wanted to give it a try but I didn’t really know where to start. Now I have some ideas and still need to figure out a model. I wanted to get over my own social anxiety and fear through this and now I’m really inspired to try!
Me watching this at 3am being too broke for commissioning people and getting equipment
A lot of this I already sort of had in my head, but it was good to see it reiterated and clarified. Thanks for helping add to my focus!
Now back to prep work and all that that entails~
Thank you so much for this video! I've just debuted so this is perfect timing! 😊 Have a brilliant day!
This is the best explaining of the Way to be a VTuber
You're a queen, Mari.
Great video, i agree with a lot of what you said like join the community to be apart of it not just to spam content
THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR THIS!!
I'm not planning on streaming but thank you for these tips! I'm excited to get started. I'm planning on making a langage learning Vtuber, and maybe play some games as well when I get more used to this whole thing.
My scuffed ass just went live with no real plans, my debut didn't have ANYTHING set up, but it made for a hilarious night with my friends and it really set the tone of what to expect and people seemed to love it anyway
Rule of three always works best. You can have more than 3 aspects but having 3 main things is more memorable. So for example your a Cat girl, Sleepy aesthetic and you like muffins. You choose your main 3 things and go heavily into them. Make your design show them and make sure talk about them in some way. It help build your brand.
hey Mari , im just a new ASMR vtuber. I just want to thank you for this video, you gave me hope. As a content creator you go through a lot of states from enthusiasm to despair but what you do here really helps. Thanks😊😊😍😍😍😍
Thank you so much for this video! I've been streaming for years but Vtubing is a whole new monster and I am really happy to have found you. I appreciate what you've done for people like me 🥰
Thank you very much, I was just thinking about how to debut as a Vtuber and watch this video and how you want it fills me with determination, greetings from Venezuela ❤❤
Omg i really needed this. I’m brand new and I literally only get 1 viewer in streams and I don’t know how to network properly. This really helped open my eyes to what I should do. Thank you!
This singlehandedly made me create a complete APA essay asking myself these questions and answering them
I understand that most vtubers have a separate character to be as when they stream, but what if i just want to be me technically? people would say if you want to be you, just use a webcam, but I'm talking about me as my own persona, my own alter ego that i wished i was, would that be in any way relatable or even enjoyable? I think it may be to some extent because people relate to irl more than the characters some vtubers make themselves and I'm just going for the balance of being relatable as a human and also enjoyable as a character. This is all mostly because i really just want to be myself when i stream/record, but i don't want to show my irl face.
mari thankyou . i am having my model and and haven't debut, i wonder how to go on from here. After watching your videos , ideas pours down like a tsunami! Arigato~
thank you this helped me a lot to become a Vtuber in the future.
thankyou for such insight i'm actually working on making a live2d model and well jumping into this hobby on my days off from work XD (tempted to give some maid vibes as i work as a housekeeper)
When i start i already know what ima do for my short introduction and then release a story that goes into detail of the lure probably
This video is inspiring for everyone in their life, not only vtubing. Thank you it was really motivating to try things in life.
Me 2 years later coming back to this video for a refresher
Thank you so much for the tips, i didn't know about the debut but i know now. When i stream next time i would do the right way.
I plan on trying to become a Vtuber, but I'm gonna wait until I'm out of highschool and have a job. I'd also have a very tight schedule thanks to planning to start a dnd RUclips channel with my friends, me likely being our editor and host, and probably often the DM.
I just found this today and I am so glad I did! I'm still trying to fine the Communities I want to be apart of but this helped me a lot. THANK YOU SO MUCH !!
3:48 "yes. Eat the 16 pack of Duracells"
Someone finally said it. Vtubers are just content creators. Great video. :D
I've certainly thought about being a vtuber and half wanted to be for awhile
But at this point vtubing is flooded enough I'd have to have something really interesting to gain any attention, and quite honestly at this point I'm probably too depressed to actually do it and get anywhere assuming i could even start in the first place
It's weird, on one hand i feel like streaming and just goofing around is one of the few things i could do, but on the contrary the expectations to meet in order to be noticed are high enough that even that feels far out of reach now
I don't want to over hype myself and do tons of over exaggerated reactions because that'd feel disingenuous for me (nevermind feeling incredibly self conscious being loud with my neighbors in a house that isn't that sound proof) which is kinda a shame because that stuff is typically what gets clipped and what gets attention
And my situation, kinda makes it difficult to do anything needed to get started in the first place
my internet sucks (it loves to just cut out at random, on top of being generally too slow to keep up an HD stream at 3mbps up at best)
my computer sucks (my primary daily PC was built in 2013, no joke it's literally just that old it turns 9 in a month, so the avatar rendering + OBS kinda chomps up a good chunk of what little GPU and CPU i have even with facial tracking offloaded, and any fancy new games are out of the question entirely even without vtuber stuff running)
I'm too broke to buy any kind of better computer or any interesting new games (i could play mostly indie stuff i already own at least, but my library isn't that big and most aren't exciting) and my location is too remote to get better internet
And perhaps the biggest blocker, I'm generally not in a great place internally, depressed enough i can't really force myself to do normal work to deal with the above issues, and depressed enough my personality and motivation is kinda just like that of a pile of black bananas (might be great with the right help but generally pretty useless and almost nobody actually follows through with the banana bread plans) and i can't really get much help being in the middle of actual nowhere in a place that just forgot to recognise people who can't drive as people (rural america is great isn't it /s)
And another pretty big blocker though this kinda is directly related to the above is the fact that I'm not far off from being IRL mute, speaking only the bare minimum most days, and being too paranoid to even dare speak into a mic unless i know for sure nobody will overhear
So yeah, unfortunately whatever i theoretically might be able to create if i had the energy and chance, probably just won't get to be realised, I'm too stuck in the tar pit to even start, and oops i accidentally sadge posted in a RUclips comments section again, sorry for having to read this, i can't imagine many people will read this (yt algo might hide it for being depressio, though maybe that might be for the best)
If anybody reads this, i don't really expect to get anything (i have too many trust issues to accept much help anyways) but i guess at least thanks for reading my scrambled ramble bramble
And I guess if any up and coming or current vtubers read this, just know whatever hardships you've had along the way, you at least made it past the starting line, you got the chance to just do it and you did it, you've done what people like me couldn't and even if you don't make it big that's at least something that you yourself have succeeded with
And if anybody reads this and relates to any of my storm of issues, i guess you can take relief in knowing that you're not alone here (go ahead and reply with whatever you have, i posted my dump here so it's only fair)
Thank you so much. I'm planning my debut right now, and this video helps.
I tried making a 3d model in like late 2019 and who boy, if you’re going too self make your model set aside dedicated time. I’ve been putting of making anything for 3 years
Hi, Mari!
Yesterday, I started on my own Vtuber. I have my concept and story for her all planned out... And this video really helped a bunch. I’ll probably be making different social media accounts to promote after I get everything set up. I’m really nervous though. I really hope that people like her! And I really hope you see this so that you know how much you helped me!
Thank you! Awesome video 😊 a year later I am just getting into this. I made a model, and learning more and more. This advice was very much needed!
I’m planning to be a VTuber and been watching a lot of vids but yours is very helpful thank yooo plus your design is sooo cuuute!!! Definitely a SUB now!!!
The mention of Coco in this video made me tear up 😢 😢 1 year anniversary in a month and a half!
"growing slow is okay" *cries from relief* haha, thank you for the great video :)
This is so helpful to a newbie like me! I'm not going to lie, I'm so nervous about streaming BUT like you said! I just have to do it! 😄
You really opened my mind thankyou!
Thank you :0 I will start my journey
I want to be a vTuber in the future, but due to school I can't, I'm planning on saving up during high school, so after I graduate I can become a content creator like you, and other people
I knew vtubrrs existed before but I never really cared/ was that interested in them. But lately I really wanted to stream but just didn't want to show my face, I thought this was a good idea but goodness is going to be a rough ride. I'm excited though 😊
You kind of crushed my ego how to be a successful vtuber then I started ranting how nobody tells me what to do for 10 minutes. And my ego is back and I would like 2 thank you for putting gasoline on the wood. That has sent my spirit a Blaze.
i like the way you support london too
super helpful. as always. thank u!
im so glad i could help!!
As a new upcoming vtuber, this video was very informative! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I'm omw to redoing my vtuber and brand and this is helping me so much :D
Thank you, you have so much good advice to all streamers. I love it!
I wanna be a Vtuber... but I'm shy...
A deer?
Yeah I think it's perfect..
Thank you for all the advices on vtubing🥰 im so happy theres advises for starter vtubers 🥰
This video has been exactly what I've been looking for! With this, my research is complete! Thank you Mari! You're the best!!!
Thank you! This video is very useful^^ I'm in vtube community for a longer time and I'm thinking of starting my vtube carrier too, tho I'm kinda scared and I dont think of me as of a person that can entertain other people or be somehow unique and all that stuff that makes someone memorable 👁👁 but I'll never know until I'll give it a shot! Ty again^^ and have a great day/night
Thanks for the vid mari just recently started vtubing and really have no idea what to do other than stream on twitch this video helps alot.
The realest version of this video i have watched
