@PumperPixel Always tram your bed, always. Take failures in stride. Don't be ashamed to use glue sticks on the bed. And run a few calibration models. Did you get a printer yet?
@dralejandro89@games_primate The pedal machines are too short stroke fire me to use properly. I have one and it just winds up crushing my... <.< spirit.
So you want to become a VTuber in 2025?!
Here is a guide on how to get started, made by 4 year full-time VTuber and Manager, Lulu!
1. Know your goals
Know if you are getting into VTubing as a hobby or as a business from the start and set your expectations accordingly.
2. Start small
F2U and P2U models and assets are available plenty via Nizima and Booth, VRoidstudio is free to make a 3D avatar with.
3. Test the waters
Make sure that streaming is possible for you, test your tech, your upload/download speeds, your voice, your set-up. Make sure that you give yourself a good experience as well as your future audience.
4. Take your time
Getting to affiliate/monetization will take time, getting used to the tech side of things takes time. It's unlikely you will wake up to 1k viewers overnight, and not every day will be great interactions only.
5. Connect with other VTubers
Make space and time for new friends, don't see them as networking opportunities or competition, but people on the same path.
6. Grow organically
Using Ads or shifty tactics to stand out can not only jeopardize your standing in the community but can cost you your channel.
7. Don't give up
Even on days when things are difficult, don't give yourself too much pressure. Enjoy what you can and don't let other people or tech problems get you down, the journey is worth it.
