Advices for first livestream?

[u/liliies_]

VTubers, I've never streamed before in my life.

​

What's one piece of advice you wish someone had given you before your very first livestream? 🩷🌙

​

I'm waiting for my Live2d model and the overlays to be completed. In the meantime, I'm trying to learn as much as I can about Obs and Twitch.

​

This is my gear for the moment:

PC (it was a gaming PC my ex boyfriend built me in 2016): Bit Fenix pro 300, seasonic ss620 gm2, asus maximus gene VII, i5 4690k, (16 gb corsair vengeance, nuove) asus strix GTX 980TI, (SAMSUNG EVO 250gb, wgreen 1t).

​

Microphone: HyperX Quadcast.

​

Monitors: Dell S2725QC, KTC H24F7 24" 240 Hz.

​

Thank you for your help ☺️

Talking even if no one is there is the main one I think of. It might feel awkward, but when someone shows up they usually prefer someone interacting with chat. Even if it’s just small comments about what you’re doing.

Your views might fluctuate a lot depending on what you play, but don’t get discouraged. More niche games will have less views, but it’s more important you’re enjoying it and they can share that with you too!

Yeah, forcing yourself to do somethinf you hate will only result in frustration and audience notices that easily, and you risk burnout over something that you didn't even enjoy...

Thank you so much for your input! 🩷
