What to expect in this course:

Welcome to the sensational world of VTubing! 

In this form of live-streaming, you use an avatar to stream instead of a webcam. Some VTubers create themselves in animation, others create entirely new personas and original characters. 

4 Reasons to Choose VTubing. It gives you the ability to customize your character, and a chance to connect with new viewers and fellow streamers alike. There is a creative liberty that VTubing provides in your experience as a content creator, an opportunity to build a whole new world for your community. In recent years, streaming as a VTuber has become much more accessible through intuitive technology, that is thankfully less expensive than before. There is lots of freedom to explore new horizons and broaden your scope as a creator.

Spofie

She/Her

Spofie is a Lalafell Vtuber, 5 year Twitch partner, and 2020 Twitch ambassador. She has a passion for creating cozy content and fostering an inclusive environment. She streams every night, and while her primary content is Final Fantasy 14 focused, she also makes sure to do at least one variety night a week to explore other games. Some of her favorites are RPGs, indies, and strategy games, but the channel has showcased a wide array of genres!

“I found myself continuously less comfortable with presenting myself on camera for stream. I deal with pretty severe body dysmorphia, and it was preventing me from excelling at what I loved doing, streaming. For a while, I tried to just stream without a camera, and while it helped relieve that feeling, I didn’t feel like I could have the same personal connection with my community that I had while on camera. Entering the VTubing scene made a world of difference in my ability to be comfortable streaming, while also expressing my creativity and sense of self.”

VTuber Salamimeats is a bunny-rabbit God who runs a deli - with the power of 100% vegan friendly meat! Come swing by the deli for a bite to eat and a chance to chat with an ancient deity.

“I have very bad anxiety about how I look while streaming so I was never able to use a webcam due to this. I definitely feel like I am able to be myself with the use of my VTuber.”

Becoming a VTuber, or even a PNGTuber for completely free is fairly simple.
There will just be limitations to what you can do and how customizable you can make your model. But with time, practice, and a little bit of savings – the choices in your VTubing journey are endless.
