From Lurker to VTuber, Why I Finally Hit "Go Live"

[EchoBerry]

Hey everyone, I am Echo Berry. For the longest time, I was just watching. Lurking in chats. Clipping funny moments. I admire how some VTubers could turn a simple stream into a whole little universe. I’d open VTube Studio “just to test” and spend hours playing with my avatar, tweaking expressions, adding props I never used, then close it without ever going live.

Part of me wasn’t sure I had anything new to offer. Everyone seemed so polished, so ready. But over time, I realized... maybe the mess is part of the magic. Maybe showing up imperfectly is still showing up. So here I am. Still finding my voice. Still learning how not to crash my overlays. But for the first time, I’m not just watching—I’m doing. And honestly, that’s kind of huge for me. I’m here because I love the creativity, the weirdness, the niche communities here that somehow feel like home.
