@LoopTheory Totally get that mix of excitement and nerves! I wish someone told me to not stress about being perfect from day one just start streaming and improve as you go. It’s way more fun that way! Good luck, you got this!

@LoopTheory That’s such a cool idea! For me, I would definitely add some interactive accessories like a little pet that reacts when I am talking or when chat sends emojis. Makes the avatar feel way more alive and personal!

If you have been streaming for a while or just got started too, I would love to hear what overlays and BGM you swear by! Feel free to drop links or screenshots of your setup. Always here to learn and improve.

@NightSky Hey! So, I am still kinda new to all this, but what got me into VTubing was honestly just falling down a YouTube rabbit hole one night.

I stumbled across some clips of Hololive girls being absolutely chaotic and hilarious, and I was like, “Wait… people do this as anime avatars?!” I have always loved anime and gaming, so seeing people mix both while also building a community seemed really cool.

What really pulled me in was how creative everyone is like, you don’t just stream, you build a whole character, a vibe, sometimes even a little lore. It’s kind of a perfect outlet if you are shy but still want to express yourself.

I am still figuring things out like how to set up my model and not totally mess up my mic but what keeps me going is how supportive the community is and how fun it is to just be a little more "you," but with cat ears lol.

Would love to hear everyone else’s origin stories too!

Hey everyone!

I am new to Vtubersnest and really excited to finally be part of a community where VTuber fans can chat, share, and geek out together.

I have been following V-Tubers for a while now — from the Hololive girls and indie gems to rising ENVtubers — and I love how creative and passionate this whole space is. I am especially into the behind-the-scenes of content creation, model design, and community building. Lately, I have also started exploring the tech and workflows that go into V-Tubing, like avatar tools and live streaming setups.

Outside of V-Tubing, I enjoy anime, digital art, and jumping into random fandom rabbit holes.

Looking forward to meeting some of you, discovering new creators, and being part of discussions here. If you’ve got tips for getting started on this forum or any threads I shouldn’t miss, let me know!
