She shares her personal journey from animator to VTuber, discusses the costs and challenges involved, and offers advice on building an audience and developing a unique persona. ### Key Points - **Introduction to VTubing** [00:15] — Severina Soda introduces herself as a VTuber and explains that VTubers are animators who bring a model to life, often creating an animated series with a plot that unfolds live. - **Custom Avatars and Lore** [02:32] — VTubers often have custom avatars created according to their own concept, influenced by lore (e.g., catgirl, shark girl, vampire). She jokes about a 'secret' to getting a free model: draw and animate it yourself. - **Cost of a VTuber Model** [03:43] — Good artists can be found starting from 20,000 rubles, but a fully prepared file for animation can cost around 50,000 rubles. The model requires hundreds of layers for realistic animation. - **Animation Software: Live2D** [05:48] — 2D VTuber avatars are animated in Live2D. She demonstrates a simplified chibi model with fewer layers, animated three days before the festival. - **Keyframes and Warp Deformer** [06:56] — Like Flash animation, keyframes are defined and the program fills in between. A grid called Warp Deformer allows multiple manipulations (e.g., head turn and blinking) under one layer. - **Adding Physics to the Model** [09:41] — Physics is added to objects like hair, skirts, and sparkles to react to head rotation, blinking, or body movement. This makes the model more lively. - **VTube Studio and Face Capture** [10:39] — The model is exported from Live2D to VTube Studio, which captures the user's face and turns it into the avatar. It is not a filter; the avatar cannot fly off and reveal the real face. - **Building an Audience** [18:00] — The easiest way to gain an audience is through a debut, where existing VTuber communities (like Hololive) can bring viewers. However, charisma and content are key to retaining viewers. - **Advice for Aspiring VTubers** [20:06] — She advises trying streaming with a PNG model first before investing heavily. Many people spend money on a model without understanding streaming or self-promotion. - **Cost of a Quality Model** [34:42] — The average price for a good quality model in the Russian segment is around 60,000 rubles for art and animation combined. - **Technical Mishaps** [38:40] — She recounts her first debut where she forgot to click 'start stream' on YouTube, talking to herself for a while before realizing the error. - **Advantages of Being a VTuber** [41:47] — She enjoys leading a double life like Hannah Montana, being recognized when she wants but also able to be anonymous. - **Dealing with Hate and Trolls** [44:48] — VTubers face hate and trolls; one must have patience and confidence. The media sphere is not for those who cannot handle criticism. - **VTuber Community vs. Streamers** [47:14] — VTubers may not reach the popularity of top streamers, but the community is tight-knit. Even with 50 viewers, other VTubers will know you. - **Audience Engagement** [50:04] — She values her active audience that creates memes and local jokes, which she believes is unique to VTubers compared to regular streamers. ### Conclusion Severina Soda's guide demystifies VTubing, emphasizing that while the technical and financial barriers are real, success ultimately depends on charisma, creativity, and resilience. She encourages aspiring VTubers to start small, learn the tools, and be prepared for both the rewards and challenges of the medium. ## Transcript You must be feeling so inspired right now. But of course, you're leaving the house for the first time in a year . And where to? On IgroMir, where there are many nolifers like you, in parasocial relationships in parasocial relationships with Freeren, Gavrgura, and Makima. It sounds harsh, but don't be offended. You hear these words from a YouTuber, but we don’t even leave the room. And in general, in fact, sweaty forty-year-old skufs, making money from the same gullible skufs. Cool life, huh? Do you want the same? Who also wants to stream and not have to clean their room and get themselves in order. Then let me introduce you to the base for YouTubers. And how to become one? My name is Severina Soda. I'm a YouTuber. I lead a chaotic media life. I love to humiliate my viewers on streams. Well, what are they watching on YouTube, losers? I also record covers of my songs. I make compilations, funny videos on various topics, and attend lectures at the festival. In general, I try my best. And you thought, I put on an avatar, turned on Voice Changers and that's it. I loot millions of poor anime fans. To succeed, you either have to be lucky or work hard. Well, I was born on November 13th. It’s already clear that I won’t get anything for free in this life . And I'm also my own daddy. I don't know what you were thinking. We are YouTubers, that's what we call the animators who brought the model to life for us. How are YouTubers different from regular streamers? real life, my subscribers would say. But in reality, being a YouTuber turns out to be more than just having an avatar and hidden complexes. Many YouTubers base their images on ENT. What you see on the streams is an animated series with a plot that unfolds live. Yes, you can still influence him, but, of course, the character's story is secondary, and not all Vtubers play a role. If you just want to hide behind an avatar, no one will judge you. But the appearance of your character comes from the Lore . Of course, you can try out a free model from the internet, but most often, YouTubers have custom avatars created according to their own concept from indie streamers or agencies. Lorubera influences what race he will be. Porridge girl, shark girl. vampire, angel, demon. But I know a trick to get such a model absolutely free. It's a secret. I've been in this industry for a very long time and I 've found a loophole. Come closer. Closer, closer, closer, closer. Come on , come on, come on, come on. I'll just tell anyone, otherwise everyone will use it and there will be a To get your own custom model for free, download any drawing program you're comfortable with, draw it with pen, and then animate it yourself. Just don't let anyone know this is a secret. I don’t know how you are with drawing, but as a person with golden hands, which, however, grow from the wrong place, I drew my first body. Yes, that's it. No, I only used it for a couple of months, not many years, and I got it from someone. It just looked so shabby to begin with. And over time, I didn’t become a better artist, but enjoyed my charisma, but was wary of my image, and donated to me so that I could finally afford to be a real artist. Depending on the quality, you can find good artists starting from 20,000. And I won't tell you price is, otherwise you'll think all YouTubers are just streaming for fun, but they actually have a business in Moscow . But the amount could be huge, right? regular art different from art created for a YouTuber's cleft model? Say funny gremlin naked dismemberment. Uh, sorry, I just wrote this script a month ago, and everything I'm going to say here is new to me. Okay, apologize. It is planned to joke about scripts. Eat. Anyone with even a modicum of spatial thinking understands that if you cut up regular PN art into arms, legs, and a head and try to animate something out of it , you'll get something like this. If you don't see the difference and that's enough for you, then congratulations, you can save about 50 thousand. And this is what a file prepared for animation should actually look like. You may notice that the model shows all the details in layers, especially those that are obscured by the top layer. But by removing it, we see that this detail is also fully drawn. Anything that takes up a separate layer will also be animated separately. And the more layers, the more active and realistic the animation can be. For example, if the glitter on the eyes is on its own layer, then, accordingly, it can be made movable. This will make the model appear movable. This will make the model appear more alive. Oh, don't tell anyone what costs money, actually. And a big thank you to Kamysh for providing me with her old body as a visual aid for YouTubers' anatomy. Now you understand where such sums can come from if you just ordered a drawing. In reality, drawing each layer separately, and there can be hundreds of them, is a much more complex and time-consuming task, which on average takes a month and another month for animation. But for our crash course, I'll be showing you a simplified chib model with much fewer layers that I animated 3 days before the festival. Therefore, I ask you to apologize immediately for any errors . You can draw in any drawing program, in PSD format, even in Photoshop. But the animation of 2D VUP avatars occurs only in the Chinese animation program Live 2D. In fact, using tutorials found on YouTube, you can quite easily make your first model to a high standard. The main thing is to pay attention to references with a head turn so that your face doesn’t move away separately. Well, and more or less know human anatomy. For convenience, you can use a mirror and see how you move, blink, and which muscles are involved in different emotions. Or become showcases from other more advanced riggers. Oh, yeah, I didn't swear just now. By the way, a rig is what they call animation for a model. Well, and the people who do this crap for money, the riggers. Or maybe, as you become a YouTuber, you'll enjoy it so much and collect more money than YouTubers themselves from donations, and you'll become more professional at it. As with regular Flash animation, there are keyframes that you define, and the program itself fills in the frames between these two. But this doesn't always happen correctly, which is why you need more keyframes. For example, to rotate along the X axis left and right, we have three frames. And on the Y axis up and down there are also three key frames. The main position of the model is most often OneF for a more convenient rig, animation and to make it faster . For example, they made it to the right and mirrored it to the left. Very convenient. That is, this is the situation we get . This is where we start animating. By the way, I've never done that. But what happens if I delete the middle key point of the WF character, from which we essentially begin to build the head turns. In Life 2D, it is possible, and the future avatar requires it , to allow several manipulations to be carried out simultaneously under one layer. For example, for the eye, this is at least a head turn and blinking; to avoid running a dozen animations that will break each other over one poor layer, there is a grid like this. It makes work easier. Usually one or two animations are laid on it, and for other animations another grid is created on top of this grid . If you go deeper, it works a bit complicated, but if you try, you can figure it out. Come on, even I could do it. And this is an indicator. Over time, learning how to rig becomes more and more routine as there is less and less you don't know . From now on you continue to do things according to the old scheme. You'll have deeper turns, more physics-based objects, more interesting details. The turns can be made so realistic that sometimes it seems like 3D. But don't panic, it's still 2D, girls, because 2D is torture you with this theory anymore. You won't remember it anyway, while you're still remember it anyway, while you're still listening to me. You're listening, right? Fine. Testing your attentiveness. What is the name of this grid? called Warp Deformer. But now it won't give you anything. You need personal practice. I'm just giving you a quick heads up on what you're in for . Oh yeah, remember I showed hundreds of layers on a regular PSD model. Now imagine how many animation meshes there will be in Life 2D, given that there is at least one animation on each layer. Boo! They got scared. Let's fast forward to the finale. This is what we ended up with at the keyframe animation stage . A bit crude, yes, as if another model for some outstanding agency was ready. But we will now correct this with physics. No, did you think that YouTubers' cat ears are tracked from real ears? No. It's all the magic of physics and animation. We go to the physics window and add objects that do not have their own grip element. For example, hair, skirts, sparkle in grip element. For example, hair, skirts, sparkle in the eyes, any dangling objects, bobs, and we add physics to them that react to basic elements like to basic elements like head rotation for hair, blinking eyes for head rotation for hair, blinking eyes for elastic eyelashes, or the body for elastic boing-boing. And here's what the difference between a model with and without physics looks like. Oh, look at this cutie. And the animator has such skillful hands. Yes, I am an animator. And there's one last step left before you finally leave the become a YouTuber. No, I'm serious. return to normal life again. There will be no turning back. Okay, fine, I tried. Export the model from Live 2D and send it directly to a folder in another program called VTube Studio. This is exactly the program you see on the streams. It helps to capture your unsightly face and turn it into a your unsightly face and turn it into a cute anime girl. No, this is not a filter, as many might think. And by predicting your future question, your avatar cannot fly off like a filter and burn your face. Everything you've seen on the internet so far was just YouTubers' tricks to get views, and you fell for it. I have used this myself more than once. But it is impossible to sleep face through this program. Even if you accidentally show a window with a face capture, that's all you and your viewers will see. Well, do you recognize me? Are you kidding? It was me who starred in the movie Mask. Next, some minor settings in the program itself for your convenience in capturing. And voila. You're not a human being anymore, damn it . Now you are a Vituber, as always. Have a terrible evening. They forgot to turn on my microphone. Have a terrible evening, Igromir, everyone who is there. Yes. Unfortunately, today I will only be able to communicate with you via chat. If anything happens, whoever is sitting at the computer for now, kick it, and through it you can ask me all sorts of questions. While I don’t know yet, the fact that the computer at IgroMir broke down today probably has nothing to do with the fact that I was supposed to be interviewed today. It's still there . I just removed the competitors. For example, today Trixie Vox wanted to play voice acting with you again . Jayley also wanted to do some voice-over work with you. Now look who's here. Only Severina, Soda, and no one else. Yes. Have a terrible evening. Have a terrible evening. It's not day yet. OK. Have a terrible evening. It's not day yet. OK. Have a terrible day. Play peace. How are you? Otherwise, I see that many, many people have already started to get sick. We've survived the third day. Who's at IgroMir today? First day. Are there any people here at all IgroMir today? First day. Are there any people here at all or just those who are living out their last days? The rest? No one will save us. There is no one around here. So, if anything, I probably already realized that the internet on the Thunder World itself is very bad . Ah, so if you succeed, you can write to me through the chat, you can ask there, maybe they will give you a connection. Okay, as you can see, I have problems myself. I can’t help you, I have a lot of problems myself. Anyway, my name is Severina Soda. Once again, yesterday I was with you in a dinosaur costume. Yesterday there were n't any, oh, there were streams yesterday and the day before, but today there won't be a stream because everything broke. And I because everything broke. And I swear to you, I have nothing to do with it. It's just a coincidence. It 's a miracle that the stream didn't crash yesterday while I was signing autographs. Okay, now that's a miracle. Have a terrible, terrible day everyone. Severinuda when the dinosaur and meteorite collab. But when will Severisoda be gone? Apparently, a collapse has occurred And this is an idea. I suggest doing a couples cosplay with someone for next Halloween. I'll be in a dinosaur costume, and, for example, Moki-Myoki will be in a meteorite costume. How do you like this? internet broke. So, for those of you on the stream who don't understand, in short, we had a ton of problems, and we didn't know how to solve them. In the end, we decided that I would launch a stream, and we would somehow get it onto Igromir. Moki-Myoki, I agree. All. Well, it's true, we've already told the audience what we're going to have. So it's not a secret. You know, YouTubers and a dinosaur not a secret. You know, YouTubers and a dinosaur and a meteorite, who will be her shadow. Uh, like, back and forth. Damn, I really wanted to have music playing back and forth on the stand yesterday, but then I realized there was too stand yesterday, but then I realized there was too much swearing. I won't bleep this out. much swearing. I won't bleep this out. Hey-hey-hey-hey, wait. No. Oh, remove it. I turned off the sound, but it still plays. Don't throw any donations, don't throw anything. throw anything. What are you talking about? I'll turn off the stream now. Got it? Here. Anyway, I'm not only a YouTuber, I was also a rigger at one time. I myself, was also a rigger at one time. I myself, Reger, am in a lot of I'm not very good at it, but that my internet is also weak, because I also use Igromir. I am my own dad. Yes, dads are what they call triggers, animators, and moms are artists. Here, turn it off. I have it turned off, noob. I do n't have any meme-makers on this stage . He is absent. I just don't have it . And donation is disabled. In short, I don’t know how it works, so Yes, you’re breaking our entire internet from home. If A you know what? If I did n't have a stream today, everything would probably be smooth for you and your computer would work. I would n't be surprised at all if Pok's computer starts working tomorrow and everything is fine and dandy. Just today. Or maybe I'll finish the stream now, and he'll be like, "Guys, guys, everything's and he'll be like, "Guys, guys, everything's working, everything's great." turn off the sound. So, here I am, already a YouTuber. Why break the internet at IgroMir? This is from the moment. I have nothing to do with it. It's a curse. This is my curse. Question from the audience. How did you become a dinosaur at 50 ? It's as if, you know, I somehow stepped past the mammoth stage and became a stepped past the mammoth stage and became a dinosaur. You can also ask me questions about animation or any about animation or any YouTube topics, because I’ve been a YouTuber for 5 years now, and YouTube topics, because I’ve been a YouTuber for 5 years now, and next year will be my 5th year as a YouTuber. next year will be my 5th year as a YouTuber. I'm not an elephant, I'm a dinosaur. . You know what? Here's my dinosaur dance from yesterday. It fit very well with the music of yesterday. It fit very well with the music of Pop XXL attach it to my face? Now, wait. This is what you need to work for. No, I won’t work, I’m too lazy. Here is Severina Soda, write it together, and this will be my Twitch channel. Well , actually, , actually, I'd like to tell you that the easiest way, I'd like to tell you that the easiest way, probably, for getting an audience for me, as far as you know, was during my debut, my debut, if anything, that's what it's called when a YouTuber debuts with his new model, his new character and talks about himself as a character and all that. Ah, and usually people rely only on, well, okay, in foreign, there are big agencies for foreigners, large ones, like, for example, Hell Life. Oh, and, for example, if they have a new generation, a new YouTuber, then the entire audience of other YouTubers and of Hlolife itself, of course, comes to watch the debut of the new YouTuber, especially if he has a cute model. You know, here's Gavargura, she has good charisma, but people didn't know that, and they just came to model, cute. Everyone was interested in it. So this image also has a very strong influence on appearance, but still, it comes to you, it comes to you to look and evaluate. If the funny content is interesting, they stay. If not, you'll still be a cool character to draw, to create art for, but there won't be many people watching your streams. That's why it's still necessary to develop and be able to communicate somehow. Fantasy. I will say that imagination plays a very big role. No. Maybe you have some other talents. Maybe you're an eSports athlete, maybe you're a stand-up comedian, maybe you're a musician. It is not necessary to have it then, although it is necessary for a stand-up comedian, but in any case, charisma will always be positive and can be developed. of course, people will be interested in the fact that you are a musician, but imagine the audience that likes And they don't necessarily need you to be a YouTuber, but they might disown you YouTuber, but they might disown you if you are. Paste, don't write paste. Otherwise, I'll let questions from the audience through here. I'm 30, it's not too late to become an anime V-Tuber. That's the whole V-Tuber. That's the whole point. You can be an old granny but act like a young girl, as in this case. You see, and no one will hold you accountable for your age, yes, even if you show your real age, for example, that I am actually 119 years old, no one actually 119 years old, no one believes it. , the further the wrinkle carries the raisins, the tastier they are. Question question from Poka. Why does don't? You have this paid icon. This is this is enough. He did n't earn it. By the way, you can't earn a VIP card for money. You can only pay with can't earn a VIP card for money. You can only pay with your souls and Kryshkoins. Birthday. You can congratulate me directly on IgroMir. You're not lying. Show your passport. Show me. Here. I'll show my passport to someone, and they'll confirm whether my birthday is true or not. If not, then I will call you names in front of everyone and say that you are a liar. Avoid this person . Yes, it's difficult to combine my chat with a 6+ rating on IgroMir. It's a bit complicated. all. I proudly declare that the closet is a liar. An arrogant liar and a rude man. Don't be friends with the closet. That's it, block all YouTubers. I urge you to cancel the closet, block it, it, and put these 3D shitty figures that he makes on your avatar, and cross them out to show everyone how we are canceling the closet of the closet of the closet. my chat to the stream yet, because it swears itself. He himself swore at me in the chat so you can’t show something like that on the stream . knees, I apologize, I lied. Then it turns out that he is a deceiver for now. birthday, then so be it. Happy birthday. YouTubers would know about it. And all the other YouTubers got sick, who were supposed to be other YouTubers got sick, who were supposed to be irti. By the way, maybe you didn’t know, but right now there’s a maybe you didn’t know, but right now there’s a quest going on at IgroMir, for which I came up with ideas, by the way . What do you need there? In short, you need to collect 10 stickers. If you collect 10 stickers, then there was a T-shirt giveaway yesterday and there will be one today. Those who haven't won a T-shirt yet need to collect all the stickers. Stickers are given there; three stickers are given for subscriptions to one, two and three subscriptions to one, two and three Vitubers. Accordingly, the Vitubers. Accordingly, the funniest thing is to shout it out. Oh, damn, I'm being restricted from all sides here . And stream on Igromir, and limits me. I can't say half the words . How to conduct an interview my . How to conduct an interview my favorite taboo words? can you not rely on anyone at all? Where are the stickers? Nightmare. the stickers? Nightmare. What a mess! Severina Soda. Sakvaesh against severina soda. idea. One day I will learn to say all the bad words in Morse code. This is the kind of censorship that will be unusual. Have you answered such a question? But many people may see you for the first time. This is an interesting question. Why do you always Enjoy watching. Explain, explain, what is this local rofl. what is this local rofl. I am distinguished by my special dislike of spectators. It all started, actually, with the fact that initially I was just like that , well, it’s not that I don’t like it, rather I openly and honestly say that crazy people irritate me, and there are a lot of them. Especially in anime chats, girls come and write all sorts of nonsense, or whatever you're looking at, and you just can't answer and what to say, like make a face and say thank you. No, I'll say it openly, I'll say I wrote nonsense, ban. Here. But it was somehow exaggerated, that I But it was somehow exaggerated, that I became a real sadist. That is, from my openness, who is it that I directly dislike someone, who does not deserve directly dislike someone, who does not deserve love. It turned out that simply 96% of people, and in the chat, all 100%, do not deserve that I, or any streamer or YouTuber in general, treat them with respect. None of you deserve this. You YouTube viewers, of course, none of you deserve this kind of treatment. Therefore, from openness and straightforwardness it grew into some kind of sadism. And you don’t want me to, I, so to speak, streaming is my job, I earn money from it. Well, what should I say, thank you for paying me my salary? Yes, these are donations, yes, what is it called? Encouragement. Well, that's what they give to homeless people in the underpass. This is the same thing they give to streamers. No, I earned this with my own efforts. So I didn't just throw in: "Guys, I want this game, guys, I want to buy this one. Chip in for me." No, I'm working. I work on stream. I mostly get alms from the stream. Well, you could say, a nightmare sgromir. Oh, someone was able to connect. Really? Nightmarish. Here. And, accordingly, the whole image was exaggerated. And I didn’t want to say thank you for the donation, but I have to respond to it somehow. Besides the fact that I respond to a message in a donation, I also need to respond somehow to the fact that someone sent me a donation. But thank you. No, it doesn't suit my image at all, so no thanks for the donation. That's how it all went. Soda cancelled the closet, then cancelled the cancellation of the closet and cancelled the pok. And then I decided to cancel everyone, because I’m too lazy to figure out who’s right and who’s wrong. Let's do it this way. In short, now the closet and the cabinet go one on one to the center of the closet and the cabinet go one on one to the center of the room and either fight or make a website. Whoever makes the website or wins the fight is right. Yes. The year is 2025. fight is right. Yes. The year is 2025. Who is right is decided by force. The see it, but you can write me a circle. You don't have to do a somersault, you can at least do a somersault. Damn, the wardrobe is going to break its neck. Wait, I can make a better joke. Oh, the closet will break its own mezzanine. And now I will be to blame for this. I'm forcing you. This was a joke, by the way. Although, actually, for the third day now there has been a meme going around in the chat about how Sgromir write directly in the chat, you can even tag me so that I notice, or you can write about what you've been up to, so you can ask questions. Foka sent a video, ask questions. Foka sent a video, damn, I'll watch it later. Like this The closet scammed itself. There is no Skyme. There was no salto. We are canceling the wardrobe. was no salto. We are canceling the wardrobe. We're canceling the cabinet all over again. We block. I do My wedding. When is the wedding? I was invited to a wedding yesterday. Let me remind you. There were such somersaults. Davarioti is on my side. Noobchan. I'll deal with the noobs then. asked you a question. It is not you who is interviewing me , but I am interviewing you. Who would you like to see as invited guests? Let's say I doubt that this will happen again . Well, let's let our imagination run wild. In a year you will forget about everything anyway. We can promise you, and you will forget everything anyway . Who would you like to see . Who would you like to see as YouTuber guests? very much dreaming about this. Well, I’m thinking, for example, but I don’t know, if there were instrixies, then maybe it would work. I prepared a list of questions. Yes, I remember being told that you have a whole notebook of this with you. This is not a notebook of this with you. This is not a death note, but a cancellation note for YouTubers. being in Cherno. Although I did have a dinosaur-shaped isolation mask. And you, such infectious bastards, still infected me. Although, as they say, infection does not stick to infection . it, the rest of you can sit and wait. Now we answer the list of questions about the Now we answer the list of questions about the closet. Why did you decide to become a YouTuber? In fact, there were no ideas. Hm. Hm. In fact, there were no ideas. Hm. Hm. Now. And the idea of ​​becoming a YouTuber was not mine. I was just a blogger, charismatic, interesting. Well, at the same time I was involved in animation, I worked. Here. This is after leaving the animation studio company. Here. And I decided to look for where they actually hire what they need. Here. And somehow I came across vitubebing. It was just the twentieth year, I think, either the twentieth or the twenty-first somewhere around there . And I started to study this Live 2D And I started to study this Live 2D program in general. I'm like, "Oh, the hype is all over now, everyone's sitting at home. YouTubers are on the rise. They're all hyped up now. Russian YouTubers are coming and I need to, so to speak, grab a little old-timer's spot among the animators. So I decided to become a rigger. At first, I did what I told you yesterday, which was inspired by myself. That is, I just made my first body the way I looked, yes, with the same bags under my eyes. Okay. No, actually, I do have dark circles under my eyes, but not dark circles under my eyes, but not bags. But I embellished it a little. Usually they embellish, but the opposite is true. Well, so that people immediately understand what they're dealing with. Well, basically, I drew it as best I could. I'm not an artist. I just looked at some examples, for example, found some eyes that I liked, more or less tried to draw, it seems like I found something, not I know, the hair I want. Well, somehow I got my first body. And all mine, so to speak, I was just studying the program and sharing my experience with people online. That's how Skyboots found me. That's it . And they decided, "Come on, Soda, you'll become a YouTuber yourself." I was Soda, you'll become a YouTuber yourself." I was like, "I'm a YouTuber, roleplaying is cringe." And lots and lots of YouTubers make money. Okay, I'm going. Well, in general, as an experiment, so to speak, it wasn't very serious, because I really didn't understand anything about YouTube, except that it was streamers with an avatar. That's it. But it turns out I got hooked, and at some point I just stopped doing it. I saw this from other YouTubers in Russia who are also, for example, artists or animators, and I noticed that people's work sucks them in, and you have to make a choice. You either work constantly and make money, or you stream constantly and do nothing. You don't earn money. I chose a poor but happy life. I sit on streams and call people names. I think this is what I deserve. I just enjoy doing this. How long have I been streaming? As a YouTuber? I've been a YouTuber for 5 years. And by the way, I want to say that for I've been a YouTuber for 5 years. And by the way, I want to say that for questions, I have something to draw out, because, frankly speaking, why am I a good streamer? Because in my head, one question leads to other questions . And I need to say: "I can't remain silent." "This will all stay with me silent." "This will all stay with me until I forget it." I forgot. What I wanted to say is that many people become YouTubers without ever trying either streaming or blogging. This is a mistake in the sense that if people spend a ton of money to become a YouTuber, because the become a YouTuber, because the average price for models in the Russian segment now is art and animation, but somewhere around art and animation, but somewhere around 60,000 for a more or less good, high- quality model. That's it. And I never understand people who become YouTubers without ever understanding what streaming is, how to promote yourself, and all that stuff. No, it's one thing if you have a ton of money, it's purely a hobby for you, and you won't be offended that you won't take off, you'll be unpopular. Maybe you're just having fun, like it's some kind of game for you. That's it. No questions for you. Rather, for people who immediately decided: "Oh, I want to be a YouTuber and make a ton of money." No, try at least with a PNG model or just stream, because, for example, streaming isn't everything. recommendations, especially if you're young. My first stream, unfortunately, I remember the beginning. I don't remember what happened next. Basically, it was my debut, and at that streamer. But the problem is that I was an experienced Twitch streamer, and my debut was on YouTube. So. And I was inexperienced in terms of V-tube. That's why, for example, maybe the picture didn't look quite right. Now, as you can see, I'm a beauty and I look beautiful, and the picture is bright. So. And the first one probably did n't look very good. I left myself somewhere in the corner of the small one, something was lagging, and the chat didn't show up. I don't understand either. Every time I created a new chat for myself, it didn't show up on the first stream, although I had been working before. My first debut started with the fact that I, along with my team Kaibut, which I had already joined, became an individual YouTuber. We all debuted together as a team. That's it. Well, one YouTuber one day, then another YouTuber the next day. So, I already had quite a large online audience. I think about 60 people came to my first stream. And this, in fact, back then, it was interested in every YouTuber. After all, the YouTube community was small back then, and everyone was interested in who the new YouTubers were, especially some new YouTubers were, especially some new team. Plus, I decided beforehand that I didn't want zero people at my debut , so I posted all on TikTok, and, accordingly, from there I already had an audience for my first stream. That's it. But the problem was Basically, for those who don't know, on YouTube you first need to click on there's a you didn't check it, you'll do it like this. First, you click "start broadcast" in OBS , then go to the YouTube channel and click "broadcast" there. I did n't do that because I'm used to Twitch. So, I clicked "start broadcast." I sat there, said hello to the viewers, chatted. I asked them something, and they answered me. Then, after a while, I finally started to notice, the chat was flying pretty fast. That's it. And people were writing something on topic. And then I started noticing a bunch of messages. "When will the soda arrive?" "When will the stream even start?" Anyway, it turned out I forgot to click the " start stream" button on YouTube. Or rather, I didn't know I was supposed to do it that way. So, I started, and my stream started with a word that you can't say on IgroMir, starting with the letter S. That's it , all this time, all this time I've been talking to myself. Anyway, yeah, do test streams so you don't have this. Yeah, so you don't have this. Yeah, maybe it won't be as prepared as you say, not as secret, not as hiding what new model you have. But everything will be clean and cool for you. everything will be clean and cool for you. Or try to hide your voice, for example. Okay, no big deal. Then you'll create a new body for yourself and re-debut in a new form. I think I 'll only be answering questions from the wardrobe for the rest of today's broadcast. Apparently, I can't remember what my best stream was . I had a ton. I had a ton of funny streams, interesting ones, which I came up with like training and beatboxing. In fact, uh, being a YouTuber is still very limited in terms of content on streams, for example, or blogs, because you can't stream there how you hang out with friends, for example. Uh, I don't know, Some jazz music can't be streamed. You have to buy, streamed. You have to buy, for example, all sorts of very expensive trackers for VR chats . There you go. Well, you can get creative. If you have a wild imagination like mine, you'll come up with a stream on holding your breath, a stream on learning beatboxing. And you won't be teaching, you'll be learning by watching a YouTube video. A YouTube video. A stream on marinating shashlik. A cooking stream is, by the way, one of those things we, YouTubers, can indulge in, show off our skills, so to speak. You can come up with all sorts of creative things there. And solving puzzles, too. With your hands. In general, I had a lot of ideas for such streams , and unfortunately, I didn't capture them all . I need to save them, but I forget . I need to save them, but I forget about it. What's the main advantage of being a YouTuber? Probably leading a double life. No, I admit honestly, I really like that I feel like Hannah Montana. I have two lives, and if I want, people will recognize me. If I don't , I'll just be a no-name passerby . And I enjoy it, because, you know, it's not very pleasant when you go out on the street, just to get somewhere, and they're like, "Hey, can I take a picture with you?" And like, well, the person, your fan, they're delighted with you, and you But they're like, "Damn, I might never see you again." see you again." But you look terrible in this photo. Like Vramir, what do you think about the organization of the booth? Complete [ __ ]. I organized it, booth? Complete [ __ ]. I organized it, so I know. Igramir. I'm talking about Igramir, of course, I organized Igramir. No, actually, I've been to previous Igramirs, and there were more halls, there was more space. So, yesterday, I was at the booth and walking around Igramir, I'll say this, it was very There are a lot of people. I don't like the crowd. Well, naturally, there is a problem with the content, but I understand what it is connected with. So there is no escape, but at least So there is no escape, but at least some kind of outlet. What did you want to convey to our viewers? Go [ __ ] yourself and donate viewers? Go [ __ ] yourself and donate and worship me. I've just finished [ __ ] reading, I've already filled up more than half the chat. Half the chat is spam. Okay. Let me remind you that I'm currently on IgroMir. There you go. And I'm answering questions, most of the There you go. And I'm answering questions, most of the time was taken up by questions from one closet. Hmm. Have a terrible evening, everyone. Oh, damn, me... I have two cutters. They are Uber and Freezy. This is personally for my channel. But you can cut it for your channel. I can even monetize it. I don't care yet. Until I become a star. That's it. Maybe you can cut me up and post it, but most likely , most YouTubers would n't mind either. Well, actually, when you're kind of surprised that a person, by the way, I just wanted to discuss this. People who go into YouTube, uh, and they have complexes. The problem is that people who go into YouTube because of complexes, they don't just have complexes about their appearance, they're generally shy and have problems with that in general. But the media sphere is still where you're always going to get hate. No matter how nice you are, you can't please anyone. More precisely, you can't please everyone. That's one thing. Secondly, can't please everyone. That's one thing. Secondly, there are trolls who even deliberately invent, start making up rumors about you and then condemn you for it, cancel you for some rumors that they themselves made up. It will always be like that. And you need to have a lot of patience, have a lot of patience, and character, and be confident in yourself, to resist all of this. If you can't, then, unfortunately, the media sphere is not for you at all. You really need to sort yourself out, because, yes, you might be comfortable in your small circle, with 15 online, old, established viewers who know you, but sooner or later some troll will still appear. You can't always be in some kind of incubator of your own, some kind of incubator of your own, even if you try. question about yesterday. What were your impressions of everyone who was there? Would you like to repeat that experience? I find it amusing when people bow to me, so yes, I would like to. Well, I'll tell you this: it's very difficult to walk in a dinosaur costume, especially because there were a lot of people there. It's very stuffy. And they made me dance, because I love my music. That's it. And I can't breathe. There's only a fan up my butt. And the question is: was this your first time singing behind the camera? Gamer's Day? No, it wasn't me. But it could have been. If there was karaoke, it could have been me, especially to Katyusha Lel, but no, it wasn't me. But it could have been. If it had been, it would have been me. possible for YouTubers in the Russian-speaking segment to have an online presence like Ilshchiki, or does the model heavily filter the audience? What do you mean, no? Next question. Okay, in short, no. YouTubers will never become as popular as become as popular as streamers, most likely. But, you know, there's an upside to that. There's an upside to that. For example, if you're a streamer with 1,000 online views, all the other streamers with the same online viewership don't give a damn about you. They don't know you, you're nobody to them, even to more popular, less popular, and less popular streamers. But when you're a YouTuber and your online viewership is at least, I don't know, fifty, you'll most likely already be fifty, you'll most likely already be known in your own right. circle. And other YouTube fans will probably already know about you, because it's like a small village. That's how it is . That's why everyone collaborates and communicates with each other . Common public pages, for example. Are there no such common public Common public pages, for example. Are there no such common public pages for regular streamers? No. There are some for some Twitch bugs, but not for the average online streamers. Not for the average online streamer and definitely not for small ones. Unless you buy expensive advertising, where they'll just [ __ ] on you in the comments for your money , that's all. And they won't even look at you, they'll just say, "Some other boring one." That's it. Well, by the way, the problem of a small village—oh, more precisely, it's both an advantage of a small village and a disadvantage: if some kind of shit-talk starts , then, naturally, they'll spread to everyone and everyone will already know about it. That's the effect. Well, and some good positive aspects too, for example, that Soda posted a new terror list . Let's all participate, it's fun. That's something like that. Exactly. The question that everyone is interested in. Soda, why are you Soda? Mm, because I like soda. That's it, I don't have an answer to that. I just like soda. That's what I was called in the Discord channel when I started chatting with my friends, and they started calling me Soda. I was like, and they started calling me Soda. I was like, "Well, let it be Soda then." some questions are already repeating themselves. Okay, I'm at the end of the chat, so you can ask the questions I missed again. What do you value most about your job? I like the responsiveness of the audience. I don't think that would ever happen with L-streamers . Honestly, damn, I'll be honest, I have a very active audience. They come up with memes, they communicate with each other , they play games with each other, we have some kind of shared local jokes some kind of shared local jokes . And this would never happen, let's say, if I had 100 online. This would never happen among streamers who have 100 online. I It seems like YouTube viewers are more active and more interested in the character because it's not just the streamer themselves, but also the character, who will have their own fans who might not even watch your stream. They just like your lore. Well, by the way, not all YouTubers have lore, especially in the Russian segment; people aren't used to it; it's unusual for a guy to roleplay someone. Although, essentially, you're watching animation on a stream. Naturally, naturally. You're an unusual person. Maybe there's just a voice actor there, with some kind of script. Well, I'll say this: most likely, no one has a script. No, maybe there is some rather important events, a rough plan of what to do, but no one has a script . And I don't think there are YouTubers in the CIS who are some kind of projects in the sense someone from above gives them orders. How can I say that? You don't mean to offend in a bad way, I get it. But yes, I get what you mean. Why a half-demon, or were you just born that way? I didn't really choose my race. I understand that among YouTubers, being a demon, being a catgirl is a disgrace. And, by the way, a cat is a shark. And sharks are a disgrace, but it just happened that way. I didn't really plan it, but I decided that since that's how it is, it but I decided that since that's how it is, it suits me. Let it be a disgrace. But I was born that way. One more question about IgroMir. Who or what could you remember most about, so about GroMir? What could I remember? Nothing. I didn't see that window again at all . I honestly don't remember who I I honestly don't remember who I communicated with. I don't remember people by their faces. It takes me a very long time to get used to something. I remembered, girl, she was sitting there alone and Moki-mioki, and Kuchan. I remember. No, I liked that I talked to Kuchan. I hardly talked to Kamysh, and we were busy when she was at the festival. There. But I talked, and the young ones were busy too. But I had good conversations with the young ones before . Before that, I hardly ever talked to Kuchan. Here, Smoki, mostly about collabs. And we had a great time. That was a lot of fun with the girls, so I so I like it. YouTubers in Russia can organize their own festival in the future? Well, put it this way, we have Melody. I don’t know, she’s present at the festival, if she’s already present and alive. Melody, happiness, health. A little bit left. There. There. Say hello. She organized the festival from On Medmedia. She’s also the organizer, the creator, what can you call it, On Media, yes. So there was the Nancon festival, it’s been held several times, and There, they devoted quite a lot of time to YouTubers, that is, there were YouTubers everywhere, life-size figures, which, unfortunately, figures, which, unfortunately, we weren't able to get at this festival. I don't know what will happen to them now. Who's going to bury the stash of life-size figures of YouTubers somewhere? Look all over Moscow, apparently, or Moscow, apparently, or around the Timeryazi Center. There you go. And we had song collaborations, which included 40, 50 participants with YouTubers. It was fun, cool, interesting. And at the last one, I even managed to get a solo piece . So, it's quite possible, I think, I just think that this should be done by people who have already, or at least in collaboration with people who have already, run festivals before, because having a lot of money and understanding how to create a good festival, even a small one, is still difficult and requires experienced people. There you go. YouTube viewers are more active online, according to some Reasons online, according to some Reasons related to the specifics of the content. It's as if the streamer's viewers are completely different. Think about it. I certainly wouldn't want to condemn female streaming. That's not the problem. Rather, the problem is that viewers choose it. Accordingly, why are the most popular female streamers mostly just AFK streamers, or those who make some kind of semi-sexual content? Because viewers choose that. It's clear who chooses semi-sexual content, but AFK streamers who sit and watch videos with their viewers are chosen by lonely people who company of some girl . So. Among popular streamers, there are very few who actually make interesting content, unusual in gaming. Even if it's not unusual, even if it's gaming, it's still not enough, because not many people watch it. Would you prefer to have 2K online or a small, comfortable community? Which is preferable to you, 2K online? The more, So much the better. But I've already thought about the chat issue, because I do n't want my chat to look like a dump, so I'd rather either make the chat slow or limit the audience that can write in the chat, so I still want to have contact with the viewers, because I'll say something, they'll answer me, and so I can just record videos. Why do I need you? need you? Luka, Luka, it's a hot night. Something there Luka, Luka, it's a hot night. Something there ny-ny-nya to overcome. Okay, already out of time. There are too many of you. . I don't see anyone writing in the chat. Maybe they've already fallen asleep. And maybe I'm the only one left at the booth and everyone ran away. goat. You're a goat while you're a goat." She did a somersault. And I don't remember. And I joked out loud about what he said when all the problems were going on, he said: "I'll pass out." I said that he had a scythe, a defensive reaction. To pretend that they were having an attack. the streamer has a boyfriend, some will leave? I think that even I, who don't give in, I try, at least, not to give you the slightest chance to fantasize with me, all the same, most likely, if I get a boyfriend, I'll say that I will have a boyfriend. All the same, most likely , even so, some will leave. Even those who that my content is mainly built around humor, I still think that's what around humor, I still think that's what will happen. I would garbage dump. Wait a minute, something's not right yet. But you know, you a dump where I can find junk that I can more or less build something interesting from. The answer, for example, is to laugh at you, and not a complete spam chat. Here. Oh, damn, the chat is fast. I don't have time to answer questions. because I didn't give you such an opportunity. I forbid you to think about yourself. That's it. By the way, I'm not bothering anyone. I understand that today we have big I understand that today we have big problems with the stream at the stand, so two interviews have been cancelled. interviews have been cancelled. Only mine remains. I'll to make [ __ ] sites. And who will film it? Yes or yes, they will do it. How much will you make a website for? Let's not make a website, but a wheel. Alright. happen today or are there some problems? Seno, I love you. So there will be a wheel after all. When is the collab with Keka? Yes, I I wouldn't mind a collab with Keka. When, I don't know, no, she turned out to be really cute. She's such a as you might have noticed on the stream yesterday, but it wasn't a fighting game. We just but it wasn't a fighting game. We just hugged each other and lifted each other up. By the way, sometimes, you know, they often say that YouTubers lower their voices to make them higher. That's it. Well, of course, they don't mean they because if they lower them like that, it would be impossible to talk all day long, especially on a stream. Well, of course, some YouTubers change their voices, and that's okay, because for me, it's like a voice actress. I don't care who's behind the screen. For some reason, you know what's the screen. For some reason, you know what's strange to me? And when there's some anime, for example, there's Asuka, and you're Asuka fans, Asuka, I don't know, there's free, you're like, "Mm, cute girl." But her voice actress is completely different. And you find her and are like: "Ugh, I'm disappointed with Vaska." Because the voice actress is married and, it turns out, she's over 40 years old. I don't understand this. For me, YouTubers are still the same characters. Naturally, for example, on streams I can communicate with the character voiced by the streamer who voiced by the streamer who is behind this YouTuber. to communicate with the person who actually voices this YouTuber. thinks so, especially Asuka fans. She's a minor. I condemn. or are you deceiving me so I can tell you all sorts of weird stories? The probably, yes, because after all, the script is written entirely above. the script is written entirely above. But in fact, many here too, yes, even in fact, not only YouTubers, but also regular streamers adhere to, can adhere to a certain image on stream, and in reality they're not such stream, and in reality they're not such clowns as you think. Okay, that's it, I won't disturb you. Have a terrible time at Igromir, everyone. terrible time at Igromir, everyone. If you're still here if you take a photo with a cosplayer, you'll take, oh yeah, I've lost my stickers for now. You lost them for now. For now, they're tracking those who take photos with cosplayers. Melody takes the Tarot. Damn, I never did Melody's Tarot. I wanted to so much. I need to do it. And Melody's Tarot. Then Melody's badge. You can, Melody's badge. You can, by the way, do the quest to create a badge with me at Melody's. My love, of course. I forbid everything else. subscribe to Cefolon's Telegram channel, subscribe/dissubscribe, , ask the cosplayer. Anyway, I can't say that on Twitch. I have can't say that on Twitch. I have restrictions too. Anyway, I Let 's say I love your favorite YouTuber, for example, or not for example, but specifically Severina Soda. Say loudly: "I love Severina Soda." Get a sticker for it, supposedly. Where is it really? I don't know. It will be tracking for now. What else was there? Show off what merch you have with Show off what merch you have with YouTubers. complete? Oh, ask a question, for example, on a YouTuber's stream, or get an autograph from a YouTuber complete 10 tasks, and you will participate tonight. Oh, exactly participate tonight. Oh, exactly in about 40 minutes. viewers YouTubers have. I'm warning new YouTubers. That's the kind of viewers you can get, not the kind you like. And if you've started with being cute, build, build to the end and put up with all this insolence. And also, and Today we also have our crown, aka the crown today, still in cosplay today, asking you interesting questions. You'll be answering them, who's on the Game now, naturally, whoever raises their hand first will get, well, whoever answers the most questions about knowing YouTubers. By the way, this isn't just about Russian YouTubers. So let's take that into account, get ready, you have time, but I won't tell you what the questions are. whoever answers the most questions, who knows the most about YouTubers, firstly, doesn't have a personal life, and secondly, will get a free T-shirt, right? Or maybe it wasn't a T-shirt? Oh, no, it wasn't a T-shirt, it was merch with foreign YouTubers. If it wasn't lost, then again, it was n't lost. You didn't lose it there, huh, posters with poop with a crown on their feet and a stand and all sorts of with poop with a crown on their feet and a stand and all sorts of keychains and stuff like that. Yeah, they were in the file. If you Lost, I'll kill you. I wish you an unpleasant time at IgroMir. Live the only day a year when you leave the house. Everything when you leave the house.

The presenter isn't working, she's standing there, chatting. Chat, chat, very strong. The chat really wants it. It's not worthy of the city at all yet. Soda, soda, I'm sorry, I'm interrupting the chat too much. Do you want me to show you a heart? Go ahead. It The chat refuses to accept it, so we don't give a damn about their opinion. yeah, keep it.
