[0:00] so you want to become a vtuber in 2025
[0:02] or you're finally in the right place
[0:03] whether you want to stream make videos
[0:05] or just have a personal online Persona
[0:08] today I'm going to be breaking down
[0:09] everything you need to know so let's get
[0:11] started all right step one for basically
[0:13] becoming a vtuber is choosing your
[0:15] vtuber identity first things first what
[0:17] you want to do with your vtuber person
[0:19] on is you can be anything you can be a
[0:21] futuristic cyborg you could be literally
[0:24] a talking mailbox and I'm not kidding
[0:27] I've seen it it is a real thing you
[0:28] could just be a cute anime Idol you
[0:30] could be anything you want before
[0:32] jumping into figuring out what model you
[0:34] want to be you got to ask yourself
[0:36] what's my vibe what's my personality and
[0:39] that'll shape your entire brand I know
[0:41] many people are very unsure of how they
[0:44] go about choosing their vtuber identity
[0:45] and there are several different places
[0:47] where you can get these identities from
[0:49] whether you go to VJ is an amazing
[0:51] website where people will commission
[0:54] them to do these types of arts for you
[0:56] and be able to get these different V2
[0:58] models or whe whether you want to be 2D
[1:00] 3D a PNG so many different options you
[1:04] can go to Etsy to find several uh and
[1:06] there are even free ones in several of
[1:08] the apps already ready for you to use
[1:10] that you can go about as well so really
[1:12] you just got to figure it out and fill
[1:14] it out and and what your overall Vibe
[1:16] you're going for is as for me as you can
[1:18] see I am a cross between Beast Gohan and
[1:21] gear five Luffy that's really my Persona
[1:23] I went with here that's the brand I was
[1:25] building at the time so you really just
[1:27] have to figure out what you are who you
[1:28] want to be and what fits you personally
[1:31] all right step two the main thing you're
[1:33] going to want to do is choose your
[1:34] correct software and tools so pretty
[1:37] much in 2025 there are a ton of
[1:39] different options for vtu software
[1:40] here's a quick breakdown of it so you
[1:42] have your free beginner friendly options
[1:44] with your vtube studio available on
[1:46] Steam you have animes video tube mini
[1:49] all right then you have your Advanced
[1:51] customizable options which are vroid
[1:52] studio for 3D models live 2D cubism for
[1:56] 2D models then you have your high-end or
[1:58] Pro level which are under engine and
[2:00] then Unity with VR tracking those ones
[2:03] are a little bit more advanced a lot of
[2:04] those actually really help you like
[2:07] bring your whole entire vtube model
[2:08] Alive by moving your hands and they can
[2:11] actually see what you're doing versus
[2:13] pretty much with me I use vtube Studio
[2:16] because it just it captures me it
[2:17] captures my eye blinking me talking I
[2:20] have different options to toggle as you
[2:22] can see here I can toggle off the clouds
[2:23] toggle off that I have a whole entire
[2:26] happy face where I close my eyes here I
[2:28] even have like a I'm a grumpy man face
[2:30] here so different options available for
[2:32] you depending on which one you end up
[2:35] going with there there are so many
[2:37] different options when it comes to
[2:39] actually figuring out which one's going
[2:41] to fit your brand the best and which
[2:43] one's going to fit the model you choose
[2:45] so you really have to pretty much what
[2:47] what work best for your skill level if
[2:49] it's on your budget and there are plenty
[2:51] of free resources to help you start
[2:53] without spending a single dime so just
[2:55] keep that in mind all right step three
[2:56] your model creation so pretty much this
[2:58] is where the magic happened you can
[3:00] create your own model using vroid Studio
[3:02] for 3D or live 2D cubism for 2D it
[3:06] sounds like too much work you can always
[3:08] commission an artist to bring your dream
[3:09] of character to life just make sure they
[3:11] include all the Expressions animations
[3:13] you need so for me I did make the
[3:16] mistake when I firstly got this model
[3:18] that I didn't tell them what all
[3:19] emotions I wanted I wish I had a scared
[3:21] face I wish I had a sad face but t as of
[3:24] currently all I have is the happy face
[3:27] and the grumpy face okay so so
[3:30] definitely some other options would be
[3:32] best when it comes to actually getting
[3:34] out your model creation but figuring out
[3:37] what all you want in this model is key I
[3:40] wish I'd gotten a separate outfit as
[3:41] well so I wouldn't be stuck inside the
[3:43] ghee at all time for the most part there
[3:46] there're just different options and you
[3:47] need to make sure you get it right the
[3:48] first time if you go about commissioning
[3:50] it because you got to remember when you
[3:52] actually fully commission a true vtube
[3:54] Model A a really good one one who know
[3:56] people know what they're looking at know
[3:58] what they're looking for you're going to
[4:00] be spending upwards of a grand on these
[4:03] models and you have to keep that in mind
[4:05] if you go the full customizable route so
[4:07] you have to be careful because it's a
[4:09] lot of money at the end of the day so
[4:11] just figure out what you want sit down
[4:13] sit down with your artists whether it's
[4:14] on the Discord chat or Discord voice and
[4:18] bring your creation to life bring what
[4:20] you have inside your head exactly how
[4:22] you want it to be and they'll make it
[4:24] happen most artists are more than happy
[4:25] to work with you on anything you've got
[4:27] going step four is going to be your tech
[4:29] support and your tracking so for the
[4:31] most part you to bring your model life
[4:33] you need a tracking software some of the
[4:35] best in 2025 of course for facial
[4:38] tracking is vtube Studio or I facial
[4:41] mocap the full body tracking is VC face
[4:44] Roco and VR chat with trackers hand
[4:47] tracking is Leap Motion or AI powered
[4:49] webcam tracking now pretty much you can
[4:51] even use your phone as that but it is
[4:54] through vtube studio for the camera um
[4:56] if you have a low-end PC I highly advise
[4:59] using your phone is the camera um you
[5:01] don't need a high-end webcam currently
[5:03] at the moment with my PC I'm using an
[5:06] aie webcam that's like a $25 webcam off
[5:09] of Amazon to bring all of what I'm doing
[5:12] live but for the best smooth tracking
[5:15] you can get especially when you're
[5:16] playing a game or something using
[5:19] something such as uh your phone to be
[5:22] the tracker instead of your computer it
[5:24] will help keep your computer at not
[5:27] running as high with vtube Studio be
[5:29] able to run Run games smoother and
[5:30] you're still able to get your vtuber
[5:32] alive in the games that you're playing
[5:34] so just some options on that and I mean
[5:37] for the most part you could literally
[5:39] use the webcam from a laptop to do the
[5:41] vtube stuff but you have to be careful
[5:43] with what games you pick because like I
[5:45] said vtube does take up a lot of
[5:47] processing power so you have to be very
[5:50] careful with the games I'm not getting
[5:51] low FPS so really keep those types of
[5:54] types of things in mind when you are
[5:56] figuring out the best tech setup and
[5:58] tracking that you want to go with so
[6:00] step five setting up your streaming and
[6:02] recording software so me personally I
[6:04] love OBS you have the options of
[6:06] streamlabs or YouTube dashboard if
[6:08] you're streaming you'll need to be
[6:10] broadcasting software like OBS or
[6:12] streamlabs to set up your overlays
[6:13] alerts chat features to create an
[6:16] engaging experience recording make sure
[6:18] your vtuber software integrates well
[6:20] with your editing software like Prem
[6:23] Premier Pro or dentry resolve just make
[6:24] sure everything runs well you have the
[6:26] option to obviously if you're not going
[6:28] to be streaming but so recording you
[6:31] have the option to of being able to
[6:34] bring everything to life in the sense of
[6:37] you can make this screen into if I'm not
[6:39] mistaken it is 3280 by 3240 by 1080 and
[6:44] you'll get basically two screens one can
[6:46] be a green screen with your vtube on one
[6:48] side and one can be a the gaming screen
[6:51] on one side and you'll just have to
[6:53] Overlay those two in order to bring your
[6:55] vtube where you want him on the screen
[6:58] during the video if you're solely just
[6:59] recording now there is one thing you do
[7:01] need to realize is when you are using
[7:04] things like OBS and such you will need
[7:07] to have a green screen imported into
[7:10] your files of your vtube model and I
[7:14] I'll show you how to do that as well but
[7:15] you'll need to get that imported that
[7:17] way when you do bring your vtuber model
[7:19] to life you can easily use a filter
[7:22] called chroma key on V2 on on OBS that
[7:27] does actually select the color green
[7:29] long as your vtu model doesn't have
[7:31] green on it you will be able to get rid
[7:32] of the background you have going and
[7:34] easily be able to bring your model to
[7:37] life without as you can see you don't
[7:38] see the green screen that is around me
[7:40] currently if I go into vtube studio so
[7:44] just something big there the way to
[7:46] import things into your vtu studio is to
[7:49] go to your local cisk go to your program
[7:52] files
[7:54] x86 once you are there you'll go to
[7:56] steam from there you will then go to
[7:59] steam apps you will go to Common once
[8:02] you're in common you'll go down to vtube
[8:04] Studio okay once you're in vtube studio
[8:07] you will go to V tube Studio data and
[8:11] from there you will put you will go to
[8:13] your streaming assets once you're on
[8:15] streaming assets you can then this is
[8:17] where you'll import your backgrounds as
[8:19] well as your other live 2D models So
[8:21] backgrounds you'll obviously see the
[8:23] backgrounds I have I have green screen
[8:24] and a few other random backgrounds back
[8:26] there but I also have live 2D models
[8:28] where you can col any V2 models you may
[8:32] have or want to use that's where you'll
[8:34] import that file and that's how it'll be
[8:36] integrated into vtu Studios I highly
[8:39] advise starting out this is what you use
[8:41] as vtube Studio as your main thing until
[8:44] you get better or have more time to look
[8:47] into other options that are much more
[8:49] expensive or better for tracking but
[8:52] these are the overall to me vtube studio
[8:55] has everything you need to be a good
[8:57] vtuber in 2025 all right step six is
[9:01] going to be building your brand and
[9:03] growing your audience so overall it's a
[9:05] social media platform your YouTube
[9:07] analytics everything you need you can
[9:09] have the best V vtube model in the world
[9:12] you spent three grand on a vtube model
[9:14] and it does everything you could need it
[9:16] to do but no one knows about you so it
[9:19] won't even matter so here's some tips on
[9:21] how to grow it's pretty much post on
[9:23] multiple platforms posts on YouTube
[9:25] posts on Twitch posts on Tik Tok and
[9:27] Twitter all these things are really
[9:30] solid ones you even have Instagram
[9:32] Facebook as well and any other social
[9:34] medias I'm not currently listing I
[9:36] highly advise using the thing is to be
[9:39] consistent being consistent means
[9:40] regular uploads and streams build an
[9:43] audience so pretty much make yourself a
[9:45] schedule for your uploads make yourself
[9:47] a schedule for your streams these are
[9:49] the ways that you will grow on separate
[9:51] platforms for me P personally I post
[9:53] every day on Tik Tok and Twitter and on
[9:57] Instagram and Facebook around noon every
[10:00] single day and then on YouTube I post
[10:02] every Monday Wednesday and Friday shorts
[10:06] every single night I post long forms on
[10:08] those particular days and then on Twitch
[10:10] I do not have a consistent schedule
[10:12] which is why my twitch doesn't do as
[10:14] well as my other platforms so just
[10:16] something to be advised there is be
[10:17] consistent your audience wants
[10:19] consistency they want to know when
[10:20] you're going to be live and not have to
[10:22] guess that all right the other thing is
[10:23] network with other vtubers there are
[10:25] several different options out there you
[10:27] could network via Reddit you could
[10:29] network via Twitter I highly advise
[10:32] those two when it comes to networking
[10:34] Twitter is really great because you post
[10:35] a little photo that basically shows
[10:38] exactly what you're wanting to collab
[10:40] and stuff I'll post an example up for
[10:42] you to see and it pretty much says who
[10:44] you are that you want to collab what
[10:46] games you'll collab what games you want
[10:48] to play in the future there's groups
[10:49] inside of Twitter for you to post in
[10:51] there are many ways to grow last thing
[10:53] here is to make sure you engage your
[10:54] audience comment reply be active in your
[10:57] community but I do comment on almost
[10:59] every single video I post on YouTube if
[11:01] somebody comments I'll comment back as
[11:03] well as I make sure I reply if I'm on
[11:05] Twitch and somebody says something I
[11:06] make sure I quickly reply don't be a
[11:08] stump on the log make sure you reply
[11:10] make sure you're active in your
[11:11] community if you post something on
[11:13] Twitter and somebody comment something
[11:15] comment back reply back it builds that
[11:18] you're a real person type of vibe
[11:19] instead of just a digital face on the
[11:21] screen looking to get big looking to get
[11:24] famous so overall those are my best tips
[11:26] I can give you for how to become a
[11:28] vtuber in 2025 I think you're going to
[11:30] do fantastic you follow these guidelines
[11:32] you follow this and you just create your
[11:34] persona create who you want to be it's
