20 СОВЕТОВ СТРИМЕРАМ которые я хотел бы услышать пораньше

[00:02] and although I'm unlikely to impress you with bare numbers, I have plenty of experience in this field. I've seen a lot, lived through different eras of streaming. I can do a lot and I'm not just a professional in my field. I'm a happy

[00:14] Streamer. And this is my advice for you. The first thing you should understand if you want control is that in addition to the streams themselves, you should master creating content in other formats and on other platforms. At

[00:29] a minimum, these are some Kato cuts, Shorts. Or better yet, a full-fledged video format in which you can more effectively show your strengths. You can expect that people will be interested in you based on your five-hour streams. You can do it on DoTest, but then, if anything happens,

[00:42] you know who to blame. But I'm a Streamer, not a YouTuber. Many will think so. But you can keep all these objections to yourself. The reality is that it's almost impossible to develop and create your own brand with streams alone. Unless, of

[00:55] streams alone. Unless, of course, you're someone's buddy or a raspberry, should do everything for them. Streaming platform, throw them in the rivers and all that. But

[01:07] you understand, let's move on. The second piece of advice is to optimize your preparation for the stream. At the initial stage, everything will be new to you. And it will seem to you that turning on all the light sources, setting up a chroma key, running

[01:21] a million different programs, putting on makeup, doing cosplay, writing posts for all social networks with special pictures - all this, in general, won't take long. But soon you will understand that each element of this routine for preparing for a live broadcast feels

[01:35] harder and harder over time, and at some point you will simply decide not to stream, realizing this entire front of work: holding your first stream and holding your 100th first stream are not the same thing. So, think about how to simplify

[01:49] repetitive actions. Perhaps you should abandon some elements of preparation for the stream or delegate them to other people. Personally, at some point, I gave up announcing posts on social networks with special pictures and

[02:01] some texts. And this is a real weight off my shoulders, and I didn't notice any significant decline in the end. It's just that streams that go on for many hours, people come and go, and it's not so important to trumpet every time that you've

[02:16] started a live broadcast again, to announce something special. Okay, but [music] work. The third piece of advice is never to create obstacles for viewers in the form of all sorts of follow

[02:29] modes and other nonsense. This is when you can write in the chat only after you subscribe to the channel. Subscribing in any case will not force a person to watch you for hours regularly. This means that it is in your best interests to really

[02:42] interest a person in getting to know him, and all these follow modes only interfere. People will simply leave after seeing that they can write to you only after subscribing. Let's can write to you only after subscribing. Let's

[02:58] so that people think again if they suddenly don't agree with what I say. But if you are suddenly attacked by spammers, then you should use Lomo. Of course you come up with a good enough excuse, the reality around you changes

[03:13] excuse, the reality around you changes specifically for you, and sometimes even the laws of physics. The next piece of advice is not particularly Don't worry about the stream schedule. In the end, it's not the number and regularity of streams that decides, but their content, that is,

[03:27] if the schedule and predictable schedule suit you personally and you work more efficiently, then good luck. But if your rhythm of life allows you to bring the stream sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the evening, then don't worry, no one

[03:40] watches content just because it's regular. They watch content because it's interesting. First of all, of course, there's no such thing as too much good content. The only question is how long you can last with a rigid schedule and whether it will become an

[03:52] unbearable burden at some point and crush you. Be careful, an crush you. Be careful, an online career is a marathon, not a sprint. The fifth tip is that the most important and unique element of your stream is you. So, make

[04:05] sure that you can be clearly heard and seen on the stream. For good and pleasant sound, my course on sound on Boost will be useful to you. And in order for you to be visible, buy a webcam or camera. The viewer should see you and this is very

[04:19] exceptional examples of streamers without a webcam. then, without any problems, enjoy the same extremely small chance to get somewhere. You are a brand and no YouTube model will replace it. Just imagine what will happen

[04:33] if you develop and you are a lump of complexes behind an avatar. Start working on it right now. The sooner you meet your fears face to face, the faster you will kick out those who do not watch this channel and

[04:47] are in their illusions. Well, as for pumping up the image on a webcam with the help of light, there is, of course, a very old video of mine about this, but I still recommend waiting for the new one, which I simply have to make this year. Let's

[05:01] practical tips that you can apply right on your next stream. Tip number six sounds like this: read the subtitles out loud. Of course, we are talking about those games where there is no voice acting in the language in which you stream and also about games where the

[05:15] plot component is a fairly important part of the game. The fact is that many viewers watch streams in the background while doing some of their own things, and when there are pauses every now and then during the broadcast with an incomprehensible language, it is

[05:27] very difficult to understand what is on What's going on in the stream and what you're discussing, and as a result, the viewer quickly loses track of what's happening, and the stream becomes less interesting for him. If the stream assumes that the viewer will spend hours without taking their

[05:40] eyes off the screen and reading all the subtitles and captions themselves, then this is potentially less popular. Stream simply from the zero second. Of course, if you are a connoisseur of original voice acting, then this advice will not suit you. But even for you, it is useful

[05:52] to look at the situation through the eyes of the viewer and understand what you are paying for your frankness and the inability to properly read subtitles. The next practical advice concerns the balance of the volume of various

[06:06] sounds. Very often in games, the sound is balanced. For greater spectacle, so that the sounds of battle or some explosions thunder like in a movie theater, while evoking a sea of ​​​​emotions. But for a stream, such volume surges are often disturbing. From my

[06:19] recommendations, if the game has a narrow dynamic range option, or it is sometimes called night mode, then turn it on without thinking. With this setting, the difference between the quietest sound and the loudest will be smaller, which means it will be

[06:33] easier to create a balanced sound picture on the stream. The second recommendation is to tweak Manual volume sliders if possible, very often the sounds of effects in the game are much louder than the same character voices, so it makes

[06:46] sense to turn down the effects by a couple of notches and leave the character voices as they are, and as a result, on the stream it will be easier to set the volume so that both voices and sound effects are normally audible and all this is not interrupted by your

[06:58] and all this is not interrupted by your own voice,

[07:33] son. Well done. And for example, in a situation when you read the subtitles out loud, as was said in the previous advice, it makes sense to separately turn down the voices of the characters in the original language so that everything does not turn into a mess of two

[07:47] voiceovers on the stream and at the same time the rest of the effects sound normal. The next practical advice is, if possible, avoid long intros before the start of the stream. We are talking now about all these screens, we will start soon, Stream Starting

[08:01] Soon, and so on, especially with a timer. If you are watching this video, then your Stream is hardly some kind of unprecedented show in which you cannot miss a second, so meet the viewers personally if possible and do not force people

[08:14] who came to you are already waiting for 10 minutes until you show up with your Face and minutes until you show up with your Face and start your go to another streamer or turn on some video and most will do the same,

[08:31] believe me. We live in a world of TikTok and Real Sov. Think again. Look at this situation as a viewer, no one cares that you need to make tea, get in the mood, wash your face, and so on. Make it, wash your face without any problems, and only then start the Stream. But

[08:45] don’t forget that if you come up with a sufficiently convincing justification for your actions, then reality will definitely adapt to you and people around you will find it super cool to stare at the monitor for 10 minutes waiting for your

[08:57] for 10 minutes waiting for your magnificent broadcast. streaming like piecework. This generally applies to any creativity. I’m talking about those situations when a person streams just to get a cut for someone else.

[09:31] with just a black screen. What’s wrong with me? The same video was released regularly. They say the algorithm helps blah-blah-blah. Remember how

[09:45] previous one. If your Stream, on the contrary, is not dull, not just for show, and something interesting happened on it, then don’t miss this moment and make content of some other format out of it, tiktok shorts, reals, or a full-fledged video on YouTube on

[09:59] some topic, it doesn’t matter. Let a good moment get lost in the fifth hour of your live broadcast, and then immediately give a mini tip when you so on. Think about how it will be perceived by someone who does

[10:14] n’t know you, who just swiped about you. Let there be enough context to understand what’s happening, swiped about you. Let there be enough context to understand what’s happening, drawn out. Tip number 11: If you saw some feature on someone’s stream or,

[10:29] for example, you came across one of my videos about interesting plugins for OBS, this does not mean that all these features and plugins are specifically needed for you. It’s not a fact that this is really necessary for your content, but Some stream perks

[10:43] may require a significant investment of time and effort, and subsequently you may have the feeling that a lot of work has been done and it should somehow set up bots for your stream and

[10:56] made some transitions. But if it’s still not applicable to the Counter- Strike stream at the second level of Faceit, then you obviously weren’t working on the most important things. Separate. What is simply your wish list and just distracts you. And what will

[11:10] really improve the viewers’ experience on your stream. I personally enjoy my transitions, the quality of the picture and the neatness of the design, but I don’t even have a thought. That someone owes me something for this. I’m talking about a sincere feeling

[11:22] inside myself, accordingly, and I have no disappointments either, and no questions about online donations, etc. Because I am in tune with reality. If I am somewhere submissive, with the design and rewards for channel points, this means nothing. This is the

[11:36] very clothes by which they greet you, but as they say, they see you off with intelligence, and if I do everything I'm not a top streamer yet, so I just have more work to do. The next piece of advice is about chat activity, which can sometimes drop

[11:50] quite significantly. Newbies often feel resentful towards the chat, supposedly because they don't maintain communication and leave streams. They're such scoundrels. Although in reality, topics and producing something interesting is basically your job as a streamer.

[12:06] And if viewers sometimes help you with this, then you should appreciate it and not be offended when they don't. However, falling activity in the chat doesn't always mean that you're doing something wrong. I talked about this in more detail in one of my videos,

[12:20] the tip or link in the description. It's a pretty interesting take on this situation. The next piece of advice is also about communicating with viewers on the stream. Sometimes it may seem that a profitable strategy is to communicate as politely as possible,

[12:34] is to communicate as politely as possible, avoiding any conflicts and controversial topics. In some particular situation, this really will help you avoid unnecessary quarrels and not lose a viewer, but in the long run, you're simply

[12:47] preventing yourself from creating a community, because founding it is literally not Why do you tolerate everyone on the stream? You are well -mannered, all opinions have a place to be, and thus you unconsciously become a sucker for your nature and dependence on the Internet.

[13:02] become an interesting person and a happy streamer, then you are mistaken. You your channel, but at some point you will find yourself in a situation where you do not want to go live and change 100 different masks on the fly for different

[13:18] viewers so that, God forbid, they do not leave. But this, of course, is only my opinion based on what I have observed around me for many years. I am sure that many have also caught this feeling from some streamers when it is clearly evident that there is no

[13:31] core, no opinion of their own, the person wants to please everyone, and this, as they said in the old meme video, is some kind of lean [ __ ], although there is demand for such streamers if, of course, you are satisfied with the audience of the same suckers, the choice is

[13:45] satisfied with the audience of the same suckers, the choice is who are just starting their journey and may have come across this video just to protect themselves from some mistakes and the biggest mistake you can

[13:58] make is delaying the start of your activity in the field of streaming thinking that you don’t have enough equipment, knowledge, experience, and something else. Now I’ll save up for a normal microphone, a webcam, a light on a hard drive, and devices, and then I’ll

[14:13] start streaming. In the meantime, I’ll watch videos, learn, and be educated there. Videos are, of course, wonderful. But you need to start gaining practical experience as soon as possible. Mistakes, screw-ups, and stupid bumps made from personal experience are an

[14:26] inevitable part of the path. You can’t film videos about all the little things. And in general, as Morpheus said, knowing the path and walking it are not the same thing. You may disagree with me on some individual issues. But what is an indisputable

[14:40] basis is this: Do what you can with what you have now. And when you start you have now. And when you start acting, practice. The

[15:02] sometimes review your old broadcasts, not those that took place a week ago, or even less, but streams at least six months ago This is a pretty interesting experience because you most likely no longer remember what exactly

[15:16] was said on those streams and you can look at yourself from the outside as a viewer, you can notice a lot for yourself and correct Well, or, on the contrary, make sure that there is progress, it is obvious and you just need to continue I recently conducted an

[15:28] my old streams from many years ago and there is even a separate video about it If you are suddenly interested, you can take a look it was quite awkward but interesting and informative the next tip is already

[15:42] missing fingers sixteenth Wow will be about the fact that you will not be able to feel it either without practicing streaming for some long time, this is the dynamics of your indicators such as online views and so on The fact is that on

[15:54] any channel there is always an absolutely natural outflow of audience for one reason or another And as you understand The longer you stream, the greater this outflow will be in practice this means that even to stay online and

[16:07] views at the same level, you will have to work, so if you see that your online has been stagnant for several months or even years, then This simply rate as the audience is losing money. And this is not such a bad result. You

[16:22] broken into streaming and are quickly catching up with you. They will have to happens to everyone. It's just that some can endure it, while others cannot. They will come up with an

[16:35] excuse once again and quit. That is why, considering that in terms of indicators, I am not some kind of successful streamer. I am criticized for poor results only by those who have achieved nothing at all. Well, or almost nothing. And those who

[16:47] have been in this movement for at least some significant time, willy-nilly, respect me and understand what I am talking about, even if we may disagree on some individual issues or they do not like me as a person.

[16:59] So always remember that a streamer with 20 viewers who has been streaming for 2 months and a streamer with 20 viewers who have been streaming, say, for 3 years, are, as they say, two say, for 3 years, are, as they say, two very different things. Think

[17:11] about it. The next piece of advice will be about comprehensive development. A key element in your broadcast. - you are a person, a personality, if this personality has meager content, then you can quickly become boring even for those people who initially

[17:25] liked you, so even if you are a gaming streamer or work in a narrow niche, you still just need to try to have as many points of contact with reality as possible. This will literally fundamentally change

[17:37] your thinking, and it doesn’t really matter what exactly you will do. Read, watch something educational, travel, play sports, and if there are no opportunities yet, then do something with what you have

[17:49] now. Don’t think that if a lot of people are now sitting at computers or on phones, then they are doing the same thing. And we are all the same. You can play the game stupidly ha-ha, but you can think well and train your brain to dig

[18:02] deeper, gaining some experience. Even the feeds of these damned Shors and RIL Sovs will be radically different for different people and give a different effect. One will watch cakes and farts, and another will add to his knowledge base, absorb someone else's experience in

[18:16] areas important to him. Yes, you won’t be punished for this right away. Donate on the stream, but remember Donate on the stream, but remember that this is a marathon, not a sprint. Let's move on. Tip number 18 is a kind of psychological trick. Try hiding

[18:29] your online counter. If you notice that its change strongly affects your emotional state at the initial stage, this may well happen, and it really makes sense to remove this irritant to your peace of mind from sight

[18:41] so that you learn to broadcast and produce content without looking back at this counter. Until you have a lot of practical experience, you can literally draw wrong conclusions based on the dynamics of the online number, noticing its

[18:53] decrease. You may think that you said or did something wrong, although in fact, or the person who turned on you before work simply has time to leave, and another person's internet went out or something else. Family matters have begun.

[19:06] Remember that online is a collection of people coming and going for various reasons throughout the stream. This is not an assessment of you as a streamer. There is no numbers to everyone depending on the efforts made. Online is people,

[19:23] not a number, and especially At the beginning of your journey, try to remove the emphasis on the number of viewers, especially if you are an inexperienced and anxious person. Analyzing data is a great idea, but you must have experience and the right tools to

[19:37] interpret it correctly. And if you dig deeper, it will turn out that numbers are far from the most important thing. But I talk about these things in more detail in my other conversational videos. If you want, you can

[19:49] watch tip number 19 on the channel. It sounds amazing. Combine your strengths in different areas to create unique content. Throughout our lives, we have all been interested in different things. What have we done?

[20:03] But we met on this video because we got carried away with this video because we got carried away with streaming, playing games for everyone and doing the same thing. If you have any interesting experience, think about whether it can

[20:16] somehow be integrated into your video broadcasts. A well-hung wedding host plus game streams are already much cooler than just a dude playing the same game but who can't put two words together or some hockey player who

[20:30] streams virtual hockey and compares it to reality. He notes that the experience of playing real hockey is much more interesting than his mom's virtual hockey player with a beer belly on the couch, and that's just These are the most trivial

[20:44] examples with games, but in reality, there are a huge number of different activities and their combinations that can be streamed. You will still need to present it interestingly and be able to show yourself to the world with the help of content, but it seems worth thinking about.

[20:56] You may not be a unique figure in some particular area, but you can be a unique combination of different areas. I just need to figure out how to combine it all and show it. Well, the last piece of advice in this

[21:11] video. If you have achieved at least some result. Perhaps, even with my advice, do not take it for granted. Appreciate it, pay attention to what you were able to achieve. And realize that this might not have happened, or it will soon not be possible. In some places,

[21:26] you were even lucky and intervened in your strength. Be grateful for this and do not rush to compare your result with others. With this approach, there will always be someone cooler, richer, with a larger online, stronger, more views, and so on.

[21:41] This is just a path to nowhere. Remember at the beginning I said that I am a happy Streamer, this is really true. And believe me, your personal happiness is much closer than you think. It will not begin with thousands of viewers. Or a million dollars, ANO, in

[21:55] the ability to be sincerely grateful for what you have, in the ability to hear yourself, and so on. Of course, these are all general phrases, I understand, and they still need to be expanded upon. This is what I do on this channel in other videos besides some

[22:08] videos about OBS and all sorts of technical things, and bloggers with millions of followers. Or your idols with thousands of viewers on streams are very often unhappy, insecure people and hostages of their formats. Consider that this is

[22:22] still better than, for example, mine. It's your right, this is just my advice and my experience. I just recorded a video and watching it does not oblige you to anything. By the way, thank you for watching it to the end, and as always, have a good stream. By the way,

[22:38] I have a bonus general advice for streamers from neocity deeps in my Telegram account, and a spoiler in some points. I disagree with her.
