Im a newb streamer, don't want to be a cleavage streamer
http://www.twitch.tv/shootingpandas
[b]24+ hour stream on 9/15 starting at 5am eastern![/b]
So I'm a newb streamer. I plan on getting a playstation camera in the future to stream more, but I need pointers.
I am a girl and everyone says that I need to show cleavage to get a lot of views. I really don't want that. Granted I will freshen up though and wear makeup and dress appropriately but Can you give me pointers and advice? I have some past broadcasts and would love if anyone with some free time could check them out. Lately I have some cod ones so please excuse those.
I understand having a schedule helps, but I don't plan on making one until I get a camera.
Thank you so much ahead of time!!!!!

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED:
Nightbot
Be yourself, dress as you would normally.
Don't be monotone, speak well and address audience.
If camera shy, place picture beneath camera to help.
Help viewers every once in a while.
Don't straight up ask for donations.
Check other high up streams for examples.
Try to be humorous and entertaining.
Don't be berating and trolly against chat trolls.
Expect nasty chat messages as a female, ignore it.
Try to save $ to invest in better streaming equipment.
Have party chat with everyone's voice to be heard.
Create a schedule, shows commitment.
Try streaming when main popular streamers are not.
Do not rage over own stupidity and blame other players
Do not need camera, but if do make sure background appropriate and lighting is good.
Have a good microphone.
There are some more that are very specific but I promise that I have made note of them. If I seem to be missing more info please let me know so I can add them to this post and use this thread as my "cheat sheet".
Edit: Lots of sound advice from everyone. Thank you so much! I still welcome more! YwY
Edit 2: wow! So much to read! I may not Che able to comment them all but I am listening to all you have to offer! Thank you so much for trying to help a future streamer! :)
Edit 3: I've decided to do the whole cam thing. I will be getting one this weekend and trying it out for a stream. :)

I'm a cleavage streamer. It's how you get all the money

2 RepliesWatch shes my nerd and wish you luck. And do the exact opposite of how they treat their viewers and people they are playing with

Just be very skilled or have an entertaining personality. I mean: be yourself, be funny, be cool, or be inspiring.

The only girl streamer I watch is annialis. She actually has gunskill and isn't plagued by thirsty 12 year olds. To actually be a successful girl streamer.. you actually have to be good or you have to flaunt yourself and be an attention seeker. Personally, I avoid the latter. It's not enjoyable to watch a girl be loud and show-off a little just to make a bunch of 12 year olds happy. I promise if you follow a path of being a more serious... but chill gamer... you'll find more success in the long run.

Edited by OuO_Whats_This: 9/16/2015 12:16:56 AMEngage with your audience, if you're just playing a game you won't get much, but if you're interacting with chat and playing with viewers you'll have more fun and maybe even get more views. I watched a bit of your stream and really enjoyed it, you can expect to see me in the streams and would love to join us sometime
-
Anyone who says you "need" to do anything, is a retard. Just play the game and stream. If people like your personality and the way you play, they'll keep watching. Sadly, that's not how the world works, but perhaps you can turn it around. Good luck

2 RepliesBing, feel free to check her stream out, she's currently offline but I watched for a few hours and I believe she'll become really popular and I desire assisting
-
Stream like kaceytron shes an honourable woman LOL
-
You don't need tips. You're female, you'll have viewers. Sad but true. All you gotta do is put your stream up, cleavage or not you'll have viewers. Although if no cleavage you'll have many trying to see it haha.
-
3 RepliesAre you the one that made a post asking if you should attempt a 48 stream when TTK comes out? If so, I'm disappointed it's been lowered to 24 hours. Thought you were special 😔😔😔
-
Just have fun doing it, some seem to try and make it too much like a job, just stay relaxed and enjoy everything and everyone around you.

Edited by WatchBloodRain: 9/15/2015 6:52:16 AMAlright I'll watch good luck i have also followed and shall be watching whilst i play destiny also

Coming from your average streamer watcher, there are a few things at least I look for. Most of all, just have fun with it. Don't take on a fake persona. Dress nice. Not sloppy. But dress comfortably. Keep in touch with your viewers too. Talk to em.
-
I will watch if you S.Y.T!
-
You could stream booty cleavage. That'd be different. . .. ... I kid, I kid. :) But yeah, just be yourself, and have fun. Develop a persona, if you will :)
-
Hey! So, for the party chat thing it's simple. I had to google it myself to find out how to do it, so I guess I'd help you out. All you have to do is make sure your fireteam is in game chat. (Yeah . . . not exactly "Party chat") Anyway, make sure everybody is in game chat and for audio make their voices "blended" meaning it will come out of the tv and your mic. This will make it so that the people watching your stream can hear everybody in your fireteam.
-
Show that you're genuinely enjoying playing the game you stream Interact with viewers chat
-
Be good. Nobody wants to watch someone die over and over again. Even if there is cleavage involved. Also, be entertaining. That's it, really. I could go into more detail, but I don't even have time to explain why I don't have time to explain.
-
Just like do you like you would if no one was watching, the most genuine laughs I've ever had was from saying or blurting dumb shit out whilst playing with friends. I don't stream but I think an audience would resonate with that, laugh along, and have a good time.

4 RepliesTo have views just be funny you don't need to show yourself and ur bewbs. Of course i like to show my mustache and it gets dem extra viewers B)
-
Kick ass
-
You could always choose to actually ignore them, so their messages don't even show up in chat. Or maybe threaten with a TO or ban if it gets to a certain point. Good luck, you seem like a decent streamer.
-
Don't even need a facecam. Don't understand why people use them at all

Cleveland steamer
