What got you into VTubing? (lemmy.ca)

Before VTubing, I just streamed art and stuff with/without webcam! And then right at the VTuber boom of 2020, a couple of my friends told me I should try to be a VTuber since I already had experience doing stuff in Live2D. So I just made a joke character, and then I eventually just... kinda kept doing it, since I really like not having to deal with lighting/camera stuff and also trying to look at least semi-decent on camera!! It was also super nice since I involved myself into a couple different VTuber-specific communities, and made a lot of streamer friends that way.

What/how did y'all get into VTubing? :>

My and my friend had been streaming for about 5 years beforehand. We'd done the mythical character approach almost the entire time (A demon and a paladin streaming video games).

I'd appeared a few times on camera "as myself", but we switched to vTubing as an immersion boost to the idea of the characters we were playing; and because we normally didn't appear on camera, having a model let our viewers see our expressions better.
