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. :)

Edited by Ankh: 8/28/2015 7:17:55 AMSGA: Just be yourself, true to yourself, respect yourself as you would respect others. Ignore haters and don't give them any attention. Listen to CONSTRUCTIVE negative and positive feedback. Good Luck ;) P.S. Don't feel like you have to show meat to get attention, your a respectable human being not a cow looking to get eyed up and butchered. Besides people saying show cleveage are probably potential perverted candidates. Your here to entertain us with games not porn

I'll check you out, but I'm pretty harsh when it comes to rating streamers (since most of them are the exact same personality playing the exact same game) so you'll have to have something unique if you want me to stay. Given the girl streamers I've observed in the past...I'm just hoping you'll break the feminazi cam-whore trend. I hope streaming works out for you in the long run!

Don't ignore hateful comments. Keep you chat nice and clean. A good chat helps to grow your channel. Check out Gothalion as a example. Also if you get him to watch your stream he might raid your channel if he thinks your channel is good.
-
Randomly bounce up and down for no reason. This helps you look more active and friendly.

Edited by Kohaku Koi: 8/28/2015 3:02:00 AMI'd recommend rewriting your Bio. Nobody needs you to announce that "I'm a girl gamer". [spoiler]seriously, a little cleavage wouldn't hurt.... You are absolutely gorgeous. 9/10 would watch stream[/spoiler]

A. Would anyone want to watch you play video games? B. Why would they watch you over someone else? C. Are you really going to care? D. I'm just a random guy on the webs E. People watching other people play video games... I never understood this except i would watch my close friend, but thats because he's my homie and we owned people together in the face. Some random stranger? No. E.2. Watching someone who has beaten something thats pre recorded to demonstrate it because i have an issue completing said objective. Yes.

1 ReplyAsk yourself this: Do you play to win or do you play to have fun? Act accordingly.

The only thing that matters is that you have more followers than me, which obviously means your doing something right. [spoiler]It's not hard to be better than me to be fair[/spoiler]

Just a tip: You'll get less hate if you don't make "Being a girl" part of your shtick. Your twitch bio doesn't need to start with "I'm a girl gamer" Nobody likes obvious shticks anyways, and using your gender is lame. Show us what you can provide as a streamer. Every streamer needs to ask themselves "Why would somebody watch my stream?" If you decide that your shtick is being a girl, then cleavage it up. But if you want respect as a streamer because of your streaming skills, then don't bring attention to the fact that you're a girl. Everybody can see that you're a girl already, so broadcast your sense of humor or gaming skills!

2 RepliesBtw you look like a mom. Just saying.

3 RepliesDon't JUST stream Destiny. It'll get stale for your viewers, so play some other games as well. GTA 5 is a good choice
-
3 RepliesJust watched a bit of your strim, I'd invest in a better mic or equipment to improve sound or that incorporates music into your stream.
