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. :)

Streams a lot more interesting when the streamer themself has things to say and lets their thoughts be known. Be interactive and actively talk with your comment section whenever possible. This, of course, requires you to have good nerves thanks to trolls and flamers, so always ignore trolly comments. And lastly: [b]You do [i]not[/i] need a facecam.[/b] WHile seeing a streamer's face is all fine and dandy, how useful a facecam really is depends on how expressive the streamer is, and what is their personality. Are you easily impressed by things that happen in-game? Do you often show your emotions with various expressions and motions? Then by all means, get a facecam if you want! Do you often keep a more monotone expression when things happen? Do you show little-to-no emotion with expression, and rather let your thoughts be known through words? Then a facecam, while an alright addition, is not necessarily needed. I'll follow you on Twitch so I can come by and check out what your stream's like sometime. Good luck with your road to streamer fame.
