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. :)

1 ReplyYou sure as hell don't need a cam. The streamer Frenzy has 100K followers and has only 2 pictures of his face on the Internet. Just act like normal, be interactive with chat, and do not ever look at the viewer count. Ie streamed about 10 times. I don't know how many viewers I've got. Don't ever plan to know. Also, hitting up this link will allow you to set up nightbot, which is a robot chat moderator that you have control over.[spoiler]www.nightdev.com[/spoiler] Also, don't give moderator status out to those that don't deserve it. If you're planning to stream destiny, which I would assume you are, I'd suggest trying to get in touch privately with other streamers in the community. It's like a job, because connections get you places on twitch. Try to find a twitch team as well. Those are basically just a clan, except it's straight off the twitch site and for streamers. Joining a team can help you build your own community and spread the positivity of your stream onto the next. And schedules are important as well. Like, really important. After about a month of streaming, you should be able to have a consistent schedule time down. I'm still trying to find my own personally. But it's seriously super fun to stream, and you should always be streaming just to have fun. That's the most important piece right there. If you have fun, there's a pretty good chance so will your viewers. And don't forget to set up your twitch account with a mini-bio, a full bio, a profile picture, etc. Now, shameless self plug [spoiler]I usually stream Smite or Binding of Isaac: Rebirth.
