[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. :)

Interact with the chatroom often. That will help you a lot.
-
Not a streamer but I would say 1. Make the fact you are a female completly irrelevant. For instance putting the word cleavage in your post was a mistake IMO, leave that shit at the door. 2. Have fun and a unique personality fans will come or they wont.

Hey guys! I am a new girl streamer. Please check out my stream. Thanks :) [url=http://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ]http://twitch.tv/LadyLumps[/url]

Don't suck at the game. I watch Annialis a ton, never seen any cleavage on her part but she's damn good at the game
-
There's a couple pretty decent female destiny streamers I've watched and they don't show cleavage.
-
so a bit of what your momma gave you and you'll have followers in no time.
-
Just be good at playing! I am always amazed when i see girls destroy their opponents!
-
I would have thought the whole point of streaming is to give a reflection of yourself. So wear what you want and don't be a dick.
-
Shootingpandas? But...why?
-
Wanna be respected? Don't wear cleavage... [spoiler]and talk about me[/spoiler] [i]~About Me[/i]
-
I don't care I don't watch other streamers but pro tip just be yourself, be funny, and play with respect! For everyone around you and for yourself! Don't use ur woman parts to get views be all funny and awesome! Tank u bye bye
-
Look pretty and play well.
-
Just play the game, and talk about interesting things. Most importantly, have fun... But, the honest truth is, if you want viewers, cleavage works. Both women and men will be more inclined to watch. I wish it wasn't so, but that's just how it works (currently). Good luck, with streaming comfortably! :)
-
No one cares, just start your channel and dress how you want.
-
Bra only should b enough
-
cleavage or gtfo :D
-
Promise?
-
Oh dear.
-
Don't feel pressured into dressing up for your streams, pajamas and slippers is fine, big lazy dressing gown. Baked bean stained terry-toweling tracksuit. Whatever. Or dress as a Panda. Yes, much better idea.
-
Make sure you play games you are good at...lol who am I kidding...you're a girl! A guy will watch whatever a girl does lmao good luck!
-
Incorporate pandas. I don't care how xP
-
Actually play games, and don't be like other streamers. Be unique.
-
just be friendly and attentive to chat don't be a brat, spend time actually playing the game instead of talking about some random BS like I see in a lot of streams
-
Don't need cleavage it does more harm and it tends to show no respect for yourself or your body. I'm no streamer but like many here have stated: have fun, play the game, and above all else have conversation with the community watching. Good luck, I wish you the best.
