  Now I’m just imagining her sitting in front of her computer bouncing all over the place and making really exaggerated facial expressions, all while trying to make her voice sound as natural as possible lol

  You have to learn to BE your model. Act as if your model is your mirror. You are the one making the model move so...do it with enthusiasm! Have a great day everyone!

  Big facts. The streamer makes the model, not the other way around. <br><br>Also, mad respect to Vtubers like Lily. Must take some <i>real</i> stamina to be overly expressive for hours on end to make the most out of their models while providing content for their viewers.

  VTubers are literally the Voice Actors of streaming. Lily literally just explained how voice acting works. You can&apos;t just go into voice acting or VTubing and be boring. Just because a camera isn&apos;t on you doesn&apos;t mean you can phone it in.

  the thing is so many gamers (who are streamers) have years of experience sitting there only using their voice. So the physical emoting while doing the thing isn&apos;t there it&apos;s unlearning a habit for some people and learning a habit for others.

  Whenever I&apos;m explaining to people what VTubing is, I always say that they&apos;re puppeteering a virtual character, and this clip really shows why I like using this word.<br>To get the most out of a puppet or avatar, sometimes you have to act things out a little differently than you would with your own body, and making bigger exaggerated motions and expressions is rarely a bad thing. <br>Understanding your model or puppet and how to make them come alive is worth more than a fancier model/puppet. It&apos;s how the muppeteers make even fairly simple puppets like Kermit the Frog really come alive. Mad respect for Lily for understanding this.

  I think I remember 2win talking about this on one of her streams. That Lily took her time to learn and master how to move the model, toggles and all, and it really shows

  kinda funny to imagine lily bouncing up and down like her model in real life. It fits with her violent table slapping habits XD

  Sometimes a model does in fact have crappy tracking or even a very limited set of expressions. Look at Irys&apos; original model before her new one, that one was really not animated well. But her new model has amazing tracking and expressions. It was actually the same guy for both models, he just improved A LOT since his first attempt.

  1: Your model is pretty awesome. It&apos;s very well made. Huge prop to the artist that made it. <br>2: From what you are explaining, it sounds a lot like puppeteering. As someone who lives in a city with an international puppeteering festival, the performers at the show doing the work is as important as the puppet makers work. It&apos;s using your tools to the fullest to bring it all out. It&apos;s surprising how much emotion you can bring to lifeless things if you&apos;re good at using your tools. You clearly are. <br>3: Womp womp.

  This clip really means a lot to me, I just got a text from a client of mine, saying something along the lines of telling me to re-rig the model and make it more &quot;life-like&quot;. <br>They gave me references to models that cost thousands of dollars, while mine cost less than $500 for a full model. <br>It really hit me hard, thinking that it was my rigging skill&apos;s fault, but seeing this clip really cheered me up.<br>I&apos;m planning to make a comparison video later of me using the model when I am not expressive compared to when I use it full of expressions in real life. <br>I&apos;ve tried it already personally with my own model and yes, in real life facial expressions really effect the end result in the vtuber model looking more &quot;life-like&quot;
