What is a V-Tuber/PNGTuber?
"A V-Tuber, or virtual YouTuber, is an online entertainer who uses a virtual avatar generated using computer graphics. Real-time motion capture software or technology is often—but not always—used to capture movement. The digital trend originated in Japan in the mid-2010s, and has become an international online phenomenon in the 2020s. A majority of V-Tubers are English- and Japanese-speaking YouTubers or live streamers who use avatar designs." - Wikipedia
"A [PNGTuber is a] YouTube personality who uses stylized static images edited onto their videos as a substitute for a facecam." - Wiktionary
"A VTuber is a content creator that uses a virtual model, often an anime-style avatar that interacts with their audience on social media platforms and video-sharing sites such as YouTube and Twitch. VTubers often have their own personalities and storylines and are usually voiced by a real human being. The avatar’s physical appearance, voice, mannerisms, and even their catchphrases are all designed to reflect the character’s overall personality." - MyVTuber
Who Can Do This?
Anyone can become a V-Tuber or PNGTuber. It takes time, craft, care, and creativity to fashion a concept together and gather all the components to become a streamer in your own right.
