I've just recently begun streaming and haven't really caught on to an identity like some of the more regular streamers. Please help me find my own identity and streaming style.

Hence I'd like to to ask for some feedbacks and suggestions on my streaming style.

What is entertaining to you guys?
How much should I be talking? Should I be joking around or focusing on strategy?
No I will not go shirtless.

Re: Stream Feedback

can't same im a fan of the music you play, otherwise just take a look at other top protoss streamers and try and imitate them + mix in your own style.

talk as much as you can whilst being able to play adequately, maybe stream on NA instead of korea so your play doesn't suffer as much.

Communicate with chat in between games.

Re: Stream Feedback

As a player I don't like you simply cause you kill zergs and it makes me angry haha
But I think your humour and personality are your strength (based off casting and interviews I have seen) so should not do the typical ladder with music style of stream
Just be typical cool light with mic and talk to audience and they will come

Forget to mention - hair tutorials ^^ thank you

Re: Stream Feedback

Thought processes, and that said above sounds good. Most importantly be yourself and not overdoing being someone you are not. I think ChadMann expressed it pretty well.

Have fun streaming and everything else should fall into place. An occasional viewer's request (gamewise that is) would spice things up once in a while

Re: Stream Feedback

I liked it. The only slightly negative thing for me was the music, but that comes down to personal taste

Re: Stream Feedback

If you fix your stream link to not link to a dead website it might help you get viewers?

Re: Stream Feedback

A working stream link at the bottom of your post would be a nice start, atm stream link directs me to own3d, which is not optimal.
This might also be worth a read: http://www.destiny.gg/n/my-journey-in-streaming/
Perhaps try to get featured on TL? Not sure what that would entail but could be very beneficial.

Re: Stream Feedback

Thanks for the feedback guys!

I think I understand the expectations that is in place.

Just need to stream more to get comfortable with showing my face infront of the camera, aswell as talking while playing.

Ofcourse music is a matter of taste but my playlist is pretty outdated so I'll be looking into that, personally I enjoy playing without music because it is a distraction which I dislike.

Aequitas/TorLuneth - SC2SEA used to allow longer signatures, now whenever I try to edit my signature it tells me there are too many lines. So I've put off editing it until now. It is now shorter, with the correct links in place. The link from the sc2sea stream database is fine as it is though.

Re: Stream Feedback

Regardless of whether you are a pro player, commentator, manager or hosting a news show - interaction with your audience is one of the biggest things people overlook.

Unless you are the best of the best people aren't going to want to watch somebody ladder all day with a screen and no interaction because your play likely isn't as refined and impressive as the best Protoss out there. People like Incontrol (whether you like him or not) has been seeing a huge growth in viewers because he commentates during his games where he can and most importantly interacts with his viewers. Destiny was similar in that he entertained his viewers.

This is where you can develop your own style in how you interact with your viewers. As a player perhaps if you look at a replay to study it, say out aloud what you are thinking. If it's the start of a game tell a story or something which happened recently.

If you are feeling really adventurous pop up your chat and see who is watching and say hello to them!

I also have been surprised at how long I am willing to watch something I'm not overly interested in (when randomly surfing game channels on Twitch) when they are on a skype call or some sort of call with other people just chatting.

When I used to ladder constantly I swear most my viewers came to listen to Dolo, Peek, Spook, Pox, myself sometimes a few others chatting on skype with the occasional Spook rage.

Re: Stream Feedback

Watch 30-60 min of incontrol stream and get a sense of how he does it and take parts you like and bring it to your stream.

I know you are streaming primarily to get better and perhaps motivate yourself to play more with others around to talk with so by no means copy 100% what others do. Even if you didn't speak at all during games and then reviewed each replay and spoke out aloud your thoughts that would be 100000% more enjoyable to watch.
