same but for everything in my life.
i know, that sounds schizo as fuck, my dear chat members.
If it helps you focus, it’s just another form of rubber ducking
I tried streaming for the first time over the weekend. Damn is it hard to keep talking for multiple hours straight. Especially when there’s zero messages in the chat. Streamers make it look normal but damn is it not
Share your twitch, I’ll follow u

Get a producer or anyone with you and talk to them. That’s how radio and TV broadcasters used to do it. They would talk to the console or camera operator. Eventually it becomes natural to talk by yourself. It does look like unhinged behavior without the context. But it is an old skill, as old as radio broadcast. Try acting monologues to yourself, it also helps.
But why? If you don’t enjoy it, why try to get into streaming? The chances that it’ll pay back for itself are incredibly small and it takes years of consistent streaming to get any kind of consistent audience.
If you do enjoy it, then by all means, practice a bit so it gets more natural (and more enjoyable).
OP left no indication of whether they enjoy or not. Just that it is hard. And it is hard. Broadcasters are trained formally to do it. It requires improvisation skills, acting and physical and mental stamina. But, it can also be very rewarding. Like most things in life, there’s some level of initial discomfort and hardship involved in getting to do or experience cool things. You get to choose what you want to face or not.
Oh for sure. I know some people who really enjoy it, and it is work.
That said, there seems to be some weird fascination w/ streaming/YouTubing, so I feel like people feel some pressure to get into it. How it’s presented is very different from the work that goes into it, so I’m just pointing out that if it’s not enjoyable, it’s probably not a you problem.
do it for fun. I dabbled a little to no audiece, I just liked putting on a show. No one’s watching, well, no one listens to my music either.
“Normal”? Probably.
Good? Probably not.
I don’t think it’s that bad if you’re trying to solve a problem. Still, I would whisper rather than say it out loud.
Software engineers call this rubber duck debugging
Might as well just stream
When I play wrestling video games at night, I turn off commentary and just do it myself. My daughter walked in on me and was looking at me like I was nuts
I sometimes do it while I work, talking like I’m recording a video tutorial.
I used to do this as a kid constantly before streaming ever existed.
Taking a piss outside? Literally competing for the longest piss distance tournament and taking the gold.
Are you still winning?

I’d always narrate what I was building with legos.

Some kind of battle scene, inevitably. Sometimes a wall would be involved. Other times a bridge. Often both.
I did that when playing EU4 for some time. I have probably watched too many let’s players, lol.
I would love for someone to listen to me talk
If you’re in the US, the NSA has your back. If you’re not, the NSA probably still has your back.
Maybe not normal, but as long as you know that the audience isn’t there, it’s a harmless kind of weird 🤷
So go for it, fake gay guy!
