Right now, I am Saki, the main host of the body and the majority of my personality is through Saki. Well, at first - based on my character lore - I am actually two souls in one body. When you were kind of discovering yourself through this, what sort of ways did having this “persona” help you find yourself? And being able to discover that through VTubing is something special. I think that everyone can relate to having a desire to really show who they are. Like, to reference Persona 5, it helps me show my true form. But as time went by, I realized the character I am showing myself as is actually expressing who I really am. So, being able to present yourself and your interests visually, do you feel that you're presenting a more true version of yourself through this avatar? Or do you feel that you're presenting more of a character?įirst it was the latter. So, I have a sword similar to the Curtana from the Paladin class and my preferred firearm is the KAR98k because of my previous love for Call of Duty Modern Warfare. But, I also love playing the Paladin class and I also love firearms.
I used to play Final Fantasy 14, I still love the game, and most of my clothing style is actually based off of the Red Mage class. So, for you, what goes into picking what you look like and how you present yourself? Not everyone gets to choose what they look like. We just envision ourselves on what we want to look like. It's just that we - virtual YouTubers, virtual streamers - don't necessarily have to show our face to be ourselves. It's pretty much like the same way a regular streamer see the chat on your screen, you talk to your stream. įor those who don’t know, fill us in on how a VTuber, in general, would interact with their community? Right now my favorite competitive games are Apex Legends and Rainbow 6: Siege. In my case, I enjoy doing first-person shooter streams and RPG streams, mostly of the player versus player variant and some adventuring variant like Fallout 4. I am a variety VTuber based in the Philippines. Otohime Saki: So, last name first, I am Otohime Saki. InvenCulture: Thank you so much for joining us today! Tell us a little about yourself. Today, we’re happy to chat with Otohime Saki, a variety VTuber who uses Voicemod and is a rising member of the VTuber community. Now, with real-time voice changers like Voicemod, VTubers and streamers have the opportunity to better and more authentically engage with their viewers. However, the streamer’s voice - if different from the persona - could cause a rather jarring disconnect. The rise of the VTuber community has allowed streamers to present themselves visually however they’d like.
