Next Generation Gamers | VTuber Agency

Auditions for NextGG are now closed! Thank you everyone! Our entire team was thrilled to see over 200 auditions! Each audition felt like a vote of confidence in our new agency, and we're incredibly grateful for your trust and support! As we wrap up our evaluations, we would like to let you know that each applicant was evaluated with care. Our audition team thoroughly reviewed each applicant's content, social media, and streaming consistency. Every applicant was given an equal chance at success, regardless of follower counts or CCV. We truly appreciate the effort and perseverance that we saw in each applicant, and we made every effort to give your auditions the respect that you deserve. On behalf of the team at NextGG, we wholeheartedly thank you.

We’re continuing our audition feedback series today! We’ll be focusing on what kind of content creation activities our auditions team responded well to! In our audition, we asked applicants to provide links to their YouTube and Twitch channels. This was so our team could get a better understanding of an applicant’s content creation habits. The most important factor our team looked for was consistent streaming on at least one of these platforms. Consistent streaming shows that an applicant is ready to commit to a long-term relationship with a talent agency. Our team favoured applicants who have been streaming regularly for at least six months. Additionally, our auditions team responded well to applicants with a history of producing long and short form content on their YouTube channel. In this area, the most important factor that our team considered was also consistency. In the past 4 months, applicants who published short-form videos at least twice a week and long form videos at least once a month were considered stronger candidates. On YouTube and Twitch, our auditions team responded well to applicants with a history of consistent content creation. Our team reviewed this on a most-recent and most-consistent basis. These factors were considered to evaluate if an applicant appeared ready to commit to a long-term relationship of content creation with NextGG. Thank you for taking the time to read this post! This series is meant to help promote discussions and reflections on how VTubers present themselves in talent auditions! We hope that you find this information useful!

In this next part of our series on audition feedback, we’re going to explain what factors our audition team responded well to in an applicant’s content creation activities. In this question, we asked applicants to tell us about their activities as a livestreamer. Our team favoured informative answers about an applicant’s streaming history. In this regard, our team responded well to information about how long an applicant has been streaming, how often an applicant streams, and what kind of content the applicant streams. In general, our team favoured applicants with a history of streaming for at least 6 months to 1 year, applicants who stream at least 2 – 3 times per week, and applicants with a focus on gaming. One of our main concerns as a talent agency is whether a talent can commit to streaming in the long-term. Our audition team responded well to applicants with an extensive history of consistent streaming, and a well-defined direction for their content. These kinds of answers showed that an applicant was prepared to commit to a long-term relationship of streaming with NextGG. In the case where an applicant had a less extensive history of streaming, our team evaluated their potential to succeed as a content creator instead. This means that the long-form answers about an applicant’s plans for goals and activities as a VTuber were assigned more weight in their audition. Thank you very much for your interest in this series! We will continue this series by going into further detail about what content creation activities our audition team responded well to.

@YamAlbat We'd love to see our agency help represent Canada on your list!

VTuber Groups! VTuber Agencies! VTuber Idol Units! REVEAL YOURSELF TO ME AND I WILL ADD YOU TO MY BIG LIST!!! (All countries and languages welcome!!!) Who is going to be my 200th VTuber Group on the list? (Link to this Twitter List below if you want to follow it)

This post will round out our audition feedback on the long-answer portion of our auditions! This next part of this series will continue with our team's reflections on the social media accounts and content creation activities of applicants! We hope this info can help VTubers reflect on how they present themselves in auditions, and hopefully improve! The long-answer questions were to help our auditions team learn about who exactly an applicant is. It's best to assume that the auditions team does not know much about you. As a result, our auditions team responded well to answers that were detailed and informative. Our team favoured answers that were at least 1 paragraph (5 - 7 sentences) and detailed. To check that your answers are detailed, we recommend that you read them over from the perspective of someone who does not know you. Let's say our audition team reads an answer that says an applicant's goal as a VTuber is to spread happiness. Our team likes the nature of that goal, but is unsure of how the applicant plans to meet that goal. In this case, it would be best if the applicant could re-read their answer and identify that it needs more detail. Then the applicant could add detail by writing that their goal as a VTuber is to spread happiness by maintaining an optimistic attitude towards their chat. In these long-answer questions, our team favoured answers that were detailed and informative. These kinds of answers helped our team better understand an applicant's personality and attitudes toward streaming. We hope this info has been informative! While we cannot guarantee this info will help in other talent auditions, we hope that this info can help VTubers reflect on how they present themselves in auditions. There are still more thought from our auditions team to come! Please stay tuned for later posts where we will reflect on what other factors our auditions team responded well to!

We're providing feedback on our auditions! We'll explain about what factors and answers our auditions team responded well to! This was our final long-answer question. It asks the applicant to tell us who is their favourite VTuber. There is no wrong answer to that question. The important part of this question is why they are your favourite VTuber. This helps us to learn about what an applicant sees as admirable or inspirational in a content creator. This info gives us a better understanding of what factors can help them bond with their genmates. One of the greatest concerns of our talent management team is making sure that our talents can have healthy relationships with one another. Understanding what factors a talent finds admirable can help us build a team that meshes together well, and hopefully can become strong and supportive friends. There were many answers that our team liked to see. Some of the answers that our team received well included Vtubers who create a welcoming environment for their community, those who have a fun and entertaining personality, those who give others confidence, and those who show persistence and dedication in their activities. The best answers to this question were honest and genuine expressions of what they like about their favourite VTuber. Thank you very much for reading all the way to the end! We hope this info can help VTubers reflect on how they present themselves in talent auditions! We hope this info has been informative for you, and we hope to see you thrive as VTubers!

Here's some more feedback from our auditions team! We're going through what kind of answers our audition team responded well to! We hope this information can help VTubers reflect on how they present themselves in talent auditions! In this long-answer question, we asked about how applicants overcame a challenge that they faced. A challenge is challenging because it tests the limits of what you can handle. This challenge can present itself in a variety of ways, such as: a difficult social situation, a challenging work-life balance, trouble with self-motivation, etc. Our team responded well to answers that demonstrated an applicant's ability to self-reflect in these situations. Favourable answers showed an ability to understand how exactly the situation challenged the applicant. Let's say an applicant wrote about how they were having difficulties balancing their VTubing activities with their studies at college. The applicant writes that because the pacing of their schoolwork changes depending on the time of year (more free time in summer, but less free time around final exams), they have trouble finding the time to stream during the busy parts of the school year. The applicant identifies that this is a challenge to their organizational skills. The applicant writes that they solved this issue by organizing their school workload to begin working on projects earlier so that they have more time to stream during the busy parts of the semester. Our team favoured answers like this, because it shows the applicant identified what area this situation challenged them (organizational skills) and implemented a solution to help ease this challenge. This answer demonstrates an ability to self-reflect, which is crucial in overcoming personal or professional challenges. To summarize, our team responded well to answers that showed an applicant's ability to self-reflect on how the challenge tested their abilities, and how this helped them find a solution to the challenge. Thank you very much for reading to the end! While we cannot guarantee this info will help in talent auditions for other agencies, we hope it can help applicants reflect on how they present themselves in auditions!

In this part of our auditions feedback series, we're going to cover another written answer that our auditions team responded well to! We asked applicants to explain why they want to join NextGG. One factor that our team liked seeing in this answer is how an applicant aligns with this agency's vision. Because we are a gaming-centred agency, answers that explained how important gaming was to applicants were received favourably. In addition to that, answers that demonstrated an applicant's expectations for working with our agency were well received by our team. These answers showed that an applicant had given serious thought to working with an agency and about the services that an agency provides. This includes factors that an agency typically provides such as a new VTuber IP, new stream art and assets, and coordinating sponsorships on behalf of the talents. Also, our team responded well to answers that showed an applicant understands the services that we announced on our website and social media pages (a personalized marketing strategy and editing services for the talents). Furthermore, our team liked answers that showed willingness to work with others (such as growing and collabing with genmates). We understand it's a lot of info to include in an answer, but our team responded well when most elements of these factors were represented in an applicant's answer. These answers demonstrate a clear understanding of expectations for our agency. This shows that an applicant has given serious thought about how an agency can help support their VTubing activities. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this post! While we cannot guarantee that these kinds of answers will work in other talent auditions, we hope that this info can help applicants reflect on how they present themselves in talent auditions!

We're posting feedback on our auditions to give VTubers insights on ways they may be able to improve their auditions! Today, we'll discuss what answers our audition team responded well to! In this question, we asked about what activities applicants want to do as a VTuber. We noticed there were 2 important factors that made an answer stronger: having one or two major activities align with the agency's mission and having a broad scope of activities! Since our agency is gaming-oriented, our team responded well to answers that showed the applicant's main focus aligned with gaming. Furthermore, answers that went into detail on these activities were well received by our auditions team. For example: you could have a recurring gaming activity like "retro game Fridays" where you play a different game every week. You could expand on this by showing us how you plan to manage this activity. You could take game suggestions from your community, and spin a wheel to decide which game you play. Our team responded well to answers like this, because it shows you plan to have regular gaming events, and you've thought about how to manage this activity. Additionally, having a broad scope of goals was received well by our auditions team. Our team responded well to applicants with a focus on gaming, but also have talents or interests outside of gaming. For example: your main focus could be on gaming, but you're also a singer and you want to do karaoke streams. Showing a plan for this, like taking song requests in your community Discord server, shows that you're serious about pursuing this activity. The takeaway from this post is that our auditions team responded well to 2 factors: a focus on activities that align with the agency's goals, and candidates who are multitalented. Additionally, our team liked seeing answers that showed a plan for running these activities. Thank you for reading all the way to the end! We hope this info can help you reflect on how you present yourself in talent auditions!

We're starting our audition feedback series with the long-answer questions from our auditions. We noticed there were many kinds of responses, and we'd like to share what kind of responses that our audition team reacted well to! We asked this question about your goals as a VTuber. When listing your goals, it's best for you to have about 4 - 5 specific goals and to explain your path to achieve them. For example, if one of your goals is to build your community, we liked seeing a plan like holding weekly community events in a Discord server. This shows that you're on a path to achieve this goal, and serious about community interactions. Additionally, it's best to see if some of your goals align with the agency's mission. For NextGG, our mission is to promote gaming in the VTubing sphere! A goal that fits this answer can be something like covering gaming news. Your plan to meet this goal can be you releasing long-form videos about the latest gaming news on a regular basis (weekly or biweekly). This shows an alignment between our goals, and can help your audition. To summarize, our audition team responded best to candidates that had 4 - 5 specific goals and plans to achieve those goals. Additionally, having at least 1 or 2 goals that align with the agency's mission can further enhance your audition! If you've read to the end, thank you very much! It's a lot of information, but we hope this can help you succeed as a content creator!

Today, we're going to begin posting our reflections about what our auditions team saw in successful applicants. Please understand that there is no single factor that leads to success. You are a collection of many different skills, dreams, and personality traits. People are evaluated on a variety of different factors. This series is intended to help VTubers identify areas where they may have difficulties during auditions. And one more important thing: these reflections may not be applicable to other agencies. Their needs and preferences may be different, and they may respond differently than our auditions team did. Our hope is that these reflections can help spark thoughts and discussions on how one can improve their chance of success in talent auditions.
