    I’m getting better at this and have grown to 10 to 15 minutes of just chatting prior to any activity - without interaction! But I love these techniques and will incorporate the association game for sure.

    I'm happy to say that I do the "topic association" thing CONSTANTLY. I naturally think of slightly related tangents and just continue blabbing on about the given topic. That being said, would you consider a streamer who is too chatty as a negative thing? I tend to talk A LOT. To the point where by the end of my streams I have a slight strain in my voice due to how much I talk 😅

    I just discovered your channel today and I thank you so much for your streaming tips. I started streaming a month ago and talking to myself on Twitch has been my biggest hurdle so far. I always thought I was decent at making conversation until I started streaming, then I found out how bad I was at it and how difficult it is, but I think using some of the tips you've mentioned in this video could definitely help me step my game up! (No pun intended)

    Always a good subject, and a nice reminder for myself to try to do more than just narrate/joke about my gameplay! It's tricky to coax people into actually chatting. Some people just want to lurk, to begin with! I really seem to have the most success when I start rambling about food and then manage to provoke debate over pizza toppings or cake vs. pie, ahahah... it's a pretty universal subject though, eh?

    I usually just sit there and talk to myself for a good minute or two until my usual 2 or 3 people come by. It's defiantly a lot harder when there's no one in your chat, but I'm lucky enough to have those one or two people who jump in and talk to me. Great video as usual, hopefully I can catch the stream tomorrow!

    I did this once (I think it was a previous chat with you in your twitch that gave me the hint) and ended up having an hour long chat about 'crap names for a T-Rex' with several people when I mentioned I had gone to the Manchester University Museum for a quick visit before it was closed for renovation...Basically, there is a T-Rex there that is cast from an original and someone had named it Stan after the guy who had paid for it to be excavated. It really does work, especially as one of my admittedly very few regular viewers was a mod for a twitch paleontologist. It is hard at first and I am by no means an expert at it (I am really shy about my speaking voice) but this storytime does help enormously when you hit on a subject that resonates and you get a few chatters yakking with you and you can just bounce off of their comments :D

    PS: my avatar here on UA-cam is me in front of a Dinosaur cast at the Natural History Museum from 5 years ago, so people can see I actually have an interest in that stuff rather than just coming up with a topic I grabbed out of my rear end lol

  • @bohd3
    @bohd3 Місяць тому

    I heard this in a comedy class, "something funny happens, take a note!" Another one more recently from a streamer actually is to keep your own discord channel where you take notes. It's really quick and easy to essentially text yourself a note.

I have started to talk more about random other stuff but I've struggled to think of stuff while live though, but word association sounds so obvious yet it has never occurred to me. I will have to try to remember that next time.

    This is honestly my biggest issue with streaming. I have ADHD, and when there's nobody in chat, streaming is BORING AF. I can only talk to myself for so long before I feel like putting my head through a wall. It's why I have been focusing on UA-cam so I can build an audience that will come to my streams. Streaming to 0 people is miserable.
