Hey
0:43
honestly I think everyone on earth should watch this video, no matter if theyre streamers or not. It really helps out to deal with social skill issues and the anxiety to come across blanks in conversations. Thx !!
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.
Thanks so much Mayja!
Yooo
I've been a cave girl pretty much my entire life, either being ashamed or afraid to talk. Now since I became a streamer, I can notice how things have started to change a bit for the better. Thank you for making this video! The tips and advices were very helpful and welcomed!:)
i can talk to myself, just not when i know theres a risk people can hear me
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 😅
My most used tag used to find me on twitch is the chatty tag, I don’t think you can talk too much tbh
I talk a mile a minute most days:) Not a bad thing as long as you make sure you give chat the appropriate attention too:)
I think i do have this "gift of the gab", since i have always talked about everything while playing games, mostly to my friends on discord/TS back in the days. I've never started with a just chatting segment before tho! Will definitely try, thanks for the tips! :)
I feel like my rambles tend to get boring so thanks for making this! The notes about topics is a really good idea.
Everyone loves a good ramble!
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)
Just discovered your channel and your tips are ABSOLUTELY life saving!! Definitely going to implement and practice this advice more mindfully and often! Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video! Really appreciate the great tips and the confidence boost.
Happy to help!
This video was really useful as i constantly see videos saying to talk more but wont go into examples on how to, simplifying it like this really helps me understand what approach i can go with!!! 😋
Glad it was helpful!
I love your movement , I don’t even play warzone anymore but I watch your videos and streams
Great video Dan, I don't struggle with dead air but i do struggle with anything fun or interesting to talk about, which is still better but I'm getting there :)
Thanks man!
I found your channel last year when I started streaming. Although I only do it as a hobby your tips are VERY real. Listen to this guy. Your stuff has helped me out a lot when I first started. Look forward to every video.
That is awesome! Thanks so much mate!
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?
Debates are always great! :D
Thanks for the tips as always! Such good insight!
You're so welcome!
This is amazing. Some good stuff that I wasn't doing. Especially the answer the question yourself. Love that.
Yes! Thank you!
Thanks for the tips! Appreciate it!
From watching your streams, this week I decided to start each stream in Just Chatting. It hasn't been great LUL but I suspect it will get better with practice. I loved ALL the ideas in this video ty! Going to try more of these!
Nice!
Eventho ive streamed for already more than 1 year right now (I'm not a full time streamer), this tips still really helped me to think back about what im still lacking of.. Thanks dude!
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much Mr. Dan
Word association is golden advice. I would go the extra mile and try avoid familiar topics, maybe a word of the day to shake it up when you're getting good!
Well said! Thanks lad!
These tips are SO useful! Thank you so much, this really makes me rethink what to talk about...
I am glad you posted this. thank you.
You're welcome!
this video was so helpful! I don't know about you but there's days where I feel like I can flow and chat it up and others where I want to keep the stream going but my mind just goes blank.
This has helped heaps I’m struggled with finding things to talk about when I have no one in chat thanks legend
This video was so helpful! I just averaged 18 by using the tips in this video. Can't wait to catch you streaming again and making videos
Love these, thank you im very new to streaming and i always thought i was ok at being social lol but this is a whole nother thing lol, but hoping my nerves will ease the more i do 😊
I like the ask yourself questions tip. And the connecting topics
Legit the hardest part especially when you first start out! Solid vid pal
It really is! Thanks mate!
Thank you for this
Ive been asking for this for a year but im so glad i found this
Great advice, I'm going to try this.
I very much needed to hear this, I feel like I get a bit shy after I talk to myself for while
I was like that for the longest time! It gets easier with time:)
So many amazing tips in this video Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou 😊
You're so welcome!
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!
Gets easier for sure! Thanks mate!
@@xTwoShoes the dream is to get where you're at, getting closer, but not quite there
Start your stream on a 2-5 minute ’starting soon’ screen to let people get into chat first if you don’t have one yet
@@ValKellii Thanks for the idea, I'll have to add one and keep that in mind
Great video, some solid advice 💪
Appreciate it!
I appreciate the advice
Love your stuff! Thanks! ❤️👍🏻🥃🇺🇸
Thanks for watching!
great vid bro
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
~Sparhawke on Twitch (not streamed for a while for being busy)
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
Well when I started streaming I couldn’t talk to myself like it got awkward so I ended up being silent for the whole stream until someone chatted, and I started commenting on everything I saw in my game, and it made me better to talk to myself
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.
Struggling with this right now…great advice and vid 💯
This channel is amazing.
Thank you for the reminder that I forgot to put my specs on this morning 🤣
You can see from the old clips where you're almost shrinking away, it's great to see the streamer glow-up
Aww thank you!!!
This video i think is the most valuable thing people can learn. How it only has 400 likes is mind boggling
Thanks so much!
Have this problem a lot as a new streamer with near 0 followers average... I will surely try this !
That glasses switch threw me off, lol - yeah I gotta start doing the random stories and gapping more. i feel like even if I have viewers, the chat goes quiet anyway so gotta talk as if talking to no one sometimes
Haha I realised halfway through I couldn't see :D Honestly story time gets to be so fun!
6:36 I feel attacked ahahaha....seriously though I do try to talk about game trivia (if i know a lot about the game) or my opinions on the game - effectively reviewing as i go and making jokes about what i see and taking the piss out of myself and the game. 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.
Nice one! Keeping an open conversation can be so fun as you arent just tied down to one thing:)
I always Talk to myself when I'm Streaming! Even if I have as little as 1-2 people (sometimes a little more), watching me! I try to be as entertaining and open as possible!
when he did that eh eh eh sound it really confused me since sometimes that happens when I have a seizure but i could still move LOL
BABY TWOSHOES!!!!
What a confused wee lad!
I hope LOTR truly is your favorite movie and you’re not just throwing that out there😂. Because it is absolutely(and this is an indisputable fact) that LOTR is the greatest trilogy ever period
It sure is! I have a pretty large LOTR tattoo on my right arm haha
@@xTwoShoes nice! Unfortunately I don’t think that greatness will ever be replicated in a trilogy ever again
xtwoshoes with god video again
Also did you know there’s an OBS plugin that allows you to put notes in scenes as a dock?
I do! However, 2 years ago Dan did not 😂
"You are going to have no viewers. For some people it may be a week, for some people it may be a year"
for some people it may be 3+ years ._.
If i ever get numbers, this will be the man who hands me my yapping degree.
Hey bro. How do you make the chatbox on your stream be sort og tilted?
an OBS plugin called StreamFX:)
9:27 Now I really want to watch this clip
Okay, but I'm a person who doesn't like to talk. Is streaming worth if I don't talk that much?
Good video but if a streamer goes into just chatting for like 10min without a face cam and only with a just chatting screen wouldn’t that just be kinda boring unless someone is planing to watch a stream in the background
Plenty of ways to do just chatting without a camera for sure! Theres plenty of design tools that you can use to fill the visual gap if you don't want to show your face:)
Should I be trying it out and just streaming to get used to it, knowing it won't be perfect but getting comfortably or do I need to be at a specific standard first? Like I don't want my channel to be doomed from the start if it is just boring to begin with?
What's the setup behind you in this video
Just my old desk:)
epic
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.
It's hard alright. I was there for a long time! It does get easier with some hard work:)
Where can I get cool chat widgets such as yours?
I think mine are from Nerd or Die!
the quality is getting higher every video!
Thank you! We are trying:D
I mean, I have a good mindset, but after a while of streaming I got like no follow and no viewer, so that's why i change my approach.
Changing things up is key sometimes:) Keep trying stuff out and you'll find a winner!
I learned to just answer my own questions cuz I had a few awkward moments waiting for a response
Yep! Works a charm!
You look different! Don’t you usually wear glasses??😂
I do! I put them on about a minute into the vid cause I realised I couldn’t see 😂
That's called ADHD 😂😂😂
What if you’re trying to just chat
I love chicken curry.
It bangs tbf
xoxo
❤️❤️❤️
Awkward maybe a selling point? 😁✌️
So what youre saying is stop taking my adhd meds and ill be the best streamer
😂😂😂😂
Yes
yeah, but if nothing happened in your life ?
I mean, who cares about what i ate ? I don't even care about that.
Talking about the games ? People already know the game !
You talk to the game itself
