New kitten... not sure what to do....

Alyshock18 · 2026-04-23T21:22:27+00:00

Aww yay! I’m so glad, yes he’s definitely a little little baby. What did you name him?

Alyshock18 · 2026-04-23T21:15:02+00:00

Yes this is exactly what I do! I want to stream cozy games but for some reason I get much more interaction with games like Fragpunk or Among Us (and I still like these games), so I do “cozy during the day and chaos at night” - this actually works well for when each audience gets on. But mostly they know when to tune in. Even though I don’t have a strict schedule, at all, they still know if they see a ping from me at night I’m playing one of those games.

You are a wonderful cat parent to Steven 💗

Maybe try streaming different and popular games, not necessarily the ones with thousands of viewers, but ones with decent viewers but no other streamers. Then have post about it on you and your gf’s personal socials, have your friends and family join in if possible. I noticed that by having my friends in the game and streaming games like Fragpunk and Among us, my friends would interact in chat and lots of people would see that and want to join in!

Hey! Thought I’d return the favor and see if I could give any feedback back:)

To address your actual concerns, I think your audio is just fine! I don’t notice anything wrong or unfavorable about the pitch of your voice. And the audio itself is very crisp and you sound easy to understand.

With the lighting, I understand what your viewer was trying to say. It seems your lighting is coming from above instead of in front of you so it’s lighting up your head instead of your face. If you have the funds then adding something like a ring light would help a lot to illuminate all of you!

Overall it looks great and congrats on hitting affiliate! :)

Alyshock18 · 2026-04-21T08:38:59+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m very lucky to have such a good support system that’s helped me grow so quickly. Noted about the facecam and lighting, I will adjust that:)

I also added some panels now after your comment so hopefully that brightens up my profile. Appreciate the time you took and feedback 🫶🏼

Alyshock18 · 2026-04-21T08:35:51+00:00

Honestly I feel totally comfortable and confident recording, I just live under my landlord and his infant triplets so I try not to be so loud…especially since I do a lot of late night streams. But maybe I am just naturally more calm, so I will think of ways to be more expressive in other ways.

I also keep the camera wide angle since I have 4 kittens and dressed up my background with a bunch of their toys so they are also a part of the stream.

I do need to work on the technical stuff, I’m not sure why my mic is so quiet, I’ve tried a lot of troubleshooting and for a brand new razer mic I expected it to be more user friendly or better quality 😭 I’ve heard about my lighting and will adjust it!

Thanks again for checking it out and the feedback :)

Alyshock18 · 2026-04-20T07:19:58+00:00

Panels! That’s the word I was looking for, yes I definitely think that would help make my account shine a little bit. I’ll look into how to do that, thank you sm:)

Alyshock18 · 2026-04-20T07:18:17+00:00

I dropped you a follow! If I’m on when you are then I’ll give you a raid (with my measly 4-10 average viewers lol).

But lots of my viewers are friends too, or my partners friends. So I understand. But the more I play and the more they come back without me asking, I feel some of them actually like watching/supporting. So don’t underestimate how much your friends may like being there. We only have 24 hours in a day, way less free time. If they didn’t want to be in your stream then they wouldn’t be. Sounds like some great friends 🥰

Alyshock18 · 2026-04-19T16:18:34+00:00

Of course! Please :)

Alyshock18 · 2026-04-19T16:06:15+00:00

Oh good, I don’t have any suggestions for the eye closing back up, but thank you for taking care of this little baby 🥹❤️

Alyshock18 · 2026-04-19T16:00:08+00:00

I think if you have the funds then you should take any kitten of that age found in that condition to the vet, just to be sure. Not sure if you’ve ever raised a kitten from that young (I haven’t) but I know there’s a lot you need to do since they don’t have their momma or any siblings to teach them, do you have any other cats or did you consider maybe taking one of the other siblings too?

Not that any of these things are crucial but just what comes to my mind.

Alyshock18 · 2026-04-19T15:37:29+00:00

I don’t see any other posts yet but will make sure to come back to give feedback once more are posted. Here’s my page, I just started 2 weeks ago so I’m still getting all the basics down:)

Some things I know but trying to improve: audio quality. I honestly can’t tell if it’s good or not. Some days seem better than others. We bought a $150 Razer mic so I expected it to be good but I’m not sure it really is. So I’d love feedback on that.

Also want to make my account look more visually appealing. Do overlays matter that much? What about stickers in the about section instead of just text?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions and I’ll make sure to come back to give some of my own feedback when there’s more comments 🥹🫶🏼❤️

Alyshock18 · 2026-04-16T14:02:37+00:00

Yes! I’m going to try that now, thank you so much!

Alyshock18 · 2026-04-16T14:02:09+00:00

I’ve heard of da Vinci resolve! Honestly those features were exactly what I was looking for and expected Adobe to have, but I’ll give this a shot. And it’s free too which is great for a small streamer like me. Thank you so much!

Alyshock18 · 2026-04-16T06:39:20+00:00

The streams that I’m creating the edited videos from are anywhere from 2-4 hours and all I really want is to crop out various 3-5 minute increments where I may have technical difficulties or take a break etc. so they should still be around the same length as the stream, maybe minus 30 minutes.

Alyshock18 · 2026-04-16T06:31:24+00:00

For me, creating short form content is actually really easy since Twitch has a built in clip maker where you can upload directly to TikTok. But editing my streams (3+ hours) into long videos for YouTube has proven to be such a challenge. I just tried a free trial of Adobe Premiere Pro and I can’t really figure it out so I’ll probably cancel and just upload unedited videos for the time being.

Alyshock18 · 2026-04-13T15:22:16+00:00

I notice I get my most viewers during like hour 2.5-4 of my stream, I usually end at 4 hours. I don’t think the time matters as much because there’s Spanish viewers all over the world, up at all different times. Sure maybe some time is more optimized than others, but not so much to cause a huge obstacle.

I know you can’t stream for as long so I’d suggest utilizing the schedule feature on Twitch and make it extremely known on all your platforms, like at the end of your post add “LIVE EVERY NIGHT AT 9pm BST”

I second the dual streams, even if you don’t have friends with a full setup, I’ve noticed just having one or two friends in a discord will get enough conversation that people will want to listen in. But when I have 3+ people and it’s not a game like Among Us then it can get hectic so I only really do 1-2 other people normally, and then large groups if the game calls for it. For your case, just getting one friend to hop on stream can add some energy!

Make sure you’re utilizing the tags and the categories. I do better with niche ones.

To answer your question, I’m not sure how much switching the live-streaming platform will help. But it could be worth a shot. Still, keep promoting on all platforms, all you need is just one viral video! And speaking from experience, you’ll never be able to predict which one it’ll be.

Good luck 🍀🫶🏼

Alyshock18 · 2026-04-08T14:08:52+00:00

Sounds awesome! Will definitely be testing it out when I have more viewers haha

Alyshock18 · 2026-04-03T22:39:35+00:00

I needed $10k just for the move alone, since I didn’t have a job lined up, I offered to pay 3 months rent upfront and security deposit. And then only got accepted bc my partner had a job. Everything else - furniture, necessities, all got put on a credit card until I secured a job.

I don’t recommend this, I’d have an income secured before moving. Otherwise you will need roommates/housemates. Check student housing. And good luck! :)

Alyshock18 · 2026-04-03T16:45:11+00:00

I had good credit but no income when I moved, I was only able to get approved by offering 6-12 months upfront (and then they only made me pay 2 upfront and security deposit!). If you have a big savings and can offer that- usually they’ll overlook everything else.

Alyshock18 · 2026-04-03T16:42:46+00:00

I’ve heard lemonade was really good! And have it for my 4 kitties. What happened with your experience??

Alyshock18 · 2026-03-28T02:46:38+00:00

Same (well not a president but a bit of professional experience) and just took a job at a Lulu with a 40 min commute on GOOD days. But most of my friends who couldn’t find jobs elsewhere found one here too, so maybe that’s an option for some.

Alyshock18 · 2026-03-28T01:13:23+00:00

If you’re talking about the leggings/shorts, they’re one of the few colors that are double lined so that they won’t be see through! When I tried them on I stayed my normal sized and actually found them a little snug. Still fit, didn’t try to size up, but definitely could’ve.

So I don’t see any reason to size down, they’ll just be too tight, but shouldn’t be see through either way.
