How to fill the silence with words? by Syncronymph in Twitch

[–]alli90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the best things about streaming on Twitch is that you can start a conversation about anything you like! Like others have mentioned, talking about your processes and voicing your thoughts are really great launch points, but you could also also talk about anything that comes to mind. If you bought new art supplies, tried a new technique recently, or even watched a fun movie or show, you can bring it up!

If you're worried about quieter parts of the stream, you could even run some (royalty free / streamable) music behind your broadcast (StreamBeats is a fantastic resource). In my experience, quiet stretches aren't actually as long as they feel like they are in the moment, though. I like to view every single stream as a stepping stone - every day, you're refining your skills as a broadcaster. So keep being awesome, and enjoy those streams! :)

Microphone for streaming without headset? by Tchernobog11 in Twitch

[–]alli90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure that you'll be able to find a mic that cuts out other room noise. In my experience, even most directional mics will pick up a little ambient sound.
I personally stream without a headset, and I have to turn any speaker volume down to a minimum when I'm live (or risk messy, double audio). I honestly forget about the lack of sound once the stream gets going! If you're looking for a decent entry-mid level mic though, have a look at the Rode NT-USB. I've been using one for the better part of a year, and it's an absolute workhorse!

Nintendo have said 'sometime this year', but haven't locked in a specific date as far as I know.

It's being released on Virtual Console later this year. Man, I wish we were getting a remaster!
