Hololive\u2019s Mori Calliope & Gawr Gura lift lid on VTuber beginnings HololiveVTubers Mori Calliope and Gawr Gura have opened up on their VTuber beginnings in a new \u2018Rise of VTubers\u2019 YouTube podcast, explaining how they started out in the area. VTubing may remain a mystery to some but, to others, the stars of Hololive are as normal to tune into as Ninja, TimTheTatman, Pokimane, and more. Now, two of the community\u2019s biggest names \u2013 Mori Calliope and Gawr Gura \u2013 have delved into how they became involved in the space. They did so in a new YouTube podcast entitled \u2018The Rise of VTubers\u2019, designed to shed light on the rapidly expanding area of online content. For Calliope, who boasts over 2.1 million subscribers on YouTube, it was a case of immersing herself in a \u201cunique\u201d online space where she truly felt able to be herself. She said: \u201cVTubing kind of offered this unique situation where I could totally, unabashedly, be myself and not worry too much about what I look like, and I can just do the things I want to do. \u201cRecently I did a live show in the real world. Real human beings came to a live venue. There was of course a big screen in front of them, but behind that screen I was really dancing, 100% as myself, dancing and singing live behind said screen. Being in Hololive influenced me to get voice lessons and become a singer. Now I\u2019m able to do so much more.\u201d Gura, who has over 4.2 million YouTube subs, explained that it allowed her to bypass fears over performing in front of people, joking that the last time she sang in front of someone in real life was likely her mother. She said: \u201cLast time I sang in front of anybody was in front of my mother years ago, and probably against my will. So I started it up and the next thing I knew, I had 120,000 people watching me sing. Live. From my bedroom. Which, to this day, absolutely blows my mind. \u201cYou can potentially meet some fantastic friends, create a community for yourself, and if you\u2019re technologically advanced and you say \u2018I have ideas for this community\u2019, please share them \u2014 we\u2019re desperate! Please!\u201d Some may continue to dismiss VTubing but, for the stars of Hololive and their millions of fans, it continues to be a rapidly growing industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
