need some opinions
Added 2023-04-15 08:16:58 +0000 UTCEDIT: thank you for bringing gender preferences to my attention. a lot of the content i've already made for the next few months (both on YT and Patreon) are intrinsically fem, but i will implement a more gender-neutral approach in terms of pronouns in the future. You'll see this reflected probably June onwards. Really appreciate your feedback!
hi everyone, any help on this front will be appreciated
can you tell me what i can be doing?
i don't know, i feel like i'm trying my best to make audios that people enjoy, but something has changed about my content that is making them less engaging and i can't see what it is
you're an objective listener so perhaps you might have some opinions that can greatly help me figure out what i should do.
is it the content itself? bad script? bad voice? quality drop because of some audios recorded on my damaged mic? or is it that i'm not active online? or that i'm mean lmao and no longer pretend to be nice? some combination of everything?
i feel really lost, sorry to make such a cringe post but yeah, any criticism helps, you don't need to be nice to me you can just be honest
i feel like i work so damn hard but it's hard to keep up with the waves, and at some point it's enough to make me want to just drown
btw, i know you guys want venti, i said this before but i go through periods of feeling extremely dysphoric when doing his voice in nsfw situations, i don't really know what it is but i do love him and will keep making audios for him, please just give me some time

as someone who struggles with vocal dysphoria myself, i can see why it can be hard to describe. for me, my voice has been on the slightly masculine side despite being afab and it makes me feel deeply uncomfortable

2023-04-18 01:06:12 +0000 UTCyup, ive taken the feedback and will start implementing it in my future audios, thanks for your comment, it really helps! venti's voice is just way too fem for me to do without feeling weird in some way. I don't know if its dysphoria per se, that's just the closest i can come to describing it. doesn't mean i don't love him or enjoy making audios of him, sometimes i just cant bring myself to for whatever reason, i don't understand it myself sadly

2023-04-17 08:32:05 +0000 UTCidk how to go about body parts since i'm sure making different variants would make things harder for you, but i'm sure making things more gender neutral would make it more enjoyable for everyone. i'm personally fine with the fem language since i'm a fem presenting nonbinary, but there might be others who may feel dysphoric also may i ask how venti makes you feel dysphoric if that's okay?

2023-04-16 02:25:52 +0000 UTCYou don't have to worry about that, I think the trans Scara audios were a good example of how to refer to body parts, my only issue is the pronouns, because that can what gets to me specifically, but other trans guys may view it differently. If it's easier for you to handle it with completely neutral pronouns, that's perfectly fine. You're doing great otherwise! 🤍🤍🤍

2023-04-15 17:43:15 +0000 UTCHi, I hope you're doing well? I personally find that you are improving more and more from the beginning, indeed you don't post much but 1) your audio takes a lot of time (scenario to write, voice training, etc.) it's work and 2) you may also have something else to do in your life while also takes your time which is normal too. I allowed myself to read the comments of others to also get an idea (that 4 currently when I write this) And it is true that the comment that proposed more neutral and rather coherent listener even if I also know that it is not easy to do of course, especially in Nsfw. For my part, it may be that the only thing that comes to mind in terms of improvement (but it's really not mandatory) is the themes or universes that can be a little more advanced in the story, but since I know that I have an overflowing imagination problem I tell myself that in the end it's just me because what you do is already Excellent (ex: the Dark King series) or am already definitely diving into it. I don't know if my message will help you but in any case you have all my support and I'm sure things will improve, what matters is to do your best, Take care Hyan and i like youuu 💕☺️

2023-04-15 10:10:08 +0000 UTChi, what about mentions of body parts? i have/ had no idea that much of any trans guys listen to my audios, sorry to hear that i made you uncomfortable without knowing

2023-04-15 10:08:10 +0000 UTCI'd have to second going to the data that made you question it in the first place and starting there. I stopped listening to anyone for a while there so admittedly I'm behind on listening to you to give better feedback. If I have anything different to report after catching up, I'll let you know.

2023-04-15 09:31:37 +0000 UTCHi Hyan! Personally I love your content to death, but I find myself supporting but not listening most of the time. The only thing that really stops me from listening is the gender tagging. I think that would be my only real request that we get fewer fem tagged posts, even if they're neutrally tagged. I don't really know how much of your demographic is guys, even more so trans guys, but I know it makes it hard for me to listen, knowing that I can enjoy up until a feminine tagging word is used, and then the mood is killed and I have to stop before I have a dysphoria attack. Again, your content is wonderful and I love your Xiaos to death, but my one request would be less fem tagged things, even if they're neutral. Otherwise, keep up the great work, and you're doing wonderfully! We love you Hyan! 🤍

2023-04-15 09:02:12 +0000 UTCFirst of all: what makes you think that your audios is not engaging as it used to be? There should be something that you saw (viewing numbers, comments etc.) that make you think that way, then I guess start from that. I don’t see any problem with your scripts, it’s getting better actually. and your posting on social media even tho is small it still got mostly positive reaction (at least that’s what I saw). So people still like you without you being nice. About voice, I think except for Venti, most of characters sound quite the same, which understandable cuz you can’t voice bunch of characters that Hoyoverse required bunches of different voice actor to voice. But if you want to do sth about it you can But that’s just me, let’s see what others think. Take care Hyan :)

2023-04-15 08:30:05 +0000 UTCI enjoy your audios. Really, I think you're doing great. I have nothing to criticize. I'm sorry to hear that you feel that way and it's great that you've noticed such things. You have a good imagination~
