Old people used to do this too. Back then it was called an internal monologue.
Isn’t that statistically what most twitch streamers do
Chat, am I cooked?
Clip that, chat.
It’s fine until the audience starts talking back.
chat is this real?
I tried streaming for the first time over the weekend. Damn is it hard to keep talking for multiple hours straight. Especially when there’s zero messages in the chat. Streamers make it look normal but damn is it not
Get a producer or anyone with you and talk to them. That’s how radio and TV broadcasters used to do it. They would talk to the console or camera operator. Eventually it becomes natural to talk by yourself. It does look like unhinged behavior without the context. But it is an old skill, as old as radio broadcast. Try acting monologues to yourself, it also helps.
do it for fun. I dabbled a little to no audiece, I just liked putting on a show. No one’s watching, well, no one listens to my music either.
“Normal”? Probably.
Good? Probably not.
I don’t think it’s that bad if you’re trying to solve a problem. Still, I would whisper rather than say it out loud.
same but for everything in my life.
i know, that sounds schizo as fuck, my dear chat members.
I watch you all the time, keep going FeelsStrongMan
I live alone, I too talk to the imaginary camera to keep sane. At least I think it keeps me sane.
Thanks for the bits, bananaman66764.
Ah see, I talk to my cat when I’m at home. It isn’t just me talking to myself, it’s enrichment for my little furry buddy!
I used to do this as a kid constantly before streaming ever existed.
Taking a piss outside? Literally competing for the longest piss distance tournament and taking the gold.
Are you still winning?
At that point just hit record and decide later if you want to post some parts of it.
Wil help build confidence to start streaming.
I would love for someone to listen to me talk
I used to do it a lot as a teenager. For everything in my life. Now much less. I wonder why.
Your body adapted after realizing it was a total waste of energy?
A less cynacle (however you spell that) theory might be it’s useful for language learning/practicing.
I think that’s just thinking out loud or talk to yourself. It’s another story if OOP overreact on every turn though.
Anon should just do a stream and do their best and hope one of the popular streamers/youtubers pity them and give them a donation and a shoutout to a massive audience.
Pity views better than no views.
Maybe not normal, but as long as you know that the audience isn’t there, it’s a harmless kind of weird 🤷
So go for it, fake gay guy!
