Gamer Superstar

Chapter 155 155 - Viewer POV

Danna loved watching streams, especially leaving it playing on the secondary monitor of her pc while she played some game she didn't have to pay much attention to.

But recently she was having trouble finding a stream that was interesting enough.

Most of the streams she watched were falling into the repetition of always having the same things happen, always playing the same things, the streamers having the same reactions, just talking about the same subjects with the chat...

It seemed that even if she opened different streams of different games, she was still watching the same thing.

So to change it up a bit, Danna decided to watch something other than game streams, which is what she normally watched.

"Are there any cool [Arts] streams?" She asked herself quietly as she clicked on the [Arts] streams section.

Looking at the streamers who were doing this, Danna's eyes scrolled across the various thumbnails of these streams but she wasn't that interested.

Most of these streams were from streamers that she had already watched a stream of before and that she didn't like that much.

Even though these streamers were big and had a lot of followers, most of them were artists first and streamers second, meaning they didn't really know how to interact with the audience, how to make the stream interesting beyond just singing or painting.

The few who knew how to do it well were those with more than 10k viewers, but the rest below, in Danna's view, were at best... mediocre...

Although she was already disappointed, Danna still continued to scroll down and look at the streamers who were online, but there was nothing that attracted her attention.

Then suddenly Danna saw a stream that managed to attract her attention.

This stream didn't even look any different from the other streams from what she was seeing on Thumb, it was just a boy holding a guitar while laughing at something he was saying to his audience.

From this view alone, Danna would have considered this to be one of the boring, uncreative streams and would have ignored it to look for others.

But this boy's style was more unique than that of the other streamers...

Danna liked rock music and boys with that style, so seeing on the thumbnail the boy with messy, bleached hair, with light dark make-up below his eyes while wearing various accessories and a black outfit managed to catch her attention at least from an aesthetic point of view.

'Should I click on that?' she asked herself uncertainly. 'I guess it wouldn't hurt to try it out, right?

Finally deciding to give it a go, Danna clicked on [BlackVelvet]'s stream.

"Would that be interesting? Let me try." The boy said in the stream, making Danna wonder what he was going to do.

Unfortunately, the reason she came to the stream, which was to stare at that eye candy, went off camera, leaving only the empty room for her to turn to.

This disappointed Danna, making her consider leaving the stream to look for something else interesting to watch, but when she looked at the chat, Danna felt it might be interesting to wait and see.

[Is he really going to play 'Boyfriend' with household items? That's going to be amazing!]

[How can he be so creative? LOOOOL]

[Using pans as drums? LMAO!]

[I hope he uses water bowls, I love that sound!]

[Plastic bottles as a flute? That'll be fun!]

'He wants to play his music using things that aren't instruments found in his house?' Danna was surprised to deduce what he was going to do.

After a few seconds, the boy returned with some pots and pans, only to leave them in front of the camera and leave again.

It took him a few minutes to gather everything he was going to use, but Danna felt that this time only served to increase her anticipation even more.

When he finally sat down, Danna could see more of his face and she felt that at least being able to see a handsome boy was worth the wait.

So she hit play on the farm game she was playing and continued to play while listening to BlackVelvet interacting with the audience as he set up the equipment he was going to use.

The way he was interacting with the people, answering comments, joking with the audience, telling stories of things related to what they were saying, it was all very interesting, to the point that Danna hadn't even realized that 30 minutes had passed with just BlackVelvet talking to the audience and arranging the "equipment" he had picked up to use for the song.

"We can finally start, I'm going to record the beat of the song first, something very simple using the pans because I'm not very good at drums..." The boy said into the stream as he used a wooden spoon to bang rhythmically on the pot.

This beat wasn't anything too complicated, just him tapping every few seconds to set the tempo, like a metronome.

But after he recorded and looped this audio, he moved on to another instrument, a plastic pot with coins and keys to make the noise of a rattle.

Every minute the boy would pick up a new "instrument" and start recording another part of the song, to the point of changing what had previously seemed like just a few random noises into a real song!

Danna was surprised at how interesting this was proving to be.

And the number of viewers on the stream was showing her that it was working, as when she entered the stream there were only 1,600 viewers, but that number had already risen to 2,100 people just in the last 40 minutes of the stream she was watching.

Finally, after 20 minutes of trial and error, the boy finally managed to make the melody of the song, and she had to admit that the melody of this song was very interesting.

Now the only thing missing for the song to be complete was the vocals, i.e. him using his voice to sing the lyrics.

From the comments on the stream, Danna realized that this song was his viewers' favorite, so her anticipation was high for how it would turn out.

She even paused her game and put the stream on the main monitor, wanting to see what it would be like for him to sing it.

The whole time of the stream, Danna kept switching her gaze between the game and BlackVelvet on the secondary monitor.

Surprisingly for her, not only was BlackVelvet very handsome the moment she saw him for the first time, but he seemed to be so entertaining and interesting that it was as if he was getting more handsome the more she looked at him.

To the point that now that he was getting ready to sing, Danna was just sitting comfortably in her chair while looking at the screen with a smile and paying attention to him.

Hearing him finally start to sing, what a beautiful voice he had, how handsome he looked singing it, and most surprisingly, that the lyrics weren't a love-sick song, as was often the case, but a song about how he wanted to be with another boy's girlfriend...

All this contributed to Danna's shock.

Even though the melody of the song was made up of noises from his house, Danna was loving it.

Looking at the chat, where there were only viewers sending gifs of frogs dancing, even Danna put her hand on the keyboard and sent a gif of a frog dancing too, to show her support for him and this song.

When he finally finished singing, Danna liked it so much that she had an idea.

As a frequent stream user, Danna even looked for the Subscribe button to pay to watch his stream, but it wasn't even available.

"Doesn't he look like he's on the site?" She asked herself in confusion.

Opening his profile, Danna was shocked to realize that this was his first stream!

"How is that possible?!" She asked herself shocked. "How can he be doing something so interesting on his first stream, with so many viewers already watching it?"

Curious, Danna saw that there was a link to MeTube and Instabram on his profile and clicked it.

Looking at the number of followers he had on both social networks, and especially at the number of viewers he had on his songs, Danna began to understand why his stream was so good.

Unlike other artists who weren't so successful in the real world and came to stream to get some money and recognition, BlackVelvet was the opposite, he already had it all in the real world and on other social networks, while apparently he was streaming just because it looked fun...

She watched a vlog of him backstage at gigs and realized that he already spoke very well to the camera in his videos, in a very similar way to how he was acting on the Stream.

Not to mention that he was explaining how he was acting to the audience at the shows, and observing these explanations and how he was acting on the stream, Danna realized that he was using the same concepts he used at the shows, and treating the stream audience in the same way!

'That's genius!' she thought excitedly.

Looking at the stream again, where he was playing another song of his using the "instruments" he had gotten, Danna realized that he was not only a good artist, but also a good MeTuber and streamer, because he knew how to do interesting things that kept the audience interested all the time!

Seeing how good he was at it, Danna even closed the game she was playing and enjoyed the rest of the evening watching this new streamer she had started following.
