Today, we’re gonna take a look at game capture. We hear a lot of talk about capture cards. Do you really need a capture card to start streaming? Well, a lot of that depends on what platform you are trying to stream from, but on PC and some modern consoles, you actually don’t need a capture card for basic streaming! We'll let you know how! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nonamenerd/message…
Last time we talked about cameras. But what good is being on camera if people can’t see you clearly? So, if we’re going to be on camera, we need to address the lighting in the room. You need to be lit clearly, but not so brightly that it overwhelms the camera. In some situations, the ambient lighting in your room will be serviceable enough for this task. Just make sure that it is lighting your face evenly, and you aren’t getting any weird shadows. If necessary, grab a small lamp or pick up a small mobile ring light for like 20 bucks at Walmart to help even out the shadows. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nonamenerd/message…
When we talk about what it takes to start a stream, you don’t need anything fancy for a webcam to get up and running. For some categories, like gaming streams, you don’t even really need a camera! You may have a webcam lying around the house or baked into your computer that can get the job done. As long as it’s outputting at a minimum of 240p, it will suffice to just get your face in the corner of the frame. If you’re looking to do a full-frame video, make sure you at least can output at 720p. If you are looking to get a halfway decent budget model, check out Walmart’s store brand, Onn. They have a few decent models that will get you by for less than 30 bucks. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nonamenerd/message…
One of the biggest barriers to new people getting into content production is not knowing where to start with gear. So, in these next few podcasts, we’re going to discuss the basics you need to start, and where to go with upgrades, specifically with regards to audio, video, lighting, and game capture. Today, we’re gonna take a look at sound. Er, take a listen to sound. Er, talk about sound. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nonamenerd/message…
One of the most rewarding parts of being a streamer is building authentic connections with fans in your chat. A lot of fans enjoy building those connections as well, and it can be a lot of fun when we all feel comfortable enough with each other to talk about our own lives and such. Unfortunately, sometimes, that sort of comfortability can lead to fans unloading about their personal life, their mental health, and even make threats to their own health/lives, or even the lives of others. So, naturally, we need to be prepared. In this episode, we’re going to discuss how to make a plan to handle this, what kind of resources to keep on hand, and how to gently handle the situation in the chat. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nonamenerd/message…
In addition to some updates about the Noname Nerd NFT projects (especially the Digidenizens!), I talk about why the criticism that you simply right click and make copies of NFTs invalidates the value of NFTs. As I discuss, there are lots of very famous and very collectible items from famous art to basketball shoes that is either a functional copy of the real one because it has been restored or available as a copy (e.g. knockoff) that doesn't prevent people from wanting to get the real copy. In fact, NFTs are part of a long-standing desire among human beings to be able to trace where the item that they own came from. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nonamenerd/message…
I provide an update on some things that happened to the Noname Nerd Company and Community in 2021 and a vision for where we plan to go in 2022. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nonamenerd/message
If you ask most streamers–especially new people–why they want to make a career out of streaming, one of the most common answers to this question is “because being paid to play games sounds fun!” It’s often not until we really dig deep into streaming that we realize how challenging of a job it can be. Around the discord server, we often refer to it simply as “The Grind”. In this podcast, we’re going to discuss how to survive The Grind, by setting the right expectations, setting SMART goals, and some techniques to keep positive. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nonamenerd/message…
Here at the Noname Nerd Communities, we’ve talked to countless nerds wanting to get into various content creation categories. We often ask them why they haven’t started, and the response is always some variant of the same answer. “I don’t know how.” “I’m not good enough yet.” We could keep going, but you get the idea. So, let’s take a deep dive into a concept known as “impostor syndrome.” We’ll define it, let you in on the industry secret on who qualifies as a content creator, and we’ll teach you how to beat it by using a student mentality! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nonamenerd/message…
Charity streams are one of the most fun ways to give back to the community as a streamer. Last time, we discussed how to pick a charity to work with. But now that we’ve found one, how can we fundraise as effectively as possible with our audience? Today, we’re going to look at some widely successful tactics that we can use to increase the revenue for our charity of choice. We’ll be discussing publicizing techniques, goal setting and incentives, and perfecting the “inform and ask.” Let’s take a look at how mastering these three items can maximize your fundraising impact. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nonamenerd/message…
You know, if our community is any indication, nerds might just be the most caring individuals on the planet. Have you ever wondered how you can help other people by creating content?

In previous podcasts, we’ve discussed finding the right voice and right platform for your content. But how do people find that voice? Equally important to finding your voice is finding consistent places where your fans can find you! So today, we’re going to discuss the steps you need to take to carve out a more permanent home on the internet! Before we dig in, though….you might be wondering why we need to do this at all. I mean, you’ve already got your own page on Twitch or Youtube, right? I mean fans could always find you there, right? Wrong. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nonamenerd/message…

Last time, we talked about finding your voice. We failed to answer one very important question, though. What if you have multiple voices in your videos? Finding your voice is one thing, but finding the voice of your team is a completely different battle. In this podcast, we’ll discuss why variety and balance matters, and discuss some ideas for roles to play.

Who are you, who are you talking to, and what do you want to say? When we begin our journey into content creation, there are a number of different factors to consider. What platform will we produce on? What basic format of content are we going to make? What is my release schedule going to look like? I could make this list go on and on, but that would only further prove the point I’m about to make. Finding your voice is one of the most important steps you can take while building your brand. Make sure to stop by one of our online communities at www.nerdsbelonghere.com for more tips and tricks on how to find your voice! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nonamenerd/message…
