i am waiting THE RAP LEESON

Honestly, I can see her doing so

iirc, Laplus said she sent her audition in about 3 years ago. Keep in mind her 2nd anniversary is in a few months. I think more and more recently there are Holomems hired far ahead of their reveals and debuts.

Not surprising since they have a lot to plan like commissioning an artist, rigging, planning debut, etc

*shuush* don't tell him about how long EN3 was hired before debut. *mind blown*

not weird at all, mumei and fuwaMoco had around 6 months they were hired to first debut

@@neroneroren6788 Hololive have models ready well before they even have a talent to use it. Who knows how many they have sitting in their company servers

I find it even more impressive. Hololive saw so much potential on Raden that they really went like "We can't lose her! We'll make this work! Call the best coach we have!!".

@@LapisD Honestly, seeing her clips and what an unorthodox, yet amazing streamer she is, I believe it!

@@LapisD I've seen people say that part of the Idol 'experience' is to see the talents improve and grow over time. It makes sense to me that rather than just pure talent, Cover might be looking more for passion and desire.

You can teach almost anyone to sing, but being an entertainer requires a spark from within the person and motivation that you just can't teach xD

Subaru perhaps being the penultimate example of "with enough passion anything else can be worked on later" xD

I'm waiting for Marine and Raden to do a song together, they have similar voices.

The plot twist is that you _have_ to have already showcased a ready talent in either being a goof-ball, being amaze-some at singing, or have skills that not a lot of people can have. Not that VTweeters matter; you have to just start that "stream" button and start broadcasting.

@@FiredAndIced Yup, to get into Hololive you need to showcase a pre-existing skillset that they are looking for. The rest can come through training, like singing in Raden's case.

Well ReGloss is special bcs they're separate from main branch Hololive, so they might have different requirements, but usually for JP, ID, EN they require SOME experience in content creation, whether streaming, or blog posting, writing, online art, music, SOMETHING where you interact with an audience in some way or create things to share. and I don't remember what othere requirements there were but I personally believe they prioritise charisma, personality and uniqueness over skill and experience. we can see here with Raden, she was a bad vocalist, and she has really bad nerves when streaming (and she isn't an illustrator or am exceptional gamer) yet here she is. she's genuinely a nice interesting person with quirks that can be endearing. and I just found out she does photography, on top of being very passionate about art, so she has experience in art. but I think Cover has just mastered finding genuine, authentic people, and they're just willing to trust that they'll do well after training them to sing and stream.

@@ruk7657 she does promotes lots of books and art places on her twitter

Probably being passionate about something or just being an interesting human being in general

To be fair, Suisei does a lot of singing and probably voice work behind the scenes, so her situation isn't uncommon

Outside of Holo? Probably not many of them, although some were actual idols before, so there had to be some training.

I'm gonna say Risu probably did already in Holo, though. Because she said she has been training breath control between 3rd and 4th fest, so she can sing that hard song. I assume she had a legit voice teacher for this.
