How to join Ironmouse’s Vtuber Academy

Many aspire to become vtubers, and Ironmouse is more than willing to help fans achieve those dreams with her very own Vtuber Academy.

Ironmouse is one of the most successful Vtubers on Twitch. In 2022, Ironmouse even got the title of the most subscribed female streamer on the platform. Currently, she boasts over 2 million Twitch followers. Ironmouse flourished as an independent vtuber until she became a founding member of the vtuber agency VShojo in 2020. With seven years of experience in the industry, few vtubers have Ironmouse’s experience and popularity, especially separate from companies like Nijisanji and Hololive.

Now, she wants to give others the chance to become vtubers as well, albeit in an entertaining fashion.

What is Ironmouse’s Vtuber Academy?

Ironmouse’s Vtuber Academy is a multi-day event organized by Ironmouse wherein streamers compete in various vtuber challenges. 

In essence, this is the vtuber equivalent of The X Factor, though with a lot more gremlin energy than its inspiration. Existing vtubers cannot participate in the event. Only “flesh-streamers” are allowed to join.

The winner of the event will receive a custom vtuber model, fully paid for by Ironmouse. For context, the average professional vtuber model, complete with rigging and animation, costs between $1,000 to $5,000. Ironmouse has not revealed who will create the model, but given her connections, it’s likely to be on the higher end of the scale.
