Frequently Asked Questions
What is lucid Multimedia?
lucid Multimedia is a US-based virtual entertainment talent agency that offers VTubers and digital content creators a dynamic platform to unleash their full creative potential. By "Expanding Horizons and Empowering Creativity", we strive to transform dreams into reality, enrich lives, and create positive, impactful experiences.
lucid Multimedia's mission is to democratize the business of the entertainment industry for content creators. We believe that artists affiliated with a company should have the right to freedom of speech and access to ethical business support.
What is a Virsona?
A Virsona™ refers to a virtual content creator affiliated with lucid Multimedia, often known as a "lucid VTuber".
What distinguishes an adoption-style VTuber audition from a traditional audition that offers a new model/identity?
In an adoption-style audition, we embrace VTubers as they are, allowing them to retain their unique identities and maintain ownership of their intellectual property.
In a traditional audition, talents will be provided with a new model and identity created by lucid Multimedia. While the company will retain ownership of the intellectual property associated with the new model and branding, the talents will be fully supported by our team, including creative and technical resources to help bring their character to life.
Are traditional VTuber auditions an option?
Yes, this time we are conducting both general auditions and adoption-style auditions. In a general audition, we offer new models/identities for talents. Both options are available to applicants during this round of auditions.
How can I participate in the VTuber audition?
To apply, click the link at the bottom of this page or navigate to our Auditions page on our website at www.welcometolucid.com/auditions and follow the instructions provided.
Do I need to have experience in VTubing to apply?
No, prior VTubing or live streaming experience is not required. The audition is open to anyone passionate about creating engaging virtual content. Whether you already have a VTuber identity or not, we encourage you to apply, as we welcome both experienced creators and newcomers to the field.
What are you looking for?
We are looking for passionate and creative individuals who are eager to engage with audiences through virtual content. Whether you are an experienced VTuber or new to the scene, we value unique personalities, dedication, and the ability to consistently deliver engaging streams or content. We seek talents who are committed to developing their skills, growing with the community, and bringing fresh perspectives to the VTuber world. Most importantly, we’re looking for those who align with our mission of empowering creativity and embracing freedom of expression.
When is the application deadline for the VTuber audition?
Auditions are open from October 15 to November 28. After November 28, submissions will still be accepted for future consideration, but only those received by the deadline will be reviewed for this round.

What benefits do you provide to your talents?
We offer talent management, merchandising support, networking opportunities, and stipends for necessary equipment and art. Our goal is to foster an environment where Virsonas™ can express their creativity with minimal restrictions.
How much creative control do talents have?
We uphold a Code of Conduct, but we do not impose strict restrictions on content creation. We believe in giving our talents the freedom to express themselves while providing ethical business support.
What level of time commitment is expected?
As a rule of thumb, we expect a minimum commitment of around 40 hours per month. This typically includes streaming or delivering content 3-4 times per week, along with any additional activities such as collaboration or community engagement. We understand that schedules may vary, but consistency and dedication are key to succeeding as a member of lucid Multimedia.
Can I apply if I'm located outside of the United States?
Yes, international applicants are considered on a case-by-case basis, though we have a preference for US-based talents. We still encourage non-US applicants to apply, keeping in mind our general focus.
Can I re-audition in the future if I’ve auditioned before?
Absolutely! We encourage applicants to reapply for future opportunities. However, reapplying immediately after receiving audition results may not result in a re-review of your application.
How will I know if my application was accepted or rejected?
We will be scheduling interviews in batches, with the last batch of invites sent out on Nov 28. All applicants who proceed past the first interview will advance at the same time. If you have not heard from us by Nov 29, that means that, unfortunately, we did not accept your application at this time. Due to the high volume of submissions, we regret that we cannot provide individualized feedback for each applicant.
Are you accepting male/non-binary VTubers for auditions?
Yes! We welcome auditions from male and non-binary VTubers. We believe in inclusivity and encourage talents of all genders to apply!
