What exactly is a Vtuber? Well, in simple terms, a Vtuber can be described as an online personality who disguises their appearance using a personalized digital avatar.
The trend has been around for a while, but has only recently gained momentum in the United States, thanks in large part to popular figures such as PewDiePie, Pokimane, and various other influencers.

Today we are going to show you show some options that we think are perfect for those dipping their toes in the water for the first time.
