\"Spotlighted<\/p>\n

We couldn\u2019t do what we do without the support of our incredible community of streamers, and as part of our\u00a0<\/strong>Stream Team<\/strong><\/a> Spotlighted Streamer interviews we\u2019ve talked incredible musician and GameBlaster, AKLTrifecta!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Hello! I\u2019m AKLTrifecta, a casual streamer\/VTuber, making a variety of gaming\/music content for Twitch (primarily), Twitter, YouTube, and TikTok.<\/p>\n

In addition to content creation, I’m a self-taught drummer of about 8-9 years, I\u2019ve been working on a personal GameDev project in “RPG Maker”, and I\u2019m also working on getting into voice acting with my Commercial Demo recorded, and working on a Character Demo!<\/p>\n

That\u2019s fantastic! We\u2019ve been fans of your drumming content for a while! Tell us, how long have you been a content creator, and how did you get started?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve been a content creator since July 2018, so going on five years now. It all started because a friend of mine wanted to see my reaction to the game NieR:Automata. I figured that having my reaction streamed and recorded would be cool, and from there, I found that making streaming content was just fun in-and-of itself!<\/p>\n

Your friend has good taste, the NieR games are great! So, what is some of your favourite content to make online and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of my favourite things to do on stream are the Otaku Drum Streams I have near the end of each month, where people can submit anime\/video-game songs for me to drum along to (which is usually the first time I’m hearing the song too!) I find it a great way to practice my drummer-intuition, and just have fun with a community who appreciates some good music!<\/p>\n

That\u2019s wonderful! You mentioned you also stream games, what are some of your favourite games, and why are they important to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ooh, this one’s a toughie… I guess first and foremost, the Yakuza\/Like A Dragon games are at the top. After all, if it wasn’t for those games, I wouldn’t have come into contact with SEGA and thus, would not have heard of SpecialEffect! A special shoutout goes to the Monster Hunter and Persona series of games as well, all of them being favourites of mine.<\/p>\n

SEGA are incredible, we\u2019re so thankful that we\u2019ve met some amazing creators through their support! So, why did you choose to fundraise for us?<\/strong><\/p>\n

After connecting with SEGA, one of their team reached out to me and asked if I wanted to be a part of their team taking part in GameBlast one year. I had never done a charity stream before, so I figured it’d be good to try it out. It was an awesome time, and I’ve been making sure to participate with SEGA whenever GameBlast starts up each year ever since!<\/p>\n

And thank you so much for taking part! Now that you\u2019ve run a few, what are your top tips for running a charity event?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Right off the bat – don’t worry about the amount you raise. The first year that I did GameBlast, I raised a bit over $1300. The next year, it was a little above $100. Both streams had plenty of people having a blast and enjoying themselves, and of course, I was happy doing things I enjoyed.<\/p>\n

Which brings me to my second tip, do stuff you have a passion for and can really enjoy – I’ve played plenty of games and played drums for charity, I’ve seen others make music, read books, or voice-act for charity. If you bring the passion to your project, it really shows in the finished product.<\/p>\n

Brilliant tips, we couldn\u2019t agree more! Thank you for your time AKLTrifecta, do you have any comments for the audience?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you so much for having me on this interview, and I look forward to many more charity streams and meeting plenty of new people in the future! Like I always say…”Stay Casual, and Stay Cool!”<\/p>\n
