The application period runs through August 31, 2026. Each talent will primarily stream solo but will also regularly collaborate as a unit. Applicants must be women aged 18 or older, able to stream at least three times a week continuously, and able to continue activities for at least one year. They must not be affiliated with any other agency. Successful candidates receive a minimum guarantee of 150,000 yen per month plus sales incentives, along with original model production, streaming equipment loans, training such as voice training, and dedicated management. Media mix development including merchandise and music production is also planned. The selection process consists of three stages: document/voice screening, online interview, and final interview. Separately, on the same day, MissionTime Inc. opened the REPLAY LIVE 3rd Generation Audition, a larger-scale general VTuber recruitment with no experience required. Both auditions close on August 31.","whyItMatters":"ALTER PRODUCTION's audition narrows its recruitment to a specific content niche-passionate manga discussion-rather than seeking general VTuber talent, signaling a strategy of building specialized micro-communities within the agency.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eZero Advance Inc., based in Toshima-ku, Tokyo, operates ALTER PRODUCTION as a specialized VTuber agency where each talent has their own area of expertise.
