Brave group’s next-generation content label “BEverse” launched a new VTuber audition, “BEYOND VTuber Audition 2026,” on June 19, 2026 (Fri), opening applications via its official LINE account. The audition is seeking one new talent, and the successful applicant will not only debut as a VTuber but also be offered the chance to perform as a voice actor in an anime work scheduled for terrestrial broadcast and worldwide streaming.

About “BEYOND VTuber Audition 2026”

This audition is a new initiative that combines activity as a VTuber with the chance to take on anime voice acting. No prior streaming or voice-acting experience is required; anyone with a passion for voice and expression and the will to stay active over the medium to long term can apply, even without experience. Since showing your face is not required, you can pursue avatar-based activities that make the most of your own style of expression.

After a preparation period, the successful applicant is scheduled to debut as a VTuber. Centered on VTuber activities, a multifaceted rollout is planned across anime, music, live performances, goods, and more.

How to Apply and the Selection Process

Applications are accepted via the official LINE account. After adding the account as a friend, applicants follow the instructions to enter the required information and submit two application videos. These are a self-introduction + scripted line-reading video (approx. 2 min) reading a designated script, and a self-PR video (1–2 min) recording a talent of your choice such as singing, voice, or free talk.

Application videos may be filmed on a smartphone or similar device, and editing is not required. The application deadline is July 25, 2026 (Sat), but it may close earlier depending on the number of applications. Those confident in their voice, singing, acting, or talk, as well as those with streaming experience, are listed as preferred.

Operated by BEverse and Global Growth

BEverse is Brave group’s next-generation content label, engaged in IP content development, the discovery and development of creators, and marketing production. To date, it has planned and produced immersive content such as the Roblox original title “Aooni Nightmare,” the Fortnite original title “Forest of Fear -Liar In The Dark-,” and the VTuber project “GΔ59” by “Tokyo Kasou.”

This audition is jointly operated by two companies, with cooperation from Global Growth Inc. (GGTK), which has a track record in TikTok live commerce and live creator management. GGTK has surpassed a cumulative total of 25 billion yen in gifting on TikTok LIVE and currently has more than 5,500 creators affiliated in Japan.

Looking Ahead

Being able to secure activity time from October 2026 onward is one of the application requirements, and the successful applicant is expected to make their VTuber debut after a preparation period. After debut, a multifaceted rollout across anime, music, live performances, and goods is planned, with activities to be determined in consultation with the successful applicant.

Impressions and Outlook

By presenting two stages at once — a VTuber debut and anime voice acting — this audition stands out for connecting “virtual activity” with “anime for terrestrial broadcast and worldwide streaming.” The wide entry point, requiring no face reveal and welcoming those without experience, has the potential to unearth talent that has not yet been able to take that first step. With Brave group’s global reach combined with GGTK’s development know-how built up on TikTok LIVE, it will be worth watching what kind of stage the successful applicant takes flight to after debut.
