VTuber Audition Roundup: 31 Open Calls as of September 2026
Ten years after Kizuna AI's 2016 debut turned the market into a red ocean, agencies still run dozens of open calls, so the deciding question for aspirants is what they will do as a VTuber, not whether to become one.
Reporting from 1 source: MoguLive.
The September 2026 roundup collects 31 open VTuber and virtual talent auditions, from sports-focused Staga! and music label Ekolabo to ASOBISYSTEM's nationwide call and hololive. The article frames the market as a red ocean ten years after Kizuna AI's debut, with tens of thousands of VTubers, but notes major and mid-size agencies still recruit actively. It also weighs corporate affiliation against going independent, covering revenue splits, avatar rights, and support.
The roundup covers auditions open as of September 2026 and argues the deciding question for aspirants is what they will do as a VTuber, not whether to become one. Corporate affiliation buys early visibility, management, production and tax support, but the agency takes a share of revenue and the avatar may not leave with you on retirement. Going independent keeps all revenue and full control of the avatar, at the cost of self-funded equipment and building an audience from zero. The 31 calls below lead with Staga!'s baseball-focused search for women 18 and over, which closes September 6.
