Frequently Asked Questions

Melodious LLC was founded in May 2026 by AkiraMelodie and is managed by Roman. We're a small, talent-first VTuber agency based in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Small, intentionally. We'd rather have one talent who's a great fit than five who aren't. We're early-stage and being upfront about it; if you join now, you'd be joining a growing roster with direct access to leadership.

We're a management agency, not a content factory. Talents keep 100% of their platform earnings (Twitch subs, YouTube revenue, donations). We only earn when we earn alongside you: on sponsorships, brand deals, merch, and other commercial work we help bring in or process.

• Brand deals we bring you: you keep 70%, we keep 30%
• Brand deals you bring us (with our approval): you keep 85%, we keep 15%
• Merch through our channels (after production cost): you keep 70%, we keep 30%
• Voice acting, cons, guest appearances booked through us: you keep 70%, we keep 30%

These are defaults. Talents with established audiences can negotiate different splits in writing before signing.

• All your platform earnings: subs, bits, channel memberships, gift subs, ad revenue, Super Chats
• Viewer donations and tips
• Anything you do under a different name unrelated to your VTuber persona
• Anything that doesn't use your persona's name or likeness
• Fan art you commission for yourself
• Gifts from fans
• Freelance work you secure on your own

If a brand approaches you directly, you have to let us know in writing (so we can confirm whether revenue share applies), but you're not obligated to involve us in the deal.

For revenue we receive directly, we pay you on the 1st of every month, covering the prior month's earnings. Each payment comes with a detailed statement.

For revenue that comes to your accounts (talent-sourced sponsorships paid to you), you remit our share by the 15th of the following month.

Net revenue is what's left after platform fees and payment processor fees (Stripe, PayPal, etc.) come off the top. For merch, production and fulfillment costs come off first too. We split what's left.

No. There's no fee to apply, no fee to sign, and no minimum spend required.

The default initial term is six months, then it renews month-to-month. We can negotiate a different starting length in writing before signing.

Two weeks' written notice, any reason or no reason, no penalty.

Either side can terminate without notice if the other side materially breaches the contract and doesn't fix it within 7 days, engages in illegal activity, harasses or doxxes someone, or shuts down operations. Otherwise it's the standard 14-day notice for both of us.

You keep everything you own. Your persona name, design, lore, channels, content, community: all yours. The only exception is specific production files we paid for (model files, rigging, alt outfits, etc.), which we own until you reimburse us at original cost. You can buy any of them out anytime, in a lump sum or a payment plan.

For six months after you leave, we still collect our share on revenue from specific pieces of content we materially helped produce (editing, thumbnail design, SEO, documented creative direction). This only applies to commercial revenue from that content (sponsorships baked into it, merch tied to it). Your platform revenue from those same videos stays 100% yours during the tail period. After six months, everything reverts fully to you.

You can't have another VTuber agency while you're with us. You can still:

• Join informal friend groups and creator collectives
• Collab with other VTubers (in or out of agencies)
• Stream under a separate pseudonym that's not tied to your persona

1. Apply through our application form
2. Review by Roman and AkiraMelodie (typically 2-4 weeks)
3. Interview with both of us
4. Contract discussion if both sides want to move forward
5. Onboarding once signed

You'll hear back either way; we don't ghost applicants.

• 18 or older
• Located anywhere in the world (timezone flexibility is on us)
• Any language; our team speaks English, some Japanese, and some Bulgarian
• Pre-debut, debuted, or established talents all welcome
• Streamers, VTubers, content creators using a virtual persona

No. We accept pre-debut and small creators. Pre-debut applicants are responsible for their own models unless we negotiate something different during contract talks.

A PC capable of streaming or recording reliably. We help with the rest of the stream setup once you join.

Yes. You can keep your existing brand, model, channel, and community. We rebrand only if you want to be rebranded.

The most common reasons:

• Pattern of internet drama or public callouts
• Oversharing personal information publicly in a way that creates legal risk for the agency
• The fit isn't right for our current roster size or focus

Yes, after one month.

Almost anything. You have full creative discretion over your content. The only limits in the contract are:

• No illegal activity
• No harassment, doxxing, or threats
• No knowingly violating platform Terms of Service
• No disclosing other Melodious talents' real identities without consent

Yes.

No. You pick the games, topics, schedule, and platforms. We don't pre-approve or censor your content.

No. Either side can propose a sponsorship, and either side can veto one. You're never required to take a deal you don't want.

No. We don't impose a minimum schedule. We'll be honest with you though: consistency drives growth, so we'll encourage it during quarterly check-ins.

The manager is the only public-facing person at the agency. Talents' legal names never appear on publicly facing documents. Our identity protection obligation continues indefinitely, even after you leave the agency.

We have a documented response plan. We'll work with you to file police reports where appropriate, engage cybersecurity professionals, tighten your accounts and network, and escalate to legal counsel if needed. The plan is part of the "Bad Day Protocol" we provide as a standard service.

Only read-only analytics access on platforms where we share revenue. We don't have your passwords, we can't post on your behalf, and we don't control your channels.

Core services (every talent):

• Personal website, built and hosted by us
• Full stream setup (OBS, Live2D tracking, audio, alerts, overlays)
• Access to ResonaMAT, our multi-platform analytics dashboard
• Professional Discord server with custom bot
• Brand partnership outreach
• Identity privacy and cybersecurity infrastructure

Additional services as needed:

• Calendar automation
• Merch store setup
• Las Vegas convention support
• Identity compartmentalization toolkit
• "Bad Day Protocol" for hate raids, harassment, etc.
• Quarterly career check-ins
• Freelance vendor connections (riggers, editors, artists)
• Bookkeeping guidance and tax referrals
• IP guidance and attorney referrals

Full list is on our Services page.

No. We're not lawyers, CPAs, or medical providers. We share general information and refer you to qualified professionals for anything serious.

Two weeks' written notice triggers structured offboarding. We hand off any agency-managed accounts, transfer in-flight sponsorships back to you, and provide a list of any tail-revenue content. Your final revenue share gets paid on the next regular payment date.

Talk to us. We're a small agency and our door tends to stay open for former talents, depending on circumstances.

Your community, content, and accounts are yours. Agency-built infrastructure (the website we host, the custom Discord bot) is something we'd discuss case-by-case at offboarding. In most cases, we'll work with you to transition you to a setup you can maintain yourself.
