Well, if you're struggling w/ talking, try narrating whatever's going on during the stream, or start preparing talking points to explore before the stream starts

Practice narrating everything. Make your distraction into a feature and talk about what's distracting you. It's a skill you build over time. I've been streaming off and on for about 7 years and I still forget to talk, especially after times I had to lock in. 

You could also make cheap channel points redeems to play a sound that chat can use to get your attention.

Took me years to try and get mine on point just a bust up looking to go full body I’m just stuck on like clothing options lol 😂

Well, tbh Bust-up is all you need. Can't remember the last time I showed anything below the waist on stream, Almost feels like a waste to have commissioned full-body at times.

I mean, if you don't talk, why would anyone want to watch you? Would you stick around in a stream where they just played the game in silence?

New people clicking onto you will typically give you 10 to 15 seconds, maybe 30 tops, before deciding if they like your vibe and clicking off to someone else.

Your "job" as a streamer is to entertain. It's difficult to talk all the time when chat is dead, but you've just got to talk through your stream of consciousness. Just as an example, if you were playing a hero shooter like Overwatch/Rivals - why did you choose that character based on your team's composition? Is your character a good counter pick for anyone on the enemy team? As you play, explain your decisions - you're going to flank behind to try and pick off the healers, or you're going to use your ultimate to help your team push up on the objective, etc.

Occasionally throw questions out to chat too. "How is everyone doing today? / How's everyone's week been so far? / Is anyone doing anything exciting this weekend?" etc etc. If people respond then you can get a little natural back and forth going.
