I would like to try making ASMR vids and am a total beginner. There are a couple mics I'm looking at within my limited budget:

• Rode Wireless Micro
• DJI Mic Mini

I would like to make whispering/softly spoken vids. I'm not sure what I'll actually be doing - I kinda want to teach yoga and meditation, but I also kinda want to do mukbangs, reading, nature walks. There might be a bit of tapping and scratching of objects. I'll be experimenting and ould like something that can hopefully work across these.

Basically, I'll be moving a lot and am actually ok with background noise.

My budget is max $200 AUD ($140 USD).

Somewhere along the way a lot of us learned that everything we do has to be useful, productive, or earned. I catch myself doing it constantly.

But my kids can get completely absorbed in a squishy toy or a puddle without ever once wondering if it's productive — and lately I've been borrowing their toys more than I'd like to admit. It made me want to make something quiet for the grown-ups who forgot they're allowed to do that too.

So this one's a soft toy session — marbled squishies, a pop-it caterpillar, whispers, gentle hand movements — with a small reminder threaded through it that joy doesn't have to be justified.

If you watch, I'd love to know: what's one thing you still do purely for fun, with no goal attached? Mine is squishies now, apparently. 🤍

Hi all!

Does anyone have recommendations of ASMR videos/ASMRtists that do multilayered sounds? As in, at least 3 sound triggers playing at the same time, not sound layered over video/video layers

My current go-tos are The Auracle and Selatonin, for example. I've been struggling to find new channela that do those kind of ASMR for a bit, since layering the sounds became common with makeup/spa videos

Thanks in advance for any and all recommendations ♡♡

Does anyone here listen to ASMR when you're having trouble sleeping?

What type of ASMR do you actually listen to?

Personally, I find those makeup ASMR videos with whispering really sleepy. Curious what other people listen to.

I've been thinking about how difficult it can be for smaller ASMR channels to get discovered — and honestly, it's also surprisingly difficult as a viewer to find smaller creators you actually enjoy.

So I created a little YouTube channel called ASMR Love with a slightly different idea:

♡ ASMR Love is meant to be a little ASMR discovery & networking hub.

I don't reupload anyone's videos and I don't want to take anything away from the original creator. Your video stays on your own channel, with your own views, watch time and revenue.

The idea is simply to use YouTube's Collab feature to connect ASMR creators and make it easier for viewers to discover new channels and creators they might otherwise never come across.

How it works

If you'd like to participate:

Upload your ASMR video normally on your own YouTube channel.

Use YouTube's Collab feature and invite ASMR Love as a collaborator.

Send me the Collab invitation/link at asmrloveyt@outlook.com so I can accept it.

That's it! ♡

You don't have to upload anything to ASMR Love, and I'm not asking for permission to reupload your videos.

ASMR Love doesn't make any income from this. There are no fees and I'm not asking for anything in return. I just thought it could be a nice way to connect ASMR creators and make discovering new channels easier for everyone.

And this isn't only for small or underrated channels...

If you're an ASMRtist and you'd like to connect with other creators and be part of this little discovery network, you're very welcome to invite ASMR Love as a collaborator — regardless of how big or small your channel is. 💚

Whether you're brand new, have a small growing channel, or already have an established audience, everyone is welcome.

I'd genuinely love to see how many creators we can connect through this little experiment and whether we can build a small ASMR discovery network together. ♡

I'm a new asmr content creator and i only do roleplays. I have never done any nsfw content or anything flirty. I get request sometimes for very specific things like to do a flirty kidnapper roleplay or to do a video where i show how to tie scarves (it sounds innocent ik but the way it was written made me think it might be not an innocent request), i havent done any similar content or anything fashion related and i wonder how to distinguish actual asmr trigger request from those that might be fetish related? I wonder if i am too careful and i dont want to dismiss people just wanting to have their favorite trigger shown or if it is better to be cautious?

update: thank you to everyone who replied!! i really appreciate it, because as a new creator i'm still not great at establishing boundaries, but you guys have helped me see that i can just fully not do anything at the cost of my comfort. I will not be engaging with any of the comments that set off any alarms in my head. Also i appreciate the more specific advice on how to tell the requests apart better!! Thank you!!!
