>>1579560Thanks for the rec. I definitely feel you on the stuff getting knocked over. And it happens quite often too...
>what are the top 3-5 things that put you off during an ASMR stream1. Excessively harsh/loud ear picking. Not only does harsh scraping not immerse you in the experience, but it’s hard to get tingles from it.
I prefer a softer sound when it comes to ear picking.
2. Inconsistent voice volumes. I love whispering since the soft air really fills the ear. But then suddenly they start talking in a normal voice and I can’t fall asleep anymore. Even worse is when they don’t back away from the mic to do so.
3. Bad audio quality. This one seems obvious but there’s a surprising amount of ASMR with poor audio quality. Bad EQ, clipping, simply bad mic etc. Sometimes the audio sounds bad with good equipment too.
4. Harsh voices. Some voices are not good for ASMR... usually “fuller” or sometimes deeper voices are better at filling the space.
5 Not ASMR. Lastly, some vtubers upload “ASMR” but they aren’t even ASMR. it’s just quiet noises.
I actually really respect people with good ASMR technique. It seems quite easy to ruin the experience with careless mistakes.
And honestly I wish there was more ASMR of just whispering. Nothing beats the warm enveloping feeling of a nice whisper... ear picking and such can get distracting for me.
