Early Access Role Play!
Added 2022-01-13 15:29:07 +0000 UTCHey y'all!
I'm so happy to be getting a video to you! This is a nice long one, and I'm happy with how it turned out. I think that something about it feels very "classic ASMR role play", like they used to make in the olden days of ASMR content creation (so, 2013–2014 maybe). What do you think?
I'll be publishing this later today on my main channel, but wanted to get it to y'all first. I hope you enjoy it! There are patron credits at the end.
Please know that I am *SO* thankful for all of you, now more than ever. It's been a difficult few weeks with my health, and the beginning of the year is always a rough time for ad revenue on YouTube (every year my YT revenue drops about 60% in January). Your support here is often the difference that allows me to work at a pace that feels reasonably healthy, rather than pushing myself through a whole bunch of stressful, sleepless working nights every month. It means so much to me and my family, thank you!
Love,
JB

That makes me really happy, thank you for letting me know. I put a lot of care into this one, so knowing that people are especially enjoying it is great. Sometimes it can be easy to tend toward making the types of videos that get the most views, so comments like this are a good reminder why I like making certain other types of videos despite them not always being the most popular.

2022-02-21 06:31:52 +0000 UTCYou really should! (If you want 😀) I also discovered it through guided meditations and was happy when they put a name to it. I know it’s mainly about the role plays these days but the guided talks have always been my first, best source for that feeling.

2022-01-24 16:54:50 +0000 UTCThank you so much! I was really happy with this one, so your thoughtful feedback means a lot. Lately I’ve been trying to reconnect with the ASMR content that I loved most when I first started watching it—a lot of stuff from 2012–2014ish. There’s a special quality to those earlier role plays that I don’t see as much in ASMR videos today, and I’d really like to help keep it alive in my videos.

2022-01-23 23:55:30 +0000 UTCThank you! I should do more guided relaxations. I love them, and that’s what I used to listen to for years and years before discovering ASMR content on YouTube.

2022-01-23 23:50:49 +0000 UTCI think this is one of the best videos you've ever done, to be honest. It has your genuine compassion, the lower-fidelity (mainly, natural white-noise) sound from your earliest videos; it has the soft-spokenness where your soft voice hits a resonance frequency; it has a variety of trigger sounds; it has a coherent narrative theme for over an hour; and it has really great variety in the time between triggers/sound and ambient white noise. Really combining all your best ASMR qualities into a singular video, simply superb.
