ASMR is very personal, what one person finds to be not triggering is amazingly so for others, so someone banging on about it isn't ASMR is just silly really. I think that some of them 'talk' just to 'hear' themselves speak. As for your humour, you can be sarcastic sometimes, in the most subtle and brilliant of ways and it makes me smile. :)
Thank you very much Stephie, I agree, ASMR is a completely subjective and personal experience, there's something for everyone with all the variety, and that is how it should be IMO. Also, I am very appreciative anytime gets the sense of humor, ;)
Great video Michael. In regards to the negative comments, pay little attention. Your subbies are faithful until the end and love what you do for us. We love your stories and your opinions and for myself, your hauls are a form of ecstasy. Keep doing what you enjoy and follow your passions. We are grateful for the content!
Thank you so much Alex, I usually follow your advice and ignore the random hater that comes along since there are so many on the internet and youtube, and I am fortunate to have very few of them, but it always amazes me when they keep watching what they claim NOT to like just to do a thumbs down or comment, hey hey. Takes a certain type of mental patient, (or someone with absolutely no life), to keep repeating the same schtick, but that's ok, I am very fortunate to have such great subbies.
Your humour is great, the topics are interesting but relaxing, so after I've watched your video once, I can listen again and use it as a sleeping aid. Your videos are different to most ASMR and I like them because they're different. Your videos are spot on. Relaxing, interesting, keep it up and don't change it and thank you for the videos.
I absolutely love your asmr. And what is legitimate asmr anyway? Everyone likes different things and triggers. Please do the newspaper ramble soon...those are one of my favorite types of videos from you!! Hugs!💜
I love your asmr because at night it's almost like someone is having a conversation with me. Usually I am lonely and I don't really have friends, but I feel like you are my friend. Thank you so much. I honestly have nothing bad to say about your channel. It's already perfect.❤️❤️once again thank you
Thank you Cream Cheese, and I appreciate what you said because when I make these videos I am not 'acting' , I really am having a conversation with my viewers and being myself.
Mr.mike! Dont change anything about your videos!! Theyre all great man👍your voice is really comforting and your convo topics are always interesting.you Never seem to fail me whenever i need my quick dos of asmr👍
I genuinely just love your rambles, they're my favourite. But all your videos are so relaxing and easy to sleep to because your voice is naturally ASMRy if that makes sense haha
this is what I love about You Micheal, You do what works for You, and clearly works for so many others, and You stick to it! I Appreciate You alot, and the quality of Your videos is superb! I Wouldnt change the way You made this ASMR video in any way, the camera and the audio equipment is ON POINT
There’s not 1 asmr channel out there that I can watch every video ever posted except for yours. It’s simple yet absolutely perfect for me personally. I need something I’m interested in first and for most and something I can get lost in whilst listening to and before you know it I’m asleep. It’s a bit like how some people like falling asleep to a film they may like etc. You talk about interesting and engaging topics which allows my mind to dis engage from day to day life and chill out whilst lightly thinking about whatever topic the video may be on which in turn allows me to drift off. Thank you 🙏🏽
Your videos are my "go to" every single night to help me relax and settle down. My husband is in the hospital for a very long time and it's stressful. Your vids help me go to sleep! Thank you! Please keep up the good work!
This is the first video I’ve seen of yours but honestly ASMR videos that are just rambling and gum chewing are my favorite. They feel really natural and for whatever reason give me more tingles.
I love ramble asmr more than any other asmr. It feels more personal and it helps really well with anxiety. I've been watching your videos everyday and it helps me a lot. So thank you, Sir Soothing :)
Thanks Seth, and I agree, ramble soft spoken (and sometimes whispered), ASMR has been my primary favorite ASMR for a long time now. There are many really good ones out there I enjoy.
I highly enjoy your videos Michael, because I don't find those 'legitimate' Asmr videos enjoyable (my opinion of course) I find your content absolutely perfect for me and I hope you continue at it.
Thank you very much MR WJI, I will continue on, feeling very encouraged by all the support, and if I can make only one or two people more relaxed or help reduce stress, or help with a medical issue or anything, then I consider it worthwhile
Everybody has different ASMR they enjoy, and it can be challenging to find content that you like! I love your and Ann's style of video, they are intimate and interesting. There are hundreds of people making roleplay videos, which is great and that content exists for those who want it. Personally, I enjoy soft spoken, personal attention, rambling, hearing about other people's lives. Keep it up! You are one of my favorite channels, though I do miss the fireside chats ;)
Newish to ASMR. Previously only experienced the other sound trigger and role play videos. While they have their place, anybody can tap on a shampoo bottle. What you do is unique, calming, and more personal. At a crossroads with some personal relationship issues. In one of your videos you talked about your WSOP experience, and how when making deals you have to keep your best interest in mind. May not have seemed like much, but had a big impact on helping me work through some problems. Please keep doing what you do. Thank you.
Thank you Brian, so glad to be calming and helpful. Yes, in relationships too, so many couples end up getting angry and wanting to "win" in arguments and such, or in splitting up, so much so that they can become willing to come to harm themselves, financially, emotionally,and otherwise in order to make the point. It is good you were able to step back, keep perspective.
Michael, I love how you made a 30 minute ASMR video just taking the piss outta the folk that tried to pull you down with unwarranted negativity! Totally LOLd when you said ... maybe If I rubbed this feather on the 🎤 for an hour!! 😆 Your last few videos have had me asleep in 10 min! For someone with a sleep disorder.. when I’m struggling to go back to sleep I have a playlist of a handful of your videos and it works every time! Keep up the great work! Would love an outdoor walk video or maybe a video of the light house or the train bridge that you mentioned in the video during the tsunami air raid test.
Michael don’t change a thing!!! Love your videos with your subtle dry humor, gems of wisdom and wonderful triggers!!! The bubble comments are sooo funny! You have handled the stupid criticisms with poise and grace. The haters are truly empty headed. There is no ‘legitimate asmr’. Each of us has unique triggers.
I pop by now and again when you pop up on scorpioAnn I have never got tingles from you but your voice is so calming and reminds me of when I was a young child and my grandad would read stories in a really soft voice! certainly Gunna subscribe!
As others have said, everyone's ASMR preferences are different. You have my favorite voice of all, and I personally hate most role playing. My preferences are: counting, coloring, sorting (love your videos about different stones), makeup and nail polish rummaging (probably not your thing), looking at paint samples, tracing, typing, etc. I know lots of people like whispering, crinkling and eating, which I do not, but you know what? I can just view the videos I like and skip the ones I don't. I would never say what you are doing is not real when so many people love different things. Listen to people with positive ideas only.
One more thing, one thing I've noticed about your videos is the general lack of negative comments. You usually end up with a good number of "likes" and a small handful of "dislikes". That's a good sign. As they say, you can't please everyone all of the time
Keep making the videos that YOU want to make. The people that like you will continue to like you and the people that don’t can go find other videos that suit their ASMR preferences. I think your voice is soothing and you make me laugh so you’ll get no complaints here.
Please keep up the great videos, I along with numerous others really enjoy them, pay no attention to what someone who says what legitimate ASMR is because the fact of the matter is nobody actually knows. There is not enough research into the psychology of ASMR and as it is a "response", there is no main identifier as people respond differently to various situations. I have, however, just found out that a senior lecturer at the same University as myself, has conducted research with a student on ASMR. I intend to email him on his staff email address in the next few days to see if I can arrange a meeting to chat about ASMR and his findings. There is a Guardian newspaper article discussing his findings in little detail from January 2016 available (which I will not post in these comments without your express permission Michael, even though I am in no way associated with the research myself). Anyway, apologies for the long winded response, people like this really get my back up. Another excellent video.
Loved the way he said hubba bubba lmao, Don't let the criticism get you down. While yes it's true they are legitimate criticisms and may make your content better that doesent mean you have to conform to them. At the end of the day its your content and nothing can change that. Good luck man.
Hey, Michael! Long time watcher, first time commenting. Dude, I love the ever mother loving crap out of your content. I stumbled on you completely by accident--I think it was through your Pokemon content--and it's been a treasure trove. Whispering and speaking are my favorite parts of ASMR and I love that you actually discuss things instead of prattling on with stock phrases and platitudes. It's not as if I agree with everything you say, but it feels so comforting and enriching to feel the presence of another person with a rich, complex internal life, even if it doesn't overlap perfectly with my own. That's the whole point, isn't it? Please keep doing what you do, my friend. Also, if you ever find yourself in the mood to do more Pokemon content, I'll be over the moon. Best wishes to your folks!
Thank you so much Alexander, and I love that you are open minded and enjoy (as I do) ,points of view even when they differ from your own. How boring a world would it be if we all agreed on everything? Your comments and so many more here inspire me greatly.
I'll join the long list of folk who are saying this is redonkulous. I love your work and I wish there were much more 40 or 50 plus ASMR creators. I find you very interesting to listen to and it relaxes me whilst simultaneously engaging me, so thanks!
Please don't change your videos, Michael. I believe those of us who faithfully watch do so because your content is intelligent, humorous, educational and on and on. The feather brushing has its place, but so does gently speaking. Back in 2009, there was no acronym ASMR..it was called 'the whisper channels'. I have been a long time whisper lover. You are now my favorite.
I like your videos because they're NOT like the other ASMR videos. I prefer the soft speaking videos just talking about day-to-day things. So please don't change!
Thank you Paula, this is encouraging, I would rather have a smaller set of subbies like yourself who really appreciate these videos than a large following where I am doing something 'untrue' to my own personality.
We totally agree Alexsander, it is like music, there are 100's of thousands of songs across dozens of genres, so whatever people like is a subjective personal preference, but it is all still 'music'
Back in the day, pre 2010.. before there was a term 'ASMR' and hell.. even before people began talking about 'the unnamed feeling', I had a staggering collection of videos that I listened to on the regular [even recorded the audio to listen to on the subway as an mp3]. The triggers are real and come in many and various ways. The statement is nonsensical and is really just self indulgent. Most likely made by one who isn't affected. Ironically, of all the styles of videos out there, I find the 'role play' videos to be the biggest disappointment.. [probably more appropriately titled: 'make believe in my bedroom' MBMB.. lol. a new sub-genre] but to each their own. How I get the feeling from you Michael is simple for me, probably uncommon and unusual to some.. but it is why i am here.. I find your videos very comforting. Thanks for taking the time to make and post them.
Love that hat, wish my dumbass son Hank would of bought me one but ANYWAYS if your whispering to the point that makes me wanna sleep, I consider as a good ASMR right there
You certainly don't need me to say it, but the folks who follow you are here because you're doing you, plain and simple. Being genuine is always legitimate. Keep it going!
In many cases "ASMR" has become a front for narcissm where people awkwardly whisper and tap things with a greater focus on how they look. Yes everyone is triggered by different things but I believe this is some true legitiment ASMR Michael. For me it is the absolute best there is. The fishing tackle videos are my favourite. You should definitley do one every month.
Thank you very much Toober, and I agree with your assessment of many other types of ASMR. When I watch other ASM .I tend to watch content similar to what I am doing.
There's literally thousands of channels that do the same damn thing. Tap tap, scratch scratch. Nah. I like educational videos. Nice rambling videos. Map drawing videos (like asmrctica). You're right, why do people click on your videos if they don't like the genre. Strange
Michael? You took the words right out of my mouth! I've been looking to establish my own ASMR channel. Looking at my photo, one would think that is crazy but you should hear me brother. My approach was going to just be simple, like you! Anyway, please feel free to look me up on Facebook at Steven Anderson. My profile picture is of me giving my mentor bunny ears. Would be honored to speak with you further. Keep doing what you are, you've inspiried me to keep it real and simple.
I agree with what others have said. ASMR is subjective. I love your videos--you are in my top 3 ASMR artists. Thank you for what you do, Michael. Never mind the naysayers. As you said--they don't have to watch.
Iam 46 years old ,ive had asmr since 1st grade. .. Asmr is something that happens naturally, i could be in a store n the cashier could be chewing gum. That is a trigger for me,,things that happen NATURAL,,,IVE UN SUBBED FROM SO MANY.THIS CONSTANT repetitive nonsense is Out of control, people dont act that way ,normally Wats happening is dumb ass people r making requests to nonsense, ,n asmr artists do it,only to b laughed at Ive since found other channels like dollar tree hauls of people being normal n chewing thats" asmr" Angela bright shes amazing n very natural...shes being herself n her subbs r deff going up,,if u truly have asmr you'll appreciate her.. Good day michael soothing :)
The people that are saying this is bad this is good you guys are being mean you guys are saying that just so you can get credit stop trying to get attention
Also that is some dumb logic 😂 the beauty of ASMR is that its a free form kind of content that doesent conform to any preset standard. There are a million niches and this guy carved out his own fanbase.
ASMR is very personal, what one person finds to be not triggering is amazingly so for others, so someone banging on about it isn't ASMR is just silly really. I think that some of them 'talk' just to 'hear' themselves speak. As for your humour, you can be sarcastic sometimes, in the most subtle and brilliant of ways and it makes me smile. :)

Thank you so much Robin, I truly appreciate this comment and am inspired to continue on.
I absolutely love your asmr. And what is legitimate asmr anyway? Everyone likes different things and triggers. Please do the newspaper ramble soon...those are one of my favorite types of videos from you!! Hugs!💜
Thank you freya, newspaper ramble it shall be, within the next week.
Legitimate asmr isn’t about what you say or do, it’s about the feeling that you get when you listen to or watch the video
I love your asmr because at night it's almost like someone is having a conversation with me. Usually I am lonely and I don't really have friends, but I feel like you are my friend. Thank you so much. I honestly have nothing bad to say about your channel. It's already perfect.❤️❤️once again thank you
Thank you Cream Cheese, and I appreciate what you said because when I make these videos I am not 'acting' , I really am having a conversation with my viewers and being myself.
I love your humor!!! Thanks for sharing from this small channel youtuber!! Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much ASMR forMoms!
I love that weeeelllllll at the beginning. Your videos are amazing and you are one of the best ASMR channels out there
Thank you very much littleWolf, that is much appreciated!!!
Mr.mike! Dont change anything about your videos!! Theyre all great man👍your voice is really comforting and your convo topics are always interesting.you Never seem to fail me whenever i need my quick dos of asmr👍
OK, I will continue just doing what I enjoy authentically, thx Kevin!
I get more tingles from you just talking then i do asmristes doing anything
I genuinely just love your rambles, they're my favourite. But all your videos are so relaxing and easy to sleep to because your voice is naturally ASMRy if that makes sense haha
this is what I love about You Micheal, You do what works for You, and clearly works for so many others, and You stick to it! I Appreciate You alot, and the quality of Your videos is superb! I Wouldnt change the way You made this ASMR video in any way, the camera and the audio equipment is ON POINT

Thank you very much Jak, that is exactly what I hope for with doing ASMR videos, so I very much appreciate this feedback.
Your videos are my "go to" every single night to help me relax and settle down. My husband is in the hospital for a very long time and it's stressful. Your vids help me go to sleep! Thank you! Please keep up the good work!
I hope your husband will be OK moosicncritters, and thank you, and I am so glad these videos can help you de stress.
This is my favorite asmr channel! Keep doing what you’re doing! Gum chewing is the best!
Thx Nicolas, I will make more gum chew vids.
This is the first video I’ve seen of yours but honestly ASMR videos that are just rambling and gum chewing are my favorite. They feel really natural and for whatever reason give me more tingles.
Thx anxious, I have another one coming soon
Oh my god you are hilarious!! When you were talking about how easy it is to go up into the search bar and type "asmr role play", I died. LOVE IT!!
Thank you very much, I love to have some humor in the ASMR!
I love ramble asmr more than any other asmr. It feels more personal and it helps really well with anxiety. I've been watching your videos everyday and it helps me a lot. So thank you, Sir Soothing :)

I personally love all your videos. Especially when you just ramble while reading the paper and when you do haul vids. Keep it Up
Thx Jeremy, a paper reading ramble coming shortly
Just started watching your videos a few months ago. The videos are not only great but legitimate asmr. Thank you for making all them.
Thank you very much Austin Pacific! I want my videos to be authentic ASMR
Michael, I love how you made a 30 minute ASMR video just taking the piss outta the folk that tried to pull you down with unwarranted negativity! Totally LOLd when you said ... maybe If I rubbed this feather on the 🎤 for an hour!! 😆
Your last few videos have had me asleep in 10 min! For someone with a sleep disorder.. when I’m struggling to go back to sleep I have a playlist of a handful of your videos and it works every time!

You have handled the stupid criticisms with poise and grace. The haters are truly empty headed. There is no ‘legitimate asmr’. Each of us has unique triggers.
Have just subscribed. Love these vids. Your voice is very soothing and relaxing. And i enjoy listening. Greetings from england.
I pop by now and again when you pop up on scorpioAnn I have never got tingles from you but your voice is so calming and reminds me of when I was a young child and my grandad would read stories in a really soft voice! certainly Gunna subscribe!
Your videos are pretty much the only ones that still give me asmr these days! Role play videos do nothing for me whatsoever personally
Thx postman, I will just keep on doing my style that I enjoy then
As others have said, everyone's ASMR preferences are different. You have my favorite voice of all, and I personally hate most role playing. My preferences are: counting, coloring, sorting (love your videos about different stones), makeup and nail polish rummaging (probably not your thing), looking at paint samples, tracing, typing, etc. I know lots of people like whispering, crinkling and eating, which I do not, but you know what? I can just view the videos I like and skip the ones I don't. I would never say what you are doing is not real when so many people love different things. Listen to people with positive ideas only.
Hey, Michael, sorry I haven't commented in a while. Great video. Luckily you have a pretty good community and following.
Thanks Chargo, and I agree with you, I am blessed with so many great viewers, yourself included, all the way back to the Jodi dayz. :)
One of my fav asmr artists ever.. and i am watching this since 2012
Great vid. Nice to see all the supportive comments as well. The only expectations you need to meet are your own. Thanks and keep it up man!
TYVM charlesnaoya
One more thing, one thing I've noticed about your videos is the general lack of negative comments. You usually end up with a good number of "likes" and a small handful of "dislikes". That's a good sign. As they say, you can't please everyone all of the time
I enjoy your ASMR channel as well. You are doing a great job and getting better!!
Thanks craiger! I hope to continue to do more and add variety also
Keep making the videos that YOU want to make. The people that like you will continue to like you and the people that don’t can go find other videos that suit their ASMR preferences. I think your voice is soothing and you make me laugh so you’ll get no complaints here.
Great compliments and great advice, thank you YC Rhino!
Please keep up the great videos, I along with numerous others really enjoy them, pay no attention to what someone who says what legitimate ASMR is because the fact of the matter is nobody actually knows.
There is not enough research into the psychology of ASMR and as it is a "response", there is no main identifier as people respond differently to various situations.
I have, however, just found out that a senior lecturer at the same University as myself, has conducted research with a student on ASMR. I intend to email him on his staff email address in the next few days to see if I can arrange a meeting to chat about ASMR and his findings.
There is a Guardian newspaper article discussing his findings in little detail from January 2016 available (which I will not post in these comments without your express permission Michael, even though I am in no way associated with the research myself).
Anyway, apologies for the long winded response, people like this really get my back up. Another excellent video.
Loved the way he said hubba bubba lmao, Don't let the criticism get you down. While yes it's true they are legitimate criticisms and may make your content better that doesent mean you have to conform to them. At the end of the day its your content and nothing can change that. Good luck man.
Your videos are great! There is a reason why more people have subscribed to you recently. Keep it up!
Thx John, I did notice a bit of a spike in subs and that was encouraging.
no i hate those arms videos. your's are great and entertaining because its like having a conversation. wish i knew someone as genuine as you
Thx Kail, that is a wonderful compliment, and I hope you find someone to relax and converse with in future.
love the videos. Got a few good laughs from this video. Soft spoken asmr videos are my favorite.
Thank you Aaron, many more to come then,,,
At 2:54 the reason people do that is bc they want to feel power and put others below them
Hey, Michael! Long time watcher, first time commenting. Dude, I love the ever mother loving crap out of your content. I stumbled on you completely by accident--I think it was through your Pokemon content--and it's been a treasure trove. Whispering and speaking are my favorite parts of ASMR and I love that you actually discuss things instead of prattling on with stock phrases and platitudes.

That's the whole point, isn't it? Please keep doing what you do, my friend.
Also, if you ever find yourself in the mood to do more Pokemon content, I'll be over the moon. Best wishes to your folks!
Thank you so much Alexander, and I love that you are open minded and enjoy (as I do) ,points of view even when they differ from your own. How boring a world would it be if we all agreed on everything? Your comments and so many more here inspire me greatly.
I'll join the long list of folk who are saying this is redonkulous. I love your work and I wish there were much more 40 or 50 plus ASMR creators. I find you very interesting to listen to and it relaxes me whilst simultaneously engaging me, so thanks!
Thank you very much Garbhan!
Hooba booba made me giggle. In the UK we pronounce it huh-ba buh-ba. Love your videos x
Your asmr is top of the heap ;)
Here in italy celery is actually quite savoury: it's used with carrot and onion for the most common vegetable broth.
Please don't change your videos, Michael. I believe those of us who faithfully watch do so because your content is intelligent, humorous, educational and on and on. The feather brushing has its place, but so does gently speaking. Back in 2009, there was no acronym ASMR..it was called 'the whisper channels'. I have been a long time whisper lover. You are now my favorite.
I will keep doing what I enjoy and not change,m thx mstartine :)
I fall asleep to u voice most nights , u are awsome
I like your videos because they're NOT like the other ASMR videos. I prefer the soft speaking videos just talking about day-to-day things. So please don't change!
Thank you Paula, this is encouraging, I would rather have a smaller set of subbies like yourself who really appreciate these videos than a large following where I am doing something 'untrue' to my own personality.
ASMR is getting “tingles” it doesn’t have to be meditation or role plays like bruh ASMR can be lots of thingd
Things*
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️!!!! New and happy subscriber here! Thank you for your videos!
Welcome MEOW! Great to have you hear, thank you
I prefer your style of ASMR to the classic, played out, and unoriginal ASMR. keep up the great work!
Thank you Jon, I will keep doing what I enjoy then!
I have to agree with this.
Nonsense, "legitimate asmr" makes no sense. Everyone has different triggers and so therefore there is no one thing accepted by everyone. Nonsense
added to that, how is role play the only form of asmr? Talking as Michael isn't equal to talking as Michael "the doctor"?
We totally agree Alexsander, it is like music, there are 100's of thousands of songs across dozens of genres, so whatever people like is a subjective personal preference, but it is all still 'music'
the guy wanted videos of michael stroking objects or something
Back in the day, pre 2010.. before there was a term 'ASMR' and hell.. even before people began talking about 'the unnamed feeling', I had a staggering collection of videos that I listened to on the regular [even recorded the audio to listen to on the subway as an mp3].

Thanks for taking the time to make and post them.
Thank you Rnaut, this makes me feel very good about doing these, I want to be a source of comfort, relaxation, de-stress, et al
Love that hat, wish my dumbass son Hank would of bought me one but ANYWAYS if your whispering to the point that makes me wanna sleep, I consider as a good ASMR right there
Lol "hooba booba"
You certainly don't need me to say it, but the folks who follow you are here because you're doing you, plain and simple. Being genuine is always legitimate. Keep it going!
TYVM gasLamp, I appreciate hearing it.
“hooba booba”
Don't listen to the negative stuff, Keep doing what your doing, it's GREAT!
Your ASMR is infact ASMR lol. Your voice alone is perfect in defining important traits in an ASMR channel.
Thank you very much MaskedASMR, this is why I started it in the first place, I was told by people that my voice relaxed them.
In many cases "ASMR" has become a front for narcissm where people awkwardly whisper and tap things with a greater focus on how they look. Yes everyone is triggered by different things but I believe this is some true legitiment ASMR Michael. For me it is the absolute best there is. The fishing tackle videos are my favourite. You should definitley do one every month.
Thank you very much Toober, and I agree with your assessment of many other types of ASMR. When I watch other ASM .I tend to watch content similar to what I am doing.
Interesting...I like your videos.....it's asmr to me...‼️⭐️👍🏻😊
Do your own thing! That’s why I subscribed in the first place.
Your videos are ASMR ! That viewer needs to get over themselves .. you keep doing what you do , it’s very relaxing. 😎
Thank you very much Galaxy! I will keep making vids and it is so inspiring to get compliments like this.
There's literally thousands of channels that do the same damn thing. Tap tap, scratch scratch. Nah. I like educational videos. Nice rambling videos. Map drawing videos (like asmrctica). You're right, why do people click on your videos if they don't like the genre. Strange
Amen Gian!
Michael? You took the words right out of my mouth! I've been looking to establish my own ASMR channel. Looking at my photo, one would think that is crazy but you should hear me brother. My approach was going to just be simple, like you!
Anyway, please feel free to look me up on Facebook at Steven Anderson. My profile picture is of me giving my mentor bunny ears. Would be honored to speak with you further. Keep doing what you are, you've inspiried me to keep it real and simple.
for me it was a great video!! as always :))
greets from rainy and cold austria!
Greetings to Australia! (And to New Zealand also), :)
Don't listen to the haters Michael! You are great at what you do and I for one will continue watching and enjoying your content 😀
Maybe what you could do is setup the camera on a tripod and then do a voiceover for a fishing asmr video? I think that would be cool.
Personally I prefer this kind of ASMR way more than the rehearsed, traditional or popular style of ASMR.
Thx Heda, I am much the same in what I also watch.
I like the rambles honestly
I shall do more of them!
I forget to mention tahteebay shes amazing also:)
I agree with what others have said. ASMR is subjective. I love your videos--you are in my top 3 ASMR artists. Thank you for what you do, Michael. Never mind the naysayers. As you said--they don't have to watch.
And no, you don't need to do what everyone else is doing. People can watch them if that's what they want!
Thank you Donna, top three! That is a very appreciated compliment
I love your vids keep doing what your are doing
Thank you so much Reece, will do!
I love your Asmr still keep it up
Thanks Ben! I will keep doing them
I️ like your talking videos. Sure the haters, if they don’t like a video they don’t have to watch it
I love your videos!
Thank you Sarah, I will upload another one tomorrow.
Iam 46 years old ,ive had asmr since 1st grade. ..
Asmr is something that happens naturally, i could be in a store n the cashier could be chewing gum.
That is a trigger for me,,things that happen NATURAL,,,IVE UN SUBBED FROM SO MANY.THIS CONSTANT repetitive nonsense is
Out of control, people dont act that way ,normally
Wats happening is dumb ass people r making requests to nonsense, ,n asmr artists do it,only to b laughed at
Ive since found other channels like dollar tree hauls of people being normal n chewing thats" asmr"
Angela bright shes amazing n very natural...shes being herself n her subbs r deff going up,,if u truly have asmr you'll appreciate her..
Good day michael soothing :)
You are cool be yourself u don't need to be like others Asmr that is great to be unique
Hooba Booba lol
Dude you're amazing
Thx Justin,
He wanted to cuss you the fuck out, whoever commented on his shit with the bullshit. He just a nice dude. I would've wolfed out 😂
Be still equal to yourself. I love your asmr videos. I think only that you could improve the quality of the sound.
Thx alvaro, and I think I will try the blue yeti mic and see if it is better for the sound.
I don't like the " professional" asmr... I find it unnatural. I prefer asmr without high end mics and rambling.
The people that are saying this is bad this is good you guys are being mean you guys are saying that just so you can get credit stop trying to get attention
Whisper more still a good video good job 👍
Thx Mark, and I do plan more whisper vids in future.
Also that is some dumb logic 😂 the beauty of ASMR is that its a free form kind of content that doesent conform to any preset standard. There are a million niches and this guy carved out his own fanbase.

HOOBA BOOBA
