I've been a lover of ASMR for years, even back when people had no idea what it was, or thought it was super weird. I'm just getting started on my ASMR content creation journey, but here's what I've learned so far…

The Best ASMR Creators
We all have to start somewhere, and the best place is to be a consumer. Get tucked into bed, and start your research.
Sassy Sounds is by far my favourite. She has revolutionized ASMR on TikTok as well as Livestream.

Goodnight Moon ASMR is so sweet. One of the first artists I listened to when I was getting into it. She does great roleplays and always has a bunch of props.
Goodnight Moon
Her lipgloss videos used to have me in a chokehold. She made me feel so safe when I went through some of the worst times.
Chynaunique ASMR
Did you know Trisha Paytas did ASMR? She is an OG Youtuber and will always have a place in my heart. While her ASMR channel is fairly new, at least in the last few years, her best ASMR videos happen to be in the 2010s, just randomly posted to blndsun...
Trisha Paytas ASMR
Dean ASMR is great. My favourite one was when she would brush her sister's hair. He also has a lot of super ridiculous, yet fun role plays.
Dean Asmr
Suchhhh an OG. Okay, maybe she isn't underated lol.
ASMR Darling
Lofi vibesssss. If you love lower quality, chill asmr, she's great. This is more of the style of asmr that I'm working with currently.
J ASMR ¨̮
She's so stunning. Has a variety of videos such as roleplays and cooking videos. Very slow and relaxed ASMR.
Gwen Gwiz Asmr
Her videos from when she was young are so funny and iconic. She is gorg and makes some very lowkey videos now.

Let's Start Filming
Filming can be overwhelming, so we can start small. Get the feel for it.
Decide which social media apps you would like to focus on. Tiktok is great because you can post shorter videos under a min if you like, or even up to ten minutes! You can also start casual with basic lighting and sound, light editing, etc.
TikTok
Youtube is also a wonderful way to start. You don't need anything fancy like a camera or microphone. If you want, start lofi (like me). Your phone does a great job. You can post videos of any length, and Youtube Shorts a min or less.
YouTube
For your Youtube videos, start easy with editing in imovie if you use Apple products! It's free.
iMovie - Official Apple Support
When you are editing on your phone, try the free version of Capcut! But, remember, you can edit within the TikTok app as well. Keep it simple.

An octobuddy is a great way to film. Stick it to the back of your phone and then to most surfaces. Off you go.

I just ordered my first mic. We'll see how this goes.

Consider using your laptop screen as a light. Turn off the rest of the lights in your room, and pull up a picture or video in a solid colour such as pink or purple. It works.

There are lots of options for lights that clip to your phone.
