- I am an ASMRtist.
- I'm an ASMRtist.
- I am an ASMRtist.
- I am an ASMRist.
- I am an ASMRtist.
(dramatic background tune trilling)
- Hi, friends.
This is Julie.
I see you're having a little trouble sleeping.
Yeah.
And I'll just start to trace your face.
Starting...
around your forehead.
Shut your eyes,...
so I can trace around, your eyes.
My channel focuses on nostalgic, childhood triggers,...
like, when the girl in back of class would...
play with your hair.
- I think I need to do a little touch up on my makeup
if you don't mind.
Sorry, this satin bag is just so big.
I have to really dig deep in there.
Most of my ASMR is...
dirty talking, role playing,...
and sometimes a couple trigger sounds.
Geeze, I can't believe your eyebrow hairs have gotten.
Do you mind if I just do a little snip?
(scissors snipping)
We just need to get those caterpillars.
- Today, we're gonna do a guided meditation.
So, we'll first start out by taking a deep breath.
Inhale...
exhale.
Great job.
I want you to think of,...
and imagine your favorite person in the world.
Sometimes, we wish we could say some things,...
but there are always words left unsaid.
(nails clicking)
(artist soft rapid muttering)
- I like fast and aggressive ASMR,
because it's, like, very intense.
Gives a lot of tingles.
(nails clicking)
Oh, I'm noticing that you might need a little hair cut.
(nails clicking)
So, I'm just going do your hair.
I'm just...
(distant nails clicking)
Trim, trim...
Just one more, just one more.
(Maddie imitating scissors snipping)
Okay.
We can also just give you a massage.
(stone rubbing)
Breathe deeply, tingle.
- It was really hard to relax hearing her do her ASMR,
and it just wasn't my style.
- Welcome, welcome, welcome.
And this is Sam's Bar Stool.
So, what brings you in today?
You're here for a drink, okay.
(fruit juice trickling)
So, how's your day been?
Your boyfriend broke up with you?
May I ask why?
What happened?
(liquid trickling)
Okay, you found him cheating with your best friend in bed.
That sucks.
Double homicide.
I like to have a sense of humor when I'm doing ASMR,
because my goal has always been to make people laugh.
That's why I prefer to do role plays.
And, I'm going to put some salt on the rim for ya.
(distant salt crackling)
- I brought one of my favorite triggers for today,...
which is...
this wood brush.
I've had my channel now for about two years.
So, I do a lot of real person hair play, back scratching...
This brush just makes the best sounds, I think.
- Okay, so you were sitting on your boyfriend's
stained futon, and then a cat scratched your eyes,
and you lost your sight.
Are you...
like can kinda see. Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry.
Well, I did bring some items to help you out.
I did bring these some ice cubes to like ice your eyes.
So,...
Um, hopefully, these, like, these ice cubes...
(ice rattling)
Will do something for your eyes.
And make...
Maybe make them feel a little bit better, but...
When I've like first discovered ASMR on social media
I was really obsessed with it.
And I used it more for, like, entertainment as well as
relaxation purposes, because there's a lot of, like,
role plays that are very entertaining, and funny.
I'm super sorry about your eye situation.
(ice cubes sloshing)
(googly eyes rattling)
I know, someone needs to call PETA on that cat.
(distant googly eyes rattling)
(ice cubes sloshing)
I hope you feel better.
(background bell ringing)
(relaxed background tune riffing)
(background dial slow clicking)
(background alarm buzzing)
- [Maddie] My ASMR was the most different out of
everybody else's.
So, I think for some people maybe that would just felt
like a dead giveaway.
- I voted for Maddie, because it was just killing my ears.
I'm not gonna lie, I was, I was about, I could feel my back,
like, tighten up.
- Super frantic, but that's also some people's ASMR style.
- It's like a fast and aggressive style,
but she just like took it way too far.
- What's everyone's preference here for ASMR?
- Super slow.
- Slow.
- Slow. - Slow.
- You should have maybe low vibe.
- Low vibe.
- Agreed.
I feel like Trevor and I have like something in common
with role plays.
(distant artists soft chuckling)
Because I like having a sense of humor when I do ASMR,...
- Same, totally - and laughing.
- Oh my God, y'all were so funny.
I was dying laughing with the googly eyes.
- Kevin, I have a question for you.
- Yeah?
- Do you only do guided meditation ASMR?
- No, I do guided meditations,
but I also do anime roll plays.
- Cool.
- Do you dress up?
- Um, I don't, I literally just put the screen over
with some artwork, so people can listen to my voice,
because my forte is my voice.
Yeah, so...
- It's very soothing.
- Do you not show your face on your channel?
- [Kevin] I show my face for the guided meditations.
- So, when he was talking about how he uses anime stuff,
he was kind of, like, stuttering.
Okay, why don't you dress up for your videos?
- Yeah.
- Honestly, it's, it's a new vulnerable endeavor.
Like, you'd have to learn how to cosplay,
and it's definitely in my aspirations.
But for now I just want viewers to really love...
the essence of my voice.
- [Maddie] Yeah.
- Okay.
- Amazon got costumes.
(distant Kevin soft chuckling)
- I feel like if you have the personality,
you can easily replicate that.
- [Artist] True.
- So, I guess that was my thought process.
(background bell ringing)
(background egg shaker rattling)
- I felt like his guided meditation was a bit entry level.
Almost like he just watched a little snippet of
Mind to Body, or something.
(relaxed background tune riffing)
(background alarm buzzing)
- Y'all made a mistake.
(artists soft chuckling)
- Okay, dead ask, who voted for me?
Anybody?
- I voted for you.
I didn't hear Aedon talk that much after.
- I see.
- If I'm being honest, um, I wasn't very, like,
impressed with your performance.
- Who are you talking to?
- Ouch.
- Are you talking to, are you talking to me?
- I'm talking to Katie.
- Oh, the airbrush.
- Yeah, hairbrush.
- Not the caterpillar eyebrows?
- Um, no.
- Oh, damn.
That sucks, Katie.
- Okay, but it's fine, I'm not that offended.
I think somebody that is attracted to a trigger,
like doing a role play, kind of fast paced skit,
wouldn't necessarily respond to something that I do.
So, I don't take offense to it.
I just think it's like everyone's personal opinion
about what they like for ASMR.
- Julie what, like what do you do for, like, ASMR?
Like, what content styles do you create?
- My specialty is back scratching, and hair brushing,
and face tracing, like nostalgic, childhood triggers.
- What about you Katie?
- I do back scratch share, hair play, mostly,
and then, like, I do some other kind of triggers as well.
I think she was following Julie the way she would just say
same right behind her.
It almost felt like it was disingenuous.
I'm a streamer, but I'm an adult streamer on my free cams.
So, at first it was just more like a role play dirty talk.
And then, because I just got the Yeti at that time
I decided to whisper into it,
and then it just kinda took off from there.
- Are you on YouTube as well?
- I do have some YouTube videos, yes.
- Do you do TikTok.
- I do, do TikToks as well, yes.
But on OnlyFans it's very, like, open.
I can be more myself there.
- Okay.
- Are your YouTube videos monetized, or do you get...
- Those are just more for exposure.
- [Julie] Okay.
So, you don't make money off of YouTube?
- I don't
- [Julie] Okay.
(background bell ringing)
(background dial clicking)
- [Aedon] So, I knew she voted for me in one of the rounds,
and I just needed to get her off as soon as possible.
(background alarm buzzing)
- What?
- Later, gator.
- Sorry, girl.
- [Show Host] If you think that the mole is
still in the box, and you wish to continue playing the game,
please, raise your hand.
If the lights turn green,
that means you voted the mole out, and you win.
If the lights turn red,
that means the mole is still in the box, and you lose.
(suspenseful background tune riffing)
(background artists ethereal vocalizing)
- Yes, yes.
- Good job, everyone.
- [Show Host] On the count of three,
please remove your blindfolds.
One, two, three...
- See some familiar faces.
- Yes, yes, familiar faces.
- [Show Host] On the count of three,
will the mole please raise their hand?
One, two, three..
- [Show Host] You guys are nodding, what gave it away?
- I felt like the guided meditation is kind of entry level
when it comes to ASMR.
- Also, you were like the only one without a prop too.
So,...
Like, you didn't come prepared, I feel like.
- You do have a really good voice though.
- Like, it's awesome.
- You really should get into it.
- Thank you so much.
I love acting, and putting myself into different roles.
So, this was a really good challenge for me to be on camera,
and to work under pressure.
- It's really cool though,
'cause I feel like usually in real life,
like when you tell people about ASMR, they're like, "What?"
- Yeah.
- But it's nice being around people that also do understand.
- It's time to open the case full of money.
- Let's open this up.
(nails drumming)
(nails scratching)
(case unlatching)
- Lots of money...
(paper bills rustling)
