    Hi everyone!
    In this video, I'm focusing on one of my favourite triggers: ear cupping (though I call it hearing block because I didn't know the proper term for it). You will hear me ramble rather close to the microphone as I play with it to make some relaxing sounds for you. This trigger reminds me of having my head underwater as I take a bath, which is a really soothing sensation.
    The triggers you will encounter in this video are: soft-spoken and close up whispered rambling, words repetition, breathing sounds, microphone touching and the "hearing block" (ear cupping) trigger.
    Earlier this year, I've already done a video focused on this trigger. You can find it here: • ASMR - Favorite Trigge...

    Ooh, we're going under the sea today, I'm excited! Aside from the new sounds and different setup, which are really interesting themselves, I like how you're also experimenting with your eye makeup. The "reverse cat eye" thing you did for your Halloween video and the white framing liner you have on now look really cool.
    Edit: I honestly have no opinion on the microphone, I'm fine either way. I know that's not a very helpful thing to say, but as long as the sound quality is good I frankly don't mind seeing the mic.

I have quite good headphones, and to give honest and useful feedback, I would have not noticed any change in audio quality even after you mentioned the new equipment, I am sure it is because the quality of your work has been good enough already before to be hard to gain a notcable leap. Others may disagree, this is only my opinion and experience.

    I think this is the first time I clearly heard the low rumbling...it's a whole different experience. And the white noise is nearly inaudible. This is really a technically wonderfully produced video. Plus there's that moment of pure ASMR joy in your face around 7:15 or so. And I definitely want to hear the sounds of you crushing the mic wind screen! This might sound really weird, but I think of your channel as a big toy chest one might have as a child. You open it up, and regardless of which toy you reach for, it's always somewhat better than your expectations.
    BTW, what happened at 15:06? Something Maddy related, I assume?

  • @hrdcpy
    @hrdcpy 4 года назад +1

    Love this sound. Can you physiologically produce a similar vibration sound in your ear/head? More difficult to explain how to than ASMR. Closing your eyes, force a reaction as if there is water in your ear and you need to "pop" you ears from pressure buildup.

    This was relaxing and soothing to listen to. it was like we were on a underwater adventure with you.
    I imagine you must enjoying swimming underwater when you're in a swimming pool?

    I love this type of sound! Personally I think the seeing the microphone ruins the ambiance, I prefer to have it hidden.

    13:50 I prefer not to see the microphone, it makes it more immersive I think but I don't know why
