While many different sounds and visual stimuli can induce ASMR, whispering remains one of the most popular and effective triggers. But what makes whispering so captivating in this context?

Back during the first iteration of my website I had a few posts titled ASMR Origins where I asked ASMR YouTubers if they would kindly explain their first experiences of ASMR.

One who kindly replied was SouthernGalWhisper

Here we have a Japanese role play video from ThePeacefulWhisperASMR. In this video she talks you through the Katakana alphabet.

This was a video I used to watch years ago, it is over 8 years old. Lucky for us, is that ThePeacefulWhisperASMR is still regularly uploading videos.

I’m back again with another old ASMR channel which I watched a lot of many years ago. This is ASMRrequests.

The video I will feature below is a great face brushing video which is sure to induce tingles.

Carrying on with the old ASMR video theme I wanted to highlight another channel which I loved to watch all those years ago.

The channel in question is SoftSoundWhispers. There are lots of brushing videos on the channel as well as cooking, drawing, whispering, hand massage, foot massage and many more.

Another channel that I used to watch a lot around 2012 was Sweetseductiveasmr. There has been no videos added in four years but I remember this being one of the big channels back then and I always came back to re watch the videos.

I first started watching ASMR videos around 2010 or 2011, once I found out that the tingle feeling that I got when I watched certain activities had a name attributed to it…ASMR!

I used to watch some great content creators back then and on this blog I will look to highlight some of the old channels I used to avidly watch, whom for one reason or another do not post videos anymore.

Latex seems to be a very popular trigger for ASMR. The most popular videos seem to stem around latex gloves. The attraction is around the sounds that the gloves can make, especially the squeaky ones.
