MSH:  I was poking around YouTube last night and found another person doing ASMR videos by the name of HeatherFeather.  You might want to check her out too.

Visual stimulus -- I've been hit with the effect looking at particularly awesome (Happened more than once when I was up in north carolina -- mountains are incredible to a swamp dweller) scenery, ferex. There's also just... imagination or whatev'. I'll hit it from time to time with particularly moving or impressive scenes in writing, when I let myself really sink in to the scenario. Annnd meditation, at least in my experience, though it did take like 5+ years before that started kicking (and over a decade before it got particularly strong) in regarding the tinglies.

Though physical contact doesn't necessarily have to be with people or somethin'. If I'm in the right mood and the air is right, it's pretty easy to trigger off the simple movement of air. S'hard to put in words, but you sorta' have to embrace the sensation -- really feel it, very attentively, and sort of sink yourself into it on a mental level. Embrace it, almost internalize it, and feel. It's a very particular cognitive state, heh. And once you've done that, the charge comes, and you can expand the process to that and it (eventually, after much practice) ends up feeling like every hair on your body is standing up. S'great~

I get this all the time, to the point that I'm surprised there are people that don't. It could be a lot of environmental stuff, like Frumple's air, but I usually get it from music, mostly electronic (particularly really good glitchy stuff) and classical, certain singers like Eva Cassidy, Billie Holiday, Bobby McFerrin... It's almost a texture that certain sounds have - I've noticed it has to have a stereo component. Woodwinds and brass, cello, and buzzy overmodulated synths are what work the best, and all have that component of whisper to their voice. I also have very strong misophonia from certain cues, so maybe there's some sort of link there? Edit: Still voted 'fucking weird'

Heard about this a while back. Doesn't work for me.

For people who get an ASMR experience from listening to whispering, does it also happen when you listen to whispery music? Is it the vocalization in, for example, the sound of silence, that kills it for you if that's not the case?

Meaning, if someone actually produced whisper-music would it still work?

Eh. Pretty sure I've never felt anything that could be described as ASMR in my life, excluding the weird tingly scalp-massage-ey feeling that I can get on command.
Yes I realize that sounds like ASMR shut up

But I'm going to look up these videos anyways just in case.
