My favourite ASMRtists!

I haven't blogged for a while, so I was thinking what to write about next.

I would like to share with you my favourite ASMRtists.

Now, I am in the ASMR community since the beginning (2009). 

I have seen thousands and thousands of videos and I consider myself somehow a veteran in this field :P

And that is why I am very picky with the ASMR channels that I follow.

Here are my favourite ASMR channels, with no particular order.

~ GentleWhispering 

What we can say about Maria? She is the face, the ambassador of ASMR and she totally deserves it as she is so talented and aware of what works and what doesn't. From my point of view, her voice and her hand movements are her greatest assets. 

My favourite video of GentleWhispering is: Relaxing Physical Therapist Visit

~ Heather Feather

Heather is amazing! She has a great sense of humour and a wild creativity, which can be seen in her videos. I love Heather as she acknowledges other ASMRtists' work and supports them. From my point of view her greatest assets are her doctor role-plays and her whispering voice.

My favourite video of Heather Feather is: ASMR Eye Examination RP for Relaxation

~ WhispersRed

The motherly figure of ASMR. I absolute adore Emma's voice, accent and how hardworking she is. You can see it how dedicated and how much she loves making ASMR videos, and I really appreciate that. From my point of view her greatest assets are her calm demeanour (at all times) and soft voice. 

My favourite video of WhispersRed is: Relaxing Doctor Visit | Full Body Exam with Ear cleaning

~ MassageASMR

I believe Dmitri (if that is his name) is an expert in triggering ASMR. He know so well, how to control his voice, and how to make hand movements that will trigger your head. My favourite video of his is: ASMR Dr Dmitri Roleplay for Tired and Sore Eyes

~ asmrLoa

The only not-so-well known ASMRtist that I absolutely love. I strongly believe she knows how to trigger ASMR, and she really makes extraordinary roleplays. Her voice is a lot different than others, which is another asset of hers. My favourite video of asmrLoa is: ASMR Reiki Therapy Role-play

And that is it! 

What are your favourite channels and why?

Have a good day everyone!

Love, M.

Cutebunny in Mountain Olympus

Hello everyone!

For this blog post I wanted to share some photos of Mountain Olympus in Greece so you can picture it while watching my latest video -> https://youtu.be/HOP-593SLUw 

Some details from my latest video were inspired by actual experiences of mine (e.g. Olympian water from a hidden waterfall).

Back in 2011, while I was still living in Greece, I visited a beautiful hidden place in Mountain Olympus with some friends of mine. Here are some photos from my trip:

This was a hidden waterfall we found. You had to swim to reach it. It was so beautiful!

Green scenery in Mt Olympus. Can you spot me?

A humongous rock we found. There is a terrifying cliff behind it. 

Our camp site. 

 Not shot by me: The pointy peak on the left is the highest peak in whole Greece. It is called Mytikas and it 2917 meters high!

Not shot by me: This is Stefani (the Throne of Zeus). You have to walk 6-8 hours uphill to reach this.

I hope you enjoyed this blog post everyone! And my video too :)


See you soon

Love,

My microphone and camera setup

Hello everyone!

I hoped you liked my latest ASMR video: Nurse ASMR Role-play.

In this blog post I want to show you how I setup my microphone and camera.

I have said it numerous times that I am not very pro in these things.

It takes me about 15 minutes to setup all my equipment.

So here is the setup:

The only way I can make the heavy mic stay up!

So in case you are wondering what you are seeing let me explain:

The tripod is at my height level and on the top I have an iPad clamp (from Ebay)

I used to record with my iPad but now I have switched to an iPhone 6s which works fine with this clamp too. 

The microphone is the well known 3DIO FreeSpace Pro. You can cannot really see it in the photos but I have another clamp (in the shape of a peg that holds the mic with the tripod).

Because the mic is heavy and tilts forward, I use a hair elastic to hold it upright :) hehe

In my latest video I used my new lights. I bought a softbox :)

What do you think?

My first selfie to see how I look in front of the softbox (wearing my pjs).

I was so SO SO so happy when I received the softbox, as I always had issues with my lights. Thanks to all the people that support me on Patreon and all of you of course <3 

And because you are here, reading this blog, I am going to give you a hint for my upcoming video.

It is mostly targeted to the ladies. 

Love,

Marianne

My Summer Holidays

Hello everyone!

I hope you had a lovely time these holidays! 

A few days before New Year's Eve I went to the Gold Coast, AU.

Gold Coast is one of the most popular tourist destinations here in Australia. It is quite hot, it has lots of beautiful beaches and of course... big theme parks.

Here are some pics:

Thanks to a photo filter I got a tan :)

The view from the hotel: the ocean 

Me posing but looking a bit stiff :P

Seaworld

Surfers Paradise

My only chance to wear a hat 

I also went to MovieWorld (movie-themed park) and to Wet n' Wild (water park). My favourite place by far was the water park! I am still a child when it comes to these activities. 

This cake is called Vasilopita. I made it :) Vasilopita is a traditional Greek cake served at midnight on New Year's Eve to celebrate the life of Saint Basil. After baking the vasilopita, a coin is inserted through the base and when cut the person who finds the coin is said to be granted luck for the rest of the year! (Thank you Wiki)

I didn't win but that's ok! 

Thank you so much for reading this post. I hope you enjoyed it. Currently I have some relatives from Greece staying at my house, which makes it hard to record a video. Hopefully I can make one by the end of the month. I say it all the time but thank you so much for your patience.

Love, 

M.
