This week I wondered if the fact that ASMR fans get ASMR feelings meant that they were more susceptible to other feelings than average. Sadly, it would seem the work has not been done. I did find that people high on the neuroticism scale are more likely to be able to feel ASMR. Not only that, but if you are high on the neuroticism scale and you can feel ASMR symptoms that ASMR might be effective in reducing some of the symptoms.
So, I am going to take that as a positive.
You must be overdue another review of ASMR.
For a long time now, I have been trying to find material that is not on YouTube on the assumption that readers of this blog also get distracted (not to say annoyed) by the choice of adverts that YouTube choose to insert between (or sometimes during) relaxing videos. (Read, loud, energetic and sleep-disturbing).
During lock down I did listen to the odd track by Ghylian Bell. Ghylian, of course, has her own YouTube channel (not exactly helpful in finding a source of non-You-tube material). I did find one on the mindful.org site. I think that this will give you an idea as to why I like Ghylian’s voice.
Usually after I poke around outside of YouTube, I drone on about Calm for a few minutes for no reason other than the fact that I am lucky enough to have a Calm subscription. I know that does not extend to many people reading this article so I will keep this part brief.
To find out what you are, start out by describing what you’re not.
I like Jay, his is probably not the best ASMR voice on Calm – I suspect that is Tamara Levitt. But the material that he covers is so fascinating and insightful. This is not the Calm marketing department however, so I will move right along.
At this stage of the article, for a number of months, I have made it a habit to review a professional ASMR artist. This was really to contrast with the inadvertent ASMR material that has been the purpose of this blog for so long. I did at one stage feel that this would be totally unfair. Surely a professional ASMR artist who set out to calm their audience and thereby to attract subscribers would have to be streets ahead of any inadvertent ASMR material that could be located. I have not found this to be the case.
This week I am back in nostalgia-land as I am again reviewing a video that I used to listen to a long time ago (the posting date of the video will be a strong clue). I am deviating from the medical theme for a while. I’ve been doing this in the hope that I can present some quality ASMR from an ASMR professional so that you can hear what attracted me to it in the first place. However, I am aware that this blog has been medical-ASMR themed for some time and so I will revert to that in due course.
Today’s is from the channel Tingting ASMR. This has 2.57m subscribers, eight hundred and ninety one videos, thirteen playlists of which this playlist would seem to be on the medical theme which this blog has explored for a while now:
The channel, of course, has notes: “Tingting ASMR
Description
Hello, my name is Tingting, welcome to my ASMR channel! I will be creating videos to help you relax, tingle, and sleep. There’s a lot of stress in this world, I hope I can help you reduce some of it. New video every Tuesday and a new short Sunday so check back often!

Refreshingly brief for an ASMR artist, as regular readers of this blog will already know.
The chosen video is this one:
[ASMR] Chinese Zodiac Calligraphy & Brush Sounds
This is just a fraction less than thirty six and a half minutes – a reasonable length therefore. It too has notes: “462,394 views 11 Jul 2017
These are getting towards the length we might expect from a professional ASMR artist. Comments are permitted. There are a lot of these. As we have come to expect, some of these comments border on the surreal. There are a fair number of positive ASMR comments though, so let’s take that as a good sign.
This video is properly quiet. Definitely one where you will be rolling over and thumbing the volume up a bit. It is on the whispery side of whispery, which is quite typical of a professional ASMR artist I find.
I prefer a non-whispery presentation just because whispery gets a bit samey once I have listened to a few videos. There are a number of non-vocal sounds: clicking, tapping, grinding, brushing, paper sounds, a light background noise (perhaps air conditioning), the odd equipment-related noise. It is one of those videos where nail clicking features strongly, which is great if that is a “trigger” that you like. The pace is delightfully slow, if you want to watch rather than just listen, I suspect you will almost feel your mind slowing down to match the progress.
I decided to try taking my blood pressure before watching the video and then take it again as the video was playing, and found it had dropped almost ten points. Perhaps ASMR videos should be prescribed.
Of course, we are looking for videos to assist in dropping off. I suspect in isolation this will be fantastic; however, the volume is set so low that at thirty-six and a half minutes a stupendously loud and frenetic YouTube advert will have you achieve orbit unassisted.
That said, I think this is a very good video and I can now remember why I used to listen to it so frequently.
This week’s inadvertent ASMR is brief in the extreme. It comes from the channel: Arthritis Research Canada this has 16k subscribers, three hundred and thirty-seven videos, twenty playlists. Not unexpectedly a number of these are on a medical theme, however, it is unlikely that a great many are good for ASMR.
The video is:
Effusion Test
and it has notes: “162,903 views 2 Jun 2011
Discover a systematic approach to diagnosing knee osteoarthritis years and make a difference in your patient’s care. This video demonstrates how to perform three standardized knee examinations to diagnose knee osteoarthritis and demonstrates 18 other knee examination techniques commonly used in practice for in-depth knee examination. The content is not provided as a form of self-diagnosis. To learn more visit www.arthritisresearch.ca“
Which, in common with a number of inadvertent ASMR videos are not whoppingly long. Comments are permitted. There are not a great number and there are none from ASMR fans. That is habitually a bad sign. ASMR fans are like ants to spilled jam as far as great ASMR material goes.
The video starts without music – hip-hip hurrah. The voice is not your classical ASMR voice but it is calm and nicely paced in presentation. The video features the same medical professional throughout but different patients, quite an achievement in a video that is only this length.
And there it was gone. I think worthy of inclusion in the playlist; in fact, I think I will be back to this site in future.
On that basis, just one, video this time.
That’s it on this occasion, more next time.
See you again next week.
The overall playlist of videos covered so far on the Procrastination Pen is here:
The videos weeded out because over time they are just not as good as the others is in this archive list:
I keep this in case subscribers to the Procrastination Pen have personal favourites that they want to hear.
The playlist of videos requiring age verification is here:

I was watching in amazement this week as a colleague edited together a video for use on Instagram using only his phone. I was recognising why the age of the blog has truly sailed. Although it was obvious that the video editing took skill, and it took time, the output was so easy to consume. I could recognise, instantly, why thousands of followers migrate towards channels which produce video content.
It is quite easy to understand why people who, at one time,
would have read a manual or would have looked at a diagram, are now watching a YouTube video to try and get the same information. However, I cannot see myself producing YouTube material reviewing material which is also on YouTube.
Luddite I maybe, but I am not yet ready to give up on the idea that there is value in writing things down. Even if by so doing I am missing out on the more skilful operation of my mobile phone.
I hope, if you are reading this, you agree.
I have not changed the format of these posts for a while now (perhaps it is overdue for a change). This week, again, I recommend something from Calm for no better reason than I have a subscription to Calm and I listen with reasonable frequency.
(You should be aware that relatively limited free material exists on Calm and the following isn’t part of that).
The tendency to want to re-live perfect memories, attempts to recreate the experience never quite measure up. Comparison of the new experience with the previous one tends to make it less enjoyable. Resisting the urge to compare can improve the involvement in the present by leaving the past behind.
For some time, I have been on the lookout for material outside of YouTube because I would rather like the ability to leave adverts far behind. In practice I have found the results a bit variable. In some ways paying up for a service to get an advert-free experience may be the better approach. But, assuming for whatever reason you do not wish to do that, I remembered that during lockdown I came across a track by Rhonda Magee who I recall had a good voice. However, of course, I could not remember where I had come across Rhonda.
It turns out that Rhonda has a website and that there is a part of the site dedicated to meditations. But sadly, this just redirects to YouTube: https://rhondavmagee.com/meditations/
However, I did find a podcast page with a recording which is quite open to a listen for free:
There is a small amount of hiss on the track but I think there is enough material here to get an idea of the quality of the voice.
Recently when I have been reviewing professional YouTube ASMR artists, I have been going back into the past to re-listen to some tracks that I used to listen to years ago. At the time I was not sticking to a medical theme. The idea of reviewing ASMR videos had not even occurred, so the odd one has cropped up which is not even distantly medical. Today’s is like that:
ASMR Back Tracing w/ Scratch, Brushing, Buds & Oil Massage
So not even remotely medical then. Normal service will resume fairly soon.
It is from the channel WhispersRed ASMR. This has 1.12m subscribers, nine hundred and one videos, twenty nine playlists of which none at all seem to be on a medical theme. This could be the reason that WhispersRed has not appeared previously on this blog.
The video has notes (of course it does) and as usual (for a professional ASMR artist) these are extensive:
“10,592,056 views 3 Jun 2018 #whispersred #asmr

#asmr #whispersred”
So, we have now discovered that WhispersRed is called Emma. Later on (whilst watching the video) we find that her subject is called Stephanie. Comments are permitted, and there are literally thousands of these. One that stands out for me is one that asks for YouTube to ensure that ASMR videos are not accompanied by loud adverts. A drum which I have been banging for a considerable time now.
The video is in excess of forty three minutes which is long for one we have reviewed of late.
It starts in full-on whisper mode accompanied by that strange mouth clicking sound that ASMR artists love so much. It is not off-putting though. At intervals it does get a little breathy for me.
There are of course noises not associated with the voice – nail clicking (these seem to go on a bit), hand rubbing, liquid noises, the sound of skin being brushed, squelching noises (I am not a great fan of these in ASMR videos, but I read comments that indicate some ASMR fans come to YouTube for just such content). This comes back to my theory that artists are hammering in every ASMR “trigger” that they have managed to think of in the hope of gathering more fans. I still feel that a video focusing on the gentle voice tone only would be more appealing but 1.12m subscribers seems to indicate that I am in a group of one…
The voice (as we might expect) is properly relaxing and I can hear why it was that I used to listen to this all those years ago. The pace is lovely, even slow in places; the volume is spot on. It is quite old-school now, in that there are not artificial breaks in the video to permit an (objectionably loud) advert to butt-in part way through. For me this makes the experience far more calming.
Around the half hour mark I did feel that I was ready to listen to something else, but then I was reviewing the video rather than trying to fall asleep to it. I’m sure if you’re reviewing it as a sleep aid you will find it is absolutely ideal.
Following the theme of recent blog posts, I will now turn to inadvertent ASMR (which has been the theme of this blog for some while now).
It probably should not be unexpected, but to me is still surprising, when people post medical videos some of the comments are from people who are really looking for a medical diagnosis. Perhaps this points to an area that people could home in on. A whole audience of people whose needs are not being satisfied and I doubt that they can be satisfied by those persons who are posting videos.
As you can probably tell from the above, we are back in the professional medical video category i.e. videos created with a purpose which is unrelated to ASMR. Historically some of these are quite good for ASMR purposes, some are barely adequate, and some are just awful.
But that is the reason this blog exists, to try and identify the odd diamond in all that refuse. Regular readers will have seen videos reviewed, videos trialled in the main Procrastination Pen playlist and videos retired into the Procrastination Pen archive list.
At the same time the video content is itself dynamic. We have seen videos, lauded by ASMR fans, removed on copyright grounds. Channels, apparently with thousands of fans, which disappear and some videos so popular that they disappear (often with their respective channel) only to appear again on another channel sometime later.
This blog will attempt to navigate these changes by maintaining a list of videos that can be played prior to sleep with the intention of allowing you to relax and minimising, as much as is feasible, jarring noises that might disturb that restful state.
Today’s video is listed in the order found, however, it is obvious from the title that it is the third in the series:
Neurology – Topic 3 – Sensory aspects of gait including Romberg’s test
This is a short video at less than four minutes. We seem to have arrived at the point in this review process where short videos have become the norm but I never know what I will find next, so you may find an hour-long video in the next review.
In common with the majority of professional videos we have seen recently this one has some notes: “20 Dec 2012
Sensory aspects of gait including Romberg’s test”
Not the most comprehensive notes but notes, nonetheless.
The comments, as usual, are a bit variable; I have previously concluded that permitting comments with a video is a brave move indeed.
The video is from University College Dublin and, as we expect, they have a YouTube channel eight hundred and twenty eight videos as at the time of review which is rather too many to examine in one sitting. Habitually such channels are university promotional vehicles which is exactly what we would expect.
Sadly, the video has startup music. Startup music is the bane of any ASMR video research. In this case it is not as offensive as some. I have, in the past, weeded out videos purely on startup music. I am hoping that in the future YouTube will introduce a function which allows me to add parts of videos to the playlist; in which case a great many will be subjected to top and tail behaviour. i.e., removing any funky music inclusions from these videos.
Professor Niall has a great voice; there is minimal background noise, not your classic ASMR but it should be calm enough to be relaxing (funky startup music allowing). Sadly, there are periods where it gets louder as if Professor Niall is presenting to a lecture theatre. It is quite fascinating, which is not the reason we are here, but causes me to stick with it.
Thankfully there is no tail end music to this particular video. Good enough for the Procrastination Pen playlist I think, although I aways reserve the right to weed it out if after a few reviews it doesn’t stand the test of time. There’s a couple in there right now that I am mulling over with a view to foisting them out.
The channel is UCD Medicine which has one hundred and sixty-three videos. That is a few I’m sure you will agree. Small wonder then that the channel has 52.7K subscribers.
There are five playlists and none of those seem to be connected with Professor Niall or with Neurology.
However, scanning the list of videos there are at least thirty-one videos on this subject and probably a great many more than that. I’m not sure I would feature thirty-one videos at one time in a single blog post even if they were all to feature Hollie Berry. On that basis therefore I’ll select the first five (including number three, which we just reviewed) and the later videos can form the basis of subsequent blog posts.
We are now into classic cranial nerve examination – which has been the subject of several blog posts previously
This is less than three minutes and yet again with the startup music – grr.
This time Professor Niall seems a bit on the loud side. I have the sense that this video captures a presentation to a class.
The location does not seem to assist in this respect I suspect a large room with a slight echo via the microphone. I always wonder why lapel mics are not more frequently in use. But I imagine additional microphones=additional cost.
A much more substantial video in that it is nearly nine minutes but still short in terms of some of the videos reviewed previously.
I think we can now take it that all of these will share the irritating startup music. Here again we encounter Professor Niall at his best in terms of his voice. We discover that the patient is “Peter”.
Unfortunately, Professor Niall gets louder. It’s a shame because at the start the video is lovely and quiet. If only I felt empowered to take the video and edit it down but I have no doubt a number of solicitors would be delighted if I tried that and the Procrastination Pen would be added to the channels on YouTube that disappear without trace.
However, there are long periods where Professor Niall settles into what must be his default which is a lovely voice to listen to. Perhaps in the future I will look for other material by Professor Niall as there might be the odd one which is properly quiet throughout.
Now, the assurance that we would cover up to video five was made without understanding how the videos progress on this channel, whilst videos one to four were individual videos there is now video 5a to 5j with some of the videos appearing both with and without notes.
I feel it is fair therefore to split the approach to video 5 I think your attention muscles probably will have had enough if I push too far so I think as far as 5c in this blog item and then pick up a future blog item at 5d.
Neurology – Topic 05a Cranial Nerve 1
Here Professor Niall is obviously presenting to a class, it is loud. Again, there are moments where the voice is excellent. Each one of these videos is tantalising in that it is not quite excellent for ASMR but has the potential to be so.
Neurology – Topic 5a Cranial Nerve 1 with notes
A duplicate of the above video – with notes included.
Neurology – Topic 5b – Cranial Nerve 2
A truly substantial video in excess of eighteen minutes. It starts loud and continues loud. Fair doos, the guy at the back of the class needs to hear what you are saying but it makes it less than gorgeous from an ASMR perspective.
Here the patient, in fact has a better intonation for the purposes of ASMR (well he is quieter). I think his name might be Donnacha (with apologies to Irish readers if I messed that name up).
It is even possible that Donnacha may have a channel all of his own but that is for a future blog item if so.
Neurology – Topic 05b – Cranial Nerve 2 with notes
As before a duplicate video to allow for the addition of notes.
Neurology – Topic 5c – Cranial Nerve 3,4,6
A little over seven minutes in length but sadly no quieter. Shame about that classroom setting. I suppose we can take succour from the fact that there are no infernal air conditioning noises.
Neurology – Topic 5c – Cranial Nerve 3,4,6 with notes
With notes
And that’s it this time, I think I’ll come back and give it another try Professor Niall probably has a few gems to offer.

I discovered this week that supplementing magnesium may not just help with sleep but may also assist with attention during the waking moments of the day. From the same source I discovered that supplementing zinc intake could assist in the same way. I have not yet put this to the test (to be honest in search of a benign sleep cure I am getting to the stage of taking so many supplements that I rattle). However, I am going to try this next and will report back as to whether it makes any noticeable difference.
This week a Calm selection which illustrates the reason that I so frequently listen to Jay Shetty, even though he very probably does not have my favourite voice on Calm. This one I found inspirational:
Today’s professional ASMR offering comes from an artist that I used to listen to all the time. Indeed, the video itself is an oldie but goodie.
The channel is Isabel imagination ASMR this has six hundred and thirty four videos, 379K subscribers thirty three playlists of which the following seems to be on theme for this blog so far:
The video is this one:
ASMR Doctor’s Visit Memory test (soft spoken/whisper/personal attention)
It has notes, and oh, what notes: “428,480 views 28 Sept 2016
Hello! My name is Isabel and I’m Dutch. I’ve been crazy about ASMR for about 4 years now and I am finally posting my very own ASMR videos since the 20th of June 2016! This is video #28. I hope you like it!
I’ve recorded this video with a JVC camera and an audio recorder. Here are the links:
In this ASMR video Dr. Clarck will examine you because you are forgetting lots of things lately. You will answer some questions, and Dr. Clarck will perform a few memory tests on you and you will have a smelling test and a listen and memorise test. So, lots of personal attention and soft spoken and whispers included! Sleep tight and enjoy the tingles!!!
Instagram (to stay updated on new ASMR projects of mine):
/ isabel_asmr
This video is meant for relaxation and can also help relieve anxiety, depression or stress, however I am not a psychiatrist, so if you are dealing with severe anxiety, depression or stress I suggest you go to a professional. “
It would not be a professional ASMR artist if they did not feel the need to write a novel with each and every video. Comments are permitted and seem to major in the “odd” feedback rather than sycophantic, which is not unusual for YouTube, but is unusual for a professional ASMR artist. This usually does not bode well, to be honest.
The video is thirty and a half minutes and so is reasonably substantial for videos that we have reviewed of late. It starts with a strange crackling background noise as if it was played on a badly stored vinyl record and straight away it gets into whispering. We’re on fairly well-established ground then. The voice is excellent and indeed the setting of the video itself looks rather professional (not that I expect any readers of this blog will be doing much in the way of watching given that you’re using this material to fall asleep to).
It occasionally gets a bit on the breathy side. It also seems to be falling prey to the “how many triggers can I get into this video” approach to sound recording. There is the stroking of paper, that mouth clicking sound that ASMR artists seem to love so much, nails clicking on a glass jar, but that said we have heard videos where the artist tries to feed in every squelch, tap, and scratching noise that they have heard some ASMR afficionado would rather like. By comparison I’d say that this was a much more measured approach to inserting spurious ASMR triggers and I did not find it obtrusive. However, as I have related before, I am only interested in the quality of the voice personally and additional noises are, for me anyway, merely a distraction.
That said the enunciation is spot on. Quite amazing that a Dutch person speaks English much better than a number of English ASMR artists that I have heard. As some commentators relate, it is interesting that a person from the Netherlands speaks American rather than English but it does mean that Isabel has an interesting accent to listen to in this video. I think I will be coming back to Isabel in the future for any further medical-orientated ASMR videos that come up.
For the ASMR offering which does not involve YouTube, I thought I would try the Internet Archive and see if they had anything for today’s professional ASMR artist. And they do:
Isabel Imagination ASMR 2020 06 12 ASMR For When You Feel Down [ Hugs, Cuddles, Kisses & Positive Affirmation ] JVu4gmugEPk 497MB [CD99985A]
In this triggering ASMR video, you can sit back and relax with headphones on!
In this relaxing ASMR cuddle & positive affirmation video, you can relax to the sound of my close-up ear to ear breathy whispers and get tingles from the warm hugs. Hopefully this calming video will comfort you for sleep!!
Triggers are: scratching, tracing, brushing, wet mouth sounds, whispering, ramble, mouth sounds, hair sounds, visual triggers, hand movements, tapping, shiny objects, crinkle, deep ear whispers, soft spoken, mouth sounds, tapping, finger flutter, whispering ear to ear, breathy whispers, binaural sounds, personal attention, close up tingles.
I’m always trying to improve the quality of my video’s, if you’d like to contribute to this purpose, than that’s possible via donations on PayPal. My email is: isabelimaginationasmr@gmail.com
Who am I :
My name is Isabel and I’m Dutch. My approach to ASMR video’s is combining entertainment in a form of imagination and fantasy (almost movie like) with relaxation. All wrapped into one video for you. This way you can enjoy my videos either before you go to bed to drift off easier, or you can just take a moment of relaxation during the day to calm down and relieve stress.
I’ve been posting ASMR video’s since the 20th of June 2016! I hope you like it!”
I’ve edited them a bit as they are really long.
Sadly, it is not on theme for the medical series I have been pursuing, so I’ll leave you to try it out if you so wish.
For the inadvertent ASMR video which really is what this blog has been about since the ASMR reviews began, I am looking this week at this one:
The Dermatology Exam
I have reviewed a number of videos from this channel previously it is Top Hat Tutorials with 67k subscribers, one hundred forty one videos and all three of the playlists are on theme for the material that I have been covering in this blog:
and
and
the notes on the channel convey what it is all about:
“Top Hat Tutorials
Description
Clinical skills videos for medical professionals and students
There are also notes with the video although, thankfully, they are not excessively long: “296,857 views 22 Jan 2016
A video of the main points of the Dermatology Exam.
The video was created as part of the Top Hat Tutorials app, a new doctor and student designed guide to the clinical examinations in medicine and surgery.
‘TOP HAT TUTORIALS’ is available in the Apple, Google and Windows app stores today.
Reached number 1 medical app in its first week of launch!
A must have for medical students no matter where they are studying.
The video permits comments and as with the previous video I find that the comments are more strange than sycophantic. This may not be a great omen of what is to come.
It is another brief video at just over four and a half minutes so it isn’t going to keep us long. It begins with my personal bugbear: startup music which seems even more sacrilege given we have such scant video real estate to begin with. However, once Dr Tom Branigan introduces himself, we realise we have a safe pair of hands. Tom has a great voice. The patient is Dermot (or assuming this examination is located in Ireland more probably Diarmuid). There is some background noise, probably air conditioning. It is very calm and measured, just the kind of thing I like to hear (music excepting). Sadly, we get the music once again at the close of the video.
So, it is a reasonable one but also a rather brief one this week.
On that basis, just one, video this time.
That’s it on this occasion, more next time.
See you again next week.

I notice that to add to the pressure one might otherwise feel about getting a good night’s sleep, there is now direct scientific evidence that digestion is also impacted. With that impact comes the potential for obesity, diabetes and some of the longer-term effects that you might expect. If ever there was a need to fight tooth and nail for every spare minute in the bedroom it would sound like that is where we have arrived at.
In which case I think we can be unapologetic about being revolutionary about things and suggesting that other things in life should be allowed to wane in order to get the level of sleep that your body needs.
To that end, for a very long time, the Procrastination Pen has been reviewing material for its helpfulness in gentling you off to sleep. Sadly, frequently finding it as much assistance as bright light and a brass band backing track but just occasionally there is a gem that makes it all worthwhile. I’m not certain that there are any gems of that quality this week. However, I will continue the reviewing in the hopes of turning up the odd one.
As I promised some weeks ago, some relaxing material that does not involve annoying adverts. I’ve been listening to Susan Piver for a while now and besides being a highly famous meditation guru, I also think that she has a very good voice. A great deal of her material is also educational which is an added bonus.
Of course there is a wealth of material on YouTube, for example:
Indeed, Susan has her own YouTube channel. But given I am trying to avoid adverts that is hardly a good start.
At the time I am looking at it there are fifty-two episodes available which should give you enough of a taster to determine if this is going to be a voice that you like.
Turning to the Calm recommendation this week, I have:
Jay is perhaps not my favourite voice on Calm; I think that might be Tamara Levitt, but I find his Calm Daily to be one I drift back to again and again because of the importance of the material that he covers.
This one is about the prevalence of gossip and how harmful it can be. How you should avoid gossip, how gossip spreads, and how it is impossible to take back.
Moving onto the professional ASMR artist, I notice that there is quite a lot of criticism of older ASMR videos, as if everything completed some time ago is necessarily worse than anything completed today. No doubt persons of a certain age believe this to be the case. Going with that trend I am covering this week a video posted only recently. However, I can feel my stubbornness tendency coming on and I suspect I’m going to try to feature some older videos more frequently in future.
ASMR Doctor Physician Complete Medical Exam – Whispering RolePlay
It is from the channel Tingles Maker ASMR. This has 13.1k subscribers, one hundred and thirty six videos, eight playlists. One of these playlists seems relevant to the medical theme I have been covering:

Hello and Welcome to Role-Play ASMR Channel – Tingles Maker
My name is Renat (or just Tingles “Maker) and I do ASMR, probably with some accent)
I am learning English and this Channel is my homework. Welcome aboard!
The video also has notes: “5 Apr 2026 #ASMRROLEPLAY #ASMR

By now we are used to a healthy number of notes whenever we are looking at a professional ASMR artist. My guess would be in the cut and thrust world of ASMR; some self-promotion can only help.
Comments are permitted. There are not a huge number but those that there are – are the normal level of ASMR sycophancy that we know and love. This bodes well for this video.
The video is a little over eighteen minutes long it starts at the level of a whisper and straight away we are on familiar territory ASMR wise. The voice is excellent. The presentation occasionally becomes breathy and there is the odd mouth-clicking sound that some ASMR fans seem to be positively transported by. There are, though, as expected, extraneous noises; clicking noises, rustling noises, the odd clatter from equipment being moved, the sound of a tuning fork is actually quite loud, the odd tapping noise, hands rubbing together, paper-related noises. None of which did I find excessively distracting.
I found this quite restful. It seemed very well done actually and, even with the extraneous noises I think this is well worth reviewing.
You may recall a previous post in which I mentioned a URL which linked to thirty two videos. The URL is this one:
Last time we managed to review just four of these videos, so there is a fair few left to look at…
The next one in the series is this:
Nose Examination (Inspection) – ENT
This is less than a minute long so perhaps we are on the home straight and picking up speed now
The notes are: “83,932 views 17 Feb 2012 Clinical Examinations
This video – produced by students at Oxford University Medical School in conjunction with the ENT faculty – demonstrates how to perform an examination of the nose. This part covers inspection only.
All videos on this channel are linked to Oxford Medical Education (www.oxfordmedicaleducation.com)
This video was produced in collaboration with Oxford Medical Illustration – a department of Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust. For more information, please visit www.oxfordmi.nhs.uk”
It is a continuation of the nasoendoscope one and the same people participate. The comments made for that video still apply, including the initially quiet and subsequently slightly louder presentation.
Neck Examination – ENT
This is just less than four minutes so a little more substantial (but that just goes to prove how short some of the other videos have been). The notes are: “248,747 views 17 Feb 2012 Clinical Examinations
This video – produced by students at Oxford University Medical School in conjunction with the ENT faculty – demonstrates how to perform an examination of the neck. It also demonstrates the lymph node regions of the neck.
All videos on this channel are linked to Oxford Medical Education (www.oxfordmedicaleducation.com)
This video was produced in collaboration with Oxford Medical Illustration – a department of Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust. For more information, please visit www.oxfordmi.nhs.uk”
We go back to the format in which there is a narrator for the video. The narrator has a reasonable voice for us. However, the video has some nasty interference which affects the sound as well and will be off-putting to anyone listening. This one does not belong in the Procrastination Pen playlist.
Mouth Examination – ENT
Just under one- and three-quarter minutes so not overstaying its welcome. The notes are “242,014 views 17 Feb 2012 Clinical Examinations
This video – produced by students at Oxford University Medical School in conjunction with the ENT faculty – demonstrates how to perform an examination of the mouth.
All videos on this channel are linked to Oxford Medical Education (www.oxfordmedicaleducation.com)
This video was produced in collaboration with Oxford Medical Illustration – a department of Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust. For more information, please visit www.oxfordmi.nhs.uk”
This is also narrated. The person narrating has an ok voice but not amazing; the medical professional participating in the video itself has a better voice for us.
Hearing Test (Rinne and Weber Examinations) – ENT
Less than one and a half minutes, the notes are: “1,233,808 views 17 Feb 2012 Clinical Examinations
This video – produced by students at Oxford University Medical School in conjunction with the ENT faculty – demonstrates how to perform tuning fork examinations for hearing loss.
All videos on this channel are linked to Oxford Medical Education (www.oxfordmedicaleducation.com)
This video was produced in collaboration with Oxford Medical Illustration – a department of Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust. For more information, please visit www.oxfordmi.nhs.uk”
This is narrated again and the narrator has a good voice, if a little loud here. The tuning fork nises are non-too off-putting – your mileage may vary. It might be one that is weeded on subsequent review.
The medical professional in the video, meantime, has a great voice.
And last, but by no means least:
Otoscopy (Ear Examination) – ENT
Less than three and a quarter-minutes, the notes are: “1,603,425 views 17 Feb 2012 Clinical Examinations
This video – produced by students at Oxford University Medical School in conjunction with the ENT faculty – demonstrates how to perform an examination of the ear using an otoscope. It also demonstrates the anatomy of the tympanic membrane.
All videos on this channel are linked to Oxford Medical Education (www.oxfordmedicaleducation.com)
This video was produced in collaboration with Oxford Medical Illustration – a department of Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust. For more information, please visit www.oxfordmi.nhs.uk”
Again, this is narrated, and here the narration seems to be quieter. The medical professional in the video itself has a good voice for us.
That’s it on this occasion, more next time.

The videos weeded out because over time they are just not as good as the others is in this archive list:
I keep this in case subscribers to the Procrastination Pen have personal favourites that they want to hear.

I can’t be bothered to stop my listening to log on, this interrupts the experience. You may not mind this in which case this list is for you.
I hope that you find the playlists restful and I hope you get plenty of sleep.

Unfortunately, the available time for writing articles is shrinking. So I have the benefit now of being fully aware what it is to be under stress and to find that there is little time, post work, for the stress level to abate, before it’s time to close the eyes.
Life did not come with an off switch, and I have not yet developed the mental discipline to force the mind into quiescence against its will, as it were.
Still, this does mean that I can tell you that some nights, no amount of ASMR is going to help. You may have to take refuge in a Nytol or similar, and allow for the fact that you’re going to feel like a hibernating bear in the morning.
In which case, you have my sympathies.
For all those other occasions, can I suggest the Procrastination Pen playlist. If that does not work, by all means, feedback.
I was recently reading about the beneficial effects of certain mind-expanding mushrooms but personally I am way too cowardly to try them. Assuming I even knew where to buy such things. I assume I’m not going to find them in Tescos any day soon. Whether, as a result of all that mind expanding, you also can work out how to step through the doorway to sleep on demand was not made clear. However, if it were a reliable outcome there are some evenings I would be sorely tempted…
Today, again, I am making recommendation from Calm. Given a subscription is required, I am not certain just how useful to you this kind of recommendation is. If you find that such recommendations simply remind you of your impecunious circumstances, do feedback. The feedback is free, of course, and I will try to accommodate reasonable (or potentially unreasonable) requests dependent upon what they are.
This is about role models and whether you are able to be one. I find Jay Shetty to be very good at inspirational material. Perhaps, though it isn’t always as great as Tamara Levitt in terms of calming. If you already have a Calm subscription, give it a try.
I have been, recently, evaluating a professional ASMR artist in these articles. I tend to be quite tough on them because they are professional ASMR artists. Where I would give latitude to an inadvertent ASMR video, I will not do so when the video is set up to have ASMR content. So far, I have found that many of the problems I find with inadvertent ASMR videos I also find in professional ASMR videos, and I wonder why this is the case. I also wonder if other people have noted the same thing. Please feedback about your own listening and preferences and what you find are the high points/low points of the current professional ASMR video offering.
Today’s selected professional ASMR video is this one:
The Steampunk Orthopaedist | ASMR Roleplay (medical exam, adjustments, personal attention)
It is just shy of thirty-four minutes in length and given it is from a professional ASMR artist it has notes (with the inevitable self-promotional material). Here is a brief extract: “293,422 views 7 Sept 2025
Welcome to a new doctor’s office! Tonight, we will be examining and treating your shoulder, arm and wrist using both classic and more unusual tools.
No music / no intro version: • No music | The Steampunk Orthopaedist | AS…
This video includes lots of personal attention, fabric sounds, unintelligible whispers and writing sounds.
Disclaimer:
This video was created for relaxation / entertainment only. For any serious trouble with sleep, stress etc., please consult your physician.
I rather like the disclaimer. I cannot remember seeing anything similar before.
It is from a well-seasoned channel Moonlight Cottage ASMR with 1.49M subscribers, one hundred and thirty-nine videos, sixteen playlists. I can declare straight away that in the past I have spent quite a while listening to videos from this channel and generally quite liking what I was listening to.
No doubt I will feature the odd-one in the future. That bias declaration out of the way let’s evaluate what this offering is like.
It starts with music which has shades of the Harry Potter about it, or maybe Bucks Fizz circa 1981. You know by now that I do not like startup music. As they go, this one is not the most disturbing I have come across. The video incorporates equipment noises, knocks, rattles, vibrations, paper noises, scribbling noises, rustling noises, clicking noises. These are not my preferred content for a video, but, no doubt, there is an ASMR fan out there that laps up this kind of material.
The voice is very good and for once (mostly) avoids whispering. I find the less whispering, the more believable, but perhaps the more whispering the better the ASMR effect…
That is not to say the voice is not intonated quietly. But then this is what we came here for.
The accent is interesting. I’m not sure where it is from but a quick browse tells me that it is France. I do like the sound and I’m sure I am not the only one. As expected, there are comments, equally expected they are nearly all in paroxysms of adulation over the video. (ASMR artists seem unique in holding at bay the darker comments I otherwise see on YouTube). I am not as easily impressed, but pretty close.
I do like the inclusion of the tuning fork. I’m sure there will be some who disagree. Habitually I am all about the voice, and I would say this is a good one. There has to be a reason for that high number of subscribers after all.
There are various beep noises from steampunk equipment and clunks from heavy objects being moved, none of which I find particularly welcome. No doubt it makes the situation authentic and that was the reason behind including noises of this kind.
If you are watching the video (say you were reading this blog and you’re not ready for bed yet) you will find that the presentation is amazing in its care and detail. Moonlight Cottage ASMR could otherwise double as a film set, every aspect is so carefully prepared. This puts many a video filmed from someone’s sofa to shame.
The steampunk era equipment (for that is where the video purports to be from) is very believable. The layout of the room very minutely detailed to present the theme of a mythical time when all medical procedures were somewhat different than we would expect today.
It was so peaceful in fact that together with the absence of any tail end music (heaven be praised), I had a nasty surprise at the YouTube advert which came up immediately afterwards.
I would say that this one is well worth a review yourself.
After a period of listening to the Procrastination Pen playlist I find that it is easy to get certain favourites in terms of videos and to disregard the others. The temptation is to keep only those few and dispatch the others. However, I suspect if I followed that philosophy after a while, listening to the playlist would be very dull indeed with the same few videos repeating over and over again.
The defence against this seems to be to continue to discover restful videos and to add them to the Procrastination Pen playlist, such that each night time’s playing brings a fresh surprise.
Today, we are back with a channel that we have reviewed before and it seems to consistently bring up restful videos. It is quite likely therefore that we will be back here again in the future.
The video is this one:
Approach to Nevi (Moles) – Stanford Medicine 25
and it is quite a short one at just over four- and three-quarter minutes. It is a professional video rather than, say, a student assessment video as such it has notes: “65,987 views 22 Jan 2016
From our dermatology series, this video covers all the basics you need to accurately describe complex and multiple skin lesions.
(The notes are considerably longer than this, but I have edited them for length. I doubt you will be interested in spending an extensive period reading notes).
This informs us that the medical professional in the video is Jennifer Chen there appears no record of who the “patient” in this video is.
The video starts with more than one incidence of music which, as usual, is somewhat unwelcome, but at least it is somewhat muted. Jennifer has a good voice for our purposes but her voice is consistently accompanied by that music. I still have no idea why people recording videos do this, it is distracting.
The video ends with yet more music.
The channel, which regular readers will probably already be aware, is Stanford Medicine 25.
This contains four videos and we have already reviewed the first one, so let’s cover the remaining three.
Diagnosing Acne vs. Rosacea (Stanford Medicine 25)
A sample of the notes is: “123,974 views 22 Jan 2016
From our dermatology series, this video covers all the basics you need to accurately differentiate between regular acne and acne rosacea.
The Stanford Medicine 25 program for bedside medicine at the Stanford School of Medicine aims to promote the culture of bedside medicine to make current and future clinicians and other healthcare provides better at the art of physical diagnosis and more confident at the bedside of their patients.”
The video is just over three minutes and stars Dr Chen again (the “patient” is not introduced). These videos are certainly fond of their background music, but in this case, Jennifer’s voice seems completely drowned out by it. This is a shame as it is almost the opposite of what we would like to hear. The balance between music and voice is completely off (assuming anyone wanted the music at all). It would have been preferable to delete the background music altogether and just to have Jennifer’s voice here.
Approach to the Dermatology Exam (Stanford Medicine 25)
An extract from the notes is: “154,988 views 22 Jan 2016
From our dermatology series, this video covers all the basics you need to accurately describe and diagnose any skin lesion.
The Stanford Medicine 25 program for bedside medicine at the Stanford School of Medicine aims to promote the culture of bedside medicine to make current and future clinicians and other healthcare provides better at the art of physical diagnosis and more confident at the bedside of their patients.”
This one is just less than eight minutes in length.
Comments are permitted and as expected they are somewhat variable, with limited contributions which add very much. There seem to be no comments that are feeding back from ASMR fans and given ASMR fans are like a squirrel in a hazelnut store when it comes to ASMR videos, this may not be a great sign.
Again, with the music, sigh. This time our medical expert is Dr Justin Ko. He is again in competition with ongoing background music. On the plus side he has a good voice – well paced in presentation, nice and calm. On the downside, at intervals, the music wins the competition. Please stop doing this Stanford.
The subject matter is quite off-putting. I can’t imagine skin conditions becoming top of the pops on any ASMR review. I certainly recommend that you don’t spend time watching this video, but only listen to it.
Some of the featured images are so unpleasant that I think, despite the quality of Dr Ko’s voice, this one cannot make it into the playlist. Too many people listening are likely to find it disturbing material, I think.
Approach to Multiple Rashes (Stanford Medicine 25)
This video is a bit over four and a half minutes. The (abbreviated) notes state: “57,958 views 22 Jan 2016
From our dermatology series, this video covers all the basics you need to accurately describe complex and multiple skin lesions.”
The comments do not lead us to suspect that ASMR fans have adopted this one (that might not be good for us). The now expected music at the start and, again, it continues as the medical professional is talking. Bernice Kwong who it turns out has a nice gentle voice (at least in this video).
Had the background music desisted, this could well have been a very good video indeed. There is again the finishing music. I am left with the sense that this set of videos could have been so much better without that music. I’ll trial them in the Procrastination Pen playlist, but I have a suspicion that they are going to get weeded in the future.

A bit of shock this week. Fresh from a recent Procrastination Pen article discussing Melatonin as a sleep aid, an article describing the concerns about it and why it is not available off-prescription in the UK.
Daytime drowsiness is certainly something I have found, but I reasoned that compared to a night with minimal sleep it was not that terrible a side effect.
I leave it up to you to do your own personal risk-assessment, no doubt taking into account how badly your insomnia is affecting you.
Today’s Calm track is again, taken from the Calm Dailies rather than from tracks dedicated to sleep. That will probably continue for a while. Quite a lot of the material that organisations seem to think assist with sleep do not seem to work for me at all. That might be why I often find myself on the sofa watching dirge TV in the early hours rather than listening to “restful” music tracks.
It is an excellent guide to taking each thing in its time. It comes from one of my favourite voices on Calm, Tamara Levitt. It seems certainly worth the few minutes it takes on the assumption that you have a Calm subscription, that is.
On the day I am looking at it, Calm seems to be priced at £39.99 a year (in the UK anyway). I can’t argue it is good value; indeed, I would not try to sell it to you. If it fits with the kind of material you would normally listen to, I leave it up to you to assess whether you want to spend that.
Established readers will know that for a little while (in the history of blog articles on the Procrastination Pen) I break off now to review a professional ASMR artist and to subject them to laser-focused critique. After all, they are setting themselves up as the pinnacle that ASMR can achieve.
Of late it has been a little disappointing, as I am finding the genuine ASMR artist’s videos have the shortcomings of the inadvertent ASMR videos. In addition, there will be a great deal of self-promotion and advertising thrown in.
I’m sure that I just haven’t found the real quality material yet and, any day now, an artist of truly awesome ability will dumbfound me.
Well, I live in hope.
Today’s video is this one:
ASMR POV You Visit the Sleep Clinic – Medical Exam for Insomnia
It is a little over thirty four minutes and so quite substantial, but we have noted of late that these professional ASMR artists do tend to produce videos of a healthy length.
Of course it has notes: “40,406 views 15 Aug 2025 #ASMR

Refreshingly short notes there, and for a change it does not try to sell me anything.
It is from the channel SophieMichelle ASMR, this has seven hundred and three videos and 645K subscribers – crikey.
I am no longer commenting on attractiveness of artists, I’ll let you know if I come across someone of average appearance.
Of course, this channel features on the ASMR Index. I realise I am giving that site a mass of free promotion, feel free to ignore this…
It starts with music, but this is so subdued I think that you’ll barely notice it. The voice as you would expect is perfect, although as we have come to anticipate, veers a little too closely to whispery to be really believable (in a realistic medical context in any case).
There are comments and, given this is an ASMR artist, these have the halo of pleasantness so infrequently found elsewhere on YouTube.
I am not into rubber glove noises, I don’t find clucking sounds that appealing, and I find beeping from equipment to be off-putting. Against that, there is no air conditioning noise, noises from an adjacent road, or people talking in nearby rooms. There are, in addition, no noises from the moving of heavy equipment. I wouldn’t expect any of these in a professional ASMR video but sadly, some of them have decided to include one or more of those sounds.
There are crackling/crinkly noises, noises from paper/page turning and from the rustling of clothing. There are tapping noises, which I find wake me up if anything. I suspect some ASMR devotees are rather fond of one or more of these sounds. I am about the voice. This one is excellent. It does make me wonder how much of a medical-themed video this is. I have wondered this in connection with hair brushing in other videos, which seemed out of place other than to maximise ASMR “triggers”. I have the same suspicion here too.
Moving on to inadvertent ASMR videos (mostly medical videos – at least so far).
This week we are back to a channel that has featured multiple times on this blog here, here, here and also here. It is Geeky Medics. The videos so far have featured Dr James Lower and Dr Andrew Pugh and so below.
The dedication to this site has been because the videos there seem to be of a reasonably consistent quality (given that they are inadvertent ASMR videos in any case).
Of course, some readers will not have read the previous articles so I should mention that Dr Lewis Potter is the founder of Geeky Medics. The videos will all have notes that are similar (this has been established in those past blog articles). However, in order to cover the notes for new readers I will give a precis version with the first video.
How to Feel a Pulse | Radial & Brachial Pulses – OSCE Guide
A sample of the notes with the video: “120,381 views 16 Jul 2022 Cardiovascular OSCE Guides | UKMLA | CPSA | PLAB | MRCS
This video demonstrates how to assess upper limb pulses in an OSCE station including:
This video is a little less than one and a half minutes and yet sadly, it still finds time to squeeze in some startup music. It seems to be one of a sequence of short guides taken from earlier videos. I suppose that in some cases the advantage is that it avoids some of the less desirable noises.
The presentation is quiet, apart from a constant background hiss. The voice is nicely measured and calm.
Sadly, it concludes with more obtrusive music…
Lower Limb Pulses – OSCE Guide
I won’t put the notes in again, they are all similar. This is a little over two minutes and again has the same two participants. All of these videos would be improved by the removal of the music, of course. This is another short guide and I would say it is taken from a much longer video. (In fact, most probably one I have already reviewed – see the above blog articles for details). It is a lovely slow presentation and the voice is as good as in the previous video. The background noise is as before, and I think I’d be safe in saying it is going to be present in every one of these videos.
Neck Lump Examination – OSCE Guide
This one is nearly four minutes long. This time I do not think I have seen the content before. The background noise is, if anything worse than before. There are lots of on-screen sentences which provide guidance for medical students but, of course, these are not of interest to us in the slightest.
I would say that without the music, a string of these shorter videos chained together would be excellent night time – fall-asleep – material. Sadly though what with music and inter-video adverts, I am including them in the Procrastination Pen playlist under strict review. I maybe binning them in the future if they prove to be excessively intrusive.
I think I will make the next one the last one, to prevent this blog post stretching on too long.
It is this one:
Percussion & Auscultation of the Lungs – OSCE Guide | Clip
I am pretty certain this is a subsection of an earlier video. It is four minutes long and it contains breathing noises. These are intrusive and unwelcome and I think this means it can be discounted from the Procrastination Pen playlist.
That’s it on this occasion, more next time.
