Steven Smith is the founder of the website, ezASMR.com.
He created the website to help creators of ASMR videos to better understand ASMR, select appropriate equipment, produce better videos, and do it all in an “ez” way.
Steven has put together several tips for recording ASMR videos. These tips should be helpful to all creators of ASMR videos and especially to those who are just starting out.
Below are his Seven Tips to record ASMR videos along with a link to his website.
Georgina Susan Pamela Terzza has recently completed her BSc in Psychology at the University of Lincoln, England. She is now pursuing her MSc in Clinical Psychology at the Royal Holloway University of London, England.
For her Bachelor’s Dissertation, supervised by Dr. Andy Benn, she completed a research project titled, “The effects and benefits of ASMR stimuli on mood.”
For her project, 37 participants (with and without experience watching ASMR videos) watched ASMR videos and completed a survey about their mood. She found that ASMR videos had a positive effect on mood, and this was independent of prior experience with ASMR videos.
In my interview with Georgina, she provides helpful explanations of her inspiration, goals, methods, findings, interesting moments, and very useful tips for other students researching ASMR.
Below are my questions in bold, her replies in italics, and a link so you can learn more about her.
Curt Ramsey has a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Virginia Tech University and a Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Counseling from the College of William and Mary in Virginia.
Curt is currently a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia beginning his journey of offering ASMR counseling via in-person visits and live video sessions.
Almost a year ago he reached out to me with a strong interest in incorporating ASMR into his practice. We discussed the great potential of ASMR counseling and I have watched his knowledge and belief in the benefits of ASMR deepen over time.
Curt has expanded his counseling website to offer ASMR counseling sessions to help those struggling with stress, anxiety, self-esteem, intimacy, connection, and trust. His incorporation of ASMR-inspired techniques includes gentle whispering with clients, gentle whispering between couples, and incorporating ASMR triggers into mindfulness exercises and guided imageries.
You can visit his ASMR Counseling website HERE.
He has also launched a video channel to allow potential clients to experience his ASMR counseling style through free recorded videos. These videos demonstrate that Curt not only has a deep understanding of ASMR that can benefit his clients, but he also has a kind and gentle personality that embodies ASMR.
You can view his ASMR videos HERE.
I’ve asked Curt to share his journey so far. In the section below you will find out how he learned about ASMR, his earliest memories of ASMR, his investigations into learning about ASMR, the development of his ASMR practice, and his experiences so far with ASMR counseling.
