This should be easy to answer, but it isn’t. At least not for me. I have figured out one way to get some ballpark numbers, but my methods may not be the easiest or the most accurate.
If you know a better way than what I describe below, then please reach out to me at asmruniversity@gmail.com.
I will begin by telling you the numbers I calculated and then I will explain how I achieved them.
Andrea Rovira lives in Spain and has recently graduated from the Istituto Europeo Design in Italy with a BA in Fashion, Marketing, & Communication.
Andrea has also been creating ASMR videos for her YouTube channel, AndreawhisperingASMR, since September, 2019. She has created about 100 ASMR videos so far and has grown her channel to have over 41,000 followers.
Additionally, Andrea has recently completed her undergraduate dissertation titled, “The Role of ASMR in Future Advertising.” Her dissertation is the best organized and most visually appealing one I have ever seen – a true testament to her natural skills and the knowledge acquired from her Marketing and Communication training.
I interviewed Andrea and she shared her most challenging aspects of creating ASMR videos, her tips for new artists creating ASMR videos, and the curious things she discovered while writing her thesis about ASMR and advertising.
Below are my questions in bold, her replies in italics, and a link to her ASMR YouTube Channel, as well as, a link to her complete dissertation.

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.

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.

The “Best Day Ever” YouTube channel was started in 2013, which is also the birth year of the current star of the channel, 7-year old Zoey.
Perhaps Zoey’s mother, Penny, started the channel that year in hopes of capturing and sharing family moments. Sure enough, the early videos on the channel are happy and jovial family moments of their times in Georgia, U.S..
Early this year in 2020, 7-year old Zoey began creating ASMR videos, and the channel is now called “Best Day Ever ASMR.” The video channel has grown quickly with 14,000 subscribers and 56 well-produced, deeply relaxing, whimsical, fun, and colorful ASMR videos starring 7-year old Zoey.
I interviewed Zoey and her mom Penny to find out more about their channel. Penny shares how Zoey became inspired to create ASMR videos, how both parents help her to create the videos, how they optimize her personal safety, and how they guide her to make age-appropriate content. Zoey shares why she likes to create ASMR videos, if she experiences ASMR, and shares 3 tips for other young creators of ASMR videos.
