On July 12th 2019, VidCon, an annual conference for online videos held in Southern California, hosted a panel session on ASMR, inviting Angelica, Goodnight Moon, Matty Tingles and ASMR Darling to give their perspective as creators in a rapidly-growing community.
Here are a few key points from the panel:
Goodnight Moon: Don’t film when you’re stressed
Angelica: Keep your public life away from your private life
Angelica: Uses her iPhone to record videos
Matty Tingles has some sound proofing and records at 2am
ASMR Darling prefers to watch lofi ASMR videos. Lofi gives her more ASMR than high tech videos
Goodnight Moon’s favorite part of the video making process is set design
Matty Tingles on hateful comments: ‘I’ve been called the worst things that a human can possibly think of’. Matty is now at a stage now where he finds it funny and says you have to brush it off
ASMR Darling still uses ASMR to fall asleep to almost every single night
How to explain what ASMR is: Matty's advice is to keep it concise and use examples like back tracing.
VidCon couldn't have chosen more eloquent and interesting ASMRtists for the panel.

I honestly did not even realize that asmr had gotten this big to the point where there is even a panel. I probably would never have known if it weren't for this asmr collective website.
