ASMR woes - & help ?
never really do much with ASMR even though really want to enjoy because just have such specific needs with this stuff , like honestly lucky if even find one that work .
just today , brain is in weird sludgy state , itch to calm down and trance but too busy to get there without help . right , OK , some kind of unintelligible gibberish ASMR might help - someone's voice , deliberately calm and quiet , but also no meaning that need to focus on .
but quickly find out that also need this to be :
will probably also help to explain why these things problems , so : HOH , and audio process is big struggle that take up lots of brain power , between follow intonation , distinguish sounds and words from each other , fill in gaps that fail to comprehend , and keep up with pace .
when brain is sludgy , need to be able to just turn that shit off and keep off - but anything that mimic ( or is ) true language and speech force back on . this is also why can not just use another real language , even one that have no comprehension of , because brain still pick up on these things .

but quickly find out that also need this to be :
- soft spoken but not all whisper , too much whisper agitate
- low on voiceless plosives ( p/t/k ) and other clicky mouth sounds , those sounds agitate
- not clear enough to distinguish " words " , so nothing that try to mimic language like simlish
- slow and steady with minimal intonation , not try to emulate real casual speech
- solely gibberish ( apart from skippable intro/outro ) rather than switch between
