Crinkly Tap Tingles

     For this post I'm going to combine the tapping and crinkle genre into one post since I feel they have a large number of things in common. 

     Firstly, I want to say that for these two types of videos you need some sort of object to emulate the sounds typically used in them. You can't make a crinkle sound with just the use of your body. Paper or plastic wrapping for example are some of the most common materials used to trigger tingles. I personally think that when someone watches a page turning video for example, they are relaxed mostly because of the emotions and memories they have attached to it. For example, you hear a someone turning a book and you think of the paper gently brushing against itself and your fingers and maybe of a time you were at the library. Usually the library is a very calm and quiet place so that in of itself is relaxing. 

     Tapping also uses other materials to trigger tingles. Maybe glass, wood, plastic, ceramic or even stone. That combined with the gentle movements of the persons fingers tapping and the sincerity of ASMRtist combines to make a more intimate experience. All of that combined with whispering or binaural audio all adds to a very stimulating  experience.
