YouTube
On February 24, 2011, Viktorovna started her YouTube channel ”Gentle Whispering ASMR.” During her videos, Maria assumes simulated roles – masseuse, flight attendant, hairstylist, sleep doctor, librarian – and performs simple motions: flipping through the pages of a magazine, blowing smoke from an incense burner, and folding towels.
She made her first ASMR video in June 2011, titled – ”Whispering in English and Russian and flipping through a magazine.”
”This is my very first whisper video,” Maria wrote in the video. ”I hope you like it. Just wanted to see if I would get any response.”
Note – ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, a term coined by Jennifer Allen.
According to a study, ASMR was associated with increased skin conductance levels and reduced heart rate.
”It’s like showers of sparkles,” Viktorovna said about ASMR in an interview. ”It’s like warm sand being poured all over you, trickling over your head and down into your shoulders. It’s like goosebumps on your brain.”
Maria was one of the first ASMRtists on YouTube to do role-plays showing her face.
Other “ASMRtists” on YouTube include:
- Latte ASMR;
- ASMR Darling;
- ASMR Glow;
- GIBI ASMR;
- Tingting ASMR.
”There’s really no competition in the ASMR world because we want you to experience other people, because you will get different sensations from everyone,” Maria said in June 2015. She added: ”There is such a thing as an immunity in ASMR, when you watch too much of one person.”
