1. Prop/whisper videos

In this type of video, ASMR artists have certain props that they use to make sounds that can cause ASMR. Typical props are pen and paper, crinkly objects, and books. However many artists are more creative, as seen in the following video. These artists also often whisper and talk to the viewer as they touch the prop, adding another layer of sound. Certain props simulate a head or ears, causing an illusion of the artists touching you.
