Hey y'all,
So, I've been sick again. It's ridiculous. My best guess is that my immune system just didn't have a chance to fully recover and I got hit with something else ... some flu-like viral respiratory infection, which progressed into a sinus and ear infection. I'll be fine, I'm just really frustrated, and feeling impatient to feel well enough to get back on track with things.
The biggest obstacle, YouTube-wise, has been my hearing. I'm currently dealing with temporary, modera...

Hey y'all!
I'm so happy to be getting a video to you! This is a nice long one, and I'm happy with how it turned out. I think that something about it feels very "classic ASMR role play", like they used to make in the olden days of ASMR content creation (so, 2013–2014 maybe). What do you think?
I'll be publishing this later today on my main channel, but wanted to get it to y'all first. I hope you enjoy it! There are patron credits at the end.
Please know that I am *SO* than...

Hey y'all!
For those of you who haven't seen the news elsewhere, I was part of a big group collaboration: A cinematic ASMR version of Murder on the Orient Express! This is a YouTube "premiere", which means there's a live chat for socializing when the video first plays ... which is in just under 30 minutes. I'm hoping to be there for all (or at least most) of the video's run time, and I'd love for any of y'all who are available to come hang out with us. There's so much I love about...

Hey y'all! Here's your early access version of my newest video, which will go up on the main channel later today. Please check the description box for an explanation of what's going on with the sound.
I'm including the "ad-free" version of the last video as well, though I'm still trying to work out the issue with YouTube adding ads to some non-monetized videos.
I hope you're all well, and please know that I'm VERY thankful for your kindness and support.
Love,
JB

Hey y'all!
I just wanted to let all my patrons know that I've been made aware that YouTube has added ads to at least one of my "ad-free" videos. I've heard that YT has been doing this to a lot of other non-monetized channels for a little while now, but this is the first time I'm aware of it happening on my JBG Ad-Free channel. I haven't been feeling well for a few days now, so I appreciate your patience on this while I try to figure out the problem and what I can do about it. I'm not su...

Feel free to ask more than one, but be aware that I may need to do just one from each person if there winds up being a ton of questions to get through (so maybe add a little star to whichever question you care about the most.)

So, this bonus version of the new video is currently available on Vimeo for $1.99 USD, but I uploaded a version to the ad-free channel as well for all my patrons.
Moving forward, I definitely want to make at least some of my videos available for download (standard versions as well as bonus ones) on Vimeo, but I haven't yet decided on how to handle things on the Patreon end. I'm probably going to make them available at just a slightly higher tier ($2 a month) simply be...

I'm going to be out driving kids to and from appointments for the next couple of hours, but if any of you have the time and desire to put together a timestamp menu for me, that would be such a lovely help. No worries if not, though, I can put one together when I get back!

Hey y'all!
I've been playing around with the idea of making extended or alternate versions of my YT videos available for purchase. For example, I might upload a massage role play to YouTube, but make an alternate version of the same video with rain sounds in the background available for purchase.
This feels like a tricky thing to do, because I would want the alternate, for-purchase videos to be something that genuinely adds value in some way, but without making the primary, free ...

Hey y'all!
This video is still uploading, so the link might not work properly for another 20–30 minutes or so, but I'm about to leave my house for a couple of hours so I'm sending this now.
This role play is another one that's one the wacky side. I had a lot of fun making it, and I hope you enjoy watching it! I'm planning some more "classic" type ASMR medical role plays for my next filming session.
Thank you, as always, for all your support!

Here's your early-access link to the ad-free version of my newest role play video. I created this one as a sequel to the Eye Light Resiliency video that I published a few months ago. The energy in this one is a little fast and chaotic at times, but I hope it will be relaxing for everyone.
I'm wishing you all very sweet dreams whenever you next get to sleep (I'm about to go to bed myself) and I'll see you again soon!

Here's the link for the ad-free version of my last video.
I just finished filming a couple of role plays (a light triggers video, and then something a little unconventional). I'm tired, but I'm also just really happy to be doing this work.
Thinking of you all with gratitude,

Hey y'all! I'm wrapping up editing on a video, and I realized that I got an extended countdown toward the end of the video wrong in a couple places (I say, "10, 9, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 3, 2, 1.") My instinct is that I'd like to dub over the incorrect numbers with voice recordings of me saying the correct numbers, but I'm a little concerned that it might be distracting if people see that there are brief moments where the audio isn't quite matching what my mouth is doing. But then, of course, me gett...

Hey y'all!
I just finished working on another fake promo for another made up service! This one will be at the beginning of a video, leading into a role play. This part of the video is more silly than relaxing, but I promise the role play itself will be a little more conventional.
I feel so lucky to have had 4 other ASMR artists agree to do cameos in this little promo ... I wonder if any of you can recognize all 4 of them?

QUICK SIDE QUEST FOR THE COMMUNITY: A random small group (kids, I think) on Twitter who don’t like or understand ASMR are harassing a creator friend over one of his videos. Nathan is a very lovely and kind person who makes wonderful videos, and who also volunteered an extraordinary amount of time and work this past year to help make TingleCon happen (TingleCon is an annual online ASMR convention, and it’s really neat!) It occurred to me that this might be an especially good day to swing b...

I'm currently working on outlining a new RP that I'm excited for ... but there's a whole question and answer section in the role play, and I can't decide whether I should record your answers using a computer keyboard (typing sounds), or whether I should utilize writing sounds (pen or pencil) instead. If any of y'all are up for it, if you could please follow the link I've shared and respond to the (very brief) survey questions, that would be a big help. Thank you!

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed images yesterday! I did start to film the reaction video, but I was so tired and low-energy by that time that I quickly realized it wasn't going to be a fun video to watch, so I'll plan to try again another time.

I don't know if this happens to any of you, but I've spent VERY MANY hours editing this video over the past couple of days, and if I have to listen to one more minute of it, I'm going to self-defenestrate.
Most of the editing is complete, it's just missing the background image and the usual beginning and end screen stuff. If any of you feel up for it, I was hoping a few of you could listen through and let me know if there's any big, obvious issues with the audio (e.g. ...
