Aye, that’s why it’s so weird that his voice is about the only sound in that genre that doesn’t bother me at all. I think it’s because, although he was soft-spoken, he didn’t try to force extra breath through his throat for that raspy sound that makes me feel like someone is being strangled. There’s also a weird harmonic resonance to a lot of the ASMR voices that makes me feel mildly disoriented like the beginnings of a headache.
