asmr august December 2023 update
For those who follow asmr august it was interesting to see her do a Q & A on her channel here.
A few things came out of it, here’s a quick summary:
She still won’t reveal her real name – fair enough, privacy is an important part of good mental health for some people.
She isn’t a fan of Social Media, the privacy thing again.
Her favourite ASMRtist is Be Brave Be You – good choice! Nicola really is believable in her roleplays.
asmr august long term plans are to leave YouTube and ideally move to somewhere with no electricity.
She is still super keen on ASMR, her enthusiasm was lovely to see!
Her plans for her channel are to move into more more real life situations with her receiving treatments – probably more like what ASMR Beauty does.
And as for her amazing skin she says it’s just genetics, soap, moisturizer and drinking lots of water. Lucky her!
I wish her well with her continuing treatments for improving her mental health.

Q & A’s with asmr august
We reached out to asmr august to get her take on a few ASMR related questions.
Thanks so much to her for taking time out day to answer them and provide some insight into what she likes about ASMR and advice for those starting an ASMR chanel.
Why did you get into ASMR?
I have been experiencing ASMR tingles for as long as I can remember, and once I found out it had a home on YouTube, I watched it religiously every day. It helped me so much and I still to this day am amazed at it’s power to help people sleep, fight loneliness, chronic pain, depression etc.
The list is endless. In 2018, I felt I had watched so much ASMR that I understood what triggers would help other people. I posted one video, not expecting much to happen – the rest is history!
What is the most enjoyable part of creating ASMR content?
I actually really enjoy acting as a doctor, once I get into the swing of it – I just improvise the whole thing and love it.
What is the hardest part of running a YouTube channel?
This will be different for different people, but for me, it’s the consistency. I am the most inconsistent person. Some weeks I just don’t feel like creating – and my channel definitely takes a hit.
Your favourite type of video?
Realistic medical roleplays. I don’t need any fancy props or a professional set. Just good old fashion acting 🙂
Biggest trigger?
Face touching and concentration
Favourite ASMR artist/s?
Power of Sound, WhispersAudio, Be Brave Be You, Miss Managanese, Mad P, Luna Lux – list is endless!
The most memorable thing to happen making a video? (apart from the head injury one!)
Honestly, the head injury one is unforgettable. I actually got to do a real exam on someone that probably should have seen a real doctor asap. Apart from that.. erm…no nothing tops that.
Do you read all the comments?
Yes! I hate that I do this but sometimes I struggle to watch asmr and I worry I’ll lose touch with what people want to see so I make sure I read all feedback.
What plans do you have for future videos?
I plan to film more haha I have lot’s more collabs booked in, lot’s of real person content, and more classic POV roleplays
Best tip for someone starting an ASMR YouTube channel.
Don’t chase the money or copy what other people do. Decide why you want to make asmr, focus on the triggers you enjoy, you’ll be much more authentic and stand out.
3 most viewed videos from asmr august
These are the three most viewed asmr vidoes from asmr august.
We thought this would be a good way to introduce her work to those people who have not seen any of her videos before.
Also, the more popular videos tend to be older as they have had more time to accumulate views. So it may be these are videos you have missed out on from her.
1. Cranial Nerve Exam Role Play
This is a very popular Cranial Nerve Exam role play from asmr august. A lot of people really like the soft voice, the close personal attention and the crinkly latex gloves. The close up POV works really well.
The most replayed is at 14:15 where asmr august is very closely examining the facial muscles. She gets up super close to the camera and does some light touching under your eyes.
Watch out for the ‘sandwich breath‘ moment at 17:26 where she says ‘excuse my stomach‘!
2. Tingly Eye Exam Role Play
This eye exam is interesting as asmr august doesn’t say a huge amount. So there is a lot of silence. But this really works for being such a relaxing video as you aren’t too distracted.
The most replayed part is at 5:38 where asmr august is up really close to your face using the ophthalmoscope to get a really good look at your eyes.
The use of the ophthalmoscope goes on for quite a while before you are asked to read a chart on the wall to identify some letters.
3. Dermatologist Skin Exam & Assessment
Perhaps one of the reasons that this skin assessment video is so popular is that it is very natural.
So none of the affectations that a lot of newer ASMR content seems to have. For example tapping things unnecessarily, clicking tongues, scratching inanimate objects when not required.
Sometimes less really is more!
The most replayed part of this video is at the end of the video at 29:06 with some perfume spraying.
Quirks and features
We know asmr august has done some really great collaborations with other asmr artists like LunLux ASMR.
But she also has her own second ASMR channel. This is Real Person ASMR by August. Go and check it out!
What I like about asmr august
I really like how natural asmr august’s video content is.
She has a nice soft voice, not a whisper, and engages really well with the camera to make the whole experience believable.
She acts out the roles really convincingly and gets how the close personal contact is a really effective ASMR trigger.
For anything medical ASMR august is the ‘go to‘ person as she has created many varied role play videos.
The guests she works with are all really likeable and fit her channel very well.
My favourite asmr august video – Real Person Medical Exam
I didn’t really get in asmr august until fairly recently, about a year ago. And this was the video that introduced me to her in a meaningful way.
There are lots of really good trigger points from doing a blood pressure test, checking her (the patient’s) eyes, there is quite a lot of face, head and hair light touching.
But the thing for me that really made the video was the guest, or patient. She had a really easy manner and an amazingly soft voice that just gets quieter and softer (and more tingly!) as the examination continues. A perfect match for asmr august! More videos with her please!
The most replayed is at 16:09 as a blood sample is taken – not really though!
I really like this video a lot and find it very relaxing. Go and check it out yourself!
