Hey everyone,

This is honestly a bit scary for me to post, but I’ve been thinking about starting an ASMR channel for a long time and finally decided to just ask instead of keeping it to myself.

I don’t really have much technical knowledge about this yet — I’ve been watching ASMR videos since early 2016 and I know I enjoy ASMR and want to try creating it.

Right now all I have is an iPhone 15, so I was thinking of starting with that, but I’m not sure what else I actually need (if anything) to begin.

I’d really appreciate some beginner guidance:

• Do I need to buy a microphone right away, or can I start with my phone?
• If I do need a mic, what are some budget-friendly options? (especially if you’re from India or know what’s available here)
• What are the basic things required to start an ASMR channel?

I’m also not very comfortable being on camera, so I’m thinking of starting with no-face videos. Not sure if that still works, but I’m willing to try.

I’m on a budget, so I can’t invest a lot in the beginning. I just don’t want to delay starting anymore because of overthinking.

If anyone has advice, suggestions, or even small tips for someone completely new, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks for reading — took me a bit of courage to finally post this 🙂
