you healed my inner child, thank you. Playing chess with my father was a torture, he always obligated me and yelled at me to the point I hated playing chess, even though I was only a little girl and I didn’t understood all the tricks. In these years I found out how beautiful this game is, but I was always scared to try again because he made me feel stupid and scared of failing. Now with your video, you explained things so well and patiently that I almost cried. “you can either win or learn” I bawled my eyes out, thank you ❤

[@noahissleepy000]

Something about this childlike vibe pairs so well with ASMR and educational content, and you pulled it off flawlessly for an entire hour! It reminds me of when you make the pieces talk - super cozy and relaxing. I hope this comes back in future :D And what a gorgeous mix. It's super bassy without being so resonant that it becomes pitchy/piercing. I think there's also some subtle stereo variation in the lower mids that adds that vibration-y feel that is *the* ASMR secret sauce for lower voices - I imagine you don't normally record your voice in stereo, so I wonder how much of your voice is coming in through the shotgun mics.

[@ASMRChess]

The mix is different in this one in that I’ve been able to target same crucial frequencies in the stereo pair of shotgun mics with the EQ and bring them down so they don’t get in the way of my voice coming through the third mic.
