I met the man with the most relaxing voice ever recorded

Here's the unintentional ASMR edit with the interviewer cut out: • 55 mins of the most re...
In Feb of 2018, Pure Unintentional ASMR was born when I edited a John Butler interview with Conscious TV and it went viral, racking up over 20 million views. Last year, I flew to meet the man himself at the scene of the famous interview, All Saint’s Church in Bakewell, England. I brought along the original cameraman in the hope to capture as much of the magic of the original interview as possible.
Honestly, I was pretty nervous especially at the start of the interview and I don’t think my questions were the best but hopefully I don’t ruin it too much. John was in great form and we had a great chat for over an hour and half. So sit back relax and enjoy this interview with the man with the most relaxing voice in the world, in my opinion anyway!
With thanks to Phil Shankland and John Butler and my apologies for the delay in getting this video out to you all! Hope you like it and really looking forward to the comments and hearing what you all think. Sleep well!

Only to the ones that choose not to hear him. This older man is an asset to humanity. Long ago he would have been a chief or what have you. People hundreds of years ago felt more for one another than they did for themselves . A cow being purchased for his family provided milk ,milk was more calories for the family more array of baked goods...it was gold. Many oeople hundreds of years ago didnt own a mirror....life was not in a bubble in those days. It wasnt selfish it wasnt about yourself. It was pure. People really could hear the birds the crickets and care deeply for one another. People could really see life. Life shouldnt be selfish and it shouldnt be about yourself but about others. When you deeply care more about others you give yourself a gift,its fullfilling . Love penetrates everything it touches and spreads. In the Bible it says love by neighbor as you love yourself... How many people can actually do that. I know that is something I'm working on presently. Nowadays you hear people talking about you should make yourself come first there's videos on it Everywhere.

I am an actor, and in my professional training I was taught that when you're in the scene, there's nothing to think about. In fact, if you're thinking, you will be so consumed with thoughts of "What is coming next?" or "Will I fail if I do this gesture?" that actually the life you were supposed to be living had already passed with you missing it, completely. His talk of when we are so lost in our thoughts, and complications we lose sight of common sense is so true and my whole career is in trying to replicate it under imagined circumstances. That is what acting is - living truthfully under imaginary circumstances.

as soon as i heard his voice. i teared up. with someone with autism and ptsd, im very sensitive to loud noises and people talking very loudly. his voice is so calming that i couldnt help but cry as i heard this man speak. thank you for blessing my ears, brain, heart and soul John Butler

[@thechosenpit]

i'm also autistic! i'm fairly sensory-avoidant, but at times (especially when i'm understimulated, "bored" or generally dissatisfied with my surroundings) i can be sensory seeking. sometimes loud voices, *perfectly* loud voices, are also captivating. for example, today in one of my classes, we had a guest speaker that had the most beautiful projection, his "lecture" or "speech" felt more like a conversation, and he had just the right amount of inflection and passion. although it wasn't soft or a whisper, it had the same... elements...? of an what i look for in asmr voices... i'm probably not making any sense, it's late & i'm exhausted, and i don't really even know why i felt the need to yap here tbh. also, you're absolutely right, his voice brings me a peace i don't usually get to feel throughout my day. very relaxing.

[@_Apple_bees.]

​@senpit im the same way! i can very much be sensory-avoidant. like when my little sister hugs me, i panic and like try not to cry, its weird ik. but the times i do sensory seeking like stuff. its normal for me to just randomly hug my mom or i'll just cry because i like the feeling of it. and the asmr part you were talking about, when it comes to asmr, people really just whisper and dont use their real voices because well- its loud and asmr is relaxing. so when this guy talks, you can tell hes not forcing the volume of his tone of voice. and bye the way! i dont mind what you call yapping, im doing hw rn and reading that gave me something to do. edit: i was in my kitchen and remembered something i could add onto what i said. i can handle loud noises at times. like my taste in music is heavy metal. but i went to a concert not to long ago and i got so overstimulated so fast by how loud the speakers got. i was so overstimulated to the point where i was crying in the bathroom, trying to calm myself down

[@goodnight2931]

[@HeinrichDorfmann]

It's always difficult to accept praise. Unless you're Mr. Butler. Congrats John, you passed the test admirably.

[@tl5318]

No other intentional or unintentional ASMR comes close to Mr. Butler's. No day goes by that I do not listen to his videos. I love you Mr. Butler. You are a rare gem.

[@consciousnessrenaissance7804]

Oh the wisdom he holds, the light, the warmth, the unconditional love 💕😇🙏🤩😘

Thanks so much! Glad you liked it.

[@punarnava666]

❤ loved listening to him. So gentle, so genuine. ❤

[@elizagoodytwoshoes9140]

How lovely to come across this beautiful man again all these years later🥰

[@astrogliding]

He is incredible!! This is the inspiration and information that should be plastered everywhere instead of reality television.

[@azekel7687]

I would love to meet this man. This is my first time even hearing about or even seeing him on my screen, but yet I feel like he is someone I can learn a lot from without feeling like I'm in school.

[@intimaspace646]

I would just like to say how much I admire and look up to people such as John Butler. Religious or atheist, his pearls of wisdom are worth listening to.

[@sarahhostkoetter960]

A dear friend who spoke exactly like this passed away about two weeks ago. His voice is now gone with him. Love it. Miss my friend.

[@CalmingCap]

His voice really is super relaxing. The interviewer was selected appropriately as well to compliment.

[@GalactusDaDevourer]

What a treasure of a man.

[@rajmathew6220]

I just want to hug this man, something so pure and lovable about him.

[@etchieSketchie]

What he said around minute 44:00 to 44:40 moved me emotionally.

[@TheLawlessRogue]

0:18 seconds in and I was immediately blown away with how accurate the title is 😭😭😭

[@rumers100]

My sleeping problems are gone somehow. Thank you sir and you the guy that post that vid.

[@DigitallyRemasteredMusic]

Mr Butler reminds me of my own Grandad, who passed away in November. He was a very softly spoken gentleman. It was through Grandad, that i discovered the tingly feeling, which i didnt know was called ASMR back then. He used to sit in his chair doing this soft whistle while drawing or rustling through his numbers bag for lottery numbers. He, like John Butler, always created a really calm and chilled atmosphere around him.

[@PureUnintentionalASMR]

This is exactly how I first discovered the tingly feeling too back as a kid. Through my Grandad and other people his age. He did the soft whistling thing too all the time. Sorry for your loss.

[@DigitallyRemasteredMusic]

@@PureUnintentionalASMR thank you ☺️ my grandad really was a walking asmr center haha. But never knew it was a thing until I got older. I thought it was just me being weird getting tingly over random noises 😄

[@PureUnintentionalASMR]

@@DigitallyRemasteredMusic 😄 Exact same!

[@diachv998]

Such a pure soul and his voice takes me in a meditation state of mind, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED LISTENING TO THIS INTERVIEW!❤

[@LiftingStress]

As a vegan, I teared up at 41:00, for I've pondered the same. Although I'm an agnostic atheist, what he said about spiritual experiences, agitation, distraction, and meditative states using analogies made great sense. John's wisdom, humility, and calming presence attract people to him. You're a great interviewer. Thank you!

[@powerxinfinito6995]

I mean, biologically, animals fear have survival purposes.

[@dgmang92]

Amazing you were able to interview this wonderful man. He has a delightfully simple yet profound life story.
