Silent Meditation Retreat Registration ASMR Roleplay (German accent)

[@oliviamccarthy8953]

the random lentils in the glass container to convey middle class german hippie culture has me giggling

[@SwanDiveASMR]

Enjoy the video! Fun fact: the thumbnail underwent a weird glitch on exporting. I kind of love it, so decided to keep it

[@jessicaaudate]

Thanks Swan!

[@r_r_r_r]

Oh yeah it was cool!

[@DogBearCat]

Grandma portrait is the main antagonist so we cast her in red and then Buddha is gold cuz he got the cash money (that’s why his ears are like that, he used to be a punk, ditched the gauges and found enlightenment or some shit).

[@SwanDiveASMR]

@@DogBearCat That’s a portrait of S. N. Goenka, the guru of Vipassana. Sigh. I wish he was my grandmother

[@DogBearCat]

@@SwanDiveASMR he would make an excellent grandmother I’m sure, guru-and parents are highly regarded in many cultures

[@lemondrop2609]

The gong being a pot lid had me rolling on the floor and kicking my little legs

[@jennarae85]

I’m so obsessed with this video I have watched it every night since it published. Your humorous touches are so perfect but the accent and the absurd but somehow believable instructional aspect is somehow the most perfect asmr I’ve ever experienced. Please make more with this character it’s absolute gold.

[@SwanDiveASMR]

Thanks Jenna, that's so great to hear and you really hit the nail on the head with the absurdism/instruction combo. This what I like best in other ASMR videos! Thanks for articulating it so well. Glad you like this character. I'm confident they'll be back

[@catieboo2716]

Same! I cannot get enough of this genius character. This would make an amazing (albeit silent) sitcom. The will "they won't they" between Gerhard and Angela.. The Great Red Lentil shortage in Triebel of 2024.. so many ways it could go! 😆

[@SwanDiveASMR]

@@catieboo2716 I would love to be a fly on the wall in the pitch meeting for this sitcom to a major network. Imagine it would be entirely mimed

[@liznolan2930]

Omg I never usually comment but I just had to say how much I love this video! The humor killed me and the accent was so good like??! Please do more videos with this accent it’s just so relaxing!

[@SwanDiveASMR]

Thanks Liz, I'm honoured this silent retreat helped you break a bad habit by leaving a comment (even if that is a speech act (which is verboten))

[@asagelly2589]

Love the german role-playing 10/10

[@SwanDiveASMR]

Thank you for your support 🙏

[@lemon3945]

No way you’re not actually German!!! The accent is spot on! I thoroughly enjoyed this video, had it as background noise while I was reading and it’s just perfect - thank you! 💖

[@SwanDiveASMR]

I'm so so glad to hear it. To me it's high praise that you played this in the background because I only do this on a second/third video playback or once I have a certain level of trust in a creator!

[@notmyfakenameplease]

50% pure comedy gold, 50% pure ASMR; 100% classic.

[@SwanDiveASMR]

It adds up!

[@B-goblins]

I never rewatch asmr videos but I’ve watched this one 6000 times

[@TheMegWrites]

I absolutely love this and your GDR video. She’s so serious. She’s fantastic. The part about the experiment for nonbinary people had me laughing, especially as a queer person 😂❤ THANK YOU!

[@SwanDiveASMR]

Right? I remember thinking it's cute that meditation centres thought separating men and women would stop people having sex! It took me while to realise that it's part of a pretty awful agenda. But we're here to relax so 😅 I'm glad you enjoyed this bit

[@Misty_Elyse_ASMR]

This was fantastic. The gong was priceless 😂 and your voice is SO relaxing. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@SwanDiveASMR]

Thanks Misty, much appreciated!

[@notmyfakenameplease]

"Gerhard" 😂😂😂😂😂

[@dobo9194]

She ist meine Lieblingspersön on KZbin. Brilliant work, thank you for this!

[@SwanDiveASMR]

Danke schön Dobo!

[@EresirThe1st]

I’m so astonished how good your accent is. You got the German r sounds perfectly!

[@SwanDiveASMR]

Thank you for saying so! It does feel oddly natural to do

[@mrawesomelivshere]

Your sense of humour feels so well placed and also subtle, its great! thanks for making these videos ☺️

[@SwanDiveASMR]

Thanks for your support and kind words 🙏

[@linlinn_png]

this reminded me of the silent retreat in Fleabag xD

[@SwanDiveASMR]

That was a good episode

[@becksharp5282]

Amazing and relaxing voice, but this video was so funny I had no hope of sleeping 😂

[@primtones]

Le Creuset lid: Am I a gong to you?

[@RebeccaEWebber]

Lentils in the same glass containers I have! I feel called out.

[@SwanDiveASMR]

Not gonna lie, I transferred the lentils from a less ostentatious container just for the video 😄

[@littlemanlittleguy]

loved listening to this and imagining all sorts of details about this retreat. its feels to me like salting your red lentils would be verboten because the flavour might inspire emotional outbursts

[@SwanDiveASMR]

You're in the right place then

[@anonymoussymposiumgoer]

I'm obsessed with the implications that these centers have accounted for nonbinary visitors, but not the possibility of same-sex attraction

[@ClariceHo]

I am living in Germany right now and I loveeee your German accent videos!!👏👏👏 Toll gemacht!

[@SwanDiveASMR]

Ah, that's great to hear. Thanks for watching!

[@cosmicwhispersasmr]

This was so fun and relaxing! I am ready for my meditation retreat! Loved your German accent too!

[@SwanDiveASMR]

Oh good! Have you been on any meditation retreats? I actually enjoy them once in a while in spite of this character 😂

[@cosmicwhispersasmr]

@SwanDiveASMR Nice! I havent yet. I know someone that hosts them. Next one is in Sedona to see the eclipse. But haven't been interested in going since they are a bit pricy. Maybe if I do my own. Heard the experiences are amazing.

[@SwanDiveASMR]

I get it completely. Now that you're a reiki master though you could go in exchange for a few services maybe? I used to teach on yoga teacher trainings that wete a bit like retreats when I wasn't working!

[@cosmicwhispersasmr]

@@SwanDiveASMR That's a great idea! I would do that if had the opportunity. That's awesome you you got to do that with the yoga teacher trainings. Sounds like an amazing experience and fun opportunity.

[@whitneyriddle1088]

I’m only 8 minutes in & already so relaxed 🤤 This laundry might have to fold itself or wait until later.

[@SwanDiveASMR]

I envy your organisational aptitude. Laundry doesn't really get folded here anymore

[@whitneyriddle1088]

@@SwanDiveASMR I have structured it so that folding one load of laundry, perhaps two small ones, in the morning is my “me “time of the day. I wait until after my two kids have had breakfast, I help them get dressed, and then send them to play outside while I take my coffee, sit down with a good show or in this case an ASMR video and tend to the laundry for about an hour. Then get on with the rest of our day.

[@whitneyriddle1088]

@@SwanDiveASMR Also, you should know that I pretty much had this on repeat all day yesterday! This is my favorite kind of Asmr 💜

[@SwanDiveASMR]

That sounds dreamy. The weather in London is only recently affording us garden time but the youngest won't be able to go out unaccompanied for a little while, so I'm looking forward to this kind of routine next year maybe

[@SwanDiveASMR]

I'm so glad to hear it

[@mattdeacon4218]

Watching this video was so much fun! Your accent skills are just amazing and Angela is a gem! Would you mind creating a POV roleplay treating the camera as your domestic cat and giving it personal attention?

[@SwanDiveASMR]

Thanks Matt! I'm not much of a cat person but if I can think of a variation of this that sounds fun, it will go on the list

[@mattdeacon4218]

@@SwanDiveASMR Thank you!

[@Kristiekins2]

This is hilarious, I love it.

[@whishup]

So hilarious and calming! I loved it ❤ I will take the terra cotta pot, please 🏺

[@SwanDiveASMR]

Please, be my guest!

[@Patsymd]

I love your videos so much. How you keep a straight face while you say these things is a true gift! Please do as many videos as you can-- you are a highlight.

[@SwanDiveASMR]

Thank you! I'll certainly do my best

[@ruidusborn]

This gives me big Waldorfschule vibes 😂💕

[@SwanDiveASMR]

That's not a bad idea for a future episode 😊

[@batwings2486]

If you’re receptive to a touch of feedback- I adored the vid and adore your videos! It also knocks me out super quickly, which is awesome. But sudden noises that are louder and different than everything else can be startling or wake someone up like with the gong. Just wanted you to know! Big fan.

[@SwanDiveASMR]

That actually occurred to me in the edit. I definitely feel the same way about other videos. It's hard to remember these things when you're in front the camera, but I'm going to bear it in mind. Thanks so much for the feedback, I really appreciate it

[@batwings2486]

Of course! You’re so original and I love your voice. Excited to see more from you :)

[@thenotoriousgryyn342]

Happy International Women's Day, I celebrate The Power of All The Voices of The Women Of ASMR 👍🌹

[@SwanDiveASMR]

Yes! Use your voices women! But not during the first nine days of the silent retreat

[@extremelyboredtatsumaki.495]

I love your videos! :3 do you do reqs?

[@SwanDiveASMR]

Thanks so much! I'm at full capacity just making one video a week at the moment, but if you have any ideas you are welcome to make suggestions for future videos

[@extremelyboredtatsumaki.495]

@@SwanDiveASMR That’s fair. ^^ would you like to try a roleplay req where you’re a babysitter for some annoying brat kids. They annoyed you too much, so you shrunk them down into gummy bear sizes to eat!

[@SwanDiveASMR]

That's so creative! Not really my wheelhouse but I can think of some asmr creators who might do this justice. Maybe @asmrer Tony who does some fabulous wicked characters

[@extremelyboredtatsumaki.495]

@@SwanDiveASMR Awe, I don’t mind if you do it just as practice. ^^

[@dazcaz8205]

Are you German? Because if you are not you nailed being German not just the accent lol Edit: very good video btw

[@SwanDiveASMR]

Thanks! I have German ancestry on my mother's side and recently I have been taking lessons. I'm glad the accent is convincing to you, that's a step in the right direction!

[@dazcaz8205]

​@SwanDiveASMR cool :) I'm irish so I've met lots of Germans being European and all and I have to say you've nailed German demeanour and cultural quirks such as being direct and the way they speak in general:)

[@SwanDiveASMR]

Aha! That's definitely what strikes me too. I did grow up in Holland which is culturally similar, in terms of directness. I'm still trying to figure out a fun Dutch character to portray one day
