Sweeney Todd ASMR | Barbershop Roleplay with Shaving Sounds (No Singing)

Time for a binaural ASMR shave at Sweeney Todd’s completely safe and reputable barbershop on Fleet Street!
I think this ASMR roleplay has been requested for going on two years now, so I thought I’d finally cut to it and slice up an edit. There’s no singing in it (ha), but you can expect a low, intimidating London accent along with very up-close personal attention and shaving sounds, as well as mic scratching, brushing, and threatening ear to ear whispers (with some unfortunate ambient noises - apologies!). Timestamps below - and enjoy!

🎙 What is ASMR? 🎧
ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) is synaesthesia of the soul. It’s a relaxing feeling, it’s a tingling down the spine, or it’s simply a sleep aid. Whether it’s being ‘held’ by someone you have confidence in, or ‘looked after’ by someone with authority, or just feeling ‘safe’ with someone you trust, it uses audio-visual triggers to enable you to let go of your worries and stresses - even just for a bit.
📽 What is FPC? 🎞
FPC (first person cinema) takes all the relaxing elements of ASMR but has much more of a focus on immersion and the suspension of disbelief. It’s kinda like being the main character in your own short movie, with popular figures you know and love, or entirely created worlds - just for you. There won’t be any visible mics or traditional triggers in these videos, and they will seem more unintentional than the usual ASMR videos - but they are unique and relaxing experiences designed to transport you to different places, worlds, and times.
Disclaimer: This video is intended for relaxation. Any views, opinions, or advice expressed is purely for the purpose of entertainment, and to induce tingles through ASMR. These videos are not a substitute for traditional medicine, therapy, or any other professional medium, and should not be treated as such! Take all the advice with a pinch of salt, and certainly don’t take it to heart. That being said, please enjoy them, benefit from them, and hopefully get those warm, tingly feelings. Oh, and it’s not for kids.

“The beauty of barberism” Nice play on words

[@bethendresen9070]

I know Arcane was awhile ago but I think you would make an astounding Silco. Talking about a job or giving someone a talking to. ♥️

[@coolfool4950]

I think Jim and ER probably the top two most creative asmr makers when it comes to roleplays. They do things i don’t think most people would think of doing.

[@SusieLegionDBD]

I agree, Jim and Uncle E should collab!

[@clintbeastwood5116]

You should check out MadeinFrance ASMR. He's creative and his production value is off the charts.

[@this80sgeek]

Love ER!

[@thomasthebo1750]

On the real!

[@MrDuarte22]

Shoutout to Phoenician Sailor and Atlas ASMR too

[@riambratelarn1718]

So first, voice is so spot on I didn't even miss the singing. Second, love the tingles, metal on leather reminds me of my grandfather when he would shave, the sheer anticipation of the razor "slipping" had my heart rate up (in a good way), the overall ambiance with the lighting and color scheme. Third, merch idea, I would so buy a tee shirt that reads "I survived Sweeny Todd's chair and got a pie!" with your visage. Just saying. As always, I love the work and the effort you put into these videos. Thank you for sharing your time with us and, as always, with permission, lots of hugs to you 🤗🤗🤗

[@LisaEHerzog]

Love the merch idea! ☀️☀️☀️

[@RoseKoneko]

Would definitely support the channel with this shirt.

[@alainaheacock8731]

Looks like gary oldman.. yummy

[@luriddream]

Copyright lol

[@pandamonium4212]

Anyone else get the feeling Sweeney Todd just gave Jack the Ripper a REALLY close shave? Just me? 🤔💁🏼‍♀️ This is exactly how I pictured Sweeney Todd - intimidating and menacing but somehow makes you believe you’re at ease and relaxed, even with a freshly sharpened razor at your throat (and definitely no singing lol) You never disappoint Jim. Bloody brilliant as usual. Edit: (like, 4 months later) I take it back. Not Jack. Someone… a little more artistic perhaps? 🤫😉 Ahh the dots that connect in the late insomnia hours 😏

[@FFDilemma]

Sees Sweeney Todd: 👀 🙂 Sees (No Singing): 🤔 That wasn't something I wanted until I was told I couldn't have it.

[@ausomeaspie]

I know Right! I would loved to have heard Jim singing, "These are my friends!"

[@firelily15]

He could have maybe hummed

[@FFDilemma]

I see it because they are written words in the title of the video...

[@moodydunmer910]

I watched Sweeny Todd for the first time not too long ago and loved it, so this? This is going to be absolutely awesome

[@kunio_doppo5358]

Sweeney Todd is top tier! Can’t wait to take a mid-day nap placing full trust that you won’t slice my throat haha. Also! If you are at all familiar with Repo: The Genetic Opera I think you would make an amazing Grave-robber. It would be amazing if you did an ASMR video as him and explain to us about Zydrate and get us ready for surgery 💉

[@little_changeling]

I totally agree, the grave robber was my favorite character

[@riambratelarn1718]

I agree. When I first started watching his videos, I thought Grave Robber would be perfect. Also, for the Dragonlance D&D nerds, Raistlan Majere. With his lovely soft-spoken voice, he'd be perfect.

[@marialflores95]

THIS. I 100% agree!

[@kristinLastName]

(SURGERY!) Agree, agree. Wouldn’t need to sing. Low voice. Great style and swagger. Skulls a plenty. (?) Potential for neat steampunky build for props-gotta explain how the zydrate gun works, right? 😄

[@genera1013]

Ooooo imagining the zydrate song, but spoken in his voice!

[@4GamingPaws]

This is something I've always wanted, yet never knew I actually needed.

[@RinaAudio]

I haven't watched this film in such a long time you captured his character so good. This is wonderful Jim. 😊

[@kateg.3408]

I was literally watching Jim’s other barber video yesterday and it made me want to go watch Sweeney Todd so I bought it and watched it last night. Your timing is impeccable

[@JesseHOH]

I’m in a school performance in 6-ish weeks and it’s Sweeney Todd! I’m playing Judge Turpin! It’s honestly been a blast rehearsing throughout the last few months. This is my new fav ASMR video!

[@Bookgurl656]

It's actually really funny, I watched Sweeny Todd recently, and I literally thought "Jim should do an ASMR of this, he would be perfect for this!!" XD . It's such a coincidence to see you do this. Please keep up the good work!

[@djandr2830]

LETS FUCKING GO IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG

[@LightningPro11]

Im an actor that is in the rehearsal process for a production of sweeney todd so i searched this out of plain curiosity if anyone had done this yet. And of course your the only one. Im not shocked at all. Sweeney todd barber asmr. Its perfect. Jim your recreation of depps sweeney is spot on. The lighting, the costume, the makeup, the wig. All of it. Spot on. Phenomenal work sir 🙏🏻

[@All_Your_Fandom_Needs]

TinglesmithASMR has done one as well and I think it's pretty good, definitely more relaxing for me anyways

[@LightningPro11]

@@All_Your_Fandom_NeedsIll check it out! Thanks!

[@vamp_germ]

How do you manage to perfect the voice for all these characters? It's insane

[@terri-lynn5045]

I let out a little involuntary gasp upon seeing this upload- it’s on my list of favourite movies! The colour scheme really adds to the atmosphere & the little pop of red is a nice touch too- wonderful! 😊

[@teejee376]

me too!!

[@brycemaners2517]

Jim! I recently stumbled across the movie, "Gattaca." The plot is essentially about a world where your potential in life is dictated by your genetics, and if you aren't born with good genetics then no company or organization wants to hire you because they don't believe you are worth the time or effort to train. Anyway, there is one guy determined to change his future by faking his identity so he can become an astronaut. In order to do that, he has to gain the help of a "broker" that will pair him up with an individual of higher tier genetics so that he may assume his identity. I believe you could do an amazing job roleplaying this broker. Anyway, awesome video as always, and thanks for all the work!

[@ladyliberty417]

So lovely that I survived the shave, whew😬! Sweeney could be a good friend to have, I think ? The performance is chefs 😘 kiss and dark humor resonates these days,yes??

[@bigd4746]

Jim, You really delivered on this character! Terrifying, but still so intriguing. Loved the touch of the red scarf!

[@h.j8496]

I really need more Sweeney Todd asmr, this video has become my comfort asmr. These are amazing 👌

[@ItsameArtic]

*the smol is concern, but frozen from being spooked*

[@maximusw01]

If I was directing a remake of Sweeney Todd, I would cast you in this role!

[@rebeccamorgan6271]

Voice and acting/mannerisms are on point as always. Great touch with the pop of red around the neck. And with the audacity to be relaxing on top of everything else. 🤯

[@Acehigh-Jenkins]

“You should have got bananas, it was The Strand after all!” Awesome video all round! You are so talented! Thank you!

[@ravennalovecraft421]

Uu, you never miss with these themes; this film was great, and so is the play♡♡ Can't wait to relax to this after work~

[@huntaway]

Absolutely brilliant. You always capture that *spark* that really makes a character themselves. I also adore the mixture of soft spoken and whispering. Thankyou for all you do!

[@LisaEHerzog]

This has to be the perfect combination, Jim and “ Barbarism” . I loved it!☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

Just when I think I couldn’t love you more, you upload a Sweeney Todd roleplay, and on my birthday at that! 😃😄💇🏼‍♀️❣️

Holy smokes I forgot I was watching ASMR and just started singing sondheim to myself. This was masterful also so surprised by the end lol. (To the tune A Little Priest) Have some ASMR. It's the best by far. Seasoned with various noises and whispered voices from afar, much on par, with flavors to make you feel your a Czar!

Your use of lighting is really great, on top of it all

You are very well suited to the character, and your editing is superb. Your color stories are always on point. Well done. I’ll pass on the pie, though.

[@kristinLastName]

Lovely time! Happy to have survived! ☺️ Sweeney Todd (the musical) has been a favorite of mine since high school and sparked in me an interest for penny dreadfuls and Victorian ghost stories/horror. I enjoyed all the little details and definitely the whisper. Good rationale for ear-to-ear! Interesting that Todd would use both the strop and the whetting stone-the finest for His Majesty, and the quotidian for Todd’s working blade?

[@riannejohnstone]

omg this is so good

Ah yes one of my favorite musicals turned into asmr 😍

[@kristinLastName]

If I had substantial facial hair, I would 100% make a special trip to a swanky tonsorial parlor and get a hot towel shave with a straight razor. Btw shave soap in a jar or puck is 1000% better than the stuff in a can. Plus you can make fun percussive sounds whilst whipping up the lather. :3
