MaryJLeeee is an Internet star who has got fame for her live-streams ASMR content on Twitch. ASMR stands for Autonomous sensory meridian response. She first gained a following on Twitch.tv while she was studying to become a dental hygienist in Jersey City, New Jersey. In 2017, she was banned for 24 hours. Before streaming took over her life, she used to live by the Ocean in New Jersey. She loves the water and ocean even though she’s a pretty bad swimmer. She used to go scuba diving and free diving a lot. She used to spearfish with her friends. She did a lot of rock climbing and fishing. She liked to spend a lot of time outside. She also likes hanging out in the sun with my little Puppy reading books and stuff. MaryJLeeee said she mostly listen to her own ASMR just because she’s always hanging out at her channel or editing her videos or something. But she watches other people’s ASMR to get ideas and inspiration and just to help relax.

MaryJLeeee on an interview gave a wide explanation on how she got into ASMR.

She said “When I saw it, I think my reaction was pretty much the same as everyone else’s.

It was kind of just like, what the heck is this?

It’s like the weirdest thing.

The person that I was watching had a mic with ears on it and it just looks wrong, you know?

But it was one of those things that I found myself continuing to come back to.

At first glance it was weird, but as I kept listening, it’s kind of helped me understand why people listen to it.

And then I decided, you know what, I’m really good at putting babies and animals to sleep.

I’ve just always been good at that since I was little.

So, I thought that I could try to make ASMR fit my own style and maybe I could help other people.

So yeah, I constructed my own makeshift bootleg.

mic and I started doing it at the end of 2017, but I went full time with ASMR last February.

So, February, 2018. I feel like when everyone starts, going full time is the dream. It was kind of like, oh man, I would die to have a thousand subs, you know what I mean? Like, last year before gifted subs were coming out, it was a hustle. It definitely was not expected.”

She said the difference between a person that’s good in ASMR and someone not good.

She said “Well, that’s a hard question because ASMR has such a wide range of people who do it.

Even like magazines, like The W do celebrity ASMR and it’s just whispering.

I don’t know if there’s a difference between someone who’s good at ASMR and bad.

I think being able to whisper for a long time is really important.

I know a lot of people who aren’t good whisperers by nature.

I didn’t realize it was a skill.

I think the purpose behind why people do ASMR is really important because you can almost feel it through them.

ASMR is kind of like music, sometimes you can feel it through the person’s emotion.

The same goes for ASMR.

I think the intention is really important.”

The way that ASMR is done on Twitch is definitely way different than on YouTube. On YouTube, it’s more like looking into the Camera. They don’t really use mics that you can see. It’s more about the personal attention aspect of it. Which is really interesting because she does sound focused ASMR, trying to get people to not focus on what they’re seeing or what she’s doing, but more on what they’re hearing and trying to help them relax.
