How To Make an ASMR Video

What you need

Soft paintbrush, crinkly paper, small bowl of dried rice or beans, clean glass or cup, soft cloth, adult supervision required

Step 1

Ask an adult for permission and for help to set up your recording time and place.

Step 2

Gather the materials listed and put them on a small table in front of you.

Step 3

Make the room quiet by turning off noisy devices and closing the door.

Step 4

With the adult's help, prop the phone or tablet on a stable surface so its microphone points toward your hands.

Step 5

Choose 4 gentle sounds to try like brushing the brush softy tapping the glass rustling the paper and stirring the rice.

Step 6

With the adult’s help, do a quick test sound for each object while listening so you can hear how loud and close to the microphone you should be.

Step 7

Record a short 15–30 second take for each chosen sound one at a time keeping your hands steady and movements slow.

Step 8

Record a few soft whispers or gentle spoken lines between some sounds to add a calming voice layer.

Step 9

Listen to your takes and pick the best parts to keep.

Step 10

With an adult, use a simple editing app to trim and join the best clips into one short ASMR video and save it.

Step 11

With the adult's help, upload and share your finished ASMR video on DIY.org.

What can we use if we don't have a phone or tablet to record the ASMR video?

Use a small digital camera, a laptop's microphone, or an adult's smartphone and follow the step 'prop the phone or tablet on a stable surface so its microphone points toward your hands' to make sure the microphone faces the sounds.

My recordings sound too quiet or have background noise—what should I try?

During the 'do a quick test sound' step, move the microphone closer to the object, close doors and turn off noisy devices as instructed, and if sounds remain quiet use the editing app to raise volume or trim louder parts.

How can I adapt the activity for different ages?

For younger kids do one adult-assisted 15–30 second take of a single gentle sound like stirring the rice or brushing the brush, while older kids can choose more sounds, record extra whisper lines, and do their own trimming in the editing app.

How can we make the ASMR video more interesting or personal?

Try adding themed props (like a decorated brush or colored rice), record different microphone angles during the 'test sound' step for stereo effects, and use the editing app to layer a soft voice track before uploading your finished ASMR video to DIY.org.

Facts about audio recording for kids

🎧 ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response — some people feel a pleasant tingle from soft sounds and whispers.

🤫 Whispering and soft speaking are two of the most popular ASMR triggers used by creators.

🎙️ Binaural or stereo recording techniques help ASMR sounds feel like they're moving around your head.

📱 Many beginner ASMR creators record with just a phone or tablet and simple household objects — always with adult permission and guidance!

💤 Millions of viewers use ASMR videos to relax, reduce stress, or help them fall asleep.

How do I make an ASMR video with my child?

Choose a quiet room and pick a few safe, soft objects to record (brushes, crinkly paper, water in a jar). Set a phone or tablet on a stable stand, enable Do Not Disturb, and test volume levels. Have the child sit close to the microphone and practice gentle sounds and whispers. Record short clips, review them together, and do simple edits with a parent’s help. Always supervise and get adult permission before sharing.

What materials do I need to make a simple ASMR video?

You’ll need a phone or tablet with a recorder or simple editing app, a tripod or stable surface, and headphones for playback. Safe sound props include soft brushes, crinkly paper, clean jars with rice or water, a wooden spoon and ceramic bowl, and microfiber cloths. Keep small or sharp items away, have adult supervision, and use a quiet room with low background noise. Optional: a small external mic for clearer sound.

What ages is making an ASMR video suitable for?

Making ASMR videos is best for kids aged about 6 and up with steady attention and parental supervision. Younger children (3–5) can join in for sensory play but need hands-on adult help for recording and handling props. Teens can handle more editing and privacy choices. Always tailor complexity and safety rules to your child’s maturity, and never let them post content without a parent’s approval.

What safety tips and benefits are there for kids making ASMR videos?

Safety: supervise recordings, avoid small or sharp props, keep volume low to protect ears, and don’t reveal personal info or locations. Use private or unlisted upload settings and get parental approval before sharing. Benefits: ASMR practice can boost listening skills, calmness, creativity, and fine motor coordination. It also encourages confidence in speaking softly and basic media literacy when kids learn simple recording and editing under adult guidance.
