EPIC RAP BATTLES OF WHISPERY


A while back, Dan Bull messaged Ally and I with an ASMR rap battle proposition.  We were so on board because we're fans of Dan, and because we thought it would be really funny to whisper battle. Dan wrote all the lyrics based on our content, and we got to poke fun at ourselves---and at the tendency for some to try and pit us (and other ASMR content creators) against each other in the ASMR sphere, when we're actually great friends. We laughed so much working on this project.
You'll notice that our delivery is quiet and not in time with the lyrics. Dan didn't want us to rap his words---he wanted them delivered like we would in our videos. We did SOOOOOO many takes because it was super hard not to actually rap the lyrics. You may also notice that we start out whispering and get progressively more soft spoken as we go---that was Dan's idea, and it's a subtle detail that cracks me up.  Dan is REALLY smart, very kind, and of course, hilarious.  It was a pleasure working with him and getting to know him.  He's awesome!
Will we be appearing in Madison Square Garden anytime soon? Noooope hahahahaha. But we had a lot of fun working together, and we hope you guys can see the obvious and the subtle humor in the collab, and it makes you smile or laugh too. This was Dan's way of introducing his audience to ASMR, and I am very proud to have been able to be a part of it.

Give yourself a break?


If you click the Pandora Feather link, you will be taken to a compilation vid featuring me singing a bunch of different songs over the period of 3-4 hours (the vid is less than 10 mins long, don't worry).  Yesterday I decided to leave my Yeti on for hours while I worked. I listened to Pandora, and this is the result of work + music. I am posting it in the hopes it makes you smile, maybe laugh, possibly cringe, but mostly that it brings you some kind of motivation to let go from time to time and do something fun (it doesn't have to be belting out songs in your house) to give yourself a bit of levity and joy. Sometimes it's really easy to forget how to give yourself a break every now and then and enjoy yourself.
