1984 Book 1 | Chapter 1 - Reading Behind Winston's Apartment (ASMR)

Hey friends! This video honestly took a horrible amount of time to edit, so I hope you enjoy. This is my first reading of 1984! I have taken the time to map out the entirety of the book and come up with settings for each chapter, so I hope you enjoy moving through this amazing work with me!

Nineteen Eighty-Four is public domain in Australia. This video is intended as a public service, to educate and entertain. To provide a relaxing and effective way of communicating one of the best works of literature to a target audience (being the ASMR audience).
I have decided to put a little more production value into this series. The first series I did on my channel was of Animal Farm, and to honour this tradition I thought it right to increase my efforts.

What does ASMR Mean?
Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR), sometimes auto sensory meridian response, is a tingling sensation that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine. A pleasant form of paresthesia, it has been compared with auditory-tactile synesthesia and may overlap with frisson.

ASMR signifies the subjective experience of "low-grade euphoria" characterized by "a combination of positive feelings and a distinct static-like tingling sensation on the skin". It is most commonly triggered by specific auditory or visual stimuli, and less commonly by intentional attention control. A genre of videos which intend to stimulate ASMR has emerged, of which over 13 million are published on YouTube
(Wikipedia, 2020).

Its basically a tingly and relaxed feeling you get, caused by certain cues we call in the community 'triggers'.
