What is soothing to one person, is anxiety inducing to another. It's as individual as what scents you like.

The sheer variety of these recordings just shows how diverse people's tastes can be. You have to sift through them until you find something that "clicks" for you.

I know a lot of it is personal taste, but most people generally find dentist role play and such stuff weird.

It depends a lot, too, on what you use ASMR for. I use it to help me fall asleep, so my primary criterion is someone who has a relaxing voice. I don't particularly care for all the scratching sounds, etc., nor can I relate to the medical-themed ones.

But as Frantic Frummie said, you have to kiss a lot of frogs. Plus, the most prolific ASMR artists generally have some you won't like and some you will. They try to cater to everyone. Here are a few from YouTube I've liked in general:

Fairy Char ASMR -- she does a lot of "doing your makeup" videos that feature soft talking. I guess I like the idea of having my makeup done more than I like the idea of a dentist visit!

ASMRista Fan -- this is an Israeli woman who has a wide variety of styles. My favorites are where she does arts and crafts while talking softly. My absolute favorite is one where she talks about sheep and reads a story in Ivrit. I'm out cold within minutes!

AmalZD -- My favorites are her Arabic accent videos.

The Honest Guys -- this is really more guided meditation than ASMR, but if you're attempting to relax for sleep or to relieve stress, they're very, very good.

ASMR Loopz -- these are videos from a variety of sources that have been curated on the basis of being unintentionally relaxing. Again, some will appeal to you; others won't.

Good luck!
