This was my highest fairy tale request, so here it is -
The Little Mermaid! Including occasional sound and vocal effects to immerse you into the story!
I really hope you like it. Some parts are more soft spoken than others, and some parts get a little louder, because I had to record at a few different times in the middle of the night. This was a rather daunting recording to edit, as it’s the longest one I think
I’ve ever recorded. I edited for at least 12 hours, and it's still not perfect, but I really hope it's good enough for you. I also experimented for the first time with some vocal effects, which I very much hope you like and umm, don’t dislike.
Regardless of how much I tried to have a completely quiet setting, there were times when I didn’t notice motors running or the computer fan on, so I hope it’s still cohesive enough for your ears to enjoy. All around, there's a lot of hoping.
I wanted to bring a different kind of magic to this story separate from the
Disney version (even though there is a nod to it somewhere), so I hope that comes through in this reading. The ending is a bit abrupt, but that’s how the story ends!
Haha I tried to make it as little abrupt as possible.
I was searching for Mermish language on the interwebs and couldn’t find a full language, just bits and pieces. So I then looked for
Elvish songs to incorporate into the story and happened to find a GORGEOUS song from an AMAZING channel that has all kinds of original Elvish songs. That’s so cool, isn’t it?! So I embellished a bit, and had mermaids singing in Elvish… because elves and mermaids are totally distant cousins, right? :P While I did sing the a'capella version in this video, all music and harmony credit belongs to the song composers, and I rearranged just a few lyrics to have it make sense with the context of the mermaids singing.

Lastly, I want to thank the wonderful people who reached out to me this weekend. I am having a really rough time in my personal life and your messages comforted me during a time when I’ve never needed comfort more.
Thank you.
I love you so freaking much. I say this a lot, but the
ASMR community changed my life. There isn’t a day, or an hour that goes by where I don’t think of my channel, or the awesome people I have met because of YouTube. Thank you, thank you, thank you. AG

ASMR can help provide relief from insomnia, depression, stress, and anxiety, and I really hope that I can help others to find more
peace in their day. However, I'm not a professional, and because of that, I want to at least
point you in the right direction if you’re looking for long term help for your anxiety and depression:
