Asking a Timid Vampire for Directions [Pt. 1][Slow Burn][Strangers to More][M4A][ASMR] 

@KateCantDraw bro is a bit of a nervous wreck hehe

@FluffyMochi PART 2 OUT TOMORROW, DONT MISS IT!! The piano made me so happy with the way it turned out there, I made it all detuned and weird. Hehe he’s sweet underneath it all

@doryann8178 sameeee :-:

@y2mino AA I'm just happy to be making more videos again!! Better make sure you don't miss the second part tomorrow then

@@tanukiaudios don’t worry sir!!! i would never

@racoonsinatrenchcoat come back tomorrow for more!!! Thank you for being here

@lyechii that sounds so awful omg I would freak outtt…I hope it makes a good story to tell! This is for sure more relaxing vibes thank you so much for listening

@tanukiaudios hehe, the delightful thing about being one too many fruity drinks under the table, my flatmates (who I had only known for an hour prior to getting sloshed) and I decided to go on a treasure hunt around the town, even tho i had definitely not been anywhere in the town that night 😌 I am now the keeper of a very blurry image of a gingerbread recipe stuck to the wall that was allegedly queen elizabeth I's favourite, and a 20 minute video of one of my aforementioned flatmates sobbing on the floor next to the kebab she dropped during our 3am endeavours. that video is most definitely my finest piece of cinematography, no doubt about that less fun part was having to do the walk of shame the next night to have the very pretty security lady give me the look™️ when I had to ask if my stuff had survived the night (which, thankfully, it had)

@lyechii Sounds like SUCH an adventurous evening actually, that's awesome. 20 whole minutes of sobbing over dropped food is so real, I think the rest of the night would be worth it just for that vid. You should try to make the cookies sometime, sounds tastyy hehe

@infinite101_ Omg I know, I've heard so many stale renditions of vampire stories from people...I did my best to make the idea my own, so I'm glad you enjoyed!! Hope to see you at the next one

@PippaNiNi The personality switch is EVERYTHING hehe. Not much time to wait, you've got this! Hope to see you in the premiere

@realitysucks8465 Yess I'm so bored of big scary vampire characters, I wanted to make him all sweet. Thank you!!

@_fruitloops Hehe I tried to throw in enough hints that made it obv there's a lil something different about this guy hehe. I had fun thinking about what makes him actually a vampire. More about that in the next vid though, hope to see you there :)

@@tanukiaudios 🫡

Yeesss! And also romania! (I grew up there and now I'm living in hungary) So I had to pause to process that hungary was mentioned then I abruptly realized that OMFG HE GOT TURNED IN ROMANIA. Like, that's a cool detail xd

@Catnonymouse I couldn’t leave it at that!!! Part 2 is coming tomorrow! I’m not sure what genre of vampire he is, I just gave him little vampire behaviors that made me happy hehe. Thank you so much for listening

@littleyana6243 aaaw thank you for your heartwarming comment

@oranger2136 Oooo that sounds fancy, hope the computer works so good, thanks for listening!!

@cx330_ BE THERE OR BE SQUARE >:)

@Bitterminty omg as am I, thank you so much for listening!!

@Yukki._. spooky month is approaching, all the vampires are coming out

@@tanukiaudios oh I forgot about Halloween 😨

@stella-qg6fr welcome back!! This vampire made me so happy to write, come back tomorrow to learn more about him :)

Thank you!!

@girthygear2498 Hey Girthy! Videos can always wait, they'll be here! Vampires can be heckin sick, I tried to make this guy my own. Y'know I think I might be able to survive not seeing the sun because I truthfully am more of a night person. Buuut sunsets are so pretty, I wouldn't wanna do without those. Hope your day is treating you well!

@@tanukiaudios The sun's way too cool for me to ever wanna give it up both sun rises and sets are super beautiful not that I usually see the sun rise! My day has been pretty good so far I hope you've been doing good yourself Tanuki!

@adeliiiiine soooon, so soon!

@sydneylynda ooo be excited it’s even longer, hope to see you in the premiere :)

@whibu so sorry to do that to you...

Can't wait for tomorrow 🤭👀

@Zarry_is_my_life omg don’t miss it, I’ll see you there :)

Ofc, expect me to go crazy 🤣

@halseul8833 Oh welcome!! I'm happy you found me, hope you enjoy the videos to come :)

@vroomvroomvroom889 I saw your first comment so I was surprised to see this one!! Ah thank you for saying so! Spoiler, there's an outro at the end of the next part where I talk a little about it but I've actually been picking at this idea for months haha. Had the initial idea of "you ask a stranger for directions at night and he turns out to be a vampire" like ages ago but I wasn't really sure where to take it up until a few days ago. I knew I wanted a vampire vid because that's so fundamental to VA channels but also I'm bored of the typical treatment of brooding, aloof, and seductive that vampires in fiction usually get. So I wanted to write this character to be distinct in his own way while still playing with some of the tropes, y'know? When I start writing scripts though, I start at that initial idea of a setup, and then I write a little outline for it. The first thing is to figure out the 'big moment' that the audio should build up to and then I kinda go backwards from there? But it varies usually. And after I get the skeleton together and start writing, the character changes and develops more details and usually I go back through and rearrange some points. It evolves as I go! Omg yes, speaking from firsthand, dialogue can be so hard to get right!! Especially with writing for like audio drama bc if you just say what's going on, that's just an audiobook and it's not as engaging. If I can find the sweet spot for who a character is and I vibe with them, they become super easy to write. Buuut otherwise it does NOT come naturally ha. Takes lots of effort to break through and actually get the story going the way I want it to, I'm sure you get how it goes hehe. More depth to come in the next one! It's quite a bit longer...hope you enjoy :)

@@tanukiaudios ah, thank you so much! i'm a little tired of the "brooding and seductive vampire" type too, so i'm a little glad that you took your character away from that stereotype and put your own kind of spin on him! making him a little more timid and not so outgoing and "dangerous", it's a nice change! i understand how you write it now, and honestly, it seems a little bit easier than the "improvise and then redraft" technique that i did for a while, heh! having a skeleton seems like you have something to lay back on, something to refer to. thanks for telling me! and yeah, i totally get how making way for the story to get through really is! it's definitely not as easy as people make it look! also i really like your outros, i will not lie. just hearing you talk for a little bit directly to us as a, sort of "refresher", i'd call it. more reason to be excited for tomorrow's video! thank you, tanuki, again, and i'll see you then! (sorry for rambling, but woah! i just re-listened to a little bit and i literally just noticed how the background music suddenly shifted and became a little more detuned when we got to that "big moment", i can't believe i didn't point it out before!)

@meesaxx Having a great one, thank you!!! I always do my best to make my videos worth your time :)

@adlesbiam eee he gets plenty more development in the next part, don’t miss it!!! Thank you for listening
