✨The Reason I'm Anonymous✨ [Thank You For Respecting My Privacy]
🕑 Added 2020-11-27 22:14:03 +0000 UTCDue to a large number of messages on the subject, I felt it might be helpful to share my thoughts.
Quite a number of people have wanted me to share my real self. Whether that be a face reveal, me speaking as myself (out of character), or wanting to establish a relationship. With the greatest possible respect, I cannot do any of these.
The fact of the matter is you guys are here for Teacup. In whatever form she takes: girlfriend, MILF, tomboy, warrior queen, etc, you come here for a voice that helps you escape and pulls you into the center of a story.
That is what I am offering. Teacup is what I am offering.
I'm anonymous because I do not wish to put my real self on the internet. I'm a voice actress who plays characters. The very real, ordinary, uninspiring me then comes off the internet and looks after her family.
I absolutely adore this job and I hope to continue it for as long as I can. But I also want to make it clear what I'm offering. I offer SFW & NSFW stories.
I'm sure this is all absolutely obvious, but I just wanted to make my feelings clear.
Thank you for making me feel confident and comfortable at work.
All the best,
Tea

I would like to know you only because you have helped me through tough times. And I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you. But knowing you would ruin the experience. I just hope your doing okay, and stay fine. And if you ever need our help you ask, because I would love nothing but to help you the way you have helped me!

One of the things I worry about for some of these ASMR actresses is that there will occasionally be that one weirdo that becomes obsessed with you. Tries to figure out your real identity/address/etc. Stay anonymous.
Gator
Totally understandable. Although I think it’d be cool if we could get an audio of you doing something with no character. Like reading a book or just randomly talking about stuff
Drinking_Buddy
I offer a compromise, you keep your anonymity and keep making the content you and us enjoy. However, if you ever decide to walk away and not ever come back, that you want to do something else and no longer make audios. Then leave with a face reveal on the final post, for all your patrons that have supported you through all of this.
Trygveblacktiger
In short just make your content.... unless ofc it may harm your mental or phycial health. And im happy
Trygveblacktiger
I mean its true. I dont care just. Take care of your self and make your wounderfull very wholesome degenerate content and there ie peace in the world. Who you are,look like or mean dosent mean anything to me.
TeacupAudio
ABSOLUTE BANGER OF A COMMENT :D
Trygveblacktiger
I mean i came here for your voice.... who you are dosent interest me what you say does.
Joey
Tea, I am here only for tea, I want you to remain anonymous. I have a brain that can imagine. I love the crazy, silly, kind, loving sides of you. Please continue to remain silent and let us live in our own worlds, if we choose. This is your career, I 100% respect you and your decision. Thank you so much for what you are doing.
Joseph Brown
I'll always respect your wishes Tea. We appreciate the work you put into your audios. Maybe thumbnail printouts with autographs could be a thing in the future. ;)
Brutus
I completely understand and respect it tea. I hope all is well with ya. Thank you for everything ya do for us. It is very appreciated. :)
To be honest I prefer the mystery not knowing and we should respect that you sont want to reveal your identity
Lederp
With the way people can be online as well its probably the smartest move someone in your position can make. Wishing you and the family the best tea.
Respect it’s not only for your safety cause there are some fucked up people in this world but as well it’s for our benefit cause if you reveal yourself it takes some of that fantasy away we can imagine you in our own way to connect more with the RPs
Mike Taylor
Without going into too many details, one of Tea's fellow VA's locked down their Twitter account today because of some nutbar. That's reason enough to stay private.
I mean , why would u reveal urself to anyone? We are first and foremost for the asmr exp and some fantasy rp u provide to us . I guess some guys can't appreciate what u offer and want something else .. there is a plenty of other providers of similar content who reveal themselves. I get ur privacy cause it protects your persona and everything around it
UnsightlyComa
I totally understand. I'm super iffy about putting any direct info out there, too. Everyone has a right to privacy and none of us have a right to invade that.
AudioFreak
You should add this as your mission statement at the top of your page! " you guys are here for Teacup. In whatever form she takes: girlfriend, MILF, tomboy, warrior queen, etc, you come here for a voice that helps you escape and pulls you into the centre of a story"
Jakub Juchniewicz
Completely understandable :)
Bella
We’re cool with that. I’d like to keep myself anonymous too if I’m doing this. I’ve heard there’s one asmr artist did a face reveal once, then she got some stalker issues going. She had to take down her face reveal vid. Definitely wouldn’t want that to happen to Tea. :(
All with any sense knew that Tea. Keep up the good work.
SoloJustus
I respect that 👏
Illicit_Action
Personal Security is a thing, especially in the medium you've chosen, para-social relationships are a phenomenon that exists, and can have very real and very tragic consequences (remember Christina Grimmie?) I, for one, am glad that you choose to keep yourself and your family safe. Anonymity is the best security. Keep on keeping on Tea, stay safe.
Mika Koverola
You do you (though I'm pretty sure uninspiring is not a word describing any facet of you)
Anthony Giggie
You do you, Tea! I really enjoy all of your ASMRs! Some of them help me to smile, and others help me too relax. And on occasion, a few have help me to be happy and feel comforted.
Joshua Workman
It's okay, Tea. I wouldn't want you doing anything you don't think is right for you. It's your choice and I respect it.
I think it’s great that you are anonymous. It’s your personal choice. I love your characters, keep up the good work!
I support and respect your anonymity, this is your job and therefor it is your prerogative in how you want to express yourself. That being said would you ever consider recording yourself reading books and such? I admit that I would like to see how it felt listening to them while relaxing or working.
Nosscheech
👍❤️ Thank you for doing what do for us Tea.
Morgann Cedro
As much as I am curious about your outside endeavors from here, I absolutely respect that. I much enjoy the mystery :) It's fun (at least for me) to try and put pieces together and put together what you MIGHT look like. No one should feel pressured to show themselves to the world. Never know what'll happen. It'd be cool if you would do it, but on your call. Have a wonderful day :)
You do you, i just want to fall asleep in peace and you help me alot. Thanks you!😊
Peter Lervik
Human nature causes people to be curious about who you really are. However, I'm completely content with enjoying the one sided relationship with Tea (how abusive you make it is a topic for another day) but its how I prefer it. My like only thing is when (not if, because if is a bad standard) you hit 1 million subs it wouldn't hurt. Then again, its your call not mine.
BC_Animus
Don't show your face, or anything you don't want to - do NOT feel pressured. Real fans will love and respect you regardless. And fake fans... don't deserve special treatment. Besides... not saying the real Tea would disappoint, but, sometimes a bit of mystery can fuel the imagination, making the fantasy so much more interesting and... real.
Bushido Blade
It's like Daft Punk while curiosity may makes us wonder what they look like at the end of the day it would ruin the mystique. You became a voice actress to reveal yourself through your art. That's all we need to know
I understand curiosity but it’s more fun to imagine. Movies are nice but books are more stimulating and interesting, same thing here
Lunar Reiji
There's always a real person behind the screen. Present yourself how you want Tea, we're rooting for you.
CynicalCrisco
You go Tea!
Ocean Clouds
show booba
Val
Also knowing the person behind the voice would ruin the illusion for some people
Scarida Ghostly
I'll never stop being curious, but I'll never let my curiousity breach someone's privacy. Also your anonymity allows my imagination to create a different look for each of your characters. ☺️🖤
Saint
To quote a good friend, “You do you, boo.” Thank you for everything that you do!
Thor Odinson
Anybody ever wonder why masked characters have always been so popular? The Lone Ranger, The Mandalorian, and Boba Fett just to name a few? The answer is simple, the magic is in the mystery. Once you know, the mystery goes away, and so does part of the magic.
Yeah, staying anonymous is the right call in my opinion. It's what I would do. You never know how severe the potential consequences of revealing your identity online could be.
VeRG1L_47
I, for sure don't want to know, Tea's real name/likeness (or god's forbid location). This information could make things difficult if not ruin everything for her and us too. So anonymity is mandatory here. And we all should respect that for Tea's and our own sake
The Real Realest Steve M.D
Thank you for talking about this, you have the right to keep your life outside of voice acting private and I respect that you want to keep it that way. No matter whether you did or didn't I still follow you for the amazing content you create <3
Nathan Erickson
You can't close Pandora's box once it's opened. While I'm sure we would all love to meet the person behind the Tea, It's understandable that you'd want to have some professional distance. Alas... it is not to be! Woe is us! (I kid).
Zeta
Very understandable. I’d also value my privacy if I was in your shoes
Elijah King
🙌🏽
Phoenix Brave Hideki
Thats understandable Tea. No problem with you keeping your privacy.
TeacupAudio
And that's exactly how it should be :)
Phazin Kine
Respect.
Jeremy Knight
That's fine. I think people ask this because they want to know the person behind the voices. Dangerous ASMR goes out of character mostly on Patreon and Discord while she keeps her personal life private.
LadyMaria
I write this with the greatest of respect and it may come off as harsh or callous, but I don't come here for you. I come for Tea. I come for the escape at the end of the day. I come to try and get to sleep at night (Thanks insomnia.) I come for the fantastic characters that you voice. Whether that be a queen, a superhero or the girl next door. Of course I will like and support the uplifting wholesome messages you post too. They make me smile. Your audios make me smile. That's what I pay for and that's why I support you. Thanks for everything, Tea. Keep being you.
John Folmer
You are a fantastic and lovely human being no matter what, and so if we get to see you as Teacup then that's perfectly a-okay! I can presume everyone here supports you (else how could they see the post XD) and would all wish you immense success on and off line. Keep being yourself and that's all we can really ask!!
I'll admit that I would like to see the face behind the voice but I can see why you would be uncomfortable with doing so. You just keep doing you and we will continue to enjoy the content that you put out!
cosmic clownfish
Honestly it makes it more emersive in my opinion. There isn't a face attached to the voice in my head. Every story has an entirely different image in my mind. Also, privacy is hard to come by as an individual now days, if you have a fan base I'm sure it gets worse. I get that people get curious, but honestly they shouldnt pressure you or anyone else to do a face reveal or anything like that. Just respect the creators' decision.
Levi
I understand. And if I never hear you're real voice I can continue to picture you having a thick Welsh accent
You're entitled to your privacy just as much as we are
lordbutano
Perfectly understandable Tea
David Frey
That's perfectly fine. While we would be happy to see or find out about the real you, we're more than happy with you being a voice actress. Personally, I used to have a job that required my anonymity, so I get why you do what you do.
Joey Smith
I believe we (the collective (china cabinet?) of teacups) support you in any decision you make about being and remaining anonymous. It's not only safer for you with the possibility of stalkers, but also your right to privacy. Keep doing what you do and we'll support you all the way through. 😘🤗
Frohawk
As you've said this is all absolutely obvious, but if you feel the need to tell us then just to confirm back that is absolutely fine. I can only speak personally but I don't expect anything from you and the things you do are amazing. And I think you're being much too harsh on yourself with the ordinary and uninspiring comments, we're all great in our own ways even when we're just ourselves.
Mike Taylor
Yeah, I've heard a few horror stories from YouTubers personally about fans crossing lines. Tea needs to be able to live her life with the same level of privacy we are accorded.
Hellhound lover
This is why I always avoid discords or lifestreams of asmr artists. It breaks the escape of the stories and audios.
Jacob Griffith
Smart of you to stay anonymous, for sure.
Shawn L
Subscribing to your Patreon was the best decision I've made all year. Going back through your audios has really helped with depression due to covert. I hope you will continue to create audio RPs for some time!
Kit Riley
I completely understand, Tea. I personally want to keep my identity protected to the best of my ability too as I recognize the high price of fame. So no worries. :) You do you and we'll keep enjoying your work. 😊
Tabris
Happy just to have teacup so I can respect that
Alex
You have every right to your privacy and I fully support you in keeping it. You are candid with us when you need to be and support us immeasurably with you work. It's right that you keep the other side of yourself for your family and friends. As recent events have proven, we'll support you through any challenge.
16BitYeti
The internet is a scary place, it’s very reasonable to want to stay anonymous. As an actor, you portray roles and scenarios, they aren’t past experiences, just stories. I remember one video where everyone kept asking ‘are you okay?’ I’m like ‘dood, it’s a story, they’re fine!’ Stay safe Tea, and keep being awesome!
Meadiocracy
Glad that's what you chose. As much as I would like to give every subscriber be they a Patron or on YouTube the benefit of the doubt the realist in me can't. If Tea showed the real her I can assure you some would go further than listening to the audios. Not to mention with a face reveal your idea of what the characters look like becomes distorted now they are all her real face not something you conjure up. Anonymity is the best course of action for her.
Brooms17
We appreciate everything you do. :) What you're offering is what we enjoy. :) What's best for you is what's best for us.
Mike Taylor
Understood.
Nicpix
That would be an absurd request for anybody here to make
Respect. At least you dont dance around the subject like "oh yeah maybe one day but for now no." You've laid out your intentions and dont plan on changing them it seems and at least we know
BATZY_66
I can respect that
CurrentlyEatingPies
Every compliment I have for Tea is also for /REAL NAME HERE/. I can't love Tea without loving /REAL NAME HERE/ by proxy.
Handsome Squidward Clause
Bet your absolutely beautiful, but I think we can all respect your privacy and desire to remain anonymous. Thanks Tea for everything.

Understandable, I’ll gladly respect your privacy :)
As far as I know, youre name is Tea and you're great, thats all I need.
bag
The QUEEN has spoken, and she has every right to remain anonymous
JT
I love your Teanomity! You’re like one of those multi flavored Tea box all delicious flavors!
Mattie
We respect you and your privacy :) but I bet you’re a great friend/family member irl ☺️
Alex
I'm glad that you're anonymous. It helps put whatever face I wish to on the recordings that you make oh so well. Honest to goodness I prefer the anonymity. Probably why I like anime ASMR then quote-unquote real life ones.
Tony West
You gotta do what's best for you. You don't owe us anything in regards to your personal life. While the curiosity is there, boundaries are far more important.
Camilo Iribarren
We totally understand and respect it. There is no reason why we should force you to reveal your physical self. Your side as Teacup is all we need
Dalton Remy
I'm cool with that and respect that. I kinda prefer you stay anonymous anyhow. It's more fun to imagine a character with your voice rather then just picture you yourself talking.
Sparkytepig
By all means, please protect yourself and your family by staying anonymous, Tea.
Eclipse
Of course your feelings are valid if you want to stay anonymous stay anonymous I don't care I would do the same thing if I was in your place
Jmann1892
Lies. The real reason she doesn't reveal herself is that our human minds cannot comprehend her true Eldritch Form
Binta Anderson
Understandable. I respect your wishes.
probably for the best, if you were in an anime as a voice actress, we'd know it was you. But still, best if you stay anonymous.
Viltaryn
Your amazing Tea never forget that 💙🌹💛
BlackStarPsych0
Work\Life balance. Most important thing
Neil Winter
I'm sure you're just as lovely in real life too, Tea. I completely understand your logic though
And we respect that whole heartedly. ❤
Lemonfiti
You and me both Tea.
<3
June
Thank you
Jonathan Gonzalez
You got it boss
