i prefer to listen before going to sleep, while reading manga or fanfics. although, there were times i had to listen while doing paperwork/assignments on a time crunch 😭😭 weirdly enough, it helped me focus entirely on my tasks

It's amazing that you can actually focus on your assignments while listening to otome audio. I tried it and failed 😅
 
I usually close my eyes and listen to Otome CDs in bed before sleeping. On weekends, when I listen during the day, I close the blackout curtains and darken the room as much as possible, haha. I can understand Japanese to some extent, so I usually listen with my eyes closed without subtitles! helps you focus on your voice and makes it much easier to imagine it😄

That is really true otome audio dedication! 😂
Honestly, blackout curtains + high-end headphones + bedtime audio is top-tier self-care.

I tried to listen when I was doing work and it was too stimulating HAHAHA

So I stick to listening right before I fall asleep, completely in the dark. It helps with the imagining as well!

I actually do! My brain is usually way more focused on the CD than on whatever I'm reading or playing 😄

Most of them (pretty much everything I've ever listened to) I listen to before bed, so I guess I'm Team Immersion :unsure:
Though I rarely finish them. Always end up starting the episode over from the beginning the next night anyway 😭
Almost never listen while doing other stuff because Drama CDs actually require some concentration. I tried it once and understood absolutely nothing. I could only tell like, "Oh, the spicy scene is here" :oops:

Yes, that is exactly the problem of team *unable to multitask* 😅 We cannot force our brains to split in two to do two things, that need us to focus, at the same time.

Really? I tried listening while working too, but once it got to the R-18 parts, I couldn't focus on my work anymore 😂
 
I do both, actually.
Sometimes I listen while doing something else, and other times I listen while lying in bed before going to sleep.
When I listen while doing other things, it's usually something I've heard before or something I started listening to but wasn't quite sure about.
When I listen before bed, I usually end up falling asleep halfway through, so I always listen to it for several days in a row before going to sleep.

I also like to listen to it before going to bed with eyes closed for full immersion. If I listen to it while doing something else, I often lose track of what is going on and I can't really follow the story.
I'd like to finish it all in one night so I get the full story and experience, but I always fall asleep so I'll have to repeat the same cd many times until I finish.

I always turn off the lights and close my eyes before I listen. It's even more thrilling because it makes me imagine things when I close my eyes 😺 Stimulating my imagination helps me immerse myself more, and it floods me with dopamine

Typically, I listen to them before I go to bed as I find it calming as long as the VAs is not shouting at me too. I've tried to listen while playing games, but then I start messing up in them, so I stopped fast and now I know I can't multitask with them either.

I'm pretty picky about what I like, so I usually give a CD a first listen while multitasking. If I end up liking it, I'll listen to it again when I'm going to sleep.
I find listening while playing puzzle games on my phone works best for me😆

I'm a lot like you in that regard—I'm pretty picky when it comes to otome drama audio. So, whenever I find one that really suits my taste, I like to listen to it while lying in bed with my eyes closed, just to fully immerse myself in the story 🤭

Definitely Team Immersion! 🙋‍♀️💕 I love lying in bed, closing my eyes, and getting completely lost in the voices. It's just a different experience when you can focus on every little detail without any distractions! The funny thing is that I sometimes end up falling asleep while listening, so I get to enjoy their voices in my dreams too hehe ♡

I only listen to drama CDs of any genre during the daytime. I want to listen to them while relaxing on my days off.
