Great video. In my country, we also have a mermaid legend. She was called Iara, and she was the most beautiful girl among her tribe. Because of this, she got a lot more of her father's attention than her brothers got. They became very jealous, and decided to kill her. But while they were planning how to do it, she heard them talking and killed them before they could kill her. Her father condemned her to death for dishonouring her family, and threw her in the Amazon River. She didn't die, and magically became a mermaid, enchanting fishermen with her voice, so they'd follow her down to the bottom of the river and be turned to stone.
Your videos with paintings as a topic are my favorites; I could've imagined it, but I believe you said they were your favorites to make too. Please make more of them, for both our sakes :P They are the whole package: art criticism (art appreciation), art history, and relaxation. Although, all of the topics you talk about intrigue me without fail, and I'm sure this is the case for most of your subscribers. I'm -selfishly- a little sad you haven't been as active lately, but obviously your personal life should always take precedence over your online life (I hope all is well!)
I love watching your channel grow. I've been subscribed for quite some time and it makes me smile to see so many people suggesting topics! You're truly one of a kind and have really created your own style and uniqueness! You're my favorite ASMR artist. :]
I’ve listened to all your recent videos so many times I had to scroll back for years to find some I haven’t listened to yet. Excited to get into these older ones!
WOW! How have I not come across your channel?? I LOVE legends, tales, folklore, myths, etc. And I'm going through a stage of loving accents - your voice is incredible. I've heard less than a minute and my head is mushy with tingles - definitely subscribed :)
No that voice was straight up creepy. I had to stop it bc it gave me an eerie feeling. He would be good at telling scary stories, and thrillers. Other than that, hell no!!! I still hear his voice after only listening for 15 seconds, then stopping the video. I wanted to watch the video too. Oh well.
I love your videos, they are so relaxing and enjoyable. You have compiled a lot of interesting historical content that I really appreciate hearing as well. These videos are more than just something to fall asleep with. Thank you very much.
I enjoy listening to your historical videos. I appreciate the time you took to research and compose these videos; the educational information, visuals, your lovely accent, pronunciation and your soothing, exquisite voice. Your videos are perfectly orchestrated...Merci, Gracias, Thank you. :-)
You are officially my favorite artist. You took the coolest things in the world. World history and ASMR. Why can't there be more artists like yourself!
Bonjour Mr. French, I know this is off topic but I'd love to hear your interpretation of Simulacra and Simulation by your fellow countryman Jean Baudrillard. Different subject matter but I think everyone would enjoy it! Amazing job with every video thus far, keep up the good work!
Brandon Argraves I would have to study this before because Baudrillard is hard to really understand and I am not sure I do right now, but why not! Added to my list of ideas.
Of course! Take your time, defiantly worth the read! If ya can't get around to it, no biggie! Also would love to see and listen to a type of biographic video featuring the famous philosophers. that would be another series of yours id look forward to. I'm sure the rest of the ASMR community would love to learn from you as well. Once again congrats on your success!
Henrik Almgren I'll be back soon, I have been busy with other things recently and put my channel on hold for a month but I will restart uploading in a few days hopefully.
I just discovered your channel. What an excellent treasure I have found! I very much enjoyed this video and found it to be very relaxing. I have a very active 2 year old little boy so I need all the relaxation I can get! Thank you!
Hi I'm taking Ap world this year and wanted o thank you for covering some of my topics in class, or side topics mentioned in my textbook. Could you do one over the Chinese dynasties if you haven't done one already. Thanks!
Also! I was wondering if you could build a Pirate type of ship with like a Mermaid on the front of it in Minecraft. Just an idea I thought would be cool!
Quick question: Is it possible to wear holes in TH-cam clips by re-watching them? (Joking, of course!) - Hope everything's going well with you in the 'Real World'. Looking forward to watching your next selection of topics. Cheers! :)
The French Whisperer And thank you for your kind reply! Very pleased to hear that everything's okay. You know you're doing well when Tubers get jumpy whenever you take a short break to attend to the daily business of having a life outside of TH-cam. Welcome back, mon ami!
your videos are all great! the only thing is that i wish your recorded voice would be less sharp. the highs are poking out on small speakers very much (you using a de-esser or adjust the voice with an EQ a bit?) your voice is totally made for a bit warmer sound :)
Hey... I was watching a old video and, if you ever come to Salvador Bahia would be nice to meet you XD. Oh and plese make a video on the Holy Roman Empire. Btw sorry for my english =S. And i love your videos sir o/.
Salut the french whisperer, sincerement tes videos en fràcais me manquent beaucoup, peux tu traduire les recentes videos que tu as faites en anglais si tu en as le temps stp. Merci d'avance
Patcho Alpatch Celle-ci sera traduite d'ici peu. Mais il me semble que j'ai plutôt été actif sur les vidéos en français récemment ;), j'ai tout traduit à part celle sur Prométhée (les celtes, la vidéo spéciale 10K abonnés, un tutoriel minecraft, JP Ugarte, la maquette de bateau, l'Ile de Pâques)
11:35 I don't see how that's misogynist. It's an ancient mystical creature and, as you pointed out, older than Christianity. Mythological figures weren't meant to be entertainment or fear mongering. They're the attempt of human kind to conceptualize their own psyche through drama. The myths survive the test of time because there's truth to them. There are dangerous beauties in our modern world too. The only way that this fact would be misogynist is if one were to assume, *all women* fall into the category of the mermaid. And I'm sure the ancient people weren't that ignorant. Nice video, I like to draw while listening to your stuff. You always select nice images too. The fisherman and the siren by Frederic Leighton is an image for kings..
I do have one question, are you trying hypnotize people seductively , I will say, the Cadence of your speech and the tone of your voice is almost intoxicating. You're trying to do something more then just educate. 😉
scroats I am still around, I just had to put my channel on hold for a month to travel and deal with other things. But I should resume uploading in a few days now.
The French Whisperer good news! i was hoping that you didnt get discouraged or anything like that! I really like your videos and am looking forward to all upcoming uploads. thanks for helping me relax!
The French Whisperer i hope that when you return you will upload many videos at once. I have been relistening to the ones already posted and have discovered some of your older vids as well. looking forward to learning lots more from you!

Isadora Baumgartner Omg SCARY
Isadora Baumgartner I've heard that one.
Isa H. B. Damn
That’s really interesting. What country are you from?
Never heard of this one thank you for sharing
I find the mermaid myth similar to the Irish myth of the selkie, which has always been my favorite.
I would love to hear your version
GustavBalturWolf79 lopez Look up the movie “The Secret of Roan Inish”
@@simgingergirl Thank you I'll look it up 👍
Revisiting this 7 years later in 2021, the first ASMR I ever heard you do. Still one of my favorites 🙏🏼🌹
the topic that won the last survey you voted for: The Myth of Mermaids. Hope you enjoy it!
Yay!!! Thank's soooooo much!
Hope you post a new video soon :-)

Whispered_Stories Thanks, glad you liked it!

Autumn Fink thanks for your kind comment. I am fine and back, new videos will come out shortly.
I love watching your channel grow. I've been subscribed for quite some time and it makes me smile to see so many people suggesting topics! You're truly one of a kind and have really created your own style and uniqueness! You're my favorite ASMR artist. :]
This has been the type of Asmr I've been looking for. Thank you good sir
I’ve listened to all your recent videos so many times I had to scroll back for years to find some I haven’t listened to yet. Excited to get into these older ones!
So happy I found this channel tonight. What an amazing voice!
Amanda LeBlanc welcome, glad you like it!
You are such a good ASMR artist, your voice is so calming.
WOW! How have I not come across your channel?? I LOVE legends, tales, folklore, myths, etc. And I'm going through a stage of loving accents - your voice is incredible. I've heard less than a minute and my head is mushy with tingles - definitely subscribed :)

+John Doe each to their own. I happen to really love this video but that's okay :) Maybe you prefer his space ones or something? :)
Thank you does not seem enough. Your videos are so enjoyable. I appreciate the information you share, but also the way you carefully explain. -xo
I love your videos, they are so relaxing and enjoyable. You have compiled a lot of interesting historical content that I really appreciate hearing as well. These videos are more than just something to fall asleep with. Thank you very much.
A fig for his riches
All his merchandise and gold
True love hath grafted my heart
Give me my sailor bold
i don't usually get ASMR from gentleman, but this sure did work. subscribe button check, tingles check, fallling asleep at work... woops.
More Greek Mythology! Love it
I enjoy listening to your historical videos. I appreciate the time you took to research and compose these videos; the educational information, visuals, your lovely accent, pronunciation and your soothing, exquisite voice. Your videos are perfectly orchestrated...Merci, Gracias, Thank you. :-)
You are officially my favorite artist. You took the coolest things in the world. World history and ASMR. Why can't there be more artists like yourself!
Always love your videos. Perfect combination for me, relaxing, informative and interesting. Keep up the great work
I just discovered this channel, and I absolutely love your voice. I plan to add this channel to my regular nightly rotation of ASMR.
Bacon Ecstasy thanks and welcome then!
he started in my rotation, too, and now he's the only ASMRtist I watch!

I love it! People might think its crazy but I think mermaids are real. The ocean is so vast, there are any number of unknown creatures living within.
I agree :) glad to see it's not just me who's optimistically and wonderfully insane :)
Yes you are completely INSANE!!!.
Favorite video from you so far. Your soft voice is lovely!
I find this in 2020,, is amazing,, thank you.
Where did you go? Havent slept in a month ;)
Henrik Almgren I'll be back soon, I have been busy with other things recently and put my channel on hold for a month but I will restart uploading in a few days hopefully.
The French Whisperer Any update?

sakodak thanks, I'm back with fresh material very soon!
A video about the napoleonic wars or perhaps the mongol empire would be awesome! Great vid as usual
Cire Deit both are on my to-do list already, but thanks for the suggestions!
I was thinking just the other day how much I would love to hear this, lo and behold my wishes are answered :D
TheHypno15 hope you like it!
you have a very comforting voice
Would be great if you could do the story of Odysseus and his journey home as you mentioned it in the video, its one of my favourite books :)
Quite appropriate that I should find this tonight as I watched the movie 'Splash' earlier :)
Cool story!! Bring on the history of CHAMPAGNE
Could you do an ASMR history of halloween ( and related holidays such as dia de los muertos) please :) :)
Great video! very interesting and relaxing, what about the history of ephesus in turkey?
Whats the next topic?
You should do one about cars, or motorcycles. Rich history there.
Thanks for doing this.
Your voice is so deep I can actually feel it.
Hi I'm taking Ap world this year and wanted o thank you for covering some of my topics in class, or side topics mentioned in my textbook. Could you do one over the Chinese dynasties if you haven't done one already. Thanks!
Well done...i love the Video
Really appreciate your page. I look forward to your return when you are less busy.
Also! I was wondering if you could build a Pirate type of ship with like a Mermaid on the front of it in Minecraft. Just an idea I thought would be cool!
(Wasn't I the one who suggests this?) Love it!
Noelle Bazinet yes you were, thanks for that!
Quick question: Is it possible to wear holes in TH-cam clips by re-watching them? (Joking, of course!) - Hope everything's going well with you in the 'Real World'. Looking forward to watching your next selection of topics. Cheers! :)
Bugzapper Thanks for your kind message. All is well and I am back! My next video will be out very soon.
The French Whisperer
And thank you for your kind reply! Very pleased to hear that everything's okay. You know you're doing well when Tubers get jumpy whenever you take a short break to attend to the daily business of having a life outside of TH-cam. Welcome back, mon ami!
more myths pls !!
Should do one on the Mayans specially the hoop game would be awesome
You are wonderful!
serughnemez agreed ;). Thank you!
0:05 my mom has this picture on the wall in our living room!! 😊
Great video, TFW! :D
your videos are all great! the only thing is that i wish your recorded voice would be less sharp. the highs are poking out on small speakers very much (you using a de-esser or adjust the voice with an EQ a bit?) your voice is totally made for a bit warmer sound :)
You should do the history of phones, or the history of computers :)
The first photo you used my mom has framed on a golden frame
Can you still please do a tank history video. Love you videos could please do this one. Thanks.
gas power coming soon hopefully, this is going to be one of my next few videos.
could you do a video on the history or Porsche or maybe Gaming
Wow, his voice is basically auditory melatonin.
Can you do one on the fall of the Roman republic?
Oooh! Great topic!
adamjacob13 Yes I have a few topics about Rome, I should do them in coming months.
Hey... I was watching a old video and, if you ever come to Salvador Bahia would be nice to meet you XD. Oh and plese make a video on the Holy Roman Empire. Btw sorry for my english =S. And i love your videos sir o/.

Man, these mermaids don't seem to get much in the way of sun do they?
How about the history of Halloween or the history of yokai?
I do have one question, are you trying hypnotize people seductively , I will say, the Cadence of your speech and the tone of your voice is almost intoxicating. You're trying to do something more then just educate. 😉
george yarbrough yes!!! At first I was a little creeped out at learning about mermaids. Felt like I was at a sleep hypnosis site
Where did you go?
KING SID I'm back and my next video in English will be out within the next 24 hours!
You sound like sideshow bob! Very relaxing though!
where have you gone?
scroats I am still around, I just had to put my channel on hold for a month to travel and deal with other things. But I should resume uploading in a few days now.
The French Whisperer Oh Thank God! I had to put my life on hold while waiting for a new upload ;) That isn't sarcasm by the way.
The French Whisperer good news! i was hoping that you didnt get discouraged or anything like that! I really like your videos and am looking forward to all upcoming uploads.
thanks for helping me relax!
The French Whisperer i hope that when you return you will upload many videos at once. I have been relistening to the ones already posted and have discovered some of your older vids as well.

They are real!
We miss you :(
TC snipes no longer, I'm back ;). My next video in English is already recorded, it will be out very soon.
Why the fuq is this dude whispering?👂
🎵🎵PART OF YOUR WORLD🎵🎵.
This would've been more relaxing with a brogue instead of a Latin accent. Most mermaids are usually of Celtic origin.
Is there any merman?
half trueth
Yo wth lolololol!!!😂😂👍
1st comment

Wow, talk a little louder next time
