No lie, you're really blessed with the kind of voice that is perfect for audiobooks/ASMR. I would happily pay money to hear an audio version of The Hobbit and LOTR read by you. Excellent story telling as always, too.
Fox! 🦊 50k?! Look at you go, my friend, you DESERVE IT! Thank you for all the wonderful stories. It's been an incredibly hard week & to have a place to "escape" for even a short time is so unbelievably helpful. Here's to the next 50k adventurers who join! 🍻
Sidney you are unreal!! 🥹🤯 wayyy too kind thank you friend!! 🦊 truly, thank you so much for the support, encouragement, and deep kindness you’ve always shown me! i hope your days only get easier and gentler, and that you’ll be part of so many more adventures to come! 🫶🏻
Perfect. Can't wait. Just getting ready for sleepy time. You're voice, reading and stories are so good. I'm glad I found you. I suffer from chronic illnesses. Fibromyalgia is the worst. A lot of pain, exhaustion, depression, I have horrible PTSD nightmares. The list goes on. Anything comforting really helps. And you have become a source of comfort for me. Thank you so much for everything you put into it all.
im sorry to hear that you’re constantly feeling that pain and that sleep doesnt come easy 🥺 i pray it gets easier friend ♥️ and hope the stories can offer any measure of comfort for a small escape. thank u for being here, and please take care of yourself always 🫶🏻
@@DozingDragonASMR Thank you so much for your kind reply. You make a difference in this world where so many can be cruel and hateful. Best wishes for continued success, and love from Pennsylvania USA 💜
Had a wonderful night's rest. Thank You. 🦊 Your respect for the art of Lord of the Rings comes across and is so appreciated by those of us who are tired of projects that borrow from the original but barely reflect it. Filling my cupboard with soups, cocoa and hot cereals, getting ready for dark, quiet winter evenings. Waiting for blizzard winds outside, crackling fireplace inside and Dozing Dragon Sleep stories completing the picture. Be well, friend ❄
Tolkien’s works are so amazing, I truly feel a deep respect for them and his artistry 😁 that sounds like such a cozy and great start to the winter!! think ill do the same soon! thanks for being here Sharon and wishing u all the best as well, always!
I love lord of the rings/the hobbit , I hold it close to my heart! Happy to listen to another wholesome and cozy storytelling of a favourite topic of mine. Thanks again, Fox! Hope you’re well ❤
Oh, my dearest friend, I'm very happy to hear a different version of the Hobbit. The Lord OF the Rings and The Hobbit I grew up in reading these stories and watched the animated version when I was a child. I'm so excited to listen to this wonderful tale. Thank you so very much Fox your due diligence of your writings and storytelling. You cease to amaze me how you're able to have such a delicate balance between your career and writings. Keep up your hard work. As always, much love and respect, my dear friend Fox.
♥️♥️ thank you Jennifer!! its always so validating to see your lovely heartfelt praise and kind words. these stories are a total escape for me, from the chaos and worries of daily life and work, so its meant the world to share them with you and so many wonderful people!! thank you dear friend 🫶🏻🦊
@ It’s the first video of yours I’ve come across and I’m so happy that I did! Just subscribed and I’m two hours in to this one! Probably not going to sleep to it. I drive for work and listened to it today as I was driving through rolling green hills. It was beautiful hearing you read about The Shire as I drove through such beautiful nature. Can’t wait to listen to more brother!
Wonderful reading! I don’t know how you came up in my feed but I’m sure glad you did! What fun to have this best tale ever written on in my background at work! Or the fairy tales and myths to fall asleep to. Love it!
This is your best work! Please explore Middle Earth a bit more. To give you some ideas - I think and I am fairly certain its true most people want a cozy non violent nice stories to fall asleep to...One about the bastion of hope Elrond created in *Rivendalle* would be a great idea - I mean look at that place! Radagast being one with the nature and living in the wild forest could also be a great theme for a tale. Maybe one about the Ents and their history and traditions? Perhaps one about Moria at its height when it was a prosperous city full of craftsmanship and culture a provided safety for all the dwarves? Gandalfs travels is another one that could work! But you seem to do a darker stories as well - for that I could recommand the tale told in the game Diablo, its a spectacularly written story with a very dark atmosphere, its full of mystery yet extremly quiet, desolate, calm before the storm sort of vibe to it - yet hope never dies. Thanks for your work. This one is a masterpiece and I sincerely hope you make another middle earth ones, I feel like your channel has a very bright future once Tolkien fans discover it...(look at the numbers on Toliken centered channels)
😂♥️ Colin bro!! so happy u caught this one, and enjoy your tea!!🍵 hope uve been well, and thanks for the love over on Patreon!! I saw you joined - means so much to me mate, thank u 👊🏻 🇮🇪🫶🏻
@@colinjohngilbert3994 i alrdy have a decent grasp on the lore from reading the books but to fill in the gaps of my knowledge and for refreshers etc i use the lotr wikis and look up specific story events that im muddy on 😅
@@DozingDragonASMR yeah cause I thought I knew most of it but you seem to find some mad stories 🤣 it's one of my favourite books 📚 I still remember reading it for the first time 🥰hope all is good in yanks doddle land
thanks for being here!! 😄 also im not sure if ur into gaming much, but if you enjoy darker/spookier subject matters, I cannot recommend Vaatvidya’s channel enough! hes my go-to for sleep stories when I wanna listen to some dark Elden Ring tales! same with Smoughtown
Merry Christmas Fox! Thank you for all your hard work and all the talent you share with us on your channel! ❤❤ I listen to you every night..can you please do more rainy background stories like this please?? These are my very favorite 😊.
Thank you thank you! Thanks so much for doing middle earth tales! You always put such time and effort into your stories. ❤ Any chance of getting a tale of Beren and Luithen?
This is so wholesome. Just did a bunch of Christmas gift wrapping and that can be a tedious task but this was awesome to listen to! Thank you for doing this, keep it up!
You sound like what I imagine a medieval knight would sound like. Such a beautiful voice and pronouncing of words.❤❤❤ I love these Shire Tales. Being only 5 feet 3 inches, I feel akin to them 😂. Thank you ❤.
PLEASE read all of lord of the rings for us. Your pacing is slow and perfect and lets us get truly abosrbed in the story. PLEASE, cuz im writing this as the video is winding down and im really disappointed im not going to get to hear the whole thing
@@DozingDragonASMR i was caught be suprise. I was sick, grumpy and notin the mood for lotr, but I heard you speak, and was instantly hooked. really, fantastic speaking voice. I laid there trying to stay awake as long as i could.
@@nikicadinirenic6806 That makes you badass. In the USA, we (the actual people- not the government or press who do not represent us) admire you greatly.
Fascinating stuff, though nit-picking pedants like me must start by discounting the jarring failure of the mood-setting picture screened right at the outset. Which features an apparently comfortable, well-to-do Hobbit hole interior featuring a substantial domestic fire but with a window directly over the mantle, leaving no possible room for a chimney! It's actually a relief when after some 25 mins, this wallpaper, by then minutely analysed to identify every other unconvincing detail too (and so actually distracting from the narrative instead of the converse) is removed and the audio left unaccompanied, to be listened to in peace!
Yeah, it’s a not utopian. It’s about a star who gets famous enough to think he can do anything and becomes a fascist in his own mind. Run Like Hell isn’t a fun summer song, it’s about running from fascists trying to kill you.
i used to go faster and folks asked me to slow down since theyre trying to picture the scene in their heads to get sleepy 😅 sorry friend! still tryna find the sweet spot 👌🏼
Hey man thxs for the vid my friends make fun of me for listening to audiobooks but i know deep down i love listening to the audiobooks especially this series
![The Lord of the Rings Full Audiobook [#1 - The Fellowship of the Rings] by J. R. R. Tolkien [1/3]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/JyvmAfpM0L8/mqdefault.jpg)
No lie, you're really blessed with the kind of voice that is perfect for audiobooks/ASMR. I would happily pay money to hear an audio version of The Hobbit and LOTR read by you. Excellent story telling as always, too.
The rings of power should have hired you as a show runner. Beautiful story telling and commitment to Tolkien's world.
wouldnt that be something 😂♥️ thanks friend!! appreciate u so much
Absolutely ❤
Or, like, absolutely anyone who's ever read Tolkien 😂
No.
I mean, the main issue with rings of power is that they only have the rights to the appendices, not the Silmarillion
