thank you so dearly sir, wishing to find a way to express how precious & meaningfull your creations-you are to so many, from belgium♥, it was so moving as well to see u lighten the fireplace
I can't believe TH-cam's algorithm hid this from me for so long. This channel deserves to be on Netflix. Unbelievable content. Educational, relaxing, interesting, amazing, beautiful, mind-boggling stories! I can't wait to climb into bed with my earpods and cuddle up with The French Whisperer💕💕💕💤💤💤💤💤
Watching a lot of classic horror film at the moment to pass time during lockdown here in Scotland, so this is perfectly timed. Thank you. Fascinating stuff.
This is going to take me 2 years of rewinding back to the point where I passed out to get through it; and I couldn't be happier about it. Epic and amazing! Thank you!
Scotland here! Just climbed into bed about to go to sleep, but thought I would quickly check my phone before turning over. Boom! Notification saying the super Frenchman has dropped a new video! Outstanding timing again! Thank you sir! Much appreciated!
As someone who has had no exposure to ASMR prior to discovering this channel, I’m still pleasantly perplexed to what is so great about this channel,( I’m in no doubt that it is. Since coming across the genre, I’ve had a look and listen to others and they leave me a bit cold, with the ASMR component being possibly less of interest to me at the conscious level). There’s some kind of emergent quality to your work that goes beyond any individual components being analysed.... at least for me. It would appear I’m responding to the allure of both the information and the presentation/delivery, mediated through the specifics of your accent and personality, in a way that I would never previously have imagined would necessarily be appealing. We all have lots to learn about ourselves it would appear lol
At long last, a video about Werewolves! I love them and I think the folklore surrounding them is so interesting (and yet, there are so few good movies about them). This is really a treat, thank you!
Thank youuuuu so much! As someone who suffers from depression and other mental disorders I need your videos to help me cope during these times, so much. These topics just make it all better. Thank you very much. Keep up your amazing work, sir. My respects to you. 🙏🏻
Yaaaay always happy to see a notification from you! I’m currently studying an Ancient Egyptology Diploma and always have your Egypt video on in the background to help me concentrate! Stay safe 😊⭐️
@@sarasmr4278 I fell asleep listening to that one also. I woke up when he added the last bit. I thought I was dreaming! I had to go back when I was fully awake & fast-forward to listen/watch that part. That was soooo funny!! 😄
Love your channel, sir. A lot of ASMR content makers just tap on stuff but you actually talk about things that are interesting and educational while also providing relaxation. Thank you, and please keep up the good work.
Your videos have now become a source of comfort for me and your voice makes me feel so safe. Thank you very much for putting so much effort in every single video you make ❤️ it is truly amazing and they're so interesting and calming!!
I know I’m late commenting but I’m so glad you came back. I have chronic insomnia and every time I listen to your stories, I fall asleep with in minutes.
I love your ASMR your voice is incredibly relaxing and its fascinating to learn about the background to these creatures, your subject matter is always interesting :) Plus the whole atmosphere of the video with the books and fireplace etc makes it feel like I'm in the past listening to old stories. Really unique and bonus that the vids are long too because I find those the most helpful when trying to relax :)
wow this is awesome. I can't even imagine all the research and forethought that you put into these videos, but it's noticeable and appreciated! It still blows my mind that you often don't script things word for word. I also love crackling fires, so that was a great touch :) 💕
Ever since I found you and these videos, I've been able to not only fall asleep faster, but stay asleep longer too. I love the stories, especially the ones about history and the whole world's past!
@Nicolas d'Avout not sure where you're from but they do a lot of languages in French schools. My partner is french and knows Spanish, English and Japanese. But he's only fluent in English, so this guy is much more impressive 😉 Maybe the interest started in school, though :)
I am so surprised that your name and that VOICE aren’t bursting into much bigger media! I honestly cannot think of a single “project” currently in voiceovers for a plethora of audiobooks, movies, cellphone voices……my mind boggles at the endless possibilities! Listening into the wee hours, when the dark is at its darkest, your voice is as silky as the most exquisite, handmade chocolate, warm and smooth. If you are interested in this kind of popularity, it is all right there, waiting for you to take it up and move forward! ❤️
1) I appreciate your time stamps SO much, because I really like most of the topics you cover, 2) I have never, never gotten tingles from a male voice, nor did I find them particularly relaxing (except for @MichaelSealey) but my goodness - you have such a unique tone and cadence to your speech, and your accent is like honey to my American ears. I tingle asleep within minutes of starting one of your videos.
51:00 this always baffled me as a child. In my area snakes, both poisonous & not, are rather common. As a child I would catch them & it scared my mother so bad that she took to telling me stories of how evil snakes were. I still continued to catch them so my father taught me how to tell which were poison. So I caught look a likes to scare other children away. They called me "snake witch," "saleibsa" or "drakesa". To this day I find it hilarious because I claim those titles & find animal stories fascinating. I'm also glad you included the Chinese zodiac story because mine is actually a snake! How fitting.
not nearly as cool but ive always loved sheep and rams and such and was just delighted when i found out i was an aries and represented by a sheep, haha
HELLO...... I have been a fan of ASMR for the last 8 years now. I recently happened on one of your videos. I'd like to take this moment to thank you. The format in which your stories are used is amazing! I never listen to men in ASMR. But I do now. As of yet, only yours. Your voice is so lovely to fall asleep to. The rain sounds awesome, as well.....lol I actually got out of bed and pulled back my curtain cause i thought it was raining...lol It actually made me laugh. I am a true fan of yours and your videos are now my favorite. They are educational, relaxing, and a great way to invest sleep time. Again, thank you very much.
Awww man..my birthday was may 3 and I always was jealous that you guys had that cool may the 4th be with you slogan. All I was able to call it was may the turd...lol!! Hello fellow Taurus ♉ ✌

Thank you! I have put French versions on hold for now, because with the evolution in my format of videos (longer, more produced), it now takes me about 10 hours to make one. I have to record and edit the video again, and this is not particularly fun since I have already told the story before, and editing is a chore to me ;). Given the much lower viewcount and watch time on French (and Spanish) videos, I decided I was done with them, at least for now.
Your voice is so comforting. Have you thought about doing a video about bigfoot? I really only watch 4 different asmr channels, yours is surely one of my favorites.😊

You know, I also hunt Werewolves instead of Vampires when I was a young man.
I question you for committing extra-legal killings on sophisticated beings that may be superior to most of us
@@Crafty_Spirit Those Vampires and Werewolves want your blood. I did it for y'all even them southerners.
Thank you Mr Lincoln
Yeah i didnt appreciate the birdshot. Yo son was Dick Cheney
@Nicolas d'Avout like pay per view twin peaks
At long last, a video about Werewolves! I love them and I think the folklore surrounding them is so interesting (and yet, there are so few good movies about them). This is really a treat, thank you!
There's a new one this year called The Cursed, apparently it's a new take on the werewolve lore and it got some good reviews

Finally! Werewolf lore gets such little love and I'm so glad one of my favorite artists decided to tackle it.
This story and your voice saved my life tonight. So much gratitude. Thanks.
You could be discussing dinosaur poop and I would still be ecstatic to get your notifications. But werewolves and dragons?!?!? HECK. YES. 🐺 🐉
His dinosaur video is one of my favorites. Especially the end!

What a coincidence. Hi there Let’s Read.
I heard this as the version at the end of Courage The Cowardly Dog 🤣
Your videos have now become a source of comfort for me and your voice makes me feel so safe. Thank you very much for putting so much effort in every single video you make ❤️ it is truly amazing and they're so interesting and calming!!
This was a spectacular story for grown-ups. Enjoyed it immensely.
I know I’m late commenting but I’m so glad you came back. I have chronic insomnia and every time I listen to your stories, I fall asleep with in minutes.
Your voice and accent is perfect for this, it has an air of the mystique.

Awesome video. I think a similar video except about elves and fairies or anything fantasy related would be very enjoyable .
I love the sound of the fireplace ❤️ would love a video of the story with the sound of the fireplace going the entire time. Thank you for all you do
Love mythical creatures. So excited for this!
I can’t get enough of your videos, always so interesting! Thanks 😁
Oh my god!! I've been listening to asmr for years!! How am I only finding you now?! Your voice is like honey!
I love to return to some of your stories time and again, and it helps me to reduce stress a lot. Thank you for your work!
Your pronouncation of german names like Schleswig-Holstein is very good
Lurakin He has entire videos in Deutsch, I highly recommend checking them out!
@@MS-fw8yd he has? Funny, only seen French and English turn up when I look for stories I haven't seen yet. Have you got a link to a German one? 😉

The crackling fire sound as a backdrop is just icing on the relaxing cake 🤤😴
Fantastic Tingles and Where To Find Them.

This is great timing for me too as I work on modding my Elder Scrolls IV, just seems to fit nicely.
Wonderful story. And nicely fits bedtime! No fear but learning and fascination.
Instant calm and sleepiness when I hear your voice. Thank you so much for your videos. They've been a blessing lately! 💖
Lighting the fire first was a nice touch! Thanks for all you do
Man you haven't made a video yet that I haven't absolutely loved, thanks for the awesome hard work man
Excellent, I'm guaranteed a night of peaceful sleep!
This is wonderful in all aspects. I'm enjoying it so much! I really appreciate your work. Top notch.
Thank you very much!
Please do more mythological creature episodes I absolutely love them amazing content!
I was trying to watch your last video the second this popped up. Great topic, and the fire sounds are an excellent addition too. Merci beaucoup!
Thanks, hope you enjoy this one!
Have now watched three times; can confirm, I did enjoy it! Thanks again
I love your stories and your voice and everything wow it gives me goosebumps I absolutely love it!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for the stories and the cozy fire.
It’s too bad I never stay awake to learn about everything 😔
Amazing video again! Nice to see the dagger making an appearance again.
Thanks. It is actually a different one. The one I use most of the time is from the Caucasus/Iran, in this video it is from Morocco.
@@TheFrenchWhispererASMR Oooo looks very similar to the one in the sword video you did. Beautiful none the less. :D
@@TheFrenchWhispererASMR The Oriental Arms Video... That sounds 100x more sophisticated than "The sword video you did" aha.
ugh every time i wanna watch your videos i fall asleep in the first 10 minutes literally
This was what I needed to help me get to sleep
Dude you are so cool. The anesthetics show such a beautiful side of you. I plan on donating soon, once I get my finances in order.
I've put this on at least ten times now and can't make it past the first few minutes. I love your channel.
Honorable mention to Godzilla even though it was more into stomping around.

It’s fascinating to learn about topics such as these! Thank you sir!👍🏻
Yaaaaasssss! Two of my favorite creatures! Werewolves and Dragons. Can't wait to listen to this before I go to sleep tonight! 🐺🤘🏼🖤🤘🏼🐉
I am addicted to your stories

His content is good for any night but particularly after a long day of labour it is the extra pillow upon which your head rests.
This is the most relaxing man ever
Crackling fire, beautiful voice, parfait Monsieur :)
I absolutely adore your videos, thanks for making them x
Well I passed out at the beginning of the first story😳well played sir!!.....& thank you 😊
Best asmr on TH-cam
Love your videos! Do you have plans to do any more videos in French or Spanish? Maybe one in simple French for people who are learning? Thanks! :)
FW: "Hello Everyone...."
Me: "And good evening to you sir. Im ready for our next adventure"
I am sitting here by candlelight with my cat, sewing, listening to these stories.
These videos make me excited to sleep lol
I just got ridiculously excited for naptime 💜💜💜
I love your videos. Only thing that could have made this better would be to keep the fire sounds in the background throughout the whole video. I felt the same way about the Orient Express video.
Thanks! I know that some people would prefer more background sounds - the problem is that a significant majority wants only the voice. Last time I put music in an art video (the Impressionists) I had a little insurrection in the comments section ;).
Bonsoir :) Une version FR serait incroyable 👀
Could you please make a video about the fairies or faery folk? I would be ecstatic if you could! Regardless always appreciating your content!
Not once have I been awake for a full video
thank you for being the only person i need in life for sleeping i’m in your debt
Thanks for helping me finally get to sleep
Super excited! Can't wait to listen to this tonight
Nice narrative. Thank you!
Yes!!!!!!!!! Thank You 🥰
