This is my first time on your channel and first video of yours I'm watching but I'm hooked 💯💯 going to watch a lot more. Very calm and soothing 🇫🇷🇫🇷

[@patchworkpoppit]

I heard you on Calm. You have such a unique voice. I instantly subscribed to your channel. Thank you for such wonderful subject matter.

INCREDIBLE HEISTS

[@MegaMagicGoat]

I'm so grateful that you started making videos again last year. The time and effort you put into every one is evident, and it makes for such fantastically relaxing and interesting videos. Absolutely one of my favourite channels ❤️

[@vortmax1981]

Fun fact: The ONLY place in the world where the public can dig for diamonds (and keep any you find) is Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas, USA!

[@ftjosie8395]

It's really awesome! I've been there!

[@B3_6]

@@ftjosie8395 find any?

[@dingletingles]

I'd love a video on famous heists, like The Great Train Robbery, and DB Cooper. I think that would make for a fascinating video.

[@topheasmr]

Add Brinks Mat to the list. 🤙

[@user-lx3xf9xt8g]

Second this

[@lisapollack]

GREAT idea. Could also add the Gardner Museum art heist!

[@christineellis531]

Love this idea!

[@onemeeme829]

I don't usually watch the screen while playing your videos but man I'm happy you put so much effort into the visuals as well. Love your relativity video!

[@loggue8019]

i like to imagine that is the actual Koh-i-Noor and the queen is sitting just off camera having a cup of tea.

[@BigBennKlingon]

I think this is the only ASMR video about gemstones that doesnt allude to supernatural qualities. Refreshing!

[@hissleboat95]

@@heidimariem8851 my wife is very into healing crystals, meditation and holistics. I genuinely have given it a shot and it didn’t do anything for me. I won’t say that I’m totally in disbelief but I can say a lot of it has to do with placebo in my opinion. Your mind has a weird way of making things so with external stimulants. If you want to it to be your mind can almost always make it so. So in that aspect absolutely, they are very effective, for someone like myself who is skeptical not so much.

I was searching for a male voice asmr to listen to. Tried a few others and as soon as I clicked on one of yours... sigh of relief and relaxation. I know this is an older video, but thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for doing these. You are an amazing person for how many people you have helped, in even this small way. The world needs more like you sir. Peace and love.

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

Thanks and welcome!

[@arrullo3658]

Is such a wonderful surprise to check the phone and find a new video here! I am counting minutes to arrive home and hear this with good earphones.

[@GandalfSkywalker83]

I cannot wait to read the French Whisperers book one day when we all find out he's been Indiana Jones the whole time lol

[@Your_Favorite_Weapon]

I was afraid that when this didn't win your poll you wouldn't make the video! Really fascinating stuff and taught me a lot about a subject I didn't know much about. Thank you for all you do!

[@RandomOwlExterminators]

My new puppy and I thank you so much for your time and energy in making these videos. Your soothing voice helps him sleep on his own at night! Still a bit of whining and barking but he's getting the idea. He definitely likes your videos to calm him down! ASMR for puppies!

[@saintt9044]

Been looking forward to this video since your poll! Your set is nice, and of course, the topic is as interesting as I thought it’d be on top of your soothing voice 😊😴 it’s definitely going in my asmr favorites playlist

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@John_Notmylastname]

I love your educational and relaxing videos. They are the perfect thing to calm and distract my mind as I go to sleep.

[@richiep3520]

Love this video. When you mentioned Golconda in India I was so happy. I was there for a few weeks with work based in hyderabad which is not far. Seen Golconda Fort and some lavish gem stone stores for the very wealthy scattered around.

[@wrlk636]

I just want to say your ASMR videos are some of the most high quality and well edited I've ever seen. I listen to your videos almost every night since discovering your channel and I genuinely hope you keep releasing more content far into the future. You're very creative with your presentation and I enjoy how you decided to stylize your shots with the props and the camera angle. Thank you for making it easier to fall asleep in comfort every night! I hope you have a way of feeling the same way you make others feel.

[@samanthamcmillan3044]

Your props are amazing! Your videos are so detailed and thoroughly researched. You've become my favourite asmr channel to fall asleep too and I'm actually learning something too! Ive whipped out a few tid bits from your videos in conversation lately. Thanks for all that you do x

You must be incredibly well read. I’d love to know your process for making these videos. What kind of materials you read over, do you make an outline/take reading notes? Each video is a great synopsis of the topic. Impressive!

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

Thanks; I made a video about my process last year. It is called "making-of" or something like that.

I love gemstones I have some too! ❤️ (I already knew about some of the powers they have)

Hey when you do these you should leave music in the background of some of these videos .. I really love your voice with soothing music in the background THANKK YOUU!!!

[@TheFrenchWhispererASMR]

I like pretty things very dearly, but I *love love love* all natural science so much, especially physics! 💫😍💎 Ps. Could you please be so kind as to make a video of the general Japanese _cultures_ history (traditional arts, believes, manners etc.) and another one focusing on _Geishas._ I always trust, you know not to sugarcoat history. 💮🌸💮🌸 I am a little bit obsessed with Japanese traditions and of course always everything regarding womens rights. 🙆🏻‍♀️ I have a few other video wishes of historical subjects as well, so naturally I'd be happy to join your Patrion to suppert your informative, comforting and inspiring channel! 😘
