[@aidanoconnor3747]

I love your videos

[@cheyanne8901]

Love all your amazing work, and your great videos. It truly shows how much effort you put into you're videos and how much you care. That's why you're my favorite. Thank you have a great day

[@roooose16]

Hi Maria, can you please do an ear to ear whisper video while reading the positive affirmation cards you have? Thanks so much :)

[@ryancourt8065]

Hi Maria!.... WOW you look as radiant as ever ;-p ... so the video is 1:20min? i am gonna have to watch it like 9 times to make it all the way to the end! zzzz..zzzz.zzzz...zzzzz LOL

[@TheNewMailLady]

Thank you so much Maria for everything you do for the ASMR community. You're amazing!

[@benjaminyork1648]

That question at 4:40 really bothers me. You don't deserve criticism like that. You can see how hard you work and the effort you put in to your videos, so the fact that someone would say something like that is actually quite hurtful and disrespectful. At least say what you think is missing, rather than Making 'blanket' statements like that. I'm just grateful to have you and your videos to turn to, so thank you x

[@lulumizzy]

When people talk about loving your older videos more, what I first thought about was ASMR immunity. It's possible that people have watched your content so much they have immunity and just associate your older videos with tingles because those are the ones they watched first and had the strongest reaction.

[@kevmartins1812]

You've got a point.

[@xM4XvPA1Nx]

Lauren Knight never thought of that. i seem to get a consistant amount of tingles regardless.

[@miraclewhip5672]

I think there a few reasons why the older videos are liked more. Part of it is comfort. You know what is going to be about, when the sound cuts out, the parts that give you the best tingles. She is right, the lower quality does make a difference. Honestly, I think she could fix it by simply turning on her ceiling fan or letting her AC run during shoots. But what I think is most different between the old and new videos is her confidence. In her older videos, you can tell she is scared and a bit timid. It affects the softness of her voice. But really though, even though I love the difference it makes in her older videos, I would never wish her to be back in the place. It's so obvious she is in a significantly better place, and I am happy for her. If I want that softer voice, I can deal with watching the older videos.

[@weezie168]

Lauren Knight ~HI! 😊I wondered if you could tell me how I could distinguish her "older" videos. I am looking for the ones that you talked about giving the awesome tingles. I feel I have become immune to the tingles & it makes me sad. 😟 *THANKS*

[@Darb2005]

Marsha Singley the only one that actually gives me tingles is the backwards audio video. It's my favorite! (I like how relaxing the other videos are though)

This. This right here is asmr perfection. None of the idiocy with eating crap or sucking on ice cream or "ear eating" nonsense. There's a difference between Real ASMR and ridiculous fetish crap. Maria is the Real thing

[@anecdocheinmotion6398]

Ear eating?!

[@zahraahmed5699]

lol

[@zahraahmed5699]

lol

[@moselaw2]

those are legitimate triggers though, and to claim they are fetishes is ridiculous, especially when people outside the community claim that we only listen to this because it is sexually pleasing, I enjoy eating sounds, its just pleasing to the ears, so try not to call my triggers fetishes

[@jasminetaylor-cowgill7328]

Never commented on an ASMR video but just wanted to say that your timestamps are so appreciated. As someone who needs a quick 10 minute tingle to get to sleep, your time stamps always direct me to the right to place for sleep! Also big props for giving time stamps for this video. A lot of people use q&a’s as click bait but you’ve set the questions out so people can find their answer to the question they want! Love your channel! Your steamy spa video has been watched at least 50 times by me!! It’s my go-to when I’m having insomnia. Rambling now but Thankyou for your channel. You’ve saved me and my sanity so many times when insomnia has taken over!

[@jaredtheurer6309]

The strongest forms of triggers for me is when you are providing a service in your videos, but you go way over the top in giving us the best experience. For example of love the spa treatments and suit fittings because those situations are what we really want from those experiences but never quite get in real life.

[@alexaf.3158]

You're so special. There are many ASMR channels out there, but you are unique. You give some kind of motherly vibes, I feel caring, loving and comforting when I listen to you.

[@vforveracity7487]

Bravo on educating yourself on the economy. That automatically makes you one of the most educated and informed Americans. There is a lot to learn. The crash is guaranteed and probably very soon; much worse than 2008. Don't take on anymore debt. If you're moving, move to a small town. If you have cash or equities, transfer them into physical gold, silver, or hard assets that people will want when times are tough. Doing this will allow you to buy your dream house for pennies on the dollar after the crash hits. Keep your pantry full and then some. Don't stop learning. You're awesome.

[@GentleWhisperingASMR]

V for Veracity yes, I agree. I see it coming very soon too. I tried to get rid of most of my debt this year, except for the car, but I'm working on that still. And trying not to be tied down to a certain place for now. I have been deciding between investing in bonds or physical gold as well but still don't know what's better, I am afraid the dollar could depreciate very rapidly and leave me with savings worth nothing :( .

[@vforveracity7487]

DEFINITELY stay out of bonds. Check out goldmoney.com. You buy gold (not an etf, you actually own it), they store it for you in a vault and give you a debit card to transact with. So you can literally pay your bills with gold. Not so easy to do when you store it at home. KZbin "Hidden Secrets of Money." It's an awesome seven episode series that really helps explain what's going on.

[@muzzey8749]

GentleWhispering Just wanted to tell you to look up my sister-in-law's blog called The Vegan Beauty. She has a lot of tips about the Vegan/vegetarian lifestyle

You are absolutely AMAZING, Maria. I first found about ASMR through your channel and I stick to it. Your content is original, you seem to have a lovely personality and your voice is absolutely angelical. I love e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g about your channel - the old videos and the new ones as much. Also, knowing you're not a native english speaking makes me admire your fluency and how your accent works so perfectly in this ASMR project! I hope you have a wonderful and prosperous life, both on and off camera, cause you are an important part of my days, the quiet moments I have daily in order to wash away the stress of a bustling routine. All my love and gratitude ❤

[@helena_2001]

You've helped me through so much in my life and I just want to thank you for keeping me relaxed for all these years.

Dear Maria, I rarely leave comments but today I have something to share with you... I had a very difficult day and I had to work a lot, my anxiety was over the roof and I decided to listen to your video.... your voice calm me down and I managed to go through my day. I listened to it at least three times ( and even thought I know it by heart already) in a raw. Your voice was my sanctuary, your gentle presence was my company, you don't even know how much you comfort me. You managed to create a safe place for me and I thank you for that🙏 Thank you my dear fried that I have never met. Спасибо тебе, дорогая Машенька😘

Just to let you know, Maria, I find your new videos as ASMR inducing as the older ones, maybe even more! To be honest, you're one of the very few ASMRtists who can always get me tingles! Seriously, you're the best.

The joy of knowing someone who likes to be around in nature as well is priceless and I had 3 great months with a girl I was very close with. The relationship unfortunately didn't last, but I would never ever want someone who likes to go out on a friday night, just to indulge himself in a pile of noise, music and booze. So again... you are not boring!

[@irishasmrguy8293]

Bring back the roleplays please. More of them would be great Maria! :)

[@GentleWhisperingASMR]

[@jonathanebersole8355]

The more I watch her videos the more I realize she's a beautiful, kind hearted person

[@valerieacevedo3862]

My favorite video! I love just the whispering with NO tapping and NO close talking by the microphone. Please please do more of these!!!!!

[@jacquiemitchell1929]

And now she has beautiful mila 😭❤️💕what a blessing !!! 53:16 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@AA-lk2td]

Maria is very young but still has that motherly caring personality that makes me feel secure and protected when i whatch her videos

[@cajuniky]

13mins in and Im crying? Lol 😢 But its a good cry. I miss my mother alot. We were only close when I was a child and she passed when I was 18. 💔 It sometimes feels good to let it out. Thanks. Now to finish watching 😉😘

[@cajuniky]

Yes the healthcare system is absolutely messed up in the USA. So sorry you are dealing with that 😔. I'm glad to be in Canada! Let's hope it changes soon 😐

[@cajuniky]

Actually got through the whole video!😄 (Sorry, my last comment will be a bit long Lol) I am very sleepy, but I find you so fascinating! So I really wanted to finish it 😊. We are so much alike, its crazy. It's like I'm watching a different version of myself. Our goals, our interests, our morals, beliefs, spirituality. Wow! I see why I connect to you so strongly through the camera! 😄😘 Now to go watch another of your videos, and fall asleep within minutes😴. (FYI, my favorite parts of your videos are the interaction with the person watching, you often make me feel like its a thin veil between us and not a camera thousands of miles away 😄. Your movements seem well calculated. i.e. if you touch a body part, you know where the sound and visuals need to be located so it feels accurate, relative to the lens and mic. Even the anticipation of getting touched gives me tingles sometimes. Like hearing you prepare for something in the background, manipulating tools that will be used on me. Kind of like the physical exams, body/face/hair messages. And when you move around the room when you're outside the camera view. It gives me the illusion that I can feel your presence. Also, hearing you share your wisdom during a session is extremely relaxing to me. Makes me feel like you really care, and that you really want people learn how to deal with their issues and relax. I'm thinking you already know all this from experience, but thought I'd let you know anyways just in case 😄😘)

[@yeezuschrist420]

I love that the first two bands maria said she likes are coldplay and imagine dragons! Those are my favorite two bands too! This is maria’s best video! :) I hope whoever is reading this has a wonderful day/night, and if maria reads this, you’re my favorite asmrtist out there! You’re so pretty and your videos are awesome!

[@lizlegal]

Hi Maria! I’m watching this video again in 2020 and could not help giggling when you mentioned you wanted to have a child, awww that you did! and she is precious 🥰🥰 Also, it’s so nice to get to know you more through these chit chat videos. You are an incredible human being and I’m sure you will always be the #1 ASMRtist of all time. These videos are the most amazing for me personally.

[@jkr9090]

Maria is the most genuine and beautiful soul, we need more people like her in this world.

[@allexaty5768]

[@megananderson1470]

Hi Masha I hope you see this... I would just like to say that I love, respect, and appreciate everything that you are doing. I only discovered ASMR about a month ago and you are BY FAR my favorite. You always give me tingles and help me fall asleep! Also you are beautiful and I love you. Thank you. ❤️

[@LukiexPookie]

God bless Maria.

[@GentleWhisperingASMR]

Megan Anderson ahhh 😊 welcome to the community, Megan! Thank you for joining us. Get comfy we'll lull you to sleep 😇

[@GandalfTheSilver]

I'm glad you are honest about how you feel in these videos. I understand it gets pretty boring to edit videos; editing is very tedious, and thats coming from someone who uploads videos averaging 2 minutes in length, lol. I'm glad to see you're staying true to us about everything, about the tedious parts, and about the good parts. Thank you for all of the time, effort, and tedious work you have put into moving this community forward. People should not be ashamed that they produce ASMR content because it is real, and its invaluable to people who need to relax, alleviate a stressful day, and help people through sadness. I felt ASMR back when I couldn't explain what it was on my own, when I would hear certain sounds it put me in a meditative state and I would feel waves going up and down my neck. I didn't know if it was normal to feel it, so I just assumed other people felt it too, but of course, I now know that it is just a minority of people that really do. Thank you so much.

[@auroravioletlight]

I really like your answer about becoming what you wished to be, about being calm etc and being an example.... Because I feel exactly the same way about looking for that mentor... And that is what you are to me... An inspiration, a calm presence and like a port in a storm sometimes, as I found myself to be emotional often times after my parents deaths.

[@samanthagermanotta4639]

Your videos are so uniquely compassionate! You're really so wise and sweet and you seem like such a genuine and kind-hearted person, it's very refreshing, Your videos really are so positive and lovely, keep up the great content!

[@LilStarChar]

That's funny, I'm from North Carolina and about to move to DC for my new job. I'm from the Raleigh area, it's not bad. I would say look in the areas outside of the city. Cary and Morrisville are nice. I don't know much about our mountain area but if you're really looking for an "woodsy" neighborhood Asheville, Lenior, Arden are pretty nice

[@GentleWhisperingASMR]

great tips, thank you very much!!! ☺

[@brandycollins8625]

I would listen to her. I've lived in North Carolina my whole life. I've lived in Mt.Airy, Pilot, and King. I currently live in King. It's definitely woodsy here, but they are not very wealthy or populated towns. You would like to live near the city. My town has absolutely nothing lol. I have to go to Winston for just about everything lol. Also king is known for racism unfortunately:(

[@brandycollins8625]

I don't know at what time she mentioned it in the video. When I heard it though I was like what?? North Carolina has some great parts, but a lot of towns/counties are awful. Racism and drugs are pretty huge in quite a few counties, including mine. Also there is absolutely nothing to do unless you live near Raleigh, or you're rich.

[@BillionSix]

Wait, are you moving to Raleigh? I live in Raleigh. It's a nice place.

[@courtneyk.r2098]

RoyalChammy AGREED! I too live in NC and I absolutely adore it. I'm just outside of the triangle in a (more or less) rural area and I think it's perfect for what she described. Morrisville is wonderful and really gorgeous in the fall.

[@WorkNprogress1]

This is one of my favorite videos ever !!! More q&a and chill monthly favorites videos please😘

[@coryinthehouse8125]

what if real life she is loud AF

[@TheCarsfan4ever]

***** Well done for stating the obvious but who generally describes videos as bubbly

[@TheCarsfan4ever]

***** You are describing a very important part of the video which is the person recording. Define "bubbly"

[@TheCarsfan4ever]

***** I know what bubbly means df is she an aero bar or something then

[@TheCarsfan4ever]

***** I literally asked what you meant by bubbly

[@miraclewhip5672]

As fun as your argument over bubbly is, she definitely is not loud in real life. Her other vlog, Sassy Masha I think it is called, shows her in everyday settings. She naturally has a calm voice. It's a little louder. The only difference is her Russian accent is more present.

[@jaimecampbell7207]

1 hour of gentlewhispering is it my lucky day or what???? So happy

[@prettyvacant1977]

Maria, could you do a guided meditation video? I would really love that :)

[@prettyvacant1977]

binaural, with ear to ear whispers to be really specifc

[@KotTokk]

Referring to the second question - I think people mostly experience this tingly feeling when they hear/see cerain things. For me strongest asmr stimulus is not a sound but a specific behaviour - when somebody unintentionally is making sounds and seems to be really sorry for that. I realised that when once the girl sitting next to me in a reading room was trying to unwrap her sandwitch, the paper was rustling and she was like 'I'm sorry, please don't shush me, I will be quiete on my own in a second'. It was asmrish for me, not exactely the paper sounds but whole situation. When asmr artists starts to make videos they seems to be sometimes lost and quite confused, being really careful, not knowing exactelly whis sounds their viewers will found nice and which will be irritating them. Later on they gain experience, become more self/sound-aware and this playing with sounds, exploring them together with the viewers is never as geniune (I mean fresh) as it was at the beginning. I guess you were right saying that some people prefer lower-quality (almost unaware/unintentionall asmr) videos. I hope that I'm not rude or something (if I am please forgive me, it wasn't my intention to offend anybody, I'm trying to explain my vague thoughts with my broken english).

[@Jennifer-ig7um]

You are so talented and you seem so sincere and kind. I think you have definately achieved becoming that confident, calm and collected person you speak of in the video. You are a true inspiration for me and so many others! I do like your other channel as well where we get to know you even better. Thank you so much for helping me fight my anxiety and insomnia. I wish I could give back something to you

[@appleonaya2659]

I've been watching you over 4 years and to me your older videos are just a good as the newer ones. You are just as amazing! :)

Thank you Maria, you are a positive force in my life that has kept me very collected which has allowed me to become a more discerning person and You have had a profound impact on my life. You've assisted me in cultivating my ability to maintain a more well balanced outlook on life, I've more emotionally stable in every single aspect of my experience, with myself and others. You are already a great mentor to both men and women, we all can learn something from you. You are a very strong and caring human being! I am glad you are doing this, people really need you!

[@TommTooTone]

1 n a half hours this is why they call you the queen of ASMR, you always gotta raise the bar and I don't think anyone has ever hit that mark yet. ❤

[@therealJamieJoy]

Dear Maria, I realized over the course of watching this video why it is I enjoyed the video so much-- aside from the obvious reasons. The whispering in such a conversational manner, and intimate as one-on-one reminds me of the most fun times I had in my childhood-- slumber parties! When I was a little girl it was such great fun for me to be invited to sleepover parties. I had only a younger brother who was six years my junior. I felt alone quite often with no sisters or other kids my age in my home or neighborhood. Having this type of intimate, whispering conversation is really beautiful to me. Thank you so much for sharing yourself and your gifts with the world. The world is a better, happier, more comforting place with you in it.

[@SafeBck]

Could you make another Q and A with tapping and head massage? I have a few questions: 1) have you ever had depression where you felt that your world was crumbling down? 2) do you have a hard time letting go of the past? 3) does Darrel watch your videos to relax and does he or you find it kind of awkward? THANKS!

[@song4mozart]

Reading fiction is very important. It teaches us compassion and empathy for others. I know you are a very compassionate and empathetic person, but it also teaches us how to walk in another's shoes and see through their eyes...their point of view. :)

[@Caleb904]

Song Mozart no, I read books and they don't teach you anything. They're just fun and entertaining

[@GentleWhisperingASMR]

Song Mozart I absolutely agree, but I seem to drift away from the topic often. I might have ADD and it's hard for me to focus, organized/structured books are easier for me to follow. :/

[@Khelztube]

I've gotten ASMR responses from most of the newer ones. I have a sleep playlist now with hours of your videos and the majority of the time when a new video goes up, it gets added. The combination of your genuine energy and nurturing is enough trigger for me

I have to say the calming collective person is how I see you in your videos and you seem such a beautiful soul! So if you're happy to make 1 person feel calm and secure you have done your job for sure 💜
