her voice is so soothing...

lol she speaks less 😂is that way

​@@dheemzaint a joke,

[@Phoenix.219]

​@@dheemznope. Some ppl have perfect pitch which is soothing for years. Even in online teachers, for me voice matters. If someone has a high pitched voice I just can't watch them for long. She has a nice voice which one can easily listen for long period

It's very nice to see Vaishali in a more relaxed format than the post-game interviews.

[@AdamGaffney96]

Vaishali is definitely becoming one of my favourite players! Always seems to just go for it, never afraid to get aggressive on the board, and seems really confident in her skills and well placed to keep improving.

[@ddm_807]

Her voice ❤

[@bloodeagle2445]

Yes , i was impressed by her voice when first time heard her. It's like the perfect balance of femininity and boldness.
