GentleWhispering's Fabulous Fabrics Fantasy

GentleWhispering's Fabulous Fabrics Fantasy
     Today I'll be reviewing the most recent upload from one of the most popular ASMRtists on YouTube. If you haven't heard of GentleWhispering, then you probably haven't known about ASMR for very long. It's easy to see why she has gained such popularity among the ASMR community. Her videos are always of the highest quality, her slight accent triggers many listeners (myself included), and the joy she gets from making videos is apparent after only a few moments.
     This video has a run-time of 38:53. It is relatively simple compared to many ASMR videos. It purely consists of GentleWhispering gently whispering about a stack of fabric. She starts by commenting on the fact that whispering videos are more intimate than soft spoken ones. This immediately seems to draw you in to her confidence as she unfolds the secrets of her fabrics. After counting the fabric the camera angle changes (which is itself rare) and GW spends more time describing the tactile and visual properties of each fabric.
     I try to find at least some fault in each video I review so that I don't just seem like a big ASMR fan-boy. This doesn't have any obvious failings like background noises or poor quality. The only problems people might have with this would deal with their personal taste which could easily be circumvented by watching one of GW's other videos that you might find more interesting.
     This video contains a female, accented voice; whispering; fabric sounds; and hand gestures. Go check out this relaxation aid and see if fabric is your ASMR fantasy. While you're on YouTube check out GentleWhispering's channel for a wealth of other ASMR videos including a soft spoken version of this one.
