You are one of the very first precursor of asmr, respect

Came for the beard, stayed for the voice.

I never intended to be a programmer, just happened. My dad was a programmer since the '60s and I grew up with computers... I stopped mostly due to my being a victim of the 'burst bubble' several years ago, that and I was also just burnt out.. I had been mostly fixing/customizing proprietary code, and decided I needed to do something else... just haven't figured out what to be when I grow up... :-)

I can't tell how popular whispercrystal and gentlewhispering became famous but this is definitely the first male voice I have thoroughly enjoyed in my asmr experience

Bill, your voice is like honey, oozin through my earplugs. I really dig your trainride, backgammon and show and tell video's. ....and your NWA album...

"If you're too uptight to have a couple of stuffed animals, I feel bad for ya."

i love your stuff!!!

you're amazing!! your voice sends me off to sleep like that! (and i mean that in a good way)

Lovely voice, got a gorgeous calm deep tone :)x

Can we get him and John butler to do a video together

"DON'T SMOKE, KIDS". That part gets me laughing every time.

why yes, lol... especially 'close to the edge' for yes, & 'hemispheres' for rush... if you dig that stuff, check out jethro tull's 'a passion play' - assuming you've not already ... ;-)

I love elephants! I have a few myself that I inherited from my grandmother who passed away. We were best friends and I love having her elephants in my home, as I feel it brings her presence to it. Thank you for your videos!

Your voice makes me feel incredibly safe and relaxed :) Thank you for these wonderful videos!

Just going through your back catalogue Bill. Really relaxing videos. Please make more!

I've been needing a cool uncle are you alright with that?

I love elephants. I love beards. With your voice, I could learn to love math. You are truly a renaissance man. Great videos. Thank you for your efforts.

I love the way you tap items with one finger. You wouldn't think it would be very effective, but done the right way (or, should I say, done 'Bill's way') it's actually brain-melting. Nice work!

Sooo many tingles. Love the stuffed toys. So relaxing

Love your vibe, man. Thanks for taking the time to show us your awesome collection. :)

Bill, thank you so much for sharing your talents with all of us! you rock!

Ahhh it's his birthday, happy birthday Bill!!

Your Elephant collection is beautiful! Great Video Max!

hmm, I don't do a lot of pure whispering because I find it physically challenging... and I don't like tipping my hand, so to speak, for two reasons. First, I like to surprise you guys; and second, I don't like making promises I can't keep. but... whispering does work well for me with reading (ie "Sleepy Hollow"), so I'm planning on a series of videos to read Thoreau's "Walden"... probably a chapter at a time... so, stay tuned

Your voice is so soothing!

Beautiful collection of elephants:)

Its not often you see a grown man fondling a toy elephant and for that alone, you should be applauded.

How did I not find you before, Bill?! Your voice just melts me . . . Bravo, my friend.

You have such a lovely voice, Bill! A good taste in music too. Please keep it up, I really enjoy your videos.

This was awesome, your voice is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this video with us.

"If you don't like elephants, hmmm, sorry." Love it. Great voice and even tho I'm not an elephant collector or anything close to it, they were pretty awesome designs I must say.

I have to say this, you are one cool man, that beard, that voice and in my opinion the coolest part was when u pulled out that NWA CD, please keep making video's they are amazing!

So cool to learn a bit about you. My mom's family used to call both National City and Chula Vista home. Loved the music collection and Pi is one of my favorites. Look forward to more videos! Gong to watch the Raven again now. Take care.

You posted this video 2 months and 4 days after I was born truly amazing

Dude, i am so glad i found your channel. That voice is just perfect for this. I have yet to make it through a single video. Even the beard is strangely relaxing to stare at while i zone out. Between you and the whispering voice, i can finally shut my eyes without pretending.

We have the same birthday! I was born on august 20th 1992. Fantastic videos by the way. Thank you

Love your voice and the elephants. My daughter has a lovely collection of them. Subscribed.

Just found this channel and i love this guy already

I just hit KZfaq gold! Talk about a very relaxing and soothing video!

Great Voice! Thanks for posting :)

Love your videos Bill! I almost lost it when you mentioned king crimson with Adrian Belew!

I'm new to your videos. I love the voice, love the beard, and love your elephants! I can't wait for more!

I really loved this video. The elephants are all very pretty. Especially the last two of course. ^_~ Your voice is beautiful. Thank you for making these videos. x

Your Elephants in a Row is stunning

It's impossible not to like elephants! I MEAN C'MON! THEY'RE ELEPHANTS!

Oh, Oh you are what ASMR needed. Yessss. Absolutely perfect.

I really wanna chill with you and listen to your cd collection one day. You're a very cool guy. Thanks for keeping us relaxed, man.

Man that beard is majestic. Great voice dude, love it

Your beard is the best beard in the land! love your videos!

Every few months I just feel like this video

I just found genesis I believe. Killing Joke, amazing. This sounds like all the modern music I like have their roots in Killing Joke, amazing find! Now I have to check out every band you mention that I don't know.

Great voice for whisper/soft-spoken videos. Very relaxing.

Subscribed almost instantly. Thanks so much, your videos are excellent :)

what a soothing voice!the exact opposite of the sounds my mother in law produces.

i live in san dieoo too man alpine to be exact and i just found your channel i too am a programmer and i do just that for hours on time while listening to your great voice for focus somewhat weird but love it and love your vidz

Thank you so much for sharing your videos with us! Your videos have helped me relax so much, and have been very helpful with my anxiety and insomnia. Your voice is very soothing, and you're an interesting guy! I subscribed, and I can't wait to see more from you. Thank you, again! :)

Awesome voice. And I commend you as a fellow Killing Joke fan.

Thank you, KZfaq recommendations. Your voice is actually perfect and your beard looks like it holds all the secrets of the world.

You are a one of a kind hero sir!

Went Elephant trekking in Northern Thailand during the summer just passed, fantastic animals!

If i can make a request. Talk about your fav prog rock albums!!

You are quite amazing, I really enjoy your videos,if I dont fall asleep to the first one the second does it.

I was falling asleep to this one night and I woke up immediately with a jolt when I heard you say "WE ARE DEVO". I wasn't upset at all of course, you have excellent taste in music sir! xo

Many thanks for your videos. They help me a lot to focus before starting make music. And big thumbs up for Palestrina's Cd.

and those elephants are really cool!

You're the man, Bill. Thanks for the vid! Subbed!

The warmth in the voice is intoxicating.

I typically get my fill of ASMR and leave a video half way through. Something about your voice and how you executed the video made me stay interested and on the page. Very well-made video. Thank you very much.

Epic beard! Props! Great video!!

wholey SNAP dude! you're voice is amazing relaxing~! KEEP IT UP! :D

Aw, you are absolutely wonderful!

took exactly 20 secs for me to subscribe. amazing voice.

Happy Birthday Bill!

You rock! You are seriously the type of person that I would want to just sit and talk all day over tea/coffee/or whatever your poison is! Lots of love

13 seconds in. And I subscribed. You are a professional!

I love elephants !! Awsome videos muy friend !! :D

Subbed. Your videos are awesome, mate.

my mind was blown when you said where you were born....same place. :o

ya know, i'm a ways off from knowing what's hip or popular... but the UK with too few electric guitars!?! what has happened? you guys gave us The Yardbirds... Even Jimi had to go there to really break it big... ah how times change... I do love the guitar! even used to play myself...

Wow... NWA? Never would have guessed. You just scored some cool points my friend.

Beat is probably my favorite King Crimson album. Nice collection

Love the Voice.....Love the Beard!!!

amazing speaking voice! so relaxing!! Thank you so much! I like to listen to some AM radio late night talk shows occasionally for this type of deep, relaxing peaceful voice. The Elephants are very nice thanks for sharing them! and Man I wish I could grow facial hair like yours lol sorry hope you don't take offense.

Subbed and liked, great video.

Hi, I have quite a few of these old Chinese ornaments that are that deep burgundy colour. I believe they are made out of Fish bone ground to a paste and mixed with some type of bonding agent.

wow, croaky... that's a new one! I like it, lol

I tried watching this to go to sleep, but you're just too damn interesting

You make me so happy :)

Holy crap thank you for recommending 'a passion play'. Close to the edge and Hemispheres are probably my favourite albums by Yes and Rush and this album fits right in! Thanks Bill!

You're awesome :D great voice and somehow very entertaining

You sound so much like Bryan Cranston :)

this was great my dude, keep up the great work

That beard... It's awesome!

I have found your channel tonight & I am now a new subscriber! Wow! That beard is too badass for words. Keep up the great videos! :D
