I really can’t get over how lovely your voice is. It’s such a pleasant timbre, and your inflections are slight enough to both evoke the emotion of the story and still flow undistruptively to people dropping off to sleep. Exquisite work! Thank you for using it to help the rest of us sleep!
I won't listen to/use any other channel beside yours. Your voice and your stories are the only reason I am able to fall and stay asleep. I choose a long story (4+ hours) and let it ride. I never remember the story because I'm asleep within minutes. Only a few stories I've listened to while remaining awake. Thank you so very much. You're such a calming presence, even just over the internet. Much love.
@@Bongwater33not everyone has the same feelings about fictional horror as you. I've been reading horror stories before bed for 35 years and never been worried in the slightest.
I was just noticing what books (I adore books) you have to listen to, and Dracula made me chuckle. Certainly a classic story, but so humorous to fall asleep to.
Is there a version of this without the rain sound in the background I love the voice and I need to study the book but the rain is distracting and ik its for bedtime reading but I've been searching all over UA-cam for the perfect voice to read the book, and your definitely the one🙏🙏
All books are available without ambient sound and start that way. I'm considering bringing those versions here too. I believe Dorian Gray is available on the audio version (Spotify, podcast apps) And every single book is available on Patreon.
This story is just next tier. Oscar Wilde is one of my very favorite authors/playwrights. His humor and descriptives are just on point, and his observations on life hold up incredibly well. Just lovely.
@@bookshelfhoney After this, I also recommend you read his play The Importance of Being Earnest. If you’re into late 19th century humor, it’s hilarious 😂
One of my favorite books ❤ tyvmuch I haven't read all your lists of books. Can you do the murder of Edward Delacroix AKA The Green Mile. Have a nice week. #15👍🏻 ❤
Gosh, I had to stop listening to this book. He’s such a bad person so far that it hurts my heart. I’ve wanted to read this one for a while, and I actually think I own a copy. I just collect books that I promise to eventually read and most times it takes ages to get to them. I figured I could work while listening, but he’s too much for me. I don’t have the mental space for people like him rn. I’ll go to another one of your audios for now.
Peace some may agree. However, I like an African accent at bedtime. From whence we all came; its comforting like on the Black Panther. This was quite cool tho🎉. I always liked Dorian Gray. Tall, dark, handsome, yes, that's the voice for me ❤😊😊😊
I can confirm there are 0 adverts during this video, they are turned off and only appear when you first open the video, any you are experiencing must be a mistake with UA-cam
@@DownToSleep I listen every night and the past two are the only times it’s happened. No way I’ll stop listening, I’m just hoping it’s a temporary glitch. The inflection of your voice is astonishing. I do hope you’re making a very good living with it in every way possible. 🤞🏻👍🏻
@DownToSleep This is why i have a love/hate relationship with UA-cam. People can sing other artists' songs (named cover songs), yet you can't read books freely after giving credit to the authors? What's the difference? uh! 🤔
@@DownToSleep I apologize for being cryptic, there. It's one of the "Mandela effects". For some examples of the "residue" -- Arron Quinn has an animated version on his channel, with the original title. "Dir. Arron Quinn" is the channel name. The title in French has "Le Portrait" and not "L'Image". And, if you look up e.g. "Dorian Gray" -picture "portrait" there are still theater posters, etc, listed.
why would you want to listen to creepy or scary stories when you try to fall asleep? Isnt that just nightmare inducing? You should read calming and uplifting stories for bedtime!
I am prone to nightmares. When I listen to these kinds of bedtime stories I'm asleep within a few minutes and for whatever reason, it's not as if my brain is dreaming about what I'm listening to because I never remember the story and my dreams never reflect the story that is playing at the time. In fact, when I listen to stories, I have no nightmares. When I don't, it's more likely I'll have one. He is so calming and his voice is just so soothing, it doesn't matter the story. It is always good.

My cats like your voice too, it calms them 😻😼
Time for me to revisit this one tonight. It's one of my very favorites.With the rain and flowery words, there's gonna be some good sleeping!😊
How can I fall asleep when I just want to keep listening to your voice???
You are doing gods work. That dracula one let me tell you, my sleep has been heaven because of it. Looking forward to this one.
Right? I listen to dracula every night. I’m breaking my streak about to fall asleep to this lol
wtf you listen to dracula before sleep? truly twisted!
@@Bongwater33not everyone has the same feelings about fictional horror as you. I've been reading horror stories before bed for 35 years and never been worried in the slightest.
@@Bongwater33the beginning is just a guy traveling through Europe, I always fall asleep before anything scary happens
@@Bongwater33how is it "truly twisted"?? These are specifically made for sleep, the channel is called Down To Sleep ffs!
Your voice is absolutely perfect for this story
Ikr
I love this story from Oscar Wilde! Thanks for making this! Love your voice ❤
These tales are like whispers of comfort in the darkness, gently coaxing me into a restful state. Forever grateful for this oasis of calm. 🌌😌
This is brilliant! You are such a talented orator!
I found your channel yesterday and now I’m hooked ❤
Welcome!!
Taking something that was already beautiful...and making it even more beautiful and great through the instrument of atmosphere...is pure magic!!!
Such a beautiful voice thank you for sharing it with us your humble subscribers so we can relax! You’re amazing
Amazing..you're narration and expression kept me not wanting to sleep..the best audio version by far
My favorite book read by my favorite reader! What a gift!
One of my absolute favorite stories ever ! Thank you !
Ahhh this was one of my favorites in high school! It was great to revisit this book with you. Thank you 😊
Ur voice is so unbelievable soothing! ❤
I was just noticing what books (I adore books) you have to listen to, and Dracula made me chuckle. Certainly a classic story, but so humorous to fall asleep to.
This had been on my to-read list for a long time. Thank you for the fantastic reading of it! It has once again renewed my love of Oscar Wilde
Please never stop making these 😇 ur an absolute angel!!
Omg I love this book so happy you did this!!
Your voice is absolutely lovely. 🙏

I love spoiling the end of this book, it never grows old
Thank you for reading this one, it is one of my favorite 🥰🥰🥰
Most of my faves on this channel are gone- coraline, a series of unfortunate events😢
One of my favorite books ❤ tyvmuch
I haven't read all your lists of books. Can you do the murder of Edward Delacroix AKA The Green Mile.
Have a nice week. #15👍🏻

😭 I need the full Dracula reading. I beg of you. I'll be stuck awake until then 😵💫😵🥱

Love your voice in telling the story but it was spoiled by the overwhelming noice of thunder and rain
You can just listen to the version without rain though.

You need to read some Anne rice vampire chronicles please!! ❤
Did your reading of Howls castle got taken down?

Why did you remove Charlie and the chocolate factory from your channel??🥺😭
Unfortunately for copyright reasons. All books are still available on Patreon.
Oh no I loved that one 😢
Can u monetize if they’re in the public domain then?
Isn't it the "portrait" of Dorian Gray? Not sure at the moment. Too lazy to Google... G'night. Thx for the resding.
Nope, the picture of Dorian gray is correct
Oh, blessed use of linguistics read in a soft British timbre. This is such a wonderful vacation from the more crass novels of today.
The past two nights I’ve gotten very loud ads: one at @ 5:00 and one at 5:13.

Can you read Rebecca?

It's more about the tone and cadence, for me. HorrorBabble is especially good for that, lots of his are about an hour long.
Grim fairytales have a long history as bedtimes stories.
