Shout out to Squarespace for
sponsoring today's video.
Hey YouTube World it's
me, Evelyn. Good morning.
In the spirit of today's video,
I wanted to do a more calm intro,
so I'll see you at about
a minute and a half mark,
Sound good?
See ya there.
(peaceful piano music plays)
(shower turns on)
On YouTube there's definitely this
assumption that you have to have a loud,
bubbly,
extra personality in order
for your videos to be good,
and that's definitely a stereotype
of YouTubers in general.
I think the stereotype is that we're
all screaming pranks and jumping off of
things and yelling at
children to buy merch
or smash that subscribe
button, but it's not true.
There are so many wonderfully delightfully
calm and quiet people on this website
that I personally enjoy and so I would
like to share them with you. That's all.
That's all this video is.
Cheyenne Barton is an illustrator who
currently lives in Seattle, Washington.
She draws, she bakes. I love watching
her bake and it's not a tutorial.
It's just just watch.
She ices things. She has an online shop.
She kind of brings you behind the scenes
on how she creates the illustrations for
the products that she sells
and she just lives her life.
She has a way of capturing her surroundings in her
home because she does work
from home in a way that's so
calm and peaceful and slow,
you know, it's not fast paced.
Sometimes people's vlogs,
mine included, we be,
we be all over the place.
When I watch her videos,
it makes me feel like I need to remember
to appreciate all the little blessings
in my life.
You know the little moments of excitement
when you get a package in the mail,
the feeling of baking something and
it turning out pretty decent or just
chilling on the couch and thinking
about your day or watching television.
It's almost like having a
friend in the room with you,
which might sound weird,
but I'm going to own it.
Cheyenne Barton everybody.
Golf clap.
Next we have Hallease.
She is my friend as some of you know,
She's based in San Antonio, Texas
and she is a digital storyteller,
video producer, artist, you know what I'm saying?
And she made this list not just because
she's my friend but because her videos,
first of all her voice.
I would love for her to narrate all
the audio books in the world. Um,
narrate my life.
She has a perspective and a lens through
which she sees the world and she's able
to communicate that to you visually.
She's definitely one of those people I
would consider a film maker on YouTube.
She be hitting me with the slow
motion. She be hitting you with the,
with the score. Listen,
I know how long it takes to
select music and I appreciate it.
It doesn't go unnoticed.
It all adds to the vibe.
Hallease doesn't make videos that
are just about what they about.
They always have like a
higher message or theme,
which adds to the intimacy of her videos.
So when you watch her mom
and her husband make gumbo,
it's not a recipe video.
It's a larger theme and message
about family.
Or a video with her dad
fixing a car feels more
like a time capsule.
Like you're being allowed to witness
this really special moment in time in a
and it almost feels like I
shouldn't be allowed, you know,
but I'm definitely grateful
that she allows us to watch.
I think that whole Halleases's work is
something that you will enjoy watching,
whether it's on YouTube or
any of the zillions of places
it will inevitably be.
She the one to watch.
Next, we have Taylor and her
YouTube channel is called
It's Radish Time. And again,
she's not on my list just cause
we friends we are. But um,
I definitely would add her to the list
with Hallease of people who have a strong
voice. And I consider Taylor to be
a writer with a YouTube channel.
Do you know what I mean?
She's one of the few people
that I watch her videos 100%.
Like I'm looking at the
video, listening to the video.
I'm like locked in and paying
attention. I can't go do other things.
I don't try to multitask.
It's not ambience, very
quiet YouTubers that
I listen to for ambiance.
She could be talking about navigating
queerness from her perspective,
blackness from her perspective
or sharing a story of
her childhood and how it
has carried over into her adulthood the
many lives she's been the many people
she's been over the years,
free from self-judgment or
caring what other people think.
I just appreciate her insight
and her way with words.
Watching her video is like watching
someone tell you a story and I really like
that. She's also one of the few
people I will listen to a podcast
solo like no cohost,
no interview required.
Just listen to her talk about
her thoughts. So Taylor.
Okay girl, I believe in you girl.
Next on my list of quiet, calm,
chill YouTubers is Christine.
She lives in Los Angeles,
California and she's into
beauty, skincare, makeup, music.
Her channel is general lifestyle,
but what I appreciate about it is just
her chill nature. Okay, no gimmicks.
"I spent $1,000 at the dollar
general clothing section.
Here's what happened."
She knows that her
volume is going to be at a steady here.
Okay. The rest of YouTube is here.
She's sitting here. It's unassuming.
It's not trying to be anything that it's not,
she's not trying to be
anybody that she's not.
It almost feels like she's
telling *me* her favorites.
You know what I'm saying?
"Hey. I really enjoyed this lipstick.
I love the color pay off."
And I'm like, uh huh. Yeah. Oh yeah,
I'll get it. Uh huh. What else? Girl, what else?
I like when she talks about music,
she collects records and she gives me
some suggestions and I just introduced to
so much new music.
I definitely feel like if we were friends
in real life we would be the type of
friends who like hang out
together quietly, like separately,
but in the same room. She
also makes like ceramics,
so she dabbles in the
ceramic arts, pottery,
arts and I just like watching
someone who seems to be well rounded,
who's who seems to be doing other things
besides being on the internet and she
just comes on here when she feel like it.
I assume -- that's the vibe that I get.
I just appreciate Christine's channel
so much.
This next cool, calm,
collected YouTuber comes to you by
way of Southeast London.
My my my,
Minnie Small everybody. If you
haven't watched Minnie's
videos you are missing out on healing,
on peace her voice is so soothing in
conjunction with her accent is just like,
wow, she's almost whispering.
No she's not whispering,
but me, myself personally,
I would have to try to talk that quietly.
She's an artist, illustrator, painter,
her scenery, her apartment, her studio,
she works from home is also very serene,
green, plants everywhere.
I feel the oxygen. Okay.
When I watch her videos, I feel
the oxygen. She talks about art.
You can watch her paint.
She has one hour long paint
with me videos and it feels,
it's so intimate--see? I was about to
scream. I was about to scream. Sorry.
It feels so inviting. So intimate,
so friendly, so welcoming.
Sometimes I watch,
sometimes I just listen while I'm
doing other things. Minnie Small is
probably the epitome of calm, quiet, YouTuber.
And then finally,
this last person is definitely the largest
channel in this list with I believe
2 million subscribers. Sadia of
the YouTube channel, Pickup Limes.
She is Canadian based in the Netherlands
and her channel is about vegan food
recipes, lifestyle. I'm not vegan,
but I eat vegetables y'all
like, don't be ridiculous.
And the way she delivers
the information is so clear,
concise.
Her soul is friendly with like a spirit
of compassion and thoughtfulness.
I think a lot of us have some hesitation
about that particular pocket of the
internet, but her channel
is not like that at all.
She just has information and she would
like to share it. If you want it,
take it. If you don't
want it, be blessed.
She's a dietician, I believe.
And I think it's because of that,
that she comes to all her videos with
a level of care and in healing because
that's what she does. The
visuals are amazing. You know,
she makes me want to be a food
stylist and her voice is soothing.
It gives me gentle,
uh yoga teacher, vibes,
preschool teacher vibes,
child's pose, happy baby.
Okay, I want to, I want to do
the happy baby when I watch,
when I watch her YouTube videos, come
to think of it. I'm a little hungry.
Let's go make a snack.
(peaceful piano music plays)
This is not the most efficient
way to do things, but cheers.
I know this is like giving me
daycare but it's what I wanted.
You know what I mean?
All right, wrapping things up so I
can get on with the rest of my day.
