Elevate your work

My Journey

I have been a professional actor for over a decade working in mainstream film, television, commercials, theatre and voice work. I am a working actor so know what it takes to be successful in the current climate. I began my journey through the classical route of drama school at Drama Studio London but soon found myself searching for something deeper, knowing in my bones that there was much more to uncover.

This led me to seek out teachers to further study in depth in the pioneering techniques of Stanford Meisner as well as masterclasses with Kristine Landon Smith to further embrace myself and my cultural background into the work. An element which often gets ignored. It is this range of experience that makes me unique as a coach.

The Coach

I work with actors using a series of personalised techniques to suit each individual artist.

In order to do your best work, you need to have a safe foundation to

experiment

surprise yourself

be fearless

and play.

With preparation comes the erosion of doubt. Using the tools I have acquired throughout my training and career, I work with the person in the room, to help bring them and the character together to best serve

the text.

For professional actors who wish to continue working on their craft, get out of set patterns, or prep for a role, I provide a personalised service that I would want for myself as an actor. A place to experiment, rehearse, and eliminate doubt so that when you step into that rehearsal room, or in front of the camera you are ready to do your best work.

Process based, not performance based coaching.

My aim is to help you grow in your work.

I no longer do self tapes.

LET'S TALK

what people say

So, Tuyen has helped me out with a couple of self tapes recently and it has been an eye opener to see how her input makes the final tapes so much more interesting to both perform and watch. She gives you the freedom to play around but also changes the energy (in a non-imposing way) so you have to respond to create varied scenes. She provides a really safe space to create with her and pays such attention to detail, not only on text and character analysis but also the set up, including lighting/scene atmosphere etc, so you can have a tape that you are really proud of.
I would highly recommend Tuyen, plus, she has an entire space in her house, exclusively for self tapes that is spacious and has a lot of natural light.
You will feel relaxed, confident and most importantly have fun whilst working with Tuyen. Not only is she a fantastic actress, but a fantastic director, which makes her a fantastic self-tape reader!
