Fashion Producer Claudio Barbieri

Fashion producer Claudio Barbieri discovered the top model Thanh Thuy on the streets of Ho Chi Minh City.
At their very first meeting, he promised to teach her for free how to approach the international market.
Over the past months, they have worked closely together and now she is ready, a “new face” is about to shine!

“When I first met her, she was very shy. We worked a lot to make her more self-confident.”

English Coach: DV (Xuan Viet Hoang Don)

“At the beginning, I wrote a short English self-introduction for Thanh Thuy, but she stumbled a lot when reading it, as if she wasn’t confident and was still afraid of speaking English in front of the camera.
I convinced her to slow down, focus first on conveying her ideas clearly, and not worry too much about grammar accuracy or pronunciation yet, that would take more time and practice.
After that, Thanh Thuy managed to record a self-introduction video in English smoothly, confidently, and with the right attitude.”
