Natalie Tran

Yes she is Asian, and yes, she went to UNSW, but fear not, Natalie is no Asian accountant!

Youtuber Natalie Tran ("communitychannel") has snatched the hearts of bananas (and other people) worldwide! Her humorous exploitations of living with Asian parents and her awkwardly genius parodies of everyday life will leave you hooked on her channel for hours. Tran is an expert at noting the fleeting and unmentioned moments in life that subconsciously bother everyone. That awkward moment when you accidentally touch a stranger, the pain of hanging out with overly affectionate couples, wondering why it is always joggers who find dead bodies, why hand-sanitiser is so essential, weird things people do in hotels, freakishly bendy people who are double-jointed (yay, me!), friends who suffer from "no ugly photo of me is allowed on facebook" syndrome, or just really love Lord of the Rings to an abnormal extent. Trust me, with Nat, you will never feel alone in your secret worries. She has the ability to be unexpectedly relatable. Sometimes, I feel like she is my long lost twin, or maybe our mothers were sisters (because my mother also likes to taunt me with stories about how she starved as a kid in poverty, and for me to waste food...). Seriously, guys, check her out! Even if you don't find it entertaining listening to an Asian complain and theorise, it is worth watch it for all her gun jokes, and cringy self irony (proof that they do work)!


And what about her acting? Upon being asked whether she is a professional actor or not, this was her answer: (source)


"I’m sure many actors felt a violent pang of pain just then. No, I’ve never trained in acting and I’d never consider adding acting to my resume. I just like being able to portray moments or stories in skit form and I’ll take on the roles until I can afford Cate Blanchett to be on my channel. That will most likely be a while. I’m also keen on Susan Sarandon."
