Natalie Tran (born 24 July 1986), also known online as communitychannel, is an Australian YouTuber, actress, comedian, television presenter, and writer. On YouTube, she became known for her comedy videos in which she discusses everyday issues. She began posting on YouTube in 2006 while attending University of New South Wales. From 2006 to 2016, her channel consisted primarily of observational comedy videos with monologues. Tran was the most subscribed-to YouTuber in Australia and one of the highest-earning YouTubers globally in the late 2000s and early 2010s. She ceased uploading routinely to YouTube in late 2016.

Tran's acting career has consisted of a supporting role in the romantic comedy film Goddess (2013), as well as recurring roles on the Foxtel sketch comedy show The Slot (2017–2018), the FX/Foxtel comedy-crime drama series Mr Inbetween (2018–2021) as Jacinta, the Network 10 sketch comedy show Kinne Tonight (2018–2020), and the Disney+ animated sitcom Koala Man (2023) as Lulu Liu and Kevin's neighbour. She joined The Great Australian Bake Off as a host in 2023.

Early life and education

Natalie Tran was born on 24 July 1986 in the suburb of Auburn in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, to refugee parents who travelled to Australia from Vietnam in 1981. Her mother previously practised law, while her father practised literary lecturing. Her sister, Isabel, travelled with Tran's parents from Vietnam. [2] She has stated that her parents "fled Vietnam with nothing but the clothes on their backs". [3] After the family resettled in Sydney, Tran's mother found employment in the postal service, while her father became a public school teacher. [4] Tran credits her parents for making her success possible, expressing that they "endured so much to give my sister and I great lives." [5]

Tran was raised in Auburn, and attended primary school in Lidcombe. After graduating, she attended Rosebank College in Five Dock, before transferring to Meriden School, an Anglican all-girls school in Strathfield, in year nine, where she graduated in 2004. [6] Speaking about her secondary school experience, she shared that she "wasn't really a fan", saying, "I'm not a very ambitious or very applied student." [7] After high school, she attended the University of New South Wales, where she originally majored in education after being inspired by her father, but, following the success of her YouTube channel, began studying and later completing a degree in Digital Media. [8] [4] While attending the University of New South Wales, she worked in retail. [9]

Career

YouTube

Tran posted her first video to YouTube on September 25, 2006, initially posting responses to other videos she had seen on the site.

Her April 2016 parody of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's video apology for breaking Australian biosecurity laws, in which she depicts them as being held at gunpoint while filming the video, received praise from critics. [23] [24] By September 2016, her channel had an average of 1.43 million views per video, and a ten-year anniversary video for her channel posted that same month featured YouTubers such as The Fine Bros congratulating her. [25] In February 2017, her Valentine's Day video, in which she serenaded her partner while he played video games using a virtual reality headset, also gained traction online. [26] [27] She became an ambassador for YouTube's Creators for Change initiative in September 2016. [28] In December 2017, as part of the program, she released White Male Asian Female, a 40-minute documentary about negative perceptions of relationships between Asian women and Caucasian men such as her own, on her YouTube channel. [29] She hosted a video guide segment for the 2019 Sydney Film Festival called the Launch Show, released in May 2019. [30]
