Yes.

Aloi Mak Maan.

Hi.

This is very relaxing.

Yeah.

You look quite relaxed.

Thank you.

What do you like to do every time you revisit Singapore?

I'm a big walker.

I like to walk around cities, around foreign countries that I go to.

Apart from walking around the city, I like to go to their public parks.

And Singapore is very well known for their parks.

Is there a particular Singaporean or local cuisine that you love to have every time?

Something that my mother loves dearly is the pandan chiffon cake.

I buy those for her as souvenirs every time I come here to Singapore.

And that is one thing that she has been looking forward for the end of this trip.

Does she say, Aloi Mak Maan?

Yes, Aloi Mak Maan.

What part of your life makes you feel most blessed?

I have very, very supportive friends, very, very supportive family.

I am very, very blessed to have a nice community to fall back on, a nice circle of friends and people who support me all the way.

When it comes to your family, what do they think about this big life that you're leading now?

I think that they probably never expected it.

They've told me on multiple occasions that when someone sees our surname and then they ask the question whether we're related, it still weirds them out.

What would you say is the secret to your chemistry with PON?

We are very aware of each other.

There's this Thai word, it's called It's along the lines of not going through the other person's boundaries.

Being aware of the things that the other person likes,

dislikes, this is something that has helped us a lot in our working relationship, in our personal relationship and other things.

Even now, if you don't get chosen for something, because this industry of showbiz is all about being chosen, How does that affect you?

I would have to say it would be hard, because not having something and gaining something is an easier feeling than having something and losing it.

What has intrigued you most about fame?

I'm thinking whether I should say this or not.

Save space.

OK, save space.

I would say it's the amount of weird hate.

You read through the comments, and then you're just confused.

Do you sort of have the urge to sort of clear things up or set the record straight, or do you just now just say, you know what, it's just noise?

I have the urge to clear things up, but at the end of the day, like you said, it's noise.

And I have also found out the hard way that if you clear things up, it creates another whole can of worms, so...

Yeah.

What would you say to up-and-coming actors or people trying to break through or achieve something in their life?

There's this very, very recent interview done by an actor called Peanut Jelly.

He said in that interview that you have to be familiar with the failure more than success.

9 out of 10 times you are not going to succeed.

There's only going to be one person who's going to get that role, right?

More than likely, the person who gets that role is also going to be someone you know.

You also have to be familiar with enjoying other people's success.

What do your fans usually say to you when they recognize you on the street?

Mostly if the Thai fans see me, they'll try to pretend that they didn't see me and try to discreetly make eye contact.

If it's international fans, they'll just whip out their phones.

There's this fond memory where I have, this is back in Bangkok, so I was taking a train back home, right?

I noticed that one of the people on the train recognized me.

We got off at the same station, we were walking to around the same area, same district.

And it got to the point where the fan, I totally understand her, she got nervous, and so she turn around and then she said,

please don't worry, I'm not following you, I'm just going home.

I'm not a stalker.

Yeah, I'm not a stalker, I'm just walking home.

Is there a particular director that you would love to work with?

Christopher Nolan, definitely.

Another name that popped up was James Gunn.

But they're two very distinct genres, right?

Between like Nolan style film and James Gunn's more like superhero stuff.

But yeah, both would be very interesting to work with.

Wait, are we gonna see you as a superhero one day?

Sato.

Sato basically means like bless you or like hopefully.

What do you do to reconnect with yourself?

I'm someone who's really into cars.

I really enjoy driving, and a late night drive tends to clear my mind pretty well.

Are we in silence?

Do we have the music blasting?

Are the windows down?

Windows are up, music is blasting.

Just me and the focus of the road.

What do you feel most grateful for?

For the fans, for the opportunity.

How many times would I have the opportunity opportunity to fly around the world, meet people from all around the world, work with them.

How many times in my in a person's lifetime would they be able to perform a concert in an arena setting?

That is something that I am extremely grateful for and it is a thought that has constantly crossed my mind

ever since I started working until now.

On that note, thank you so much.

Thank you as well.

And I will just let you be and rest in this gigantic bed.

Thank you.

Kapun ka.

Kapun e khat.

Who Will Benefit from This Video?

This video is perfect for intermediate English learners aiming to refine conversational fluency and cultural understanding. The relaxed dialogue between the interviewer and Phuwin Tangsakyuen features natural pacing, casual phrasing, and real-world topics—ideal for practicing shadow speech or honing listening skills. Whether you’re preparing for everyday conversations or want to sound more authentic, the video’s unscripted flow makes it a standout resource for mastering conversational tone.

Words & Idioms Worth Stealing

The conversation is packed with practical expressions. Here are key phrases to add to your toolkit:

"Fall back on": To rely on someone/something. Example: "I’m blessed to have a community to fall back on."
"Weirds them out": Makes someone feel uncomfortable. Example: "It still weirds them out when people ask if we’re related."
"Can of worms": A complicated problem. Example: "Clearing things up creates another can of worms."
"Break through": To succeed in a competitive field. Example: "Up-and-coming actors trying to break through need resilience."

How to Get the Accent Right

Phuwin’s speech is clear and slightly formal, with a focus on stress and intonation that’s easy to mimic—great for shadowing technique practice. Here’s how to nail it:

Stress on key words: Notice how he emphasizes "very, very supportive" and "9 out of 10 times" to convey emotion. Repeat these phrases, stressing the same words to match his emphasis.
Natural pauses: He pauses before sharing personal thoughts (e.g., "I’m thinking whether I should say this or not"). Use these pauses to practice pacing—don’t rush through reflective moments.
Casual contractions: Phrases like "it’s" and "they’ve" are used frequently. Mimic these to sound more conversational. A shadowing site can help you record and compare your pronunciation to his.

Practice daily with short clips, using shadow speak to mirror his tone and rhythm. Over time, you’ll notice your speech becoming more natural and confident—just like Phuwin’s.

Relative clauses who / which + clause — extra information about a person or thing	one who is · people who support · person who gets

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
