Meet Kim Hạnh, also known as @kimhanh_chualanh on TikTok. She is a visionary content creator blending cultural storytelling with cutting-edge AI tools. Her mission is to give rural Vietnamese voices a global stage through music and motion-powered avatars. Giving voice to the voiceless
Hạnh’s creative journey began with a simple idea: use AI to help those with limited resources share their stories. Many aspiring creators in Vietnam's rural areas lack access to professional video tools. Through HeyGen, Hạnh has created a workflow to generate personalized, avatar-led videos that reflect her culture, values, and musical roots.
“They have talent but don’t know how to express it or have access to the necessary technology to express themselves.”
Her video of an avatar chanting the Great Compassion Mantra went viral, not just for its artistry, but for what it symbolized—a new form of spiritual and cultural expression, made accessible through AI. Watch it here. The process behind the music videos
Hạnh’s process is both technical and personal. Each video begins with a set of about 10 training photos which she uploads and manually removes the backgrounds to keep a consistent black backdrop. She then uses HeyGen to generate expressive avatars, syncing them to custom MP3s that she often produces with Suno.
She devotes significant time each day to refining her videos and fine-tuning avatar movements, syncing vocals to music, and adjusting emotional expressions to achieve a lifelike feel.
Her creation stats so far:
- Over 1,000 avatars trained with motion
- 2,000+ original songs created
- 600+ music videos produced
“When I first shared my videos, many friends doubted and even ridiculed me. But I believe technology is a tool that empowers people.”
What makes her approach stand out
What sets Hạnh apart is her belief in AI as an equalizer. She’s using HeyGen not only to create content but to shift what’s possible for small creators with big ideas.
Through consistent TikTok posting, she’s built a loyal following and helped spotlight the creative energy in Vietnam’s TikTok community. She’s showing what’s possible when a creative vision is powered by AI tools like HeyGen.
