Mildred Yuan is one of the top agents in the UK who represents world class performers and creatives from every corner of the industry. Her speciality is finding clients that excel in more than one area and help them find out where they want to go next.
Alongside being an agent, one thing you may not know about her is that she’s lived a secret double life as a dancer. She trained at the Ballet Austin Academy in the USA and the Team Diablo Academy in Italy, which many call the elite centre for ballroom and latin dancing. Her training led her on to represent the UK in 7 World and European championships.
Mildred was part of the renowned United Agents until 2023, before starting there in 2012 she was a management consultant where she offered advice to top FTSE 150 brands across a range of businesses. She holds a BA in Economics from Harvard and an MA in English Literature from Cambridge.
She is also a full member of BAFTA, serves on the Personal Manager’s Association (PMA) and does a great amount of work for diversity with the “Diverse Squad” also known as the Racial Diversity Committee.
Mildred discusses the role of an agent and how it’s not exactly what we think it is. One thing she mentioned was that having an agent can get you more opportunities/auditions etc, however the work doesn’t rely solely at the feet of your agent. You as the performer still have to contribute to your career.
In addition, about how she works with her clients, her time with United, the “do’s and don’ts” of working with your agent, how you the performer or creative can find your superpower and how she can work with you to make the career you want.
