Many people believe that People's Artist Tuyet Mai has a versatile, conquering, and heroic voice in her commentary and editorials, and is fiery in her victory news and important combat orders from the Party and State, adding strength to the frontline and the rear, urging those who have made mistakes to turn back.
But to have that brand, People's Artist Tuyet Mai also had to sweat a lot, work hard for a brand, work hard for the expectations and love of many generations of listeners. The profession that one thought would never be exposed to the sun or rain, turned out to be full of hardships. Just thinking that just being round and clear in writing was enough, unexpectedly, like a daughter-in-law of hundreds of families, the pressure of time, of praise and criticism, the expectations of the writer, the responsibility of the professional, reading to decode the contemplations of life wrapped in each page, reading to bring hearts to hearts, for people to think of each other and live a beautiful life, that is really not easy.
In 1958, she married Meritorious Artist Phan Phuc - Head of the Voice of Vietnam Music Group. The couple had a daughter, musician Phan Tuyet Minh. Many years after People's Artist Tuyet Mai retired, listeners still hear People's Artist Tuyet Mai's voice on many radio stations.
