Celebrating 5 Years!!

On March 16, 2018, The Halp Network was born from a dream between two passionate industry professionals, William “Chip” Beaman, and Julia Bianco Schoeffling.

Since then, our network and services have grown, and so have our group of friends! We thank all of you and are so grateful for the opportunities to help people with their projects, careers, and goals these past five years.

Our work doesn’t stop here! We constantly strive to improve our services, academy offerings, and how we give back to our communities. And we owe our success thus far to everyone’s support!

Thank you for participating in our journey over the past five years. We look forward to many more years of growth and success together!

Thank you to our clients! 🙌

We love all of our clients, and every project we’ve worked on is unique to us! We cannot thank you enough for considering our services for your projects. Whether it’s casting, production, booking, scheduling, signatory, consulting, or anything else we offer, we work hard to help you produce a product with which you are satisfied.

These past five years have granted us exciting opportunities to help amazing clients with their fantastic projects. Some of these within the last year include the new Company of Heroes, the rhythm action game Hi-Fi Rush, and even a national spot with the National Crime Prevention Council for their McGruff campaign.

 

 

For our latest released project, Hi-Fi Rush, we worked with Tango Gameworks to help deliver an action-packed story with writer and director John Johanas and Linx Studio’s Morten Brunbjerg. We’re incredibly proud of the team for achieving an average 10/10 rating on steam and 9/10 ratings on IGN and GameSpot! 

 

 

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II was among our most highly anticipated projects. We’re honored to have worked with a fantastic group of directors and provided many different services for this reboot sequel of the beloved 2009 Call of Duty series installment.

Shout out to our partners! 🎉

We couldn’t have done it without all our fantastic partners! From everyone we have collaborated with, worked alongside, and were referred by, we appreciate you all!

We are proud of our partners for all of their achievements including Empty Sea Audio for their amazing nomination at the 70th Annual Golden Reel Awards for Oustanding Achievement in Sound Editing: Game Dialogue/ADR for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II!

We’re so fortunate to celebrate our 5th anniversary with some friends at the Garland Hotel! The beautiful ballroom was a perfect spot to share our love of games and food while providing an atmospheric area for old and new friends to get to know each other.

 

It was a wonderful time connecting with everyone and seeing where everyone’s journeys have led them.

 

Here’s to another successful 5 years!

How To Clock Out So You Can Lock In

Rest is hard to come by as a creative person. Experts will often tell you to embrace “just being,” but personally, when I try that, a little voice tends to pipe in my head and let me know that I’m falling behind, not doing enough, and then I end up retroactively putting together an in-depth game plan to tackle for when I’m done pretending to “just be.”

A Note on Nuance

...networking isn't just about meeting people. It’s about building genuine professional relationships. The challenge is that authenticity has its own etiquette.

Spinning Feedback Into Fuel

I’m curious, if you’re an actor, singer, engineer, composer, dancer, animator — or like, pursue anything in the arts, can you recall a note you’ve received in the past, or a special nugget of wisdom from a mentor that you can say has genuinely helped shape your craft for the better? A note that’s inspired you to strive to be the best artist you can be? On the flip side…have you received a note that felt like a personal attack or perhaps has made you question your worth as an artist?
