Articles, blogs and what’s happening now at Halp
Meet Maihan, the Community and Events Coordinator at The Halp Network, also known as your friendly neighborhood class moderator. Maihan is an Asian-American voice actor born and raised in Southern California, between the edges of culturally rich Los Angeles and Orange County. Maihan (aka Han!) has the unique experience of organizing classes and building communities for her fellow actors while pursuing a voice acting career. She can be found utilizing her Bachelor’s degree in Entertainment Business and Tourism Management through production work on video games, and managing events and communities professionally. When not playing Final Fantasy XIV, Han is mastering the art of all-you-can-eat, drinking her weight in boba milk teas, and showing off photos of her cats, Lucky “Marshie” Marshmallow and Anthony “Toni” Macaroni.
A decent paint set, because having a hobby outside of voice acting is super important to your growth.

Keep it messy! We’re human and imperfect, so our performances should reflect that.
What everyone says about this all being a marathon and not a race is absolutely true and there are more people rooting for you than you think.

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?
