Voice Acting
for Animation
“What I love most about animation is, it’s a team sport, and everything we do is about pure imagination.”
— Jeffrey Katzenburg
Everybody loves cartoons!
We all have that one special cartoon that reminds us of our childhood, that one special movie we used to watch over and over again. Cartoons are an explosion of imagination, a form of boundless escapism that can transport us to far-off worlds or uncover hidden wonders in the everyday. And they just keep getting better and better.
Animation is a labour of love…
…so, it fits that you need to find a voice that does justice to the months, if not years of hard work that’s already been put in by your animators, writers, and sound engineers. A voice that stays true to your vision while bringing its own identity to the role.

Where have I heard your voice?
For the last four years I’ve played the lead role of Tex (and several other characters) in the award-winning educational animated series Katie and Tex for Bold Content Video and Tech She Can. I also narrated and voiced all characters in the children’s animated storybook Weirdwood Manor Volume 2: Rise of the Therimancer for Relish Studios, winner of Best Interactive Youth Content at the 2024 BANFF Rockie Awards. I have provided character voiceover for countless video games and I am a BAFTA Connect member in recognition of my work as a voice actor.

“I had the pleasure of working with Maxim in late 2022. His talent and ability to follow the direction we needed to get quick and easy results were truly appreciated. The project required a diverse range of voices, and he was able to hit the mark every time. When we needed revisions made, he was communicative and accommodating. Highly recommended!”
