About Maxim Reston
Background
I am a voice artist, actor and motion capture performer. Growing up with a burning drive to act from age ten, I acted in school plays before joining the National Youth Theatre at seventeen. I studied French and Spanish at Oxford University, graduating with an MA before moving to London to pursue a career in acting, where I co-founded Mongrel Thumb theatre, producing and performing in several critically-acclaimed off-West End productions.
Training
I am an alumnus of the Bristol Academy of Voice Acting (BRAVA). I have also trained in Mo-cap and Performance Capture with the prestigious Performance Captured Academy and The Mocap Vaults, the perfect complement to my time studying movement and physical theatre at the legendary Ecole Internationale de Theatre Jacques Lecoq in Paris. I am an Avid Certified User for Pro Tools, with training in Pro Tools Fundamentals 101/110 from the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance in London, for professional recording in a studio setting.
“Maxim is an actor of such class and quality that it has been a complete privilege to work with him. He has celebrated some incredible work across corporate, commercial and gaming and we look forward to his continued success.”
- Melissa Thom, Founder and CEO of BRAVA
Experience
Commercials include major TV campaigns for Dexcom, OTR Cocktails and Celebrity Cruises, while video game work includes Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince, Jagged Alliance 3, Mortal Shell and Demeo, alongside upcoming AAA projects for SIDE Global and Pitstop Productions. I lend intelligent narration to documentaries, travel guides, corporate explainers and everything in between, with some creative character work for genre-splicing children’s storybook apps and animations thrown in for good measure. As an actor I have worked for the BBC, Channel 4 and Royal Shakespeare Company, and appeared in London’s West End.
Services
I offer a high end service covering the full spectrum of voiceover work, including but not limited to; commercials, narration, corporate, medical, video games, animation, radio, podcasts, ADR and dubbing. I can travel to record within the Greater London area and am fully set up for remote recording, with the option for live directed sessions (including ADR/dubbing) via Source Connect, Zoom, Google Meet or Teams.
