@maverickbatesJust a guy who's eager to voice in your project!
My name is Maverick, I'm an aspiring voice actor. It's been a passion of mine since I was in high-school. No project is ever too small or big, I'm just excited to be a part. I've had the absolute pleasure of working on some amazing projects since joining this site back when it was Voice acting alliance.
I grew up absolutely enamored with fantasy and adventure films, books, and video games.
Fun fact about me, I saw Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring 10 times in a row when it first came to theaters as a little boy! My love of video games and animations drove me to pursue voice acting as a teen, and I havent stopped since. Ive been in a few stage productions as a high schooler, and used to make amateur films with my friends.
I have worked in various Machinima and Mod projects for Skyrim, various student films, short animations, as well as doing announcer voice over for a few indie games. In working in those projects ive met many people I consider close friends. I like to maintain both a professional and friendly relationship with my directors and co-actors
I went to college in china and as a result speak pretty OK mandarin with a pretty noticeable ChangSha accent. I speak Russian to a decent degree, and am cureently learning italian, and I can get by in Japanese (nothing super fluent, just very basic communication) I will research and practice any accent needed until it sounds natural and authentic!
My Voice Actor role models are Takaya Kuroda, Jeremy Irons, Alan Tudyk, Jim Cummings, Ralph Fiennes, Sergei Bezrukov, Oleg Tabakov, Idris Elba, Tom McKay, Luke Dale and Kenjiro Tsuda
I am passionate about my performances and will give you no less than my best! Want something re-done? Im right on it! You found extra lines not included in the script? Hand em over and Im right on it!
Negotiable, I am completely flexible to meet project needs. While financial hardship is what pushes me to audition for higher paying roles, I wont turn down the chance to work in projects that can't pay.
I prefer character roles, but I also will be more than happy to perform narration as well!

Maverick was an absolute thrill to work with. He voiced Vincent in my upcoming project and he really, really delivered. He was able to voice a dull, monotonous space captain but also deliver such amazing lines for the more vulnerable/emotional parts. He is committed to your project -- the guy to get the job done -- and is a great communicator, which is hard to find in some voice actors nowadays. Definitely recommend, and would be happy to work with him again in the future!
