What are "the best" VO agencies and why? |

Find voice talent you like or admire, visit their websites, see who they’re signed with. Then contact them and ask how much or why they like them. You might get a small return but it will be invalueless.

That's a good idea. But there's no unofficial "ranking" among VOs as to which ones are the most competitive etc.? |

Any ranking you get today will likely be worthless next month. It’s a nebulous business with lots personality driven factors that are really hard to quantify.

Fair enough. I have multiple agents. Just wondering if this year I can "level up," if that makes sense. And I'd rather target just a handful than do the usual carpet bomb approach. |

I have known actors to be with a top vo agent and not make benefits and some with more boutique offices earning 6 figures. So, the size of the office doesn't matter as much as the passion of the agents serving you. But since you asked, here ya go:
A3
Atlas
AVO
CESD
DPN
SBV
VOX
Those are the biggies. |

Add KMR (the former Paradigm crew) and Buchwald in NY to that list and I'd say it's complete. |

The Nay Sayers in our business were right when they said it would eventually end in tiers. |
