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.
