Radio imaging firm Benztown is accepting applications for its 9th annual Benztown 50, the industry’s exclusive listing of the top 50 voice over artists in the United States and Canada.
The application period opened November 30 and will run through January 13, 2023. The Benztown 50 will be based on several criteria, including number of radio station affiliates, station size and market.
Benztown says it has partnered with P1 Media Group to compile and analyze industry data that will be the foundation for the Benztown 50.
“We are honored to highlight the role of outstanding VO talent in shaping and growing some of the most successful brands in audio,” Dave “Chachi” Denes, the president of Benztown, said in a statement. “Great VO artists drive the listening experience through their deep knowledge and embodiment of each brand they represent. They speak to their respective audiences in a way that connects with and holds listeners and tells the brand story in an incomparable and compelling way. As a company dedicated to creating the highest quality audio content in the world, we are proud to recognize the achievements of our industry’s superstars.”
“It’s a great privilege for P1 Media Group to again team with Benztown to identify and honor these incredible artists,” Ken Benson, a partner at P1 Media Group, said. “While these superstars remain nameless to millions of listeners, the Benztown 50 is a wonderful way to scream the names of these exceptional artists to our industry each year. I wrote many promos during my years as a Program Director. I would depend on these artists’ unique voices, reads, and personalities to bring my station to life.”
