About Excellent Talent
Founded in 1996, Excellent Talent has developed an outstanding reputation for providing some of the best talent to a wide range of creative clients in the UK and across the globe.
We recognized early on that the voiceover industry did not use technology to its advantage. As the industry picked up, and needed access to reels outside of regular office hours, we thought ‘why not move online?’, instead of waiting on couriers to deliver a batch of cassette tapes. Countless other agencies followed suit, allowing us all to become more efficient, making life easier for both talent and clients across the industry. This set the tone for Excellent throughout the years: help set the trend, but have fun while you’re doing it!
Here we are 25 years later, and we have successfully launched a Presenter’s division. We are continuing to expand, grow and forever remain Excellent while doing so!
The Excellent Voice Company is founded by brothers Jon Briggs and Pete Gold. Clients can access voiceover showreels using a touch-tone phone service, dubbed “The Megaphone”.
