Voice acting in video games is an art form in itself and though it is seemingly easy to perform, it is one of the most difficult things to pull off, while developing a game, especially when talking about a game of Valorant's stature.

It is the role of the voice actor to give the in-game characters that much-needed zest of life and personality to make them memorable and life-like. And in Valorant, the actors have done an incredible job in infusing the agents with their very own personalities, which make each of them unique and remarkable.

Who are the voices behind the Valorant agents?

The Valorant closed-beta started earlier this April and began with a roster of 10 agents.

#1 Brimstone: Voiced by Steve Blum.
