Are we crazy or is that Troy Baker?
GTA 6 fever is spreading faster than a five-star wanted chase across the streets of Florida.
Everyone is desperate to know more about the new world, the returning Vice City and who is the voice behind the new protagonist Lucia.
As of the time of writing, Rockstar has yet to formally announce which voice actors are portraying some of the characters we were introduced to in the first GTA 6 trailer.
Well, we’re all aware of how secretive the developers can be. That hasn’t stopped people from speculating endlessly across social media, though – and, to be fair, there are a few interesting names that could fit the bill.
Mainly, we want to discuss the two main protagonists and who we think Rockstar could pick to lead the next Grand Theft Auto.
We’ll also round up some of the latest rumours and theories surrounding the GTA 6 voice actors. Head below to get started.
Who are the GTA 6 voice actors? Rumours explained
Lucia
Many people are speculating that the first female protagonist in a GTA since the ’90s is being voiced by Alexandra C Echavarri.
This has stemmed from the actor’s IMDb page which, according to reports, originally listed a GTA 6 credit (via X) before then later being removed.
However, the Puerto Rican/Cuban actress confirmed in an Instagram post that she voiced Lupe in GTA Online, and will not appear in GTA 6. Even still, some are not convinced that she isn’t voicing Lucia.
Another name that is doing the rounds is Leslie Lluvet. However, the actor came out to deny any involvement earlier this year in an Instagram story (via IGN) after being questioned by fans.
This leaves us with little to go with at the minute, with the chances of it being an up-and-comer entirely possible considering Rockstar’s hiring history.
The one pick we’ve seen that we think might have some merit (again, pure speculation) is Natalie Morales, who was born in Miami, Florida, and is of Cuban descent.
The actor has appeared in Parks and Recreation, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Battle of the Sexes and directed Plan B in 2021 for Hulu.
Male protagonist
We don’t even officially know the male protagonist’s name (though everyone is convinced it’s Jason) at this point.
That said, the most common name surrounding the voice is Troy Baker, best known as Joel in The Last of Us. If you do listen to the character’s “Trust” line at the end of the GTA 6 trailer, it’s easy to connect the dots. We’ve not heard anything from Baker since the trailer dropped either.
Stephanie
Stephanie is the prison warden seen speaking to Lucia at the beginning of the GTA 6 trailer. We know this as a nameplate is positioned on her desk. Chances are this is a small role, and the actor’s voice won’t be announced until near to the game’s release.
