The Daily Routine of a VALORANT Caster with Vansilli
What does a day in the life of a top-tier VALORANT caster look like? According to Vansilli, who joined us on the very first episode of the Aimlabs Podcast, it’s a carefully balanced dance between family life, travel, prep work, and, surprisingly, Taco Bell. Here’s a closer look at how he juggles it all while keeping the hype alive on broadcast.
Mornings start with caffeine, after Vansilli kicks off his day with a strong cup of coffee and quality time with his family, he shifts focus to his work. Between flights from Montreal to LA and juggling casting duties, he makes sure to arrive a day early for big events. That extra time? It’s reserved for prep.
Once on location, it’s grind time. Before arriving, Vansilli joins weekly planning sessions with the Riot Games team and fellow casters to align on storylines, highlight players, and brainstorm skits or creative elements to elevate the show, and that process continues when Vansilli is on location. The vibe is collaborative and fun, but make no mistake, this is where the real ground work for a standout broadcast gets laid down.
And then comes the fuel: Taco Bell. Yes, in a city filled with food options that some would kill for, Vansilli sticks to the classics, hard shell tacos, to be specific. It’s his go-to casting prep meal, and it’s a guilty pleasure that he shares with Aimlabs’ founder, Wayne. With a party pack in hand, he dives into match demos, studying team tactics and movement. This analysis helps him break down gameplay in a way that’s digestible for viewers, whether they’re die-hard fans or tuning in for the first time.
Come match day, it’s showtime. On the mic, Vansilli brings the energy, weaving clutch plays into a narrative that keeps fans hooked. Even after the final round, the work isn’t over, he’s back to reviewing plays, sharing insights on social, and interacting with the community. Eventually, the headset comes off, and it’s back to dad mode for some well-earned evening wind-down.
