UPDATE! 8-5-2012: I provided lines for all of the evil forest characters and character descriptions for major characters! Let me know if you need more information on the characters!
AUDIO ONLY AUDITIONS: Audio only should be provided as Mp3 files because these are most compatible with my computer. Send them in a zip if there is a lot and send them as a private message to me on this site or Youtube through media fire. My name is Janneson on youtube also! Just like youtube they may be no older then 2 months.
VIDEO AUDITIONS: may be no older then 2 months. Send in your videos as video responses on the video provided or links in an email to me!
There is no set date for when the auditions end. They will end when I am done moving and getting settled down. Most likely I will be moving sometime around or in September but it could be longer. So that gives you plenty of time to audition and work on your voices. IF YOU WANT A WARNING A WEEKS ADVANCE WHEN THE DEADLINE IS SET leave a comment in on the video or in this thread!!!! And I will private message you so you know that the auditions will end soon!
Final Fantasy IX is rated T for Teen for suggestive themes and some cursing. If you are uncomfortable with cursing don't audition for a Tantulus character please.
Running Auditions for Final Fantasy IX Chapter 2! The fan-dubbing will take place in the evil forest. Old and new voice actors are welcome. We will not be doing auditions for characters that do not appear in the evil forest! Those characters will become available in later chapters! If you receive a role in Chapter 2 when the dub is complete and I decide to proceed with chapter three you will be given the option to leave or stay in the fandub and keep your character (Yes you can still audition for other characters as well). If you leave then your character or characterS will be posted as available for other to audition for in the next chapter. This dub will most likely move much slower then the other dubs I have worked on due to the fact that I must juggle college work and my personal life.
I'm not going to be SUPER picky about your mics quality just please avoid breathing into the mic or making a lot of popping sounds when you record. I'm going to ask that you download Audacity and take a tutorial on how to remove white noise though. Audacity is perfectly free and legal to use I will provide you with download links if you are accepted into the fandub.

Lmao! Seems so, eh? I'm trying to look for lines to audition for selected characters because I was going to post separate vids in bulk to elliminate waiting. I was actually thinking of making a folder of character lines that were completed in case something happened to me or my net which would have all the lines for the characters done already. I've wanted one of those for so long now. Just so that if one of my actors can't do something, I have all their lines anyway. All that person would have to do is request the files from me. If I'm cast as a certain character in your dub, I might send you a bulk of all the lines that character ever has and then fill in or redo what I need to. It would really save time and frustration for any director I would think when deadlines are considered. Even if they're not used now, the director might go back and complete it later, right? But I'll see what happens.

Something I just want to be clear about regarding the audition lines... for example, say someone's auditioning for Zidane. He has lines in both the "main character" section as well as the section below with Blank, Cinna, and Baku. Should they use the lines in that section as well, or just go with the ones in the top section?

Thank you CarboardWalk. Yes it should be posted in a week or so. Work and school are keeping me busy though but I will do my best to keep everyone posted.
