After how well (I think) I pulled off Odine, I thought i'd try Ultimecia, since it's a similar style of speech... Absolutely horrible 
Not sure who else I could try, bar Odine tbh

Ummm, hai~
I'd like to audition if I could, but I'm not quite sure on the WHO yet XD
The main problem would be my accent though, I'm an Australian, so that's gonna show XD So I probably won't go for any of the kiddy roles, that'll just sound strange, kid someone with an Aussie accent, and adult someone else with a different one! XD
Oh my, I'm rambling, so I shall shut up now and figure out who to record for XD

^^ Well if you're a girl you could try out for Xu, and if you're a guy, why don't you try out for Wedge?

Well I can make an attempt at the pair, I just don't think my voice fits the bill well enough for either of them (damn lively characters! 
)
But I can at least get some Odine clips together, any preferrable file format?

Well, I'm a female baritone, so pretty much I'm a girl with a voice as deep as your average guy XD (Means I make good evil women (Such as Cloud of Darkness and Maleficient, fandubbed them both before XD), shame I can't do accents otherwise I'd attempt to do Ultimecia as well, cause I have the voice)
I did some clips for Zell, Raijin, Xu and Moombas so far, I shall get them to you when I get home in 3 hours or so. I'll probably do some more lines as well, just so you can have some options on where to put me and what I can do with my voice and stuff.
I would've tried Ultimecia since she has a quirky accent type thing like Odine, but it didn't work out, can't get anywhere near deep enough to be convincing, much less lively enough for the aforementioned two
I might take a crack at Nida and then start sorting out the files to send

Alrighty ^^ Wav or MP4 or MP3 doesn't matter, we have a converting program.
Don't need to be shy, just go for it =) We're no better really

Awesome ^^ I have a pretty bright voice, so when I even only tried to make Quistis I had to pass xD I'm looking forward to your audition!
Love,

Alright, so I'm uploading a video now(I'll be WheelyRamp) with all my auditons XD
I ended up doing 9 auditions, Caraway's Guard, Moomba, Kid and Normal Zell, Piet, Xu, Raijin, Ultimecia and Wedge XDDDDDDDDD I know in some of them, I slipped out of voice, but I was just sort of, figuring out the voices in this XD

Welcome to the team ^^ You have a very interesting voice. I love your accent!
Thank you very much~! I'll be happy to do those three roles for you, for sure XD I wasn't sure about my kiddy Zell, except for the cute pitiful noise I ended up making just before he tells Seifer to stop it XDDDD
As for my voice, it is a strange one XD Normally, I think I sound like I'm constantly singing. And thank you! Everyone seems to love it

Your voice IS great ^^ No denying here
I'm glad you're in our team. I'm German, if anyone except Odine (especially Rinoa that I'm making) had a German accent it'd be terrible xD But your accent, as you named it, it's lovable ^^Rinoa Leonhart

_Symphonia Hey not bad ! I love Quistis's laugh. It sounds kinda goofy yet really suits her character.
Can't wait to hear Zell & Seifer !
Thank you very much ^^ She's my sister, she'll be happy to hear that =)
I can't wait either since neither of them sent their lines yet >-< Seifer has been grounded, and Zell has a cold. xD Sort of fits to the characters but we'll have to see if we gotta recast at least Zell, since he wasn't even cast yet before he already started having extra wishes.

You know, call me naive but I didn't realise that people actually dubbed the game, until I saw this thread. After checking out the first part the other day I had a look around some others on YT - gotta say, this is probably my favourite version so far. It would be unfair to just mention one performance so far, as everyone seems to have been very good in the first couple, however, from the other videos that I've seen, Squall seems to be particularly problematic for most people as they play it too flat and it ends up just sounding like someone reading lines (which of course it is, but still!). There are a few exceptions around though, but your partner's, and perhaps one other one that I found, are easily the best versions.
Like I said though, I don't really want to dwell on one performance as everyone's impressed me in the first two vids. The mixture of accents across the characters works very well IMO, and probably helps set your version out from the rest.
Again, bravo. I'd been looking forward to more since watching the first vid. Thankfully, despite the problems you mentioned, we didn't have to wait too long at all!
