Final Fantasy VIII Fandub Child Auditions

Project Overview

Hey, everyone! I am the Lead Director of the Final Fantasy VIII Fandub on Youtube! While our dub is still going, we will soon be in need of even more voices. 


To get caught up with the project, you can check out our Youtube channel here, if you're interested:


This particular casting call is for the main cast of Final Fantasy VIII as children. We will need a young Squall, Quistis, Irvine, Seifer, and Ellone. Not all of these roles will be needed immediately upon casting -- only Squall and Ellone will be required at first. However, all of these characters appear on Disc 2 -- and as we will soon be starting on said disc, we figured we would go ahead and cast each role so they will be set when we finally reach that point in the game.



Despite being the younger counterparts of the main characters, these roles require very few lines. We need VAs who are good in child-like roles, and we will need our young  Ellone to be ready to start ASAP and young Squall a short time later. The deadline is marked for around the time we expect to begin work on the episode in which they appear. The rest of the cast will be contacted to begin their work on the dub later this year.



Some of the children have noticeably less lines than others. For those in particular, less lines have been provided for the auditions process to avoid feeding you all of them before being cast. There is also the likelihood of being given handwritten lines to expand more on the character and give the VA(s) more to work with.



Make no mistake -- this dub is happening and we will be going all the way with it. We have been going strong for nearly a year now with 12 episodes and the 13th one in the final phases of editing, with episode 14 to begin very soon. We have a dedicated cast and fans, with positive responses to the episodes and the voice-acting! We have a 150+ subscribers on Youtube and a collective amount on Facebook, with those numbers growing with each episode we release -- and a sum total of 5,000 collective views altogether.



You can view our Facebook page here:




The cast also maintains frequent contact with one another, so everyone gets along great, keeps their performances going strong, and you will be working alongside some truly talented people!



If you have any questions, please contact me, or the Assistant Directors, Dr. Bonehead or Takigan.

Thanks for auditioning, and best of luck to all!

Role assigned to: jay levi

As the name implies, this is the child version of the more mature adult seen in other parts of the story. She is carefree, friendly, and despite her age, she displays surprising maturity, going so far as to have an adult conversation with her adoptive mother, Raine. She is believed to be no older than age 5.


Not much is known about her childhood, but she plays an important role in the plot of Final Fantasy VIII.

  • "Uncle Laguna! There's someone here to see yoo!" - Excited as she runs onto the scene, eager to tell Laguna he has a visitor.

  • "Raine? Aren't yoo gonna marry Uncle Laguna?" - (A bit more concerned here; confused even.)  She can tell Laguna and Raine like each other and wonders what's going on between them.

  • "But I really like him! Raine, Elle, and Uncle Laguna should all be together!" - Ellone is almost pleading here. She has grown fond of Laguna and just wants them all to be a family.

Young Squall

Unpaid
Role assigned to: SeterraVA

Young Squall is the child counterpart of our leading man, Squall Leonhart. Much like his teenaged counterpart, he is quiet, sullen, and always seen alone. He has a close connection to Ellone and is noticeably affected when she leaves one day. It is this event that brought Squall to close himself up from the world and create the wall he has around himself during the events of the game. He is speculated to be about 5 years of age.




The VA will often need to sound sad as the character is most often seen wallowing about his "Big Sis". While this is not the only emotion young Squall portrays, it is the most common one.

  • "...Sis... I'm...all alone. But, I'm doing my best... I'll be okay without you, Sis. I'll be able to take care of myself." -- Young Squall heartbroken that his older sister has abandoned him. He is alone, staring at the ground, wondering what he might have done wrong while resolving to grow strong in her absence.

Role assigned to: jva25

Young Seifer is a lot like his teenaged counterpart and is seen mocking Zell even in their youth, which plays into their time as teenagers during the events of the game. He is officially Zell's self-proclaimed "archenemy" and enjoys making fun of him at every turn.


He comes off as a bit bratty and the "bully" of the group, with all of his lines expressing nothing but mockery at Zell's expense. He is speculated to be no older than 6 years of age.

  • "Cry baby, Ze-ell! Go back to bed!" - Seifer antagonizing Zell after the latter threatens to tell on them.

  • "Haha! What a baby." -- A bit more snide on this one. Seifer sees Zell crying and is only more inspired to continue.

Young Irvine

cast offsite

Unlike his teenaged counterpart, young Irvine does not display much of a romantic side. He is a lot more casual and innocent as a child, but still harbors feelings for Selphie. 


Also much unlike his older self, he does not don a cowboy hat or said attire, giving no indication as to the kind of person he grows up to be during the events of the game.

  • "Sefie, whatcha' playin'?" -- (Excited; curious.)  Irvine has just been invited to join a game with Selphie and her friends.

  • "Come on, Seifer. Leave him alone..." -- (Upset; a little nervous)  Irvine is watching Seifer mock Zell, but stands a few feet back, refusing to get too involved.

Young Quistis

cast offsite

As a child, Quistis was always the "older sister" of the group and is said to be "bossy", thus "difficult to deal with" as noted by others. Nevertheless, the other orphans look up to her and affectionately refer to her as "Quisty". 


She is only 1 year older than the rest of the children, but still feels it her job to keep them in line and watch out for them. She is speculated to be about 6 years of age.

  • "Wait for us!" --  Quistis is running to catch up to Irvine, whom has run ahead of her and the others.

  • "Will you two stop it already?" -- (Annoyed, and a bit angry.)  Seifer is mocking Zell, making him cry, and Quistis is trying to stop it.
