Persona 2? Fandubs? In 2018?
Let's give it a shot, boys
This will be a dub of some of the drama tracks on the Persona 2: Innocent Sin CD Errors of Their Youth! I've only got a couple in mind because I have no idea what kind of interest people might have in this, but if enough people like the idea then we might as well do them all. (If this is the case, more roles will be added as well, such as Igor and Nameless.)
The finish products will be uploaded to Youtube in video format, kind of like if it were an audiobook of sorts.
My only guidelines are please have clear audio, and please show emotion! All of these tracks are pretty silly, so don't be afraid to go all out in that aspect. There are links to each character's English dub voice and links to which tracks I took the audition lines from for reference. I would love your own take on the characters, you don't have to sound exactly like the official dub at all!

Tatsuya is the protagonist of Persona 2: Innocent Sin. He initially comes off as cool and aloof, although underneath that demeanor he is an awkward, distant boy who isn't sure what he wants in life.
His voice should be blunt and on the smoother, deeper side; almost deadpan, but not completely without emotion as he does end up getting distressed/embarrassed quite often. He also gets rather...uncharacteristically excited in the third audition line there? That too.
"Th-That's what makes a man..."
"You're not so bad yourself. You've got a huge ego and an annoying personality."
"...Yeah, that's it. Even dogs have their problems! And there're still times when you think the world's a good place, yeah? I know, I know, I feel the same way! It's hard, isn't it?!"

Lisa is an upbeat and confident girl with a hotheaded streak. She knows martial arts and has a crush on Tatsuya.
Lisa's voice should be high-to-medium pitched, energetic and excitable. Perhaps almost borderline childish, but she should definitely sound more like a sassy teenager than a kid.
"Shut up! This is proof of my feelings towards Chinyan!"
"See? Starting this rumor was a great idea, huh?"
"C-Could my Chinyan's beautifully-sculpted body get violated by that...weirdo undie boss?"
Eikichi's dub voice: https://youtu.be/6P4luDpoOuQ?t=2m42s

https://youtu.be/U1rDZIstdGU?t=21s
Eikichi is very arrogant and self-centered, however this mainly serves to cover up his low self-esteem. He tends to lash out and is easily provoked/influenced. Despite all of this, he extremely loyal and caring towards his friends.
His voice should sound confident and self-assured, yet he should have some spontaneity in the sense that he can switch from being cocky to angry/distressed pretty quick.
"Underwear, underwear, that's all you ever say! Do you really want to see my underwear that much?!"
"Look at you, Suou! What a bod. You're like a model!"
"But, y'know...no matter how good he is at it, his repartee...well, is that it?"
Maya's dub voice: https://youtu.be/6P4luDpoOuQ?t=50s

Maya is extremely optimistic, and often remains cheerful and determined even when her feelings are otherwise. She is compassionate and motherly, like a big sister figure.
Her voice should be lighthearted, kind, and encouraging. Even when sad or angry, she should still have at least a sliver of hope in her tone of voice.
"Ahh, so relaxing. Hot springs really are the best after a battle."
"Everyone...please, just forget me."
"The guys are pretty rowdy. Aren't the only ones in there Tatsuya and Eikichi?"
Jun's dub voice: https://youtu.be/6P4luDpoOuQ?t=4m57s
Audition line tracks (in order):
https://youtu.be/aSiFBjmz8Hg?t=1m18s
https://youtu.be/F3bwhx-y5dM?t=1m42s
Jun is introverted and cold on the outside, yet on the inside he is very warm and cares deeply for his friends. He is somewhat self-conscious and fears being left out or thought of as insignificant. He and Tatsuya share a particularly close bond.
Jun's voice should be mellow and soft, yet with an air of intelligence and refinement. For Track 8, there, his voice should morph into one that's more...obsessive and excitable. Borderline yandere, with the laughter. He gets pretty zesty in the drama tracks
"Everyone's...showing off their underwear...s-so I will, too."
"This is a man's feelings."
"Ahahahaha! I see! That means Tatsuya's more compatible with me than Michel! Ahahahahah!"
Yukino's dub voice: https://youtu.be/6P4luDpoOuQ?t=4m
Audition line tracks (in order):

https://youtu.be/BieKjKRPzHM?t=35s
Yukino is an ex-delinquent and Maya's partner, working as a photographer. She is tomboyish and has an aggressive streak, which she gets self conscious about at times.
Her voice should be mature and on the lower side. Something a bit gravelly might work well for her.
"I never thought hot springs could be conjured from a mere rumor."
"...Don't mind me."
"Aha...ahahaha...haha."
