Final Fantasy IX FanDub was a massive (completed) undertaking that launched in 2010. It has become one of the most-watched Final Fantasy Fandubs on YouTube with over 230,000 Views. We've since expanded to create a playable mod called Project Terra with many of our Voice Actors reprising their prior roles. Together, we are creating a mod that adds voice-overs and a modernized (but faithful) recomposition of the Final Fantasy IX OST. You will be contributing to one of the most ambitious community projects the Final Fantasy franchise has ever seen, and we aim to deliver an exceptional experience. As we are working with intellectual property, any contribution is voluntary, but our contributors will be credited for their involvement. If you have the skills to be of help, please join our public Discord.

Important:
This project is a commitment in which over 120 Voice Actors, Composers, and Audio Engineers are voluntarily putting aside significant workloads to produce an outstanding result. This is not a YouTube Fandub where we can easily swap out a Voice Actor that has to leave the project with commitments still in place. If this happens, the team will be required to recast the Voice Actor and all prior dialog for that character will need to be re-recorded. This also puts additional stress on the Audio Engineers and sets back deadlines for new Voice Actors that need to catch up. You must be active on Discord and you must be responsive to communication when a member of our management team reaches out. We are very accommodating when it comes to extensions.

Applications/Auditions will be assessed based on your level of Voice Acting, the quality of your microphone, and your ability to minimize things like background noise, audio peaking, and quality loss from noise suppression.

If you have challenges with sound reflection, some of our Voice Actors have navigated these hurdles by covering a thick blanket over themselves and their microphone. It really depends on the acoustics of your environment. Most importantly... Have fun!

Latest Updates

  • Auditions have Re-Opened!

    With over 100 talented Voice Actors following the project, I'd like to take a moment to share that Auditions have reopened. This is a good opportunity to share with your friends/colleagues to submit their demo if they want to join our recurring cast.

    Keep in mind, Project Terra is not a YouTube Dub. We're dubbing official Steam copies of Final Fantasy IX into a playable user experience, as well as a faithful freshening up of the soundtrack.

    If you submit your Audition and haven't heard back within 48 hours, please don't let it discourage you. We have strict standards when it comes to a Voice Actor's skill and their room acoustics. Our Project Director is also managing a lot of different talent pools on the Discord. Your best shot at joining the project is to ensure your acting is top-notch and that there isn't any room echo being picked up on your microphone.

Ramuh is an eidolon in Final Fantasy IX who can be acquired as a summon for Dagger. He is a Lightning-elemental summon who takes the form of an old man. He is the first eidolon Dagger is likely to summon. He is known as Old Man Ramuh when met.


This should sound friendly, wise, and conversational.

  • "Once upon a time, 33 small countries fought together against an empire. One day, a rebel troop visited a man named Joseph, who lived with his daughter. Owing a debt to the troops, he gladly accepted their plea for help. They headed for a cavern in the snow field. That's 'Beginning.'

Princess Garnet (Lead Female Role)
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: Aurora Rosalia

IMPORTANT INFORMATION -- PLEASE READ
This is a Lead Role. Our project typically progresses in sections every one to three weeks (depending on the size). You will need a decent microphone and strong acoustics. We cannot utilize any Voice Actor recording in an environment that is picking up noticeable room echo. You will also be expected to commit to the role until completion. If you bow out prior to completion, everything that has been recorded will need to be scrapped and re-recorded by another Voice Actor.

CHARACTERISTICS
This is a very challenging role. Dagger is highly emotional and shows this both internally and externally. She commands most of the story trying to learn of Alexandria's suspicious activities that are happening behind her back. Nobody in Alexandria will believe her, so she attempts to flee to Lindblum to seek her Uncle's assistance. As she becomes increasingly more aware of the Queen's involvement (her mother), she starts realizing that not only is the welfare of her kingdom in jeopardy, but also of her mother. At the center of all this is a foreign memory of a massive ocean storm that is somehow connected to her past.

DIRECTION
The Voice Actor needs an authentic British accent. You don't need to be fluent with a North American accent -- in-fact, it will help with character development if you tend to struggle with it. That being said, being proficient in both a British dialect and a North America dialect will help win you this role.

Your first monologue needs to be very grounded, but approached from a place of love. It is a very emotional moment between Dagger and Eiko. This line is spoken when Dagger finally reflects on what she remembers about the night of the storm.

The second monologue for Dagger / Princess Garnet is during the You're Not Alone segment. Zidane is having an identity crisis, pushing through a barrage of enemies with an severe injury, abandoning most of his friends to fend for themselves. At the end, Dagger steps in and helps him snap out of it with this monologue. It's still approached from an emotional state, but much more of a "Snap out of it" perspective.

Please record both monologues in a British accent and a North American accent.

  • "I have no memory of my early childhood. I never really thought about it. Besides, nobody ever told me. I was raised in Alexandria...but only from the age of six or so. Until then... Until I turned six... I must have been here, in Madain Sari. I still can't remember everything. Some things are like they're shrouded in fog. But I do remember one thing... About ten years ago, an unbelievably huge hurricane hit this village. That's as far as I remember. That day, I...I was with my true mother on a little boat, far from the village. There's a cove behind Eiko's house, right? The boat I was on was just like the one there. It all came back to me when I heard that song on the boat."

  • "You've always protected us. But you still don't understand that we looked out for you, too! We watched your back while you watched ours. And we believed in you the same way you believed in us! Just like you protected us... We want to protect you."

  • "Two phrases are commonly found in documents more than 500 years old... One is 'jewel.' The other is 'summoner tribe.' But 500 years ago, the phrases mysteriously vanished from history... The archaeologist Frederick Ash theorized that 'jewel' refers to the pendant passed down to the ruler of Alexandria. But the pendant... It is much too small to be referring to the same 'jewel.' Other research suggests a relationship between 'eidolons' and 'magic stones'..."

Recurring Roles (Male)

Please read through the Project Description before you audition for a Recurring Role.

You aren't auditioning for a specific character, but rather the ability to play recurring roles. Your participation may also lead to a permanent placement based on your capabilities. If you are interested in getting involved, simply record these three lines with a noticeable degree of range that demonstrates the best of your abilities/dialects.

  • "Oh, you mean about Burmecia? I heard they were attacked by an army of soldiers wearing pointy hats. I wanna go fight on the frontline. Instead, I'm rotting away in this stinkin' place."

  • "Freya, we shall conduct an ancient ceremony to strengthen the sandstorm. Surely, no enemy of ours would attack with the powerful sandstorm protecting Cleyra. And with the help of a dragon knight like you, the storm should grow even more powerful."

  • "I don't know... Fear? I don't want to stop. And maybe I want to run away from it all. But living in the village with everyone fills me with joy. The joy of living with them far outweighs the fear of death. Isn't it the same with you? Traveling with your friends gives your life meaning."

Please read through the Project Description before you audition for a Recurring Role.

We are seeking more female Voice Actors to balance out our recurring cast. Your room treatment must be clear of background noise and room echo. Additionally, if you have a range of character voices, please showcase your skills using the dialog below.

You aren't auditioning for a specific character, but rather the ability to play recurring roles. Your participation may also lead to a permanent placement based on your microphone quality and vocal capabilities. If you are interested in getting involved, simply record these three lines in any animated form or dialect you perform well with.

  • "She has eagerly awaited your return. I am certain she will shower you with praise for our victory. Your supremacy is without question now. Steiner and his Knights of Pluto are nothing compared to you!"

  • "Listen carefully, Princess. You escaped unscathed from the monster, but you're not gonna be so lucky with me. Hand over the pendant right this minute."

  • "What do you beggars want? You are in a holy place. Keep the noise down. Hmph! Just like all the other pointy-hats! No manners at all."
