Excuse me... I saw a lot of Police Officers in Shibuya. Did something happen?
Don't cause any trouble... Huh.
W-Wait a minute! I don't understand a thing you're talking about!
For this role, we need somebody, male or female, with a high pitch voice and who can make sound effects with their voice, in the sense that they need to make it sound like they're getting beat up at times. We also need this actor to be able to make cat and purring noises, so please include that in your audition reel!

I'm hatching an escape plan over here! We'll be in trouble if the guards come!
You guys are different from guys in here...

The voice actor chosen must be ok with excessive profanity, considering Ryuji uses the most in the anime and games and even more in the manga. They must also be able to make their voices sound as if they're getting beat up.

We didn't... come through the wrong way though... That's the same alley I go through every day, right?
H-Hey! This is bad! This shit's real, man! Run! Just leave me and run!
Right on! Wassup Persona? This effin rocks! Now that I got this power, it's time for payback... Yo... I'm ready. Bring it!
The voice actor for all of the male Personas must have a malleable voice so they can change it for each Persona awakening. Do with this information what you will for your audition. Goemon, the first voice line, was based on a Japanese outlaw. Arséne was based on the elusive Phantom Thief, Arséne Lupin from London. Captain Kidd, the third voice line, was based on the seventeenth century pirate captain known as Captain Kidd.

Have you finally come to your senses? How foolishly you averted your eyes from the truth... A deplorable imitation indeed... Best you part from that aspect of yourself! Let us now forge a contract... I am thou, thou art I... The world is filled with beauty and vice... It is time you teach people which is which!
Very well. I have heeded your resolve. Vow to me! I am thou, thou art I. Thou who art willing to perform all sacrilegious acts for thine own justice. I am the Pillager of Twilight, ARSÉNE!
You have made me wait quite a while. You seek power, yes? Then let us form a pact. Since your name has already been disgraced why not hoist the flag and wreak havoc? That is what your other self sorely desires. I am thou, thou art I... There is no turning back. The skull of rebellion is your flag henceforth!

I'm going to make Kamoshida atone for what he did... I won't let any more people suffer because of him. I'll do whatever it takes!
I hear you... Carmen. You're right. No more holding back!
Yeah! Ever since middle school. I would space out in class and she was the only one who'd talk to me. But he did something terrible to her... I'll make him pay! That's right! I won't stay quiet while this scumbag talks shit!
The voice actor for this role must have a very malleable voice, meaning they must be able to change it around a lot. Here is some information on these Personas, for your auditions.

My... It's taken far too long. Tell me... Who is going to avenge her if you don't? Forgiving him was never the option... Such is the scream of the other you that dwells within... I am thou, thou art I... We can finally forge a contract... There you go... Nothing can be solved by restraining yourself. Understand? Then I'll gladly lend you my strength.
What denies you is an illusion... A curse put upon you by the heartless... You knew from the very beginning... And yet, you cowered in fear... Will you die as you are told...? Who will you obey...? Cursed words spat out by a seething illusion? Or the truth within your own soul? Contract... I am thou, thou art I... The forbidden wisdom has been revealed. No mysteries... No illusions shall deceive you any longer.
I see you finally made up your mind... my dear, fated princess. Freedom for you must stem from betrayal. If you still yearn for it now... then you must not err. Now, tell me... Who shall you betray? Yes that gaze...! I can finally display my true strength. I am thou, thou art I... Let us adorn your departure into freedom with a beautiful betrayal!
This role needs to have a somewhat snobbish voice, but not so snobbish that people won't want to listen to them.

I've been listening to you go on... Shut your damn mouth, you money-grubbing asshole!
Don't get all cocky because I normally behave myself! I am DONE playing nice! Let's go, Johanna! Full throttle!
I guess in the end, I'm just becoming more aware of how little I really know. So... please, help me keep fighting back against that ignorance.

My whole world is expanding. Every day brings new and different discoveries. The direction of Sojiro's cowlick, the atmosphere of Yongen, the various types of coffee beans... Things might be the exact same as they were yesterday, but from my perspective, it's all spinning.
You gave me something really important. You gave me my life back. It's thanks to you that I learned I'm fine just as I am... and that I learned to trust my mom again. I was as good as dead, by you resurrected me.
You gave me my life back, so it's my turn to risk my life for you.
The voice actor for Haru should preferably have a softer voice that is capable of becoming stronger should the need arise.

At first it was nice having someone that understands me... but now, it's much more. There may be times where people resent me for it... but as long as you're here, I'll be OK. You know... I'd like to return the favor. If you ever find yourself in trouble, I'll be there for you. Feel free to rely on me from now on. I have the strength to help you... I can sense it.
Of course, I understand how hard it is to rid yourself of a negative label... But if they want to fool people with a low quality product instead of regaining their trust... I will proudly oppose them.
I'm going to do just that with my life - pain and all!
Yusuke's voice actor should have a deeper more formal voice, and should understand the artistic terms that he talks about.

I learned much from you, Madarame. In order to see authenticity... one myst be dispassionately realistic. With Goemon by my side... I can now ascertain your true self without any reservations.
I thank you, Madarame...! Every reason for me to forgive you has disappeared without a trace at this very moment! You aren't some rotten artist... You're a despicable fiend who wears the skin of an artist!
A breathtaking sight... Imitations they may be, but together, they make a fine spectacle... Though the flowers of evil blossom, be it known... Abominations are fated to perish.
The voice actor for Goro needs to have an authoritative voice and be able to sound commanding. When Goro becomes the Black Mask, you need to be able to sound insane and maniacal when necessary.

H-Help me... I don't want to disappear... Heh... You're merciless, aren't you?
You are the trash of society. I will kill you! Destroy you! Crush you...! Teammates are nothing but trash!
You're just.... pieces of shit... who lick each other's wounds...! Anything goes... if you say you're teammates...!

I am myself! I'll never forget that again!
I can't stop this... I refuse to live as Kasumi's killer!
Why are you doing this to me? Please... just leave me alone!
