Star Wars: Jedi Council: Acts of War
Project Overview
Seeing a chance to share one of my favourite Star Wars Legends adventures, I plan to make a full four-part comic dub of 2000's Jedi Council: Acts of War. It will be uploaded to my Youtube Channel "The Audial Architect".
Publisher's Summary (from Wookieepedia)
In the days of the Old Republic, before the threat of the Phantom Menace, the Jedi Council guides the Jedi Knights as defenders of peace and justice throughout the galaxy. When a brutal conflict arises, two Jedi are dispatched by council member Mace Windu and presented with a new challenge: the treacherous Yinchorri. When only the Jedi's mutilated bodies return from the mission, Mace realizes how greatly he has underestimated this new foe: the volatile Yinchorri are immune to Jedi mind control. As this grave mistake weighs heavily on Mace, the challenge now lies before the Council: How can they battle a violent enemy that has no fear of Jedi Knights, as it gathers weapons that threaten the stability of the Republic?

A Corellian Jedi Master with a taste for adventure, In search for the enemy command centre, Adi Gallia is sent to Yitheeth, where her quick wits allow her to come up with a cover-up story in record time.
Adi Gallia has a few official voices for you to imitate. Most of these sources do seem to agree that Adi has a rather deep voice with a british accent, so definitly go for that:

If you say so, Tsui. Now, if you and Theen Fida are done with yours Baths, we should break out the Speeder and get on with our Mission.
This is Mission Yitheeth calling Mission Yibikkoror. Yitheeth is clear. What is your Situation?
(Demanding) Call off your Warriors!
Instead of fighting on the front lines, Yaddle prefers to search the Jedi Archives for information that might lead to their victory over the Yinchorri.
Yaddle is pretty much a female version of Yoda, she should sound just like that.
Within your rights you were, Mace Windu, to send Jedi into danger without consulting the rest of the council. But had you done so, greater insight into the problem you might have gained.
I have not your depth of sight into the Force, Master Yoda,..but sense something I do, as well. Concerned I am, that the Senate is still debating the Yinchorri problem.
Depa Bilaba is the former Padawan of Mace Windu. She stays back at the Jedi Temple and makes plans on how the strike teams should advance.
I don't think she actually has a Canon voice. Since she appears to be Indian, it would make sense if she had a slight accent to match.
Then Naeshaan's Lightsaber would have been useless...she didn't stand a chance.
This is distressing...Jedi Blood spilled within the Temple boundaries.
The famous Yoda is the head of the Jedi Temple and from there, he attempts to uncover the mystery of where the Yinchorri High command is located.
Please try to emulate Frank Oz's portrayal of the character, specifically the one seen in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

Senior Member of this council you are, Mace Windu, and by your word we will abide, but consider well wether one mistake might lead to another. More discussion this requires, I believe.
Enter our temple unbidden, you have. Leaving it will not be easy, you will find.
Informed you will keep me of all that transpires. Day or night, hesitate not.
A crafty, charismatic master of sleight of hand, this Jedi Council Master relies less on the Force than on old-fashioned trickery.
Being such a trickster, I feel that it would be fitting if his voice gave off the false impression that Micah is but a harmless, innocent old man.
As you can see, there are four identical cups, three white stones and one black stone. White stones go under three of the cups while I place the black stone under the fourth. Each cup now covers a stone. Three white, one black.
Oh. Was it really so easy? I must be losing my touch in old age.
Don't take this the wrong way, Plo Koon, but I wish Saesee Tiin was flying this ship.
The brutish, force-resisting Yinchorri are recent additions to the Galactic Republic. Beind denied the advanced technology used outside of their own homeworld, the Yinchorri were quick to take up arms, steal ships and set out to conquer the Galaxy by force.
The Yinchorri are the main foot soldiers in this comic, therefore, I will need many of them. I imagine them speaking with deep, gruff voices, think Bowser or Killer Croc.
NOTE: This Casting Call is different from others in that it's not a competition. Since I'll need multiple Yinchorri, it is possible that all who audition will end up in the final project.
I thought you Jedi were supposed to be tough...not so tough. Before you die, Jedi, I want you to know something. You have the honor of being my first kill.
Find the young ones first - kill ALL the Jedi children!
(Scared) I-I'm just a soldier. I don't know where the high command is hidden...
The Zabrak thought control expert assists Adi Gallia in her search of the Yinchorri outpost on the watery world of Yitheeth..
Please try to emulate his voice and performance from Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Catch! Tie it to the Balloon coupling!
Hang on, Theen! When K'Kruhk lets go of the cable, the Balloon will shoot up.
I'll tell you all that I know, Master Windu...but perhaps it would be best to wait until we've reached the safety of the Ship.
The skilled pilot from the Iktotchi moon is crucial to the mission due to his force-increased flying abillities.
Try to emulate his voice from either Star Wars: Clone Wars (2003) or Star Wars; The Clone Wars (2008)

Qui-Gon, I'm transferring coordinates to you. Lock them into the navigation computer and prepare to jump to hyperspace.
By the time they figured out what happened, we'll be on the ground.
I guarantee you, it IS possible...just not recommended.
Lilit's burly Whiphid Padawan still has a lot to learn from his elders. When provoked, his instincts may overtake his Jedi Training.
Please try to Sound like a younger version of the voice used for him in the original Star Wars: Clone Wars (heard at 0:55)
https://youtu.be/WIj7gIDFDe4?t=55
Lilit, I am confused. Master Giiett and Master Koon work towards the same ends - and they appear to be friends - and yet they taunt and bait one another...
(Sad) Lilit...
(Roars)
K'Kruhk's Master Lilit Twoseas dosen't talk much, nor does she really appear that often. I imagine her having a youthful, calming voice to further contrast her hulking Padawan.
We can't wait for Adi Gallia and the others! K'Kruhk, follow me!
Thank you, Padawan!
Come on, K'Kruhk! I believe Master Giiett is going to show us another "Trick".
The diminutive Aleena Jedi should have a relatively (but not extremely) high-pitched voice, but should also sound older than his apprentice Theen Fida. His speech bubbles are the only ones with lowercase letters, so they should be very easy to differenciate from all the others.
As close to a perfect landing you'll ever see!
Don't worry, Padawan, Adi Gallia is just concerned about what lies ahead...I want you to be on your guard at all times.
(Sarcastically) And you the daughter of a diplomat! Don't worry, Adi Gallia, the Yinchorri have more than enough weapons to go around!
Theen Fida is an Anx, a species described as having low, rumbling voices. Given the fact that Theen is a Padawan propably in his teens or twenties, he should sound sound rather young on top of that.
I think you did a splendid job of getting us here safely, teacher!
Watch the rope!
Vilmahr Grahk was forced to lead the Yinchorri into battle. He's a perverted gambler and a smuggler who acts as a comic relief in another comic series, so don't play him too seriously. He thinks he's the greatest criminal in the galaxy, but the galaxy enjoys to proove him otherwise.
The Yinchorri are hot for blood. They are prepared, you bet. But what of Villie's feeh, eh? Villie is to be trusting you, but you are not trusting Villie to even see your face? What is with that?
No! Uh, I mean, yes, yes...a cousin....twice removed! Give him no thought, Master!
But no worries! Cousin won't reveal plans. Cannot reveal what he does not know, yes?
Olmar Grahk is Vilmahr's nephew and is in no way ready to lead the Yinchorri into battle. Though he acts high and mighty at first, he soon shows himself to be a panicking coward once the enemy gains the upper hand on him. Note that just like his uncle, he dosen't speak fluent "english", therefore his grammar is intended to be flawed.
(Confident) Jedi! Too bad for you to come all this way....just to die!
(Scared) Done! Done! Cease Fire! Stop Attack!
(Nervous) Not here! Am swearing! I'm not knowing where he is, but not here!
In Order to deal with the Yinchorri crisis, Chancellor Valorum will have to turn in every favour owed to him, unknowingly falling directly into the grand Sith scheme.
Please emulate either the voice that is heard in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace or Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Then it's agreed? You will all support a blockade and an embargo?
It is done. I have enough votes to pass the resolution - though I was forced to call in every favour I've been owed in the past five years.
...ended just like that. As soon as the Yinchorri Commanders broadcasted word of their surrender, the opposition collapsed. The Navy has the whole situation under control.
Soon Baytes is a young Jedi who appears to serve as a messenger for Yoda.
(Slightly disturbed) What did you do to fill him with such fear, Master?
Word came form Adi Gallia and Eeth Koth. They have determined that the Yinchorri command is not on Yitheeth. They're heading to Yibikkokor to aid Masters Koon and Giiett.
Master Yoda - Look out!
Jude Rozess was a Jedi Knight tasked with guarding the Temple. Though she did notice the Warrior sneaking up behind her, she failed to account for his Cortosis Shield...
An extremely minor character, Jude Rozess only speaks one incomplete sentence and grunts once in the comic.
Ungh!
(groaning) And you mine...
This unnamed Bith Jedi stays at the Jedi Temple, where he discusses the Yinchorri crisis with Yoda.
Yes, but the messages are confused. Some say that another ship was destroyed above Yinchorr...
...but others indicated that it simply vanished from their screens.
Reports on the remaining vessel are less ambiguous. Three seperate fighters have reported scoring direct hits.
