Even Monty auditioned for the role of Ozpin and ended up deciding Shannon did better in the audition. Even Matt Hullum, CEO of the company, had to audition to make an attempt at the role of Ozpin and to get the role of a character who will appear later. I don't know that I agree with that statement, I mean I don't call syncing a character to a VA an "audition" if the understanding always was; "if it doesn't fit we'll make one for you later", which seemed to be the understanding with most RT employee's present V1. Eh, I mostly brought it up because of the people who take issue with who voices Winter. It was claimed that a certain person was going to just be given the role of Winter, when in reality, I'm pretty sure she would've still had to audition for it. Monty had to audition for Ozpin, Matt Hullum had to audition for Ozpin. I'm sure they still had to double check that Lindsay, Kara, Arryn, and Barbara would be suitable voices, and Miles' "audition" was showing what kinds of voice acting he can do.
