That sounds like an ambitious and incredibly fun project!
British people will probably be able to give better input than me because I can't tell what part of the country any of them are from, but here are my impressions --
Jeeves speaks in such a formal, careful, and educated manner that it almost sounds stilted. Bertie is a member of the upper class but since he's of a younger generation he constantly uses slang, and so he sounds a little different from older people of his social group, like Aunt Agatha. Bingo is in a similar social group to Bertie but doesn't use slang quite as liberally as Bertie does. He tends to speak with a dramatic throb in his voice, like he's giving a heartsick soliloquy on a stage. Honoria sounds more masculine than feminine in her tone of voice and her word selection. Edwin sounds like a sullen upper-class kid.
I hope some of this is helpful to you, and that other people can give a clearer picture than me! Good luck with your project. :)

(To elaborate: his speech sounds way more free and casual than Agatha's, which is very cold and formal.)
