Lion King 2: Simba's Pride Fandub
Project Overview
Why hello everyone!
While we love the second Lion King movie and think the voice acting is on point we would like to dub the entire movie ourselves to improve as voice actors, singers and editors - and most importantly to have fun while doing it.
It will be released in four parts of around 20 minutes to make it easy for digestion.
We will try to cover all of the songs in the movie and we would love for our voice actors to be willing to sing their character's songs:
E.g. Zira's voice actress could sing "That's my Lullaby". This is not obligatory but greatly helps with the selection of who we are going to cast.
Requirements for being cast:
- Good microphone quality - no background noise, static or anything of the like. We want to make this Dub as authentic to the original as possible and match its quality best as we can.
- Access to Discord or E-Mail - while Discord is preferred we can also send you the script through e-Mail, and you will be able to submit your lines through either way.
- Reliability/Commitment - We would like for our voice actors to stick around to dub the entire movie. This might take a while so please beware. Being able to submit lines within deadlines is expected, but if problems arise you can always talk to us for us to extend it.
- Having fun! This is an unpaid project, so having fun and garnering experiences are definitely within the focus of this.
Here's a link to our discord server (Feel free to join! You do not have to have auditioned to do so :) )
We look forward to hearing your auditions!

Thanks to our old voice actress for Vitani going irresponsive throughout and past the deadline we are looking for a new Vitani! The current role is asking for both the young and old Vitani in the movie, young Vitani being present in part one and old Vitani being present in parts two and three (the movie will be published in segments to break up the amount of work). If we do not find somebody until all else has been edited in I myself will be voicing young Vitani, the search for old Vitani will still be ongoing even in that case.

The missing roles were added!
I am proud to announce that the Roles of Nala, Zira, Vitani, Nuka, Rafiki, Zazu, Timon and Pumbaa were finally added! Looking forward to hearing your takes on them. Have fun! :)
We are looking for somebody to help us with editing the songs in this dub, such as "He Lives in You", "We are One", "One Of Us", "My Lullaby".
We've got the singers (for some parts), now we need your talent to help us with editing!
If you have experience with this and noise reduction from recordings we're pretty much good to go. Feel free to audition with some of your past work, but it's not obligatory. Having fun with this is, however! :)
Say something you think would fit
This is going to require quite the talent and dedication! We are looking to cover the amazing songs that Lion King 2 produced.
You would be the main voice for "He Lives in You" (but other parts within the song work just fine too!) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15JPW8fUwFs&list=PL889C29298EC76120&index=1&ab_channel=Roxanneactress
Both male and female work fine, and covering it in a way that works for you - you do not have to 100% copy the original song - though that is of course happily accepted too.
"Not One of Us" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9BRYznTw1E&list=PL889C29298EC76120&index=7&ab_channel=WEIRDGUY12213
Rafiki in Upendi - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqC5lMnwFbE&list=PL889C29298EC76120&index=6&ab_channel=Roxanneactress
You can sing this one both if you are male or female! Our Rafiki has a voice actress hence becoming "Rafika", so either work fine, really :)
Based off on the great diversity in voices in The Lion King we will most likely choose multiple singers to work with us on this.
Give us your best shot at "He Lives in You"!
You can be part of "Not One Of Us" with pretty much any of the many voices in the song. Choose whichever you like best! Bonus Points if you can do the Hippo ;)
We need a Rafiki for Upendi, both male and female work fine!
Zira is an evil Outlander lioness looking to make her son, Kovu, heir to Scar, king of the Pridelands. She doesn't shy away from any means to achieve her goal and is the core villainess of the movie.
The mate of Scar during his reign; Zira cherishes the memory of the dark lion, and her greatest desire is to see Simba dead and herself and Kovu as the rulers of the Pride Lands. With her three cubs, Kovu, Nuka, and Vitani, she leads the pride of Outsiders in the desolate Outlands, well beyond the borders of the Pride Lands.Original voice actress for reference: https://youtu.be/Dh_CIcztbIE?t=279
It's a plus if you sound like her, but it's not obligatory. Neither is being able to sing "My Lullaby", which is her song, again, a plus to be able to do so, but not obligatory! :)
1Song for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cx_G4TfC3Sk&ab_channel=Kovu
There is no room for weakness here, my son. Remember... Scar took you in and accepted you as his own son.
You thought you'd get to the daughter and Simba would welcome you with open arms? What an idea....
(Realisation dawns) What an IDEA! You brilliant child. I'm so proud of you. You have the same conniving mind that made made Scar so... powerful.
Vitani... now! (Commanding her daughter to attack)
If you will not fight ... then you will die as well.
Wh-wha... Where are you going? Get back here? (She watches in horror as her pride leaves her to join Simba's)
Here's reference to the original voice actor - you do not have to sound like them: https://youtu.be/Dh_CIcztbIE?t=310
Vitani has some lines as a child and some as an adult. It's up to you if you want to take both on, otherwise I can ask for the young/old version in another open role!
Vitani has a few lines within "My Lullaby", it would be nice if you could go for these no matter your singing skills!
Song for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJGqxf86cZs&ab_channel=Shastealer2
- Nuka! Where's Kovu? Did you leave him out there on his own again?
- Where's your pretty daughter, Nala?
- That's it! Now come on... Kiara has started her hunt. We have to move quickly.
(Read out as many of the lines as you want!)
Rafiki has his own song, Upendi. It's a plus if you want to sing it, but it's not obligatory! :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6GGu55CjZA&ab_channel=JackBauer137
Any accent that sounds somewhat like Rafiki's works fine on this! Just preferably no clean english accent :)

We ndodana ye sizwe sonke - Asante sana
Squash banana
We we nugu
Mi mi apana!Ooh, Mufasa! Such a day this has been! Princess Kiara's birth... another Circle of Life is complete, and the Pride's future is once again secure
Aaah! Stop it, stop it, stop it! Mufasa-- look what you are doing! The Circle is broken now. Why do you--Ooh... there is trouble in the Pride Lands. There is another cub? Hmm... where could this be? In the Outlands...But that is where Simba banished Scar's followers. Including his most loyal... Zira.
. Oh, Mufasa... every day Kiara grows more beautiful, into a Queen that will someday make us all very proud. {He paints a mane on Kovu, next to Kiara.} But this cub Kovu grows stronger. And Zira fills his heart with hate. I am very worried, Mufasa. Things are not going well.
Hmm? You have a plan?
What? Kovu... Kiara... together? This is the plan? Are you crazy? This will never work! Oh, Mufasa, you been up there too long. Your head is in the clouds!
Okay, okay, okay! Okay! All right-- okay! I don't think this is going to work... but I trust you. I just hope you know what you are doing!
A british accent is strongly preferred for this one, much like in the original!
The majordomo to the King. As much a fussbudget as ever, if perhaps a bit more scatterbrained, Zazu maintains the household and advises Simba in matters of royal protocol.Original voice actor for reference: (not obligatory to sound like them!) https://youtu.be/Dh_CIcztbIE?t=269
- Nothing there but a bunch of backstabbing, murderous Outsiders!
- Don't worry, Simba. She'll be fine. What could happen?
Mmm... yes, sire. Clearly we are in his debt... and royal protocol demands that all debts be paid. Though in this case you might want to make an exception.
The meerkat we all know and love!

- TIMON:Ah, Pumbaa-- look at that little guy. A chip off the old block! And you gotta know who's gonna raise 'im... PUMBAA:His parents? TIMON:{pause} Okay sure, get technical. But who's gonna teach him the really important stuff? Like how to belch? {burp} And dig for grubs? {jumps down} I'm telling ya, buddy... it's gonna be like old times. You, me... and the little guy. RAFIKI:{chuckles} It is a girl. TIMON:...Girl. TIMON and PUMBAA:Girl?! ...Oy!
- No worries, Simba. We're on her like stink on a warthog!
- I'm sorry; I wasn't listening. Did you say something, Princess?Darling... with your complexion, you should stay out of the sun. {She swats the branch away} Whaaat? Do you wanna wrinkle?
Reference to the original voice actor: https://youtu.be/Dh_CIcztbIE?t=260
- Oooh, don't worry, Kiara-- Uncle Pumbaa's comin'!{He finds Kiara underneath him, spluttering, and he gets off.} Sorry. Now, Princess Kiara... as Simba's daughter, you know better than to go off all alone. You could have been hurt!
- But you can't tell from the outside which are the real slimy ones!
- PUMBAA:Me? You were gonna watch her! TIMON:I thought you were gonna watch her! PUMBAA:No, you were gonna watch her!

- SIMBA:And stay on the path I've marked for you! NALA:{chuckles} Simba. Who does she remind you of? Hmm? SIMBA:{cluelessly} Huh? What? Who? NALA:She's just like you were when you were young. SIMBA:Exactly. Do you realize the dangers we put ourselves in? {She tackles Simba and puts him on his back.} NALA:You mean the dangers YOU put us in. {They chuckle and nuzzle for a few moments, then Nala gets up.} NALA:She'll be fine.
- Simba... you owe him your daughter's life.
- NALA:Oh, Simba... you want so much to walk the path expected of you. Perhaps Kovu does not. SIMBA:{surprised} What? How do you know what-- NALA:{chuckles} I can see them down there just as easily as you can. Get to know them and see.
Nuka dies during the events of this movie so prepare to have a death scene!
He has some lines within Zira's songs my lullaby - would be perfect if you were willing to go for these so as we don't need a separate singer for these few lines :)

You do not need to sound like the original voice actor, but here's their voice for reference: https://youtu.be/Dh_CIcztbIE?t=347
You know, speaking of kings... I was thinking, since I am the oldest... maybe I should be King! Huh?- {muttering to himself} Kovu, Kovu, Kovu. Scar wasn't even his father. He just took him in. {he turns his attention to Vitani} Oh hey, Vitani. Where's the little termite, Kovu? {sarcastically} The "chosen one".
- I just don't know why we have to be here, that's all. If Kovu was so special, why does he need us?... I never even had a CHANCE! Yaaah! {he gets his butt burned by a jet of hot gas from the ground}
The Simba we all love <3
King of the Pride Lands. Simba has grown since we last saw him; he is now nearly as imposing as his father Mufasa was, and he takes his role in life much more seriously. One might even think that the trauma he suffered in his first movie was enough to make him somewhat reactionary and overprotective; he will spare no effort to preserve the Circle of Life and to keep his daughter Kiara from being hurt. He has a tendency of mistrusting the Outlanders and being quite stubborn about this.
We'd love if you would like to sing Simba's part in "We are One" but this is not obligatory!

We Are One: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcOJTCSyvx8&list=PL889C29298EC76120&index=2&ab_channel=Roxanneactress
- {sternly} Kiara... I don't want you talking with him. {softening} I want to talk with him.
Scar couldn't let go of his hate... and in the end, it destroyed him
Fire is a killer. Sometimes, what's left behind can grow better than the generation before... if given the chance.
SIMBA:If something happened to you, I don't know what I'd do. One day I won't be here... and I need you to carry on in my place. You are part of the great Circle of--
KIARA:Circle of Life. I know. SIMBA:Exactly. And you need to be careful. As future Queen--
KIARA:But what if I don't wanna be Queen? It's no fun.
SIMBA:That's like saying you don't want to be a lion. It's in your blood... as I am. We are part of each other.SIMBA: As long as you live here, it's who you are. You'll understand someday.
Try to sing Simba's part in "We are One"!
Father... I am lost. Kovu is one of them. Scar's heir. How can I accept him?

You do not have to imitate the original voice actor/have the same tone of voice, it's definitely a plus but we're happy for you to take your own spin on the character.
Cub of Zira, and the one chosen by Scar to rule after him; Kovu was banished to the Outlands when Simba regained power after the death of Scar. According to Scar's dying wish, Zira is committed to training him to avenge his death by killing Simba and retaking Pride Rock. Kovu's views on the matter change after he meets Kiara and hears the story of Scar from Simba's mouth.
Young Kovu is relatively sassy, quite sure of himself and highly influenced by his mother, Zira.

You always do what Daddy says?
Bet you do. Bet you're Daddy's little girl! Ha ha. An Outsider doesn't need anybody. I take care of myself!
Yeah... you were pretty brave too. My name's Kovu.
Sorry, mother! ... sh-she didn't seem so bad. I thought we could be -
