Donkey Kong Bananza Dub
Project Overview
Welcome to WallKnight's Donkey Kong Bananza Dub!
Together, we'll be dubbing Donkey Kong Bananza! What does that mean? Well, we'll be adding proper speaking voices to the game!
I will warn everyone before auditioning, this will be a HUGE project, spanning possibly multiple months, as Donkey Kong Bananza is a huge game! Also, Void Kong, Pauline (Both speaking & singing voices), Diddy Kong, and Dixie Kong have already been cast offsite, so they will not be up for grabs!
Here are some rules for auditioning!
- You have to be somewhat familiar with Donkey Kong Bananza! (Mainly because we don't want to spoil you on such a fantastic game!)
- Please have a clear mic, or at least as clear as possible with minimal background noise!
- If you audition for a main role (DK & Poppy Kong) please make sure you're aware that they're main roles and will take up A LOT of time!
- Please do at least 2 or 3 takes of each line given (or improv) in AABBCC or AAABBBCCC fashion!
- Do make sure that if you're cast you turn in lines on time!
- Discord IS a REQUIRMENT!
- Also, please keep in mind that this is a NON PROFIT FANDUB. No money will be made off of this dub. This is something we are doing purely for fun.
Happy Auditioning, Everyone!

Listen up and listen up good! It’d serve you well to hear this. It took some effort, but I worked out that crook’s hiding spot! That’s right! Got his whole plan figured out! Who am I talking about, you ask? Oh no one.. Just the fiend behind all these banana burgarlies! No hoard is safe!
I would’ve sent some muscle to stop him, but you had already taken off for your little mining misadventure. No choice but to do it all myself! I knew the fiend at fault, so I got on Rambi and left the island behind… It shoulda been YOU diggin’ all the way down here after that banana bandit. Better thank me for doin’ your job!

Wherever you’re heading, you’d be wise to prepare for severe weather. I suppose I could teach you how to use my Elephant Bananza, which is great for navigating nature’s wrath…If you retrieve my ancient record, I’ll be happy to spin up a lesson for you.
