Princess and the Frog Full Fandub
Project Overview
Get ready for a fresh look at the much beloved Disney film "The Princess and the Frog"! I'm very excited to be taking this on as my next full fandub project and to bring more attention to this animated gem. This project is just for fun, but I hope to make it as professional as possible like I did with my last full fandub of "Frozen" and to showcase a variety of voice actors that can sharpen their skills, meet other talented VAs, and enjoy reliving the Disney magic!
IMPORTANT NOTE: Discord is a must, since after the project is cast I will be reaching out to cast members with a link to the project server for easy communication. Please leave your discord tag with your audition, or send me a private message!
ADDITIONALLY: Everyone who auditions will be invited to join the ensemble for songs with a choir including "Friends on the Other Side", "Going Down the Bayou", and "Dig a Little Deeper".
The Princess and the Frog is a 2009 American animated musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The 49th Disney animated feature film, the film is loosely based on the novel The Frog Princess by E. D. Baker, which is in turn based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale "The Frog Prince". Set in the 1920s New Orleans, the film tells the story of a hardworking waitress named Tiana who dreams of opening her own restaurant. After kissing a prince who has been turned into a frog by an evil voodoo sorcerer, Tiana becomes a frog herself and must find a way to turn back into a human before it is too late.

Deadline extended!
One person needed a small extension and I need time to make decisions and finish the vocal guides for the songs, so the deadline has been pushed back a few days :)
Tiana is a strong-willed young woman who works hard for her dream of owning her own restaurant, a dream she developed with her father who passed when she was a child. Her confident and determinate spirit often blinds her to the importance of happiness and enjoying life, but she learns through losing everything that what she wanted was her restaurant, yet what she needed was love. Here is a sample of her voice that includes the audition lines, though I am open to other interpretations!: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FKb_KHFJ2LgdkeeJDJvmMOnKNaRzSomc/view?usp=sharing
(in shock) "This should cover it just fine Lottie...this is it! I'm getting my restaurant!"
(with disgust) "(screams) AHH! What did you do to me? I-I'm green, and I-and I'm slimy, and I--"
"My daddy never did get what he wanted...but he had what he needed. He never lost sight of what was really important. And neither will I!"
Please see Tiana (Speaking Role) for a description of her character. This audition includes several short excerpts from songs she sings to gauge the range needed to perform this role. You may post your audition acapella or with music, but please may sure your vocals are clear enough to be heard. Here is a link to the cuts of instrumentals to listen to while recording your audition (for timing, pitch, ect.): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d72D08aQoOan1uUCrXGxvttC7VTmsMsI/view?usp=sharing
(sung, determined) "This old town can slow you down, people taking the easy way. But I know exactly where I'm going, I'm getting closer and closer every day and I'm almost there! I'm almost there...I am almost there!"
(sung, sadly) "Almost...almost there."
(sung, happily) "Blue skies and sunshine!"
Prince Naveen is a fun loving and lazy yet educated philanderer. He loves dancing, playing music, and women. He is also extremely vain and narcissistic and finds himself gorgeous and strikingly handsome. Despite this, he has a big heart and dedicates himself to becoming a better person He made a promise to Tiana that he would get her restaurant, and was determined to see it through.
Here is a reference of his voice with the audition lines (though I am open to other interpretations!), and also an instrumental for the singing portion: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KYmk-Z1jlCrz3mXDRv2ZF7Jkb8Xu4fdx/view?usp=sharing
(seductive, smooth) "Kissing would be nice yes?...Just one...unless you beg for more."
(stumbling, increasing stress) "You have had quite an influence on me. Which is amazing because I have dated thousands of women and-- uh, no, like two, three-- just other women, and, anyway-- you could not be more different, you know, you are practically, (chuckles) one of the guys! --No, no, no! You are not a guy! Let me begin again."
(sung) "A redhead on my left arm, a brunette on my right. A blonde or two to hold the candles, now that seems just about right, eh Louis? Life is short when you're done, you're done, we're on this earth to have some fun, and that's the way things are."
Lawrence is the secondary antagonist of the film. He was Prince Naveen's royal valet, but after enduring years of disrespect and humiliation from the prince, Lawrence betrayed Naveen and aligned himself with the wicked Dr. Facilier to exact vengeance. Lawrence comes from a peasantry background and has spent a majority of his life being pushed around by his abusive family, which explains his motivations to be in control for once.

(scolding) "At this point you have two choices. Woo and marry a rich young lady, (enunciated) or get a job!"
(terrified, reasoning for his life) "Th-the poor devil was gasping, so I loosened the lid! E-ever so slight--ah!" (he exclaims as he is pushed over)
(overconfident, trying to act smooth) "Well, when you're next in line for the throne, you're poised like a panther...ready to expect the unexpected...(growls playfully)"
Dr. Facilier (commonly known as the Shadow Man) is the main antagonist of Disney's 2009 animated feature film The Princess and the Frog. He is an evil, smooth-talking witch doctor who plots to rule New Orleans with help from his "friends on the other side". Having come from a poor background, Facilier grew to resent the rich and prosperous—none so much as the most powerful man in the city, Eli "Big Daddy" La Bouff. Facilier sought to supersede his rival using voodoo and pawnswhile offering the souls of New Orleans' denizens to his "friends" as recompense.

(panicked) "Careful with that! If anything happens to this, I'm gonna be--!"
"(laughs evilly) Now we're cooking! We're gonna find ourselves a frog! Search everywhere-- the bayou, the quarter; bring him to me alive.
(manipulative, soft) "You can give your poor daddy everything he ever wanted. Come on Tiana. (lowered to a whisper) You're almost there."
See Dr. Facilier (Speaking Role) for a full description of his character. You may post your audition acapella or with music, but please may sure your vocals are clear enough to be heard.
Here is a link that includes the cut of the instrumental to listen to while recording your audition (for timing, pitch, ect.) (NOTE: SKIP TO THE END TO FIND THE INSTRUMENTAL PART): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VWdvJw_lDnOfp1oE28lLbmvmxq1EzL0z/view?usp=sharing
(sung) "I've got voodoo, I've got hoodoo, I've got things I ain't even tried! And I've got friends on the other side.
...now you, young man, are from across the sea. You come from two long lines of royalty. Your lifestyle's high, but your funds are low. You need to marry a little honey whose daddy got dough.
...are you ready? Are you ready? Transformation central. Reformation central! Transmodification central. Can you feel it?"
As the wealthiest man in New Orleans, Big Daddy is also the most powerful man in the city. He appears to be a single parent, as Charlotte's mother is neither seen nor mentioned throughout the film. He is also something of a father figure to Tiana, having been good friends with her mother, Eudora, for many years—in no small part due to Eudora running an esteemed seamstress business, which is responsible for supplying Charlotte with many fairytale-inspired ball gowns. Despite his position of power, Eli is shown to be loving, jovial, and friendly. His eagerness to fund smaller businesses such as Eudora's and the local newspaper shows that he is incredibly generous with his wealth. Because of his friendly nature, however, he can also be a pushover—specifically with his daughter, Charlotte, who constantly exploits her father's fortune for her own obsessions, such as lavish dresses and gowns. Even so, Charlotte takes after her father in that she is warm-hearted and generous, despite her privileged lifestyle.

No more Mr. Pushover! Now who wants a puppy?"
(in response to being asked about winning King of the Mardi Gras parade) "Caught me completely by surprise...for the fifth year in a row! (he laughs heartily)"
Friendly, helpful, and despite being the smallest creature in the movie, he has the biggest heart. His true love is the Evening Star he calls Evangeline. Ray was also shown to have no fear except for white people; he helped fight the frog hunters and he even took on Facilier's shadow demons all by himself. Ray is extremely kind and agrees to help Tiana and Naveen without any reward expected. Though kind, he is somewhat eccentric, often shown to be very excitable, in spite of serious situations. He was seen upset once when he believed Naveen was proposing to Evangeline.

I don't explode me. I ain't no firecracker. I just got my big butt glowin'! That's right! Ooh. The women like a man with a big back porch!"
(determined, defiant) "Oh no, no, no, no! A bug's gotta do what a bug's gotta do!"
"You can't let Shadow Man get this no matter what! Now run girl, run! Don't make me light my butt!"

(sung) "We're gonna take you down, we're gonna take you down, we're gonna take you all the way down. Gonna take you down, we're gonna take you down, taking you all the way! Going down the bayou, going down the bayou, going down the bayou, taking you all the way!"
(sung) "J'tadore, j'taime, Evangeline. You're my queen of the night, so still, so bright. To someone as beautiful as she, who loves someone like me."
There are several minor characters with only one or two lines that need to be filled. If you would like to be a part of this project in any of these roles, you may submit yourself saying anything you like that you'd imagine a character in the film to say (ex. something about Mardi Gras, Tiana's work ethic, the wonders of the bayou) or you may submit your demo reel.
This doesn't need to be long, 10 seconds minimum!

If you would like to join the ensemble for singing, you may submit yourself singing anything acapella or with music. Minimum 15 seconds. If you know your vocal placement (Soprano, Baritone, Bass, etc.) please state it in your audition. If you don't know, just indicate whether you are more comfortable singing high, middle, or low.
(sing anything)
An eccentric, sunny, and wise old woman who has great power and does not use it to grant wishes. She challenges Tiana and Naveen to 'dig deeper' in themselves and uses the same advice on all the individuals that seek her out, looking for a 'better' life via magic. Mama Odie is a well-known woman throughout the bayou; Louis the Alligator refers to her as the "Voodoo Queen of the Bayou". Though incredibly sweet and motherly, Mama Odie appears to be greatly feared by others. Louis himself had a fear of her prior to the events of the film. The dark loa working with the evil Dr. Facilier was also shown to fear her, as her good magic is able to eliminate them rather easily.
Here is a link to a reference video of her voice that includes the audition lines as well as the instrumental for the singing portion, though I am open to other interpretations of her voice: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aXsVLPzZvmF1zOy85kQJby01BHa6w1Np/view?usp=sharing

(confident, smug) "Not bad for a hundred-and-seventy-two year old blind lady! Hehehe! Now, which one of you naughty dearies been messing with the Shadow Man?"
"(snores, waking up and startling) Oh, you! Why didn't you tell me my gumbo was burning?"
(sung) Prince Froggy is a rich little boy, you wanna be rich again. That ain't gonna make you happy now, did it make you happy then? No! Money ain't got no soul, money ain't got no heart. All you need is some self control, make yourself a brand new start!
