DanganRonpa 2 [Free Time Events fandub]

Project Overview

Welcome to the fandub of DanganRonpa 2's Free Time Events!


In case you don't know, DanganRonpa 2 is a murder-mystery game where talented students are trapped on an island where a talking bear forces them to kill each other. However, this fandub will not focus on the main plot. Rather, it focuses on the scenes where the player bonds with each classmate.


The goal of this project is to voice over the free time events that occur when hanging out with each of the characters. Through their dialogue, we get a feel for their backstory and personalities. And now we have the opportunity to bring it all to life with our own voices!


For this fandub, I am the director, editor, and voice of Hajime Hinata. The rest of the characters are up for casting. I also record and edit footage from the PC port. Once we finish with recording and editing, the videos will be posted on YouTube through my channel GiantTabby.


DanganRonpa 2 is a mature-rated game aimed towards older teens and adults, so please be aware that there are family-unfriendly references.


This fandub is a non-profit project purely for entertainment. Both new and experienced voice actors are welcome to join!


Before you audition, know that I alone am running this project and work from Calirfonia. Meaning that I am in the Pacific Time Zone (UTC-7). Thought I should bring that up in case you ask for a live session, because this means coordinating with different time zones.


Also, I offer live auditions for this project. If we can schedule one together, you may use whichever voice chat you are comfortable with (Skype or Discord). However, because we need to schedule and/or maintain a stable call without cutting off, this is not mandatory and you can still just turn in lines.


PROJECT GUIDELINES


1. Have a quality microphone with clear recordings.

We want our audience to hear your luscious vocal chords without any background noise nor static. Otherwise, your auditions are less likely to be accepted.


2. Beware of potential spoliers of DanganRonpa 2.

A few of the characters' free time events relate to the plot of the main game. So unless you've played through it yourself, I advise caution depending on who you audition as.


3. You don't need to do impressions of the official dub.

I'm not asking you to copy the official English dub actors. I'm asking you to match your performance with the characters' personalities. Do what you think you can to fit your voice over with the characters. Meaning if you want to voice someone like Nagito, you don't have to give me a Bryce Papenbrook impression. You just have to sound like Nagito.


4. Send recorded lines to me before relative deadlines.

If you become a part of this project, you can record lines on your own time and turn them in before deadlines. I want this project to fit everyone's schedule, so I won't ask for anything unreasonable like "everything within the next three days". Maybe 1-2 weeks or so. I won't be strict or punishing if you miss a deadline or need extensions, but if you are inactive then you will be replaced.


5. Voice direction is an available option.

I'm also open to working on the scenes with you live over Skype/Discord. Free Time Events are mainly dialogue between Hajime (who I voice) and your character, so it's easier to schedule a session when I don't have to worry about a third actor or more.


I won't force it, but directing your performance with feedback and context can benefit both this project and your acting talent. If you're nervous about a live chat, don't be. I'm new to voice direction myself, but the live auditions so far have been easing me into this kind of work.


6. Be friendly and have fun!

This fandub is a hobbyist project, so I'd like us all to enjoy it. Nothing wrong with making new friends with the other actors.


7. Additional scenes may be dubbed, if you and others want to.

While the main goal is to dub the free time events, it's possible that we can try to dub other scenes too. However, those are just stretch goals that will only be made possible if all actors agree and take the time to record for it.


BONUS: Have a Skype and/or Discord account

It's not mandatory, but this is the best way to talk with me and possibly the other actors. Plus, it's easier to make friends in chats and voice calls with Skype or Discord.


If you can't for some reason, you can still contact me through CCC PMs and e-mail (which you can find in my profile).

  • DanganRonpa 2 Update- Casting!

    This is it. I have finally casted who will voice who in the DanganRonpa 2 Free Time Events fandub.


    Thank you all for the auditions. As we drew closer to the deadline, I kept listening to everyone back-to-back. Some of you tied so closely to the same roles, and it made it a challenge to figure out who was best to cast. I listened to every detail to your acting, down to even the subtleties of your performance and every single chord of your voices. Several of these roles had dozens of auditions, but sadly there can only be one. I chose each because your talent carried you through the auditions. No favors nor nepotism were needed at all to get into this fandub. 


    For those of you who got a role, congratulations! I look forward to bringing the characters to life with you together. For those of you who didn't make it, don't be sad. This was just practice for your future. A stepping stone to opportunities that you are free to pursue.


    Once again, thank you all for auditioning. Even as I typed this, my hands are a bit light and shakey from the excitement of working with the most impressive actors I've met. And for those of you who wish to see where this fandub will go, I will post the videos on my YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPS3uTGHHRak_j10iFM7TGg

  • DanganRonpa 2 Update- Introduction Scenes, and Nagito's Lines

    Hello once again, actors! As we reach closer to the deadline, August 19, I feel it's important to note a few things for you all.


    First, I have to say I'm impressed that I'm impressed by how many auditions were sent. 160+ is not a number I expected to reach! For a fandub project with 15 roles offered, I did not expect it to attract that much. While some people caught my eye, others are tied so well. There are a few of you who nail more than one voice so much. But to keep this manageable for everyone, there will just be one role per person. So even though there are some actors that fit at least two characters, I'd rather not double their load of lines. There's enough to work with for one character, anyway.


    Also, this one is for the people new to DanganRonpa 2 and its characters. Before we get into each character's Free Time Event, we will do introduction scenes. During the prologue of DanganRonpa 2, each student introduced themselves. So it only makes sense to properly introduce the characters to the series newbies that may be casted, as well as any viewer stumbling upon our fandub.


    However, that also means more lines for the characters Hajime (voiced by me) and Nagito (whoever gets the role). The context is that Hajime goes around the island meeting each student, and Nagito helps introduce hin (and in turn the players) as to who the students are. Meaning if you get casted as Nagito, you will have the most lines second only to Hajime. If this makes you feel overwhelmed, don't be. Most of the scenes are a couple of minutes long. Plus, I never expected this project to be done over night. Think of this as the pilot episode to a YouTube miniseries. Sounds less intimidating and more exciting, doesn't it?


    One more thing I'd like to say. Some of you have done live auditions with me. For that, I commend your enthusiasm. Personally, I was somewhat nervous to do voice direction and feedback. I kept worrying if I was articulate enough or if I said enough helpful feedback. I'm new to this, but I didn't want to limit the actors' options. I wanted to step out of my comfort zone for the sake of potential castmates, and in turn, the quality of the fandub. Thankfully, I've met some very cooperative actors and I hope it's also like this with the cast I form. Luckily, I'm not just here on this fandub to tell you what to do. We're voicing this together,so  it's possible for us to do a back-and-forth live recording session. Which will make dialogue sound more natural if we have other people to react to. Again, not a nescessity if you want to just turn in lines, but I encourage it if you want to.


    That's all I have to say. Thank you all who have auditioned so far. I await any last minute auditions, I wish you all the best of luck, whether you get casted or not. Either way, I hope the auditiosn served as good practice for what else comes next.

  • DanganRonpa 2 Update- Work Flow and NEW AUDITIONS DEADLINE

    Hello again, fellow actors. These updates are more frequent than I intended, but I swear THIS ONE is absolutely important whethere you auditioned or about to audition.


    Because of how well auditions have turned out so far, and how my work flow has gone, I'm announcing a new deadline. **Auditions will end this Friday, Auguast 19.** I moved it up sooner because more people auditioned sooner than I expected, and I feel some of you may be eager to do this fandub as much as I do. 2-3 weeks seems like more than enough time. If there's anyone who hasn't auditioned, they're welcome to do so sooner rather than later. 


    Also, because 15 characters are a lot to go through, I wouldn't want to leave any actors with nothing to do once this project starts. So rather than go through one character's Free Time Events at, we'll do everyone's part by part. Meaning everyone will start and then everyone will end their work within similar time frames. That way, we'll all feel like we've accomplished something sooner rather than wait. Whether I list them publically on YouTube or unlist them just for you guys alone to see before anyone else is still undecided, but we'll see how that goes.

  • DanganRonpa 2 Update- Time Zone

    Hello once again. I know I just did an update yesterday, and I'd hate to spam your inbox, but this is important if you either wanted to do a live audition with me or plan on being directed in a live voice acting session. After this, I'm back to doing updates on a relatively weekly basis.


    Some of you live in different parts of the world than I do, so it's a bit of an obstacle. Which is why I would like to disclose that I am in North America. Particularly California, so it's the Pacific Time Zone (UTC-7). Meaning if you live in London for example, you would be 8 hours ahead of me. But don't worry, I have a flexible schedule throughout the day. So I'll be able to work with you in the morning, evening, etc. I'll add my time zone onto the project's description so that any new actor turning in auditions will know too.


    Again, voice direction is an option, so don't worry if our schedules can't always line up. You can still turn in lines as I previously stated if you become a part of the cast.

Ultimate Breeder


Low-pitched voice. When Gundham speaks, he speaks with a sense of grandiose. He believes in his power and cool factor, which is reflected in him trying to give off a supernatural impression. Not that his confidence is without a legitimate talent behind it, but he loves to talk big.

  • Are they destined to be cradled against the Heavenly Mother's bosom, or to burn in the fires of Gehenna...?

  • [fearful] S-Such an overwhelmingly baleful resonance! Even my Four Dark Devas of Destruction look less lively than usual!

  • [aggressive] Stand aside! I shall shatter this barbaric, blasphemous false idol to pieces!

Ultimate Gymnast


Mid-to-low voice. Akane is rather simple-minded, gluttonous, and really hot headed to the point of impulsiveness. Despite all this, when motivated to work, she works hard. This is especially apparent when growing up in a lesser kind environment.

  • Nah, I don't have a trainer... My stepmom's lovers like to get drunk and gimme full-body massages.

  • Listen up! The emptier your head, the more dreams you can stuff inside, y'know!

  • [desperate] I don't mind starvin' as long as I can eat! Just lemme eat already!

Ultimate Lucky Student


Mid-to-high pitched voice. Comes across as friendly and helpful at first, but is rather disturbed. Nagito does not think highly of himself nor his talent. He has a very peculiar way of expressing his idea of hope, a concept that he can get fanatic over.

  • I just want to believe in hope, you know?

  • Do you understand? Hope is a positive force... Everything created by it is an absolute good!

  • Thank you Akane... I got to see my dead dog again. I haven't seen him in ages.

Ultimate Swordswoman


Mid-pitched voice. At first, Peko comes off as just an unemotional warrior. But that's not the case, she just lived a life that had no room for articulating feelings and desires. And when it comes to anyone or anything she cares about, she's capable of genuine feelings.

  • Why are you talking about mere murderers with such enthusiasm?

  • Then are you a striker? Or maybe you're a grappler? No, perhaps you are well versed in firearms...

  • Talking to you fills me with this strange calmness. I've never felt anything like this before...

Mid-to-high pitched voice. One of the more level-headed of the group. Though rather blunt and somewhat impatient, she means well. Mikan is most likely to scold any who she thinks misbehave.

  • All right, say "cheeeeeeese"!

  • A new island, huh? I should go find some clues too...

  • Wh-What did you just say...? I don't care how you excuse it, you're being too forceful!

Ultimate Afluent Progeny


Mid-pitched voice with a sense of authority, if not borderline arrogance. However, there's a sense of longing for others' acknowledgement. Mainly due to his past being full of skepticism. If there's one constant source of comfort of his though, it's food.

  • I won't dispute your blunt remark about my weight. But that voice you just heard was not mine...

  • Rejoice, commoners, for today I will show you just how far above you I am.

  • Thank you. I... always wanted someone to say that to me.

High-pitched voice. Despite looking and sounding childish, Hiyoko is like a verbally abusive bully. Despite being somewhat sadistic, she does show a more loving side to those she actually warms up to.

  • Crab and shrimp are such a pain to eat. I hate them as much as I hate Mikan's ugly, stuttering face.

  • C-Collected...? I never gave you permission to collect that, you nasty pedo!

  • Yay! We're gonna wash each other!

Ultimate Cook


Mid-to-high pitch voice. It's hard to take Teruteru seriously, as he is perverted and tries too hard to be cool. He's passionate about food just as he is about women (and men, he's not picky).

  • I *am* weird, aren't I...? At times like this, I'd rather be fantasizing about...tonight's "main dish"...

  • [disbelief] I'm not believing it... I-I'm not believing any of it at all!

  • [aggressive] Well, let's just say that your jaws wouldn't be the only thing that drops! In fact, your panties would drop too! Like the black thong Miss Peko is wearing, for example!

  • WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUCK?!

  • [mind in the gutter] H-Hey... you're kidding me... I-Is "it" what I think it is...?

  • Welcome to the world of girl love! It's slippery when wet!

  • Grab a partner and slow dance to "I Squeezed Out the Baby But I have No Idea Who the Father Is".

  • The only one childish enough to eat gummies is that midget over there.

  • U-Um... it may be rude of me to say this but... Th-That... looks a little too daring!

Ultimate Gamer


Mid-to-high pitched voice. Chiaki is a soft-spoken character, but when things get serious she can be firm and determined despite not being the strongest. Sometimes she'll make gaming references, even ones to obscure games (that you can actually search up on Google), to make sense of what's around her.

  • ...He's like the main character of an RPG. Have you played those before?

  • [disappointed] Man, I was a big fan of the series. I don't know why, but I feel like you've totally tainted the series.

  • But if you can't choose either future... Why don't you just create one?
