Danganronpa: Above The Stars
Project Overview
Danganronpa: Above the Stars follows Aurora Solei, the…Ultimate Astronomer..? Wait, when did that happen??
Aurora finds herself trapped in her old dream school, Hope’s Peak Academy, with 15 other students and an alarmingly annoying robotic bear.
Will they finally remember..?
Or only a select few?
/////
I made the first version of this fanganronpa back in January of 2025, and after a long spill of decisions. I have made the choice to try and make this a voice acted video series fanganronpa!! You are welcome to go check out the version with just edit audios on my youtube channel, but just know, i hope to make this A LOT more fleshed out than i could with just edit audios!!
What you can expect from me:
To my future Voice Actors, I will do my best to coach you through lines. If you're having trouble with pronunciation, or emotion, I'll record myself saying the line and have you use that as a template. Please keep in mind, it will be very voice acting heavy. It's not a gigantic workload, mainly the normal amount, fully voiced CGs, and fully voiced trials (Subject to change if the VAs take a vote and only want to voice some parts). There will be some lines outside of CG and stuff where you will have to voice, but not too much.
I am the project's head writer, UI artist, pixel artist, sprite maker, and video editor, so my workload is very heavy until I can find other people willing to help out with that stuff.
If you do apply for being an artist:
List of jobs currently avaiable:
The student profiles (Since this project and its characters are made with GL2, this will most likely be more editing than drawing)
Prop Art
Promotional Art
Closing Argument(This might become art instead of GL2, but I'm unsure)
Chibi Art
And lastly,
Thumbnail Art for the episodes
If you do apply for being a writer:
The writing jobs open are writing editors and proofreaders. Writing editors will essentially be given the chapter AFTER I've already typed it out, they will look for any mistakes, expand out some scenes, fix up the grammar and plot holes, etc. They are allowed to add little non-stop debates or debate scrums here and there, considering I don't know how to write those out, it would be helpful to find a writing editor who knows how to. Once they are done looking over the chapter, they will send it back to me with the edits that they've made. Once I've read over and green lit the edits, it will be passed to proofreaders, for them to look over for any grammar errors or writing mistakes. After that, it will once again be sent back to me, I'll green light it, and then it will be sent to our VAs.
If you do apply for being a video editor:
I will show you how I edit, and, hopefully, you can somewhat edit the same. What I'm mainly looking for are editors who know how to use alight motion, since the camera feature might be more useful during class trials.
Here is a list of what potential video editors would help with:
Character Intro Cards
Nonstop debate (If i chose to even do that (This is where the alight motion editors would come in))
Debate scrum (Once again, a maybe, since I'm not sure how to write those)
Executions
Counters ("No! That's wrong!" visual)
Body Discovery
Trials (In general)
Closing arguments
If you do apply for being a composer:
I would like to avoid copyright as much as possible, so I'd prefer someone who knows how to make original music or sound effects that are similar to Danganronpa's feel. I will use the regular sound effects from the main games if I have to, but original music is definitely a must.
If you do apply for crew:
I'm looking for crew who know how to work GL2, potentially for side profiles, executions, closing arguments, stuff like that

~~~
Voice Description: Medium to medium low range. Very monotonous/deadpan voice
- male teen
- male adult
- male young adult
"..Grime Katsuragi..Ultimate Filmmaker..are we done here..? Sorry, I don't mean to sound rude, it's just I'd like to meet everyone here first."

Voice Claim: Donatello from "ROTTMNT"
༄ DANGAN/FANGAN CHARACTER THEY'RE MOST ALIKE TO
Celestia Ludenburg - Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
༄ PERSONALITY
Jonathan’s personality has been labeled “regal” by multiple people. The way he speaks is almost akin to someone who was raised very poshly (is that a word. Idk). Although he is, at heart, a very kind person, he pushes his “unlikeable” emotions down. So, when something upsets him, it’s known almost instantly. The whole intricate talk stops, and he’s almost like a ticking time bomb. But then, it’s like it never even happened.
~~~
Voice Description: Medium, he sounds very formal most of the time, so try and reflect that while saying his lines
- male adult
- male teen
- male young adult
"Oh, my apologies, i didn't see you two there, my name is Jonathan Hishino, and I'm the ultimate Game Developer."

༄ JORDAN OSHIRO'S SPEAKING TABLET
(Jore-dan Oh-shee-roh)
Voice Claim: PDA from "Subnatica"
(Jordan Oshiro is mute, so she was given a speaking tablet by the headmaster. Make sure to talk sort of slow when voice these lines. Not slow down the words or syllables, but put more of a space in between the words. Jordan's never used a speaking tablet before, so she's still getting used to finding all of the words.)
Both feminine and masculine voices can audition, i might stack the voices on top of each other to give off a sort of glitched effect.
༄ DANGAN/FANGAN CHARACTER THEY'RE MOST ALIKE TO
Aoi Asahina - Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
༄ PERSONALITY
Most people have assumed that Jordan is a very shy person, simply because of the fact that she can’t talk, but in reality, she is probably one of the most confident and self- acclimated people on the planet. She not afraid to let anyone know how cool she is, but she won’t just shove it in their faces, unlike a certain blonde haired someone.
~~~

- male adult
- male young adult

"Yo! The name's Keijo Iwakura, Ultimate Firefighter!! Nice to meet ya both!"

Most might say that her personality can be a tad bit eccentric, but she prefers the term “fun” which her real friends call her.

༄ DANGAN/FANGAN CHARACTER THEY'RE MOST ALIKE TO
Charles Cuevas - Danganronpa: Despair Time
༄ PERSONALITY
Mirella puts up a facade of “Fuck off, I never wat to see you. Ever.” But it’s mainly for herself. Mirella prefers being alone, sure, she appreciates the few friends she does have, but talking with others just seems like such a hassle. Sometimes she’ll say something that comes off wrong, but, too swallowed by her own pride, she refuses to fix it, just let the situation dissolve and be forgotten. But that’s not to say that she doesn’t have empathy for those around her, and possibly a secret hidden side she only shows to those who she considers “close.”

Voice Description: Medium to medium-low, british accent, sounds almost monotoneous/done with everything most of the time
- female teen
- female adult

"Please get away."

She has a very bubbly personality. She doesn’t try and make friends with everyone, but she likes to at least talk with them. When it comes to her ultimate, however, she can’t STOP herself from talking. She loves what she does, and has no intention of stopping anytime soon.

Somitsu is absolutely a blast to be around. He gets super energetic when he’a around to meet new people, and he has a couple jokes up his sleeve from time to time.
