DanganRonpa 27: Despair High School Reunion
scottyc for Gabriele Popescu
Pronunciation: gaa-bree-ELLE poh-PESS-kue
An unfortunately-named boy and the Ultimate Tailor, Gabriele Popescu is quite proud of his Romanian heritage and has is a long-time fan of ballet. While normally amicable, he can become quite biting towards people he thinks have bad fashion sense. He has some culture shock moments while at Hope’s Peak, but he tries his best to fit in with the school’s culture.
He should have an accent: preferably Romanian, but any generally eastern European accent would work. Pitch is open, although we’re currently leaning towards something higher. He will also have at least one point where he sings a song: you don't have to have a perfect voice, but be able to stay on pitch. We will also be using sporadic Romanian words, so you may have to take a quick look at Google Translate for pronunciation if you decide to audition for this part.
Scuzele mele, I haven’t even introduced myself. I’m Gabriele Popescu, the Ultimate Tailor, but you can call me Gabi for short. Ma bucur sa te cunosc.
My talent is sort of strange, seeing as there are many factories that can make clothing much faster than me. But when I make something, and people like it, it motivates me to keep doing what I love.
There’s no need to apologize! I didn’t expect you to know the song: it’s a children’s song from Romania about the coming of spring.
