Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door Remake Fandub: CHAPTER 3
Orion for Don Pianta
Don Pianta (also known as the 'Don of Untimely Death') is the head of the Pianta Syndicate that rules over the west side of Rogueport. He's a powerful mob boss known for his ruthlessness. However, he has a soft side for his daughter, Francesca.
Don Pianta should have your typical Italian American mobster accent. He should sound calm, but menacing and tough. A bit of a gravelly voice would probably be fitting. The instinct is probably going to be to go for a Godfather type of voice, but I'd prefer something a little more gruff and deep.

This role will have a bit of focus at the beginning of Chapter 3, and then again at the start of Chapter 6.
