Forgotten Friday #274 - 八草ウラ / Yakusa Ura

Her name is a pun! I know 裏 because of Ura Omete Lovers. 裏声 means falsetto... So she's a falsetto bank named Ura. She is sixteen.  She is quiet and calm.

Who Is Ura Yakusa?

Mr. Simmons was portly and pale with obviously dyed black hair. He grunted with almost every movement and was constantly sweating. No matter what he did, he couldn't win. If he was mean, everyone thought he was bitter and ugly. If he was kind, people joked that he was a predator.

He was unlucky. Some witches were born with special powers that made them unique. His special powers were a complete invulnerability to any spells that could change his appearance and a whole host of various genetic disorders. The second one had nothing to do with being a witch - he just lumped them together to try and lighten the mood while he explained why he, as a witch, had visible healed sores on his face.

Charlotte squirmed as she sat in one of the desks. It was the appropriate size for her, but she was uncomfortable momentarily reliving her senior year. "Thank you for coming back in, Mr. Simmons."

"Ms. Pendragon..." He sighed. "I know that's not what you called me when you were in my class."

"But I'm Charlotte now." She nodded. "So... I don't want to get fired for bullying the teachers."

He gave a raspy laugh. "Thank you, President Penn." He looked over to Aliyah and McKenzie. They were both uncomfortable, but he didn't blame them. "I'm mostly glad that I'm not Mr. Szyslak anymore." He paused. "Were you too young for The Simpsons, President Penn?"

Charlotte forced a polite laugh. "Do you remember that thing you called 'woo-woo ovary magic'?"

"Oh." He hung his head in shame. "I learned my lesson after five sensitivity seminars." He looked up. "The correct terminology is element guided rituals."

"Uh huh." Charlotte nodded. "They both tried woo-woo ovary magic."

He looked over at the girls with an expression of absolute dumbfoundment. "How?"

"I found a book." Aliyah slouched in her seat. "My little sister has ADHD."

"Oh!" Mr. Simmons nodded. "You're Ms. Azan and Ms. Suarez? Mrs. Mossgarten is in a tizzy over you, Ms. Suarez."

"And Mrs. Mossgarten wants to just not teach Ms. Suarez magic." Aliyah frowned. "So I wanted to teach her magic."

"How did it go?" Mr. Simmons made eye contact with McKenzie.

"Bad." McKenzie maintained eye contact. "It was very scary and the fire was so big, President Penn came running with a fire extinguisher."

He narrowed his eyes to try and see if McKenzie had any visible burns. She had none. "That's very interesting that she was engulfed in flames, but she's entirely untouched."

"That's how large the cage of vines was." Aliyah nodded.

"Cage?!" Mr. Simmons briefly let his jaw drop before closing his mouth. "It's not supposed to be large enough to be a cage!" He looked away and hummed for a moment. "You know, maybe if we put a graded suppressor on her..."

"This is her suppressed!" Aliyah groaned.

He slowly blinked. "I... Don't know what to do." He looked down at his hands. "I really don't know."

How is Yakusa Ura's bank?

I felt like I needed more tester usts, so I just made five new tester usts. Technically ten because I made CV and CVVC. I had made a TON of things to tune with Praat when I was trying to pull a silly prank. But now my textgrid to ust script has intensity, so it's really easy to convert the stuff to normal usts.

This Is a simple one pitch CV bank. The voice is nice, but you can tell the voice provider was struggling a bit.
