Eri Uehara (Kokoro's Mother)

(Design by EmzieDoodles)

Character Profile: Kokoro Uehara’s mother. Eri is a washed up former idol who now works in the seedier side of the entertainment industry. Despite her current work, which she looks down upon, she still believes herself to be an excellent actress worthy of a second chance, always chasing opportunities to regain her former glory.

As Kokoro’s mother, she is heavily invested in her daughter’s success, strongly encouraging her to pursue the media opportunities she herself lacks. Although she is very insistent on Kokoro’s next course of action, she never actively forces her daughter into anything; She allows Kokoro to be her own person, but always tries to direct her towards her own ideals.

Voice: For Eri we're looking for a balance of maturity and immaturity in her voice, someone who has aged but is also attempting to sound and seem younger than she is. We'd like to hear a level of callousness and disregard in her voice, but also genuine motherly care, all in a medium-low register.
