    I would ace this part of training! Of course, I wouldn’t have made it this far…

      Not sure that Whimsy is looking for baritones, but I’d be in the same boat. Been a while since I had a decent singing group so I’m a little rusty, mind.

    It’s way too hard to find registered princess trainers, and even when the documentation seems to check out, half the time it’s a youma kill-team in a not-so-clever disguise.

      I have no idea who or what a youma is, but I am compelled to ask where the licensing board would be, and what the qualifications for a princess trainer would be?

        Given the context of this webcomic as a whole, I would guess the it’s the second definition on this page.

          Indeed, specifically the monsters in “Sailor Moon.” (The heroine is the reincarnated Princess of the Moon, you see…)

      When it comes to registered princess-trainers, Julie Andrews is probably your best bet.

    Which princess are we looking for again? So far I see training for evil female villains. Necromancy, deathly screech, seeing the future (“I will kill you all”) and of course poor management skills.

      Welp, all princess’ have to grow up to be evil queens someday. 😛

      Paging Dr Narbon! Or Feeb from Jeff’s Mundementia One universe.

    I’m feeling some sympathy for Gussie. My voice went south a while back.

    I love the use of “manly-boy” as an insult. I will have to remember that one.

    Actually – if they were looking for a harder edge metal genre princess – that’d probably be a winning vocal.

    (TUNE: “I’d Like To Teach The World To Sing”, The Hillside Singers)

    I’d like to screech a woeful thing
    That once was full of charm …
    A note of dread to hurt your head
    And cause your eardrums harm!
    A note that makes your fillings ring,
    A voicebox out of whack!
    And with a mic, it sounds just like
    A chainsaw high on crack!

     Can a princess sing
     A cacophonous note?
     Like a truck in her throat,
     Can a princess sing?

      Sure that’s pretty impressive, but can you do anything with “I’m a Pepper”?

      Were you tutored by The Solenoid Robots?

        I hear Tip as a bargain-countertenor. Gussie makes me think of this version of the Mario Theme.

        Gussie and friends: they’re so TWEE!
        Screeching for salvation!
        To train new princess they’ll compete
        and Tip will save the mission!

      I knew we’d get around to dubstep sooner or later.

    I wonder what you should major in, in order to become a princess-trainer.

    • eddurd

      Ornithology and pre-law, so you can become a regal legal eagle.

    Princess Trainer Registration is probably on one of the floors of Annex One.
