You originally voiced Mulan, the central part (bit throaty) (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

uvula

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'part bit throaty' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'you originally voiced mulan the central' is the wordplay.
'you' becomes 'u' (commonly used in online communication).
'originally' says to take the initial letters.
'the central' says to take the centre.
The central letters of 'mulan' are 'ula'.
The initial letter of 'voiced' is 'v'.
'u'+'v'+'ula'='UVULA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for uvula that I've seen before include "Fleshy flap" , "Fleshy body at back of throat" , "Fleshy part of the palate" , "Fleshy projection hanging from roof of mouth" , "Fleshy part above the throat" .)
