Pronunciation Guide
How do I say…?
The following list provides IPA transcription and audio references for pronunciations of names and other terms from the script.
These are a starting place for rehearsals, not a definitive rulebook. Real people say things in a variety of ways, and we can usually justify any number of choices as “correct” for our context. As always, stay curious and open to adjustments.
Playback speed can be adjusted using the three-dot menu on the right of the audio player.
