One thing that frustrates me to no end is listening to an album, and I am unable to properly pronounce the band name.
Is it possible to provide phonetics in the bio? Or can you folks out there help me with the following band names Fusioon Le Orme (Lay Ormay?) Ihre Kinder Xhol Caravan Igra Staklenih Perli Arbete Och Fritid Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! |

It would be useful if you had something written in your "Location" field, so that we know what is your native language (therefore knowing what your regular pronounciation are).

Anyway I've also thought of this, maybe we could do a thread where, upon request, we post recording of the correct pronounciation of certain words. You can find a good pronounciation of Le Orme at the beginning of this video:

There are plenty of text-to-speech synthesizers around, some are more reliable than others. Here are few from Google Tranlsate, just click on the 'listen' button: Le Orme (although 'Le' is not perfect) Ihre Kinder Igra Staklenih Perli (that's closest I can get) |
