Spontooneous Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Maybe it's in one of his books, maybe it's in liner notes. Somewhere Ira Gitler maps out Doug Mettome's name: MET-oh-me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Thanks, btw, to all who've replied... there are several book and online guides for classical pronouncers, but so far I've found only one very incomplete online resource for jazz names). E-nuh-vold-sin No way. Enevoldsen is a Danish name. Pronounce it like the Italian 'bene' without the 'b'. The last E, I suppose, is silent.

Guest Bill Barton Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 (edited) Otomo Yoshihide? Edited August 30, 2007 by Bill Barton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalo Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Otomo Yoshihide? Just a guess, but based on what I've learned from my Japan-obsessed friend who married a Japanes native, it would be something like this: Oh-toh-moh Yoh-shee-hee-duh. In my understanding, Japanese tends to give equal emphasis to all of the syllables, thus none of them are stressed more than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rostasi Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Japanese tends to give equal emphasis to all of the syllables, thus none of them are stressed more than others.Whoa....you better ask yer friend again about this 'cause what makes Japanese a mountain to climb for English speaking folks is that it doesn't equally emphasize all of the syllables! I spent many days just trying to learn the proper way to pronounce "Ryoanji" this summer and the inflections have to be just right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
