0069: One Weird Hack To Nail Location Pronunciations Every Single Time

Hey there, hero!

I'm sure that wherever you grew up, there were various names of local points of interest that had very local names.

And you know the right way to say them. But people who aren't from around there? Not so much.

But you can only be familiar with a few areas and their peculiar place names - even if you are a military brat and moved around a lot.

So how do you handle unfamiliar location names when narrating an audiobook, or reviewing an audition script that has them?

I gotcha covered with my number one go-to source, and it works every single time.

What are the most mispronounced locations where you grew up? And if you have any other suggestions for resources, put them in the comments below.
