  • is it Jerry gold-SMITH or Jerry GOLD-smith?

    It's "The King".

  • How does one pronounce JOHN WILLIAMS?

    It's "The Towner".

    IPA


    but I personally prefer

    Moross, I think, is "more-OSE"


    I heard someone introduce his daughter, Susan, at a conference once as "Mo-ROSS".

    Carter Burwell

    I've been saying Bur-well, but on the Oscars, I heard it pronounced Burrell.

    Any thoughts?

    I've never heard anyone say Burrell.
    The Oscars, you say. Probably some idiot illiterate actor who bailed on education.

    I heard someone say Benjamin Vall-fisch on the radio the other week.

    It was Christopher Walken, IIRC. I kinda figured I'd been saying it correctly all along, but you never know.

    Oh. I love Christopher Walken. He's one of my all time favourite actors, so I'll let him off.
    He probably just needed his reading glasses wink
