We've had a few questions about pronunciation of words in this group! Aspiring voice actors may be worried, and I'd like to allay some fears for now - we have not made any official decisions regarding pronunciation yet!
It's something we have to discuss!
Pronunciations of words like SBURB and Calliope and the like, all of them are difficult!
It won't be something that effects you when we look at your voice acting at all, because it's easily changed!
I believe Hussie did post at one point how he says some words (oh, somebody provided a link! Thanks, sorry I'm lazy >.< homestuckresources.tumblr.com/…   ), but let's see how you all say them as well! It's open for discussion!


So, how do you pronounce difficult to say words in Homestuck?



Spell them phonetically so we can follow you! You don't have to do all of them, feel free to discuss one at a time!

And some of them are kind of painfully obvious. Don't phonetically spell John. It's fricking JOHN.

ex: Karkat: KAR-kat
