I have my chapters ready to go, but thought I would check a couple pronunciations so I can fix them before submitting for PL if necessary. I should have done that earlier :oops:

I used: "La-Gate" for Ira's name, a silent "Y" for "Schuyler", and "Le-Jay" for St. Leger. I found multiple pronunciations for St. Leger and just want to use whatever will be consistent for the rest of the book.

I don't normally say anything about pronunciations, just because English can be pronounced differently in different parts of the world. I'm sure that what you have done it fine!

Chapters 2 and 3 are open, per the reader's request by PM. I'm waiting for an answer on chapter 1, whether that will be opened as well, or not.

I would like to claim those, and tentatively chapter one as well if it opens.

Chapter 1 is staying as is, but you are more than welcome to chapters 2 and 3!
Thank you!

How do I make sure that I match the pronunciation of other readers when it comes to unusual names? Also, is there a way to know what voices the key characters are being read in? For example, if previous readers gave a character a low voice, but I gave them a high voice, that could be jarrring.
It doesn't matter if you match what pitch other readers have given to any of the characters of the book. That is the beauty of group projects, each reader gives their own interpretation to the story. Some people use different voices, some don't, and both ways are fine. I normally don't call out people for what might be a mispronunciation of a particular word. Many English words are pronounced differently in different parts of the word, what is correct here may not be correct in England, and vice versa. The bottom line, don't over think it. Just do what you would do and don't worry about what others had done. So, what would you like to claim?
Can I claim sections 7-8, please?

Thank you!

It is a nonsense sentence. You have to translate the words then read it out loud to get the joke. Latin nerd stuff!
