I suppose this should be a no brainier, but for some words it isn't. People say names differently and words especially if you are working with someone from a different country, which was my case. I was asked to record a script like an audio book most of the names were biblical and others fairly easy, but the customer wanted them pronounced differently than I normally would and differently than google translator, which I use if I am unsure of the correct pronunciation of a word. It is very time consuming to now have to go back through and basically re-record the whole script just because of a few minor changes in pronunciation, but you always want to please your customers so the changes must be made. If you are doing any kind of speaking for any of your gigs, make sure you ask for a recording or all words that seem possible to change, especially names and places.
