Breaking Down the Bard VIDEO - Character Name Pronunciations in A Midsummer Night's Dream

I wanted to go over something that's a pet peeve of A LOT of casting directors, producers, and directors in the industry: when actors come into an audition or rehearsal setting and don't know how to say the names of the characters, it looks just plain BAD.
