Common Mispronunciations of Production
Not PROH-duhk-shuhn
Although it is spelled pro, the opening comes out as a colourless pruh with no weight at all, and DUHK carries the word.
Not pruh-DUHK-shee-uhn
Those four closing letters hold one beat between them. Giving the i a sound of its own stretches the word to four.
Tip: Produce and production both leave the front unstressed, while the noun product pulls everything forward to PRAH.
