Hey pete listen up :)
i wanna know how do you pronounce "apocalypse" and "address ( as in place you live)" in an american accent ?????
Top answer
the a's in that word sound like short 'u' sounds instead of 'a' sounds. "address" is a little more complicated, as there are 2 perfectly acceptible ways to say it, depending on where in the USA you live and/or personal preference. Both are equally recognizable all over, though.

- One way is "uh-DRESS" (the capitalization shows which syllable gets the emphasis).
