Reminders:
1.       You should read the words as a phrase, not as individual words, though each word should still be enunciated properly.
2.       They should pay close attention to the phonetic breakdown of the words, as well as on which syllable to put the correct stress.
3.       They should be extra careful with the pronunciation of “Onstar” as this is the brand name.



1.       Onstar- pronounce correctly (ahn-stahr)
2.       AE sound on “happy” and “active”                      “update” – stress should be on the 2nd syllable “date”
“subscription”- SUHB, not SOOB
3.       2010- pop the “t” for the word two & TH sound on “thousand”
4.       Verify should be pronounced as “ve-ruh-fy”
Color should be pronounced as  “kuh-luhr”
Vehicle should be pronounced as “vee-yuh-k’l
5.       Purposes should be pronounced as “puhr-puh-suhs”
“four-digit”- short i  sound  on “digit”             and “PIN”
t  sound at the end of “correct”

6.       Pop the “T” in perfect
7.       Pop the “t” in date
8.       Enunciate each word carefully
“It will be billed after your renewal date has passed”    “feel  free to call us”
9.       AE sound on “Hands-free” and “Add”
Short i sound on “unit”
10.   Short u sound on “good”
11.   Be sure to sound friendly, conversational, and “engaging” vs. sounding scripted, serious, transactional or business-like.
