I can completely understand why actors tend towards IPA. There's an agreed upon way to pronounce everything. [Based on my experience with stage actors in undergrad.]

Now that I've gotten rid of most of the prep, I'm a bit tempted. However, I'll need to wait and see if there's room between a nearly 72K epistolary fic that I'm in the process of podficcing and a yet to be announced Big Bang word count starting in May/June.
