Pronunciation of German Actors and Artists

This blogpost is dedicated to Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo of BBC
Radio Five Live. I enjoy their Friday-afternoon banter and wondered
if I could support them in any way. Well, there is only one thing
that came to mind: I could help Mark, who always tries to pronounce
names and titles correctly, to do so in German. This is an
alphabetical list of Germans (and Austrians) that claim
international fame. Some more, some less... By clicking on the
player below each name, you will hear it pronounced in German. You
can also download each file as an MP3 by right-clicking on the name
and the clicking on "save as". If you need more names - please just
send me an e-mail or leave your suggestions in the comments!
