Talk:Caliban (moon)

According to The Royal Shakespeare Company, this is pronounced [KAL-a-ban].
variant pronunciation
In the Shakespeare Recording Society CD of Tempest (Peter Wood director, Hugh Griffith as Caliban), "Caliban" is usually pronounced with full vowels: kal'-i-ban. (That is, none are reduced to schwas.) However, in Caliban's lines "I had peopled else | This isle with Calibans", the vowels are reduced: kal'-ə-bənz. This is of course what you'd expect from rapid speech.
