How do you pronounce Animals and Animal names in Wicked?

Question

In the book Wicked by Gregory Maguire, it's a big point that animal and Animal is pronounced differently, due to very different meanings. This is also true of words like elephant and Elephant, or cow and Cow. I was wondering if anyone knows how to pronounce these?

Answer 1

I haven't the slightest clue how one would do that. It threw me a little while reading it. I'd say your best bet to find out would be to listen to an audio-book of Wicked. They actually do have one on iTunes.
