How Do You Spell VANESSIA?
Pronunciation: [vˈe͡ɪnɛʃə] (IPA) 
The spelling of the name "Vanessia" can be phonetically transcribed as /vəˈnɛsiə/. The "v" sound is created by the lips touching and then separating, creating a burst of air. The "ə" sound is called schwa and is pronounced with a neutral tongue position. The "n" sound is created by the tongue touching the alveolar ridge behind the upper teeth. The "ɛ" sound is made with a relaxed jaw and the tongue slightly raised. The "s" sound is created by bringing the tongue to the front of the mouth and blowing air through the narrow gap between teeth. The last two syllables are pronounced with the same neutral schwa sound as the first syllable.
