This deals with  mispronounciations of names.

For example, the guy's name is Sid, but this other guy pronounces it "Seed."  My question is do you include this in the first description in a conversation between these two characters, do you write "Seed" in the dialogue when the man is addressing him, or do you not do anything at all because it's for the actors?

Thanks.

I don’t know what the technical way is but personally, I would like to know when a particular character speaks with certain distinction such as that.

I would suggest that you point it out either in a description at their first conversation or with parentheses at the first time the character says the name. Definitely don’t point it out more than that first time. That would be annoying. First time, I would get it and that would need to be the end of it.

That's kind of what I was thinking too.  Thanks for your words!

You could start off by saying that the person speaks with a heavy accent.  If he need to pronounce something a specific way, you would spell it phonetically and in italics.

I would write "he has a heavy accent" at most.  You're stepping on the actor's toes.

Couldn't you write a note, like:

(Note: Sid's name is pronounced "seed")

But I think that the "Heavy accent" is probably better.
