I think it's like "LAYV SHREYE-ber"

I think Liev rhymes with "gave"

I starred in a short film called Magnetic Personality. Check it out!

just refer to him as "Mrs. Texas Two Step." And if you're hot enough, you may learn my pet name for him.

if it follows the german grammar rules, it should be

Leaf Schr(eye)ber

ie is pronounced ee, v is pronounced as an f

ei is pronounced I

if it doesn't, then I have NO idea

IMDB says it's pronounced "Lee-ev", but if you're speaking German it's pronounced Leaf, like Elphaba said. I'm sure it's because we Americanized it. His last name is swanky - it means "writer" in German.

Yeah, I always thought it was Liev, like Kiev.

It is Lee-ev...however, it's said fast that at times it sounds like Leev (as in Leave).

"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive. "Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot." "No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one." Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

Has anyone ever heard him say it himself?

I've always thought the name was Russian, so I've been pronouncing it "Lee-Ev," like Kiev. That's how it's pronounced in the media.

There was a feature on National Public Radio yesterday morning. I didn't hear the whole interview (as I was making breakfast) but it sounded like "Lee-ev."
