I intentionally mispronounce voila as viola. As in the string instrument.

Be careful with this, Viola sounds close to the past perfect of the verb violer, which can mean to break a rule (violer une règle) or worse, to rape

I doubt an English listener would make that mistake, sounds nothing like "violate."

Right, let's hope they don't understand french
