First instinct "vee/o/la: /ee/ = /ee/ in free - with the accent on the letter /o/; is your recent switch to VIE/o/la with a long /I/ (as in smile) sound - with accent on that long /i/ sound??
I am uncertain which I prefer. However, sometimes a new pronunciation, any new change of something I've always thought fixed &/or standard is better - and refreshing.
