The pronunciation of any word in English (or any language at all) is not Universal.  This is because there are many different dialects of The English Language — both throughout America, and also world-wide.  The pronunciations that are presented on GiveMeSomeEnglish!!! are based-upon a combination of both “common usage”, and the most neutral accent used in The International Common Tongue — a.k.a. “American English”.

Balance – For this word:  the first “a” is short;  and for the “-ance” suffix – the “a” is pronounced as an i-schwa;  the “c” is soft;  and the “e” is silent (this is the standard pronunciation of this suffix in The Common Tongue).

– /Bæ-lihn-s/ – /ˈbæ.lə(ɪ)n.s/ – Notice also that the stress is on the first syllable and that the “s” ending acts as a separate syllable –
