Привет, Тициана! "О" pronounced "o" when it is under stress. In other cases it sounds like "a"

"Меня зовут Тициана". O is read like A in unstressed positions. E.g.: молоко’ (milk) - the last O is stressed and it is read like O. The first and the second O are not stressed, so that is why we pronounce like [malakO']
