Finnish can sometimes sound like Japanese words, but said slower. That might give you a starting point. Another point to make is that there's only one way to pronounce things. I'll see it phonetically mixing english words.

Taneli: say "done" but with a soft t for the d, and then add "Ellie"
Kuusisto: "Coo" but with a soft k + "sis" + "to(w)" but with a soft t and no w.

Leevi: "Le(t)" but extend the e sound + "vi(ola)
Madetoja: start with a "mud" and quickly add an "eh", the a "to(w)" like above, and then a "ya(rn).
