I want you to think of it like this: If a person had a speech impediment, would the angels refuse to work with them? What if that person was a mute? The pronunciation isn't the key. Your intent is the key.
As far as pronouncing Tzavoos, yours is as good as any. I sometimes speak with a Southern US accent. I would say it slightly different, because of my accent. Because of the regional differences in dialect, how it is pronounced would be different from say someone who is in the North Eastern US, vs a person in the Southern US, vs a person in the Mid-Western US, vs a person in the Western US, vs a person in Australia, vs a person in the UK, vs a person in the Ukraine, vs a person in China, vs a person in any other part of the world.
I know you were hoping for a straight "Yes" or "No" to your question, but one can't be given, because how you would pronounce it wouldn't be the same way I would pronounce it. Either way, it's going to work for you. Give it a try.
