Same. I don't understand the English pronounciation guides perfectly most of the time (or the tool/toll/tull things here) so I can't say for sure how I would pronounce tulpa if I had to say it in English, but closest to how it's in my language where everything's always pronounced the way it's written.

We pronounce it like a typical Swede. "tulpan" is a word is Swedish which translates to "tulip". We use the same sound as tulpan like this: "tull-pa". Rough and stiff with no added sounds like the "h". 

Tul as in fatul, pa as in paw.

 

As their life is in the paws of the fateful bear.

Huh, I really couldn't think of a "ul" sound in a word, but fatal works. So yeah, "fatal" and... oh, I say "uh" not "aw".

Everyone deserves to love and be loved. It's human nature.

My tulpas and I have a Q&A thread, which was the first (and largest) of its kind. Feel free to ask us about tulpamancy stuff there.

My way was more poetic, but that's close enough Lumi.
