That depends on if you want to butcher Latin, as is proper in English, or speak proper Latin. (English vowels are strange; they don't sound like the vowels in any of the languages I've heard. They mostly resemble Dutch. Latin, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, German, French, Italian, Persian and Spanish all have about the same placement in the mouth of the vowels, barring local diphtongs and "extra" vowel sounds.)
If you want to butcher it, you'd better ask your fellow English-speakers.
If you don't, the c is hard, making it sound like a k. The um is not far from the "om" chant. (Though the vowel is not long. Not short either.) The l is just a regular l sound, the a is pronounced like a Brit would say the a in father, the u is the same sound you used before, the d is a regular d and the e is a very straight e, almost like the french é, but without the stress. (The stress is on the au.)
