Yes, makes it a closed "oh" sound like in the English word "go" or when you say the letter O in the English alphabet, as opposed to a more open "aw" sound that "ó" makes.

It's pretty important in speech as it differentiates between, for example, grandfather (avô) and grandmother (avó) or even more risky, coconut and shit (cocó/coco and cocô).

Which is why I always avoided talking about coconut when I lived in Brazil......

So this chap, the easiest closest pronunciation would be Dodd (as in Ken) and Doh (as in dough), emphasis on the second syllable.
