whats the difference when pronouncing Mademoiselle

Hope someone may help, merci!
I don't think they're intentionally pronouncing it "mad-moiselle"... I think they are just barely pronouncing the "e". I think it's just cutting corners in the language, everybody knows what's being said so it's not a big deal. I do this a lot, for example I cannot properly say "picture (pick-shure)", I say it "pitcher"

also, anything that ends with "sks" or "sts"... just can't do it... instead of saying "masks" or "masts", I say "mass" for both cases.
