A friend on Facebook hipped me to this site today:

http://www.dialectsarchive.com/

I've only been exploring it a bit, but it seems that it could be a useful resource for anyone looking to hear an authentic accent or dialect. I'm pretty sure I'll get some use out of it on my various audiobook projects.

Been using this one for years - what is interesting is how watered down many of the dialects have become because of moving around. But it is still very useful.
