[...] I have just found Sounds Familiar?, a fantastic website and have spent much time playing with it. It reminds me of the George Mason University Speech Accent Archive. [...]

You’ll like IDEA (International Dialects of English Archive, http://www.ku.edu/~idea), another similar resource, put together by people who want to document dialectal variation in English for… actors! Both of these are excellent teaching resources for courses on phonetics and phonology.

As a non-native speakers who’ve lived in the U.S. for over a decade, I think accent is a fascinating topic too. That’s why we made it very easy for anyone to record “please call stella” at our site (http://www.kantalk.com), so he or she can get feedback from others. Feel free to check it out.

You gotta love del.icio.us! Glad you found this one useful, Mikhail. I first got directed to it by Paul Fallon, a Linguist here at UMW.
