Would there be any interest for short 2-minute, fully transcribed audio clips in your
target languages?

Audioboo allows you to easily add audio clips on their site. We could create an HTLAL
subgroup and allow people to post their own links following a set of common rules. For
instance, they could be tagged for language, region, etc., always be recorded by native
speakers, be fully transcribed (short clips are much easier to transcribe), etc. Then,
videos could be searched by tag within the subgroup.

Sounds good. I can do Dutch (and I could probably record some English if anybody ever
needed it) :)

It seems a great idea, but why couldn't we also have a TL subsection, where people would add speeches in their target languages and, in this case also very important, transcriptions? I would even consider to add phonetical transcriptions in both subsections.

Posting here is fine, but hosting the files would be problem. Then every member would
have a different way of hosting. Audioboo (or any other place anyone could suggest) has
a
practical and simple system that also hosts files -- you can upload or directly record
sound. It even has an app.

As for phonetic transcriptions, that's a lot to ask for, especially since there would
already be a transcription and a recording.

We could have a thread where people post links to any recordings, if you want.

The point was to have naturally uttered language, not to have natives read out a passage.

I made short recordings of my speaking/reading aloud in my target languages ca. 2006-7 for HTLAL's audio gallery, but I guess that I could add to my list with samples in Estonian, Northern Saami, Ukrainian and whatever else has been a target language since then.

To reiterate my initial intention -- which of course doesn't stop anyone from going in a different direction -- I was aiming for recordings made by native speakers, with full transcriptions.
