Hi Deby,
Plenty of samples at this site:
http://accent.gmu.edu/
I use it regularly. They have native speakers reading a stock paragraph that contains the most common linguistic elements.
Enjoy!,

Joe, these are all great links, the Speech Accent Archive in particular. It covers a lot of accents and includes phonetic transcripts. Very cool. Great primers.
When clients ask for impersonations or soundalikes, YouTube is also a pretty good resource. I didn't even know who Rachel Specter was until I read a lead this morning and found her on YouTube. I was able to listen to her voice to get an idea of what the client wanted (not so much the age but the rough sultriness).
