Audio Only Links for Acting Selects

Audio Only Sites: I encourage my students to find the original clip to understand the original context and the original delivery of the lines.  However, looking through these libraries might offer some selects you had not thought of exploring.

Later, you can get the video of the original clip to match the audio take you pick to animate to for dialog.

You can, of course, create new context for any audio clip, but it is much more helpful to at least see the original acting performance first.
