Does anyone have resources for listening to the spoken Pali?
thank you

Hi Me1, it was lovely meeting you at class yesterday! I am completely absorbed right now in spoken/chanted pÄli (not sure this is a beneficial absorption given how much time Iām spending on it 
).
SC-Voice is a primary tool for me at the moment.
As an aside ā speaking to us all now, perhaps we could use a course thread dedicated to resources where all such ancillary info is posted. (Versus different threads for different resource questions.)
Just a thought as I imagine these resource questions will proliferate (in a good way!). One-stop-shopping approach.
Iāll wait to see what @johnk thinks about that idea.

Iām not sure what idea you and Peg (@Me1) are actually proposing, Beth. I thought there was a thread for PÄli resources already.
Or if itās just a thread for spoken and chanted PÄli, then thatās fine. Just go ahead and use this thread, but please change the name "Lesson 1 spoke Paliā doesnāt mean much.

Indeed, probably best to use the existing topic with PÄli resources for these questions. The topic can be found here:

A collection of 290 suttas recited in pÄli by Bhikkhu Jiv can be found at Internet Archive by searching for āaudtip.ā As others have noted, the pronunciation is very clear. This collection is connected with earlier efforts by Frankk at the website lucid24.org, but the website is not easy to navigate. Better to access these great recordings at Internet Archive-Audtip

Ven. @Sobhana, Iāve been on a mission-- a noble one, I hope! ā to find, curate, download, and upload to the google cloud all of Ven. Jiv.'s recordings. Along the way, Iām snagging Frankās recordings because I find the quality awesome.
The reason Iām doing this is because I donāt know how long āThe Internet Archiveā will be around; thus my objective to re-load them on the google cloud (the perpetual existence of which is not in doubt ā in some shape or form ā for at least the next 20 years).
Frankās website is how you described it. He appears to manage Audtip as well. I pick up from his blogs that there may have been a row with SuttaCentral so I am respecting his privacy.
Itās taking me a while to round up all the recordings, etc. I am sharing my google file with SuttaCentral below. @Gillian re: your email to me, please feel free to nest the google cloud URL in the Resources thread-list. It may be confusing to try to maintain a separate spoken-Pali thread? To make a long story short, Iāve decided to make the existence of the shared google file public information

(Of course, all this assumes this next breath is not my last as Iām hosting the google space ā¦ I suppose thereās some way I should arrange ābackupā so Iāll give that some thought 
)

Thank you for your effort. Frank dwells near our vihara in California. In past, when we were a few bhikkhunis with no sure resort for almsfood, he very honorably made sure we were cared for, despite his reclusive character.

Thanks Beth
I am finding sutta central voice to be very good.

Are all the readers in SC voice human or are some computer generated? Im wondering particularly about the options āAmyā and āAdhitaā in the Therigatha section.

All voices are computer generated, except for āBhante Sujato Paliā and āBhante Sujato Englishā. You can see it from the icons in the settings:
Thanks, I never looked carefully at those little robot icons! I started reading Therigatha aloud and recording it, now I am inspired to make a project of it.
