http://accent.gmu.edu/ is also a great accent resource. (especially if you read IPA, but the recordings are pretty awesome on their own)

I'm surprised but how few California samples there are, especially Northern and non-coastal. 6 is about average for their site, but CA is so big we certainly have more variations. Bakersfield, for instance, has a lot of traces of the accents of Midwesterners who moved there in the 1930s in their local accent. Their California 1 is from right around my area; I'm a ~Valley Girl ohmigawwd~. I don't say like and um half as often as their speaker does in her anecdote, and I don't think I have as such a strong terminal rise.
