Just wondering if anyone knows any kind of sites that can help with my sound design projects. I enjoy taking samples and recordings and inserting them alongside any digitised music I create, but there's just not enough of what I'm looking for, particularly spoken word, conversations, arguments between people, soundscapes, etc...
The only site I know that's really got what I want is www.freesound.org but there's no recorded conversations that I can see.
For example, recordings like the audio diaries in BioShock would be awesome... I've tried searching for early 20th century recordings, but they're all political, US related stuff that isn't appropriate for what I'm working with.
If anyone can help or knows any sites you could recommend, please do. :)
I'd be happy to show off any work I've done, which isn't much, but I dunno if you guys would like it, heh.

Thanks dudes! Hopefully I can find some decent stuff there.
If you're interested, this is the kind of thing I was talking about...

Something I put together today. Spoken word by Trent Reznor, of course. :p

And everyone knows their boot legs are way better than their studio music.
