There's a language technology company in Sydney that is recruiting UK English speakers to do a 20min speech recording over the phone. They pay $40AU for a call. This opportunity is available only for a couple of days. More info at: http://203.217.21.194:8888/overview

I understand your caution but it's a legitimate site and a legitimate business. Appen is a language technology company with partners all over the world. You can find out more about it here: Appen - Home

The link quoted before, http://203.217.21.194:8888/overview, is a temporary site set up just for the purposes of this speech data collection. It was used before for Australian English and over 300 people participated.
