I use a site called Voice123 for professional narration. You can write a script and have professional actors bid on the job. You can peruse hundreds, if not thousands, of actors and actresses, listen to their reels and ask certain ones to audition. This could be expensive, but if you need small bits of voice, (for learning a language, or cadence in a poetry class or something, it could be helpful). — Sarah Philbrick

You can use Garage Band, QuickTime, PowerPoint to create your own narrations. They all have built-in jammies for audio capturing. //— Sarah Philbrick//

Voice Threads - allows you to capture group conversations in a single web space. Group members can post images and make comments in five different ways - using voice (with a mic or telephone), text, audio file, or video (via a webcam). Worth checking out.
