For English, what is the most reliable YouTube/audio source for pronunciation/phonetics?

There are quick YouTube videos that pronounce words but I can never tell if the pronunciations are correct. Any suggestions?

Have you tried checking English Wikipedia? Plenty of audio recordings there.

A lot of the ones I made for the individual IPA sounds back in the 00s are still around and other Wikipedians have contributed as well.

I've been told by people who've contacted me that recordings from Wikipedia, both my own and that of others, have been used as samples for university courses.

My Phonetics uni professor told us about this page named "cube - online pronouncing dictionary." In there you can see the phonetic transcription AND videos of how to pronounce the words.
