John, This is great stuff!.

>From this website it should be very possible to create a library of sounds
with your own voice.

There's a chart of them at the first link on following site. (Free bonus,
you get to learn the phonetic alphabet!) "You can hear Peter Ladefoged
pronounce all of the vowel and consonant symbols on the basic IPA chart.
These are .aiff sound clips.":

http://hctv.humnet.ucla.edu/departments/linguistics/VowelsandConsonants/vowe
ls/contents.html

That link came from "Resources For Studying Spoken English," here:

There is definitely a set of standard phonemes and allophones for every
language, if that's what you are asking.
