Depending on your specific needs, perhaps a recording of the CUNY
Nonsense Syllable Test would fit the bill. One is actually available for
download here:

terials.htm

There are a few layers of ZIP files, and the wave files contained
therein each have one CV or VC in a carrier phrase. I haven't used them
for anything but am impressed to see how available they are.

Dear Members,

I am working on a project where I need to do some recognition
experiments only
on consonant sounds (or in other words, speech dominated by consonant
sounds).
Can anyone please suggest me where I can find such a Consonant speech
database
or Consonant-Vowel-Consonant (CVC) speech database?

Thank you very much.
