Accepted answer
This was getting too long for a comment, but Cambridge University's ASNC Spoken Word site has examples of Old English and Norse texts being read. (They also have an example of Insular Latin, some Welsh and Cornish texts, medieval Irish Gaelic, and some continental Celtic language texts). I understand that more texts are likely to be added over time.
- At the time of writing, the Old English (Anglo-Saxon) texts are just two passages from the Battle of Malden poem.
- The Old Norse examples are a passage from Gylf*ginning, and an excerpt from The Saga of Hrolf kraki. The latter is offered in 2 versions, with one being read more slowly:
"... in order to allow listening to specific phrases and pronunciation practice."
In each case, the text and translation are provided, with an audio file that can either be played in the browser or downloaded..
