Like Jimmy Swaggart you mean? He's still alive, 88, so some of these are still copyrighted.

This one's already in 30 second snip form, and it's a doozy:

Thank you, though I guess I need to stay away from copyrighted. I think, I don't have a full understanding. I'm not permitted to use them without permission if they're copyrighted, correct?

Depends on the context. If you want to include it in a work of journalism, satire, or political commentary, it's probably fair game. If it's for a video or musical work, like a dance mix, you'd have to get permission, like Byrne/Eno did for their My Life in the Bush of Ghosts album. Most of the preachers let them use the clips (free publicity, and really good grooves get butts in seats), but not all. Some people are little too protective of their product.

You could just try and post the question on LibriVox forum for people to do this for you, especially if you paid them. Lot of good voice actors on there; I used to record for them. Text could be straight from the source or one of the many public domain collections of sermons (up to 1928) available on Project Gutenberg and Internet Archive texts. Do a little research on Wikipedia re evangelical preachers of the era (1890-1928) for starters. or try 78 RPMs for sermons, like this black-sounding preacher from 1926: https://archive.org/details/78_the-one-thing-i-know_rev-j-m-gates_gbia0070861a The ones from 1914-22 should be out of copyright, but maybe not as good as Rev Gates.

Okay, thank you.

It is for music, so I'd probably run into trouble. I'm probably best off just avoiding anything copywritten.
