Why don't you just email them at talkenglish@talkenglish.com.

Am sure they would be native English speakers or close to it.

English Accent or not at TalkEnglish.com

Quote:
All the recordings on talkenglish.com are from 100% native English speakers. All the teachers and speakers are using American English Accent.

Whether it is better to use British English or American English??? I don't know. It doesn't matter which one any student studies. Learning one will allow that person to communicate with other people with different accents. But everyone is entitled to their opinion.
The above are comments from Steve at www.talkenglish.com
