TI recorded a simulated stress IWR database.  Vocab 105 wds.
The speakers were asked to speak in particular styles.

MIT Lincoln lab recorded a 35 wd IWR database which was an extension
of the above.  It included 2 segments with the subject reading each
word while performing and eye-hand coordinaiton task.

All of the above is American English spoken by native speakers.
