There is a book of scripts available in the resources section of this site.  If you have trouble locating it, contact customer support and they can help you.

Hi--
Many agents and casting directors frown on hearing "boilerplate" (generic) practice scripts from VO sites (a lesson I learned "after the fact"). Consider customizing your demo with clips that truly reflect your unique traits and the genres cited in your Profile.  Suggested resources: magazine ads, documentary sites, movie websites, current radio or TV spots (change product name), book excerpt. A reputable VO trainer/coach will tell you when/if you're ready to produce a demo and what to include that singles you out from the herd. Caveat: Beware of shortcuts and predators who just want your money! Good luck.

I agree - if you are producing a demo that you eventually want to submit to an agent, then you will need original material and I highly recommend using a professional who produces demos.  But, if you're just looking to get some material up on the site, you can start with the more generic scripts while you work on finding the right person to create your signature demo.
