In case you don't find a native speaker (and for the benefit of other forum users with a similar need), a useful site for Italian pronunciation is the RAI's Dizionario d'ortografia e di pronunzia (type the word where it says 'Scrivi la voce', then click on 'Cerca'). I also have a copy of the excellent Dizionario di Pronuncia Italiana by Luciano Canepari, so feel free to drop me a line.
