Does anyone have a suggestion about where I could actually hear a recording of someone speaking Latin with a Roman pronunciation?

Try Youtube. I haven't searched it for Latin, but it's a great asset for hearing how foreign languages are pronounced.

You can look for recordings of famous poets. I remember finding poems by Catullus, and I was struck by how soft it was, pre-Italian, so so speak, when I had falsely assumed Latin was harsh.

Of course, it was a professsor’s reconstruction but it sounded great.
