Rather than pay money for something I could probably do alone by myself, I would observe people. In Maya, you are not the character you create. You view everything in am omni-third person way. Grab an icecream if your not lactose intollerant, sit down on a bench at a mall, and watch people in stores and as they walk by. Sounds almost creepy I know, but you can learn so much by simply observing how the human body and mind works.

If you are really into character animation, then I would highly recommend taking an acting class at least once or twice. It can add so much to your work in terms of really understanding how to give life to your character. If you don't want to take a class, read some books on acting. There's a pretty good book out there called "Acting for Animators" by Ed Hooks. It's a small acting book that is geared specifically towards animators (hence, the title). Good information, relatively cheap (something like $30).

For the record, my avatar is straight out of Richard Williams' "Animator's Survival Kit", nothing special. I did that quickie walk cycle as a demonstration for my animation class. Took me longer to scan and upload it than it did to animate.
