If you're willing to invest time, Festival
<http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/> lets you add your on
voice. Indeed, it lets you add any language you feel like. I haven't
tried adding a voice to it. I was thinking of making an Australian
English dialect, but it sounded like too much work. It's a Unixy program
though. (I've been led to believe that it works in Windows, but it'll
still need a command prompt.)
