Trust me, you're better off not knowing. But since you asked. ...
Go into the Voiceover preferences and open the speech page. Be sure
that additional speech options are checked so you can play with one
of the voices that, say, won't make your whole system sound annoying
if you lose your way.
When you select a voice, its name is spoken, followed by a phrase:
"Nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come."
Cellos is probably one of the more annoying ones, although I'd have
to say that bells gives it a run for its money. Hysterical is, well,
hysterical.
