Usually, if you have voiceover turned on, it will start talking when the machine reboots. However, if it doesn't do this, you'll need to go into your account settings, and check the box that says use voiceover on login screen. If you want to have it log you in automatically, and there's only one account on the machine, you can select that option in your account preferences as well. You may be able to select the user to log in as if you have multiple accounts, but I don't know this for sure, as I've never used the login automatically option, since I don't like folks having access to my machine w/o me around to validate them. Hope this helps, and that it's still valid, since 10.9 isn't an s version I've used (yet) but the steps should be pretty similar regardless.
