It is possible to assign keyboard shortcut in voiceover utility to toggle 
speech on and off in the category Commands.  I have done this to make sure I 
can mute and unmute speech in this way.  You do this by launching Voiceover 
utility with vo+F8, going to Commands, enabling right option key and then 
activating edit to see which shortcut keys are already assigned, and then 
assigning your own combination or editing any existing ones.

Hope this helps.
