Hello Adrienne,

I'll add one note to what others have already said. If you desire to have a non 
- English VO voice prior to the release of OSX 10.7 Lion, you can download and 
install a fully functional 30 day trial of any of the voices from 
Assistiveware, the vendor mentioned by Anne. I've just begun using a trial 
version of the Spanish voice named "Rosa" and am very pleased with the quality 
and performance of the voice as well as the simplicity with which I can switch 
between the English and Spanish voices on the fly using the VO keystrokes Anne 
outlined. Here is a direct link to Assistiveware's voice download page where 
you can listen to samples of each voice and download the fully functional 
versions.

HTH,
Bryan
