There is probably some clever way to do it from the GUI but I'm
comfortable doing stuff in terminal so here is how I would do it. Get a
text file with what you want said. In terminal do
say -o audiofile.aiff < textfile.txt
That will use voiceover to generate an aiff audio file of the spoken
version of whatever text is in textfile.txt. You can then load up that
AIFF into iTunes to convert it to mp3 or use Sox if you have that
installed. You can specify the audio file format to be something else
but mp3 was not one of the choices. In playing around I found it to be
quite fast - about a 20:1 ratio for performance. In other words it took
1 seconds to generate 20 seconds of spoken text audio.

Hi all,
I know this has been around before, but it isn't something I've ever needed to
do. What's the best way to convert a txt or PDF document to MP3?
TIA,
Donna
