No. Go to text to speech in system preferences. Voiceover can be set to use a different voice itself.

I have my system voice set to Fred, and I used Fred for all other voices, so I'm not sure what would cause the delay. I just went to check the system voice I have set, and the only thing I see under VoiceOver Utility is an option for "Default Voice," which is the closest thing I see to a system voice. Is this what you're referring to? Thanks.
