If you don't mind playing around in the terminal you should be able to
get the "say" command to do what you want. You can pass it a text file
to speak and have it write the audio out to a file. In the text file you
can embed commands to the speech engine to change pitch and such. I'd
have to dig through the archives of this mailing list to dig those up
but a little Googling should get you going. Here is one doc that seems
to cover things:

Hi all,
Is there an app out there that can, given a properly tagged text file,
convert the text into speech in different voices and write the
resulting audio to a file? I have to memorize lines, and I'd like to
convert them to speech in a file I can replay. Ideally, these would be
spoken with one voice per actor, so the script sounds more life-like
and is easier to parse as I'm listening. Is this possible, or do I
have to make my own app? Thanks.

Have a great day,
