You can set the voice (if you have more than one installed) and the
speed in the Speech dialog of the Windows Control Panel.

I think you can download other voices, but a quick look at Google
turned up mostly voices that work only with other speech engines that
you have to spend money for.

From the Lnaguage Bar, select Tools > Options
Click on Advanced Speech
Select the Text to Speech tab
Choose your voice from the Voice Selection dropdown
And move the slider at the bottom for speed.

There are only a couple built in and they all sound very electronic of
course.
