try it out with different voices, for starters try

  say "process failure" -v trinoids

you can find all the available voices with

  say -v '?' 

or from Accessibility>Spoken-Content>System-voice>Manage-voices

A nice feature I discovered recently is -a: you can give it a specific audio device, which falls back to the default if not present. I use it to report when builds finish through my monitor speakers in case I'm not wearing headphones. If I'm on the go and don't have the monitor connected it plays through the speakers.
