If you have max there's an external object called aka.speech that uses the mac voice synthesizer.

You can use Textedit to speak any text - edit > Start Speaking or Services > Speech from many applications, and record it with your built in mic.

Use Automator, in your applications folder, to build a workflow that creates an audio file from any text.
Something like this...
