Just replying to basically let you know your message hasn't been
ignored!!

I've never used macports and my mac book is too old to install the
latest macOS, so I cannot help. Curious though, how do you know a single
character is being spoken at a high rate of speed? (I'm not even sure
what 'speed' means in that context - it is a single character, so speed
relative to what?)

With regards to silencing VO while in Emacs, there is an option
available in the railwaycat/emacsmacport cask for homebrew, but it is
specific to that port (i.e. not part of vanilla emacs), so I suspect if
your using macports your out of luck and need to be using homebrew.
