Have you tried multispeech? It uses an mbrola voice wich sounds rather
different from flite, so you might like it. I have not yet managed to
set up multispeech myself, but you can try it on the Oralux 0.7 live
CD. It works well with emacspeak and offers languages other than
English. 

If you want to use festival, your best bet is currently to do it via
speech-dispatcher in my opinion. Ask on their mailing list if there is
a way to use it from emacspeak. Otherwise, you will have to use
speech-el instead of emacspeak.

Best regards, Lukas
