You can use this website to create spoken wav files. However, they may sound a bit robotic.

Moose, this website works perfectly for what i want to do! One of the male and one of the female voices sound far less "robotic" than the others.
Can't wait for my next tournament to unveil the sound files that i have created. The one i came up with for the start of the tournament goes something like this: "welcome to four aces poker's main event...the tournament of champions. good luck to everyone...let's shuffle up and deal" It was about midnight last night when i came up with that and it tested out perfectly. also, i created sound files for every blind level that i use, and just use whichever sound files match what blind level i use. Still have a little more work to do, thankfully i have 4 weeks to get it perfect. also, i used the event "level end" and inserted my blinds levels and even a sound bite that says "Break time" when breaks come into play. also, i use 10 or 12 minute breaks, and after the voice announces break time, then i have music that kicks in all the way down to the very last second, so that not one second is "dead air" during a break. I like using "Sin City" and "Girls got Rhythm" by AC/DC and also "Take on Me" by A-Ha. It works perfectly. I would suggest that website for anyone looking to personalize their tournaments. I am also thinking about using sound bites using a player's name when they bust out using hotkeys. "Joe Blow has been eliminated". Of course, this is simplified due to the fact i usually have at around 9 to 12 players a month. It's all family and close friends, and i think it adds a little something extra into the mix.
