Settings -> Regional & Accessibility -> Text to Speech

easiest is to set it to speak notifications from the notifications tab.  I set 
mine to speak Konversation messages so I can listen to irc while working, 
etc.  You can choose the voices in the talkers tab.

Of course all of this is assuming you are meaning kde3, I'm not  sure what the 
state of kttsd is in kde4 svn or betas.
