Upon further consideration, I think I'm starting to agree with Sundance. Too much of a good thing can be bad, and too much VOX will probably end up being bad.

I wouldn't disagree with the idea of mechanics-operated text-to-speech components though, a la Microsoft Sam. To be perfectly honest, what with sound synthesizers, I was surprised when I found out it wasn't already a thing.
