Those Ivona voices are amazing - I've never heard text-to-speech voices sound so realistic (or maybe I have and just didn't know it?) Consider me very impressed!
I understand that you need some compensation for the pain to listen to Texan all day long.... , in some cases it could even be a relief to be deaf......
Not sure if Box would be applicable, but they've got some pretty realistic voices and you can do tons of voice shaping.
I used the text from Ivona's site to let the voices have a go at the same material:
I'm kinda partial to Heather (English US). With Speech Rate set to -20 and Voice Shaping set to +3, well some stuff sounds a little more interesting.
Edit: It also looks like the original idea is more of a scheduled task type objective, less of a market generated thing. If that's the case, any reason not to just use a desktop alarm that allows multiple alarms and the ability to play MP3 or other sound files?
2nd Edit: If such an alarm is an option, you may want to check this one out:
It's super tiny, a breeze to install, and painless to configure multiple alarms. I've also attached a ZIP of some voice files for the first four phrases (alliterate much? ) Hector provided.

Aligator thanks for the instructions. I may be missing this but when in line 2, you say copy and paste the sound files into your Ninja Sounds folder. Do you mean the same .cs file from line 1 and also where do I find the sounds foler in Ninja, for the life of me I can't find it. Or do I have to add a new folder to Ninja that says Sounds.
You want to unzip the package that Alligator posted in the Downloads section and extract the files into a temporary folder. You will see a NT indicator (which is also a .zip file) and four sound files. Copy the *.wav files into the NT7 program folder - usually C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 7\sounds. If you have not already loaded the .cs file, you can then use the NT import function to load the mahTimeAlerts indicator.
ddnut and aligator, thanks for all your help but that did not work either. I don't know whether I am doing
something wrong or the path is not correct but either way. I appreciate your help. I must have
tried this 8 times and still did not have any success. Your help is greatly appreciated. I was able to
install the wav files into my ninja sounds folder and i was able to install the .cs time alert but I tried
to test it with the times but no luck. I was doing government time for my test and I am in central time.
So any other help from you or any other fellow traders would be greatly appreciated.
You will need to follow the same type of steps as suggested by ddnut:
I don't use NT7 so I don't know if it allows you to import MP3 files instead of WAV files. My original suggestion was to use the MP3's with a freeware desktop alarm, and can't guarantee NT7 will behave similarly.
