Why? Don't you know that Gnus highlights citing from different people
wiht different colours? (Gnus has been doing so for a long time
before this has become a "standard" feature among other news/mail
readers.)
And don't you know that Emacspeak maps different text highlights to
different voices in the text-to-speech engine? So, you hear plain
text read in one voice, *bold* text in another, /italic/ in a third,
etc. If you're editing a C/C++/Java/whatever program, Emacspeak can
read out the reserved word in one voice, class/type names in another,
variable names in a third, function names in a fourth, comments in a
fifth, etc.
I know this because I've tried Emacspeak using IBM's ViaVoice speech
synthesizer, which used to be free. (I can't find the link anymore.)
It's really amazing! :)

Maybe, you can answer your own questions by trying out Emacspeak.
Whether it can use different voices depends on what speech synthesizer
you're using. I have never got Festival to render as many voices as
ViaVoice.
