Any speech generator is going to sound like a robot. However, some are better than others. This is the best I've heard:

Still, I'd STRONGLY  suggest that you use real voices. Even if you can't act, it's going to sound more realistic than a computer generated voice. If voice acting is hard for you, and you can't get any friends to help, try changing your voice a little. Try using a fake British accent (If you're British, try a fake American accent :P ). Project your voice--speak from deep down in your diaphram. And don't hold the mike in front of your mouth--hold it off to the side so you don't blow into it.
