festivalcommand=(voice_don_diphone)(tts_textasterisk "%s" 'file)(quit)\n
try adding a set of parens like this:
festivalcommand=((voice_don_diphone)(tts_textasterisk "%s"'file)(quit))\n
<SNIP>natural sounding voice? So far the best I've found were from here: http://hts.ics.nitech.ac.jp/download.html
Have you seen "festivox"? It's a tool for building voices
The key to making festival sound natural is to get the timming and entonation right. The astrisk app uses festivels "demo" test to speech application which is just that a quick dirty demo.
Have you seen the markup language on the CMU site? http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~awb/festival_demos/sable.html
"Sable" can do MUCH better then the simple tts application.

As a reminder to our viewing audience: search the archives for "cepstral" - there are some decent sounding voices with Cepstral, for $30. There is a patch in the bugtracker for app_cepstral, though I have not had a chance to play with it yet.
