As Alex stated, the only area I'm familiar with Voiceover speaking at a
slow rate is at log in, and with the Alex voice. If you've set other
voice parameters to your preference, they should be honored system-wide.
If you could give us more examples of where the rate changes, that would
be helpful in pinpointing what's happening.
Thanks,
Rachel.

VoiceOver at login will always use Alex, and always at a slow rate, in
my experience. I've never seen it do this elsewhere, except in system
updates.

Rachel,
This is not what I am talking about. VO works at login and
elsewhere. But what I want to do is change how VO speaks everywhere.
I am using the Alex voice and I have the speech rate pitch etc set
the way it works best for me. These voice settings however are not
honored system wide. Not at login and not in some dialogs tho at the
moment I cannot pin down exactly where. I set Samantha as the system
voice but she has yet to speak.
Many people can run their speech at a fast rate, I cannot.

Hi,
If you go to system preferences, users and groups, login options pain,
click the lock to make changes, enter in your admin password. Then tab
through that window and you'll see various options you can customize
when logging in. A chedkbox you'll want to see checked is Voiceover at
the logon window.
Hopefully this fixes your problem.

Alex and Rachel,
To Alex. You probably have your speech rate set higher than normal
human speech so you might not know when system related events is
announced. I have to slow it down so when I hear the system speech,
sometimes its hard to unbderstand.
So per Rachel's suggestion, I went into system prefs, dictation and
speech, and changed system voice to Samantha (I am using Alex as the
normal voice). So far she is not speaking to me. She certainly is not
at login.

Hi,
This sounds like you're hearing the system voice that's speaking
other information.
You can change the rate of this by going into system
preferences>dictation and speech>text to speech tab, and in there
you'll find adjustments of the system voice, as well as the rate.

The other day I had some questions, none of which got answered, so
will tackle them singly.
Voiceover is set to my liking except when system related
information is spoken. It sounds like its using default VO
settings. Is there another place where I can change this?
