Leopard's Alex 'sings' Still Alive

Apple's Text-to-Speech engine got a new voice with the release of Leopard. Named Alex, it's one of the most natural sounding 'on-board' voices I've ever heard. Pronunciation still isn't as crisp as some of the higher end paid for programs, but it's not too shabby.

Here it is in use.
For the uninitiated, 'Still Alive' is the ending credits song for the game 'Portal', and to fully appreciate it, the game must be played.
