This tip was very helpful, but led to another problem. aiff files were
being written, but only to my root directory. Since I am using
AppleScript Studio to get my path, it returns a POSIX path (with
slashes). So I needed to convert it as below with "POSIX path".

say the_verbage using the_voice saving to POSIX path of the_path

This worked.
