I wrote an article on my site, Studio Log, that describes various ways of
marking up speech in AppleScripts to control rate, but there isn't a
specific "volume" command:

Using Spoken Feedback in AppleScripts and Applescript Studio Applications

However, you can set the system volume temporarily similar to setting and
then re-setting text item delimiters:

set theVoices to {"Agnes", "Albert", "Bad News", "Bahh", "Bells", "Boing",
"Bruce"}
set volume 0
repeat with i from 1 to count of theVoices
set volume i
say "Hello, I am " & item i of theVoices using item i of theVoices
end repeat
set volume 3

However, this also "turns down" the music temporarily.
