Hi, In Leopard, using any VoiceOver command would cancel system speech. Any events in Skype will be spoken by your default voice on the Mac. Meaning, these events have nothing at all to do with VoiceOver. However, in Snow Leopard when trying to navigate with VoiceOver while an event is being spoken doesn't always stop it. VoiceOver won't speak, in which case, you can either wait until it's done speaking or simply use any of the speech attribute commands.
