Hello Rafaela! Growl is very much accessible. Simply switch the display style to speech and you're good to go. You can do this from with in System Preferences>Growl.
The way Growl handles speech is slightly odd, though, as it speaks everything at once. That means that, if you get Skype chats and three to four people typing at once, it will announce all of this as soon as it happens. This means that occasionally, more events will speak at the same time. Growl is highly customizable, however, so you can change which events you want to speak for applications that implement Growl. Skype doesn't really need Growl, though, as Skype supports its own application events except automatically speaking chats. I'm currently looking at the source for Growl, so any suggestions for the Speech style would be welcome. I took it upon myself to look at this development, as not a lot of people besides visually impaired users utilize this style and no one seemed interested to develop it much further.
