I'm setting up a friend's new Mac, and I've encountered an issue: the VoiceOver voice on the login screen is speaking a language I can't identify. How can I change the VoiceOver voice and language at the login screen? The system interface language is set to English, and that's the only language installed. So why is the login screen using a strange voice and language?

have you checked language and region settings?
I do believe that you can have VoiceOver's language set to be English, but the max main language to be something else like Spanish. Also check to see if no other languages appear in I believe the additional languages section.
Haven't looked at this setting screen for a while, so I forget what it's called. You should see a table which might have other languages in it. Try removing everything but English or any other known languages.

I’m fairly sure that the voice used on logon is just the route user, just enable the user, I’m not sure how since it’s been a while since I did this, then change the voice from there. I can’t confirm if this works or not since it’s been a while but I have vague memories of changing the log on voice.

OMG, I thought apple had disabled root. I was 50% right, with all that SIP thing. But thanks! I just followed apple doc about how to enable and login as a root user. Cool stuff.
What is a root user?
I have English only throughout the whole system. No other language.
It works now
I could log in to the root user and and changed the log in voice. Thanks a million everyone for your help.
