You can build your voice with open source software like Festival or Openmary. You will need a carefully prepared recording of your voice for about 1 hour

There are also commercial services which allows you to build a custom voice, for example Cereproc

Update 2019: These days you can use modern neural network toolkits see Nvidia Tactoron2 and Realtime Voice Cloning
