They can also have fun discussing what's missing (expression) from the computerised speech that they should add when speaking themselves. Finally, if you use a program like Audacity to let them record their parts and then assemble them later into the play, they can rehearse, re-record the parts they get wrong, and edit the final sound file.

Give extra points for the students who do this and execute their lines effectively by practicing beforehand.
