var synth = window.speechSynthesis;

var utterance2 = new SpeechSynthesisUtterance('We should say another sentence too, just to be on the safe side.');
synth.speak(utterance1);
synth.speak(utterance2);
synth.cancel(); // utterance1 stops being spoken immediately, and both are removed from the queue
