Can I display dialog, and say at the same time?

I want the user to see some dialog, and hear something at the same time. so something like this

say "Hello!"
display dialog "Hello!"

Is there any way I can get these to happen at the same time? Everywhere I look, it just says things about different languages, or completely off topic websites.

You could pass the text to speak to the shell, suppress stdout and stderr and run the command in the background. 

do shell script "say Hello > /dev/null 2>&1 &"
display dialog "Hello!"
