java say only speaks the first word

I have the following code:

public class ChatSystem {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpeakCommand sp = new SpeakCommand("hello master! How are you feeling today?");
        sp.execute();
    }
}

import java.io.IOException;

public class SpeakCommand implements CommandInterface{
    String message;
    public SpeakCommand(String content){
        message=content;
    }

    public void execute() {
        try {
            System.out.println("spd-say \"" +message+ "\" -p 100 -i 100 -t female1");
            Runtime.getRuntime().exec("spd-say \"" +message+ "\" -p 100 -i 100 -t female1");


        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Which if executed result in my laptop saying "hello" in the correct voice (that is -p 100 -i 100 -t female1 -r -40 is indeed passed to say). The printout also correctly states spd-say "hello master! How are you feeling today?" -p 100 -i 100 -t female1 which if executed in the command line works. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
