I don't use virtual machines, so no clue how to ensure which Orca
keyboard input is going to, but the default keybinding for toggling
speech on and off in Orca is Orca+s.

So, in theory, you should be able to

Launch virtual machine without giving keyboard control to the VM.
Press Orca+s to disable speech on host Orca.
Issue the key command to switch control to the  guest.
Do stuff in the guest.
Issue the key command to switch control back to the host.
press orca+s to re-enable the host orca.

This is, of course, assuming the VM software has keybindings to toggle
control between the host and guest.
