Thanks Gregory, Is there a .conf file, and do you have any idea if there are voices in there to uncomment, or if it is done another way?

If using espeakup, the change would be in /etc/default/espeakup on debian and derivatives. I don't know about other distributions like arch and fedora. If using speech-dispatcher, you would change the DefaultVoiceType parameter in /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf.
