I believe you go to /library/voices, but I might have that path wrong. In either the system library folder or your current user account's library folder, though, you will find a folder containing all the voices your Mac has, sorted into a folder for each speech synthesizer provider. Simply erase the voices you no longer want (each is its own folder). I haven't personally done this in a while, so the details might be off.
