Hello Denise, I assume the Infovox iVox voices package you downloaded was a .dmg file. If so, when you open it, you have a folder containing a number of files. Look for the one with the .pkg extension and open it with Cmd-O. You will then be guided through the installation process.
If you aren't see the file extensions, in the Finder, go into Finder Preferences, Cmd-Comma, and select the Advanced tab. Check the Show all filename extensions check box. This will help you to know what to do with any given file.
