Hi,
The extra voices are only for OS X Lion, unfortunately.

Hi Daniel, Can you get extra voices for your mac? I have the white macbook running snowleopard. If you can get voices, where do you get them from?

Using Finders great "Go to Folder" feature of Command+Shift+G enter the following path: /System/Library/Speech/Voices/ You'll see a list of voices, but notice they come in two formats: Voice and VoiceCompact, you can keep VoiceCompact because those are just the short samples, it's the Voice.SpeechVoice you want to delete to remove the full voice. For a quick example we'll get rid of Samantha - sorry Samantha, you sound lovely but you take up too much space - so we will be deleting Samantha.SpeechVoice. Select that folder and either drag it to the Trash or hit Command+Delete to place it there automatically. Because the voice files are contained in /System/ you will need to authenticate with the <http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/29/delete-voices-mac-os-x-lion/> administrator password in order to delete the file, so type that in, then you can empty the Trash. No more Samantha! I hope this helps!

Do these compact voices slow the Mac computers down at all? I have downloaded a few of the premium ones but really can't see a use for most of the pre installed voices. I suspect the answer will be no but thought it worth asking. Thanks to all for help on mailbox issues. All sorted now.
