The issue is in gnome-speech's festival driver, which currently only 
recognizes two voices.  See bugzilla bug 141516; Fernando Herrera was 
working on a patch to make gnome-speech's festival driver automatically 
recognize all installed voices, but I haven't heard from him about that 
patch in awhile.

However, in the meantime you could add the voice yourself by modifying 
the gnome-speech driver, similar to what Fernando did in this patch:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=37094&action=view

The patch above includes the fix for passing UTF8 strings to festival, 
which has been applied to cvs, so you would not need the whole patch, I 
only provide it as an example of how you could "hard-code" new voices 
into an existing gnome-speech festival driver.
