Hi Cody 

When you launch test-speech you get a list of all synthesis drivers installed into your box.
This is a numbered list from 1 to n. Select the number or better type the number that is your driver to test, 
for example type 1 and then enter to select the first driver, would be festival-synthesis-driver.
So then  pay attention to what test-speech prints in the screen.

What distribution are you using? Make sure that in your /etc/hosts file  you have in your 127.0.0.1 entry 
first the localhost hostname.
Something like this: 
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain bla.bla.bla 

Good luck!

Javier.
