I think Dave was trying to get you to realise that, since 'voices' is plural, you'd use the form of the verb that a plural subject usually takes.

Really? You know "voices" is plural, therefore it would equate to "they". So you believe that the third person plural form of a verb ends "s" or "es"? Please conjugate the verb "to match" for us here.

Re: Is it Match or Matches?
'matches' is the form that would follow a third person singular noun or pronoun subject, for example, he, she, it, his voice.
