No, they did not. The wall of the skene and the shape of the theatron provided amplification, in addition to a very loud voice.
Masks were used to represent the character being played, as one actor often (indeed, almost always) played several parts per play given the restriction of only three actors per play and had few other ways of signifying the change. They also protrayed various emotions, as the actors' faces were hidden.
Men played womens roles in greek theatre and, all of the men wore masks, women hardly came out of the house let alone do a play in the theatre.
The difference between modern day theatre and ancient Greek theater is that in ancient Greece only boys could act in the shows. The stages were tilted instead of the chairs for the audience and they used big two sided masks made of rock.
The plays were part of religious festivals for the gods.

No. Theatre in ancient Greece was composed of all men.
Greek theatrical masks are used so men can pretend to be woman and so they can play several parts. They also used masks so the people at the back can see there face expressions. The uses of masks in ancient Greek theatre draw their origin from the ancient dionysiac culture. Thespis was the first writer, who used a mask. Usually the masks were made of linen, wood, or leather. A marble or stone face was used as a mould for the mask. Human or animal hair was also used. The eyes were fully drawn but in the place of the pupil of the eye was a small hole so that the actor could see. Some people claim that the masks had one more significance they added resonance to the voice of an actor so that everyone in the huge ancient theatre could hear him. The members of the chorus wore masks, usually similar to each other but completely different from the leading actors.

The plays were part of religious festivals for the gods.
Traditionally, women did not. Men would wear masks and clothes that told the audience they were female, but women weren't aloud to act onstage. Women had very strict rules (unless they're Spartans :P) about such things.
The practice of wearing masks dates back to the 18th Century. People wear masks as they allow them to act in ways they do not normally do and enjoy the festivities.
