they would wear masks because girls were not allowed to act in plays and so men had to play women's parts and to make it more realistic they would wear girl masks so they looked like the part. also sometimes they didn't have enough actors so some actors had lots of different parts to play, therefore they hid their face by wearing a mask so the audience would think it was a different actor (as for their voice, they would change the pitch or accent)
