Trick!
Trick: a lot of folks think that to make themselves sound more masculine or feminine, they need to change the pitch of their voices. But pitch is only one dimension of how we perceive "gender" as it relates to voice! Timbre (where the sound is vibrating in your mouth), cadence (the range of high and low within a sentence) and vowel colour (the overtones of sound within each vowel) are just as, if not more important!
So, if you want your voice to sound more feminine, exaggerating your vowels (really clear ee's, ah's and oo's) and having a wide cadence going up and down in your sentences will read as more femme to most people, even if you have a deeper voice.
Whereas if you want to sound more masculine, speaking with a more flat, monotone affect and making all your vowels sound more like "uh" will read as more masc, even if you have a higher pitched voice.
