* Subverted in the Creator/WhoopiGoldberg movie ''Film/TheAssociate'', where she disguises herself as a white male investor to get ahead on Wall Street. At first, the DragQueen coaching Whoopi ''tries'' to get her to deepen her voice ("If I go any deeper I'll be talking out my uterus!"), but eventually she just uses a slightly-raspier version of her natural voice and fools people all the same (it helps that Whoopi already has a pretty deep voice for a woman).

* To avert this in real life, you have to remember that doing a convincing female voice is ''not'' a matter of how high you can go. It's a matter of ''resonance''. Most male voices, even higher-pitched ones, have a "boom" in them that women lack. Taking the boom out your voice out will get a much more convincing result (you may sound like Creator/BeaArthur if your voice is particularly deep, but you'll at least sound like a woman), compared to the standard comedic routine of someone on helium and/or crack.
