Got a friend who I want to help her make her VB. Only issue is I use Mac and she's PC. Is it possible for me to take a voice.utau file and give it to her?

Are voicebanks compatible across UTAU Synth and UTAU?

I think there might be an indirect way of doing it. (Fair warning before I continue: I have no idea if this will work. I have no experience with PC UTAU, so this is purely theoretical. I did some research on PC UTAU to compare, but that's it.)
That being said, here's my suggestion. From what I can tell, the key difference between the way the PC version stores VBs and the way Synth does is that Synth requires the voicebank be in a single .utauvoice file and in the PC version you move the folder containing all the required sound/files into the "voice" subdirectory of the program. It seems to me like what might work is if you made it into an .utauvoice file at first. Then you would go into Finder and right-click on the file and select "Show package contents," then copy all of those files into a folder. Then you'd compress the folder and send it to your friend, who should be able open it (the only problem I could see with this is if they didn't have software to open the file, but it's possible to decompress files online or convert it to another compressed folder file extension, so it's easily fixable) and drag it to the subdirectory.

the main difference of voicebank in Mac and PC is the OTO file.
Mac is oto_ini.txt and PC is oto.ini
I did my Chiyuki in Mac, and then 'converted' to PC. I copy the folder to PC, delete the oto_ini.txt, and re-write the oto in utau PC. I spent about 2 hours re-writing the aliases, offsets, blanks, etc ^^;
UTAU synth also produce .spef files by itself that makes the folder size bigger. You can delete all the .spef file in PC...
