Can this pass off as female?

Hi! So this morning I recorded an UTAU. A female one. Yet I am male. :O So I was wondering, could this potentially pass off as a female voice? (I know it's rough sounding, I threw it together in a few hours and haven't had much time to tweak things like the OTO and rerecordings).

NO g flag:

g-5 (and Y0) flag:

Keep in mind that this isn't going to be a trap; I'm going for a legitimate female UTAU. Also this was hilarious to make and was done between random giggle fits. >:D

OH!~ yes yes yes this is perfectly fine!
She sounds adorable. ;D

I have a lower voice for a girl so i tend to use a g flag as well.
she sounds more feminine than my utau will ever be. XD

Depends on what kind of female you're lookin' for~

I say the first one sounds more womanly. And the second one is more cute. Personally I like the first one better;; But I think it could pass for a lady if you choose a not-so-cute design.

Then again Iris has a cute design and look at her;;

I tried to make it look mature, but then this happened (ignore the terribad hands):

I really wanted this color scheme, so I kept it, but the character itself looks too cute. Of course, I modified it a LOT from my original idea, no poofy skirt or bows or anything, haha. I like the way it came out, but I don't know if it matches the voice. :o I guess I'll use g flags then.

Also the things in her hair are mint leaves, she's based of of neapolitan ice cream. Also, is it too simple?

It is a little simple but I still like it. Why not give her longer hair? I dunno...usually when I see females with long hair they come off as more mature for some reason, unless it's in a cutsey style like pigtails. And then you could give her a light sweater to wear. That being said I also think your style is playing into her being so cutesy looking~ Try making the eyes more narrow and give her some eyelashes~

Ah, good ideas! I'll revise it later.

Hey cooooool 8O8O I think she's sounding fine even without the g flag...don't worry about passing, I just can't wait to hear her when she's been properly otoed and stuff XD

The first one sounds mature and deep and the one with g flags sounds girlier but still with a mature tone and I think it's enough convincing to be a lady's voice ^^ I seriously envy guys being able to produce convincing female voices naturally orz

It seems they both fit to the design~

After as Iris said, the look may sometimes not necessarily like the voice as with her UTAU, nor even amongst Vocaloids with Iroha being the most noticeable... I also know personally about the low tone because my true voice is quite deep and tomboyish compared with my girly high-pitched singing orz No need to say in my case the singing one doesn't fit how I do look like IRL OTL


Then, Taylor's idea sounds good ~ You could eventually try to make them as Nana Macne and Petit, like one of them being the miniature version and getting a different voice too

Hmmm, interesting. Maybe this design could be the petit with the higher pitch, then the more mature design would be the one without g-flags. ^_^ In a way this is like a reverse gender bend.

I'm actually surprised this worked at all, the recordings sound nothing like how it actually sounds when zipped through UTAU. And another thing, I have to find a way to remove that screech from the "i" sounds, it's driving me crazy. It's all "lalalala ***iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii**"  O__O I guess just recording softer could fix that.

I think I'll make the leaves on the mature design into a moon instead of a heart.

I really like the voice without the g flag. Don't be afraid of having a deeper voiced female. I mean, look at SELEN.
