Try a formant pitchshifting plug-in. Arboretum Systems Hyperprism 2.5 has a Direct-X formant pitchshifter. It works okay but nothing does a great job at that I know of.

Waves has a formant changer too (which will keep the pitch the same but make the voice sound like it's coming from a female body... if this doesn't make sense do a search on the word "formant" on the web and see how pitch and formants effect gender effects on voices). The waves formant changer isn't that great either.

IMHO the only functional use of formant changing is when you're applying it to a group of buried backing vocals and you want to make it one person's multi-tracked voice sound like a bunch of different voices. Techonology hasn't created a plug-in yet that sounds good enough to actually use on a lead vocal.

As for computerized voice effects, look into vocoders.

The RBC Voice tweaker has a preset called " womanize" and for the most part is pretty funny!
I use this to torture clients all the time.
