Gender bender

Female CoX player who does voice chat with your gameplaying peers? Worried that all those grotesquely sexist male CoX players will be turned off / turned on / dismiss you / hit on you / be inexplicably challenged by your competence at gaming?
Fear not! Now you, too, can have a male-sounding voice worthy of Brian Blessed. Then all those nassssty adolescent boys won’t be intimidated by your 1337 gamer skillz.
(N.B. While most of the CoXers I know are male, the females (presuming I actuallly know their genders) include some of the most terrifyingly competent players out there. My wife heads up that list. So if you, as a male player, are dismissive of female players, get the hell over it. If you are intimidated by them — well, you damn well should be.)
