^As much as I understand the concept of "genderless", reality is a person has hormones in them that are effected one way or another. Usually, the genitals cause the hormones to accumulate in the body...

It matters because the voice adjusts to gender because of hormones effect voice at times. If a woman takes performance enhancing hormones for spots, for example, her voice deepens as a side effect owed to the fact they effect the voice voice. It can cause them to develop a Adams' apple, which is normally a male trait only and the reason why a male has a deeper voice.

Female and Male do not share the same voice range entirely, while they share a overlap women reach higher pitches then males and males reach deeper ones. Its also important when classifying because, like Len and Ryuto, the voice isn't considered "realistic portrayal", and becomes a example of "voice acting". Thus if you want a voice that reflects a female voice, the only way to get it realistically is with a female provider... Mostly because you want the voice to STAY female sounding as you edit and not have masculine common tones slip in.

This is the science anyway behind the situation. There are always exceptions to the situation. I don't always agree on all of this myself, but this pretty much sums up what is the problem.

If you don't believe me look... Kagamine Len should either sound similair to Oliver if he is not undergoing puberty or similar to VY2, YOHIOloid or Piko if he is post it. But he sounds like none of the younger males, quite, and this is the problem. When pitched against the real male vocals, he doesn't sound *quite* right. :-/
