OK, for this limited scope I agree that "generic" variants (i.e. with no
Prefix) might make sense.

"Male" is only four letters, so it can't be a variant subtag, but this
is probably a Good Thing since 'male' and 'female' would likely be
misused for language-specific dialects. You are probably looking for
something like 'mvoice' and 'fvoice'.
