gender voice variants

[Mark Davis ☕]

Having a distinction between formal and informal, or between fvoice and
mvoice may be reasonable.

But denoting facts about the speaker are a massive slippery slope, and
really belong somewhere else. One can foresee the path from

   - male speaker, then
   - elderly speaker, then
   - male, elderly, speaks-like-Jack-Nickelson speaker
