comment
A male character who is In Touch with His Feminine Side, Camp Gay, Camp Straight, androgynous looking, transgender and hasn’t done voice training or hormones yet, or just generally effeminate will often have a softer or more high-pitched voice than other males. Sometimes this is their natural voice and other times it's intentionally pitched. It's not uncommon to see even adult males voiced by women.
This is often done to set up an Unsettling Gender-Reveal. It's also common in Sensitive Guy and Manly Man, Noble Male, Roguish Male, or Masculine–Feminine Gay Couple setups, with the more masculine partner having a deeper voice. Keets often have girlish voices to accentuate their "hyper and effeminate" persona.
With eunuchs, they often have a Creepy High-Pitched Voice and effeminate appearance, especially if they were castrated at a young age.
The Spear Counterpart to Tomboyish Voice, where masculine women have gruff voices with aggressive inflections. This often results in Vocal Dissonance, especially with adult examples.
Contrast Baritone of Strength, which represents a masculine man with a fittingly imposing voice. See also Screams Like a Little Girl.

Naruto:
Haku is an androgynous teenage boy voiced by a woman doing a feminine voice. When Naruto sees him dressed as a civilian in a woman's kimono, he thinks that Haku's a girl.
Orochimaru has a Creepy High-Pitched Voice. He's always been androgynous to the point where, due to the fact he uses other's bodies to stay young, he often veers into Ambiguous Gender. It should be noted that in Japanese, he's voiced by a woman using a raspy voice, while in English, he's voiced by a man using a smoother voice.

Tsukasa Okino from 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is voiced by a voice actress in both English and Japanese, with neither bothering to affect a more masculine tone of voice. However, outside of being very casual about cross-dressing and his androgynous looks, there isn't much about the way he carries himself that's feminine.

In A Song of Ice and Fire, Varys "the Spider" is shown to have very feminine mannerisms, and his voice is described as being sweet, effeminate, and "cloying" by different characters. However, this is likely to simply be a mask, as he is seen in other disguises, with many different tones of voice.

In The Zodiac Series, upon hearing Ambassador Morscerta speak, Rho immediately notes that his voice sounds way too feminine to be a male's voice. Whether or not this is what he actually sounds like is up for debate, given that he's a magically created fake identity.

Ed, Edd n Eddy:
Jimmy is a quiet boy who likes baking, playing with dolls, and hanging out with his best friend (and crush) Sarah. He has the softest and most high-pitched voice out of the males.
Edd has several stereotypically feminine attributes and has a higher-pitched voice than his friends. This is probably why Eddy's brother mistook him for Eddy's girlfriend in The Movie.

Hajime of Ensemble Stars! speaks (and sings!) with a very soft, gentle, and somewhat high-pitched voice, fitting for his sweet and feminine personality. Unusually, he isn't voiced by a woman, perhaps because having one female voice actor among thirty men would have stood out too much, especially given that many of the voice actors regularly interact with fans of the game.

Libra from Fire Emblem: Awakening is voiced by women in both Japanese (Megumi Yamano) and English (Cindy Robinson) and has a gentle and soft voice.
