Jun 4, 2016 7:04 AM in response to DOSEofHANNAby BenB,First thing to do is select that clio in the Timeline, Option-Command-R will reset any speed retiming changes you may have accidentally made.
What camera recorded this?
What codec, frame rate, audio sample rate?

In the Timeline, select a clip that is "manly". Open the Inspector Pane, click on the Audio tab and scroll down and see if you applied any effects to the clip like EQ, Vocal Enhancement, etc… If you find something a small blue indicator should be lit up. Click on that and then see if the issue goes away.
Do the same for Video tab in the Inspector pane.
You may have activated something like "Background Noise Removal" or "Hum Removal" and this will affect the sound.
This assumes you made your recordings with the same audio gear. If you used a different camera or audio recording gear/microphone, then that may be the reason.
Hope this helps, Greg

Jun 16, 2016 8:38 AM in response to BenBby DOSEofHANNA,Thank you for your help, but resetting everything didn't solve the problem actually! I didn't add any audio or visual effects that may cause this, which is why I don't know what the cause of the "manly voice" is.
I used my iPhone 5s. As for the codec, frame rate and audio sample rate, I honestly don't know what these things are. Please tell me where I could find them and I will let you know!

Thank you so much for helping me out! Unfortunately, resetting the audio and visual "effects" didn't work, because there were none! I don't know why this is happening to only SOME clips...
That is correct, I am using the audio from my iPhone 5s throughout the entire vlog.

Jun 16, 2016 9:55 AM in response to DOSEofHANNAby David Bogie Chq-1,There are two easily messed up ways a voice can be made to sound deeper: You apply an audio or time-change effect to it deliberately or you're playing at the wrong frame rate. (Sampling rates are a different possibility.)
You have said there are no effects applied so that leave frame rate issues. If you shot your movie at 30fps and placed it into a 25fps timeline, it's going to be playing slightly slower and the frequencies in your voice will be reduced, lowering the pitch. You shoot 10 seconds at 30 fps, that's 300 frames.
You put that clip into a 25fps timeline and it is now going to play the original 300 frames over a longer time, 12 seconds.
It's much more complicated than that (FCPX will try to keep things matched but those settings are user-controlled) but that's one basic, possible, mechanical explanation.
