    Your best & only really viable way of doing this is to record a bunch of people singing your backing vox
     
    Sure, you could spend hours trying to fake it with V-Vocal, but I guarantee you one thing - you won't like the result!

    If V-Vocal is the way you have chosen, just copy the original track and start experimenting. Add minor pitch and timing changes, and play with formant (I don't remember, if VV has formant setting, though). I don't think there's a tutorial for  this (??). Allthough multiple, slightly different takes of the backing vocals would make your work a little easier. You will not be able to make a convincing female voice out of a daddy-male voice, and with the male variations you'll have to settle with quite a few compromises. At least, don't expect to get something publishable.
     
    With Melodyne you'd propably get better results, but, IMO, for somewhat convincing results you'd need at least three different voices to start with, one of them female.

    SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre  -  Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc.
    The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.

    If you're going to go that route.... at least record yourself singing the track a bunch of times.... and vary the timing as much as possible. The same voice recorded on multiple tracks can sound almost as bad as using V-vocal or any other similar software to do this.  Melodyne does let you play with the formants which can  in fact emulate a voice of the opposite gender quite nicely if done correctly.

    You might take a look at the "Clone Ensemble" vst.  I've used it a couple of times.
