When you're playing ordinary music; does it sound darker/in a deeper tone than usual?
If it does, then you should check your speaker-settings, or the speakers themselves (provided your feeling like popping the laptop open
) - laptop speakers tend to be (atleast in some way) of lesser quality. I.e. they some times start to sound strange after a few years or so.
If the music plays just fine, then your microphone is likely to be the villain. Go ahead with Punkid's suggestion, check your microphone settings (this problem is likely caused by the "microphone playback"-setting if present).
Or try checking the microphone itself: (in some way record a piece of music, save it to a USB-flashstick or CD or whatever suits you best, now try to play it in another computer.
Does your voice still sound male? If so, then the problem is certainly caused by your microphone (or your microphone settings).
Provided you know how to find those settings... it can be very tricky i.e. searching through the control-panel, and after audio-software that came as bloatware and so on.
Hope this helps!

Has this always been happening or has it only just started?
If it has only just started happening, do what Punkid said and check your microphones settings. Could be an effect or something. If that doesnt help then it could also be the microphone going bad.
If you know how, you could also try reinstalling the driver software for your sound card and/or microphone. If you dont know how to do this, ask someone that knows to help you.

Unless your computer is running a UNIX-based OS like Macintosh or Linux, then your voice is very, very, very likely to sound male in another computer.
If the music and general sound sounds just fine, then we've successfully located your problem to your microphone. As the settings are default ones, there might be a problem with the mic. itself - hardware-related that is. Changing the mic. on a laptop is a very delicate process, though.
If a recording does sound just fine in another computer, then the problem is instead very likely to be related to "special microphone playback". Although Windows scrapped this thingy when windows XP SP2 arrived.
And if it sounds male in another computer, your mic. is probably the culprit.

i got a friend who experience the same thing. except her voice only transforms when calling using windows live messenger only.
what I suggest you to do is to first reinstall the sound driver, preferably update it. if you have recorded your own voice and it is distorted, then it has many things to do with your sound configuration.

Well in laptop,s all the facilities are available especially you can convert your voice in to male or female so you could change your voice by keeping it on default if the problem is coming in your way and ask other who listen your voice they also do there settings in to default then your problem could be solve
Roughly what I was going to say. if it is a built in microphone in a laptop or part of a webcam they sometimes often provide 3rd party software which has an option to disguise your voice. Check that there is no such setting (logitech or microsoft webcam/mic software). If you find nothing in the settings then try and borrow another microphone from a friend and test that out. Nothing easier than the basic testing to rule out a hardware problem
