Also, getting real for a moment here, but your voice doesn't sound any more male than mine did before I started out. In fact, if you go too far back (like my To the Moon videos, for example) I think you're actually starting out ahead of where I did.
This is incredibly easier said than done to fix I know but the biggest thing I can hear affecting your voice is shyness/lack of confidence. From there, if shyness weren't an issue and scenery-chewing voice acting were easier for you, it turns out getting from where I was to where I am now was mostly just a matter of practice. (Playing Dr. Rosalene for two games will do that to you.)
The trick is to go for softness rather than pitch, so instead of Monty Python falsettos you get that conversation we had once about why all the trans YouTubers you watch sound so breathy and wispy and ethereal. How to speak up and project so you don't sound shy without canceling out the softness is the tricky part, of course, and is where I'm currently struggling.
