I can change the language but I would like to change my assistant voice to female if possible. Is there an option somewhere?

The male voice is outrageously Jeeves the butler.

He sounds like the vast majority of the British public just now …… completely depressed 
It's much easier to use the voice function if you change to the non-haptic steering wheel buttons. I would not use it at all before making the change. I used it to turn on the heated seats. Easier than finding it in the center display. I'll use it for more things going forward now that its easier to access.

I have found voice assistant to be useless, as it does not recognize car play, only Bluetooth. When I get in, the car automatically connects to car play and if I use the microphone assistant, it simply says ‘Bluetooth device not recognized’.
If I tell the car to only pair on Bluetooth, it works, but then I lose all the CarPlay functionality.

To access voice control for CarPlay just long press the voice assistant button - it then defaults to CarPlay and Siri, and will use whatever voice is designated on your iPhone (which you can change) and you can use voice commands for Nav, music, calls, voice texting etc.. I can even run commands inside apps, for example switching channels in the SiriusXM app by saying "Tune to Ozzy's Boneyard", and it will say "Now playing Ozzy's Boneyard" and switch the channel.
I have not tested on Android, but for Apple CarPlay its brilliant..
(..but nice call out on using the voice control for the heated seats, now I have to try that one)

Brilliant! Thank you, that works. Long press and the mic goes to CarPlay.
Indeed, I normally keep location services turned off, because I do not like my phone tracking me. When I want to use Waze, I can even use the mic to turn location services on, and then turn it back off at my destination without having to go to the settings page in the phone.

Don't you just use Car Play?
Car Play basically just transfers the related functions you have on your iPhone to the car , so if you have a certain selected voice set on your iPhone it should be a seamless connection .
Perhaps I am misunderstanding your question that perhaps the Emira car systems has its own imbedded voice control ?
My own car arrives to me here in Canada in about 2 weeks so I guess I will have a better understanding then

Yes, it appears there are two microphone interfaces. A short press on the mic button gets you the embedded car assistant. However this is a dumb interface that only looks to a bluetooth device, so if your phone is connected via CarPlay, it does not see the phone and just tells you there is no bluetooth device connected. A long push on the mic button, and the mic connects to Siri on your phone, which does detect the CarPlay device and interfaces properly.
