This is a physics concept question and I have no clue.

Because the vocal cords vibrate more quickly in helium. More particularly, the vocal cords vibrate more quickly in any gas that has lower density than air. When they vibrate more quickly, the higher frequency of the sound waves translates to a higher pitch.

Not high pitched. It changes the "TIMBRE" of your voice.
Ok, bit of anatomy here. You are able to talk by having air hit your vocal cords, causing vibrations. Different sounds cause different resonances, making all the sounds different.
Helium is the lightest element in the universe (so far). That means that sound will travel faster, and your voice speed increases. If you don't believe it, go to a sound recorder and fastforward something. If you squeeze something into a smaller level, the lines get longer. Meaning your voice's frequency is higher.
Very short answer: Helium, which is lighter than air, increases speed of your voice and makes the frequency higher.

its genuine... helium is lighter then air.. and it has distinctive traits... once you talk with helium on your equipment, your voice turns into shrill and better pitched because of fact the wave length's and frequencies created with the aid of your voice container are closer mutually because of helium... and this makes your voice sound greater pitched
