Hi Brittany, Most forms of pitch-shifting shift the fundamental and all harmonic frequencies proportionally. So when you shift the F0 of a male speaker up by 4 semitones, it will sound like the voice of a person with a higher pitched voice. It will sound very natural and understandable. I don't know how audacity or garage band would do the shifting; they may do it differently than other commercial devices, but you could easily measure the signals before and after to determine which frequencies (F0 and harmonics) were shifted.
