Here i think of the iPad app samplewis (http://www.wizdommusic.com/SampleWiz/index.html) which seems to have a way of pitchshifing and adjusting harmonics so that it sounds good..

And the octatrack does OK pitchshifting one octave up or down..  and could work for this application - i haven't tried it with vocals, but since can adjust EQ and reverbs and.. a lot of thing it might work and create some unexpected stuff. It works well enough for guitar at least... will try some vocals soon if I find a nice loop..
