Record your background tracks without varispeeding, but then select the entire clip afterwards, load it into V-Vocal or Melodyne, and shift the formant up or down as desired. You can do it in V-Vocal, or in Melodyne. Since it's not just the pitch and speed change, but rather the timbre change as well that is so attractive to us who appreciate the benefits and usage of varispeed, there *is* a quick trick to approximate just the timbre change, if that's your main goal. I felt compelled to post a (long) comment in the thread that LAW linked to above but here's another thought that just occurred to me: simply doubling or using a chorus/delay effect. The properly done the effect was "subtle" but one could tell the difference between that technique vs. Best of all, because they were recorded in "real-time" at varying speeds the tracks retained the proper phrasing, breathing, attacks & cutoffs. When all of the tracks were played back at normal speed, the resulting effect (due to the timbre changes in the BGV's that recorded at slower speeds) was an added "sheen" or "emphasis" to the mixed tracks. Sometimes I would slow the tape just a tad more and record another pass.
Then I would slow the tape slightly and record another pass. I would record the first pass at normal speed.
