I can help you with the first question.
You must look for a setting called let cortana respond to hey cortana.
To do this the easiest way is:
1: search for cortana settings
2: hit enter
3: tab one time past the option that says manage what cortana knows
about me in the cloud.
4: make sure the option i refered to above which is allow cortana to
respond to hey cortana is pressed.
note: You might want to have cortana learn your voice.
You will get a list of 6 phrases you must say to her, don't worry, its
pretty easy, and if you mess up she will prompt you to resay it.
And they come one at a time so its pretty simple.

Staying with the US American English region, is there any way I can change the
Cortana voice from female to a male voice instead?
Secondly, if I want to do this, how do I set up my system where rather than
hitting enter on the microphone, I can just simply say Hey Cortana?
