> X は仰け反り、聞いてるこちらが悲しくなる **ような** 悲鳴を上げた。

X shrieked in a way that made me become sorrowful

> Person talking to the speaker was singing before

> あの惚れ惚れする **ような** 歌声を聞いていたためか、ひどく棒読みに聞こえるのは。

I heard her voice as extremely monotone, maybe because i had already heard her
singing voice that enchanted me (made me enchanted?)

> あはは、と少女はおどけて笑う。意識しているのかどうかは不明だが、俺のいたたまれない緊張がほぐれる **ような** 優しい笑みだった。

It was unclear whether she(I?) realized it or not , but it was a smile that
made my unendurable tension relax.

I feel this usage is much more explicit for the first example, does also apply
to the other two examples?

Thank you




> Can ような mean “To make”?

No.

よう(な) literally means something like "form, way, shape". And it indicates that
something **is like** something in this case.

> あの惚れ惚れするような歌声 = That singing voice like one we would be charmed by
> (literally)

The action marked by ような isn't actually executed.

But of course, when translating, you could translate it by "to make" even
though in my opinion it's not 100% accurate, there isn't a universal
translation for everything.
