dre,
i agree she (karneus) does seem to have an easy range and, is clearly a good singer and, much preferable to otter (at least, in the sample).
the slight shrillness i hear, on a few of the notes, is the type of shrillness i have heard live, not the type a stereo would cause. it may even be something you like about her voice. unless we're both listening to the same source, it's probably silly to get into a big discussion about it.
concerning the asymmetry of her vocal folds, i'm really suspicious about that. experiments done with larynges of cadavers are known to produce sounds that we would not recognize as human. so, clearly her sound is due more to her ability to manipulate her vocal tract and not due to her folds, i would guess.
still, i would be curious to know further.
