Lloyd Whereas I agree entirely that the clip of Pavarotti has no falsetto in it, I am still yet to be convinced of the argument that women's voices do not have a falsetto. I watched a clip on the Dave Stroud web site that showed abbducted women's folds, much as you have described the arrangement for falsetto in the male voice, with tone being produced. Unfortunately I cannot find this video clip as the web site has been updated (this was several years ago). I will contact the site and see if it is still available because it makes interesting viewing. Before I saw it I would probably have agreed that women do not have a falsetto - now I'm not convinced.
