Is there a correlation between adult height and vocal range? I
think if we factor out gender, there isn't. When I look at a
choir, I don't notice that the basses are taller than the tenors
or that the altos are taller than the sopranos. I would
conclude then that different factors produce height and vocal
range, and that body size and cord size are not proportional.
